Today’s book…
One woman who’s sworn never to love again.
Two men who can’t help but desire her.
And the magic and passion that binds them together…
Haunted by a traumatic attack when she was eighteen, Lilya Orensdaughter has become a courtesan in the Temple of Dreams, determined to never again lose control. But she will do anything for Byron Andropov, the man who nursed her back to health all those years ago—and who now wants her to help his friend Alek Chaikoveii come to terms with the powerful magick he possesses.
In Alek, Lilya finds a kindred spirit. The attraction between them is immediate, and soon Lilya surrenders to nights of unimaginable ecstasy. But she can’t forget Byron, who’s concealed his feelings for Lilya because he believed she would never love again. As tensions escalate between the two men who are vying for Lilya’s heart, Lilya finds herself torn between her desire for the man who saved her, and the man whose soul resembles her own—only to discover that in the world of unrestrained passion there are no boundaries. If only you’re willing to give up control…

by Christy January 26th, 2012 at 6:33 amI saw Cars 2 with my 5 year son. I enjoyed spending time with him so it was a great time. That day my hubby took my 10 year old to see Planet of the apes & he said that was his favorite.—Rachel

by Savannah Miller January 26th, 2012 at 7:52 ambrandon_savannah@yahoo.com
Crazy, Stupid Love! I just loved that movie! Steve Carell is very funny and Ryan Gosling…need I say more? Great funny, romantic movie with a good ending. It can be an awesome movie but if the end is incomplete in some way, then that ruins the entire movie! You know what I mean?
by Cheryl S. January 26th, 2012 at 8:01 amBreaking Dawn ♥
by MaDonna Lemmen January 26th, 2012 at 8:13 amSherlock Holmes 2 but I may have been scarred for life seeing Robert Downy Jr. in drag. Thor had great eye candy.
by Donna January 26th, 2012 at 8:25 amwell i only went to see one movie and that was the last and final harry potter which of course was great took the kids and everything
by melissa cahall January 26th, 2012 at 8:27 amI don’t really watch a lot of movies but I did catch up on TV shows. Dr. Who is my newest addiction, but Firefly was my favorite.
by Kate M January 26th, 2012 at 8:28 amI loved the last Harry Potter. On the other end of the spectrum I really enjoyed The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
by StacieD January 26th, 2012 at 8:36 amI think the only movie I saw in a theater last year was Kung Fu Panda 2, and I loved it mainly because it was something our family enjoyed together–it was a hoot! (And really, kung fu fighting animals? Hee! ;p)
by Fedora January 26th, 2012 at 9:21 amHarry Potter is the most notable movie for me.
by Kristina Ebert January 26th, 2012 at 9:27 amI loved The Help. Even my husband enjoyed it. With characters that could make your stomach turn and those that you laughed with and felt their pain. It was a great cast.
by carla c January 26th, 2012 at 9:52 amI don’t think that I really got see any new movies last year, although I think one of my favorites that I’ve watched repeatedly and still love to this day is Despicable Me.
I saw that with my family a week or so after it came out in theaters and we all loved it! It was a really sweet family movie.

by Cheryl McInnis January 26th, 2012 at 10:22 amI enjoyed the super hero movies last year, but I did not really LOVE them. Out of the movies I saw last year, nothing truly stood out for me…

by Cory W. January 26th, 2012 at 10:52 amCaptain America was just awesome in general.
Thor has some fantastic eye candy.
And I just like Harry Potter. Books and movies.
Hmm, don’t think I saw any movies in theater last year. But as for new to me, I was introduced to Firefly and Serenity, and those are definitely top picks now.
by Ley January 26th, 2012 at 11:24 amNever watch films in the Cinema but wait for them to come out on DVD or on TV.
Best one I remember from last year that I watched on TV was The Green Hornet. I loved it.

by Devon January 26th, 2012 at 4:14 pmOne I was really looking forward to coming out was the last Harry Potter – though the movie wasnt as good as the book, it was still a good end to the series.
I didn’t get to see many movies, but I did see Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows. It was great. I enjoyed the books and I enjoyed all the movies as well. 🙂
by Gail S January 26th, 2012 at 5:51 pmI loved Bridesmaids.

by Michelle K January 26th, 2012 at 8:02 pmI absolutely loved “The Help”, I think it was the best movie I’d seen in a long time. I got angry, laughed and felt joy during many of the scenes. I love movies where women get to bond and the characters in that movie really did bond – the characters who didn’t deserved what happened to them and more!
Thanks for the giveaway!
by Junegirl63 January 26th, 2012 at 8:47 pmI LOVED 50/50!!!!! Great balance between humor and drama. A spot-on portrayal of male friendship as well as some surprisingly good acting from Seth Rogan.
by Joder January 26th, 2012 at 9:01 pmHmmm, I have to try and remember, and that’s pretty hard to do. LOL…
by Julianne January 26th, 2012 at 9:03 pmCaptain America was pretty good.

by Susan January 26th, 2012 at 11:01 pmI loved Horrible Bosses! I laughed and laughed all through the movie, it was fantastic.
by Renee January 26th, 2012 at 11:18 pmI liked Super 8 and Harry Potter wrapped a great run of movies.
by Lindsey E January 26th, 2012 at 11:29 pmOh that’s an easy one… Breaking Dawn: part 1
