Sorry, I have not been around. The last month of school has been insane. I had my spring program and it went very well. The kids all did a great job, I was so proud of them. But school is out this week!!!! I am so ready for this year to be over. But GREAT news, my job is okay for next year. I am very relieved about that. I have another teacher in my same discipline next year. We started out with two of us at the beginning of the year but the other one got cut and I ended up with double classes. I had a para to help, but it was very challenging this year. Some of these I hope to review further (especially Deadline) but we will see.
Guess what, the baby started clapping today, it was very cute.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
I hope that everyone had a great time ringing in the new year. Hubby and I watched Get Smart last night, funny movie!
I have a book review up over at Book Binge for
Well I am sitting up procrastinating about cleaning my house. I have to do it, but I keep saying i will do it later. I am having a jewelry party at my house tomorrow/today/Sunday (it is late), so the house has to look presentable. I also have some cool news but I will tell you about that later.
Ran around all morning. My oldest daughter was in the city Christmas parade earlier today then we had about 10 minutes to rush home, change into her soccer uniform and race to the field for her team pictures and then a game. We made it, barely. She had a great time at both events so it was worth it.
Well I really should go clean, on with the review.
Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole
Her breathless kiss haunts him...
Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the one woman meant for him. The ruthless warrior grew even colder, never taking another to his bed -- until a smoldering encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his darkest desires. When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all his strength and skill to keep her alive.
His slow, hot touch is irresistible...
Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It's rumored that no one can tempt Bowen's hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go.
No deed is too wicked for her seduction...
If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul -- or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?
This is the third full book in the "Immortals After Dark" series. This is a great series and helpful if read in order. For more info about it click here. I just finished it tonight and really enjoyed it. Bowen has issues but he is trying to change to win Mari and does not whine about it like Deke does in Decadent (now that I think about it that is one reason I did not like that book as much as the first one, he was whiny).
The characters are a good match, they made me want to keep reading. A couple of times I was not quite following the story during the Hie and the trapping in the cave. I do not know if it was because I was tired or it was difficult to follow. I will have to re-read it later when I have had more sleep. If you have read it please let me know.

I was trying to use my labels for this and realized I needed to make a new label because they are not vamps, demons or shifters and there is more to this than just magic, so I guess I am making the label, Immortal.
Well, I was very nicely surprised at this book. I have had it in my tbr pile for a while and it kept getting pushed back and now I wish I had read it sooner. But one of the upsides of waiting is that now the second book is out and I do not have to wait forever to read it. I already have it on reserve from the library. Yeah! I really liked the ending of this book. It was a good resolution for the H and h but also a great way to continue the storyline.
Created at the dawn of time to protect humanity, the ancient warriors have been nearly forgotten, though magic lives on--in vampires, werewolves, the Celtic Sidhe, and other beings. But now one of their own has turned rogue, and the world is again in desperate need of the IMMORTALS.
He (Adrian) burst into the battle, his leather jacket billowing and his huge silver sword flashing. Amber had no idea why this windswept warrior would rescue her, but there he was--fighting the same demon who'd killed her sister. Though he was a stranger, she immediately sensed he'd come to protect her. And with the first touch of his lips on hers, she knew he was bound to her, his body meant for her. Yet the shadow of evil is spreading quickly, and more death will follow unless they can discover the secrets of...THE CALLING.
