Two proposals. One
giant dog. Reunited lovers.
Welcome to Glamour,
Arizona, where the holidays are never dull. Glamour may be a small town, but
the surprises keep coming.
Everybody’s looking
forward to Thanksgiving. Only Mac Sharma is a reluctant guest. Even as Anthony
and Dean make him feel welcome at the Carrino table, Mac feels awkward among
the close-knit group of friends. Life gets even more complicated when Conor Harvey
shows up in town.
Mac has been in love
with Conor since his university days. Too bad Conor broke his heart—right
before he fled to his hometown in Ireland without explanation. Conor is still a
wild artist and as sexy as Mac remembers. But they’re no longer kids. This
Thanksgiving, Mac must decide if he can once more open his heart to Conor.
In Glamour, life is
full of heartwarming moments. As the guys from Glamour learn, holiday magic
happens when love is all around.

Men and Food
I like men,
and I like to eat.
A novel revolving around hot men cooking
Thanksgiving dinner? You bet that appealed to me!
A Guy’s Thanksgiving has some fun with the food. One of
the early scenes is of a family barbeque because most men that I know in my
real life love to grill. My husband grills everything and anything. My favorite thing that he grills is pineapple.
It’s so sweet and yummy. In the novel, I enjoyed crafting a scene where all the
guys hang around the grill and tease each other.
I also had
some the characters who don’t normally cook being forced to do it. I did this
scene partly because I’m tough on my characters, and partly because I like the
idea of big muscular guys in aprons. LOL!
One of the
couples fail to make it to the big fancy Thanksgiving, and they have to make
due with turkey sandwiches (see the cover inspiration there). I’m not saying
which couple it is—hint ---they are not great in the kitchen, but they steam
things up in the bedroom. They get
through their own version of the Thanksgiving meal with takeout. But they have each other. And they have beer.
Finally, of
course, there is the Thanksgiving dinner in the novel. I love this meal. Not
only is pumpkin one of my all-time favorite foods (pumpkin anything----muffins,
pies, coffee), but also I truly love the message of Thanksgiving when it comes
to being grateful.
I’m grateful
to have completed this series. I’m grateful for my readers. I’m grateful for
anybody new taking a chance on me.
Food is a
great expression of love. As I say
goodbye to this series (*wipes eyes*), I’m glad I did it on an upbeat, holiday
note.

Well I guess you can say that both my hubby and I cook but really it's mainly me. A couple of reasons first is I am a SAHM so I have the time and secondly he HATES cooking lol. I've had to learn as we go along since neither of us paid attention to those things when our parents tried to teach when we were younger but those turn out to be fun. I mean who doesn't accidentally put cinnamon in spaghetti sauce?
ReplyDeleteI cook but only because I do it better. My son and my hubby each have certain meals they do well and then they cook.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
I mostly do the everyday cooking. As my hubby works longer days than I and often I'm home with the kids before him..
ReplyDeleteI do 99% of the cooking. I am home well before him, and I also know how to cook more dishes. He cooks well when he's motivated, but it's easier with me being home sooner and
ReplyDeleteWe all go to my brother and sister in laws for thanksgiving. She said she wanted to pick a holiday to cook and she chose this one..lol...I get easter since my mom doesn xmas
ReplyDeleteNoe that my Dad has come to live with me I cook every meal as he isn't able. Sometimes he will say let's go out for lunch and I'm all over that!
ReplyDeleteI do, because others can't be trusted in the kitchen. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I both cook a lot...I tend to do more desserts, but I've definitely gotten into more mains and sides over the past few years.
