Book Blurb:

It’s the quiet ones that take you by surprise.

Beth Danube’s emotionally abusive husband is dead and buried. So is her heart. It’s no big deal, she has all she wants: her three little boys and a fresh start in a small Alberta town. What she doesn’t want is another man in her life—not now, maybe not ever.

Q&A with Robyn Carr + Giveaway

Robyn Carr

Please join us in giving a warm BLI welcome to #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Robyn Carr! Robyn is known for her wildly popular Virgin River Series and Hidden Summit, the 17th novel in the series hit the stands on December 27, 2011!

After more than 20 years penning screenplays, historical romances and even a psychological thriller, Robyn found her genre — some would say her calling — writing a particular kind of women’s fiction. Virgin River is a small town (pop. 600) of retired marines and the independent women they love and against a backdrop of northern California redwoods, the series is inspiration for those who, like Robyn, believe in the power of healthy, positive relationships.

Robyn is taking time out of her busy schedule to share a few Questions and Answers with us today & a giveaway opportunity follows the post!

Happy New Year! Goodbye Bookies – Hello Star Review Ratings!

Happy New Year Everyone!

After careful consideration and discussion (not really – LOL) we have decided to discontinue using “Bookies” as our tool for rating reviews and adopt the more traditional “Stars”. Except our Stars are red because, well, we like red! 🙂

As you can see from the legend in the BLI Sidebar, our rating system hasn’t changed:

5 Stars: Perfect! I Love It!

4 Stars: Awesome Book!

3 Stars: I Liked It!

2 Stars: Not bad, but maybe not for me.

1 Star: Didn’t like it! Did Not Finish it.

We will use the 1/2 star rating to further define our opinion/enjoyment of the book. 🙂

New Year, New Platform, New Look and New Stars! Yay!
