Escaping Reality – The Secret Life of Amy Bensen is $.99 this weekend ONLY
99 cent weekend only sale fifty shades of alpha male!
Infinite possibilities….
Infinite passion…..
Infinite danger….
His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldn’t trust him. I shouldn’t tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need.
At the young age of eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to flee all she has known and loved to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, she’s finally dared to believe she is forgotten-even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets her guard down, the ghosts of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.
On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant, and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take “no” as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants more than she should give? And what if there is more to Liam than meets the eyes?

PEANUT BUTTER EGGS & Wilton Sprinkles Giveaway!
This week’s recipe from Rae is PEANUT BUTTER EGGS! Keep stopping by on Mondays when we’ll have a new recipe and giveaway posted.
You know it’s spring when the peanut butter and chocolate candy is in all the stores. I love the store bought candy, but this is delicious and easy to make. A great recipe to make with children also. These make a great hostess gift. Just put the candy in treat bags and add them to a basket filled with decorative grass. Anyone you give share these with is sure to enjoy them.
PEANUT BUTTER EGGS
INGREDIENTS
4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter melted
3 tablespoons milk
12 ounce package milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon Shortening
Sprinkles, optional
DIRECTIONS
Mix powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter, mix well
Add milk and mix to incorporate
Form dough in egg shape, (or balls or any other shape you can think of that would work.)
Place in fridge or freezer to set up, (about 15 minutes worked well for me)
In a microwave safe bowl add chocolate chips and shortening, microwave 30 seconds mix, repeat until the chocolate is melted, do not melt to long or you will ruin the chocolate.
Dip egg (or whatever shape you chose) in the melted chocolate and place on waxed paper until hardened. (If using sprinkles, place on eggs before they harden so the sprinkles stick)
Enjoy!!!

Keeping with the green theme, I decided to use zucchini this week. It is such a great smell when the bread is cooking, and with the temp. still cool, at least where I am, this is a perfect recipe to warm up the house.
