Random Image Search Part 2

Ok so today I did a search on "Hello"

As you would expect I got the normal exorborant amount of Hello Kitty images,

but one caught my eye,

and then some very interesting parts of my body.

Let me introduce to you the NEW Male Hello Kitty Pin-up

(Well at least I think he should be!)

Quote of the Day

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it right? There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.

Martin Luther King (1929-1968)

No Martin Luther King wasn’t talking about homosexuality, alternative lifestyles etc, but he was talking about prejudice and really isn’t that just universal?

New Release - Currently Reading - Montana's Vamp - Lynn Hagen

Release Date: 10th July 2011
Publisher: Siren Publishing

Book: Montana's Vamp
Author: Lynn Hagen


Blurb:
Gabriele Sloane has been picked on his entire life by the coven he grew up in. They taunted him, ridiculed him, and downright hated him. When they do the unthinkable and kick him out, Gabby is forced to find a new home. Dodging the sun and low on his diabetic supplies, he wanders aimlessly until he finds himself in the arms of one bald and sexy shifter.
Montana Graton hates vampires with a passion. His best friend was killed by one. Hungry and bored, he decides to visit the diner in town. The little redhead sitting one booth over looks good enough to roll around in the back of his truck with—until the smell hits him and he discovers the redhead is his mate.
Can Montana set aside his hatred and claim the little vamp, or will he allow his festering hate to surface and turn his back on the sexy little fireball fate has given him?

Note: Each book in Lynn Hagen's Brac Pack collection features a different romantic couple. Each title stands alone and can be read in any order. However, we recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Book: Vet Found - Hiding Houds, #2
Author: Joyee Flynn

My Review: 

This is one steamy book! I love it! 

Dr Cameron really hasn't a clue what he is getting himself in for when he agrees to head up into the mountains to a small community of puppy shifters. He wants to help them, stop them from dying out due to disease. He is evious of the relationship between his friend and Randalls mate but doesn't think that he will ever find someone. Until he meets Quaid. 

Quiad has secrets he is ashamed of and even though he has found and claimed his mate it is still not easy for him. He has a hard time trying to explain himself as he has never told anyone his secrets before so when the time comes for him to it doesn't happen the way he had expected.

Between the secrets and mis-understandings, things don't go well for either Quaid or Cameron. Can they find what they are both looking for in eachother before their hearts fall apart completely?

The story between Cameron and Quaid is the age old argument of not listening to one another and not giving them time to explain before conclusions are jumped to.

Book: Cowboy Way, Blaecleah Brothers, #3
Author: Stormy Glenn

My Review:  
There is always something...

For each of the Blaecleah Brothers that have found their love there has always been a story behind them, and this one is no different. Matty has grown up in his parents house always hiding what he is. The good Reverend McCallister is the worst kind of God-fearing man. Once of the one's that put's the fear of not only God but the fear of themselves into everyone that are known by them and his son is no different. Matty know's that to be himself he will have to leave the only place he has ever called home. The people of his small town will never except him, not while his father is practically running the place.

So he leaves, but after a few revelations he is not alone. His younger brother is with him also. The he meets the Blaecleah family and more importantly Quiad. Can he hope to be himself and will Quaid feel the same for him that he instantly feels for Quaid? 

This story is about the hopes and fears of a man that has only ever lived in fear. Working through issues of fear, hate, love, worry, mis-trust and self-hatred. Can they get what they have both been waiting for their whole lives or will the good Reverand take them away form each other for good.

Blurb: Matthew McCallister knew coming out to his father, a very conservative minister, would be the end of life in his hometown. With his younger brother, Ruben, by his side, he flees their hometown only to be arrested for kidnapping and theft. But the sheriff of Cade Creek seems to believe in Matty's innocence and suggests that he and Ruben hide out at the Blaecleah ranch.
Matty is in no way prepared for the Blaecleah family, especially Quaid Blaecleah. The man is gorgeous and kind, a combination Matty isn't used to in men he's attracted to. When Quaid proposes marriage as a way to save him from his father, Matty is terrified to agree because he's been used in the past. He's just as afraid to say no. Quaid intrigues Matty in a way he's never experienced. When Matty's father arrives in town and starts making threats, can Matty trust Quaid to keep him safe, or will he be burned again?

Sorry :(

Hi all, I'm sorry I know it has been a while since I have been on and updated anything on here.

Sorry Comments

I have been thinking about it and want to try something that is a little different.
In the past I have been posting the books I have been Reading, their Blurb and my rating.

I have to say that I read some much in one week that I generally don't have time to write anything about the book, and also have the details of so many books in my head that I get confused.

Well, time for a new leaf I tihnk. I will try my best to write at least a line or 2 about each book I read, but I will also let you know what I'm going to read next, (As long as I don't change my mind when I get to the book, that actually happens quite a lot), and also what books are due to be released. I will also try and find as many competitions as I can and let you know about them.

I will also be adding a new rating system to the blog. This will be posted shortly.

I'm going to Sign off for now and get a list of a few books that are due to be released by the end of this week.

Time to get cracking.
