#ManCandyMonday Rufus Sewell

Rufus first caught my eye in A KNIGHT’S TALE, even if he was playing the bad guy. He seems to do that a lot actually. He’s been in my brain lately because I’ve been watching THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE while I’m on the treadmill. This series is an Amazon original and truly fascinating. The story is based on a novel by Philip K. Dick and it’s an alternate history within an alternate history. Very interesting.

Hope you enjoyed today’s Man Candy Choice.

#ThrowbackThursday My Cat Slate

Sorry to have missed you yesterday, but there were all kinds of train problems and it was tough for me to connect to post.

Today’s Throwback is for my little cat Slate. He is such a character! I have never known a cat just like him. He’s very affectionate, especially with my hubby. He loves to hug. He’ll hug your arm or his mom and siblings (who are feral cats that we feed and take care of). With his extra toes, you definitely know he’s hugging you!

He listens like a dog so when hubby says, “Come on, Slate,” he follows. He loves to sleep on hubby’s lap and at night, he’ll sleep at the foot of the bed. The other night, he hugged my foot for a good while before I had to move.

So without further ado . . . Slate.

#TuesdayTip Eating Fat to Lose Fat #Fitness #Health

I hit another milestone today – 40 pounds lost. It took me a long time between the holidays (no pounds gained luckily) and the dreaded plateau.

Anyone who has tried to lose weight has hit a plateau and sometimes they are tough to break through. I tried lowering and raising my calorie counts. Exercising more. Even exercising a little less. Those stubborn 3 or so pounds just would not leave me.

I spoke to my trainer and we talked about my diet and it turned out that in my quest to eat healthier I had seriously eliminated fat from my diet. Both good and bad fats. He said to me, “You need to eat fat to lose fat.”

As you can imagine, I was surprised, but I took his words to heart because he has really helped me improve my overall health and fitness.

So I added back some healthy fats. Avocado. Nuts. Low fat dairy. Coconut oil. Olive oil. Eggs.

What happened? Well, those stubborn pounds disappeared in just a few days. WOO HOO.

So today’s Tuesday Tip is: Eat more healthy fats.

If you want more information on this concept and healthy fats, you can visit these links:

Just a last word of warning: Watch out for foods that claim to be low fat, but just seem too good to be true. Oftentimes there is a lot of added sugar and salt or artificial ingredients to make up for the “lower fat.”

#ManCandyMonday Leap Year & Matthew Goode

Leap_year_posterSo it’s a very special day since it only comes around every 4 years and there are some weird customs associated with this Leap Day.

One of these customs comes from Ireland where supposedly St. Brigid struck a bargain with St. Patrick to allow women to propose to men every four years.

Today’s Man Candy choice is related to that custom in that he starred in LEAP YEAR, a movie about a woman who goes to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend but finds a very different love along the way. The love interest is Matthew Goode, who is actually English, but we’ll not quibble about that since he’s such a cutie.

If you haven’t seen the movie, treat yourself today to it on this Leap Year Day!

Matthew also appeared in CHASING LIBERTY, another fun movie about unexpected love.

If you cannot see the trailer below, click here to see the Official Leap Year trailer.

#FunFriday SUMMER HEAT #Romance #Boxset #99cents

I love working with fellow authors on new projects. My next endeavor is the SUMMER HEAT Contemporary Romance Box Set which features 16 sexy stories from 16 bestselling authors. My story is titled UNDER THE BOARDWALK and it’s about a husband and wife who are trying to rekindle the passion they once shared in order to save their marriage. Here’s the blurb for it!

    Natalie Ramirez has spent less and less time with her husband over the last year and more and more time alone. She longs for the happy days of summer when she and Chase would pass the time together on the beach and under the boardwalk, exploring the passion that simmered between them as hot as any summer sun.

    Chase Smith had to work hard for everything he ever had, including his wife Natalie. His wife had never wanted for anything in her life and Chase didn’t want to disappoint her. But somewhere along the way, Chase lost sight of the most important thing she wanted: his love.

    A passionate night under the boardwalk brought them together, but can Chase and Natalie rekindle that lost love and save their marriage?

I have to tell you this is one sexy story – hotter than a ghost pepper – five alarm hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! LOL! I hope you’ll enjoy it.

The SUMMER HEAT Box Set is specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time and is now available at Amazon. I’ll have more info for you shortly on availability at the other retailers.

If you’re free on March 9, join us on Facebook for our release party where we’ll be giving away a Kindle Fire in addition to the prizes. I’ll also have something going on at the blog as a giveaway for those of you who don’t do Facebook!

#ManCandyMonday Loving the Lifeguards & Surfers

Who hasn’t worshipped those wonderful sun-tanned bodies from afar? I remember many a day at the beach, sneaking a peek at them and thinking about just how cute they were and buff. Most were so buff. Sun-streaked hair. Sigh.

Of course, the beach also had the sexy surfers like Zack from EMBRACE THE NIGHT (free on Kindle Unlimited). I can picture Zack as a lifeguard on the beach also, can’t you?

If you haven’t read EMBRACE THE NIGHT yet, it’s in the HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO box set (free on Kindle Unlimited) and the TAKE A CHANCE Volume 2 box set!
