Beauty and a Book Giveaway

December 18, 2020

Happy Holiday Season to All! I’m here with a book review and giveaway for you. This post is part of the amazing Beauty and Book group that I belong to. Today we’re giving away another book by the wonderful author Jenna Jaxon. It’s a great time for this Christmas book too! This book is part of Ms Jaxon’s series called “The Widow’s Club” and it’s the latest addition (book 5 of 5). The series is about a group of friends who were widowed after Waterloo. The books in the series can be read in order you choose or they can be read alone. You can read my review of book number 4 in the series in this post.

Everyone needs to read a good book on a balcony in Hawaii!

 

About the author:

Jenna Jaxon photo

“Jenna Jaxon is a best-selling author of historical romance, writing in a variety of time periods because she believes that passion is timeless. She has been reading and writing historical romance since she was a teenager. A romantic herself, Jenna has always loved a dark side to the genre, a twist, suspense, a surprise. She tries to incorporate all of these elements into her own stories.”

A Widow's Christmas Surprise book

This book is described as follows:

“The death of her husband has thrown Lady Maria Kersey’s future into doubt – and her heart into the arms of a man she cannot have. But Christmas with the Widows’ Club will bring choices – and surprises – that may change all her holidays to come . . .

Maria just gave birth to her first child, a beautiful daughter—but the event is shrouded in sorrow.  A month earlier, Maria’s husband, Lord Kersey, was killed in a duel under compromising circumstances. Worse, Maria’s failure to provide a male heir has stripped her of any hope of an inheritance. Scorned by the ton, one of her few allies is her late husband’s steward, Hugh Granger. Hugh is everything her husband was not—warm, charming—and penniless. . . .

Hugh has fallen desperately in love with Maria, but has little to offer but comfort. As their attraction becomes impossible to resist, Maria flees to London to spend Christmas with her dearest friends, a group of widows who lost their own husbands in the Battle of Waterloo. Little does she know the holidays will reveal a twist of fate she never expected—proving that the greatest Christmas gift is the magic of true love . . .”

Christmas giveaway with Jenna Jaxon book

I’m about halfway done with the book and am really enjoying it. It’s a historical romance that keeps me turning the pages. I think you’ll feel the same way that I do about it when you get a chance to read it. For the previous book that I read from the series, I listened to it on Audible and I thought it was a fun way to enjoy the book.

Now let’s look at the items that are offered in this Christmas gifting!

One person will win:

  1. a copy of Jenna Jaxon’s book The Widow’s Christmas Surprise
  2. a $50 Amazon gift card to spend on anything that your heart desires

All you have to do is follow the simple instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below to enter for a chance to win the Jenna Jaxon book and all of these goodies. Giveaway is open to those who are 18+ and reside in US only.

Crown Nova face palette

I used the Crown Nova Pro Travel Face palette to create my simple and super quick everyday look. I need to experiment with some of the bolder colors when I have time. I do love that I can create my entire look with this palette, with the exception of my tinted moisturizer.

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

I'm excited to share with you my latest obsession - Lysse New York! Their clothing’s won me over with its beauty, quality and comfort.

I’m petite at 5’1” and these cropped length pants fit me great, along with their tops. The brand is eco friendly using recycled materials in many of their products. Very cool!

This wide leg style is a favorite of mine. Are you a fan too?

Let me know if you want links and sizing info.💖

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰
