I received a free copy of Unfaithfully Yours by Joanne Clancy to do a review on.
Unfaithfully Yours is a book about one man and the four women he's cheating on, one his wife. The first part of the book is very sensual and a little confusing at times. The second half of the book tells about the wife's revenge. While I enjoyed the book, I thought there were some extra characters that didn't really have anything to do with the story that the author could have left out. It also left me hanging at the end because one of the women wasn't even mentioned and I was wondering what became of her.
Over all the book was a very good read and I would give it 3 stars.
Thank you to Joanne Clancy for allowing me to review her book.

An Affection for an Unmarried Lady
I received 'An Affection for an Unmarried Lady' by Fanny Delarose in a Goodreads giveaway. From the moment I started reading it I was hooked. I just couldn't put it down. In fact, I was in the process of reading another book when I received this book.
The story is set in late-Georgian England, and tells about Lady Ann Astweir and her Season in London society. The story also has two underlying stories, one about Lady Ann's sister Lady Rosalyn and one about Lady Evelyn Duchambord. You will read about the lives of these three Lady's and one season in London. You will find out about their love's and the trials they go through to get the one they love. It felt as I was right there in the story, watching what was going on.
This book was well written and I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes reading Historical romance.

Busy, Busy, Busy
It has been a hectic 13 days for me. We made it to Texas with no problems. We had nice weather for the drive and the animals didn't get lost or run away.
Ever since we got here I have been unpacking. The place we are now is a lot smaller than the one in SC. I don't have enough room to put every out, so I'm doing the best I can with the space I have. I still have not been able to put all my books out yet. I need to buy some book cases still.
Aubrey, my grandson, has called twice so far. The first time was on the drive down here, he wanted me to come over, and the second time he asked if I was still in Texas. I am going to miss seeing him all the time. He's my first grandchild and very special to me. He even helped load the U-Haul. He is growing up so fast.
Shanen and I both cried when we said goodbye. I know she is going to be okay, though. She is a strong woman and she has lots of support from her boyfriends family. I'm still gonna miss her but we talk everyday on the phone and I will be getting Skype soon so we can talk that way also.
Russell, son #2, was such a big help when we got to Texas. He helped unload our stuff and we got unloaded in only 2 days. I don't know what we would have done is he wasn't here. He stayed for a week and then he had to go back to work. I probably won't see him for another 2 months.
Frank was gone the whole first week we were here. He was home for the weekend so that was nice. His work keeps him out overnight at times but I'm getting along okay with him gone.
Well, it's time to get back to unpacking. Have a good day all.

'Gone West' by Carola Dunn
I received this book from a giveaway at Goodreads.com. It is an Advance Reading Copy of "Gone West" by Carola Dunn. I was very impressed with the amount of detail the author went into. I got hooked the very first chapter.
This book is a murder mystery but the murder doesn't happen right away. First the author gives insight into the characters and then the murder happens. You have to pay real close attention to what the author is saying about each character because it gives very subtle clues as to who the murderer is. I had gotten so into each character that I didn't pay much attention to the clues. I was totally shocked to find out who the murderer was. I certainly didn't expect it to be who it was.
I had never heard of Carola Dunn before but I will be looking for more of her books. I would highly recommend this book.

Six more days
It's hard to believe. In 6 more days I will be on my way to Texas. This month has seemed to have flown by.
I'm a little nervous about this move. I've never been to Texas and it's going take some time to get used to being there. I'm leaving behind my daughter, Shanen, and my two grandsons, Aubrey-4 and Lorrance-11 months. I am also leaving behind my oldest son, Thomas. I'm sure they will be okay but I'm going miss them terribly.
We have a place in Texas already. My husband found it the second week he was there. We have a six month lease so hubby wants me to not unpack everything right off in case we decide to move after the six months is up. It's not going to be easy not to unpack everything. I have all my books in boxes and I'll have to leave them in the boxes. I guess if I have to then I have to. I'll just make sure they are easy to get into.
I have one book that I did leave out, though. I got it in a giveaway at goodreads.com. The book is 'Gone West" by Carola Dunn. I started reading it this morning and it is real good. I'm going to spend the rest of the day reading it.
