Today, I have the lovely Amy Scheibe, author of A FIREPROOF HOME FOR THE BRIDE, here at Traveling With T. Amy’s smart as a fox publicist, Angelique, contacted me about review/giveaway/interview options- and after reading the synopsis- I knew this would be a good book. The problem? I just wasn’t sure when I could get you, my readers, the review of this book. So, Angelique let me interview Amy and offered up 1 ARC of the book for giveaway.
So, everyone is a winner- you get to “meet” Amy and her book and I get to play a role in making that happen! Win/win! *throws glitter EVERYWHERE!* Continue reading
Hey ya’ll! Today, I have a teensy surprise for you. Kristy Woodson Harvey, the debut author of DEAR CAROLINA (out in May 2015), has arranged for Traveling With T to have a super-special giveaway. Kristy knows how I feel about giveaways and she is SO adorable- so she contacted me the other week to let me know that she had some ARC’s and would love, love, love for me to give one away here to one of my lucky readers who love them some women’s fiction. Having already read the synopsis of this book a few months ago- I was pretty excited for ya’ll to get this opportunity 🙂
What is DEAR CAROLINA about? Well, looking at the cover- it’s got a light, sweet feel to it. But the synopsis makes me feel that Kleenex will be needed during this reading… Continue reading

Hush Hush
Summary from Goodreads:
On a searing August day, Melisandre Harris Dawes committed the unthinkable: she left her two-month-old daughter locked in a car while she sat nearby on the shores of the Patapsco River. Melisandre was found not guilty by reason of criminal insanity, although there was much skepticism about her mental state. Freed, she left the country, her husband and her two surviving children, determined to start over.
But now Melisandre has returned Baltimore to meet with her estranged teenage daughters and wants to film the reunion for a documentary. The problem is, she relinquished custody and her ex, now remarried, isn’t sure he approves.
Now that’s she’s a mother herself–short on time, patience–Tess Monaghan wants nothing to do with a woman crazy enough to have killed her own child. But her mentor and close friend Tyner Gray, Melisandre’s lawyer, has asked Tess and her new partner, retired Baltimore P.D. homicide detective Sandy Sanchez, to assess Melisandre’s security needs.
As a former reporter and private investigator, Tess tries to understand why other people break the rules and the law. Yet the imperious Melisandre is something far different from anyone she’s encountered. A decade ago, a judge ruled that Melisandre was beyond rational thought. But was she? Tess tries to ignore the discomfort she feels around the confident, manipulative Melisandre. But that gets tricky after Melisandre becomes a prime suspect in a murder.
Yet as her suspicions deepen, Tess realizes that just as she’s been scrutinizing Melisandre, a judgmental stalker has been watching her every move as well. . .

The Girls of Mischief Bay
Summary from Goodreads:
Nicole Lord wants to be a good wife, but there’s a difference between being supportive and supporting her husband, who quit his job to write a screenplay she’s never seen. He won’t even help take care of their son, leaving Nicole to run the house and work full-time at her Mischief Bay Pilates studio. Can she say enough is enough without losing the man she loves?
Sacrificing a personal life for her career is how Shannon Rigg rose to become vice president in her firm, but she wonders now whether she made the right choice. An exciting new relationship with a great guy convinces her that it might not be too late—until he drops a bombshell that has her questioning whether she can have it all. And if she can, does she want it?
Although Pam Eiland has a beautiful house and a husband she adores, she feels… restless. She wonders who a stay-at-home mom becomes after the kids are grown. Finding sexy new ways to surprise her husband brings the heat and the humor back to their marriage, but when unexpected change turns her life upside down, she’ll have to redefine herself. Again.
Through romance and heartbreak, laughter and tears, three very different women will discover that friends can become family, and that life is richer with sisters at your side.
I’m looking forward to this weekend. A weekend of hopefully quiet time, some reading, some blogging and just trying to relax.
Why am I looking forward to this?
Because next weekend, the most adorable niece ever, Miss A, is spending the weekend with me- AND it’ll be all about the A, all weekend long. We’ll be dancing to Taylor Swift and Megan Trainor. Continue reading
If you know Adria Cimino, you know how good of a person she is. Having had the chance to make her acquaintance via the internet over a year ago- I have always been impressed with how Adria presents herself on social media. She’s an author and while, yes, she does promote her books- she also takes time to build and foster connections with the people behind the blogs- and I think we all appreciate that!
When Rhiannon and I were discussing what book to read next, Adria’s name came up and it seemed the natural conclusion as both of us have had a chance to get to know her and have admired her style! Continue reading
