New Release

  By

The Wedding Party is coming May 7!

LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

Ellie Marone vows she’ll be the best maid of honor, ever. All she has to do is:
 
  • stuff the bride into a too-tight gown,
  • pop the champagne and keep it flowing,
  • resist falling into bed with the best man.

How hard can it be?

Harder than she thinks, because the best man is super-sexy SWAT hero Ryan Murphy, who happens to be Ellie’s ex-boyfriend. The guy who proposed to her three years ago, then moved to LA when she turned him down. The guy who broke her heart.

Now Ryan’s back in Maine for the wedding, and he hasn’t given up on Ellie. He knows how good they are together, and he’ll use every minute of the wedding weekend—and every sexy trick in his playbook—to make sure Ellie remembers too.

Ellie wants to resist him, but the heat in Ryan’s eyes is torching her best intentions. If she’s not careful, the next walk down the aisle might be her own…

The Many Faces of Favor

  By

The coolest thing about watching my books be published around the world is marveling at the diversity in cover designs! What do these wildly different designs say about readers’ tastes in these countries? Is there any deeper meaning to be extrapolated from what foreign publishers apparently believe appeals to women?

With these burning questions in mind, herewith are six takes on The Wedding Favor:

favor-italy

The Italian cover has such a feminine feel. So pink!

favor-france

The French cover is oh so sophisticated and unabashedly sexy. Ooo la la!

favor-spain

The Spanish cover plays up the story’s, well, playfulness.

favor-japan

The Japanese cover is delicate and lovely and contemplative.

favor-holland

The Dutch cover has a distinctly rom-com feel to it.

german favor

The German edition plays up the intimacy between Ty and Vicky. The book has been out longest in Germany, and the cover must be working because it’s selling great! In fact, the whole series is so popular that I’ll be attending the Loveletter Convention for readers in Berlin next May.

So there you have it. The same book, but vastly different takes on what publishers believe will attract romance readers around the world. Fascinating! The title has been changed in each country too, and I’d love to interpret them for you, but multi-lingual I am not. So we’ll have to settle for puzzling over the diversity in cover photos and leave the mystery of titles for another day.
