In accordance with the new FTC guidelines concerning blogging endorsements, The U.S. Federal Trade Commission recently updated its guidelines regarding disclosures related to endorsements and testimonials.
We here at Crystals Random Thoughts (dot) com, not only want to comply with these federal guidelines, but also want to tell you how we are able to fund our daily, weekly and monthly news letters, website, giveaways and blog hops.
1. We use Banner Ads (in our sidebar and at the top or bottom of our posts or Blog Page and The Rants News Letters ( daily, monthly, weekly), to vendors of products and services that we think our readers might find valuable.
2. We sometimes run Google Ads at the bottom of Our RSS FEEDS.
3. We use text links for which we are paid or are “affiliates.” These affiliate relationships pay Crystals Random Thoughts (Dot) Com a small commission when readers buy from our affiliate vendors after following our affiliate link. Our paid links or affiliate relationships include: Commission Junction, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books A Million, ARe, KoBo, Linkshare, Smashwords, Book Depository, Ebooks.com and others.
4. Crystals Random Thoughts ( dot) com never reviews or endorses products or services in exchange for compensation. While we occasionally review products and services offered by our paying advertisers, those reviews are never promised as part of an advertising relationship.
5. We sometimes review products after receiving a free sample of that product (software, hardware, books, etc.) We disclose those free review products in our reviews. We would like the readers to know that some of the books we review on my site are provided to us for free by the publisher, author, editor, book tour company or press assistant of the book. The books are sent to us for an honest review, therefore my review post may be positive or negative. I do not receive any monetary compensation for writing a review unless otherwise stated. I will make known in such reviews if I received the book for free.
6. We also directly sell services of our own.

Sutton finds out the hard way that Gage Channing’s dominance doesn’t
end once she leaves the confines of his basement. His rules dictate her
days and nights, his watchful eye keeps her in line at work, and the
memories of her weekend with him, spent under his absolute control and
his firm hand, keeps her on her toes. Having been blackmailed into
submitting to him, Kayla doesn’t fully understand what it means to
relinquish control of her body and free will, and she doesn’t understand
how a man who derives pleasure in whipping and humiliating her is
capable of awakening the desire she hadn’t known existed. 
But driving isn't the primary skill he has to master. Survival is. And in order
to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison. He is on
the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever known - or
he'll be the one who ends the world. With enemies new and old gathering forces,
he will have to call on every part of himself to fight or he'll lose everyone
he cares about. Even himself 
Two hundred years:
that's how long Rhage must bear the curse born of his reckless
inconsideration. Sex and violence are all he once pursued; now they are
the only things that keep the beast within at bay. He has little hope
for finding peace during this existence, until Mary Luce enters his
life. Irresistibly drawn to her light, he's pulled into a struggle with
his own demons as well as the real enemies who threaten the vampire
world and Mary.
