Wedding planner Ivy Rhodes is the best in the business, and she’s not about to let a personal problem stop her from getting ahead. So when she’s asked to star in the reality TV show Planning for Love, it doesn’t matter that the show’s videographer happens to be a recent—and heartbreaking—one-night stand.
Bennett Westcott admits he didn’t handle his encounter with Ivy very well. But looking at her beautiful smile—and great body—through a camera lens every day? He can’t be faulted for suggesting they have some …

The Lakeside Winner Post
Hey Everyone!
Summer is raging with such hot weather as 36-40 C here, so for this weekend we decided with the family to go to the lake and spend the hot sunny days hiking in the shades and chilling at the lakeside (well chilly is relative since the lake was about 28 C). Since there were family friends and kids I couldn’t read much, but we had a great time soaking up the sun, tasting wines and talking the nights away. 😀
So let me tell you who won this time! This week congratulations are in order to

Bookish Rants or Raves: Here Be Dragons + giveaway
Warning: I devour any and all books, movies, or shows that feature dragons. I’ve exhaustively researched dragon mythology. I refused to play Magic: the Gathering in 9th grade because they wouldn’t give me any dragon cards. Also, I’m an attorney. Taken together this means that I have opinions about dragons in popular culture.
So, without further ado, I present…
The Five Dragon Books You Should Have Read Already!*
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Poor Smaug, napping on his hoard of unparalleled treasure, minding his own business, literally embedding his flesh with diamonds to render him impervious to weapons – you know living out the dream of the 1% – when some pint-sized moron gets conned into stealing from him.

Thieves! Fire! Murder! Such a thing had not happened since he first came to the Mountain! His rage passes description – the sort …
