Book Tour and Giveaway Spotlight-A Hint of Wicked by Jennifer Haymore

The last time I enjoyed reading a hot, steamy, historical romance was when I was pregnant with my boys, which was practically the entire decade of the 80's.
(No, I wasn't preggers for 10 years-I just had my four kids real close together):-)

Some women craved ice cream-I craved swash-buckling, bodice-ripping adventures of wild days of yore. It had to have been hormonal, because once all those babies were crawling and toddling around, I switched to slightly more cerebral fare and broadened my horizons a bit.(God, that sounds so hoity-toity and pretentious-lol)

However,:-D

There's a book out now that is currently on tour around the Blogosphere, that is getting rave reviews, and I've added it to my "must read" list for this summer.
It's called "A Hint of Wicked" by Jennifer Haymore.
And from what I've gathered from the reviews I've read, this one is going to sizzle.

Now I mentioned the blog tour-well many of these lovely blogs are not only reviewing this book-they are having giveaways for it as well!
You can bet that I am entering to win a copy.

Now some of you may be thinking "Why doesn't she just go buy a copy"?
And to that I reply "Because it is more fun when you win it Baby"!

Now check out these links below for all the different sites that you can put your entries in. Take note of the dates because they don't all start at the same time.
Have fun!

Who Knew?

Snippet of conversation today between my mother-inlaw age 87 and her baby sister age 82.

Mum:"Gawd Helen,did you watch the movie the other night with What's his name in it"?

Aunty:"No, I went to bingo-why what happened"?

Mum:"Well I don't know". "I got distracted by those damn Extend commercials they kept showing every five minutes".

Aunty: "Oh Extends-thank God I don't need to wear those yet".

Mum:"Oh Helen, not Depends-Extends-you know the pills"?

Aunty:"Pills"?"I take enough pills already"."What are they for"?

Mum: "They're for the men"."You know".

Aunty:"For the men"?"What pill for the men?"

Mum:(exasperated)"Oh for Gawd Sake's Helen, you know for the men down there".

Aunty:(perplexed)"The men down where"?

Mum:"Oh for Christ's Sake-"Down there" Their things Helen, their things"!(rolls her eyes)
"They take the pills to make their things get longer".

Aunty:(amazed) "They have pills for that"?

I came home from work tonight to a very sweet message that I have received my very
first Blog Award from Bingo at Bookin With Bingo

Well actually I've wanted to do a post on this subject for a while now, because if I am reading something and it's making me smile-well heck-I think everyone should know about it.
So without further ado, I hereby bestow this Attitude & Gratitude Award
