Waiting For Him

5⭐️4🌶
I finished listening to Waiting for Him by Samantha Cole.  I loved this one!  I thought the spice and thriller plot lines were much more balanced.  They were interwoven in this book and the switch back and forth was seamless and logical to the overall plot.  Kat quite literally comes back from the dead.  She and her family had been involved in a car accident 12 years prior to the beginning of the book.  Ben "Boomer" thought her entire family had died.  What in fact happened is her mother and brother had died in the accident, but she and her father had lived.  That accident was actually a hit by the Russian mob her father had gotten himself involved with.  Her and her father were put in witness protection and they had been living on the west coast under assumed names.  Kat's father had passed away a few months ago.  When her apartment was broken into and she thought she was being followed she turned to the only person she could trust to protect her; Ben.  They were childhood sweethearts and neither of them had gotten over eachother.  Kat was even still a virgin.  Ben introduces her to the lifestyle, very slowly and carefully.  We get more characterization of Jake in this book and Ben's family.  His father Rick, also a retired Seal, played a role in the second book.  Also Carter is a little more prominent in this book as well.  I thought I couldn't love him any more than I already do, but I was proved wrong near the end of the book.  He's a great character with an amazing sense of humor.  This has been my favorite of the series so far.  They are very much growing on me and I didn't find this one as campy as the first two.  It seems the author cut back a little bit on the particularly icky words, or I just didn't notice.  I've already purchased the next three in the series.  I'm really enjoying these.

YOP: Week 30

      I didn't have a very eventful crafting week.  My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo.  I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter.  It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off.  I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks.       My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown.  I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good."  My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden.  We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds.  Well, the joke was on me.  The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 29

    The fair was a success.  My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well.  We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over.  We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed.  Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay.  They did not place.  She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings.  A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm.  The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second.   The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done.  There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition.  I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second.  Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

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...
