Her name is Peaches, huh? *giggle* 😉 It’s already making me chuckle. I’ve been told that tears are involved, but they are tears of laughter. I LOVE the sound of that! And and!! It’s of the “famous actor/normal girl” genre, plus I’m getting a love triangle (love square?) vibe. YAY US!! Something lighthearted, steamy and fun (and quite possibly angsty)! And the reviews make it look awesome!

About book #1:
Peaches Monroe is a curvy blonde who manages a little bookstore, in a small town in Washington State. She’s twenty-two, and shares a house with her cousin, who’s also her best friend. Life is good for Peaches. Simple, but good. Sometimes she gets a little wild and goes drunk-shopping on the internet. She’s never had a boyfriend, but that just leaves more time for her books.
Dalton Deangelo is a hot, young actor who sets ladies’ hearts on fire. He shot to stardom from out of nowhere, and he’s very secretive about his past, preferring to focus on his work. He’s famous for playing the sexiest bad boy vampire on TV. Week after week, he’s seen kissing beautiful, thin actresses … or burying his face between their legs.
Now Dalton is in Beaverdale, Washington, to shoot an indie movie over the summer. He comes running into the bookstore looking for a place to hide from reporters, and refuses to leave until he gets a date with Peaches. As soon as Peaches kisses Dalton, her quiet, small-town life begins to unravel.
Peaches Monroe is launched toward the stars, beginning with a job in LA as a plus-size model for a line of sexy underwear.
Her relationship with Dalton has its obstacles, and she finds herself entangled not just with Dalton, but with a passionate male underwear model named Keith Raven, as well as an old crush from her past, Adrian Storm.
Life has become anything but simple for Peaches Monroe. Will her summer end in a wedding? And if so, who will be the groom?
