Jade Lee | My Favorite Winter Pick Me Up!

February 3, 2016

1. Curling up with a good book while lounging under a thick blanket. And my cat purring against my belly.
2. An extra chocolately mocha hits me just right on a cold morning.
3. Fun leggings.
   


4. Baking. It heats up the house with yummy smells!
5. Racquetball tournament season. Every weekend, I’m making grown men cry as I trounce them on the court.
   

Answer: C -- Fun leggings! I bought a package of cheap fun print thermal leggings. They’re too hot to wear other times of the year, but in winter, I love blinding anyone who sees me! Here’s a picture. My husband even says, they’re so loud, he can hear them downstairs.

As for the other things, a good book comes very close, but I love that all the time. Right now I’m reading Courtney Milan’s TRADE ME and am blown away by how wonderful it is. Very humbling. If she weren’t such a great person, I’d hate her for setting the quality bar so high.

An extra chocolately mocha hits me right EVERY morning. Racquetball is a year round sport for me, though the winter is indeed tournament season. But I don’t compete that often anymore. I’m starting to feel my age. *sigh*. Though it is always fun to beat an arrogant guy in a sport! And baking … um, not my thing. Whenever I try it, the house gets filled with very yucky smells. Burned fish anyone? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

So now it’s your turn. What are you doing to make yourself smile this winter? One lucky commenter will get a set of all of Jade’s first four Bridal Favors books plus a mouse pad!

About Jade Lee

A USA Today Bestseller, Jade Lee has been scripting love stories since she first picked up a set of paper dolls. Ball gowns and rakish lords caught her attention early (thank you Georgette Heyer), and her fascination with the Regency began. And as a Taurus, she lives to pit a headstrong woman against a tortured hero just to watch them butt heads on the way to true love. Flesh wounds are rare, but the healing and laughter are real.

Now an author of more than 30 romance novels, she finally gets to set these couples in the best girl-heaven of all: a Bridal Salon! This way she gets to live out all her wedding fantasies, one by one. (Let's be honest, what girl has only one idea for her dream wedding?)

And don't forget Jade's other name, Kathy Lyons. That's Jade's lighter, contemporary side. She writes for Harlequin Blaze merging hawt sex and funny relationships into really great reads.

About ONE ROGUE AT A TIME

Brant Hallowsby grew up on the fringes of high society; he’s neither a commoner nor a true nobleman. As a bastard son of nobility, he can talk the talk, but ultimately has nothing to lose…and that’s exactly what Bluebell Ballenger needs.

Bluebell needs Brant’s help so that she can become a perfect English rose, because, like him, she’s both a part of the ton and excluded from it. Brant knows she’s hiding something from him, but as he starts falling for her soft skin and sparkling eyes, it no longer seems to matter. Until he discovers the one thing that could tear them apart.

Re: Jade Lee | My Favorite Winter Pick Me Up!

curl up by the fire under a blanket I love this weather no

still love it

I am enjoying myself in front of the fireplace with a large cup of hot cocoa
and a great book! Also, my cozy throw blankets are coming in handy right
now too! Other than that, I am trying to stay indoors as the snow is coming
down.

I like to curl up with a good book in my favorite chair. I'd be
drinking that mocha if I didn't have diabetes so it's coffee w/o the
chocolate, sigh. Thanks for the giveaway

I live in a very cold part of the U.S.; however, there are
always things to give me a winter pick-me-up.

For starters, I have gone back to school after a lengthy
period away. While I am admittedly struggling with some
aspects of it-such as the potential tests and social
cliques-I do love being back in a learning environment.

What picks me up the most? Reading and knowing that soon,
pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training! (I am a
major sports fan.)

Winter, huh? Well, in my part of Texas, it's been sunny with temperatures in the 60s and 70s. I'm ready to start gardening! But, if I did have wintry weather, I'd like to curl up in my recliner with a good book, a soft blanket and a cup of herbal tea. Thanks for a good post.

Curl up with a book
(Marissa Yip-Young 6:22am February 4, 2016)

I'm curling up in a warm room (space heater!) with a good book.
(Janie McGaugh 10:03am February 4, 2016)

Well I usually curl up with a good book and a hot drink. Since I'm disabled with severe RA I can't really do anything really active. I also like to watch old movies.
(Linda Henderson 10:23am February 4, 2016)

i love to curl up with my pug Pebbles,a blanket and a great
book!
(Angie White 10:56am February 4, 2016)

My favorite time is curling up in front of the fireplace
(or the little space heater) with a good book, a cup of
coffee and my cat!
(Marguerite Guinn 11:16am February 4, 2016)

Oh that's simple...my books and a cup of tea!!! I'm in heaven!!!!!
(Bonnie Capuano 12:02pm February 4, 2016)

I love to knit so I have been making scarves left and right. I love funky colors and designs too! Oh and a good mug of hot tea or chocolate!
(Heather Hardy 12:39pm February 4, 2016)

Great prize, I'd love to win.
(Wilma Frana 1:19pm February 4, 2016)

I'm love to embroider so I'm working on some bibs for
friends.
(Elsie Hogarth 1:56pm February 4, 2016)

After dinner I go to bed with a good book and a pot of tea!! One way to stay warm in the winter!
(Joanne Schultz 2:24pm February 4, 2016)

I am walking more instead of sitting and reading books.
(Joy Isley 2:28pm February 4, 2016)

Enjoy reading your books.
(Mary Pitre 2:50pm February 4, 2016)

I curl up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate, sometimes with homemade whipped topping.
(Lena Lee 4:49pm February 4, 2016)

I line dance with a group of women 60 plus and we practice once a week and we go somewhere once a week . We go mostly to nursing homes around and close to our hometown , and other events close . We hope to put some smiles on our faces and whomever is watching us . In the evenings I love to get in my warm bed ( electric blanket )with a good book and read the rest of the night .

staying warm near the fireplace with hot chocolate and good
books to read!
(Darlene Carroll 12:26pm February 5, 2016)

My books, my blanket and my cup of tea!!
(Bonnie Capuano 9:31am February 6, 2016)

I love reading or watching TV under a warm blanket,
preferably with my bunny rabbits around. My husband laughs
because he'll come down at a certain time of day and we'll
all be sleeping.
(Marcia Berbeza 12:39pm February 7, 2016)

There is nothing better than my ugly soft sweater, my
soft cozy blanket, a nice steamy cup of tea, my warm
kitty on one side, my youngest daughter on the other
side, and a great book to read. I also really love making
soups, chili, and oatmeal when it's really cold out. I
just love how they can warm everyone up and they are
total comfort foods.
(Crystal Cox 1:56am February 7, 2016)

I curl up with a good book and sweat shirt and pants in a comfortable chair. We are expecting another snow storm next week.
Make hot soup and hot cups of tea.
(Betty Gabriel 12:00pm February 7, 2016)

I like to drink hot tea while working crossword puzzles or cover myself with a warm blanket while reading an interesting book. Recently, I started crocheting again and while watching television and discovered the activity keeps me warmer.
(Anna Speed 12:55pm February 7, 2016)

I'm trying to declutter my house! I think I'll feel better
with less stuff around (and have room for more books!).
(Diane Sallans 5:36pm February 7, 2016)

I 'm giving away old things , but I always need more books. :-)
