We discuss 7 ways you can feel gratitude even when dating is hard, how to appreciate all the moments along the way, and our own personal things we are grateful for this year.

0:00.0	All right, fellow Romantasy lovers, I've been waiting to talk about this one because it completely took my weekend.
0:05.7	The epic romantic finale, Dawn of Chaos and Fury by Melissa K. Rourke, is finally here.
0:11.7	And if you're into anything book talk is raving about right now, you need this.
0:16.3	This is the fourth and final book in the legacy series, a dark romantasy packed with fay, dragons, shifters,
0:22.4	vampires, witches, meddling gods, you name it. And what I love about this world is that
0:26.8	it's not your typical medieval fantasy backdrop. Think high fantasy meets modern tech. Magic
0:33.0	everywhere. But people are still texting, driving, dating, using computers.
0:40.2	It gives big Crescent City vibes in the best way.
0:46.5	And honestly, I got so pulled into the emotional roller coaster that heroin is dealing with depression and anxiety.

1:12.9	Dawn of Chaos and Fury is on sale now, available for the first time as a Kensington Trade Paperback and eBook.
1:19.0	So grab your copy and dive into the chaos.
1:21.7	You can find Dawn of Chaos and Fury by Melissa K. Rourke, wherever books are sold in print and in e-book.
1:28.1	With the holidays right around the corner, it's time for me to start planning all the festive
1:32.9	meals and treats for the season. Frozen Washington red raspberries are the ultimate holiday
1:38.4	shortcut to flavor, as they are picked at peak ripeness and frozen within hours to lock
1:43.7	in their bright, sweet tart taste.
1:46.2	I love raspberries in my desserts.
