Hi, all! Jennifer here!

Valentine's Day is almost upon us!! And in case you didn't know by now, I wrote a Valentine's Day romance called A LITTLE BIT CUPID that was just released!

We all celebrate this holiday in some way or another, so I thought it would be fun to take a look at some Valentine's Day facts!

For instance, did you know...

Over $1 billion worth of chocolate is purchased for Valentine's Day in the U.S?

About 189 million stems of roses are sold in the U.S on Valentine's Day?

Richard Cadbury produced the first box of chocolates for Valentine's Day in the late 1800's?

73% of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men, while only 27 percent are women?

15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is the 2nd highest card sending holiday--right after Christmas?

Here's a little secret:
my hubby won't buy me chocolate on Valentine's Day. He says it's too cliche for him. But that's okay. I buy my own, thus contributing to the $1 billion worth of chocolate statistic. :-)

And in case you're now in the mood for reading about love, here's a little bit about my romance A LITTLE BIT CUPID:

Finding love should be easy, but wedding photographer Phoebe Ward knows better. When Cupid shows up on a crazy mission to help her —and save the world in the process—Phoebe realizes love might be even more complicated than she thought. Even with Cupid showing her Mr. Right , she can’t stop thinking about his best friend, Mr. Wrong.

Cal Crawford has never had time for love, but now he’s falling for Phoebe. Which means it’s got to be just plain wrong to set her up with his best friend, right? But even though seeing Phoebe with someone else will break his heart, he can’t walk away from her.

Phoebe can’t afford to choose the wrong guy with the fate of the world at stake. But maybe Cupid has it wrong. Maybe she has to rely just a little bit on Cupid, and a whole lot more on her heart.
