Must Love Dogs by Claire Cook. $ Free at Amazon

From the Jacket Copy:

Forty-year-old preschool teacher Sarah Hurlihy thought she’d set herself up for a great life. She’d married the man she loved. They bought a house, decorated it, and then sat, looking at each other, trying to remember why they’d gotten married in the first place. But Sarah didn’t have to wonder for long; her husband took up with a younger woman, sounding the death knell for their marriage, and propelling Sarah back into singlehood — at the same time as her newly widowed father.

Thrown unwillingly into the suburban dating pool alongside her dad, Sarah is ambivalent about the whole process, despite her ticking clock and thoughts that she might enjoy a child of her own. But Sarah’s large, loving Irish clan comes to her rescue — her married sister placing a personal ad in her name and regularly monitoring Sarah’s dating progress; and her brother, Michael, helps her feel lovable when he seeks out her comfort and advice while riding out his own rocky marriage.

In Must Love Dogs, Claire Cook ably captures the pitfalls of the midlife singles’ scene, with a generous dose of humor and a heaping portion of characters who know better than to take themselves too seriously.

When business mogul Jordan Hill inherits half of Bendura Island Resort, a posh vacation destination in the Fiji Islands, the will demands he release his half uncle’s ashes somewhere on the island and that he indulge in a real vacation before he sells. As Jordan is reeling with grief and under good circumstances doesn’t do vacations, especially if they include horses and looming volcanoes, he finds himself on uneven footing. The footing turns treacherous as Jordan realizes, for the first time in his life, he’s attracted to a man–his new business partner.

For resort entrepreneur Ryan McCale, Bendura Island is a dream come true as well as his livelihood. He was warned Jordan would try to sell sight unseen, and after meeting him, there’s no doubt the business shark has dollar signs in his eyes. But there’s also vulnerability and desire in that chocolate gaze. Suddenly, Ryan’s looking forward to showing Jordan the delights of the island and hoping to convince his new partner Bendura could be his dream, too.

This book is an erotic romance. It contains explicit language, hot m/m lovin’, light kink, two gorgeous guys, horses, and an impending insurance nightmare of a volcano. Enjoy!

A Silver Mirror by Roberta Gellis. $ 1.49

From the Jacket Copy:

Book 4 in the Royal Dynasty series.
Alphonse d’Aix gave his tourney prize of a silver mirror to a lonely little girl. Since her affairs were also left by her father in Alphonse’s hands, Barbara was quite sure he was the man chosen to be her husband. Alphonse was too kind to laugh at an awkward, unhappy thirteen-year-old, but he made it clear that she was not his chosen.

By the time Barbara returned to France, fleeing the unwanted attentions of Guy de Montfort, Alphonse had long regretted his refusal. His immediate proposal of marriage is swiftly accepted. Barbara had hidden her pain but never recovered from her first love. Still, thinking about Aphonse’s past life, Barbara decides a semblance of coldness will be necessary to hold his attention.

However, Guy de Montfort had not forgotten Barbara’s refusal, and was determined out of spite to have her, even if it meant killing Alphonse. But Guy’s attacks drive Barbara and Alphonse into the hands of the rebellious Welsh, and amid the tension and terror of freeing Prince Edward from de Montfort’s prison, their true love is exposed.

Publisher’s Note: Previously published elsewhere in 1989.

The headstrong and beautiful daughter of an English earl, Lady Barbara fights to unite her family divided by a wicked war. But she also struggles with a deep secret–a yearning for the man who first aroused her passions. The notorious Alphonse, the illegitimate son of a French lord, will risk his life to win Lady Barbara’s heart.
