The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Oh my goodness you guys. This week has been packed. Last Friday Baby Girl learned how to go from laying on her belly to a sitting position. Then on Monday she started crawling. Tuesday she was pulling up in her crib and I had to go in and lower her bed. It's been an adventure since then, and I love seeing her explorer. She's taking everything in. Of course, the more mobile she is the more bumps and falls she's having. But that's part of life, right? We also went to my mother-in-law's a couple of times this week. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Husband's father passing away. So everyone has been a bit more emotional as we are especially missing him. Happy 4th to everyone in the US. Happy regular Monday to everyone else!

Goodreads description--An orphaned, small-town, southern girl, held hostage by responsibility and self-doubt.A Hollywood A-list mega-star, on the run from his latest scandal and with everything to lose.
A chance encounter that leads to an unlikely arrangement and epic love affair that will change them both forever.
When his co-star and real-life girlfriend is caught cheating on him with her new director, A-list hottie, Jack Eversea, finds himself in sleepy Butler Cove, South Carolina. Jack hopes the sultry southern heat in this tiny coastal Lowcountry town will hide him not only from the tabloids and his cheating girlfriend, but his increasingly vapid life and the people who run it. He doesn’t count on meeting Keri Ann Butler.
Keri Ann has relied on herself so long, dealing with her family’s death and the responsibilities of keeping up her family's historic mansion, that boys and certainly the meager offering of eligible boys in Butler Cove, have never figured into her equation. But fate has other plans. Suddenly face to face with the man who played the movie role of her favorite fictional character, Jack has Keri Ann yearning for everything she has previously avoided ... and Jack must decide whether this funny, sassy girl is worth changing his life for, before his mistakes catch up to him.
