Re: No Heartbreaker Required (7:44am June 14, 2019):

Reason 1 - Getting my feet rubbed nearly every day to
relieve my pain.
Reason 2 - Making me food when I am tired, whiny, and
cannot even make a cup of noodles for myself.
Reason 3 - Being a warm fuzzy huggy bear. Seriously, like
a heater under the covers.

Planting your garden, knowing how lovely everything is going
to be!

Re: A Shot of Murder (2:14am April 17, 2019):

I like the idea of researching whiskey! Sounds like you had
a grand time researching and writing this one.

Re: Death Blow (2:13am April 17, 2019):

Yikes. Not sure about a match... but the book is certainly
a match for me!

Re: Twice Tempted (1:26am December 5, 2014):

I love series - especially the never-ending ones ;) I
appreciate the well developed over multiple books story
arcs and relationships - it makes the world more real. My
biggest problem is when an author's muse stops inspiring
that particular series and I want more :(

Re: Waking Up Joy (1:22am December 5, 2014):

My mom read those Danielle Steele's. To this day, when I
see them it makes me think of her. I love romance novels
of all kinds. I must admit to having a full on book
addiction!
Tina - have you considered trying to find that friend via
social media? I bet you could track her down. Maybe she
is on Goodreads... or even has a book out too. Wouldn't
it be great to trade books with her - your own?!?

Re: Brushing Off The Boss (11:03pm September 17, 2014):

I have read every single one of your books Annie and I
adore them all.
To a certain degree each new one becomes my favorite; but
there are two that remain in my top picks because of
their locations, the descriptions, and how they fit...
Italian Affair and Outback Affair both take place in
regions far removed from Seattle, where I live. Outback
Affair especially is neat since Australia in one of the
places I have never been. I loved the vivid scenery and
your descriptions of everything truly brought it to life
in my mind. In my State of the US we have every single
type of climate or environment: ocean front, dessert,
woodland, prairie, rainforest, snowy mountains, etc.
Australia is one of those regions of the world that also
seems to encompass MORE. The rich descriptive power you
bring to bear makes readers like me want to wing our way
to you... especially when you include such a fascinating
recipe.
Brushing Off The Boss does it AGAIN!! The area is not
that far; just 2 states South, and familiar... so I
appreciate how lovely it is through your eyes. It may
not be terribly exotic, but your descriptions of the area
and the characters are evocative... I also enjoyed
seeing another recipe!
So ultimately, whether the locale is exotic or mundane,
whether the people are at home or not, the best books to
read are those which, like yours... are descriptive and
help us as the readers to journey with you in our minds
to a place and a story that sweeps us away.

Re: The Winter Bride (8:20am April 8, 2014):

Women as muffins.... teehee. Sounds like sometimes Freddie
might be hard to like; but then again having a real
personality with actual likes and dislikes is kind of nice.
Having a more normal guy is sometimes nice...

Re: Rising Assets (8:11am April 8, 2014):

When I tell someone that I am low on minutes and to call my
other phone or message me and they call me 27 times on my
cell in less than 24 hours. Ugh!

Re: Dating, Dining, and Desperation (2:26am March 14, 2014):

Who doesn't love a marine!! This sounds great.

Re: Free Falling (2:24am March 14, 2014):

oooh, look at that cover... all stark and that tattoo! mmmm

Re: Desperately Seeking Suzanna (2:18am March 14, 2014):

mmmm chocolate cake... I love the idea of this story and look
forward to seeing it all roll out...

Re: The Bride Insists (2:15am March 14, 2014):

Haha a man thinking she'll become submissive and compliant...
sounds like it'll be fun!

Re: The Trouble With Honor (1:27am February 26, 2014):

You had me with the description, but the teaser was the icing
on the cake! Thanks for the excerpt and giveaway!

Re: Hot Rock (9:33pm February 25, 2014):

Hi Annie! Hot Rock was fantastic - love that is timeless...
sigh. That is part of the appeal; the music is timeless!
To a certain degree so are the rockers... think Rod
Stewart... or what about Bob from DEVO? Did you feel
surprise that he died, like me? It seems like they would
live forever if they don't flame out young... And Bowie...
oh yumyumyum. Labyrinth? Ziggy Stardust? OH MY!

Re: Much Ado About Jack (6:28pm February 18, 2014):

I wonder... I think that it would all be fodder for his
writing... maybe someone needs to write a book where he is a
vampire living in later times and still writing...

Re: Once Upon a Masquerade (4:19am February 18, 2014):

It depends... the environment, the other characters...
Yes, I would like to be entered. Thanks

Re: Lord of Swords (4:13am February 18, 2014):

That is cool, I had no idea that Valentine's was also Donor
day. Yes, I'd love to be entered to win.

Re: High-Heeled Wonder (4:08am February 18, 2014):

Oh, and duh, yes I want to be entered!

Re: High-Heeled Wonder (4:08am February 18, 2014):

Loving this!

Re: The Trigger (9:54pm January 1, 2014):

I bought it! Plus I am going to get your new release emails
and entered your launch day contest. Super fun. Thanks

Re: The Trigger (8:44pm January 1, 2014):

I admit to stockpiling food. I also make my own laundry
detergent. It's partially that inner girl scout and partially
my odd need to feed other people.

Re: If Wishes Were Earls (5:26pm December 30, 2013):

I love the 6 brothers thing... as a girl whose besties are ALL
guys... I have experienced the blockage that can occur...
funny stories ensue. Thanks for the contest!

Re: Freezer I'll Shoot (9:46am December 28, 2013):

I just want to get through the next couple of months, find out
what is wrong with my foot, have the surgery, and then I can
finally be active again and get back on my weight loss track.

Re: Soul Deep (3:20am February 4, 2013):

I can totally see the draw of best friend stories just as much
as any other.

Re: Deck the Halls With Love (4:02am January 30, 2013):

I love that you let your characters be so alive, your
description of how they come to you is pretty neat.

Re: Secrets Of A Wedding Night (2:53am September 28, 2012):

Smart math guy... yup, super sexy. Okay, I admit it I adore
Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory. I have been wondering for a
while just what Faro is... google search time!! Thanks for
the giveaway!

Re: Deadly Little Lies (3:21am September 18, 2012):

Hmmm. I actually enjoyed just about every book I read as a
kid. There were SO very many books that impacted me. I loved
Madeleine L'Engle, I read quite a bit of science fiction and
fantasy and even mysteries.

Re: Allergic To Death (10:36pm August 18, 2012):

Oooh. These look like great books! I love food and mystery
together. Thanks for the contest, I have not read these yet
and just added you to my TBR list.

Re: Going To The Bad (8:56am August 6, 2012):

I always hate losing someone I like, even if it is "only" a
book person. My hubby can't get over it when I cry over a
person that he does not see as real.
