"You think a Russian gangster is scared of a judge?" Tattooed muscleman Valentine is the Russian mob's brain and muscle. He laughs at his court dates, and he's definitely not scared of the scrawny federal judge trying to lecture him. He'll skate on the charges. His body and his cash get him what he needs -- without worrying about love. "I'm a forty-year-old virgin, and I can't stop thinking about that gangster in my courtroom." Nerdy judge Peter knows not to get involved with the accused. But Valentine is irresistible. A mild-mannered judge isn't supposed to obsess over a muscular, tattooed Russian gangster. And a man famous for avoiding relationships and avoiding the law isn't supposed to get googly-eyed over a nerd in a black robe. Judging Valentine is a hot Miami jock-nerd gay romance with a feel-good HEA.

The New York Times bestselling Cat is back just in time for Valentine’s Day! Full of humor and heart, this picture book is perfect for fans of Bad Kitty, Mo Willems’s Elephant and Piggie books, and of course, Cat’s other capers, including Here Comes the Easter Cat, Here Comes Santa Cat, and Here Comes the Tooth Fairy Cat. Cat does NOT like Valentine's Day. It's much too mushy, and no way is he making anyone a valentine—especially not his new neighbor, Dog. Dog refuses to respect the fence: He keeps tossing over old bones and hitting Cat in the head! But just as Cat’s about to send Dog an angry "valentine" telling him exactly what he can do with his bones, Dog throws a ball over the fence. What is Dog playing at? Cat is in for a hilarious—and heartwarming—surprise in this story about being perhaps too quick to judge. A great Valentine's Day gift for any age—read it on Valentine's Day and year-round!

This book is a collection of letters from a religious Jew in Israel to a Christian friend in Barcelona on life as an Orthodox Jew. Equal parts lighthearted and insightful, it's a thorough and entertaining introduction to the basic concepts of Judaism.
