Seduced by a Highlander Review and Giveaway
About Seduced By A Highlander
Tristan MacGregor is famed throughout the Highlands as a silver-tonged seducer and an unrepentant rogue. Bold and charming, he’s dallied with many women, yet none as mysterious as the lass he steals a kiss from at king’s court. Little does he know this beauty is one of his clan’s greatest enemies.
Isobel Fergusson has despised the bloodthirsty MacGregors ever since they murdered her father. She’s horrified to learn that the handsome stranger she kissed is of this clan. But Tristan means to possess her at any cost and Isobel’s body turns traitor at his touch. Can a man she’s sworn to hate be the only one she can ever love?
About the Author Paula Quinn
I typed my very first novel on an Adam computer. Yes, that’s Adam, not Apple. A paranormal romance (the first one of it’s kind in the early eighties) but no one was interested, much to my shock and amazement. Will I admit it was a cheesy novel? Never! I still have it, dot matrix as black as the day it was first printed up.
Putting away my trusty Adam, I went on to bigger and better things, like marrying my childhood sweetheart and having three children. But I once read that authors don’t choose to write; writing chooses them, and there were an endless store of characters in my head to prove it. So we traded in the Adam for an Apple. I promised my husband that I wouldn’t be gone long, and off to Camelot I went. Most of me returned home, but there’s a part that remained in the medieval world of knights, castles, and chivalry. I’ve since brought my family there and they love it as much as I do, although I suspect my husband was a crusader knight long before I envisioned him in a red cross tabard. But that’s another story entirely. I think I’ll write it in pen and dot my I’s with hearts. Read More
My Review of Seduced By A Highlander
I love this series. It’s interesting, fun and really is an exciting read. You have no idea what is going to happen next in this book and I love it that way. Isobel and Tristan are a couple you just find yourself cheering for their success. I also love how this book and the last book intertwine a little it doesn’t just pick up at the end of the last book. I find that fun as then you feel like your still continuing a story and you get to see and get more details on events that happend in the last book.

Find Your New Bathroom Online
I love shopping for home decor and home improvement online, mostly because the closest home improvement store is about 40 minutes away and also because you can find such great deals online. I also like that many times you can get deals on shipping making it very worth your effort if you have to drive to a local store like me. I’ve actually saved a lot of money by just ordering online.
When it comes to home decor and improvement I think that bathroom suites are a great things to buy online as you can look at so many different types of bathroom set ups. It’s fun to shop around and figure out what may look amazing in your bathroom. I have found things like shower heads, bathtubs and heated mirrors that are just not available locally.
I also love that I can just shop right from home and you don’t have to worry about some sales person trying to sell you something you just don’t need. I know that can be really annoying when you know what you want and are just in the store to get it. Personally as long as you get your measurements right, most of the time buying online is a great way to save money and keep yourself from dealing with annoying people.

Research Before You Get Satellite
I know this may sound crazy to some of you but if you have never had satellite service you want to research a lot before committing to just one. I know for those of you who have satellite service your thinking duh and who has never had satellite before, but these people are out there!
A great way to research satellite service is to check out satellite dish reviews online. These are mostly done by customers so you really do know what you are getting yourself into when you sign that two year contract. Now I will say that you don’t always get what you think your getting, but reviews most of the time are the way to go when buying anything. People are honest when they have a good experience and spread it around when their experience is not so great. If you run into a company that has at least 50% more bad reviews then good maybe you should check out another company.
We recently got rid of our Dish network service because the picture was horrible, they kept over charging us and really there was nothing on TV to watch. After two years of dealing with them we just had enough. Now we watch most of our shows online, but we are considering switching to Direct TV.
What about you? Do you have satellite service and if so how do you like it?

My Boys is back for Season 4!!! This TBS hit comedy about a group of close friends who always make time to get together, drink beer, play their weekly poker and support each other through the ups and downs of dating, break-ups and career highs and lows.
Season 3 ended with the gang in Arizona for the Cubs spring training game. Brendan is threatened by a professional baseball player meanwhile sparks fly between Kenny and Stephanie, Mike tries his best to get a base hit off a professional pitcher and Bobby helps P.J. write her best article yet. As the group returns to Chicago, Bobby and P.J. stumble upon Kenny and Stephanie kissing…
As a new season blossoms, the friends continue to joke around, bond over beer and poker and have fun, but this time around, they also have to face the realities of life – financial issues, career decisions, and getting into serious relationships. Catch the Season 4 premiere on July 25th at 10/9 central on TBS. Grab a beer and tune in or set your DVR to watch their latest trials and tribulations. 
I watched the first season of this show and loved it. Haven’t been able to catch it since then though. May have to add it to my watch online list, wonder if it’s available?

Leverage
LEVERAGE follows the adventures of a highly skilled team out to settle scores against those who use power and wealth to victimize others. The gang is led by former insurance investigator Nate Ford (Hutton), who got involved in the con business after his former employer refused to pay for treatment that could have saved his son’s life. His highly skilled team includes Sophie Devereaux (Bellman), a grifter who uses her acting skills to corner her marks; Eliot Spencer (Kane), a “retrieval specialist” with bone-crunching fighting skills; Alec Hardison (Hodge), a gadget and technology wizard who keeps the team informed; and Parker (Riesgraf), a slightly off-center thief adept at rappelling off buildings or squeezing into tight places.
By the end of the second season, the LEVERAGE team had scammed a hedge-fund manager who happened to be in the custody of U.S. Marshals; used Eliot’s martial arts skills to corner a corrupt fight promoter; and took over a private school to recover millions of dollars lost in a Ponzi scheme. They also went head-to-head with an almost identical team of grifters to recover a painting, took down an oppressive sweatshop owner, cornered a fake psychic, freed Nate’s ex-wife from a Ukrainian jail and thwarted a gunrunning scheme by a corrupt mayor. But for Sophie, her conflicted relationship with Nate left her questioning if she wanted to continue working with the team. She took some much-needed time away, arranging for a friend and fellow grifter to take her place temporarily. But even though Sophie has now returned to the team, there are still some unresolved issues between her and Nate.
The third season of LEVERAGE opens with Nate in prison after having to make a tough choice on the most recent con. He could either allow his team to be arrested or simply give himself up to his nemesis Sterling, a former insurance investigator now working for Interpol. Nate soon discovers, however, that the prison is corrupt. The only way he can bring the crooked officials down is to get his team to help him stage his jailbreak. But that’s only the beginning of Nate’s challenges. He must also contend with a shadowy intelligence agent known only as “The Italian,” played by actress and model Elisabetta Canalis, who blackmails him into helping bring down a financier. Between “The Italian” trying to control Nate and Nate trying to hold both his crew and his personal life together, it’s looking to be a challenging and twisted summer for the LEVERAGE team.
Now I will be honest. I have not watched this show yet, usually I don’t have tv access on Sunday nights so even when I had TNT I wouldn’t have been able to watch it, but I think this sounds like a great show and I will have to play catch up on the TNT website.

Hawthorne
The doors of Richmond Trinity have closed… permanently. That’s the dramatic reality that opens the second season of TNT’s powerful medical drama, HAWTHORNE. This June, the hit series returns with star and executive producer Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix trilogy) as Christina Hawthorne, a Chief Nursing Officer ready for battle on the front lines of a war against declining patient services and hospital budget cuts.
HAWTHORNE is told from the point of view of nurses as they struggle against the odds to deliver the best care possible. The series also stars Michael Vartan (Alias) as Dr. Tom Wakefield, Richmond Trinity’s Chief of Surgery who helped Christina’s husband during the last stages of his cancer; Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees) as Bobbie Jackson, a fellow nurse and one of Christina’s best friends; David Julian Hirsh (Lovebites) as Ray Stein, a nurse struggling with being accepted in a female-dominated profession; Christina Moore (90210) as Candy Sullivan, a nurse with a patriotic sense of duty; Vanessa Lengies (American Dreams) as Kelly Epson, who continues to find her footing as a nurse; and Hannah Hodson (TNT’s The Ron Clark Story) as Christina’s daughter Camille.
As the second season of HAWTHORNE opens, several Richmond Trinity doctors and nurses have been transferred to James River, a failing hospital in terrible shape. There, Christina butts heads with the ER’s head nurse, Gail Strummer (Vanessa Bell Calloway – The District), who is extremely set in her ways. Christina is impressed, however, by the charming Dr. Steve Shaw (Adam Rayner – Mistresses), who hails from England, and the hard-working ER clerk Marcus Leeds (Collins Curtis Pennie – Half Nelson), who has his eye on Camille.
This season, Christina and Tom will try to forge a romantic relationship, especially now that he is no longer serving as Chief of Surgery and can devote more time to patient care and a private life. Bobbie will once again find herself helping out homeless mother Isabelle. Ray’s lust-hate relationship with Dr. Marshall will hit some snags over Ray’s continued feelings toward Candy, who is serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Kelly’s confidence as a nurse will slowly build, thanks in part to her work with a nurse (guest star Sarah Gilbert – Roseanne) who’s even more insecure. And Camille takes a step toward adulthood that her mother isn’t sure she’s prepared to take.
Created by Emmy winner John Masius (St. Elsewhere, Providence, Dead Like Me), HAWTHORNE comes to TNT from Sony Pictures Television in association with Pinkett Smith’s 100% Womon Productions, John Masius Productions and Jamie Tarses’ FanFare Productions. HAWTHORNE is executive-produced by Pinkett Smith; Masius; Glen Mazzara (The Shield, Crash, Life); and Jamie Tarses (My Boys).

Memphis Beat: Turner Giveaway Week

If you love TNT as much as I do you are going to love this weeks giveaways, yes giveaways.

If your new to TNT and the shows the offer check back every day till Friday to learn more about this great lineup.
Memphis Beat
Memphis Beat centers on Dwight Hendricks (Jason Lee), a quirky Memphis police detective with an intimate connection to the city, a passion for blues music and a close relationship with his mother. He is “the keeper of Memphis,” a Southern gentleman who is protective of his fellow citizens, reverential of the city’s history and deeply rooted in its blues music scene. Despite his impeccable instincts as a detective, Dwight’s loose, relaxed style of police work rubs his demanding new boss, Lt. Tanya Rice (Alfre Woodard), the wrong way. But Dwight may eventually win her over to a Memphis state of mind, especially when he takes the stage at his favorite hangout to perform a legendary song or two.
MEMPHIS BEAT co-stars DJ Qualls as Davey Sutton, a uniform cop who considers himself to be Dwight’s protege. Also starring are Celia Weston (Junebug) as Dwight’s effervescent mother; Sam Hennings (Saving Grace) as Charlie White, aka Whitehead, Dwight’s seasoned, hypertensive partner; Leonard Earl Howze (Barbershop) as Reginald Greenback, a fellow detective struggling to make ends meet with two teenage daughters; and Abraham Benrubi (ER) as Sgt. JC Lightfoot, an officer who uses Chickasaw tribal wisdom in his police work.
MEMPHIS BEAT was created by Liz W. Garcia (Cold Case) and Joshua Harto (The Dark Knight), who also wrote the first two episodes. Harto, who grew up in the South and has spent a lot of time with his country-musician grandfather, sees the show’s setting as a chance to spotlight one of America’s great cities. “Memphis has been largely forgotten in film and TV today,” he says. “It’s where the blues and Johnny Cash and Elvis came from. It’s where Martin Luther King was assassinated and where Isaac Hayes and Aretha Franklin were born and raised. It’s the perfect blend of drama and humor for our show.” Music is just as vital to
MEMPHIS BEAT as its unique characters, drama and humor is the music. “Music is a huge part of this show,” Garcia says. “It has to be. You can’t live in Memphis and not have your life steeped in music. The city has a soundtrack.” To get that perfect Memphis feel, the production team approached noted blues singer/songwriter Keb’ Mo’. He will provide original compositions and performances for the show to supplement classic Memphis tracks. 
MEMPHIS BEAT is executive-produced by Clooney, Heslov, Garcia, Harto, John Fortenberry (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Scott Kaufer (Boston Legal). Sean Whitesell (House M.D.) and Smokehouse Pictures’ Abby Wolf-Weiss are co-executive producers. The pilot was directed and executive-produced by Emmy nominee Clark Johnson (The Shield). Harto and Garcia are a husband-and-wife team. Harto is also an actor.

Video Conferencing for Your Business
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.
faceVsion offers true HD streaming webcams, many other HD cameras do not actually stream in HD, they just can’t do it, but faceVsion can and that can make all of the difference in your business. If you can not show your product in the right light to tempt the buyer you may lose the sale, for example you sell jewelry and are looking to sell in China, you send pictures that look amazing, but they want to see how it’s worn or how a clasp works. If you use a normal webcam to show them they may not be able to see what you are doing, or at least not see it well. With an faceVsion HD webcam you know your going to get a great picture so that they can see what they want to and of course your more likely to get the sale.
Check out faceVision on line store to see what they have available that would work for your business, don’t have a business? Check out the store anyway, they carry great webcams for everyday use also.
