Continuing FOREVER's book tour, it is my privilege to introduce you to Sherrill Bodine. I met Sherrill during the 2010 RWA National Convention in Orlando - she treated Mary and me to champagne and appetizers! Let's pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate Sherrill's new book, ALL I WANT IS YOU:
Vintage boutique owner Venus Smith is stunned to realize her newest acquisition comes with a larcenous legend. Stolen years ago, the antique mermaid brooch belongs to the Clayworth family. The right thing to do would be to return it, but that means facing Connor Clayworth O'Flynn, the sexy department store heir Venus has had an unrequited crush on since childhood-and the man who helped ruin her father.

...one kiss at a time.
Connor knows that Venus has never forgiven him for what happened between their families. But business isn't personal, even though Venus's father's betrayal still cuts him like a knife. So when Venus proposes a deal-she'll return his family's brooch if he helps clear her father's name-he reluctantly agrees. As action-packed days turn into flirtatious fall nights, it isn't long before old memories resurface . . . and new desires ignite. Can two young lovers leave the past behind? Or must they first admit that all they've ever really wanted . . . is each other?
ALL I WANT IN YOU reflects Sherrill's kind heart and family values - from her bio:
I’m sure growing up in my grandmother’s house, taking care of my developmentally disabled mother, forged who I am, but I don’t believe any one thing defines me. My philosophy of life is that we are all in this together—and we need to embrace one another with as much grace, humor and compassion as we can muster. I see life as big, bigger, biggest, and I want to take everyone along with me on the journey. I not only attend black-tie affairs and work on charity board projects, but I am also just as likely to be taking a grandchild to lunch and a movie. I’m happily married to John, with whom I eloped when I was an 18-year-old freshman in college. It was quite the scandal. We have four beautiful children and 11 grandchildren.

I met Sherrill Bodine at a local booksigning she is as cute and nice as her picture.
ReplyDeleteI was cleaning out a cabinet with my nephew and found my very old driver's license that had expired years ago.
I found all sorts of treasures when my basement flooded. I love rocks of all shapes and colors and I found some that had been buried. How nice that they do not mold.
ReplyDeletei found bus that should not pass my home way and i forgot to stop the bus to go up and go home ;(
ReplyDeletesometimes i got money in my pocket that i'd forgot i put it in my pocket
just got a beautiful landscape calender ;)
I once discovered "old" money in an old book. I was flipping through it and a crisp but no longer circulated bill fell out. You never know what you may find in books :)
ReplyDeleteI found a ferret that had escaped her owner running down the sidewalk in my apartment complex a few years ago...LOL
ReplyDeleteOh and hubby found a bunny in the alley behind our apartment complex...sweet little thing hopped right up to him and it only took us 2 days to find him a forever home. He was so sweet.
I found a couple of winter tops that I had put away in a funny place lol. What I would really like to find is a gold ring that I lost a couple of months ago. I've lost and found this ring twice before but this time I was outside so I may not be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteRecently I found $40 in a the pocket of a pair of pants I had put away last spring, they are winter weight pants so I had put them away when I got out the summer clothes. It was a very nice surprise:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I found medals from my grandfather's miltiary service when I inherited his desk.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

While going through my jewelry box, I found several turquoise rings I had forgotten I had.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I found a $20 bill that I had forgotten about in a jacket pocket.
ReplyDeleteWhile organizing my books I found several that I really wanted and that I had forgotten that I already had them! lol That's why I need to get organized!
ReplyDeleteI've found money in old purses. It was good that I went through them before throwing them out.
I love all these stories of found treasures! THAT is so much a part of ALL I WANT IS YOU! I hope you all enjoy it - thanks for your support - it means everything!

Once I found $20.00 in my coat pocket that I must have left in the coat when I put it away for the summer.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few years ago, we found a cow meandering down our street. It had wandered off from it's pasture down the road. Not something we see every day around here. Fortunately, it did return home safely.
ReplyDeletei found some money when i cleaned my drawers..sometimes it just great to found them when you run low of money :)
ReplyDeleteDoes it count to say I found a scorpion in my washer? ;o) I've found money in pockets and I've also found Christmas presents that I couldn't find at Christmas several months later!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to these two books - sound like really good reads.
I love finding funny things that people use as book marks. Whenever I borrow library books, there is often something tucked down inside: scraps of paper & business cards for example.
ReplyDeleteI just read Marybelle's comment and I totally agree! It's fun to find "bookmarks" in library books. I found one that was a ticket for perhaps a train or bus in Austria. That's been the most unique one I've found so far. I love to find money in my pant's pockets. Usually it is just a dollar bill or a 5 dollar bill, but it makes me happy nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteUnconditional Love and care, books are great
ReplyDeleteOnce I took a winter coat out of the closet and found money in the pocket. Unfortunately it hasn't happened again.
ReplyDeleteDon't really recall anything unexpected I found, but when I clean out my drawers and things, I usually 'find' some things forgotten in there...
