Fiction Family Life

Second in a sexy, playful new series of women's fiction imagining what it might be like for a modern American woman to fall in love with a British aristocrat, from new author Megan Mulry.

Sarah James is an accomplished American woman who heads her own chic shoe company. Devon Heyworth is the rakish, ne'er-do-well younger brother of the 19th Duke of Northrop. When the two meet at the Duke's wedding they embark on a whirlwind weekend romance. And what begins as a casual fling at a royal wedding quickly proves to be far more meaningful. But when a string of misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart, their meddling aristocratic relatives join forces to reunite the star-crossed lovers.

sounds like a great book to read cant wait to start

The book sounds great. And I have always loved Snape from the HP books and think he would make a great romantic character.

Your post was lovely and the novel unique and special. A
character that is not traditionally romantic but has that
"something" is Maxim de Winter.

While I was reading your posting, there was one character who kept screaming out to me. That was Anna, from Anna and the King of Siam. I don't know if you would actually consider her romantic, nor her role in the movie, but it's actually supposed to be a love story. I adored the movie, and still do!! Yul Brynner played an excellent King, and isn't exactly my idea of a catch, but considering it's a love story, I don't know if this one would count. I fell in love with the cover of your book, as well as the story, and would love to read it. Since Anna screamed out to me to put her in for my answer, I'm hoping to have a shot at winning.

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for the comments!

Debbi & Denise - I'm glad this post made the book appeal to you. As a writer,
one always wonders :)

Pam - my great confession is that I still haven't read HP or Twilight. I feel like I
missed the boat. But I've heard of this Snape and think I need to pursue it once
and for all.

Sharon - Two words: Laurence Olivier! Excellent choice.

Peggy - I love The King and I! It was one of the first Broadway plays I ever went
to when I was a ten-year-old girl in New York City in the 70s. Constance
Towers and Yul Brynner. It was splendid! Anna is a great choice.

Thanks again for commenting!

I think Jane Eyre's Mr. Rochester is not traditionally romantic, but he's
really appealing to me. I enjoyed reading your experiences with literary
romance. Your book sounds wonderful! Congratulations and thanks for the
giveaway!!!
(
Linda Brennan 11:35am July 11, 2013)

Hmmm... I can't think of anything. I love all types of romantic stories though. The only thing that I can think of is like the other commenters who say that they like Snape...
(
May Pau 12:21pm July 11, 2013)

Well I have enjoyed many books... some with characters that did not want love or seemed like they were not the type to except it, but things come around in the end... gotta love those HEAs.
(

Oh I like that observation from the excerpt. I am certainly picking this up it will be a must read for me. It is very true that we must watch what people do and not listen to what people say. Many times true feelings are reflected in the smallest actions. I don't remember exactly what books they are from but there were some characters where small things mattered so much. A man remembering a favorite food or childhood memory that seemed so unimportant to others but to the woman it meant the whole world.

One that has always struck me as romantic and beautiful was the winter sleigh-ride scene in Dr. Zhivago. I saw this when I was very young and loved it. I must say, I was mesmorized by it! I also loved the scene from Pretty Woman when she walks into the clothing boutique where the clerks had snubbed her a few days prior, dressed to the "nines" and they didn't recognize her and she said, "Remember Me?" She then gave them a piece of her mind about how they treated her by the way she looked! Your book sounds good, and I'm loving the cute cover!
(
Linda Luinstra 5:15pm July 11, 2013)

I will show my age with my comment, but I can remember scenes from Archie Bunker where he was so blunt and abrasive but deep down he loved Edith very much. I always felt that deep connection she had with him, and sometimes the writers let his vulnerability show too. That was so wonderful.

That comment aside, I would love to get to know you as an author and your book sounds very interesting; something that I would really love to read. It would be wonderful if I could get to be the recipient of this giveaway and so thank you for that opportunity.

Much success.

I have to say one of my favorites romantic characters would have to be
Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. I hope i win a copy of the book. It
sounds wonderful. Thanks for the giveaway!
(
Sarah Bauman 8:29pm July 11, 2013)

That's where you have me, because I am ALWAYS drawn to the untraditionally romantic characters! :-)
(
Chelsea Brooks 10:09pm July 11, 2013)

Romantic but not really...I would have to go to my younger years and go
with Kermit & Ms. Piggy. They cared for each other, chasing, and karate
chops where involved.
(
Laura Gullickson 10:11pm July 11, 2013)

Cannot think of any any favorite scenes or characters who are not traditionally considered romantic,but your book sounds like one that is going to be hard for me to put down once I start reading it
(

Winnie Foster and Jesse Tuck in Tuck Everlasting. The book, not the movie (although I greatly enjoy both). In the book, they both have such an innocence to how they see the world and their expectations from life. While an obvious couple in the movie, it isnt as much so in the book, yet there is something striking about what they could've had if Winnie made a different choice.
(
Samantha King 10:34pm July 11, 2013)

I really like the cover of your book. I don't know why; it's
just so appealing to me
(
Kelsie Budhu 11:47pm July 11, 2013)

Yes a few I love the geeks or typically NOT romantic but have something about them like loving pets, a cool skill or humour that is awesome.
(
Darci Paice 11:48pm July 11, 2013)

Yes, I agree that Willy Wonka and Kermit the Frog and Miss
Piggy were funny too. Thanks for the great memories and I
love your book cover: IF THE SHOE FITS and it seems
fascinating and I would love to win and read it this summer.
Thank You very much. Cecilia CECE

I'm thinking Jack Sparrow from the Pirates movies. He doesn't
fill the traditional hero role, but there's just something
about him...
(
Margay Roberge 12:14pm July 12, 2013)

could win
(
Kent Cook 12:14pm July 12, 2013)

It would When Harry Meet Sally. Harry and Sally just don't seemed right for each other but at the end they did ended up as a couple.
(
Kai Wong 1:38am July 12, 2013)

I guess I read mostly traditional romances. Can't think of any untraditional romances that I've read.
(
Carol Woodruff 4:23pm July 12, 2013)

I feel that "something" when men can't admit to feelings of
being flawed or vulnerable and the acts of forgiveness we all
want them to participate. The two hardest words to say is
"I'm sorry."
(
Alyson Widen 6:22pm July 12, 2013)

I can't think of any right off my head, but your book sounds great.
