Teaser Tuesday ~ Never Say Never




Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Reeling Radar in, I reached for his collar, but just as my fingers touched it, his quarry bolted from under the porch, ran past us, and scampered up a tree. Radar hung a U-turn, spun me like a jewelry box ballerina, and I ended up on the ground doing the splits with the leash wrapped around my ankle. In the house, more lights came on.

p. 161, Never Say Never by Lisa Wingate

A Kiss for Cade by Lori Copeland

Oh, I loved this book. I don't know that I've ever read any of Lori Copeland's books. I've seen them and thought they'd be wonderful books, so I jumped at the chance to review this book.
Copeland has given this book some humor in places. Your laughing in one spot and serious in others.
There are many characters you meet and love.
Of course you have Zoe and Cade the main characters
Zoe a feisty, spitfire, red-head, widow-at times even a bit of a wild cat, ready to claw anyone that hurts Addy's, her friend, four children. She can be proud and determined at times. Will she let Cade Kolby waltz back into her life after leaving 15 years ago promising to return for her?
Cade a handsome, lean bounty hunter. He's an unforgettable man with with his midnight blue eyes and a heart of gold, helping those in need. He has a way of being persuasive. Been gone from Winterborn 15 years, but still has an effect on Zoe as he waltz back into the town summed by his now deceased sister, Addy. Would he be able to gain Zoe's trust again?
Aunt Laticia Wiseman an old, domineering, hard headed, eccentric-but not senile woman. She likes to let her cane talk-when Aunt Laticia's waves her cane everyone listens.
You'll love Abraham, Laticia's driver and Little Missy will worm her way into your heart with her toothless lisp.
Only disappointment I had was there were curse words used though out the book. I have a policy that if there are more than three curse words I must let my readers know they are in the book, so I must hold to this. I give this book two thumbs up and I can't wait for book 2.




When Cade Kolby rode his horse out of town hot on the trail of a wanted man, he didn't wonder how he would leave the bounty hunter lifestyle behind.

Now the deaths of his sister and brother-in-law prompt a return visit and Cade once again sees Zoe, the fiery redhead he left so many years ago. He promised Zoe he'd come back. Seeing the beauty that has grown both inside and out, watching her love the children his sister left behind, Cade wonders anew why he never did return. Yet a bounty hunter cannot form the kind of ties he now desires. Wanted men will only see his loved ones as pawns to hurt Cade.

So Cade must walk away again, this time from both the woman he loves and his sister's children. There's no other way. Or is there?

The Rules of Chocolate

THE RULES OF CHOCOLATE

~ If you've got
melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

~ Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all
count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

~ The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot
car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

~
Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

~ A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories
in one place. Isn't that handy?

~ If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer.


~ But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?


~ If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge.
Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

~ If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and
white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?


~ Money talks. Chocolate sings.


~ Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.


~ Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A. Because no one wants to quit.


~ Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.
