I don’t mind getting older. Each decade has given me something great. BUT!!! And there is a huge “BUT”. I hate the fact that the treats I enjoyed as a kid are no longer tasty to me. When I was a kid I couldn’t wait to grow up and become an adult that could buy candy whenever I wanted. No adult would be able to tell me no. I planned on eating it before dinner, as dinner, and after dinner. Now as an adult the treats I planned on devouring are no longer appealing to me. Have you had a Hostess Cupcake lately? GROSS!!! What the heck is that texture in the filling? I stole a fun size Twix from my youngest basset’s candy bag from our camping trip. I found NO FUN in eating the little treat. Even worse, I was grateful it was a small size and not a full size. No.. I want food with a little more fiber in it. Fruit Loops? NOPE! Bran Flakes please. Growing up is a trap, and no matter how many times we warn our kids not to grow up too fast. They never listen. They will learn on their own like we all did. Peppermint Patties still rock though!

Following the deadly events of Afghanistan, Rex Dalton and his companion, the military dog, Digger, escape from Afghanistan and make their way into India. Rex knew that to stay alive he has to remain ‘dead’.

Life becomes an extended holiday, they have nowhere to call home and they’re enjoying every moment of it.
Rex and Digger are on their way to Kapal Mochan, India, where Rex intends to dip his hand into a sacred spring, a symbolic act of cleansing the soul and in his case to finally put his violent past behind him. When they pass by a public park, Digger starts shifting around in the front passenger seat and looking at Rex as if to say, “So, when are you going to stop and give a dog a chance to go to the toilet?”
It is the ideal place to let Digger out and he pulls off the road. While Rex is unpacking their lunch, he becomes aware of the presence of a strange old man who seems to have appeared out of thin air. After a few moments of awkwardness, the two of them to start talking, and before long Rex and Digger have an invitation to dinner with the old man and his wife.

Facing Reality
by Sienna Atwell
Genre: Romance | Humor & Entertainment
FREE for a limited time
I was desperate.
It was the only reason I agreed to go.
Because competing on a reality TV dating show? Just the thought of all those cameras had me breaking out in a cold sweat. Plus, my truly impressive collection of emotional baggage made the very idea of falling for a guy, while being filmed for all the world to see no less, laughable.
But to help my dad, I needed money. And Ever After had plenty.
All I had to do was play along for a few weeks. Smile for the cameras, go on a few dates, then get out with my money. Easy.
Falling in love was never part of the plan. But you know what they say about best laid plans…
Enter Ethan Miller.
The moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was going to cause me trouble.
His quiet confidence, his effortless charm, that sexy smirk. It all became a frustratingly irresistible distraction, pulling my focus from my one true objective.
But that wasn’t even the worst part. No, the most problematic thing about falling for Ethan Miller was that it all happened while I was competing for another man.
With an audience of millions, I suddenly had to choose: love or money?
