One wrong move, and she meets a guy with all the right ones…

Talia Dalton lives her life on cruise control. Despite her successful career as a professor, she prefers protecting her broken heart to taking chances. She’s calm, cool, collected, and steady. Until the morning she takes her eyes off that familiar road and almost runs over the sexiest man she’s ever seen. It may not be the best way to start the day, but it might be the type of shake-up she needs.

Male dancer Derek Grant has goals, and nothing is going to get in the way of achieving them. As a graduate student and the sole caretaker of his ailing father, he hasn’t much time for relationships. Then Talia crashes into his life. Sweet, pretty—and so buttoned-up that he can’t wait to help her cut loose.

For Derek, falling in love was a beautiful accident waiting to happen. And it might be exactly what Talia needs—if she’s willing to let go of the past and embrace every surprise Derek has to offer.

Rugged loner Landon Brenner has a problem and she’s beautiful, intelligent, and he’s falling for her—fast. Injured while fighting the fire threatening the small town of Cedar Springs, and haunted by past failures that drive him to get back to the action despite his injuries, Landon reluctantly agrees to take a room in the house of the sexy nurse who treated him while he was in the hospital.

And she sure as heck doesn’t want to fall in love with a man whose bravery could kill him—and leave her heartbroken. She’s got her job and she’s perfectly content to spend the rest of her days alone. But Alex can’t help thinking that maybe, just maybe, Landon is worth putting her heart on the line.

Home Again ~ Safe, Sound, Tired

Posted September 8, 2018 by Marsha in Discussion Post / 0 Comments

All great things eventually come to a close – and our magical Disney vacation has now moved to the memory banks of our lives.  We had an absolutely fantastical time… words simply cannot express the fun, the friendships (old and new), the desperate break we all needed from reality for those seven days.

We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge – and what an experience that was.  A few mix-ups but what vacation doesn’t have those, yet Disney is always quick to fix things and keep the experience amazing… so kudos to the staff at the Lodge for making our trip memorable.

Isn’t this lobby view breathtaking?  I have so, so many great memories of this trip – and because I work with words I’m going to be slipping in some Vacation Memories just for me, so I hope you’ll indulge me and maybe enjoy the pictures and memories (not my pictures though, I’m horrible with a camera  lol)

This is the lobby of the Animal Kingdom Lodge facing front towards the savanna in the center of the complex

And this is the same lobby facing the inside opposite view.  Stunning, right?

 

 

Meanwhile, back home, the cat survived alone with a friend checking in on him daily.  The dog has a new second family that wants weekend sleepovers for Harley because they loved having her.  🙂  And… somehow I managed to screw up my scheduled posts for that entire week… I’ve no clue what I did, considering I do hundreds of these scheduled posts — but oh well, not gonna stress it just go fix it.

Now it’s back to reality — unpacking, getting groceries in so we don’t starve (man, eating out is expensive but it was so nice to not plan, cook and clean up)… and getting back to reviewing, reading and more reviewing – for me the fun stuff.

Hope you won’t mind the occasional walk down vacation lane memory post.  It was such fun, I didn’t want to come home… but we do what must be done, like board a plane back to the real world.  I’d much rather live in the most magical place on earth.  🙂
