THE FRUIT GIVEAWAY!

That's It fruit bars grew from the idea that nature knows best. They believe that adding a bunch of extra stuff to natural fruit only takes away from the purity and balance that nature intended. They use only natural, GMO-free fruit and nothing else. Their goal is to make it convenient for people to get their “2-a-day”. That means that you get 2 whole servings of fruit from just one That's It fruit bar. Review done by Donna's Deals and More When I first got my That's It fruit bars I really wasn't sure what I was expecting. I understood the concept of "that's it" but in this age of processed food I was skeptical. The first bar I tried was the Apple+ Pear. It wasdelicious! It tasted like dehydrated apples and pears. My favorite of the bars was the Apple + Cherries. We all enjoyed all 3 flavors. I love that I can givemy munchkinssomething thatisgood for them that they really enjoy. Because they're full of fruit, they are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants. In each bar you are getting 2 full servings of fruit! These bars are excellent to throw in a lunchbox or your purse for on the go. You can purchase That's It fruit bars HERE One lucky winner will win a 12-bar variety pack of That's It fruit bars. *Open to US only, must be 18 years or older Disclosure: I received no compensation for this publication.

DONT MISS THIS BOOK GIVEAWAY!

This Giveaway is done by SaraLee's Deals Steals & Giveaways 

 About the Book:
While vacationing in the mountains, Eric meets an unusual girl, Susan, who has sparkling, emerald eyes that are unusually captivating. They are a unique, singular shade of green and seem to be imbued with an ancient fire that even a spoiled, youthfully unperceptive Eric could easily feel. He senses a strange maturity about this mysterious girl and is drawn to her like a magnet."When I said we would never be married, I meant in your way," Susan said. "Will you marry me in my way? Right now?"Even though numerous questions clamored in his head, Eric easily replied, "Of course."Eric's answer was far too easy in Susan's opinion. As she mused over his quick reply, she speculated on how to best explain their strange situation in terms that he could understand, an impossibility to do beforehand. He would have to commit himself, then learn the truth. It was unfair to the extreme, yet unavoidable under these very peculiar circumstances, and thus Eric is drawn into a mysterious world.

About the Author:  
 Oklahoman Rickey Bray became a writer after a series of personal tragedies. Following a car accident involving a drunk driver and the death of his wife and two children, he turned to drugs for consolation which eventually resulted in twelve years of incarceration, a life-altering experience resulting in the start of his prolific writing career and this debut novel.


My Take on the book:
I love reading books like these because you can lose your self in the story. I know I have said it before but this would be a great Life Time movie. I liked reading the book and it flowed well. I found myself thinking about the characters in the book when I wasn't reading it. This was a great read.

 Now for the giveaway: One lucky person will win a copy of Rendezvous Rock by Rickey Bray. This is open to US and ends 7/14/12 @ 11:59 pm est.

THE CHRYSALIS SERIES GIVEAWAY REVIEW

Original Review by Mommy and We

I recently read "Chrysalis" by Michele Prince. While it is a YA Paranormal Romance, it is definitely not for the younger YA crowd. You wouldn't want your 12-14 year old daughter reading it. While there's no actual intercourse, there's LOTS of sexual overtones. Having said that, I would've loved it when I was in high school as much as I do now. Ellie could've been me in school with her poor self image. When she fell for Oscar, it reminded me of when I fell for my husband in high school. (There was even one person who flat asked him why me. Can you imagine??) Though Ellie and Oscar's relationship is bi-racial and he is the football star, there were so many parallels with our relationship! I LOVE when I can put myself into a book. Chrysalis is well written and Michele knew exactly how to bring me in and make me keep reading. Definitely add it to your "To-Read" list this summer. Overview: In the annals of dysfunctional families, the Chisholm’s are working their way to the top. Drug abuse, an unwed mother with multiple fathers, and the questionable cash flow for the 'pretty one'. All this from a seemingly normal, two parent middle class family. But were the choices truly made of their free will? Bad choices are a Chisholm family trait, one that confounds the youngest child, Ellie, who's trying to separate herself by making smart decisions. And falling for Oscar Jeffreys, the hottest guy at school, would be number one on the list of Chisholm family disasters. Yet the crazy part is it’s not a one sided attraction. Somehow Ellie has caught Oscar Jeffreys’ eye. Sure she could see the barriers between them. Race, age, popularity. They were at opposite ends of the spectrum. But a demon set to destroy her family? She can't see that. Oscar provides security and acceptance Ellie never imagined she deserved. As the passion of first love grows, Ellie honestly believes she has a chance to beat the odds and live a happy, normal life. Then her world collapses around her. With the help of a guardian angel, Ellie learns of a world that has unknowingly surrounded her for years. And she'll have to find strength buried deep inside to save not only her future, but flush out and stop the demon in her midst. And Ellie will have to learn that sometimes the hardest lesson about growing up is accepting that you're worth more. Buy it: Get it on Nook or Buy it on Amazon: Paperback or Kindle Win it: Enter to win a signed copy of Chrysalis or one of two gift cards. Simply fill out the easy Rafflecopter form below! a Rafflecopter giveaway DISCLOSURE: I received a copy of Chrysalis for free in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are my own. -
