Maybe her dating past is more <em>Titanic<\/em> than <em>Love Boat<\/em>, but she&#8217;s seen enough happy marriages to know that true love is possible. No matter what, she won&#8217;t give up on happily-ever-after. If she can&#8217;t find Mr. Right, she&#8217;ll simply hire someone who can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>She just doesn&#8217;t know it yet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Brandon Scott inherits a successful matchmaking business, he thinks his prayers have been answered. Set up a few lonely ladies, collect the fee, how hard can it be? No one needs to know he&#8217;s not really a professional matchmaker&#8211;especially not his first client, the beautiful, spirited Alison. Soon he&#8217;s falling for her&#8211;and her dreams of kids and carpools. But Alison is getting close to figuring out his secret, and if she learns he&#8217;s deceived her too, she&#8217;ll walk right out the door, taking Brandon&#8217;s heart with her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My take:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I recently discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janegraves.com\/\">Jane Graves<\/a> and have devoured several of her books in a very short time. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janegraves.com\/heartstringspage.html\">Heartstrings and Diamond Rings<\/a> is a beautiful story of a woman searching for love and the man who didn\u2019t realize he was too. You\u2019ve got some time before it comes out on September 27, so pick up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janegraves.com\/talltalespage.html\">Tall Tales and Wedding Vales<\/a> \u2013 which takes place before Heartstrings (but you can read them in any order).<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7231\" style=\"margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"goodgirlsdont170\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/goodgirlsdont170.jpg?resize=170%2C269\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"269\" \/>Good Girls Don\u2019t by Victoria Dahl<\/h2>\n<p>With her long ponytail and sparkling green eyes, Tessa Donovan looks more like the girl next door than a businesswoman \u2013 or a heartbreaker. Which may explain why Detective Luke Asher barely notices her when he arrives to investigate a break-in at her family\u2019s brewery. He\u2019s got his own problems \u2013 starting with the fact that his partner Simone is pregnant and everyone thinks he&#8217;s the father. The last thing he needs is a nice girl like Tessa getting under his skin.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa has her hands full, too. Her brother\u2019s playboy ways may be threatening the business, and the tensions could tear her tight-knit family apart.\u00a0 In fact, the only thing that could unite the Donovan boys is seeing a man come after their \u201cbaby\u201d sister. Especially a man like Luke Asher. But Tessa sees past the rumors to the man beneath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My take:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this novel (you can <a href=\"http:\/\/theseasonforromance.com\/2011\/contemporary\/sept-good-girls-dont-victoria-dahl.php\">read my review here<\/a>), which is the first in a quick-release three-book series about siblings who own a microbrewery in Denver. Personally, I liked the second and third books in the series more than this one, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victoriadahl.com\/ExcerptGoodGirlsDont.html\">Good Girls Don\u2019t<\/a> is still a great read and sets up the story that runs throughout the series.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7230\" style=\"margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"inseconds170\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/inseconds170.jpg?resize=170%2C269\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"269\" \/>In Seconds by Brenda Novak<\/h2>\n<p><strong>In the whole state of Montana, there&#8217;s nowhere to hide. . .<\/strong> Laurel Hodges has changed her identity twice. She&#8217;s been on the run for the past four years, trying to outdistance the men who blame her for the death of one of their own. She&#8217;s finally found the peace and stability she needs, for herself and her two children, in the small town of Pineview, Montana.<\/p>\n<p>But just when she thinks they&#8217;re safe \u2014 the nightmare starts all over again. The Crew, a ruthless prison gang with ties to Laurel&#8217;s brother, will never forget and they&#8217;ll never forgive. And now that they&#8217;ve finally found her again, they&#8217;ll stop at nothing. It could all end in seconds. Only Sheriff Myles King stands between Laurel and the men who want her dead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My take:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second book in Brenda Novak\u2019s Prison-Break-style <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendanovak.com\/books_bulletproof.html\">Bulletproof series<\/a> doesn\u2019t have as gripping a romance as the first (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendanovak.com\/books_bulletproof_inside.html\">Inside<\/a>), but it\u2019s still a terrifying, edge-of-your seat suspense full of twists and surprises. Highly recommended. <a href=\"http:\/\/theseasonforromance.com\/2011\/suspense\/sept-in-seconds-brenda-novak.php\">Read my review here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7225\" style=\"margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"animalattraction170\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/animalattraction170.jpg?resize=170%2C274\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"274\" \/>Animal Attraction by Jill Shalvis<\/h2>\n<p><strong>She\u2019s tempting his basic instincts\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sunshine, Idaho, is a quiet ranching town, a perfect place to give injured animals a refuge\u2026or to find one.

There\u2019s nothing like working with injured animals, having a forlorn, grumpy stray kitten make its home under her desk\u2026or enjoying the gorgeous views of her ruggedly sexy boss.<\/p>\n<p>Jade is used to planning everything in her life, but Dell\u2019s understanding has sparked an uncontrollable desire.

That\u2019s what her ex-husband said. That\u2019s what her smart bob and glasses imply. And with her trademark determination, Olivia sets out to remake her life. She\u2019s going to spend time with her girlfriends and not throw it all away for some man. But when an outing with her book club leads her to a brewery taproom, the dark-haired beauty realizes that trouble \u2013 in the form of sexy Jamie Donovan \u2013 may be too tempting to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie Donovan doesn\u2019t mean to be bad. Sure, the wild streak in his wicked green eyes has lured the ladies before. But it\u2019s time to grow up. He\u2019s even ready for a serious romance. But how can that be when Olivia, the only right woman he has ever met, already has him pegged as wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My take: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buy it. Buy it now. I know <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victoriadahl.com\/ExcerptBadBoysDo.html\">Bad Boys Do<\/a> isn\u2019t out yet, but don\u2019t wait.
