 COMEDY ROMANCE ALERT!! And book #3 JUST WENT LIVE!!!

About book #1:

Number-crunching Velma Johnson’s perfectly planned life is right on course.

That’s a lie. Sure, she’s got the lucrative job. She’s got the posh apartment. But her sister nabbed Velma’s Mr. Right. There has to be a man out there for Velma. Hopefully, one who’s hunky, wears pressed suits, and has a diversified financial portfolio. He’ll be exactly like, well… her sister’s new fiancé. read more

Reader Question – The book about the famous actor that loses his memory…

By 2 Comments

Jessica has one for us to help her look for! Oh I love this famous actor/regular girl stories, and this one sounds like it has an added oomph to it! Could it be a sort of… bully-to-good guy book? 😀

She asks:

Does anyone remember the name of the book where the H is a famous actor and loses his memory in an accident?

And the assistant is the h who hated him at first because he was so awful to work for.

But after the accident he becomes a better person?

Anyone have a guess?

Reader Question – The book about the affluent hero that invites the heroine & her family to stay at his house…

And here’s Sue’s second question of the day. Hrmmm… this one stumps me (kind of a general summary) but there is just enough detail that it might spark someone’s memory.

She asks:

The hero is someone of importance (King, Prince, other royalty, government official, mega businessman, etc.)

There might’ve been threats involved, but the H invites the h and her family to come stay with him and his house by the water.

The last thing I remember is to get some privacy between the two they go to an old cottage not far from the main house. This cottage also somehow belongs to his family and they camp out there for a night or two. Nothing else to do they talk and get to know the true sides of each other. read more
