Ruby Jewell knows flowers in and out. In the twenty years she has worked as a florist she has stood behind the counter at the Flower Shoppe with her faithful dog, Clementine, resting at her feet. A customer can walk in and with just a glance or a few words, Ruby can throw together the perfect arrangement for any occasion.

Whether intended to rekindle a romance, mark a special occasion or heal hurts, her designs mark the moments and milestones of the lives of those in her town. It is as though she just knows what they want to say without them even knowing it.

Ruby’s own heart has gone ignored since the death of her sister. It takes an invitation from a man who has flown to the moon, the arrival of a unique young boy and the concern of a veterinarian to help reawaken her wounded heart. The healing power of her community helps put her together again as she does so many times for them

I completely fell in love with this novel and could not put it down. I think so many of us know the Ruby’s in our lives. You just want the best for Ruby. She gives so much of herself to others without every quite letting them into her life. Through out the novel we see Ruby grow and heal (I love when you can watch the main character grow right in front of your eyes!) and you cry and laugh along with her. An incredibly warm and lovely story that will have you unable to put the novel down.

A historical romance centered around desire and loyalty, What a Hero Dares by Kasey Michaels is the conclusion to the Redgrave’s series – four siblings united by their legacy of scandal and seduction.

The fearless solder, Maximilien Redgrave is punished and scorned for his father’s crimes even as he fights to protect England. His quest to restore his family’s reputation is a private battle that only he knows of. During one of his battles, he trusts the young Zoe Charbonneau whose betrayal destroyed his closest comrades and nearly unraveled his covert mission and forced him to learn a lesson he will never soon forget. When he discovers a smuggling ring he sets off to find the leader and is not prepared to find Zoe on his ship once again.

Believed to be a double agent for France and England, Zoe must clear her name in order to save her life. Convincing Max of her innocence seems impossible until inescapable desire tempts them both to trust and love each other again. As the smuggling ring danger moves closer they realize they may be out of time together.

A fantastic read that does not solely focus on the romance of Max and Zoe but also on their work as agents during the fighting between France and England. Kasey paints a great picture of their relationship and the mysterious life of Zoe. Zoe is a strong character at a time where women were not allowed to be. She suffered greatly but always manages to come out on top. She hides her deepest secrets close to her heart and slowly allows Max in. Full of adventure, mystery and romance!

Giveaway is open to Continental US Residents.

I have a home full of sports fanatics. Soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey – you name it they love it! We are raising two young future Fanatics in our home and I could not be prouder!

From the time that our boys were born they were sporting their jerseys of their future favourite teams (a.k.a. Mom’s favourite teams – The Maple Leafs and the Raptors – woohoo let’s go Toronto!). Saturday night was always hockey night in our home growing up and I loved the family bonding time it provided us with. I want my children to experience this love as well.
