When I should be thinking about the all the things

When I should be thinking about the all the things God has done. I have three different stories playing out in my head. One for book three of the Independence Islands series, a story about the founder of Merriweather island (related to said series), and one I came up with back in 2015 that is the story of Joseph but takes place on a Mississippi River boat and her name is Josephine. Ugh, I hope the voices quiet before church starts.

He is over his head, but not drowning. I loved Bl

He is over his head, but not drowning.

I loved Blessing Bentley. The concept of marrying someone without being affectionately in love with them was a creative and thoughtful concept. Tempting Tait is just as wonderfully done.

First, let me say that Tait should go down as the most swoon worthy but underestimated hero I have ever read. He is “Clark Kent” with a “Superman” heart. Maybe lacking the bulging muscles but those come and go. His brawn is his mind, his heart, and his determination. His willingness to take the needed steps to not just save one life, but two. And the grace he had to display was rather commendable. He had to show a level of control not man have. #BookHero

Tempting Tait is more like two books. The first half is one story as Tait navigates his choice will dealing with an immature and selfish house guest. The second half read like a love story that tested, again, what love really looks like. And I might add, I have read many of Chautona Havig’s books and I will say, this one kicked up the chemistry ticker a little more than she usually does. Not that there are a ton of “Basham kisses” (if you read CF romance, you know who that is) but the intensity in those romantically suspenseful moments turned up the heater. Bravo!

If you love Chautona Havig books and unusual romances, this is the book for you. I can’t say much more because I will give away too much and that isn’t fair. Just click the link and read for yourself. I am sure you will be glad you did.

How many of you when you were younger had fried ho

How many of you when you were younger had fried hotdogs and potatoes for supper? I mean there’s nothing better than a stick of melted butter to coat a half a bag potatoes. Or however much your mama would use. Tonight we’re having a Version of that. Fried Sausage, potatoes, and onions. To feed our family it takes two packages of smoked sausage eight potatoes and an onion. It’s nothing fancy but when you need food and a short amount of time and on a tight budget, it works. So what are you having for supper tonight?
