Joyfully Recommended – Steve’s Story

Looky what I just found!

My first review for Steve’s Story. And, compliments of Melissa at Joyfully Reviewed,  it is a wonderful one!

“I had originally read Tyler’s story and fell in love with Steve, wanting his story right then. After making me wait months, Jess Dee more than delivers with Steve’s Story… which simply must be read to appreciate. Heartbreaking while at the same time being heartwarming, Jess Dee shows that while not every happy ending is perfect, sometimes you take the hand life deals you and love with all your heart. I found myself in tears several times. Truly outstanding.” (Melissa, Joyfully Reviewed)

Okay, yep, so I bolded and italicized the “truly outstanding” bit. Forgive me, I couldn’t help myself.

Thank you, Melissa! I’ve been biting my nails waiting for reviews for this book, and I could not have asked for a better review. I am so happy you liked the book.

Drinks that reflect personality

So, Viv Arend just sent this through. Her hubby sent it to her. I thought it was hilarious, and had to share.

Enjoy…

Before you order a drink in public, you should read this! Seven New York City  bartenders were asked if they could ‘nail’ a woman’s personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results:

PART A: WOMEN-DRINKS, WHO THEY ARE, & YOU!

Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won’t have to approach her. If she’s interested, she’ll send YOU a drink……

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with my friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is..this should be an easy target.

Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with pals and looking to get totally drunk… and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!

Drink: Tequila
No explanations required – everyone just KNOWS what happens there.

PART B: MAN-DRINKS & WHO THE MEN ARE!

THEN, there is the MALE addendum — The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut:

Domestic Beer: He’s poor and wants to get laid.

Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.

Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid.

Whiskey: He doesn’t give a damn about anything but getting laid.

Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.

White Zinfandel: He’s gay

(Oh, and by the way…Mari Carr read this and then commented that she is a beer drinker. Now I don’t know what to read in to that, but I’m just saying…)

LOL

Spotlight on: Selena Illyria

Yep, she back. The wonderful Miss Illyria.

In the past few months she’s had so many books published, I gave up counting after her 14 000th new release. LOL, OK, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but there is no question this woman is taking the erotic romance world by storm.

Please welcome… Selena!

The places I would love to go

By:
Selena Illyria
In the last few months I’ve released quite a range of books from the vampires in my Blood Claim universe to Werewolves in my Tartan Werewolves series and then I delved into mythology and put my spin on the Roman God Pluto. Gone into the future with With His Mind and dabbled in BDSM and Sci Fi in At Drogan’s Command.
It’s so much fun dipping in and out of other worlds, putting my spin on things, experimenting, expanding and trying new things. I would love take on Cyberpunk, go back into mythology and maybe dabble in Urban Fantasy.
I’d also love to take on the superhero genre, I’ve got a three book series in mind. *Grin* I’ve been reading a few comic books and I just love the artwork and storytelling, so creative. I’d also love to do a story based in the anime world. Hehehe. That would fun.
So here’s a question for you, dear readers, what genres would you like to see more of? Steam punk? Cyber punk?
Comment and be entered to win a copy of Tartan Twins. Good Luck!

Thank You Jess for allowing me to take over your blog. *Grin* Big Hugs!
