Dealing with my anxiety.
After 5-6 days of non stop anxiety and panic. I finally got some sleep last night. But here I am the next night at 1:50 hoping sleep finds its way to me! I don't want to rely on drugs to get me through this. I need to figure out the problem and face it head on. Taking sleeping pills every night and an anti-depressant every day won't make things better forever. And i doubt it will be better forever, Ill prob always have flair up and Ill have to deal with them as they come but it would be nice to find someone to talk to and try to figure out the underlying cause of all my anxiety and panic. I have always had anxiety since i was little so i have no idea what the cause of it could be but it never hurts to go talk to someone to see what they have to say. They may have something to say that will help me long or short term. Either way I want to be myself again and with all this anxiety I am def not myself. I hope someday in the near future I will have some sort of relief and explanation for what is causing some of this. Until then Ill just breath.

The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton
BEWARE OF SPOILERS:
This was a great book. I love books where there is a lot of sex and its kinky. It makes me hot!!! ;)
Tara Lincoln is an event planner and cordinates an event for the NFL. Which is where she meets Mick Riley, quaterback for the San Fransico Sabers, and they hit things off right from the start. They go back to his hotel room and give into their sexual desires, but in the morning Mick wakes up to find her gone and goes searching for her. When he finally tracks her down, he goes to her work to ask her out just for her to turn him down. Mick isn't used to a woman turning him down, it's usually him kicking the woman out of his room after he has had his desires fulfilled. So Mick sets up an appointment to book an event and when Tara shows up to meet her client about booking this event, she finds Mick there, and is pissed. Tara tells him about her 14 year old son thinking that will scare him away. But when it doesn't she is forced to just give into her feelings for him so they start dating. There having some great sex and getting to know each other but Mick still hasnt met her son and wants to, so when their at Tara's place fooling around she is surprised that her son Nathan is coming back home to grab a few things for a sleep over.

Although Tara is still worried she is burdening Mick with her son and her problems. And things start to fall apart when Tara is suppose to go pick up Nathan from a party that she believes is supervised by adults but has to go handle things with her best friend so Mick offers to pick up Nathan. But when Mick pulls up the house and goes inside he finds out it is a house party with no parents and Nathan is drunk. He takes Nathan home and tells Tara about it and when she freaks, she makes Mick feel like it was his fault. Mick finally tells Tara about he is an alcoholic and hasnt had a drink in years but was scared to tell her because of her parents and the fact that he didn't want to lose her over it. Things get better between them and Tara throws a charity event for underprivileged kids. Liz, Mick's agent, does not like that Mick is dating Tara and when a news reporter shows up she takes full advantage of it by talking about underprivileged kids that have bad parents all while Mick and Nathan are standing in the bad ground. Tara watches from a distance and gets pissed thinking Mick and Liz did this on purpose for publicity. She grabs Nathan and storms out of the event. Mick keeps trying to call her and she wont asnwer. So when Mick finally sees the news and what has happened he calls Liz and tells her she better make it right or he will fire her.

Mick and Tara watch it together and Tara tells him they can't be together. The football season starts for her son and as the game is getting over she swears she sees Mick. When she turns around her son is standing there and tells her Mick was there because he had invited him there and he also goes on to tell her to stop making him as an excuse to not have a life. So Tara goes to Mick's house and apoligizes, they have great makeup sex, and of course live happily ever after.
This story somewhat reminds me of the struggles Josh Hamilton went through with his alcohol and drug addiction. Very good story, very good sex, and i highly recomment.
Changing the Game, which is about Gavin the MLB player, will be coming on August 2nd and i can't wait to read it!!!

Since the Beginning of 2011.
The MacKenzie Series by Linda Howard - I found that all the story lines in this book good. Althought I felt like they fall in love very quickly its still a great love story. I however hated that in all the books the woman were virgins. I know these books were written in the 80's so times were different then but it is just isnt my cup of tea. Most people aren't virgins when there 25-28 years of age. But overall this was a great series and I would absolutely read it again.
The Bodyguard Series by Cindy Gerard - I have only read 2 books in this series. The first one was about Nolan. He was a bodyguard to this rich girl who is being stalked and he is there to protect her. The second one is about Nolan's sister Eve whose friend goes missing and in the process of Eve's search for her friend she runs into one of her exes. Both of the story lines have been great and the sex is awesome!! I can't wait to finish up this series.
~After reading the second book in the Cindy Gerard series I picked up a random book off my shelf that I hadn't read and it was a harlequim blaze. And since the first one I've read I havent been able to put them down.
Blaze Books:
Hot Target By Linda Renee Jones - This book was about a pro baseball player who is getting death threats and she comes in to protect him. Which is a little different than most books you read cause it's usually the guy protecting the girl. The story line of this book was just ok. I disliked the ending of it. I didn't think he should of gotten hurt, especially so easily from some guy pushing him down. Then she walks of the hospital because his manager tells her he needs to focus on getting better so she just leaves...?!?! If you love someone you don't just walk out like that. Then 3 months goes by and he gets offered a job in New York where she happens to live and he goes and finds her even after she leaves him in the hospital when he is injured. Just didn't like the way the ending of the book was written. But the sex in this book was probably the best sex I've read in a while. But again, if your having THAT great of sex, you dont just walk out. ;)
Risking it All by Stephanie Tyler - This was actually a great book. She is a documentary film maker and he is a surfer/navy SEAL. It starts out with her needing him to sign release papers to use him in her film and he refuses. She then decides to go fdilm Xtreme jobs and her uncle happens to be an officer in the Navy SEALs. So she goes to film Navy SEALs day to day lives and finds him, the asshole surfer who wouldnt sign her papers, there. The way the story plays out and where the end up at the end of the book i personally thought was very well written out. I enjoyed the story line and the sex in this book. Definitely recommend you to read.
~In the middle of a blaze book right now. I will post my findings when I am finished. Thanks for reading. :)
