From Hollywood's red carpet to a farm stand in Missouri.
Four novels about finding love in the unlikeliest of
places…
Maid to Crave by Rebecca Avery (Man
Maid, Book 2)
Single mom Tori Stewart doesn't know her housekeeper, former
army man Seth Lewis, has many other creative uses
for the feather duster. Until a night out on the town
showcases those talents. Now Tori can't stop
fantasizing about the housekeeper/exotic dancer—who's
proving to be so much more than the sum of his spectacular
parts.
All I Have by Nicole Helm
Mia Pruitt is determined to have a successful year at her
farmer's market stand, but her fierce competitor keeps
taking off his shirt to attract female customers. Mia might
know more about apples and oranges than men, but she can't
deny her attraction to Dell. Now, as the battle of the farm
stands heat up, Mia and Dell arrive at the perfect
compromise—they'll have fun, till it's not….
The Last First Date by Maggie Wells
First date number forty-eight comes to a screeching halt for
detective Langley Sheppard when his date lifts a pack of gum
from the local convenience store. But things start looking
up when he encounters spunky damsel in distress Jessica
Vickers, who's stranded in the store parking lot. Now Lang
is about to discover that on a night when everything goes
wrong, falling for Jessica feels spectacularly right.
Light My Fire by Kristina Knight
Lily MacIntyre's life is offtrack, and she knows exactly how
to right it: shed her America's sweetheart image in a big
way. Getting down and dirty in a limo with rocker Nate
Lansford seems like the perfect solution. Plus, she's had a
mad crush on him practically since birth. The only problem?
Nate is her brother's best friend…and he doesn't see her as
anything other than a surrogate little sister.
Great post, Kristina! Loved Little House on the Prairie! One of my favorite fictional heroines was a book character-Trixie Belden. Just loved her crime solving skills! (Jennifer Lowery Kamptner 9:18am June 3, 2014)
I would have to say Stephanie Plum, because her life is simple, yet complicated, but she can handle it. She's on her own, and has her own place. She has great friends, and great lovers. Her Family is a little crazy, but they love her unconditionally. Her life in general speaks to me, because I wish that I could be so fortunate in certain areas of my life. I wish I could be more specific, but to answer more would be very painful for me. (Peggy Roberson 9:23am June 3, 2014)
Too many to list, but Laura's one of them. Jo March. Trixie Belden. Your Esmerelda. My own Grace Elliot. Fun post! (Liz Flaherty 9:34am June 3, 2014)
I remember Trixie, Jennifer - she was a HOOT!
Peggy, that is true. I do love Stephanie's no-nonsense approach to (most) things....and I hope you find the honest, accepting relationships you are looking for in more than a book. Good luck to you!
Aw, Liz, you gave Esme a shout-out! I love you for that! Your Grace is DEFINITELY on my list, along with Jo from Little Women and even Bridget Jones! :) (Kristina Knight 1:09pm June 3, 2014)
I used to love Little House when I was younger. But since then, I've gotten into paranormals. Pheobe from Charmed has become a big favorite. In books, there are too many to name, especially from Sherrilynn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. (Shawn Dalton-smith 9:26pm June 3, 2014)
I have so many. But, they all have similar personalities. They are tough on the outside but vulnerable on the inside. Spunky too, like Laura. I loved how she would light into Nellie. I like a heroine who won't let herself be cowed by anyone but shows her vulnerability to those she loves. (Debbie Kelly 2:53pm June 4, 2014)
