From the Audiobook Specials thread there's an Audible link for members to a "Christmas in July" list. One of which is a short romance

Holiday Sparks by Shannon Stacey



House-sitting for her parents seemed like a good idea, until the microwave blew up and the lights went out.

Now Chloe Burke thinks upgrading the electrical system of her childhood home while they are away would make the perfect Christmas gift. Fortunately, there's an electrician in town who can get the job done by the holidays.

Scott Quinn has wanted to get his hands on the Burkes' wiring for almost as long as he's wanted to get his hands on their daughter. Chloe didn't notice Scott back in high school, but she's noticing him now, and soon they're indulging in a little festive fun: no strings, no expectations. After all, Chloe plans to get out of this goldfish bowl of a town and back to her real life in Boston by New Year's.

But Chloe and Scott discover they enjoy each other's company just as much out of bed. Could their holiday fling turn out to be the real thing?

It sounded like Women's Fiction from the blurb.
That's a pretty generic label, I've found. I've seen it with romance as a minor theme and with no real romance at all (or just use for anything with female characters or something "women would like to read").

It may or may not fit as romance, but I thought it worth picking up, to go with her other work.

For me Romance is a HEA or HFN ending with the h/h otherwise I don't read it. ChikLit I think most of the time has a HEA or HFN ending but Women Fiction doesn't always have it.

Shot of Sultry by Macy Beckett
(Sultry Springs 02)
Genre: Small Town Romance
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca (March 5, 2013)
Quote:
Welcome to Sultry Springs, Texas: where home can be the perfect place for a fresh start.

For West Coast filmmaker Bobbi Gallagher, going back to Sultry Springs is a last resort. But with her career in tatters, a documentary set in her hometown might be just what she needs to salvage her reputation. She just can't let anything distract her again. Not even the gorgeous contractor her brother asked to watch over her. As if she can't handle filming a few rowdy Texans.

Golden boy Trey Lewis, with his blond hair and Technicolor-blue eyes, is a leading man if Bobbi ever saw one. He's strong and confident and -- much to her delight -- usually shirtless. He thinks keeping his best friend's baby sister out of trouble will be easy. But he has no idea of the trouble in store for him...

Well it's my Vacation time! *does party dance* No more having to deal with hubby antics for awhile as I am wore out! He is doing great! His parents get to take care of him for a few days. I needed the break badly. I've been ill myself for the past 3 days but I am feeling much better today.

So I plan to sit back and catch up on reading finally!. Watch the BBC's Pride & Prejudice series that Kg3 sent me. So I will finally get to see it! Eat some munchies and relax with my two cats. It's a girl's weekend. Me, Maisy and Sweetpea.

Enjoy your vacation. Glad you will have the chance to relax. And enjoy P&P. Is it the 1995 Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle version (by far the best IMO) or the 1980 Elizabeth Garvie/David Rintoul version (which I also own)? Both were BBC productions.

The 1995 one. A very wonderful person sent it to me so I can finally see it. I don't know what I am going to do with myself. I think some naps would be very good to add in there. The cats are already doing just that. They feel neglected this last week so going to give them plenty of attention to make up for it.

I've got two more chapters of my book to finish then I need something new. I am reading YA Novel called Storm by Brigid Kemmerer. Pretty good doesn't need alot of attention or emotion so a quick read which was perfect for when hubby was napping.

Not sure it's entirely happy, but I do see Romance applied as a tag and in many of the reviews (pro and Amazon). It's also classified as romance by the author (or the original publisher).
