Small Town Romance Book Fair!

Posted June 15, 2018 By Linda

 

Love a small town romance? Then this book fair is for you. There are some great deals on some awesome small-town romances.

Bonus ~  Perfectly Honest is only 99cents from June 15-18!  😀

 

Perfectly Honest (The Perfectly Series, Book 1)

You never know where your words will take you…

When Mikaela Finn agreed to be Sam’s ‘fiancée’ for a weekend, she probably should have told him that she’s a doctor. Sam O’Brien, aka ‘Dr. Eye Candy’, is trying to shed his playboy reputation and convince a small town hospital that he’s ready to settle down. But when his ‘fiancée’ helps deliver a baby in the middle of the meet and greet, it’s a bit of a shock. If he’d known the whole truth, he might have done things a little differently because somehow his ‘fiancée’ ends up stealing his job and his heart. Not exactly the change he wanted. Lies and deceit – it’s a match made in heaven!

Authors in Bloom Blog Hop!

Posted April 18, 2018 By Linda

We’re celebrating spring with a blog hop! Meet new authors, discover awesome books, learn a gardening tip, and find a delicious recipe ~ all for a chance to win a Kindle Fire or Nook (winner’s choice) and a $25 gift certificate. That’s pretty sweet!! Visit each author on the hop and leave a comment to enter to win the grand prize.

 

 

Here’s a recipe for a delicious gourmet pizza crust – it’s quick to make and gluten-free!

Gluten-free Gourmet Pizza Crust

½ cup ground almonds

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

pinch salt

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp dried basil

2 tsp olive oil

1 egg

Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Spread the dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and brushed with olive oil. Top with your favourite toppings. My favs are tomato paste, diced chicken, pineapple, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Bake at 325°F for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Here’s a bonus gardening tip: Start your perennial bulbs, which you dug up in the fall, early in the spring by planting them in a pot inside at the beginning of April. By the time the ground is warm enough to plant, you’ll have a head start on your plants! This works for dahlias, calla lilies, gladiola, and Elephant’s Ears.

 

Behind the Bench (In the Game Hockey Romance, Book 2)

Dr. Danni Angelo is the team physician for the Clarington Quakes hockey team. She’s worked hard to earn the players’ respect, but the new coach, Trey Mason, is stirring things up, and Danni’s worried her job may be in jeopardy

Trey finds Danni…distracting. Beauty, brains, and sexy moves on the ice have him uncomfortably attracted. He’s the new guy on the block. He has a reputation to build and a standard to set. The last thing he needs is a complication.

When the team spirals out of control and Danni and Trey get caught up in a drug scandal, things heat up on and off the ice. It’s a whole new game plan…Behind the Bench.

 

 

Behind the Bench (In the Game Hockey Romance, Book 2) is available as part of the Coming in Hot 2: Rescue Me Medical Romance Collection!!
