THE 20TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS~
THE 20TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Sorry! Yesterday was so busy I never had a chance to check out the comments you left. I love them! I usually got $200 Barnes & Noble gift cards from my husband. You know, that's only one trip for books though. I've found that the larger the amount on the gift card only means more to carry out to the car... 
Congratulations, Jane! You won THE SWEETHEART TREE by Clover Autrey, www.eaglekinseyrie.com.
Rhonda, you've been VERY VERY GOOD! I think I have your address from when you won a T-shirt from me... And, everyone, don't forget. I'll be choosing someone out of the blue who has commented at any point since the last time I chose... to be VERY VERY GOOD. That person will receive a box of goodies!
TODAY’S TASK:
I'm giving away a pdf of my own SACRIFICIAL HEARTS, www.skhyemoncrief.com or www.timeguardians.com. SACRIFICIAL HEARTS is about sacrifice and the probability of being burned, literally... Here's the blurb:
SACRIFICIAL HEARTS
~a Time Guardian Valentine's Tale
Alone, Twila Deeds tries to find her lost brother and stumbles upon a cult she believes is preparing to sacrifice her in a Valentines-Day sex ritual. She learns her brother has joined the cult and claims to be saving her by bringing her into the fold. She can't trust her brat brother, a selfish teen who never did anything for anyone. He's got to be dealt with. And she intends to dole out the punishment as revenge for his latest betrayal. Nor dare she trust the cult's gorgeous member who arrives to escort her to the cult's Scottish castle on his motorcycle. She's terrified of motorcycles. And the man forces her to climb aboard at gunpoint. After the terrifying motorcycle ride, she has no intention of falling victim to the sacrificial blade before her baby brother is served his just dessert.
But Illusion manifests as free will. (~1st Point of Time Travel)
Gerard Abercrombie can't seem to convince Twila that his time-travel brotherhood has only her welfare in mind before his patience wears thin. Time-travel Code will save him because only the fairies know what the future holds as the Gods send two SACRIFICIAL HEARTS racing toward their destiny.

Well, I suppose the biggest sacrifice was living in England away from my family. He was English & finishing up University at Oxford. It didn't work out in the end as he started drinking & I caught him running around on me...2 things I won't put up with...

Skhye - What a question today! (Note to self - Sacraficial Hearts is now on my must read list)
In answer--Before I met my husband, I'd just about given up on ever finding real love. I had become determined to just enjoy myself - that marriage was no longer for me, and that my true soul-mate (HS Sweetheart) had gone off and married another while I was dithering around with the wrong guy.
Then, one summer night at a beach party - there he was. Handsome, funny, sexy, and completely into everything I did or said. And, he lived a world away in San Diego.
Proximity wise, he was all wrong. But he was everything that I had ever dreamed of in a life-mate...but to make a life together, one of us had to start over.
Like any hero, he offered to come to me - but I knew his heart. So, like any heroine in my own romance, I gave it all up for love. My home at the beach, my career, hardest of all, leaving my best friend... and I never was more certain it was the right thing.
We married a year to the day after we met. Two daughters and 9 years later, it was still the best decision I ever made...

Moving!!!! Just that one word was enough of a sacrifice. LOL

I've never moved for someone, but I have tried to accommodate and chance according to a person's likes and dislikes. It could be as simple eating certain foods or watching tv and movies that they like.

My love was in treh Army. So I had to give up my job and move with him until he got out.

Good for you in the end, Michelle!
Gosh, Ashley. You should write that romance.
I hear you, Kimmy. One word speaks fathoms just like a picture is worth a thousand words.

Jane, my husband grumbles because I buy brown bread instead of kiddie white bread. AND I won't buy iceberg lettuce. LOL Excuse me, brown bread and crisp dark greens are better for you!
And I don't want to hear you grumbling about seeing the world, Debra. Oy! I'm stuck in this recliner. Although, I am out walking at night now. Woohoo. The sights are mighty plain. But I do understand all the leaving your friends and familiar places behind. That has to be rough. Excellent sacrifice to note, Debra.

My husband and I dated for three years long distance before we got married. He is 7 years younger than me and was attending college in California. I lived in Illinois! Thanks, Cindi (We have been married for 22 years)!
