title: Ruby Valentine Saves the Day
author: Laurie Friedman
description: K-Gr 3The protagonist from Love, Ruby Valentine (Carolrhoda, 2006) has moved to the mountains, but her love of Valentine's Day and her quest for perfection remain unchanged. She plans a Valentine's Day party with the help of Lovebird, her pet cockatoo with pink crest feathers. Splattered with pink and hearts, the cartoon art is joyful and energetic while the landscapes have a Seuss-like quality. Ruby bakes, cleans, and wraps up her goodies to share, but the cold air rolls in and all her planning comes to naught. No one can make it up the mountain after a snowstorm so she must come up with a solution, with a little help from Lovebird. This good-natured story shows what really matters during holidays: spending time with people you love. It's a good choice for anyone looking for a girls-only Valentine's Day story with a clearly stated message about sharing time rather than money.Sara Lissa Paulson, American Sign Language and English Lower School PS 347, New York City.

zlib_text: A Spanking for Valentine
  Evangeline Anderson
  Valentine Nichols wants two things for her birthday—for Shane Daniels to
  notice her, and a taste of the wild D/s sex scene she’s been longing to
  experience. When she sees Shane at the local BDSM club, she hatches a plan
  to have both and convinces Shane to give her lessons in submission.
  Shane Daniels has wanted Valentine for years but as his best friend’s little
  
  sister, she’s strictly off-limits. But when Valentine talks him into giving her
  D/s lessons, he gives in to some of his darker urges and dominates her
  sexually.
  Now they are locked in a battle of wills as Valentine pushes him for a
  consummation of their new relationship while Shane tries to keep himself
  from taking her completely. Who will win? They’ll both find out when
  Valentine takes her spanking.
