We're Moving (hopefully)

If you guys recall, last Spring I tried to make the move from Blogger to Wordpress. Let's just say that it didn't turn out well so I decided to stick with Blogger. Until now. Recently Google updated the ToS for Blogger, targeting blogs with Adult Content and blogs that have ads that link to p0rn0gr@ph1c sites. See I'm too scared to type out the word cause I'm afraid that Google will snatch my blog! And that's why I'm moving to WP. I review a lot of er0tic romances and I'm not 100% certain that the new ToS won't target my blog. A couple of weeks ago, several reviewers had their blogs deleted by Google without warning or a "How you doin'?" I do not want that to happen to me. After seeing other reviewers jump the Blogger ship, I've decided I'm going to as well.

I'd rather deal with the headache of moving my blog to WP than deal with the headache of having my blog deleted.

Love To Read For Fun will be down this weekend. Much of the PITA work (like unlocking my domain from Google) was done last year so hopefully (fingers crossed) all I'll have to do is just purchase web hosting, activate my WP domain, upload my blog to WP and tweak my format, template, etc.

We shall see. Wish me luck!

FYI - The url will remain the same (lovetoreadforfun.com) so there's one thing I won't have to worry about. Yay!

summary from Goodreads
She's on the run . . .

Jane Beaumont currently has in her possession: a cat, a hundred grand in cash, and a pistol. She's on her way home to Bay City, Oregon-and away from the nightmare of her violent ex-boyfriend. She'll lay low at Beaumont Body Shop, a car detailer that runs a private investigation agency in the back. The only wrench in her plan is Kage Archer: sexy, strong, and intent on protecting Jane at all costs. She's wanted Kage forever, but putting him in harm's way is not a risk she's willing to take.

He's not going anywhere

Kage is no stranger to the dark side of life, but he's always walked on the right side of the law. Yet when Jane expressed her interest in him years ago, he pushed her away for her own good. Now, after learning of all she's endured, Kage can't leave her side-or hide his need for her. When a frightening situation turns dire, can Kage convince Jane that the safest place to be is in his arms?

What if a ‘Once in a Lifetime’ could happen twice?

Suffering from a past full of tragedy, Dahlia London's soul has been left completely shattered. Happily ever after is a far cry from reality in her world. But, when she is reconnected with her past, the bonds that form are irrefutable.

summary from Goodreads
Kelly Maxwell has finally landed her dream job as publicist for the San Francisco Blaze. But the team's newest member, handsome bad boy catcher Matt Scanlon, is refusing every interview. She's got to get him to open up before the season ends, or she may not be back next year. And after everything she overcame to achieve her dream, Kelly's not about to let that happen.

Matt Scanlon just wants to be left alone to rebuild his life and his career. After a year of masking the pain of a recent loss with hard partying and fast women, he finally hit rock bottom and was traded to a team he's loathed his entire life—a team with little to no chance at the post-season.

Butting heads is getting Kelly and Matt nowhere but annoyed, and with the team's schedule on the road, they can't avoid close quarters—or their surprising attraction to one another. As the season winds down, Matt finds his growing feelings for Kelly have brought his numbed emotions back to life. But when betrayal shatters their fragile trust, winning it all seems more impossible than ever.
