Kidnapped by The Billionaire: A Nine Circles Series (Book 4) by Jackie Ashenden

This is the fourth book in the Nine Circles series by Jackie Ashenden
Summary
-Elijah Hunt had it all-a beautiful wife, a beautiful life, the fact that he was a billionaire and then, he lost it all. Seven years later, he becomes a bodyguard. He wants revenge on the man who took his family away from him. And he'll start small-by taking the daughter of the man he deems responsible. But he seemed to have bit off more than he chew when he takes this daughter.

-Violet Fitzgerald is a hippie in almost every sense of the word. She's free-spirited, does what she wants, when she wants, is outspoken, but is caring about everyone. She lived with her roommate, Honor St. James, until she moved in with her new beau, Gabriel Woolf. Elijah quickly realizes that Violet is nothing like her father. She is kind, yet outspoken, caring and she somehow manages to melt the ice around his heart and open him up to see the kind-hearted man beneath the icy surface.

Summary

I'm Not Sure Why...

But I've been in a severe 1960s mood lately. I think it has something to do with the fact that I recently finished a book titled It's a Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod Murder. Which is about a secretary who works for a music company who has to solve the murder of a British musician.

Man, Britain had some of the best music coming from there to the US. Heck, they still have some of the greatest musicians ever. Bad Company, Judas Priest, the Beatles, etc. Britain needs to keep making good rock music!

Here are some pics of my favorite decade!!!!!!

'Swinging' 1960s



Am I the only one who noticed a lot of those 'British 60s' bands all wore kinda the same clothes? You know, the so-called 'Beatle' boots, slim fitting pants, etc?















1960s


This picture made me laugh


Can't have the 1960s without a corny 60s beach movie

Some say that I'm a reincarnated hippie
-Who's to say they're wrong? For all I know, I might be...

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo
-Possibly Japanese symbols, maybe something Irish, who knows?
