Duke’s Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid

The Duke’s Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid is a fascinating, fast-paced novella full of secrets, romance and intrigue. For two strong personalities with their own quirks, the story was sweet, hot, fun and an enjoyable read. To those unfamiliar with historical romance genre, this is a good initiation book.

Too bad it was a short story. It would have been wonderful to get to know these characters more.

Prey by Linda Howard

Prey by Linda Howard has something different: a man-eating black bear.

4 stars in my GoodReads review but I didn’t write something.

Maybe because I liked the story but not the bear. I did like the story but not the bear. The suspense was quite expected but I felt the story was stretched a bit. I also wondered why Dare was just too strong to withstand the elements. Dare the H is someone I would like to be my guide when I go camping in the woods during winter. Maybe Angie can go too so that they can work together to ensure all of us in the camping trip will survive.

 

Sweet Temptation by Lucy Diamond

In relation to Roche’s reading challenge, here is a book I have read from an author that I’m reading for the first time.

Sweet Temptation by Lucy Dianond

Lucy Diamond’s Sweet Temptation.

Here is my GoodReads short review:

At first I thought this book was not something I would read but because the plot was easy to read, the characters (tho I at times had to think who Lauren and Jess were) were likable and I’d be honest, I wanted to see if they were able to do something about their weight.

All in all, this is a fun read.

How to Eat at a Buffet

Buffet? Where?

Have you been to a buffet and ate till you can’t breathe nor stand up?

I bet you did.

There are however ways on how to eat smartly at a buffet:

  • Sit as far away from the food as possible
  • Position yourself that you are not in direct eye contact with the delectable food offerings
  • Look at the options and see which you think you have not eaten enough of and get these for your consumption.
  • Avoid fattening foods
  • Avoid the raw food especially if you do not have the  stomach for these
  • Lunch time is the best time to go because you still have time to burn the food you ate
  • Choose the food that are more expensive than you can normally afford.  Of course it doesn’t mean these are more delicious but since these may be above your price range, you now have a chance to “feast” on these
  • Slow and Steady will make you be able to have more
  • Be well hydrated.Take small sips of the drinks you have
  • Get food in small portions to avoid feeling full and regretting not being able to eat some food on the buffet table

This article does not tell you to eat less at a buffet, it merely tells you how you can make the most of your buffet experience.
