Today we have a visit from the wonderful Raine O'Tierney and her new book from Dreamspinner Press - Most Beautiful Words! Most Beautiful Words
Raine O'Tierney Paperback Cover Artist: Brooke Albrecht Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Blurb: Twelve-year-old Autumn's world is shattered when her beloved Great-Pop, Tommy Johnson, suffers a stroke that leaves him comatose. With everyone around her resigning themselves to the inevitable, Autumn is the only one not willing to give up. She and Great-Pop have more secret stories to share with each other, after all. More stories about Roy McMillan—the great love of Tommy's life whom he lost fifty years ago. Autumn struggles to keep Great-Pop on this side of death's door. But how can she compete with the beautiful and mysterious Valley—a place of surreal magic where the sun never fully sets? Especially when there's someone familiar in the Valley who will do everything he can to keep Great-Pop from returning to her. Excerpt: But Rook had no interest in waiting for permission. He’d come forward, snaking his arms around Toren’s sheet-covered waist and pulling him hard against his body. “It’s just a kiss,” Rook breathed before he put his lips against Toren’s. Should he protest? Had he protested? Toren couldn’t remember. In that moment there was nothing but Rook’s firm lips, gently teasing his own apart. Toren kissed back, tasting the other man, sucking at his bottom lip. Rook’s mouth was intoxicating, and quite suddenly, Toren forgot why he’d ever resisted. He liked kissing Rook. But after only an appetizer’s worth of his mouth, Rook pulled away. The sensation of their mouths pressed together lingered, and Toren was dumb with the moment. Lost on it. Uncertain what they’d even been talking about. “Do you remember me now?” Rook asked. “Mmn,” Toren agreed, warmth lingering on his lips. “Rook.” Silence was his reply. The arms around his waist fell away, leaving him feeling cold. Toren slowly opened his eyes to find he was standing alone, clutching his sheet, as Rook walked away from him toward the staircase.

Thanks for the post and contest! The most beautiful words I ever heard were "I Love You" from my husband first and then from each of our two kids.

Honestly, I don't know. I suppose it depends on the situation. "Lemon Meringue Pie" does wonders, lol ;)
