I am so sore this morning. Wasn’t I just saying how much I hate exercise? I am sore from doing a bunch of cardio last night with the family. We started out with a nice walk around the neighborhood after dinner. After the walk my oldest started cleaning the dinner dishes and after only a few minutes he noticed the sink was clogged. This happen once or twice a year. There is a badly positioned pipe under the house and when it gets clogged, it’s about two hours of plunging. Last night was a special treat. We got an extra hour of harassing that sink, but unfortunately it just didn’t work. My arms are absolutely dead this morning. The good news is I need to go to the hardware store for some liquid plumber… and maybe a few little plants to cheer me up! They will have to be light plants.. my arms are toast!

Genre: Literary Fiction | History | Psychological

Growing up in the mill slums surrounding Pittsburgh, all that Daniel Robinson ever wanted was a family who loved him. Instead, he was ignored by a mother who hid in her room praying to an unseen God, and a drunk for a father who used everyone as a punching bag.
He thought he found love in college with Elizabeth. But she dropped him as soon as someone “with better prospects” came along. Daniel spends the next ten years wandering the country throughout the turbulent 1960’s, desperate to find someone who didn’t care about money and would love him as he is. While traveling he gets caught up in the hippie drug invasion in San Francisco, racial violence in Cleveland and Detroit, and especially a deadly anti-war protest at Kent State.
Ultimately, he does find that love in Ruthie, a salt-of-the earth Ohio farm girl and her family who welcome him as one of their own. Marriage is expected — until Elizabeth resurfaces and seduces Daniel with false promises of love.

by Penelope Bloom
(1,602 Reviews)
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
A runaway bride crashing in my guesthouse is the last thing I need.
I already had perfectly good holiday plans, like glaring at walls and staring moodily into distant horizons because my hockey season is officially down the drain.
And she’s as off-limits as it gets, but she has no car, no money, no job, and no place to stay.
So I’ll let her crash with me for the holidays. With my teammates and her brother already over for the holidays, I’m sure we’ll barely notice her.
After all, how much trouble can one relentlessly cheerful little woman cause?
Plenty.
Usually, I’m the last guy on the team women try to warm up to, but she’s not put off by my icy moods.
I’ll wind up bending one rule after another because I can’t seem to say “no” to her.
Taking her shopping for new underwear (don’t ask).
Doting on her like a lovesick puppy when she twists her ankle.
Sharing steamy glances when my teammates and her brother aren’t looking…
My teammates can’t know how much she tempts me. Her brother certainly can’t know the things I’m imagining doing to her.
We’ll both keep pretending we’re just having fun, even when she winds up sharing my bed in secret. We both agree it’s harmless. Just casual.
But when her old life comes calling, will I keep pretending, or will I put it all on the line?
