The second of four Twice Tempted Arc contests is now up on my Facebook page (Missed the first Arc contest? It’s on Goodreads and it’s ending soon!). To enter the Facebook contest, you have to “like” my page or have “liked” it in the past. Not on Facebook or Goodreads? Don’t worry, I’m having a contest on my website blog soon where all you need is the ability to email to enter.
Speaking of Twice Tempted, I was so happy to see this review from Romantic Times:
“Despite fiery lovers Vlad and Leila surviving an attack by one of Vlad’s old foes, the road to romance is not going smoothly. Book two in megastar Frost’s Night Prince series illustrates the challenges facing these two and the results are not pretty. But fortunately, this means readers are in for a story that is emotionally intense, chock full of danger and violence and loaded with flaming passion. What more could you want?” ~ Jill M. Smith, Top Pick!
My Overstuffed Bookshelf, Vampire Book Club, and Pure Textuality also gave Twice Tempted 5 stars. Less glowing reviews will come, of course, but for now I’m going to tell myself this is a clear indication that everyone will love the book. *grin* Allow me my illusions for a few more days, will you?
Now, onto the personal update. Remember last Tuesday I blogged about how I was going to blog more, and then you didn’t hear from me for a week? Well, on Wednesday I had my gall bladder removed because according to tests, it didn’t work. Luckily, a gall bladder is one of those don’t-need-’em organs, but it did make for a stressful February since I rushed back from my mother’s unexpected emergency surgery in Florida to have my own previously-scheduled surgery in North Carolina. I’d hoped to be back to work on Saturday, but I found out something I’d forgotten in the nine years since my last laparoscopic surgery: it makes you tired. Soreness and being reduced to feeling like an upside-down turtle aside (try sitting up or getting out of bed without using any stomach muscles. You end up flopping your limbs like a turtle on its back!), it’s the tiredness that takes the most toll. Good news is that I’m getting more energy with each passing day, so I hope to be up to full steam by the end of the week. Here I want to thank God, the doctors and the nurses for everything going smoothly with the procedure and my recovery, and hey, healing up has allowed me to watch more episodes of Castle without feeling guilty that I’m not working ;).
Wishing all of you good health, and remember to look for that Twitter contest and the website blog contest soon!
Sending healing thoughts and vibes your way ->->-> love your books.
Very glad to hear you are okay now Jeaniene, I hope that you are enjoying this break, and that you can face all the activities for the release of Twice Tempted with new force!! Its only a month away now and I barely can wait!! Keep getting better!!
Sorry to hear about the gallbladder. Glad to hear you are doing better. How’s your mom doing? Hope recovery for you both goes smoothly. Take care.
So glad you are feeling better. Sending good vibes your way!! Love your books can’t wait for Twice Tempted!!
I hope you feel better soon! I recently had my second laparoscopic surgery, so I know exactly how it feels afterwards, and it’s no fun. Glad to hear you’re on the mend.
I’m glad you’re well on the road to recovery. Always listen to your body and rest when it needs it.
You haven’t got the gall! Just like me – get well soon! X
Re the gallbladder surgery – been there, done that! At least you were able to go the laparoscopic route. I had it long ago when that wasn’t an option.
Take care – and enjoy Castle, because he “really is ruggedly handsome!” 🙂
Glad to hear you are healing up! I can’t wait for Twice Tempted and hearing (reading) those reviews just fuels the fire!
Glad to hear everything is getting better! I’ve had my gallbladder taken out years ago so I totally understand.
Healing thoughts headed your way.
Sorry that you had to have surgery, but glad you are recovering from it. Hope you’re back to fighting (writing) shape soon.
sendining healing thoughts your way
Stuck on watching Castle. Good Show. Glad to hear everything went well with your surgury. I will pray you will be feeling like yourself soon.
I know how you are feeling. I am 4 months post gallbladder removal. Glad u are on the mend! Can’t wait to read Twice Tempted!!
I can’t believe so many people have had their gall bladders removed! I hope you heal up quickly and feel better soon.
I am glad to hear that you are on the mend. I had mine out years ago and mine was beyond laparscopic. I had to get the long cut across the stomach. I’ve enjoyed all of your books and cannot wait for twice tempted. Love the night huntress series. I have all of them and I have read them several times over. You have a Blessed day and continue to heal.
Been there and done that…so I know how you feel. Those attacks are THE WORST, so no more of those and you’ll feel so much better when you’re all healed up.
Of course everyone will love Vlad’s second story– pshaw…how can they not love it:)
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
I’m a new fan and I am wondering if Ian will get a story as did Spade, Menchere, and Vlad. Love the Night Huntress World books.
So glad to hear that you and your mother are doing well. Surgery can be so draining. I’m not surprised that good reviews are coming on the book. Can’t wait until it’s released. Hope to see more posts now that you’re feeling better.
Hugs to you and your mom!
Way too much excitement!!! Take care of yourself so you can be there for those you love . . . . as well as to continue writing your fabulous books!!!!
