When my mother read my first collection of humorous true stories, LOST IN THE HIVE (PublishingWorks), she said simply, “I wouldn’t recommend it to any of MY friends”. I took this as the highest form of compliment.

Among the highlights are personal accounts of nightmarish experiences with pets, “roughing it” with a four-star-hotel wife and learning to loving oneself (in every way). Regarding the latter story, one reader wrote, “I thought it was going to cause a massive hemorrhage in my brain pan. My entire family came downstairs at 2am to ask what the hell was so funny. I'm no longer allowed to read Lost in the Hive after 10pm. Thanks, jackass. ”

Even though the joys and stresses of love, marriage and parenting pervade the stories, this one’s not for the faint of heart, nor is it for young readers.

If you are a book reviewer/blogger interested in taking a look at a PDF of LOST IN THE HIVE, please introduce yourself at omara_croft@yahoo.com. Tell me a little about yourself, and about your blog.

If you’d like a taste of my shorter humor, please visit my blog at http://lostinthehive.blogspot.com (if you like what you see, please “follow” the blog) or search for me on Facebook (Brian O’Mara-Croft, Author). For an example of a guest post, please see my visit to the Cajun Book Lady. I hope to meet many of you; thanks for your interest.

Cheers,
Brian

The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis and GIVEAWAY

A Lucky Harbor Novel

Book Two
Grand Central
April 2011

ISBN 978-0446571623

Received Book from publisher for review.

"Tara has a thousand good reasons not to return to the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington. Yet with her life doing a major crash-and-burn, anywhere away from her unfulfilled dreams will do. As Tara helps her two sisters get their newly-renovated inn up and running, she finally has a chance to get things under control and come up with a new plan for her life.

But sexy Ford Walker has his own ideas, such as keeping Tara hot, bothered . . . and in his bed. And when her ex wants Tara back, three is a crowd she can’t control—especially when her deepest secret reappears out of the blue. Now Tara must confront her past and discover what she really wants. If she’s lucky, she might just find that everything her heart desires is right here in Lucky Harbor."

Review:

Tara Daniels has finally settled into Lucky Harbor six months after returning. Even though she was thrown into meeting her other two sisters, they are determined to make this Bed & Breakfast work where they can live and and work together. Ford Walker made a career being a winning Sailor. Has has the talent to take on anything he wishes, but he wants to stay in Lucky Harbor. The heat between him and Tara is still very much alive as it was 17 years ago. Convincing Tara wont be a walk in the park and is much easier said than done.

When Tara’s ex-husband shows up in town claiming he wants her back, she no longer has one man trying to win her heart back but two. Can true love conquer all? .

In the first book, Simply Irresistible, I wasn't a big fan of Tara, but towards the end I was hooked. She had a past that she was still hiding. Tara is a difficult character to like because she can be bossy, controlling, a tad pushy and wants everything to be in order. Ford is messy and tends to embrace the day for what it is. Total opposites attract, right?!

Oh yes, I enjoyed Ford very much. This green eyed sailor will grab you hook, line, and sinker. Actually, I mostly enjoyed their team work in trying to solve some past and present issues with their lives. They had to learn to trust each other and realized that they both bring something special to each other.

I absolutely loved this book. Jill Shalvis brings an entertaining spin to Lucky Harbor. I have never laughed and cried so much in a book before. Ford will having you swooning and sighing all over the place. You get a chance to feel what Tara and Ford are feeling from the moment you open the book. Not only do you wonder what will happen in the long run, but a surprise is thrown in that will keep you flipping the pages faster to get to the outcome.To be honest, I still haven't had enough of Ford and Tara.

One thing I know for sure, Jill Shalvis never disappoints. She brings you a hot, sweet, fun, and romantic story. I really don't think it gets any better then this. Shalvis is simply irresistible and original. All in all, I really enjoyed this book and the ending left the biggest smile on my face. I truly hope it will leave one on yours as well.
