Accidentally in Motion

5⭐️3🌶

I finished the ARC of Accidentally in Motion yesterday. This one was amazing! I think it's my favorite of Aeva Vox's so far. The premise was a little outlandish but the execution was excellent. The FMC, Whitney, is living in a beautiful Victorian house owned by her uncle. She will inherit this house under certain conditions. The primary one being she needs to marry. She's been against marriage for years because her parents went through a very volatile divorce when she was a child. The book opens with Whitney and her friends in Vegas on a long awaited girls trip. The MMC Josh is a tennis player. They stumble upon eachother in the hotel lobby and hit it off right away. Whitney's friends come up with the crazy plan of Whitney and Josh getting fake married to fulfill Uncle Peter's house contract so Whitney can keep her house. It is Vegas after all. Josh has connections because his own father is a serial filanderer, he's on his 7th marriage and has had quite a few weddings in Vegas. A whirlwind day happens where Whitney, Josh and the friend group go from stop to stop getting everything needed for a believable Vegas wedding. Whitney and Josh get to know eachother a little. The chemistry between these two is palpable and the spice is very spicy and early too. I really enjoyed the journey this book took me on. It was hot and then was sweet. I read it so quickly I didn't even highlight that much. I usually highlight a lot, especially when I'm reading ARCs. My only criticism of this book was that it was too short. I would have liked more time with these characters. It was a pleasant departure from the last book I read which was way too long and didn't blow my skirt up. The book releases on Tuesday the 19th, go check it out if you like quick spicy romances that have a happily ever after.

I've been approved for two more ARCs and I've discovered both of them are book two in a series, so now I have four more books to read. I need to research more before I sign up for these things. I've been looking into apps to keep better track of these ARCs. I'll update once I pick one.

YOP: Week 36

I didn't get any crafting done this week. I did receive my swap package from the My Favorite Things swap. Here's what I received: An ample stack of fabric squares. Most are knitting related, the rest coordinate well. A book that looks interesting, The Vampire Knitting Club, one of my favorite candies, a skein of Alpaca yarn in a glorious color and cat chair feet. My daughter commandeered a couple of them already. I'm going to put a set on the clothes chair in the bedroom. All in all it was a fun swap. I also signed up for the Halloween Mini and got my partner assignment. I've got some ideas brewing for that one. Since my knitting mojo still hasn't returned despite the change in weather, I picked up a book (kindle) series instead. About two years ago I read an excellent science fiction romance; The Viridian Priestess. I know I talked about it. It was my favorite boo...

YOP: Week 34

I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap. I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown. I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time. They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection. They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much. I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee. I really wasn't expecting to find what I did. I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart. The Walmart fabric was acceptable. Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them. I finished the handknit earlier today. I want to steam block it yet, ...

YOP: Week 35

Not much to report this week. I didn't do much crafting. I finished the swap, got it packaged up and mailed out. It should have arrived to my recipient yesterday. I'll share what I made. The theme was Favorite Things. She likes the colors pale yellow and deep dark red and dragons, so I went all out with the dragons. I chose Dragon Scale Mitts for the handmade item. I used Madeline Tosh Sport in the Tart colorway. My camera doesn't really do this colorway justice. It has more depth in real life. I think they came out nicely though. I was able to find dragon fabric at The Quilt Shop. I made a reversible project bag. I paired each dragon fabric with one of her favorite colors. Liara really liked the dragon fabric as well. I'm probably going to get some more when I go again. I also sent some stationary items and a bunch of Swedish Fish, which were also things she had req...
