Kick back Saturday

HI everyone!

 
Welcome to Kick Back Saturday! In my opinion, one of the best ways to spend a Saturday is to curl up with a book, a delicious cup of coffee or cocktail, and hang out with my writing partner, my sweet pup, Kelly!
Join me every Saturday for a book blurb and a new, tasty drink recipe - coffee or cocktail...?
Take up a book, mix a drink, and kick back.


This Saturday's Book

The Truth About Lord Stoneville (Hellions of Halstead Hall, #1)
by Sabrina Jefferies
The Truth About Lord Stoneville (Hellions of Halstead Hall, #1)
Amazon             B&N

Description:
They're the scandalous Sharpes, five hell-raising siblings tainted by a shocking family legacy. Now each faces a daunting ultimatum: marry by year's end—or kiss their inheritance good-bye.

In the two decades since a tragic "accident" took the lives of his parents, Oliver Sharpe, the Marquess of Stoneville, has survived the scandal surrounding that fateful night by living as an unrepentant rakehell. And with his grandmother vowing to disinherit him if he doesn't settle down and wed, he plans to fulfill the bargain in true Sharpe style—by bringing home a fake fiancée from a brothel! But his scheme is derailed when he rescues an American beauty in a dire predicament instead.

Maria Butterfield came to London to track down her groom-to-be, who's gone missing, but her engagement won't stop Oliver from getting what he wants: her, in his bed. His rebellious masquerade may call his    grandmother's bluff, but it's soon made all too real—by a love that tempts him to be a hellion no more.

This Saturday's Drink

Homemade Thai Iced Coffee


Makes 2 servings


INGREDIENTS

1 ounce dark French roast coffee, coarsely ground (use the richest you can find)
2 cups boiling water
2-3 tablespoons low-fat condensed milk
1 cup ice cubes*

DIRECTIONS

Grind coffee beans.  Measure out 1 ounce (about 4 heaping tablespoons) and place in French press. Cover with boiling water and let it steep for 4-5 minutes. Press, then pour the filtered coffee into two glasses, leaving room at the top for condensed milk and ice.
Stir in the condensed milk, then fill the glass with coffee ice cubes. Enjoy!
* I like to make coffee ice cubes by pouring any extra brewed coffee into ice cube trays. Using coffee ice cubes helps to keep your iced coffee nice and strong, rather than diluting it with regular ice.(Found at: http://blog.kitchenaid.com/homemade-thai-iced-coffee-recip/)
