So when do we start decorating for Valentine’s Day? Some of my neighbors still have their Christmas decorations in the yard. They can’t blame the weather stopping them from taking it down, because it has been nice and sunny here. I guess if the lights are red or white it’s no longer Christmas. Nope.. now they are Valentine’s Day decorations. SMART!

by Julia Gabriel
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Women’s Fiction
FREE for a limited time
A woman struggling with her changed appearance overcomes her personal demons and finds love where she least expects it — in her own backyard (literally) — in this Romantic Times Top Pick romance by Julia Gabriel.
When cosmetics mogul Phlox Miller retreats to her country estate to recover from an accident and regain her mojo, she finds herself rescued on the very first day by Jared, the mysterious, prickly — and very private — caretaker her assistant hired. She wants merely to thank him, but he wants nothing to do with her.
The harder she tries to befriend him, the harder he tries to avoid her. Just when Phlox thinks they’re finally making progress — as friends and more — the life he’s been hiding bursts into the open and reveals who he really is. Can Phlox and Jared salvage their love when her very public life is everything he needs to avoid?
A standalone romance with a scarred — but sexy AF — billionaire and a beautiful — if nerdy — CEO heroine with hidden scars of her own. No cliffhanger. Seriously steamy.

Sneak Peek
Jason didn’t glance at the guard or bother to answer. The inmate across from him glanced at Jason’s face and shrunk back. Jason frowned at the man. It was important to keep up appearances. There was one rule in here that everybody understood.
Fear.
If they feared him, he would be left alone. That was what he wanted. He wanted to do his time and get out. One year from now, three years from now, it did not really much matter.
“I’m talking to you, Maxfield.” The guard’s voice was agitated now. “Do you understand?”
“I heard you.” Jason still didn’t look his way. He could sense the man was unnerved by the lack of respect, but Jason did not care. The man knew better than to push him.
“You either, Smith. Got it?”
“Yes sir.”
Jason stared at the man across from him with unblinking eyes. The man swallowed. He was in a different cellblock. They had never run into each other until today, something the man was probably reminding himself of while trying to avoid Jason’s gaze.
“Smith.” Jason spoke so quietly that it was a wonder the man heard.
The man went pale and tried to move away, but the chains on his feet kept him secured. He looked around, almost as if thinking about asking the guard to move him, but he must have thought better of it because he remained silent.
Jason continued to study the man as he made a conscious effort not to look at Jason. Their eyes made contact when he finally did.
Jason tilted up the corners of his mouth in a mocking smile.
If Smith had been white before, he looked like a ghost now. He had just opened his mouth when a skidding noise at the front of the bus drew their attention.
A smoke grenade bounced across the floor.

5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Cookbook: Quick and Easy 5 Ingredient Crock Pot Recipes
by Louise Davidson
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
FREE for a limited time
5 ingredients + 15 minutes preparation time + Slow cooker = Fabulous One Pot Meal!
Have you ever found yourself going home, tired after a long day, only to discover that you still have to cook food? The prospect of having to prepare several ingredients, use a frying pan or an oven, and then perform other complicated and time consuming tasks may either make you to order out or skip dinner altogether.
If think about it, using a slow cooker can solve all this. It will make you save time and energy and money. What’s not to like? On top of that, if you only need five ingredients to prepare your meals, and 15 minutes to make it, it’s even better!
Slow cookers allow you to go home with food not only ready for you to eat, but also still tasty and warm at the same time. All you have to do is to prepare the ingredients in the morning, put all of them in the slow cooker and leave it. No mess, no dishes to clean, and not much effort compared to other kitchen appliances. This also means less work and faster preparation time. You arrive at home with a one-pot meal ready to eat. It will give you more time to enjoy your meal.
Compared to ovens, slow cookers require a significantly lower amount of electricity. This means lower bills for you to pay. Another money-saver is that with slow cookers, you can buy the less expensive, tougher meats. Instead of the expensive choice cuts, you can use the tougher meats because the slow cookers will make the meat more tender.
Inside find:
Useful tips for cooking with a slow cooker
Succulent beef recipes like the cowboy beef;
Mouth-watering chicken and turkey recipes;
Easy pork dishes like the apricot- glazed pork roast;
Delicious fish recipes like the garlic butter tilapia;
Delectable vegetarian meals like the artichoke pasta;
Luscious desserts like the chocolate cake;
Weekend breakfast dishes like the French toast casserole.
Take note that I don’t count salt and pepper, water, and cooking spray as ingredients.
