Book Description
When a championship-bound coach (Patrick Duffy) adds some notoriously untalented kids to his team on a bet, the players view it as their chance to learn from the master. But the scheming coach has other plans, which include not letting them play. When young Kanin and friends uncover the plot and the coach is dismissed, the team disintegrates--or does it? With the help of Kanin's determined mom (Tracy Nelson) and a past-his-prime coach (a blustery Ed Asner), the multiracial, coed team pulls it together enough to make it to the playoffs, where they face... you guessed it, Duffy and his new team. The latest in a long line of underdog kids sports movies, which started with The Bad New Bears, this 96-minute film from Disney TV has neither the wit nor the grit of its inspiration, but it serves as reasonable family entertainment. Baseball fans will have to forgive its casual approach to the rules of the game, however. (Ages 5 and older).

Book Description
A Hunter's life is not for everyone. Those few who do take up the duty are in for an interesting life, filled with constant travel, boredom, and loneliness; punctuated by moments of sheer terror--terror severe enough to send the strongest of men running for his mommy. That is the way it's supposed to be, but no one told the Demon Hunter Gabrielle, that she would meet a Vampire whose fate she sees. She also finds two wayward female Hell spawn whose service she gains for all of eternity. This is just the beginning of her story, as she deals with thieves, bandits, and drunkard witches, before being drawn into a prophecy that tells of the coming of a great evil, and her part in stopping it. There is just the simple matter of keeping her Hell spawn servants out of trouble, as well as out of the cross hairs of other Hunters. And that Vampire will not leave her mind--she cannot forget what she saw, as she knows what fate that holds for her

Book Description
BEAUTY AND THE RANGER The surprise of his life awaited David Hartwell at the top of the Montana mountain: besides a sprawling mansion, he’d also inherited his late father’s ward. Beautiful, enticing Ellen Candler didn’t flee at the sight of his scarred face. Because she couldn’t see it. Although she was blind, Ellen had never given up hope of one day recovering her sight. But she didn’t need her eyes to tell her this overpoweringly masculine forest ranger was running away from something. While he was coaxing her down from her sheltered mountain existence, Ellen was secretly waging her own campaign of seduction to turn her reluctant guardian into a loving mate…for life.

#1?New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout draws readers into the extraordinary, irresistible world of Wardens and demons in the New York Times bestselling series The Dark Elements. WHITE HOT KISS: Book 1 Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal—fit in at school, and go out on a real date with the gorgeous Zayne. Trouble is, Zayne treats Layla like a sister—and Layla is anything but normal. She's half demon, half gargoyle, with abilities no one else possesses. And even though Zayne is a gargoyle, Layla's kiss will kill anything with a soul—including him. Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know her secrets. Trusting Roth could ruin her chances with Zayne—and brand her a traitor. But as Layla discovers she's the sole reason for a violent demon uprising, kissing the enemy suddenly pales in comparison to the looming end of the world. STONE COLD TOUCH: Book 2 Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla's powers begin to evolve, and she's offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. EVERY LAST BREATH: Book 3 Every choice has consequences—but Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city from destruction. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…

Book Description
What if you met the man of your dreams inside a nightmare? Not everything sounds good when you say it. Some things sound, well, just wrong. Like saying I hired a male escort to be my fiancé leading into (yeah, this is sounding bad) marriage, a fake marriage, one about money. See, that did not sound good at all, but you'll have to just trust me on this, that was the innocent part of the story. You know, the sunny bit before the fall. Because the rest of this story cannot be described in polite company. Not even a little. First it gets, well, unapologetically hot and then it gets wickedly hot and then it kind of goes nuclear and becomes oh-muh-goodness hot. That's Lukas Dupree. He's a-whole-nother level of naughty, but that's not what this is about. This is about the darkness that followed--the chilling turn my story takes after he made me tremble to my core. Maybe the choices mentioned above mean I deserved it all in the end. I don't know. You'll have to tell me. Warning: This book is hot, and funny, and a little dark, all at the same time. Standalone. No cliffhanger -- explicit language. 18+

Book Description
'An exhilarating compendium of ways to use chilli in your cooking.' Guardian 'There's so much more to chillies than fiery heat and this book proves it with its collection of imaginative recipes.' Good Food "Most people think about chillies in terms of heat and their capacity to blow one's head off. I think about how they can delicately pep up a pile of silky aubergines, perhaps already spiced with cardamom, cinnamon and faint dusting of cumin; how dark, tobacco-flavoured chillies can add deep mysterious tones to molten chocolate, how smoky chillies can add body to slow cooked, unctuous stews and how smoked, sweet peppers can add a note of earthiness to eggs, grilled flatbreads and sautéed greens." Thomasina Miers Chillies can add excitement to the simplest, most frugal ingredients. Chilli Notes is full of recipes that excite and tantalise, comfort and warm. Forget food that is simply there to knock you for six, this book aims to seduce the reader with the power of this humble fruit, even those who profess to loathe the slow burn. Chilli Notes is packed with dishes that you can pull together on a weekday night with ingredients you have lying around. Without long lists of exotic ingredients to stand in your way, Chilli Notes will show you how the chilli can be your exotic bedfellow to add a wonderful, unusual note to your home-cooked family food.
