It's all about the happily ever afters.

Holiday Gifts of Love Blog Hop


I have to admit to a December guilty pleasure and that’s the romantic holiday movies.  I love them all including the corny ones.  Yup, the implausible rom-com aspects, the uptight hero or heroine that learn lessons, the angels, the Santa cameos, and the elves.  I really like the elves.  The themes revolve around family, or finding someone special, love lost and found.  Some of my favorites are:

The Christmas List – It was everything she thought she wanted.  Little did she know, Santa put love on the list.

The Holiday – Jude Law, ’nuff said.

Santa Claus 2 – “There isn’t a woman alive who doesn’t want a piece of this.” Tim Allen as Santa Claus.

 Loved all the facets of love in this movie.

This hop will be active from December 14th – December 17th.


Leashed Blurb
Jack has some ‘splainin’ to do!

That’s right! Callie Lassiter’s normally well-behaved Great Dane Jack has run off and done the wild thing with the neighbor’s dog. It must be puppy love! It’s doubly embarrassing since she’s a professional dog trainer. Of course, the neighbor would have to be hot, hot nightclub owner bad boy   Owen McKay, just the kind of man Callie is determined to avoid.
 
Owen’s comfortable with his playboy status and the hype in the media. But the ground moves beneath his feet when he gets an eyeful of the girl next door. The Dog Whisperer never looked this good! How can he convince this wholesome honey that his player days are behind him? Maybe Jill, his Great Dane can help him with this dilemma now that she’s pregnant and Callie’s dog is to blame.
 
Is this bad boy a bad bet?

Also, I will be revealing the cover of my upcoming novel Groomed for Murder, Book #2 in the Going to the Dogs series on December 22. The book will be released in late December/early January. If you would like to help me spread the word on your blog or through any other social media, leave your name, site URL, and a contact email in your comment.  It’s not mandatory to participate in the cover reveal to win either my prizes for this hop or the grand prizes.

Here’s a placeholder image for you. 
My hero:  Drew Hudson

Groomed for Murder Blurb
Can a dog have a bad hair day?

​​Brooke Palmer owns Pawlish, an exclusive doggie spa and grooming business in upper Manhattan.  But when a client’s champion poodle gets a bad poodle cut and has to undergo therapy to recover, the client sues. The lawyer they send is drop dead gorgeous, but Brooke won’t be wooed by a corporate shark in a sharp suit.​
​
Corporate lawyer Drew Hudson has better things to do then take on this ridiculous lawsuit, but since he works for the client’s husband, he has no choice. After meeting the beautiful, sweet-tempered owner, he can’t keep his mind on the silly case.  But when the client turns up dog gone dead, Brooke may be a conflict of interest when she’s charged with the murder. All Drew wants to do is prove that this sexy entrepreneur is not dangerous, except to his heart.
Can she take a chance on him?

    Thank you K. April for taking the time to stop by my blog. I love White Christmas. My daughter insisted that we watch it a couple of years ago. I’m so glad she did. Good luck!

    One of my favorite Christmas Romance Books is The Untamable Rogue by Annette Blair! The story is about Ashford Blackburne Fifth Earl and he has to get married and get his willing bride pregnant before Christmas or his grandfather won’t let him inherit his money. Ash truly needs to inherit the money because his late father squandered it all away and he is taking care of his mother. After getting stood up at the alter, again, Ash and his friends go to the local pub where the owner plays a drunken Ash in a card game…his consolation prize is the pubs daughter Larkin, who he wants to get ride of. Ash has to learn to forgive…Larkin has to learn how to trust…can two completely different people find love together. This is a cute, extremely funny, romantic story with a surprise Christmas ending!
