Surely I'm not the ONLY one that has ever had that thought when writing up a Sunday Post? During that time I've not received any new books and honestly I'm not making much progress in reading any of the ones I have and so my blogging has been pretty sparse as well. Blogging and reading time has been lacking over all for me. Life is busy in other ways. My son has traveled for a band competition and then a Chorus Festival and that's on top of Friday night football, which for the first t...

*ARC* The Bachelor Auction - Review

Image
The Bachelor Auction (The Bachelors of Arizona #1) By: Rachel Van Dyken Published: October 4, 2016 by Forever 352 pages Source: Netgalley ARC from publisher   ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Cinderella never had to deal with this crap. Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire---maybe  do  exist. Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. A prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retributio...

I'm hoping to see a trend up in those areas though. It never fails when I feel like I'm making progress and posting regular reviews that we get busy or I find myself in a rut with my book choices and then I'm back to not being ahead with reviews. Oh well... In other news, this weekend we celebrated our niece's first bi...
