She loves her boyfriend Dale, but fearing rejection, keeps her feelings buried deep. She can’t even let on how heartbroken she is when Dale begins applying for colleges thousands of miles away from her; never even whispering a word about how much she wishes he would stay close. But, when Dale is rejected from Colombia University in NYC, due to a police record that follows him wherever he goes, Nicole soon discovers that love can drive her to do things she never thought possible.
There’s more than one way to say, I love you and Nicole is about to prove to Dale that she loves him beyond all common sense.

CD Review/ Cinema by Andrea Bocelli

  • Band/Artist: Andrea Bocelli
  • Title: Cinema
  • Date: October 25th, 2015
  • Label: Verve Records

This might come to a complete surprise to you but I enjoy listening to Andrea Bocelli’s music. I was surprised that I got accepted to review his newest cd called Cinema. Cinema features a collection of movie songs etched in the culture and hearts of several generations including epic theme songs featured in films such as “Doctor Zhivago”, “Love Story”, “The Godfather”, “Life is Beautiful”, “Gladiator”, “The Postman”, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and many more, as well as popular songs from stage musicals, immortalised by their film versions, such as “West Side Story” and “Evita.”

What I love about the cd is that Andrea has recorded songs in five different languages: Italian, French, Spanish, English and Sicilian. He has also partnered with Arianna Grande and Nicole Scherzinger.

This album is beautiful and I can’t wait for it to be released on the 23rd because I think a few copies will be purchased and given out as gifts this year.

As I sit and listen to the music and write this review I have to say that one of the biggest things that surprised me was E PIU’ TI PENSO duet with Ariana Grande. I think this has to be one of my favorite songs from the cd. This song is suited for her vocally and its done so beautifully. Sends goose bumps all over as you listen to it. Who would have that someone like Ariana Grande could pull of this song?

I love how Andrea puts his own spin on some of the classic hits from the movies its the same song just done in his own magical way that makes you love that piece even more then before.

I have personally always like NO LLORES POR MÍ ARGENTINA but after hearing Nicole Scherzinger sing it I actually like the song even more now. I don’t know if she brings a modern feel to the song but there is just something that like more about this version.

I think this cd will appeal to Andrea’s fans as well as the fans of the movies.

1) MARIA from ‘West Side Story’
2) LA CHANSON DE LARA from ‘Doctor Zhivago’
3) MOON RIVER from ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’

Excerpt

“Grayson you have to stop,” I cry out as I grab onto his shoulders forcefully digging my fingers into him. Unable to stop myself, I wrap one leg around his waist, grinding my crotch against his leg to help ease the delicious ache. With the pulsating slowing down, I slow my breathing. Minutes passed, no movements, no sound came from either of us. I slowly start to come back to myself, embarrassment flowing through me. Please tell me I did not just do that.
“Holy Christ, did you come?” Grayson pulls himself away from my breast. I push my face into his chest and nod. “Fuck me…that was hot,” he breathes into my hair, holding me close in his arms.
“What?” I mumble, raising my head to look in his eyes.
“Willa,” he looks at me and runs a hand through his short hair.
“You came from me sucking and tugging on your tits, you were so turned on, so responsive so…”
“So embarrassed,” I blurt out looking in his eyes.
“Willa,” he began as I try to scramble out from underneath him “Wait, wait.” He pins me to the mattress.
“Grayson, I feel like a complete slut right now. I’ve been home for two minutes. Now here I am in your bed where I had a fricken orgasm…happy?” I’m mortified by my behavior.
“Fuck ya, I am,” he grins, pleased with himself. I fall back onto the bed and cover my face with my arm.
“Baby, look at me.” I look into his eyes.
“Grayson, please can we just not talk about it.”
“Willa, you’re not a slut, okay? We’re not strangers.” I keep my hands over my face.
“Baby, stop hiding,” he pulls my hands away.
“That was the first orgasm I’ve had that wasn’t self-inflicted,” I whisper.
“Fuck me…baby I want to see that so bad right now,” he tells me, lust burning in his eyes. I laugh.
“Grayson, please be serious I’m so embarrassed I mean…I told you that…ugh, God.” Could this get any worse?
“I’m more than serious, Willa, the last thing I want to hear is you being embarrassed. You were with idiots, but Willa, I couldn’t be happier right now. I wish I\d taken my head out of my ass sooner. You would have been in my bed a hell of a lot quicker.” What on earth does that mean?
“Are you aware how fucking sexier you got? Didn’t think that could be possible. Knowing that I’m the only one that will ever pleasure you, makes me horny as hell. I’ll be inside of you, tasting you, knowing where to touch you to get you off. Multiple times because I will make sure of it. Jesus, you sky rocketed off the fucking charts, baby and it was hot as hell.” God, his words are vocal orgasm’s, how does he do this?
“I’m sexy?” How is this happening right now, the one man I’ve fantasized for my entire young life has my panties damp. I need to tread carefully with this.
“No, Grayson, this can’t happen. I haven’t been home a day yet. I’m freaking out right now.” Was I that woman? Hopping in his bed and agreeing to be with him. Okay, okay I know he is gorgeous and yes I have loved him forever… shit I have loved him forever. I began to panic.
“Holy shit, Willa, relax, it’s happening, and it’s okay. I’ve wanted you for a long time. When I saw you at the hospital I knew it was time. Time to finally show you how good we could be together. I won’t let you analyze this, so stay out of your head. I promise you, this between us is not bad. Fast? Yes, but not bad.” He pushes me back again and laid on top of me. “God you are so cute, I love that you don’t even know how sexy you are.” Love? Did he say love?
He kisses me hard, deep. His tongue searches for mine in a searing kiss as his hands roam and grope. Our hearts pound from the contact. He feels so good, so right.
“Okay, okay we need to stop.” He sits us back up, causing me to giggle at his frustration.
“Are you hungry? I’m worried that you haven’t eaten.” He looks at me with concern.
“What’s the time?” I ask.
“Eight…you slept for three hours.”
“Gosh I have to get home,” I tell him, jumping out of his bed.
“You’re not going home,” his voice is stern.
“I have to…”
“Willa,” he pulls me close him again.
“I spent three hours curled around your luscious body, felt you, made you cum, and then I find out you haven’t been properly fucked.” I swallow hard. “All this in my bed. If you think you’re leaving, you have another think coming. You will have a nice hot shower, put on one of my shirts, and have something to eat. Lay in my bed curled into me while we both go to sleep and I’ll take you home tomorrow morning…got it?” He is like my hot bath and my black coffee, I was getting sweaty again.
“I could use a shower,” I admit.
“I thought so,” he grins.
Cocky bastard!
I am T.M. Sullivan, and I am a stay at home mom that works from home as a hairstylist, while caring for two beautiful daughters. I am married to an extremely hard-working man who has done nothing but show me support in this venture. Being an avid reader my whole life and enjoying writing when I was younger. I decide to write a story of my own, never did I expect to be in the position I am now.
I love books with a little suspense, love and a whole lot of sexy, demanding men who love hard with their whole heart. Which is why I wrote this one I wanted my men to be every day hardworking men, whether they work in construction, work as a police officer, fireman, even sensual lawyers or business-men, I love them all. My women need to be passionate and strong giving their men a run for their money.
A tiny secret that no one knows, until now: I love stories with an HEA, and cliffhangers kill me. I hate surprises. I’m not kidding; I will read the ending of the book to make sure there is an HEA and if the book is a cliffhanger, I will wait until all the books are out and read them all right after another.
I want to thank anyone who gives my work a chance. I never thought in a million years I would write an entire book on my own, let alone have anyone who chose to read it.

When 17 year old Liv Larson and her brother are sent to separate foster homes, she dedicates her every breath to getting him back. After months of solitude and anti-social behavior, her best friend Riley ropes her into a Rooftop Solar Flare Party.

What is left the group must embark on a perilous journey to save one of their own and find their families…but, something sinister awaits them in the shadows and it’s undeniably connected to Liv.

Can Liv keep her promise to reunite with her brother? What are she and her friends willing to do to survive? Will their bravery and determination be enough to save them all from a rogue government, a terrifying virus, and the things that go bump in the night…Or was Icarus, indeed, The Killshot?

Bath &Body Works Haul #1

bathandbodyworkshaul

Its been such a long time since I have done a B&BW’s haul and I thought today would be a perfect time to share what I recently bought.

The reason for  me going into B&BW’s was because they announced the 3 wick candles were on sale for $12.50 compared to $22.50. Although as I am currently writing this they seem to have a promotion on for 2 for $24.00. I kind of regret buying them in August but in all honesty I don’t know if they have these particular candles still in stock as this was part of the 2015 Limited Summer Destinations Edition.

Amsterdam Tulips & Windmills smells so beautiful and its like you just walked into a floral shop. This is the perfect spring/summer scent. There is hints of lilac, pink freesia and the site says cooling green. Its a beautiful pink colored candle. I love the picture on the jar as it shows a windmill with tulips.

New York Black Tie is not my typical scent candle and at first I mainly wanted it because it was New York and you all know how much I love New York. I love the image on the jar with the skyline, Statue of Liberty and the bridge. The scent is green sage, sandalwood and Tonka bean. I think this would be the perfect fall/winter candle with the scent and color.

London Tea & Lemon smells exactly like  an ice tea mix I have. Its got a crisp clean scent. I love the image on the jar as it shows the London skyline. I am hoping to make it to London one day.

Paris French Daydream is a pretty pale blue candle with scents of watery notes, moss and mandarin according to the site and for me I know if I smell those but it does have a nice scent that I just can’t place.

As I was looking for information on the candles I discovered that this is a limited edition line so I happy I grabbed them when I did because of the jars but it seems like they are repackaged each year. I really don’t mind because they are new to me. I will definitely have to look for this next year to see what they bring out.

I also picked up these cute Night Owl socks. They are shea infused with non skid bottoms. I personally don’t like the non skid bottoms but otherwise I love the socks and this is like my third pair of socks that I have bought over the years.

Finally the last set of items I bought are the Anti-Bacterial hand gels and they were 3 for $5. I picked up Japanese Cherry Blossom (The irresistible fragrance of seductive blossoms from an exotic Japanese garden), Vanilla Berry Sorbet (A cool blend of vanilla sorbet topped with sweet raspberries & juicy strawberries) and Warm Vanilla Sugar (A sweet indulgence of sheer florals, vanilla absolute & sandalwood). These are perfect to toss in Michael’s lunch bag for school so that I know he has used something to clean his hands with and to have in the purse.
