I’ve decided to start a little early, before I run off to Orlando for a week for RT.
Today’s book is:
Mandy Roth and Michelle Pillow’s Red Light Specialist!
Three sexy secret agents. Three even sexier missions…
Bianca, Sonja and Trinity were given a choice—become RLS-69 special agents or continue to serve out their prison sentences at the Restigatio Woman’s Correctional Facility. Trained to complete their mission by any means necessary, these women aren’t afraid to pull out all the stops. With their freedom on the line, they’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done. From combat to seduction, their targets won’t know what hit them until it’s too late. There’s only one problem…their handsome targets have a few secret weapons of their own.
You can check out Mandy Roth’s awesome website for the backstory, maps and other fun stuff about Red Light Specialists!
Today’s Question: What’s your favorite summertime treat?
I’ll choose a winner at random from the comments by tomorrow, April 16th at noon pacific!
DAY ONE CLOSED FOR COMMENTS!
Watermelon is my favorite summertime treat.
by Crystal B. April 15th, 2009 at 6:33 amCantaloupe and honeydew melons.
by Diane M. April 15th, 2009 at 6:37 amBlue Bell Cookies and Cream Ice Cream…I know it is available year round but I only allow ice cream in the house during the summer!
by Amy M April 15th, 2009 at 7:11 amNo need to enter me into this contest, but I’m so missing summer right now so I had to chime in. (The heat just kicked in again.)
Strawberries! Barbecues!Bonfires! (Those are treat-y, right?)
And wow – Amy is tough. I go for ice cream *year round.*
by limecello April 15th, 2009 at 7:26 amFresh blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream..yum!
by Eshani April 15th, 2009 at 7:58 amThis books looks awesome!
Nikita’s. Don’t know if you’re familiar with it. It comes from Madeira and it’s a Portuguese drink made of vanilla ice cream blended with beer and a secret ingredient they only use over there. No clue what it is.
My mom has made it for us when we were little with either 7up or Sumol which is passion fruit pop and having tried it with beer I still perfer it with the pop.
Gads is it ever good. Damn I’ve got a craving now!
by Nancy April 15th, 2009 at 8:06 amMy favorite is homemade ice cream with a homemade fudge sauce, and fresh strawberries picked from a local strawberry farm. Due to the amount of time it takes we only make this on summer holidays (2-3 times a year). So it is a special treat, made even better by getting together with the ones you love.
by booklover1335 April 15th, 2009 at 8:07 amI love watermelon, too… especially with some sweet chili powder :)

by Cathy M April 15th, 2009 at 10:52 amI love making a fresh fruit “salad” mix. With pineapple, strawberries, grapes, bananas… anything! It’s so refreshing!
by Sally April 15th, 2009 at 11:48 amToday’s Question: What’s your favorite summertime treat?
What my family always called Garden Dinner. Fresh from the garden veggies served outside with a variety of grilled meats and fishes. Served with a great wine or beverage, shared by friends, family. Dessert was chilled fruits over homemade ice cream or sherbets. Some of favorite Summertime memories take place during these meals.
by Lisa Ferris April 15th, 2009 at 12:02 pmStrawberries, Angel Food & Cool Whip otherwise knowns as strawberry shortcake with ice cold lemonade.

by Lorelei Kerns April 15th, 2009 at 5:02 pmI love ice cream and root beer floats, my grandfather made one for me when I was 12 and I’ve been hooked ever since
by Sheila Ellis April 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmIce cream. Nothing better when its hot outside then something cool and sweet.
by Virginia Hendricks April 15th, 2009 at 5:53 pmMy favorite summer treat is watermelon and I agree with the need for salt to go on top. I am really ready for summer…right now, I am snuggled under a blanket waiting for the 5-10 inches of snow to fall that the weatherman is predicting.
Great contest Lauren and I love Mandy’s work.
by Lori T April 15th, 2009 at 6:16 pmCold Watermelon and Cantaloupe!! Yummmm Thanks for the great contest.

by Cheryl McInnis April 15th, 2009 at 6:44 pmOh man, favorite summertime treat. There are so many, really. Homemade lemonade. Or maybe mojitos. Crap. Or limeade. Okay, I’m stopping.
