‘Tis the season for second chances…and secrets!

Forget the mistletoe maneuvers. Kelly Rasmussen isn’t planning on having that reunion kiss with Dr. Caleb Buchanan any time soon. Things had long ago gone south for these former high school sweethearts. Except for that one night six years ago—which resulted in an explosive secret Kelly’s kept till this very day.

Now career and family have brought them both back to Weaver, Wyoming. Their unavoidable clashes—and instant chemistry—make them realize this town isn’t big enough for the two of them. Or three of them—counting Kelly’s son. Because there’s something about that little boy… For one thing, he has Caleb’s eyes…

A Gift as Big as Texas

Molly Griffith is ambitious and only wants to give her little boy the opportunities she never had—which means moving to Dallas, no matter what Chance Lockhart says! Though being with the handsome rancher does make the idea of small-town life more tempting…

Molly has always gotten under Chance’s skin, and now that he’s bonded with her little tyke, he can’t imagine Bullhaven Ranch without them. But the single mom is so focused on her big-city fairy tale, she could miss Chance’s offer of the most important gift of all—the love and support of a real family.

Any Sharp Pro: Knife Sharpener- Review

Any Sharp Pro: Knife SharpenerAny Sharp Pro: Knife Sharpener


Last year I bought a knife sharpener that didn’t seem to work.  I then searched around on the internet for a professional person to sharpen my best kitchen knife.  It seems that not many places sharpen knives any more.  I found a couple of places but none were conveniently located and they wanted me to leave my knife with them for several days.  I do have other knives but this is the one I use all the time.  That is one of the reasons it got dull.

One day I received an email asking if I wanted to try the Any Sharp Pro.  I wasn’t too optimistic but I figured I had nothing to lose. 

The Any Sharp Pro attaches to your counter and stays snug until you release it.  All you do to sharpen your knife is to drag it through the sharpener blades.  After the first time I dragged my knife through, I saw tiny metal shards.  I took that as a positive sign.  I put my knife through it 4 times and tried cutting a tomato.  The knife had improved dramatically.  Then I did it four more times and it became a perfectly sharp knife once again.  Just like magic and so easy!  They do say that it works with wide tooth serrated knives as well.  They require a much lighter touch.  I tried to sharpen mine but no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get the serrated blade to go through the sharpener.

I give the Any Sharp Pro 5 out of 5 stars for straight edged knives.  Before I received it, I thought I was going to have to throw my knife away and buy a new one.  I spent $150 on the knife so, I wasn’t too pleased.  The Any Sharp Pro sells for $19-$22.  To me, it’s a no brainier, keep the knife and buy the Any Sharp Pro to save it! 

My superstitious mom has always told me never to give anyone a knife as a gift.  It’s bad luck.  However, I think the Any Sharp Pro would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook!  It comes in a large variety of colors.

You can find out more about the Any Knife Pro on their website:  http://www.anysharp.com/.  It is also available on Amazon.

I received the Any Sharp Pro for my honest opinion.
