Book Review: Undone by Shannon Richard

*ARC kindly provided via NetGalley for an honest review*

 I LOVED this book! This is not your average "everything is perfect" romance story. Well, for the most part, it is. But about 75% way through, BAM, plot twist. I have to admit, this book actually brought tears to my eyes. I felt like I was a part of the story, like I was Paige and everything was happening to me. After losing her job, Paige moves in with her boyfriend. He ends up breaking up with her and telling her she is not worth it. With no one else to turn to, she moves down to a small town in Florida, where her parents have retired. At first, she doesn't fit into the town since she is a city girl and so much different from the locals. Then, her car breaks down and she ends up meeting Brendan, the hot mechanic. Everything starts to get better after that.

This is definitely a feel-good love story with a few bad characters/moments thrown in. I love that this book isn't a straight-up easy-going love story.

I recommend this book for all the romantics out there. Find more information on Good Reads.

Hampton Hotel Grand Prize

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently wrote a post about the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. In the post, I told you about the free weekend giveaway. You can view the post here. What I didn't tell you about, is the GRAND PRIZE. What is the grand prize, you ask? Well, it the best prize of all!

For the grand prize, you would win a free weekend stay at any Hampton hotel, for you and 100 of your friends. One hundred, did you catch that part? Yes, for the grand prize, you can stay the hotel with 100 of your friends! The grand prize winner wins the whole hotel (100 rooms) for two nights. This would be awesome for me, because I am getting married soon. It would be great to have all of my family and friends together for the whole weekend, and for free. And of course, when you stay at hotels, you have to pay a hotel tax. Well, Hampton has you covered! The winner will also receive $5000 to help cover the hotel tax. How awesome is that??

My wedding is only going to have 75 people, because its a budget wedding. But of course, if I won the grand prize, I would invite 25 more people. All my friends and family from Washington would be there, and my family in south, as well as my friends in Hawaii. It would be so much easier for them to attend because they wouldn't have to worry about hotel costs. And in a hotel full of my friends and family, of course we are gonna party! Since it would be my wedding weekend, I would put together a list of things to do while we are there. There is the rehearsal dinner, a morning after brunch, the bachelor/bachelorette parties. There would be so much to do with the whole hotel to ourselves!

This sweepstakes is open to residents of the US, Canada (excluding Quebec), UK and Mexico. There is no purchase necessary. The sweepstakes is open from now until September 4th, 2010.

What would you do if you had the whole hotel to yourself? Who would you invite?

Free Pizza!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently had a chance to try out some Freschetta FlatBread . And its good! I normally don't buy frozen (or even fresh) pizza but I always love a chance to try something new. I went to my local Albertsons to buy the pizza and they have a good selection! They were on sale for $4.99 each, but the original price was $7.99. Since the price was so high, I would only go back again if it was on sale. I didn't see any of the flat bread, but that's ok. We got two of the Naturally Rising and one of the Brick Oven. I personally like the Brick Oven better. I'm much more of a thin crust person, and Freschetta did not fail to impress me in that!

When we made the Brick Oven pizza, it turned out perfect. It is my favorite! But when we made the two Naturally Rising pizzas, they were a little soft. I left it in the oven for the amount of time it said on the box, but I think I should have left it in a little longer. Both of them were very good! I would definitely buy again!

Now how would you like to sample some of your own? I have two free Freschetta FlatBread coupons left to giveaway!
