My Review:
5*
Wow what a book. This is a cook book and it is vegan. There are lots of wonderful sounding recipes in this book. I found 2 recipes I will be trying as soon as I go grocery shopping and 1 recipe I did try and will be making again. I absolutely loved the Crispy Cauliflower Snow. Not only was it easy to make it was pretty, and tasted amazing. I will be making the Fresh Tomato Spaghetti and the Pasta Parmesan very soon.

There are meat tasting recipes with no meat at all like meatballs and a sausage recipe. There are pictures with every recipe by the time you finish flipping through the book your mouth will be watering.

The book goes with the Raw Vegan Diet. The book gives you some tips and hints and helps explain the diet. I personally am not on this diet but I do love to cook and am willing to try just about anything.
About the Author:
RawMunchies.org is a raw vegan website dedicated to making healthy, gluten free recipes, that are delicious, easy and great for detox.



Reut Barak has been an online influencer in the Raw Vegan world since her transformation in 2015, “I started cooking when I was 7, on my own making Challah bread. I was brave. The result was what could only be described as beginners luck.
I have since had every possible failure in the book (and some of my own).



But I always succeeded in the end, and over the 25 years in the kitchen I mastered cooking. I could make anything I wanted to make. Until I went raw.



A chance night of late Googling on May 25, 2015 exposed me to this new great challenge and I learn new things every single day. Join me! Love, Reut”

Off Script by Liv Bartlet



“I kissed Edward Wolverton once. It
was everything it was supposed to be—and then some... maybe I’ll kiss him
again.”

TV Producer
Bea Douglas’s last confession to her former business partner and ex-best friend
wasn’t meant to tempt the fates. She’s eager to escape the hypocrisy of the
television industry and years of hiding her faith for the convenience of other
people. Edward Wolverton may be hot, smart, and funny—but he’s also two steps
out of rehab with a self-proclaimed allergy to Christianity.

But after a
club night turns violent, Bea loses her sense of self while Eddie teeters on
the edge of relapse. Their connection to each other is the only certainty. To
be together, each will have to let go of past pain and have faith in a love
that never fades.

Off Script is an uncommon story of the power of
love and resilience to bring people together in a society that does its best to
tear them apart.















Liv Bartlet is the pseudonym for writing
partners Becca McCulloch and Sarah McKnight, who have been building worlds and
telling stories together for more than a decade. They’ve logged hours of
behind-the-scenes movie and TV footage and challenged each other in a friendly
Oscar guessing game every year this millennium. Lifelong Anglophiles, their
Monkey & Me world sprang to vivid life on a trip to London that included
divine pastries, sublime art, and a spectacular pratfall in the British Museum.

Becca is a professor, a scientist, and
a secret romantic who insisted their first order of business in London was a
meandering five-mile walk to see Big Ben. She lives with her husband, children,
and an ever-expanding roster of pets in Logan, Utah.



Sarah is an Army brat, an Excel geek,
and has a lot of opinions on the differences between science fiction and
fantasy. She lives with her cat, Sir Jack—who is featured prominently on Liv’s
Instagram —just outside Salt Lake City.



Interview with Liv Bartlet
Do you have any pets?
Becca: We are almost a zoo. A Great Dane named Lucy is the mama of our menagerie that includes two cats, a fish, a terrier, and a host of wild animals that think we’re awesome.
Sarah: Just one. Sir Jack is a very determined only-child.

What do you do in your spare time when you’re not writing?
Becca: I haven’t had spare time since 2009 when my first child was born.
Sarah: I watch way too much Hulu and Netflix.

What is the best vacation you ever went on?
Becca: London was great, but it’s hard to beat a honeymoon on Maui.
Sarah: London. It was epic and pretty much perfect.

If you could live anywhere else besides your current location, where would it be?
Becca: I don’t know. I love so many places. London, Hawaii, the east coast. I’m a natural wanderer.
Sarah: London

Are you currently working on a project, and if so, can you tell us anything about it?
Yes! Right now we’re writing the sequel to Production Values and Off Script. It will be the 3rd book in the Kat & Bea story and cap off their journeys on the page. We’re skipping forward a few years and exploring different aspects of what it means to be a woman, mother, wife, friend.

If you weren’t an author, what other profession would you be in?
Becca: I actually have my non-writer dream job as the director of a dietetics program.
Sarah: Have a day job, but if I had to pick a different dream profession it would be music supervisor for a TV show.

Defending Her Dignity by Jade Webb

Title: Defending Her Dignity
Series: Renegade Love Bodyguard Series
Author: Jade Webb
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 15, 2018


Men have never taken me seriously. At 5’5” on a good day, they can’t help but look straight through me, or worse: right at my rack. So I prove them wrong. Usually with a swift kick to their golden jewels that sends them straight to the floor. That’s what they get for messing with a captain from the Israeli Defense Forces.

When my cousin offers me a gig for a bodyguard position with one of the richest families in the country, I jump at the opportunity. But when I meet the client, Lawrence Monroe… it doesn’t go so well.

So I tell him to go screw himself and as I stumble out of the room, I find Isabel, his adorable daughter getting her butt kicked in Wii boxing. I offer to teach her a few tricks and then suddenly Lawrence has a change of heart. That same day I move into his McMansion, into a bedroom the size of my entire apartment. Except there’s one problem: while I think I’m being hired as a bodyguard, he thinks he’s hiring a nanny. Yeah, annoying. But for the sake of his blue-eyed baby girl (and a sizable paycheck), I play along.

And while at first, I just pegged Lawrence as an over-protective father, I am beginning to get the feeling that Isabel and I are being watched. All my instincts tell me to follow my gut, but how can I trust myself when every time I am within a 10 foot radius of Lawrence, my body betrays me and I feel inexplicably attracted to this devoted single dad. There is something between us, lingering just beneath the surface. But he is American royalty and I am only here until this threat is neutralized.

After all, I can’t let myself fall for him. I need to focus on protecting his daughter and deciding what kind of life I want for myself. No, falling for a man like Lawrence Monroe would cost me too much. I have to defend my dignity.




I can hear the sincerity in his voice as easily as I can see it in his eyes. I turn away from him and look out the window, before he can see the truth in my eyes, of how much I want him, and how much that scares me. 

When I turn my head to look back at him, suddenly, the back of this car feels even smaller. Is he closer? Or am I imagining it? Has all the air escaped, or is it just that being this close to Lawrence addles all my senses?


I don’t know what it would take for me to give myself to Lawrence, to give in to this temptation. But I know he would take a piece of my heart with him. It would be inevitable. The question now was, did I want to risk the heartache to have this one night with him? To be able to experience what it would feel like to have him inside of me, and have his chest pressed against mine, and our heart beats furiously beating in our chests as we explored, dominated and made love to each other. Would I be able to give my body to him, without giving him my heart? 

Any other man and I would have been able to easily that question. With Lawrence, I’m not sure I can separate the two. And still, it’s a risk I want to take. At least for tonight. So when I drag my eyes up to his, to find them looking down at me, I suck in my lower lip and close my eyes. 

Just for tonight. Give in to him tonight. If it’s not meant to be, there will be a sign from the universe. 

When I open my eyes, I move my hand to cup his cheek. As my palm connects with his face, he inhales a sharp breath, as if my touch is enough to unsettle him the same way he has completely tilted my world off its axis. But tonight, I don’t want to overthink — don’t want to agonize whether he feels the same I want to do. In fact, tonight I don’t want to think at all, I just want to feel: Feel his lips on mine, his hands on my body. 


“If we do this, it can only be tonight,” I tell him, still biting down on my lip hard enough now to draw blood.








I am a lover of romance novels that feature strong heroines who know that the loves that may come into their lives are always the icing, and never the cake.


I have loved romance novels since I was a teen, sneaking them into my Bible studies at my all-girls Catholic school. I love strong heroines who know that the men that may come into their lives are always the icing, and never the cake.



Thanks to my own marriage, I have learned that the challenges of life can only help to make love stronger and I am grateful to my partner for embodying all the magic that love can offer.



When I am not writing or dreaming up new love stories, I am working in a retirement community outside of Boston that provides me with enough writing material for ten lifetimes.
