Independence Blog Hop!

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. WINNERS ANNOUNCED SOON!

If you’re new to my blog, welcome. If you’ve been here before, welcome back!!

I’m participating in the Celebrate Independence blog hop!! I’m Canadian and celebrate Canada Day on July 1st, but I also live in the US and celebrate July 4th. I get twice the fun each year!! To mark the occasions, I’m giving away not one prize, but two!

1 lucky commenter will win an ebook from my back list! Winner’s choice of course!!

1 lucky commenter will win a $20 GC for either B&N or Amazon! Woot!!

Want a chance or two to win?? I’ll tell you how in just a minute. But first, a little snippet from LOVE ON LANDING available from:

SILVER PUBLISHING            AMAZON               BARNES & NOBLE

“Stay,” he said simply.

She laughed at his forwardness. She liked he wanted to take control, but this seemed like he was getting a little carried away. “I’m not your dog.”

“No, you aren’t, but you really should listen.” He tugged open his pants and slipped out of them and his boxers at the same time. He held them long enough to retrieve a condom from his wallet before dropping his pants to the floor to join his shirt. She giggled as he casually tossed the condom onto the bedside table as if it were his car keys.

He answered her laugh with a devilish smile. “I promise I’ll make your obedience worth your while—if you’re a good girl.”

“What if I’m bad?” she teased.

“I’ll make your deviance worth my while.”

And now, how you can enter my contest for a chance to win… Each thing on the list earns you another chance to win! Do all or only one, whatever YOU are comfortable with!!

    Hi, Heather!

    I received your blog in my email. #chicklitchat was fun! Can’t wait til the next chat 🙂

    The 4th of July fireworks and whatever comes my way is what I do on Indrpendence Day.

    Great blog!

    1. Heather says:

      Nice to see you again, Kay! #chicklitchat was a ton of fun this past week. It runs every Thursday if you’re interested in dropping by to chat again. I won’t be hosting it again until August, but the other hosts are super fun and friendly too!

  3. Allyson Brann says:

    I already had your books on either my read list or my tbr list on goodreads:) This year my family is going to a pool party/ cookout and then off to the fireworks! And of course ice cream which is one of my 2 1/2 years olds favorite things:) Enjoy your fourth!

    1. Heather says:

      Hi Allyson! Is it sad that I get a little *SQUEE* moment when someone new tells me they already have my books on a TBR list?? Cause I do. 😉 I hope you enjoy them!

      And I totally hear you about the ice cream. My family loves one local place and we stop in for treat almost every week in the summer. So yummy!

    The 4th is one of my favorite holidays. We BBQ, drink lots of beer, and light fireworks. The kids play on the slip and slide, do sparklers, and run around with their cousins.

      Hi Karen, Enjoy your week back home with family and friends! We’re making the trip back home this summer too! I’m looking forward to it!

  23. Ash Krafton says:

    We’re lucky enough to catch a break from our kids’ hectic schedules–hello? Who said SUMMER VACATION? What a lie…

    We’ll have a cook-out at Grandma’s place. Hopefully there will be lots of cousins visiting. Kids will swim and play in the yard…grown-up kids like me will sit on the deck, goofing off with my husband’s family.

    It’s supposed to rain but that won’t deter us from getting together. Everyone works during the week so holidays make for precious time to catch up with each other.

    Happy holiday, everyone!

    Hi Heather,

    I don’t really do anything special for Independence Day because fireworks freak me out. Instead, I end up having a very long b’day since it’s 2 days before the holiday and end up eating the entire week lol. Thanks for bloghop!

    1. Heather says:

      Hi Phuong! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! We will probably watch the fireworks for our living room windows because they freak my DD out too! Luckily a camp down the street sets them off so we get a pretty good view from our house and it’s much less scary for her.

  33. Donna/BLHmistress says:

    I think we are going to just chill maybe watch the fireworks, but my son is visiting his other grandparents so there won’t be much going on.
