Comment posted Basketball Wives Star Gloria Govan Speaks On Break Up With Matt Barnes by Nicki.
I really dont know if this is fake or if this is real…Like sounds to me like he was cheating on her.. from that statement that kind of slipped out.
If this is for publicity… that is so pathetic…
And the money is gone…I think thats a factor as well.

Fraxel is billed as a 'revolutionary' fractional laser treatment that can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles and renew the skin's surface, giving a 'fresh, youthful glow'. That's why people like Jennifer Aniston never age.
More about Fraxel laser when you continue...
What is Fraxel?
The Fraxel laser treatment, offered by dermatologists, has been lauded as one of the most effective non-surgical anti-ageing therapies of recent years.
Used on the face, decollete and backs of the hands, it delivers pinpricks of laser energy into the skin, but leaves a network of undamaged skin in between, and is credited with doing everything from zapping pigmentation to boosting collagen and plumping skin.
Clinical Fraxel treatments come in three strengths, the lowest being Fraxel Re:fine, which is used for pigmentation, fine lines and skin resurfacing.
Fraxel claims to be 'proven laser technology' that can help reverse the visible effects of ageing, 'With Fraxel, change isn't drastic or scary – it's you, just younger,' the firm says.
They say that Fraxel is effective on:
- Fine lines and wrinkles – like crow's feet and brow lines
- Surface scarring – erasing effects of acne and other scarring
- Pigmentation – minimizing the appearance of age spots
- Sun damage – helping heal dangerous skin damage
- Actinic Keratosis (AK) – a common pre-cancerous skin condition
Is it in Nigeria? I'm just asking ni :-)

Designers missed a flaw!!!!
WOW! What a great fun beach show, but there's just one huge major flaw, with the stitching up under the toes. It stands up and rubs along the top of my toes. How in the world did this get by the designers?? I just don't understand that if someone actaully had to wear them to trial them, how did this one very anoying problem get by. I love the shoe, but very dissappointed in the fact that the stitching rubs the tops of my toes. Can't wear them along time before this becomes a real unpleasant experience. Agravates me, because other then that I really do love the shoe. Please, Please address this for future fans!!!!!

2011 was on for the record books in terms of killer video game releases: Portal 2, Batman: Arkham City, Minecraft, Dead Space 2, Deus Ex, Battlefield 3, NBA 2K12, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, just to name a very few. But, just as you (and your wallet) started sighing in relief, 2012 has barged in, regardless of how much you still have left to do in Skyrim. So hurry up and finish, 'cause it looks like there's a lot of great stuff on the way this year.
It's atypical to have so many high-profile games releasing so early in the year, but we aren't fighting it. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff, though? Especially if your bank account hasn't quite recovered from 2011, you've got some choices to make. We've looked at the immediate future (and a little beyond to help make your decisions easier).
Chances are you already know about the really big stuff coming out: Halo 4; Call of Duty: Whatever; Madden — we figure you don't need to be told about those yet again. But as a counterpoint, we've rounded up a baker's dozen of upcoming games (starting with Syndicate, above, which is out this week) that might be off your radar. We're excited, of course, about a few particularly choice titles that you're probably already looking forward to, so we're throwing those in too. Read on and enjoy, just don't hold us to the release dates: they've changed without explanation before and will do it again. But whenever these appear, it looks like it's going to be another great — and varied — year in gaming, whatever you have a taste for.
People and game lovers are now looking for more excitement and great gaming!!! There need to be more variations provided!

The DeadEnd™ Colorimetric TUNEL System end-labels the fragmented DNA of apoptotic cells using a modified TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling) assay. Biotinylated nucleotide is incorporated at the 3′-OH DNA ends using the enzyme Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase, Recombinant (rTdT). Horseradish-peroxidase-labeled streptavidin (Streptavidin HRP) is then bound to these biotinylated nucleotides, which are detected using the peroxidase substrate, hydrogen peroxide, and the stable chromogen, diaminobenzidine (DAB). Using this procedure, apoptotic nuclei are stained dark brown.

Product Description
"Inspirational publisher Shadow Mountain launches the G-rated Proper Romance line (romance at its "very best" and at its "cleanest", the introduction promises) with this delightful and completely engrossing Heyeresque Regency debut. The newly widowed Mr. Daventry sends his beautiful, elegant daughter Cecily to have a season in London and ships her "quiet and dull" twin, Marianne, to her grandmother's home in Bath. When Marianne is allowed to visit the beautiful Edenbrooke estate and reunite with Cecily, she is overjoyed, despite her anxiety about the social niceties she abhors. But her journey turns tumultuous and she unexpectedly meets Philip, a devastatingly handsome man with an irresistible sense of humor and a great many secrets. When Philip's true identity is revealed, Marianne must confront her fears as well as her growing affection for him. This beautiful love story will warm (only) the reader's heart." —Publishers Weekly
Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she'll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.
From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing.

Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

About the Author
Debut novelist Julianne Donaldson is a hopeless romantic. Her degree in English has only fueled her passion to write. She and her husband live in Salt Lake City, Utah, with their four children, but she takes every opportunity she can to travel the English countryside.
Chapter One
Bath, England, 1816
It was the oak tree that distracted me. I happened to glance up as I walked beneath its full, green canopy. The wind was tossing its leaves so that they twirled upon their stems, and at the sight I was struck by the realization that it had been much too long since I had twirled. I paused under the branches and tried to remember the last time I had felt the least need to twirl.
And that was when Mr. Whittles snuck up on me.
"Miss Daventry! What an unexpected pleasure!"
I started with surprise and looked around frantically for Aunt Amelia, who must have continued up the gravel path while I had stopped in the shade of the tree.
"Mr. Whittles! I—I did not hear you approach." I usually kept at least one ear tuned to the sounds of his pursuit. But the oak tree had distracted me.
He beamed at me and bowed so low that his corset creaked. His broad face was shiny with sweat, his thinning hair plastered across his head. The man was at least twice my age, and more ridiculous than I could bear. But of all his repulsive features, it was his mouth that held my horrified fascination. When he spoke, his lips flapped about so as to create a film of saliva that coated the edges of his lips and pooled in the corners of his mouth.
I tried not to stare while he said, "It is a glorious morning, is it not? In fact, I feel moved to say, 'Oh, what a glorious morning, oh, what a glorious day, oh, what a glorious lady that I met on my way!'" He bowed, as if expecting applause. "But I have something better than that ditty to share with you today. I have written a new poem, just for you."
I took a step in the direction where I suspected my aunt had gone. "My aunt would be very pleased to hear your poetry, Mr. Whittles. She is ahead of us but a few paces, I am sure."
"But, Miss Daventry, it is you I hope to please with my poetry." He moved closer to me. "It does please you, does it not?"
I hid my hands behind my back in case he attempted to grasp one. He had done that in the past, and it had been most unpleasant. "I fear I don't have the same appreciation for poetry that my aunt has . . ." I looked over my shoulder and sighed with relief. My spinster aunt was hurrying back along the path to find me. She was an excellent chaperone—a fact I had never truly appreciated until this moment.
"Marianne! There you are! Oh, Mr. Whittles. I didn't recognize you from a distance. My eyesight, you know . . ." She smiled at him with a glow of happiness. "Have you come with another poem? I do enjoy your poetry. You have such a way with words."
My aunt would be the perfect match for Mr. Whittles. Her poor eyesight softened the repulsive nature of his features. And since she had more hair than wit, she was not appalled by his absurdity, as I was. In fact, I had been trying for some time to turn Mr. Whittles's attention from me to her, but so far I had not been successful.
"I do have a new poem, as a matter of fact." He pulled a piece of paper out of his coat pocket and caressed it lovingly. He licked his lips, leaving a large drop of spittle hanging off the edge. I stared at it even though I didn't want to. It jiggled but did not fall off as he began to read.
"Miss Daventry is fair and true, with eyes of such a beautiful hue! Not quite green, never dull brown; they are the color of the sea, and they are round."
I tore my gaze away from the quivering drop of spittle. "That is such a nice idea. The color of the sea. But my eyes often look more gray than blue. I would enjoy a poem about my eyes looking gray." I smiled innocently.
"Y-yes, of course. I have thought many times myself that your eyes do look gray." He furrowed his brow for a moment. "Ah, I have it! I shall say that they are the color of a stormy sea, as a stormy sea often has the appearance of gray, as you know. That will be simple to change, and I will not have to rewrite the poem, as I have had to do the last five times."
"How clever of you," I muttered.
"Indeed," said Aunt Amelia.
"There is more. Miss Daventry is true and fair, I love the color of her hair! It shimmers in the candlelight, its amber hue, oh so bright."
"Well done," I said. "But I never knew my hair was an amber color." I looked at my aunt. "Did you ever happen to think that, Aunt Amelia?"
She tilted her head to one side. "No. I never have."
"You see? I am sorry to disagree with you, Mr. Whittles, but I do feel it is important to encourage your best work."
He nodded. "Did you prefer it when I compared your hair to the color of my horse?"
"Yes," I sighed. "That was infinitely better." I was growing tired of my game. "Perhaps you should go home immediately and rewrite it."
My aunt lifted a finger. "But I have often thought that your hair is the same color as honey."
"Honey! Yes, that is just the thing." He cleared his throat. "It shimmers in the candlelight, its honey hue, oh so bright." He grinned, displaying his entire wet mouth.
I swallowed convulsively. How did one person produce so much saliva?
"Now it is perfect. I shall read it for everyone at the Smiths' dinner party this Friday."
I cringed. "Oh, that would spoil it, Mr. Whittles. A poem as beautiful as this is best kept close to one's heart." I reached for the paper. "May I have it, please?" He hesitated, then put it in my hand. "Thank you," I said with real sincerity.
Aunt Amelia then asked Mr. Whittles about his mother's health. As he began to describe the festering sore on his mother's foot, my stomach churned. It was simply too revolting. To distract myself, I stepped away from them and gazed up again at the oak tree that had caught my attention earlier.
It was a grand tree, and it made me miss the country with a fresh longing. The leaves were still twirling in the breeze, and I asked myself the question that had given me pause moments before. When was the last time I had twirled?
Twirling had once been a habit of mine, though Grandmother would have called it a bad habit, had she known of it. It had kept company with my other habits, like sitting in my orchard for hours at a time with a book or bounding across the countryside on the back of my mare.
It must have been at least fourteen months since I had last twirled. Fourteen months since I was taken from my home, fresh from grieving, and deposited on my grandmother's doorstep in Bath while my father took himself off to France to grieve in his own way.
Fourteen months—fully two months longer than I had initially feared I would be left in this stifling town. Although I had never been given a reason to believe it, I had hoped that a year of grieving separately would be punishment enough. And so, two months ago, on the anniversary of my mother's death, I had waited all day for my father's return. I had imagined, over and over, how I would hear his knock at the door, and how my heart would leap within my chest. I had imagined how quickly I would run to throw open the door. I had imagined him smiling at me as he announced that he had come to take me home.
And yet, on that day two months ago, he had not come. I had spent the night sitting up in bed with a candle burning, waiting to hear the knock at the door that would signal my release from my gilded cage. But morning dawned, and the knock never sounded.
I sighed as I looked up at the green leaves dancing in the wind. I had not had a reason to twirl in such a long time. And nothing to twirl about at age seventeen? That was a problem indeed.
"Oozing." Mr. Whittles's voice recalled my attention. "Oozing right out."
Aunt Amelia looked a little green, and she held a gloved hand over her mouth. I decided it was time to intervene. Taking her arm, I said to Mr. Whittles, "My grandmother is expecting us. You must excuse us."
"Of course, of course," he said, bowing again so that his corset creaked loudly. "I hope to see you soon, Miss Daventry. Perhaps at the Pump Room?"
Of course he would suggest the social hub of Bath for another "chance" encounter. He knew my habits well. I smiled politely and made a mental note to avoid taking tea at the Pump Room for the next week at least. Then I pulled Aunt Amelia toward the broad green lawn that separated the gravel path from the Royal Crescent. The building curved in a graceful half-circle of butter-golden stones, like a pair of outstretched arms ready for an embrace. Grandmother's apartment within the Royal Crescent was among the finest Bath could offer. But luxury could not make up for the fact that Bath was town living at its worst. I missed my life in the country so desperately that I ached for it day and night.
I found Grandmother in her drawing room reading a letter, occupying her chair as if it were a throne. She still wore mourning black. At my entrance, she looked up and let her critical gaze sweep over me. Her eyes were sharp and gray and missed nothing.
"Where have you been all morning? Scampering around the countryside like some farmer's brat again?"
The first time I had heard this question, I had quaked in my shoes. Now I smiled, for I knew this game we played with each other. I understood that Grandmother gloried in a good verbal sparring match at least once a day. I also understood, although I would never charge her with it, that her gruff exterior masked what she considered the greatest of all weaknesses—a soft heart.
"No, I only do that on odd days, Grandmother. I spend my even days learning how to milk cows." I bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead. She gripped my arm for a moment. It was the closest she came to affection.
"Humph. I suppose you think yourself funny," she said.
"Actually, I don't. It takes a lot of practice to learn how to milk a cow. I find myself horribly inept at this point."
I saw the quivering muscles around her mouth that meant she was trying to conceal a smile. She twitched at her lace shawl and motioned for me to sit in the chair next to hers.
I peered at the stack of mail on the side table. "Did I receive any mail today?"
"If you are asking about that care-for-nothing father of yours, then no, you did not."
I looked away to hide my disappointment. "He is probably traveling right now. Perhaps he does not have the opportunity to write."
"Or perhaps he has forgotten about his children in his self-centered grieving," she muttered. "Handing his responsibilities off to someone who never asked for them, especially in her old age."
I flinched; some of Grandmother's barbs were sharper than others. This was an especially painful topic, as I hated the thought of being a burden, and yet I had nowhere else I might go.
"Do you want me to leave?" I could not help asking.
She scowled at me. "Don't act like a ninny. I have enough of that to endure with Amelia." She folded the letter she had been reading. "I have had more bad news about that nephew of mine."
Ah, the Nefarious Nephew. I should have guessed. Nothing put Grandmother in a sour mood as surely as hearing about the latest scandal involving her heir, Mr. Kellet. He was a rake and a scoundrel and had gambled away all of his own money while waiting to inherit Grandmother's sizeable fortune. My twin sister, Cecily, thought he was dashing and romantic; I thought him anything but. It was one of many things that she and I disagreed about.
"What has Mr. Kellet done this time?" I asked.
"Nothing fit for your innocent ears." She sighed, then spoke in a softer voice. "I believe I may have made a mistake, Marianne. He will come to ruin. The damage he has inflicted on the family name is great, and irreparable." She raised a trembling hand to her brow, looking frail and weary.
I stared at her in surprise. Grandmother had never exhibited such vulnerability before me. It was most unlike her. I leaned toward her and took her hand in mine. "Grandmother? Are you unwell? Is there something I may get for you?"
She shook off my hand. "Don't coddle me, child. You know I have no patience for such behavior. I am simply tired."
I bit back a smile. She was well enough, if she could respond like that. But her reaction was unprecedented. She could usually dismiss Mr. Kellet's bad behavior and remember why he had always been a favorite of hers. (I thought she liked him because he was not afraid of her.) But I had never seen her so worried, nor so despondent.
Grandmother gestured at the pile of letters on the table. "There is a letter for you there. From London. Read it and leave me alone for a few minutes."
I picked up the letter and walked to the window, letting the sunlight fall on the familiar handwriting. When Papa had brought me to Bath, he had found an even more suitable situation for my twin sister, Cecily. She had been staying with our cousin Edith in London for the past fourteen months and seemed to have enjoyed every moment of it.
For being twins, Cecily and I were remarkably different. She excelled me in every womanly art. She was much more beautiful and refined. She played the pianoforte and sang like an angel. She flirted easily with gentlemen. She liked town life and had dreams of marrying a man with a title. She was ambitious.
My ambitions were quite different from hers. I wanted to live in the country, to ride my horse, to sit in an orchard and paint, to take care of my father, to feel that I belonged, to do something useful and good with my time. But most of all, I wanted to be loved for who I was. My ambitions seemed quiet and dull compared to Cecily's. Sometimes I feared that I seemed quiet and dull next to Cecily.
Lately, all I heard from Cecily was about her dearest friend Louisa Wyndham and her handsome and titled eldest brother, whom Cecily was determined to marry. Cecily had never told me his name—he was simply "the brother" in her letters. I supposed she was afraid of her letters being seen by someone less discreet than I. Perhaps it was my maid, Betsy, that she was worried about, who was, after all, the most incurable gossip I had ever known.
I had not told Cecily this, but I had recently asked Betsy the name of the eldest Wyndham son, and she had discovered that it was Charles. Sir Charles and Lady Cecily had a nice ring to it, I thought. Of course it followed that if Cecily chose to marry him, then marry him she would. She had never failed to get something she really wanted.
Before I broke the seal on her letter, I closed my eyes and made a silent wish: Please don't let her go on and on about dear Louisa and her handsome brother again. I had nothing against the Wyndhams—after all, our mothers had been close friends as children, and I had just as much a claim on the acquaintance as Cecily—but I had heard of little else for the past two months, and I was beginning to wonder if I was as important to her as the Wyndhams were. I opened the letter and read.
Dearest Marianne,
I am so sorry to hear that Bath feels like a prison to you. I cannot comprehend the feeling myself, loving London as I do. Perhaps as twins I received all of the civilization in my heart while you received all of nature in yours. We are certainly not divided evenly in this instance, are we?
(Incidentally, as your sister, I can forgive you for writing things like, "I would rather have sunshine and wind and sky adorn my head than a handsome bonnet." But, please, I beg of you, do not say such things to others. I fear they would find you quite shocking.)
Knowing of your current state of misery, I shall not bother you with an account of all that I have done this past week. I will say only this: my first season in Town is as diverting as I had hoped it would be. But I will not try your patience today with saying more than that, lest you tear up this letter before reading the important news I am sending you.
My dearest friend Louisa Wyndham has invited me to stay with her at her estate in the country. I understand it is very grand. It is called Edenbrooke and is situated in Kent. We leave for the country in a fortnight. But here is the important part: you are invited as well! Lady Caroline has extended the invitation to include you, as we are both daughters of the "dearest friend" of her childhood.
Oh, say you will come, and we shall have the grandest time imaginable. I might even need your help in my quest to become "Lady Cecily" (doesn't that sound grand?), for, of course, the brother will be there, and this is my chance to secure him. Besides, it will give you an opportunity to meet my future family.
With devotion,
Hope gripped me so hard it left me breathless. To be in the country again! To leave Bath and its horrid confines! To be with my sister after being apart for so long! It was too much to take in. I read the letter again, slowly this time, savoring each word. Of course Cecily did not really need my help to secure Sir Charles's affections. I could offer her nothing that she could not do better herself when it came to courting. But this letter was proof that I was still important to her—that she hadn't forgotten me. Oh, what a sister! This could be the solution to all of my problems. This could give me a reason to twirl again.
"Well? What does your sister say?" Grandmother asked.
I turned toward her eagerly. "She has invited me to go with her to the Wyndhams' estate in Kent. She leaves from London in a fortnight."
Grandmother pursed her wrinkled lips, gazing at me with a speculative look, but said nothing. My heart dropped. She would not refuse to let me go, would she? Not when she knew what it would mean to me?
I pressed the letter to my chest as my heart ached at the thought of being denied this unexpected blessing. "Will you give your permission?"
She looked at the letter she still held—the one bearing the bad news about Mr. Kellet. Then she tossed the letter onto the table and sat up straight in her chair.
"You may go, but only on one condition. You must alter your wild ways. No running about out of doors all day. You must learn to behave like an elegant young lady. Take lessons from your sister; she knows how to behave well in society. I cannot have my heir behaving like a wild child. I will not be embarrassed by you, as I have been by that nephew of mine."
I stared at her. Her heir? "What do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what you think I mean. I am disinheriting Mr. Kellet and bestowing the bulk of my fortune on you. At this time, your portion amounts to roughly forty thousand pounds."

Charming, Engaging Read
by Marianne - reviewed on March 05, 2012
Well-crafted book that does exactly what the author desired--includes the charm and romance of the regency era, but moves the story along more quickly without sacrificing the characters or good dialogue. Marianne is an intriguing, admirable, yet conflicted main character whose twin sister Cecily is the complete opposite. Though you only get brief glimpses into Cecily's character, I love the ironies flowing through this relationship and the parallels the author draws between their mother's relationship with Lady Caroline and themselves.

This book in phenomenal. For a long time, about seven years, The Secret Journal of Brett Colton was my favorite book. This topped it. That takes a lot. I would LOVE for this to be a movie. Just reading it makes me feel like I've seen it already! So wonderful.
A MUST-read!!

Edenbrooke. The most refreshing and deliciously clean romance novel I have read in a while. Couldn't put it down - read it in less than 24 hours. Inspired by such titles as Pride and Prejudice, North and South, and Emma. But a much easier read. By Julianne Donaldson.
Better than Pride and Prejuidice
by Carol-Lynn - reviewed on May 14, 2012
As a grandmother (who works in a middle school library) I have read lots of wonderful romances. This is one of the sweetest. I love the Regency period with the British manners and fashions. It made me smile and held up to my standards of uplifting literature. There was no "it was really good except that one bad part". Read it one day and skimmed over it again the next. Loved it.
If you love Jane Austen, you will LOVE this one!

I just finished reading Edenbrook and I absolutely loved it! As a fan of Jane Austen and romantic period novels, and this is one for the charts! I saw shades of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion all wrapped up in to a captivating, riveting story. And it was incredibly romantic and clean! I was so enthralled with it that I read it in two sittings! This is definitely one that I will recommend to my book club readers. Well done!
Great romantic novel!

Ok, so I'm a guy. And this isn't the kind of book I usually pick up to read. However, when I had the chance to read a pre-release copy of EDENBROOKE, I found myself enthralled in a very well-written story packed with great imagery, action, suspense, and . . . . obviously, romance. Knowing that I was on to something, I sent my copy to a daughter in another city. In a few days I received an e-mail from her that read (and this is her real e-mail): "Darn you, dad...I was up until 3:15 in the morning finishing Edenbrooke! I loved, loved, loved it! Thanks for a fast quick really good book. My kids all get mad at me becasue I don't read as much as them and they have all these books that they want me to read. Well for a mom of 5 kids. it's hard to find the time, but I made time for this one! Thanks so much. Love you. Have a wonderful day." I think her note says it all!

Move Over Jane Austen! New from Shadow Mountain comes a new novel, a romance, that will make you swoon! Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. Marianne Daventry is far from a proper miss having always lived in the shadow of her beautiful twin sister Cecily. When their father leaves the country Marianne is forced into living a miserable existence with her grouchy grandmother, while Cecily is lucky to be living a life of fun and frolic with their cousin. When the girls are both invited to spend some time at a luxurious estate, Cecily is sure she is there to meet her future husband...while Marianne is hopeful for peace away from her watchful grandmother. After a terrifying encounter with a highwayman, Marianne is thrust into an adventure she didn't plan...and meets the handsome and mysterious Phillip, which was most unplanned.

A Book to add to my repeat-offender list!
by Rachelle - reviewed on June 09, 2012
I absolutely loved this book. Julie incorporated the perfect mix of humor, intrigue, and romance to weave this tale set in the regency era (think Jane Austen). The story is fresh, the characters are beautifully written and I love Marianne Daventry's personality. The hero has great depth and is so much more than a handsome face. I don't usually read a book more than once because there are just too many books! But this one has earned that right and I look forward to reading it again, just as soon as I can get it back--everyone in my family is reading it!
10+ stars! Five stars is too low!
by Nada - reviewed on February 24, 2012
I've read lots of period romance novels such as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, Lorna Doone, Pride and Prejudice, etc. This one tops them all! Be prepared to NOT sleep and NOT eat as you read this amazingly captivating novel. Believe me, you will carry it everywhere and try to cram in scraps of reading whenever you have a second (yes at the stoplights!). You won't be able to put it down. The plot is spellbinding and the writing is. . . well, marvelous!! If they allowed for bonus review points I would give it a 10+ out of 5. I have four daughters and EACH will soon have this book.

Quick fun read
by Customer - reviewed on August 06, 2012
This is not on the same level as Jane Austen (sorry!). However that said, the story was engaging. I re-read it to catch subtle details in the story that were very sweet. There were a few corny parts that kind of distracted from the story for me. It seemed to wind up very quickly at the end, particularly with her sister. Seemed a little too "neat". Again, that said, still a fun, quick, read.

by Sheila - reviewed on July 13, 2012
I LOVED this book! It has one of my favorite romances I have read in a long time! The characters, Marianne and Philip's relationship, reminds me a lot of Mr.Darcy's and Elizabeth's from Pride and Prejudice; except the male protagonist is a lot nicer. His sense of humor drew me to him from the very beginning. I read this book in less than 12 hours. This is fast when you take into account I was also doing laundry, cleaning house, blogging and taking care of my kids. I love a romance with sexual tension (without the sex), intrigue, strong and well written characters, and a beautiful setting as Edenbrooke. This book is Historical Fiction at it's best! I can promise you, once you read this book, you will be recommending it to all of your friends.
delightful diversion from modern life
by Nicole - reviewed on June 05, 2012
Other than a few silly implausible scenes Julianne Donaldson has written an entertaining romance. Phillip is the dashing hero we'd all love to have fall for us. Marianne with her independent strong willed ways torn between family loyalty and a love she wasn't expecting is a heroin we can admire. I look forward to reading more by Ms. Donaldson.
A Great Love Story!!
by Stephanie - reviewed on March 02, 2012
Wow, I really enjoyed this Jane Austen-esque love story! I loved the main character and really felt like I could relate to her in many ways. I thought she was really well written because she felt real and when she was in pain, I really felt it. I loved Phillip (the love interest) and thought he was a great character. And I loved the setting, I want to live at Edenbrooke! I found myself smiling throughout a lot of the book, and just thought it was a really well done love story. Definitely recommended for those who like a good love story!

I completely fell head-over-hills for Edenbrooke. Written in the style of a Jane Austin romance, this charming story is sure to sweep you off your feet and leave your heart fluttering. The engaging characters are charismatic and witty; the story is wisked along by the subtle twists in the plot and the promise of a genuine first love. I loved every minute of it and look forward to it being available in the stores!

If you are a lover of Jane Austen, or just a lover of the Regency period, or if you don't like either one at all, you will love this book. It is laugh-out-loud hilarious, serious, mysterious, and so romantic. Three chapters in I knew this was a book I had to own so I could read it over and over again. I felt like I was taken back, walking through Edenbrooke and twirling (you would have to read the book to understand. Absoulutely loved it!

Engaging Love Story
by Customer - reviewed on May 13, 2012
Twins, Cecily and Marianne Daventry lost their mother 14 months ago and their father has Miss Cecily stay with Lady Caroline in London while Marianne must reside with her grandmother in Bath. Marianne soon receives an invitation to visit Edenbrooke along with Cecily, who dreams of marrying the heir of Edenbrooke. On her way to the county estate, Marianne finds herself in a few unexpected encounters. Lovely romance story set in the Regency era. The book contains some funny dialogue and very well developed and interesting main characters. The reason for the four stars is that I really didn't care for Cecily and think some secondary characters could have a little more depth to them. Look forward to reading Donaldson's future books!
A book you can't put down until you have finished.

I love Jane Austen and have all of her books, though I have often felt that her stories needed more conversation and interaction between her main characters. Edenbrooke does that for me. There is plenty of both so that the reader can really feel the connection between the characters falling in love and what they love about each other. It leaves you in anticipation and hope for them. And of course, there is the heart wrenching mis-understanding moment that leaves you aching for the beloved characters. The humor is more than delightful and will leave you laughing out loud. I absolutely loved it and recommend it to all my friends and family.
Philip may replace Mr. Darcy for me!

I loved this fun, clean romance. It definitely felt Jane Austen-esque and I loved that! I was lucky enough to read an advance copy and can't wait to recommend this book to everyone. This is one to enjoy over and over. Just one of the best, fast reads I've read in a long time. I think it's a winner!
Definitely a keeper!

I absolutely love this book. I read this book in one day! I just couldn't put it down. I haven't found a book worth reading in such a long time, I think I was hungry for something just like this. I have actually read this at least 6 times since I purchased it 2 months ago. It has a beautiful love story, it's written well and has great characters. Love, love, love.
visually beautiful, clever dialog, sweet romance.

Although I am not a true romantic, I enjoyed this fast paced and sweet English romance. If you can overlook the winking and blushing on every other page you will enjoy the clever and natural dialogue, the seemingly familiar characters and the beautiful imagery.
Loved this book
by Mindy - reviewed on May 02, 2012
This book is an absolute delight. I loved everything about it. Especially the twirling. :) I loved Marianne. My heart would break for her at times, but it was all worth it in the end. Phillip is a dream, he was my favorite. He would light up the pages. I laughed out loud at times, and smiled a lot while reading Edenbrooke. Not only is this a great romance story, there is some page-turning suspense as well. The author did an excellent job with the setting, and language of the characters. I felt very regent while reading this. :) 5 out of 5 stars. This is the Julianne's first book, and she did an excellent job. I can't wait to read more from her.
Edenbrooke doesn't sit on my shelf. It changes hands with an eager waiting list.
by Mj - reviewed on May 02, 2012
With a beautiful setting and relatable characters, Donaldson pulls her readers into Edenbrooke with ease. This is a novel for lovers of the Regency period, Jane Austen, or of witty romances. Phillip has permanently replaced Mr. Darcy for me seeing as A)I'm not an Austen fan and B)his humor is addicting and infuriating in a way that suggests that he and Gilbert Blythe would make fast friends. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a clean romance, a fast read, a good laugh, and a book to share with their friends. Buy a second copy. You might not get your first one back.

I coudn't stop reading it untill I finish it.
Very good
by Customer - reviewed on June 10, 2012
I bought this book at the recommendation of the salesperson at the store. I took it with me a recent trip to Europe. I set it aside until my flight home from Zurich to DC. It was a long flight and I had been fighting jet lag for days. As I started to read the book, the story unfolded. I couldn't put it down. I fought the urge to fall asleep, due to the jet lag. In fact, I couldn't put it down or fall asleep until I finished reading it. I found the story very well written, interesting and compelling. I recommended it to my teenage daughter as soon as I got home. Well done!

In addition to being publisher in Ahwatukee, he is the operations director for 1013 Arizona, overseeing the company's physical assets in Ahwatukee, Tempe, Chandler, the West Valley and Tucson.
"We place tremendous value on our position in the communities we serve to provide the best local news and advertising available across all our media platforms," said Randy Miller, president of 1013 Communications. "Mike brings an exceptional background to his new role which will foster the kind of growth and development that will benefit our communities tremendously. Having Mike's full-time local leadership of all our products will be critical for us to continue to build on our relationships in the communities with our readers and advertisers."

"I can't wait to learn more about each of the communities we serve and in turn how we can grow together," Miller said. "My wife, Lobelia, and I have already fallen in love with the sense of community and family here, especially since we are expecting our first child. We know that this is going to be the perfect place to start our own family."

Luke Hochevar's descent continues.
Hochevar, the first overall selection in the 2006 draft, was the Kansas City Royals' Opening Day starter in 2011. He went 8-16 with a 5.73 ERA in 2012, and he'll be in the bullpen in 2013.
Hochevar entered spring training as a leading candidate to be the fifth starter, but before the Ides of March, he was told he was going to the bullpen. Left-hander Bruce Chen and right-hander Luis Mendoza remain the top candidates to earn the final rotation slot, although manager Ned Yost keeps saying left-hander Will Smith and rookie right-hander Yorando Ventura are still in the mix.
At the beginning of camp, Yost said Hochevar has the talent to be a 15-game winner in the majors, but he continues to struggle.
Yost attempted to put a positive spin on Hochevar's failure to claim a rotation slot.
"I think it makes us a better team, it makes us a stronger team, it gives us a better chance to win every day," the manager said. "With three weeks left, I want to get (Hochevar) acclimated to that role."
Hochevar has made just four relief appearances in the majors and only one since 2007. He's made 128 big-league starts. The 29-year-old right-hander has a 38-59 career record with a 5.39 ERA.
"Hochevar has yet to have major success, but has potential to have major success," Yost said.
Hochevar's spring training appearances have attracted a ton of scouts, but his $4.56 million salary for 2013 makes it tougher to deal him unless the Royals want to eat some of the money.
"I'm willing to take the ball in any position that I can to help the club," Hochevar said. "That's the bottom line, whether it is starting or relieving or whatever it is. My role is not important, what's important is when I take the ball, I'm helping the club."

Internet censorship is going to a vote in the Senate on January 24th (known as PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House). While Senators are in their home states for the January recess, we need to flood their public meetings and offices with our concerns about the bill. Learn More
From Mike Lee on his FB page:
PIPA has yet to make it to the Senate floor. When the bill went through the Judiciary Committee (on which I sit), I made clear that, if it reached the floor it in its current form, I could not support it. PIPA is a moving target at this point because some of the bill's supporters, recognizing that many Americans are concerned with some of its provisions, are considering making adjustments to alleviate those concerns. My staff and I are working with the bill's sponsors to encourage them to make the necessary changes. Unless those changes are made, I will vote against PIPA..It looks like you're new here.

OKSay something about yourself!
Absolutely without guile; open, frank, visual. What a life, what a legacy, and what a g-g-generation!
To put my 5* rating in perspective: as a very young teen, I was indifferent about The Who, couldn't name more than 3 songs they performed, wasn't a fan of the on-stage performance art-ish antics, and thought Tommy was mildly entertaining thanks to Elton John and Tina Turner; I'd rather have been listening to my Hendrix or Zeppelin LPs. So, my interest in this book surprised me; it was purely from seeing this very recognizable man recently on TV, promoting his bio, and being struck by his level of sincerity and vulnerability -- an almost apologetic demeanor without any of the ususal celeb braggadocio and self-aggrandizement that ruined some of the music celeb bios I've tried to get through (because yeah, we know, you're a bad A$$). Could that possibly be that rock star that used to do that windmill thing, smash his guitar, and strut with the royals of British rock, long live sex drugs and rock and roll? I was not some former fan, hoping to read Townshend's bio and flash-back to the glorious days when *I'd walk over you to see The Who.*
That perceived candor was accurate; I doubt it's possible to lay yourself so bare, as Townshend has done here, and be duplicitous. The history is fascinating and it reads like a grand timeline of rock and roll (which he calls *the absolute vehicle for self-destruction*). Townshend can probably go head to head with Keith Richards and his stories, but you don't get the sense that you are gathered around a pub table being regaled with wild rock star adventures -- though there are plenty of tales included. Instead, there is a kind of tolerance and wisdom that distances Townshend from being led by his talent to mastering his talent. His insecurities and self-doubts are bravely admitted, his love of family and friends obvious. I liked that he spoke about his achievements without bragging, aware of his talent as a gift--not a free pass to be an arse.
Once in a while an author connects to the reader and invites them into his life, it becomes intimate and real, like a confessional, and that connection is a gift borne of talent. Townshend's writing, and choice to narrate the book himself, put this book in that category. If I'd paid attention to those lyrics years ago, I probably wouldn't have been so surprised by his depth and talent. Like the man, this book is the real thing, and the product of a life lived hard...and well. The best celeb bio I've read to date (including the great Steve Jobs bio)--and remember, this is a man I had no interest in before. I'll have to go back and listen to The Who (with my *mature* ears) to see if I am yet a fan of the music, but I can say without any doubt I sure like Pete Townshend the man.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
First of all, let me say that "Twelfth Night" is wonderful Shakespeare. It's great for an introduction to the bard: the story is easy to follow, the language is beautiful, there's music and comedy, and the characters are very appealing.
The format here is the difference. There's an introduction, with background on the play as well as a brief biography of Shakespeare and his times. Then, the play begins. A narrator interrupts the action every few lines to re-phrase in "plain English" what's been said. This sort of interpretation is helpful to newcomers to the play, but it can also be quite distracting and, understandably, disrupts the flow of the production. For the best experience of the play itself, I think the way to proceed would be to listen first to a version without the commentary, then to this.
The commentary is quite good, I think. The explanations are presented clearly, and there is a distinction between information that is historical and that which is purely speculative (as much of Shakespeare's personal history must be).
This approach to "Twelfth Night" might be an excellent way to prepare for seeing a production of the play and is of interest to anyone wanting to experience it in considerable depth. Like others in the series, "Twelfth Night: Shakespeare Appreciated" is an obviously well-researched and well-executed effort. The experience might, however, require more commitment than the casual playgoer/reader wants.

This place is amazing. The wait staff treats you as if you and your party are the only table in the restaurant. There are so many choices to choose from, its a bit overwhelming but don't be afraid to ask to your server to explain anything - they answer every question!
Just something to note: The price is now $295 a person, with service included. Drinks and tax are not included.
I would recommened making an early reservation because the meal usually takes about 3 - 4 hours.
Great Food & Service. Nice restaurant with excellent service! Gorgeous food! Worth the value and highly recommended! Kindly reminder that reservation should make exactly one month in advance @ 10am NYC time!
The BEST in THE WEST. Amazing service, dishes, servers are so nice so knowledgable they make it fun! beautfiul view, stunning decor, I think it might just be NY s best rest. Its devine. Go there. Go there with someone important and or who you love. It a sure experiece!!!
Amazing Experience.
My Uncle took me here as a nice celebrate for graduating form CUliary School. The day started out with a personalized menu, and the host knowing exactly why we were there.
The menu and food were beyond words, so I'll leave it at AMAZING. I didn't want the meal to end. Each couse was a surprise on a plate and made me happy. Simply amazing.
After, they provided me with a tour of the kitchen, since I could apprecaite the line and the back workings. Such a great day, really nice staff.
An unhappy and unfurtunate event. I`m Brazilian was in New York last April. On 28th . I went to Per Se for dinner with my sister, my mom and some friends and we had a wonderful time. Unfortunately I forgot my wallet with all my documents and $ 800 on the table. I realized that on the other day in the morning and I called the restaurant straight away and I was told my wallet was there. When I came back to pick it up, I could see that all the money had disappeared. I didn´t even have time to complain as the door were closed behind me and nobody answered my calls. I could only contact the manager at the end of the afternoon when he apologized and said he couldn´t do anything, just offered me a free dinner. I felt miserable and shocked, I understand I was in a big city, which can be dangerous and violent, however I know I had left my wallet there and the money was stolen there. What made me even more frustrated are the way I was treated and the quality of the place, also known as an expensive restaurant. The whole bill was $ 2.150.
One of those restaurants you have to try.
Managed to get a reservation at Per Se 1 month in advance. I was quite surprise as The French Laundry requires at least a 2 month lead time. I'm wondering if this is just because of the poor economy.
The food was great but I had expected a bit more from a 3 Michelin restaurant. Maybe its because they change their menu everyday (?).
Whilst beautiful, I found the location a bit strange being in the Time Warner building. I would have thought Thomas Keller would choose a quaint neighborhood Uptown.
Excellent. The service was excellent, with each dish served, the wait staff was friendly and accomodating. The food was great. At the end of the tasting menu, they displayed what must have been a box of beautiful homade chocolates and they were able to name the filling of each one. They provided a goodie bag to take home and even offered to out in a good word at their sister restaurant in Napa Valley, Laundry, should you want to try that location. The place was clean, I didnt sit there for hours waiting for each course. The food was delicate, tasty and what I would call woth effort. The dishes were prepared with the techinal standard you would expect from a high end restaurant.

One of the most fun and interesting things about business web design and online marketing is that it's a bit like fashion or art: Every once in a while, something that's been around for a long time comes back in a new form, and more effective than ever. We've already seen it in pay per click advertising, search engine marketing, and social media.
Now, the same thing is happening with barcodes... only this time, they're just a little bit different. Make no mistake, though, marketing through QR codes can be a wonderful way to attract more buyers, and more sales.
If you haven't tried QR codes before, or aren't entirely sure what they are, here's what you need to know: Although they look somewhat like traditional barcodes, QR codes are actually small images that customers can photograph or scan with their smart phones. Once they do, the QR code takes them to a specific Internet destination – one that you have specified.
In that way, QR codes bridge the gap between print advertising, mobile business web design, and online marketing. Where can QR codes be placed? There aren't many limits, since they can work almost anywhere that your customers can take a picture of them or scan them in their smart phones. That could include a billboard, your storefront window, on shelf space, on your business card and pamphlets, or in a print advertisement, to name just a few examples.
What makes QR code so exciting, however, isn't just that they can go almost anywhere, but that they can be used for almost anything. Here are just a few of the ways successful marketers have already put QR codes to use:
To offer shoppers further product info. Let's say your customer is looking around your store, and you would like them to have more information on the featured product. Simply place a QR code next to it, and they can find all the relevant details online in seconds.
To offer a coupon. Likewise, a QR code placed at the front of your retail shop, or in a print ad, could offer users an instant coupon or special web price. That's great for sales, and also allows you to track the QR code's effectiveness.
To take customers straight to online reviews. If you want shoppers to see how popular your products have been with others, simply use a QR code to show them the relevant reviews. Again, it only takes a second, and can make the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity.
To let customers compare prices. If you have the lowest prices, then don't keep it a secret. Your QR code could take visitors to a page showing your prices next to your competitors'.
To download a document. If you have the kind of product or service that can be promoted with a special report, article, flier, or other document, why not use QR code advertising to let customers access it or download it?
To sign up for something. From newsletters to events, QR codes are perfect for bringing customers to registration pages and sign-up sheets, and to your social media pages to get more "like"s, "follows", network connections, "subscribes", etc.
These are just a few uses for QR codes, and there are probably thousands more that exist, and thousands of new ideas currently being investigated. Their use is really just beginning to evolve.
Owners of all size businesses should have a mobile marketing plan that takes advantage of the tremendous opportunities available in the mobile technology environment. If you would like to sit down and discuss these opportunities, you should contact WSI since we have been helping small and medium size businesses grow through professionally developed mobile and online strategies for many years.

Hi Jessi *waves*
Congrats on 200+ followers! :) I can't believe I haven't found your blog before - it's soooo pretty! Well, now that I'm here I will surely be stalking you (just sayin~).
As for the book.. I would have to go for 40 Things I Want To Tell you or Pandemonium. I was just sitting at Chapters today, reading 40 Things I want to Tell You - I got to 50-something pages and was DYING to read on, but my hubs said: ENOUGH! Time to go home WOMAN! boohooo ;( So yeah, I am keeping my fingers crossed here!
Stop by my blog to enter some of my giveaways, please! I have a giveaway running for Starters, Where It Began, and some other awesome books <3
Hope to see you around, and here's to 2000+ more followers!
