I haven't read this one yet but I did purchase it a few weeks ago based on this review on Dear Author.

The Bro-Magnet by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

Quote:

Women have been known to lament, "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride." For Johnny Smith, the problem is, "Always a Best Man, never a groom." At age 33, housepainter Johnny has been Best Man eight times. The ultimate man's man, Johnny loves the Mets, the Jets, his weekly poker game, and the hula girl lamp that hangs over his basement pool table. Johnny has the instant affection of nearly every man he meets, but one thing he doesn't have is a woman to share his life with, and he wants that desperately. When Johnny meets District Attorney Helen Troy, he decides to renounce his bro-magnet ways in order to impress her. With the aid and advice of his friends and family, soon he's transforming his wardrobe, buying throw pillows, ditching the hula girl lamp, getting a cat and even changing his name to the more mature-sounding John. And through it all, he's pretending to have no interest in sports, which Helen claims to abhor. As things heat up with Helen, the questions arise: Will Johnny finally get the girl? And, if he's successful in that pursuit, who will he be now that he's no longer really himself? THE BRO-MAGNET is a rollicking comedic novel about what one man is willing to give up for the sake of love.

Return of the Rose [Kindle]
Theresa Ragan

http://www.amazon.com/Return-of-the-...266008&sr=1-14

4**** Rating

Twin sisters are born in Medieval England. One of the infants is dying and is taken to the Witch of Devonshire, who uses supernatural powers to transport the ailing babe to the future. It is the year 1986 when Cathy Hayes, a woman who has lost her child and husband in a car accident, finds the baby at her doorstep, gets her the medical attention she needs, and raises the baby as her own. Morgan grows up in the twentieth century with a mysterious attraction to a hollow suit of armor that stands in the window of her mother's antique store.

Morgan is twenty-four years old when she becomes entangled within the armor's metal plates and is whisked back in time where she is mistaken for Amanda Forrester, a twin sister she knows nothing about. In Amanda's place, Morgan is forced to marry King Henry's favored knight, Derek Vanguard, Lord of Braddock Hall. Abandoned by his mother and having failed as a child to gain his father's love, Derek's heart is as cold as the stone walls of his castle.

In the end, Morgan discovers the true power of love and for the first time in her life she knows where she belongs.

Sea Gifts US DE, a fantasy romance short story by Karalynn Lee, who has two books out with Carina Press.

Quote:

When a dragon's skeleton washes up on the lonely isle where Rhis lives, she knows that her past role in the dragon-king's death hasn't been forgotten. But although the dragon-king's heir first comes seeking revenge, he finds something else in her...

Mr. Wonderful US DE, an anthololgy with two stories by Carol Grace.

Quote:

Two romantic short stories from the pages of a popular women's magazine.

THE LONG WEEKEND
"The door to my room in the rented ski cabin opened slowly and a tall, broad-shouldered form ducked under the eaves. Oh, no, not glasses! I never could resist a man who looked intelligent and vulnerable at the same time. The eyes behind the glasses surveyed me in my granny gown as if I was wearing a sexy negligee. So this was Mr. Wonderful, the guy my sister had raved about. Not just raved, she was planning our wedding before we'd even met. Brandon was embarrassed. Or maybe just disappointed.
"You must be Brandon," I said brightly, wrapping a blanket around my shoulders. "Either that or you're the cat burglar."
"And you must be Lady Gaga or Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
"Touche," I said.

SMALL-TOWN HERO
"My dreams reflected my confused, excited and bewildered mind. I saw a woman in a strange town packing her suitcase. Was that me getting ready to follow Steve wherever he was going? Or was that his ex-wife walking out on him because life was too dull in his town? And where did that leave me? Was I in love with Steve or was it the way of life I yearned for? The answer was not to see a dream analyst but to follow my heart."

Light romantic fiction for your lunch hour, coffee break or any time you want an escape from real life.
