Romancing Blog Hop


My husband is the romantic type. I met him in high school, so yes we are high school sweet hearts =)  His romantic streak started early in our relationship. He would shower me with gifts, love, and attention <3

After he graduated (the year before me), he went away to Navy boot camp. After his training he was stationed five hours away. He would drive home to me almost every weekend, and on the way he'd stop at the convenience store by my house to buy me a red rose. 

While he no longer buys me flowers 20+ years later - because I forbid it (it's too expensive), my mother found a pewter tray with a rose. She bought it for us because she said it reminded her of all the red roses my husband used to bring me on his visits home.  So now we have a nice reminder (photo below).

Celebrate romance with us on this blog tour and you can win one of these THREE grand prizes just by entering a comment on the participating blogs. 

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
2nd Grand Prize: A $130 Amazon or B&N Gift Card
3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack!

***In addition I would like to offer a digital copy of my erotic novella, Let's Keep On Truckin' to one lucky commenter on my blog (I will be using random.org to choose the winner).


Blurb from “Let’s Keep On Truckin’” (By Laci Paige and Decadent Publishing, heat level 4).

Lily loves traveling on her job since no one can do it better than her. Being out on the open road gives her plenty of time to reflect and avoid unwanted attention, but somehow it always finds her....


When she comes across Ryder, first at a grocery store, then at a rest stop, sexual desire sparks and she knew she had to have him. If only her ex hadn't shown up, igniting a fantasy she never thought possible.



Seeing Alex in a whole new light, Lily realizes second chances are in order, but will she have to choose between the two men? Or could she be happy with both?







You as a reader can go to EACH blog listed below and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 180 times! Good Luck!

  7. Amazingly, you never grew bored with a man trying to please you! When I try this, women just think "friend zone" and I die another death.

  22. My husband and I do little romantic things for each other. Like buying a movie or book we know the other wants, or cooking a favorite meal just because. My husband tells me he loves me everyday because he said he wants me to always remember that I love him.

  24. Thanks for participating! Really like the hop so far!! I love reading, especially romance. I love reading contemporary, historical and erotic romance. I love the happy ending that is garenteed at the end. My favorite book is Lover Mine by JR Ward! I love John Matthew and Xhex. My favorite romantic moment was when my fiancé asked me to marry him! We meant two years ago right around when summer was ending when my friend and I went out for our last big night out before classes started again. I think it is romantic when he brings me flowers because no one else has ever done it! Thanks so much! Hope everyone else is having a great long weekend!!

  25. Romance to me is the little things...holding hands, opening doors, which my husband still does after 30 years. Or just calling me in the middle of the day from work for no reason.

  32. For me, romance is all about the trust and respect built between the characters. Since I write BDSM, these elements are very important.

  39. I don't let my husband buy me flowers, either. It's not so much the cost, but rather that I have a black thumb and they die the next day. I would rather have a book :)
