I Just finished reading an Advanced copy of "Surrender" by Joan Johnston. It was so good! I love her Bittercreek series. The story starts off with a plane about to crash and the pilot a woman and a male smoke jumper having to jump together with one parachute into a burning inferno in Yellowstone National Park. This book hooks you from the start, and is full of angst and romance. You can read a book description and my review at this link Surrender by Joan Johnston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Joan Johnston delivers again with another heart stopping, sexy, suspenseful, action packed read. I love all the Bitter Creek novels. Surrender has a sexy alpha male, and a kick ass heroine. All the tension and build up of repressed feelings between Taylor and Brian literally made me ache and not be able to put the book down! A must read, No Cliffhanger, Thanks Joan Johnston for another soul infusing read :)

View all my reviews Happy Reading!!

Brooke Afton Bunn

My baby girl is almost 3 weeks old now, she was born July 24th at 5:22 pm. she was 21 inches long, and weighed 6lbs 8 oz. My labor was induced and only lasted about 8 1/2 hrs, so not too bad. She is so beautiful and wonderful, and I still can't believe we created such a unique amazing little girl. We are so blessed and happy :)

baby girl will be here soon

Due date for baby Brooke is June 28th, I will be 37 weeks Tuesday, so she could come at any time, very anxious and excited to meet her, here is a ultrasound picture of her at 36 weeks, so cute!

Winter Wonderland

I love the snow and hope it stays around for a white Christmas. The Christmas tree is up and my shopping is almost done. Work is a circus, but that is retail and Christmas time. I posted some pics I took in front of the tree December 1st. Logan is like a little brother to me and he has left for a mission in Peru. We are very proud of him, and will miss him everyday. Chad and I are both doing well and have had a very happy and blessed year. I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!!

Christmas in September

I'm coming up on a busy time at work. The 6 weeks after Thanksgiving are huge. The pain is getting everything set and ready before November. And the crazy thing is it all started in August! It's lots of work, but fun also. I'm excited for fall, Chad and I will be celebrating our 5th anniversary at Yellowstone. I can't wait! Hope everyone's lives are well.

I'm on Vacation!

Well, I am half way through my vacation and I am just starting to relax. I am really looking forward to the weekend. We are leaving for mccall tomorrow. Chad wants to golf 27 holes. I have done 18 before, but not 27! I'm pretty excited. Then we are all staying at a house we rented in Donnelly. It should be a great weekend. Hopefully when I get back to work things go smooth. I have a new boss. I was pretty used to my old boss since I worked for him for 5 years. But he is moving on to a bigger store. I'm excited and anxious for the coming change. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!

Best series I have ever read, and I have read alot!

I have read 5 books in 2 weeks. My friend Katie gave me a book to read called Virgin River, by Robyn Carr. Her mom gave it to her to read and she had been putting it off, because she doesn't like to read romance novels. She finally read it one week when she was home sick. She loved it and gave it to me to read. I didn't want to read it because we rarely agree on books. It sat around the house for a week, the cover wasn't all that exciting and the synopisis on the back was just ok.
Well, all it took was one chapter and I was hooked. So far there are 5 books in the series with the sixth one to come out in April. Virgin River is the first one, then the order goes "Shelter Mountain", "Whispering Rock", Second Chance Pass, and Temptation Ridge. Paradise Valley is number 6 and it will be out soon.

These books are so wonderful. First one is about a widow trying to re build her life, second one is about a girl who is on the run from her abusive husband, the third is about a DA lawyer who lost a high profile serial rape case and becomes a victim, the fourth is a girl who's huband is killed in iraq, and the last one I read is about a girl who is trying to overcome watching her mom die by her beside for 5 year. Sounds a little depressing but they are not. They are so moving, and the Romance is FANTASTIC. They all fall in love with a group of retired marines. And these guys are wonderful. The town Virgin River has many side stories going on and I promise if you read this series you will be so happy. It made me laugh, cry, get goosebumps down my arms and just ache for more. So when you get to a point in your life that you need a good book. Try Virgin River and I guarantee you will want to read the rest of the series. Happy Reading.

Check out her website and read some excerpts. www.robyncarr.com If anyone does read these books let me know what you think!! I feel like I won't ever find another series this great!!!
