The MMC (main male character) in PFK, Tate Fontanna loves football and distrusts sports reporters. He plays hard and falls hard--for the wrong girl--a die-hard sports reporter. I promise you'll love the very satisfying ending to this one!
It's getting CLOSE to release day for I Want To Know What Love Is so I'm sharing my top 5 favorite things about the MMC Dylan Jones.๐

At SQ's House
I don't know where to start! The house is in disarray (see for yourself hereโโ) because we've finally started on the renovations. Yay!
Plus, my younger son got a job in Washington, D.C. so he's moving away soon and I'm excited for him because it's his dream job, but sad because I'll truly miss him, his guitar playing, his easy laugh and bright energy ๐.
In the meantime we have the SUPER BOWL ๐ today (Go Bengals--because I love rooting for the underdog) and Valentine's Day ๐๐๐tomorrow!! (I'm on team chocolate.)
Talk about a whirlwind weekend!
Also, a very fattening weekend between game-time snacks and Valentine chocolates. But somehow I'll persevere and find a way to get past my guilt and enjoy the treats.
How about you? Are you watching the Super Bowl?
And for Valentine's Day--Chocolates or Flowers--or Books?
(I'm torn between chocolates and books, but who says you have to choose?)

My Top 5 Favorite Things about Dylan Jones
- Because she's not the one, he let's Heather down gently
- He loves a woman with sass
- He's willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING, including football, for the woman he loves
- He's a certifiable hunk and a world class flirt, confident but not too full of himself
- He's not afraid to punch a guy out at a wedding (you'll have to read the book to find out more about that scene!)

Review Spotlight for He Has a Baby
"Nothing like a cute kid and her hunk of a dad...this is a hockey stud and his hot model...Will they keep it professional? Let's hope not. I am ready to be the nanny if Zoey can't pull it off. ;)"
