Finding Lucas by Samantha Stroh Bailey – Daytime
talk show producer Jamie Ross is beyond fed up with her toxic bad boy
turned metrosexual boyfriend. Spurred on by her gang of quirky friends, she
goes on a hilarious, at-times disastrous, and totally life-changing hunt to
track down the ”one who got away.” But are some loves best left behind? Available
on Amazon.com, Amazon UK and Kobo.
In Need of Therapy by Tracie Banister – Handling
the problems of hysterical hypochondriacs, lovelorn neurotics, and compulsive
man whores is all in a day’s work for super-shrink Pilar Alvarez. But can
she deal with her crazy Cuban family, a trio of unsuitable suitors, and a
threat to her practice without ending up on the couch herself? Available
on Amazon.com, Amazon UK, and B&N.
Lying to Meet You by Anna Garner – Overworked New York fashion girl Chloe Lane has no time for a real relationship, but when her childhood pal asks her to play the part of his girlfriend in order to test a theory, she decides to go for it. The lies start piling up and things start getting crazy. Will Chloe be able to keep it together? Available on Amazon.com, Amazon UK and B&N.
Sealed with a Kiss by Rachael Lucas – Kate
breathes a sigh of relief when she's dumped at her best friend's wedding. When
she takes a job on the island of Auchenmor, she's determined to have a year off
men, but that's before she rescues Flora the seal pup with the help of Roddy,
her mysterious new boss... Available on Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
The Pollyanna Plan by Talli Roland – Emma
Beckett has always looked down on 'the glass is half full' optimists. But when
she loses her high-powered job and fiancé, Emma makes a radical decision: from
here on in, she'll attempt to see the upside, no matter how dire the situation.
Can adopting a positive attitude give Emma the courage to build a new life, or
is finding the good in everything a very bad idea? Available on Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
Blogger Girl by Meredith Schorr – Kimberly
Long has two passions: her successful chick lit blog and Nicholas, her handsome
colleague down the hall. But when her high school nemesis pops onto the chick
lit scene with a hot new book and eyes for Nicholas, Kim has to make some quick
revisions to her own life story. Available on Amazon.com, Amazon UK, B&N, and Apple iTunes. (Blogger note: this is probably one of my favourite books of 2013!)
Izzy’s Cold Feet by Sarah Louise Smith –
Izzy is engaged to Greg, who is everything a girl could want. The trouble
is – all she can think about is the men she loved before she met him. In
the week leading up to her wedding day, Izzy is forced to ask herself who she loves
the most. And, given the choice, who would she want to spend her life with? Available
on Amazon.com, Amazon UK, B&N, and UK Nook.
Fat Girls and Fairy Cakes by Sue Watson –
TV Producer Stella is over worked, over weight and under fire battling to
balance family, career and those weighing scales. In the past she’s always
found comfort at the bottom of her mixing bowl but now the most delicious lemon
sponge with zesty frosting has no effect. However, life is about to get even
tougher... and Stella has to face some truths about herself, her life and her
future. Available on Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
