It’s so hard to believe that 2014 is almost over. I’ve had an awesome year with you and I hope you have also had some fun. I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2015! Here’s to lots more fun, friendship and of course, Man Candy for the New Year!
Boxing Day is not something we normally celebrate in the U.S., but a number of people have off today since Christmas fell on a Thursday. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We had a wonderful time and I did manage to get all the presents wrapped, finishing the food shopping, prepare the meal and more importantly, celebrate the holiday with family and friends.
I’ve got some photos for you from the holiday table, tree, Christmas village and our new little kitten. If you can’t see the post below, click here to visit the photo album.
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year! This is a busy time of the year so I hope you’ll excuse me a slightly erratic blog schedule until January 5 when things will calm down and be back to normal. I’m still wrapping and decorating and tomorrow is our big day to go get the Cuban specialities for the Christmas Eve dinner. Tomorrow is also the day I start cooking for all the guests that we are going to have for the holiday. I can’t wait, but for now, I want to leave you with this tasty Man Candy Santa and some photos from our annual trip to New York City to see the decorations.

WOO HOO it’s the release day for STAY THE NIGHT, #4 in the Take a Chance series.
STAY THE NIGHT is a story about Rafe Castillo, a Navy Seal who has been away at war for five years and finds himself coming home to a woman who has changed drastically since the day he married her. Rafe still loves Elena, but he’s not sure if she’s still in love with him and whether there is a place in her life any more. She’s accomplished so much and he feels as if she’s passed him by.
Today I’ve got two teasers from you! The first one is with Elena as she thinks about picking up Rafe at the airport and her worries about what it will be like between them.

In this next scene, Rafe is on his way home and remembering the very first time that he and Elena made love. Warning – this scene is for mature audiences. If you can’t read the excerpt below, click here to read this teaser from Stay the Night.

Sorry I missed you on Friday, but I’ve been having a month full of computer issues. Sigh. Luckily, I’m close to being back to 100%.
I have to confess that I find myself becoming a Patriots fan mostly because of Tom Brady. He’s handsome and more than that, he seems like a genuinely good guy with a solid work ethic. So today’s Man Candy choice is none other than future Hall of Famer Tom Brady!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Looking forward to chatting with you this week.
I remember being at the kids’ table as a kid and being so impatient about moving up to the adult table. Today’s Throwback Thursday is a look back at a kids’ table from many years back. Soon these kids’ kids will need a table of their own for Christmas Eve dinner! Very exciting.
