April's Affections and Intrigues: Love and Mystery Bloom


Barnes & Noble

New and Now
What’s Hot in New Adult and Contemporary Romance

Love for a Career

What is more inspiring than hearing or reading about someone who finds a way to do what they love and make a career out of it, whether it is through writing, political activism, or something else? From Hillary Clinton to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, there are few things I love more than seeing successful women taking charge of their career passions. Sometimes, finding that career success is a quiet endeavor, one happens gradually over time, and sometimes, it happens quicker than one ever dreamed. Regardless, I cannot help but find encouragement and inspiration through their strong examples every time.

Finding new adult and contemporary romance stories where the protagonist thrives in their career or just plain enjoys their job is wonderful. Below are three stories where as hot as the romance is, the characters’ career lives are just as sizzling. Not to mention when the romance happens in a workplace, the combination of business and pleasure is nearly sinful.

AFLAME by Penelope Douglas

AFLAME

About: From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Bully, Until You, Rival, and Falling Away comes the sizzling conclusion to the Fall Away series. The tables have turned. Now I have the power—and it’s his turn to beg… Everyone wants to be me. Maybe it’s the sway of my skirt or the way I flip my hair, but I don’t care. Even though their attention is the last thing I crave, I just can’t stop. I dominate the track, the speed rattles my bones, and the wind and the crowd screams my name. I’m her. The girl driver. The queen of the race. And I’m surviving—something he thought I’d never do. They all talk about him. Did you see Jared Trent on T.V? What did you think of his last race, Tate? When is he coming back to town, Tate? But I refuse to care too much. Because when Jared does come home, I won’t be here. Tatum Brandt is gone. I’m someone new.

BEAUTIFUL SECRET by Christina Lauren

BEAUTIFUL SECRET
BEAUTIFUL SECRET

About: AN UPTIGHT BRITISH EXECUTIVE. AN ADVENTUROUS AMERICAN NEWBIE. A SEXY INTERNATIONAL SCANDAL IN THE MAKING.

New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Christina Lauren’s Beautiful and Wild Seasons series hook up in Beautiful Secret for an erotic intercontinental romp that celebrates the best of both worlds!

When Ruby Miller’s boss announces he’s sending her on an extended business trip to New York City, she’s shocked. As one of the best and brightest young engineers in London, she knows she’s professionally up to the task. The part that’s throwing her is where she’ll be spending a month up close and personal working alongside—and staying in a hotel with—Niall Stella, her firm’s top urban planning executive and The Hottest Man Alive. Despite her ongoing crush, Ruby is certain Niall barely knows she’s alive…until their flirty overnight flight makes him sit up and take notice.

Not one for letting loose and breaking rules, recently divorced Niall would describe himself as hopeless when it comes to women. But even he knows outgoing California-girl Ruby is a breath of fresh air. Once she makes it her mission to help the sexy Brit loosen his tie, there’s no turning back. Thousands of miles from London, it’s easy for the lovers to play pretend. But when the trip is over, will the relationship they’ve built up fall down?

BROKEN JULIET by Leisa Rayven

BROKEN JULIET
BROKEN JULIET

About: Despite destroying Cassie Taylor twice before, Ethan Holt now wants another chance, but how can she possibly take him back knowing it could all go to hell again? And yet, knowing how much she still loves him, how can she not?

Second chances are hard to come by. Third chances, even more so.

Shakespeare once wrote, “The course of true love never did run smooth.” Next to that quote, he should have included a picture of Cassie and Ethan.

Re: Love for a Career

I wasn't going to comment, but after reading your posting, I
just couldn't let my thoughts go!! It's funny that you
would mention Hillary Clinton. Yes, activist is a proper
name out of many to call her, and she's running for selfish
reasons. Every time she runs, she reinvents herself. Just
look back at the prior campaigns. They're out there!! She
has too many holes in this one, that she can't fill with
words - Benghazi, her e-mails, for example. The list gets
longer, if I think long enough, but just woke up a short
time ago. I admire any Woman who has the best interest of
the Country, and who has good morals to boot, who doesn't do
things to go down in History as the 1st to do certain
things. I admire the girl in the middle east who was shot
in the face, has recovered, yet continues to speak out
against violence. There are others whose names escape me.
As for the books you chose, I have taken them into
consideration, and have picked the ones I liked and added
them on my TBR list. Sorry to have gotten on a soapbox, but
really felt the need.
