********THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED*******
Every day from today until January 4th, 2010, (except for December 24th and 25th), I’ll be giving away one of Lauren Dane’s fabulous novels. In turn, she will be giving one of mine away. Head on over to her blog to see which one.
COMING UNDONE: Brody Brown has always been responsible for others. After his parents’ death, he gave up a promising artistic career to care for his younger brother and sister. Now, with his siblings grown, Brody owns his own business, has a nice house, makes a nice living, and for the first time in years he’s on his own.
Elise Sorenson has come to Seattle with her young daughter to find peace. After years as a world-famous ballerina—(and just as many years in a marriage-gone-bad)—she’s looking for neither love nor attention. But she finds both in the handsome, honest man who befriends her with no strings attached.
More than friends, Brody and Elise discover in each other what they need—wild, physical passion without commitment. But it’ll take a shadow from Elise’s past to make them look beyond what they need—to what they truly desire.

by Cathi December 26th, 2009 at 6:51 amI am looking forward to going on vacation to meet my new great niece and nephew. I haven’t been able to go anywhere for over 3 years. So I can’t wait!
by Annmarie Taylor December 26th, 2009 at 6:56 am:lol:New Year’s Eve…nothing spectacular…just a time I spend with my kids. We all choose a series of movies we want to watch like (Star Wars, Harry Potter…or a theme like super heroes, etc.) and then we sit down to watch them while eating a ton of snacks I have prepared. At midnight we turn on the Times Square show and watch the ball come down while toasting each other with sparkling grape juice.
It is a quiet time at home…but tons of fun.
by Kara December 26th, 2009 at 7:09 amNew Year’s Eve – I’ll be spending it at home with my 2 gtown daughters, my husband, my son-in-law, and my new baby grandaughter!
