Is that offer still on the table? I'm blushing to admit it, but I still want to know.

An offer? So does that mean we need to do something to get it?

Jeaniene is traveling right now to Romantic Times. Maybe she will have time to answer when she returns. :)

Oh goodness no! This is definitely an adult topic. I don't even know who would be following the Q&A. 0.o

quick review - not sure where to post this.

Buy it! a 5-star purchase for me. The story in Bite Before Christmas is, to my mind, the best of the short stories/novella written to date. it reads as a short novel with lots of depth. it moves the entire "world" along with more insights and meaningful new information that will deepen certain friendships in the series. I liked the short stories but this reads like a book and I loved it. Ian,in particular is developed. We knew he had to have something inside that made others stay friends and this book lets you see some of that, and I think will allow him to be a more fully developed character as time goes on.

the Lynsay Sands novella is ok. The concept is ok but I fine the writing/characters lacking. I actually end up fast forwarding at times. I want to know how her characters solve issues... but to me any 60, let alone 600 year old man who calls his penis "Little (his name)" is too creepy for words. the story is just a way to bring a happy ending to a minor character. the upside is a beautiful sexy young looking but centuries old woman loves an old man. She has also, in the book this came from, had sexy handsome old but 20 something looking vampire guys falling for arthritic and very old ladies due to their minds. ahh. (note my ID)
