I love Valentine's Day! The cards, the colors, the flowers.. a whole day dedicated to celebrating love, what's not to love about that! I love a romantic evening out with the husband, but I also enjoy a quiet evening with the kids in bed, a cool glass of Pinot in my hand, my favorite blanket and a good book! My husband will be traveling for work this Valentine's Day, so looks like plan B is my only option this year! The Trouble with Valentine's Day by Rachel Gibson is my cuddle up book of choice for Valentine's Day 2013! Avon Romance has re-released this book and at the perfect time of year! I read it during it's first release and it immediately earned a spot on my keeper shelf!
Here is the book description courtesy of Amazon.com:
It's the one day each year when being single is a sin . . .
The Trouble With Valentine's Day? It just plain stinks! Kate Hamilton should know. Dumped by her boyfriend, burnt out by her job, she's returned to Gospel, Idaho, where a Mountain Momma Crafters' original poetry reading is about as good as it gets on a Friday night. Then her first attempted seduction of a hunky stranger is completely rejected. So much for her self-esteem!
It turns out that Rob Sutter, former ice hockey madman, owner of Sutter's Sports—and the hunky stranger who told her to get lost—has been more than burned by love and isn't looking for a relationship. But then he and Kate find themselves in an ultra-compromising position in the M&S Market after-hours, giving the phrase "clean up in aisle five" a whole new meaning, and causing a whole lot of gossip in Gospel . . .
This book is full of the trademark Rachel Gibson mix of humor, love and warmth. The characters are likable and the backstory between Rob's mother and Kate's grandfather is adorable. I give this book Five Stars (ok Five HEARTS- for the Holiday)!
The Mass Market paperback is currently on sale for $7.99 and the Kindle/Nook versions are available for the STEAL price of $3.79.

I would say finding a babysitter, going to dinner, and then watching a non-kid movie would be perfect. Even though I am thinking that I like @Soft Fuzzy Sweaters idea of cuddling up with a good book in bed or the couch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win. Love Rachel and her sexy hockey men.
Non-Kid movie... you mean they still make those? lol :) In my house between my 4 yr old, 2 yr old and husband the only channels that we seem to get are kids channels and ESPN :)
DeleteI enjoy peace and quite so I'm going to opt for a glass of wine (or something stronger), a warm blanket and a hot book. What more could you want?
ReplyDeleteOpening a box of chocolates and enoying a few.
ReplyDeleteA few? If I open a box the whole box is gone in an hour :) Enjoy your holiday and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteCelebrating with friends at White Castle and then home to a good book! :)
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try real White Castle, we don't have them here, I tried the freezer version once, but am sure they are nothing close to the real thing! Happy Valentine's !
DeleteI quiet evening with a book, hot tea and blanket. And like you, I have the original book version on my keeper shelf. I have all of Rachel's books. You can't go wrong!
