How is everyone doing? Some shopping and Gold Necklace ideas!

This has been a very snowy week in Connecticut. First, we had Blizzard Calvin! Which we heard a mom went into labor during the blizzard. We have a fantastic response team in our town. I can not say enough nice things about them. Then today we had another 3 inches of snow. Not to mention my hubby had stitches taken out of his hand while it was snowing. I waited in the car, because I am a klutz and was afraid that I would fall. There is something so pretty about new snowfall, before the sand gets it dirty. While I was in the car, I browsed on line and found a great jewelry site. I found Beautiful Necklaces .

I must admit that I love charms, and I love coffee. This is a perfect charm for me. I also liked that I can get chains, which I can always use, and great gems. I also really like Pandora charms! Everyone knows that I really love turtles! I have loved turtles since I was on my way home from grade school one day and, my dad saved a turtle that was in the middle of the road. How pretty in this charm?

I have also loved Origami Owl for years. I love being able to pick out little charms that remind me of my hubby, my nieces and nephew, or my dad. I have a necklace with Harry Potter charms! I have cats and pumpkins. There are so many different ways to express myself.  

There are also some really cool charms from Avon. They have a Cherished Memories line of charms that I really like. There are very few times that I not reading or crocheting. Today was a good day to do some online browsing while watching it snow.

I would love to hear about your favorite charm, or gold necklace. Please leave a comment letting me know. I will enter each commenter into a wheel giveaway. The winner will receive a set of 2 crocheted top towels from me. Be sure to include your email in your comment so I can contact you.

Tempted by Love A Montana Heat Novel by Jennifer Ryan Review

She was this Montana Man’s greatest temptation . . .

Alina Cooke—little sister of his two best friends—is the last woman DEA agent Jay Bennett should be waking up next to on the day of her brother’s wedding. But their powerful attraction ignited a powder keg of desire, and their once simple friendship has just become impossibly complicated.

Alina’s always been steady, focused, and lived on the safe side of life. Jay is totally devoted to his dangerous job. She knows a future with him will be filled with worry that one day he won’t come home. She’s done it with her brothers. She’s not sure she can face that uncertainty with the man she loves. Yet being in his arms is a bad idea they keep repeating, again and again.

When Alina is run off the road, Jay fears his job has made her a target. But the threat in Alina’s life is closer than they think. As the enemy gets more ruthless, Alina proves she’s no easy target and Jay will do anything to bring them down. Because surviving and being together is the only thing that matters.

My Review:
Jay was in trouble. He took his friendship to the next level and was not willing to settle down and give up his dangerous job for Alina. The title is a good fit, because fate keeps tempting them and getting them together. However it is a good think that Jay was around for her when she got into trouble. I did think that there was a lot of repetition of  the other books in the series, at times I felt as though I was rereading what I had already read. However My mother in law read the book after me and she enjoyed the background, having not read the previous books. Especially how they are all tied together at the end. These two were my favorite couple by far, and I loved how family oriented they were. The live stream was my favorite! I am giving this book a 4/5. All opinions are my own.

True to You (Montana Heat #2) by Jennifer Ryan Review

The third book in breakout star Jennifer Ryan’s scorching Montana Heat series is a story of forbidden love between an undercover DEA agent and the do-gooder daughter of the drug cartel leader he’s determined to take down

A Montana Man risks everything for the woman he loves…

Undercover DEA Special Agent Dawson King spent five months in a Montana prison establishing a fake identity to take down a ruthless drug dealer and put him behind bars. Except there’s a wild card...the killer’s beloved daughter. Cara Potter may appear to be on the right side of the law, but King has learned the hard way to trust no one—even someone as tantalizing as the coffee shop owner. She’s irresistible...but is she also dangerous?

From the moment he enters her life, King makes Cara...nervous. The handsome drifter says he wants to get his life together...but there is something about him that doesn’t quite ring true. Cara wants to believe in him, yet she holds back despite the way he awakens dormant dreams and leaves her breathless with his sexy smile, steamy kisses, his every touch.

When the explosive truth comes out and she’s betrayed by the ones she loves, Cara must decide—can she trust her heart, or should she listen to her head?


My Review:

Cara is a loner, her family is non-existent, except for her uncle (who had a whole set of his own issues), and her parents were not the best role models. Her heart is Hard as stone, but she is willing to help felons. Little did she know that she was letting King into her life, and he was going to flip it upside down. Not only was he after her father, but he was also going to make a dent in her heart. This is not love at first sight. They slowly fall in love, and neither really know that much about each other. What will Cara do when she finds out the truth about King? How he was after her father and had been lying to her? What will King do to melt her heart? Will he be able to? Will their love be able to survive their situations in life? What becomes of her job? Her father? I really liked the ending, and what a unique shooting range! I am giving this book a 5/5. All opinions are my own.
