He needs to get out of town so the murderer he is testifying against doesn’t get the chance to kill him too. She needs to get out of town so she doesn’t have to trip over her ex and his blushing bride everywhere she goes. When they both land in Virgin River the scene is…
I love to bake during the holiday season but don’t have loads of time. So while there are a few things I set aside time to really cook up right, I also rely on simple recipes that have been proven crowd pleasers. At the top of my list is the Junior Mint brownie. Brownies in…
My son, who is a film buff, has recently been working his way through the AFI Top 100 Films List. That fact had our family spending a recent Friday night watching the truly fabulous To Kill A Mockingbird. This is a film my husband and I rarely pull out. We love the movie – it is…
Once upon a time, in an economy much better than the one we have today, going out of business sales were a gleeful event for me. I would cheerfully scavenge through the picked over aisles looking for hidden treasures and incredible “steals”. I do my Christmas shopping all year long, so many of my finds…

Romance reading challenges are not new to AAR. And then there’s also the Annual TBR Challenge that has people participating from various sites around the internet, including here. Most folks, like me, participate in challenges because they have too many books and want to see a dent made in their darn TBR. But this year…
And we’re back with another Pandora’s Box, this time featuring Heartstrings and Diamond Rings by Jane Graves.
