A great evil waits for me…

And it won’t stop until it swallows me whole.

 

I’ve been ripped from Dark Castle, thrown back into the mortal world where I don’t belong.

 

Here, they think I’m crazy. They’ve locked me up and forced pills down my throat, telling me I’ve lost my mind.

 

And maybe I have…

 

I’ve fallen for three monsters after all.

 

Prince Airic, Knight Reis, and shapeshifter Wels—they are the sinister men of my nightmares and my deepest fantasies. I can still feel their touches, hear their voices in my head, but they’re in danger.

 

I have to get back to them because if the shadows close in, I can lose everything.

 

The kingdom.

 

My monsters.

 

And ultimately, myself.

 

Necessary Evil is book 2 in the Kingdom of Monsters series. It's a full length fantasy monster romance with some darker themes, lots of steam, and is a story where the heroine will end up with more than one love interest.

But when she isn't creating entire worlds with sexy shifters or legendary love stories, you can find her either with a good cup of coffee in hand or at home snuggling with her furry, four-legged son, Sammy.

She writes urban fantasy and paranormal romance.

Hooked on a Feeling by Ashley Bostock

Title: Hooked on a Feeling

Series: The Davenport Family #1

Author: Ashley Bostock

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 15, 2022

BLURB

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Ashley Bostock brings together close family dynamics, long-standing family feuds, steamy relationships, and the mandatory family Sunday dinners in this seductive, addicting, and thigh-clenching romance series featuring the Davenport family.

Navigating family business can lead to rough waters.

Starr Young never wanted to sell her grandfather’s beloved Emerald Port marina, but her parents have given her two weeks to do just that. The only problem is that John Davenport, her gorgeous new neighbor, is tempting and kind of fun . . . in bed and out. Oops.

Surely a little fling while she cleans out the cottage and puts the marina up for sale won’t rock the boat—will it?

John Davenport is focused on becoming CEO of Blue Horizon Yachts. The last thing he needs is the cute next-door neighbor distracting him with all of her yoga moves. Starr Young is sexy, independent and John can’t seem to shake her—watching her from his office windows morning, noon and night. Even worse—the Davenports and Youngs have been feuding for generations.

And it doesn’t matter that they’re opposites— she thinks his yachts are ruining the ocean and he’s not taking care of the planet like she does. Opposites attract, after all. Besides, she won’t be in Emerald Port for long. John might be lying to himself when he says he doesn’t mind the short-term love affair.

Can John convince Starr to stay? Or will she leave him high and dry, with a broken heart?

I’ll ignore everyone and work… except when she’s fueling my warped needs.

Although she did surprise me and negotiated a higher prenup for her silly cupcake bakery.

Once January 2nd arrives, I’m divorcing her.

Except the more we’re together, the more she’s infiltrating my heart… in ways that have me second guessing our secret arrangement…

NY Style Push Cart Hot Dog Onion Sauce

 Mik and I haven't had hot dogs in quite some time so I thought I would make these for one of our Friday nights. Unfortunately I ended up having to work late so Mik made the sauce on her own and then proceeded to get mad at me later about having to cut the onions up which made her cry.

This is a super easy recipe but gives the Hot Dogs a different twist to the usual. I thought that the onion mixture was good and you need to make sure that you have good buns. I think next time I would use more of a standard basic bun as the ones we had were just a bit too much for the hot dogs.

You can find the recipe here: http://www.savvyinthekitchen.com/2016/07/ny-style-push-cart-hot-dog-onion-sauce.html

BAKED HAM SANDWICHES WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

 This is a great recipe to use up any of the ham you have from the holidays that have happened or are coming up.

The recipe is simple but super delicious and we didn't have any leftovers that night!

Unfortunately we didn't have Hawaiian Rolls but used whole wheat instead as that was all that was at the store. These would have been awesome with the sweeter buns.

I followed the recuipe as directed except I just put the whole cheese slice onto the buns instead of putting them into quarters. I think next time I would have actually added more cheese to the sandwich!

These are so simple and I loved the sauce that went on the top of them as that gave so much extra flavor!
