I usually do not publish posts that do not have to do with books. However, my family is big on sports, and when this guest post came along, I thought I would like to share this with you all. I hope you enjoy the short post!

My wife and I went to a big basketball school when we were young, and ever since, we've been avid college basketball fans. We've kept up with college basketball for the last 50 years! We've seen some amazing moments, and we've watched our home team have a few moments of glory. Basketball is a great American sport, and I love it dearly. Currently, we're getting ready for the road to the national championship game. Our team has been chosen for the tournament, thankfully. We are getting very excited, and we have been gathering around our home calendar and planning how to make the games fun and exciting. Next week, we're going to throw our own small party and ! supply lots of food, yum!
After checking out some hearingaidsreviews online, I printed out the bracket for the tournament, and I've begin to make my predictions with my wife. This is going to be a very exciting next few weeks, and we are glad to be able to experience another highly exciting year of college basketball together

Review: Desperate Thoughts: The Gift by Ian Dalton
On his deathbed, Victoria Wilde's husband David leaves her with a gift; a replica of the most intimate part of him and makes her promise to go on with her life and share her most cherished gifts with another. But even after fourteen months the young widow finds herself unable to enjoy his gift or share her own. When Victoria spots a man who could be her late husband's younger twin, she's reminded of a story David shared of him as an insecure college freshman, who was given the gift of self-confidence by a clandestine sexual encounter with a beautiful older woman, and Victoria relives the erotic experience with her Davidesque stranger. Afterward, she's re-awakened sexually and motivated to do the same for other deserving young men in a way that both honors her lost love's memory and satisfies her desperately unfulfilled desires. With each new encounter the risk grows along with the passion until events spiral out of control and she's forced to choose between continuing down a path of self-destruction or finally letting go of the past. description taken from here.
This prequel to Dalton's full length Erotica called Inappropriate Thoughts. That book will be out in the summer of 2011.
So, onward with my review!
There were a lot of sex scenes, we're talking approximately about more than half the book. But they were very well written sex scenes, and hello, this is Erotica; so if you can't handle the heat (and man is it hot!) then don't pick up the book. But I know that everyone here loves these genres or you wouldn't be reading this review.
I had tears running down my cheeks at times because I felt so sorry for Victoria and her loss. But at the same time, Brad was such an easy and gentle character to like. It was almost impossible not to cheer the guy on.
Though the ending was sad, I felt it ended right. And, besides, this was just the prequel (said to be of Victoria's background story) to the full length book Inappropriate Thoughts. While in the next installment Victoria might not be playing the staring role, she will be an important player.
As much as I would like to say more, I don't want to spoil the story for you guys, so I'll stop talking (typing) now.
At only .99 cents the book is definitely worth the time go download and read.
Heat Rating= Erotic! Watch out here comes some book porn.
Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!

Review: The Legend Of Michael by Lisa Renee Jones
He’s a Lethal Weapon…One of an army of human soldiers injected with alien DNA, Michael is a legend within this new race, split between good and evil. Untamable, he has walked on the dark side and returned to the light. Feared and misunderstood, he leaves everything behind, including the one woman destined to be his mate.
He is her Enemy… And her Destiny…
Cassandra holds the key to Michael’s power, and his pain. With loyalties divided and against insurmountable odds, Cassandra’s heart propels her to Michael’s side—but can her love do anything but destroy him…No ordinary woman can control a creature such as Michael, and only one thing is clear—the world will never be the same… taken from the back of the book.
The Legend of Michael is the first book in the Zodius series.
I thought the book started off good from the very first page. The book is a combination of sub-genres in the romance world- special ops / paranormal / and futuristic. The story kept my attention, and there was none of that "fluff". You know that inconsequential stuff they just add to "fill in" the book. The characters were well formed and like able. It was an enjoyable read that I would recommend.
2nd book in the series THE STORM THAT IS STERLING comes out November 2011
3rd book in the series THE DANGER THAT IS DAMION comes out May 2012

Review: Awaken the Highland Warrior by Anita Clenney
Faelan is from an ancient clan of Scottish Highland warriors, charged with shielding humanity from demonic forces. Betrayed and locked in a time vault, he has been sleeping for nearly two centuries when spunky historian Bree Kirkland inadvertently wakes him. She's more fearsome than the demon trying to kill him, and if he's not careful, she'll uncover the secrets his clan has bled and died to protect...
Could be the treasure she's been seeking all her life...
When Bree inherits an old treasure map, she discovers a warrior buried in her backyard. But the warrior isn't dead. Bree shocks Faelan with her modern dress and her boldness, and he infuriates Bree every time he tries to protect her.
With demons suddenly on the move, Bree discovers that Faelan's duty as protector is in his blood, and that her part in this fight was destined before she was born. But nothing is ever what it seems... description taken from here.
Anita Clenney is a debut author who did a wonderful job with this book! Awaken the Highland Warrior is the first book in the first book in the time-travel trilogy (unfortunately I do not know the name of the series though!). The second book is called Embrace the Highland Warrior and the third is Unleash the Highland Warrior.
The plot of this book is great. Personally, I love time traveling books, especially when the men come into the future. I is just so funny how they bock at almost everything and get so confused over the tiniest item, behavior or event. That said, Faelan is shocked by Bree's clothes, how she acts and the new speech of the time.
The characters are cute and likable. The romance is there with some action mixed it. Faelan is really cute in his actions, a great hero! The book is enjoyable. I really liked it.
Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!
