Blurb/Synopsis:
Dr. Rory Milner is just beginning to understand what it takes to
survive an ER residency. In his second year, he’s changed
programs to gain additional experience. But not only does he
need to manage the ins and outs of the ER, Rory also needs to
navigate around his brother, a charge nurse, who feels Rory
should toe his line, especially when it comes to Garth, one of the
ER nurses.
As a nurse in the ER, Garth West has pretty much seen it all. But a new resident captures his attention,
not only because he’s good-looking, but because Rory seems to care and really listens to the people who
come into the ER. He also respects Garth and the rest of the nursing staff.
As Rory and Garth work together, they realize that a series of incidents involving botched cosmetic
procedures may be related. Working together to uncover the source, they grow closer as attraction and trust grow into something deeper. Rory and Garth will need to stand together when what they find could end their careers and split them apart.

Review: The Princess Bride Official Cookbook

I don’t often spotlight nonfiction books, but I am this one. Have you ever seen the movie “The Princess Bride”? Then this is for you.

THE PRINCESS BRIDE: THE OFFICIAL COOKBOOK by Jenn Fujikawa 

Nonfiction, Cookbook, Movies, Pop Culture, 

5*****

Blurb: Few films have captured the hearts and imaginations like The Princess Bride. Based on the book by William Goldman, the 1987 film, directed by Rob Reiner and starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Billy Crystal, Andre the Giant, Carol Kane, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Christopher Guest, Fred Savage, and Peter Falk is as universally beloved as it is quotable. Now, for the first time, The Princess Bride Cookbook: The Official Cookbook features more than 50 recipes for dishes seen in, and inspired by, the film, including:

  • Buttercup Buttermilk Scones
  • Hash You Wish
  • Farm Boy Breakfast
  • Six-Fingered Sandwiches
  • Chips of Insanity
  • MLT
  • The Grandson’s Soup and Sandwich
  • Vizzini’s Sicilian Meatballs
  • Fezzik’s Stew
  • The Spaniard’s Paella
  • Bread Pirate Roberts
  • Twu Wove’s Kiss Cookies
  • Iocane Powder Punch
  • Inigo Montoya’s Taste of Revenge

Thoughts: I absolutely adore this book. Okay, I adore the movie too so this fits right in. Although there are some really good recipes in here, it’s not so much a cookbook as it is a cultural reference. There are pictures and quotes from the movie as well as the recipes. There is also a brief history of the movie. As for the recipes, you are given ingredients, clear directions, colorful pictures of some of the dishes and if they fit vegetarian, gluten-free, or other diet-specific parameters. The only thing missing from them are the nutrient values (necessary for some people). But again, this is about the movie. But I know I will definitely be adding this to my “must buy” list.

Recommendations: If you’ve ever seen the movie and enjoyed it (who hasn’t?), you cannot miss this!

Review: Snow Kiss Cookies to Die For

SNOW KISS COOKIES TO DIE FOR by Wendy Kendall

Fiction, Contemporary Romantic Suspense, Novella (98 pages)

5*****

Blurb: First grade teacher Desiree Tucker is on the brink of winter holidays with her new, romantic boyfriend when danger encroaches on her joy. Ominous, untraceable texts buzz on her cell phone. Terrifying secret Santa gifts show up for her in the classroom. As the stalker moves closer to the prey, Desiree doesn’t know who she can trust. Her charming new man is a prime suspect. Is he a deadly stalker? If not him, who? What can she learn from the legend of the snow kiss cookie? Just when she’s starting to believe in magic again, she finds herself fighting for her life.

Thoughts: Dez is a first grade teacher with the wonderful idea of having her students do a Secret Santa project. Everyone is excited about the game until a stalker decides to play with Dez—and not in a good way. Threatening texts, stockings filled with disturbing gifts send Dez to the cops, making her suspect everyone, including her new boyfriend Leo. There are plenty of suspects in this who-done-it and the author keeps you guessing right up to the end. 

This isn’t your normal sweet Christmas story. It’s a bit dark and suspenseful, but with a satisfying ending that will leave you smiling.

Recommendation: If you’re looking for a short, suspenseful romance, definitely pick this one up.
