Ella's Turning What?

Happy Birthday Ella!

To celebrate Ella turning....(shh, you should never disclose a lady's age! so lets say another year more beautiful) she is holding a Birthday Blog Hop from the 9th - 11th August with over 100 of her friends! 

Prizes!

I will be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Card to a lucky winner. There is a HUGE grand prize of $100 Amazon or B&N GC (yes you read that right!) and I will be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Card to a lucky winner on my blog. More on that in a sec. 

Cake!

So, to fit in with the 'birthday' theme I thought I'd share a little something - cake! I'm a big fan of cake! From the day I can remember my Mum would ALWAYS make a big issue out of my birthday cake. She would usually have it professionally made and they were just simply amazing! One year it was Saturday Night Fever, one year Po from the Teletubbies (hey, he was cute!) and another Harry Potter, plus lots more. I haven't got any photos to hand to share unfortunately but the cake bug seems to have passed through the genes from mother to daughter, because I'm the exact same with my boys! And I can share some pictures of their birthday cakes with you!

As you can well and truly see, I have my Mum's perfect cake addiction! I hope your birthday cake is extra special Ella!

I wonder if I could make my debut book's cover into a cake! Now there's an idea for my birthday 2014! Speaking of which, would you like to see it....it's really beautiful, well I think so :-)

Revenge in Rio by Samantha Darling

Genre(s): Contemporary RomanceDigital 

ISBN: 9781937325916

Length: Category

Publication Date: October 21, 2013

Price: $4.99

Calculated revenge, unexpected passion…

Business magnate Luca Venancio is returning to Rio to pay his respects to his late brother, and to seduce his once fiancée, Daniella, back into his bed. Five years ago she left him without so much as a word, shunning him and the rich life he could offer in exchange for his younger, reckless brother. Now Luca wants revenge—seduce her and dump her, that's all he intends to do.

Blackmailed into a violent farce of a marriage, Daniella had no choice but to comply to protect Luca's life, even though it meant never being able to see him again. Years later, a twist of fate reunites them, throwing her plans of fleeing Rio out of the window and the love of her life straight back in.

Luca's flawless plan soon becomes complicated when he discovers Daniella is expecting his brother's child. It becomes even more complicated when old passions return. Can he actually go through with seducing her, bedding her, and then discarding her?
