“I’m proposing we spend some time together,” Steve suggested

“Neither one of us wants a romantic entanglement, this is a sure way to avoid them. You and I…both be on the same page,” Steve added.

“Forgive me if I don’t appear suitably impressed.”

“See, I like that about you.”

“What?” Chloe asked.

“That you speak your mind. That you’re not easily impressed. We have a lot in common. Now, tell you do for fun.”

Chloe was at a momentary loss. “I enjoy reading. And I do some knitting.”

“And?”

“And…I don’t know. I’ve been too busy to have fun.”

“We can fix that.” Steve’s grin was a gradual progression from a smile, making it even more potent.

Dear Reader,

As the days get shorter and the approaching holidays bring a buzz to the crisp air, nothing quite equals the joy of reuniting with family and catching up on the year’s events. This month’s selections all deal with family matters, be it making one’s own family, dealing with family members or doing one’s family duty.

Desperate to save his family ranch, the hero in Elizabeth Harbison’s Taming of the Two (#1790) enters into a bargain that could turn a pretend relationship into the real deal. This is the second title in the SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE trilogy. A die-hard bachelor gets a taste of what being a family man is like when he rescues a beautiful stranger and her adorable infant from a deadly blizzard, in Susan Meier’s Snowbound Baby (#1791)—part of the author’s BRYANT BABY BONANZA continuity. Carol Grace continues her FAIRY TALE BRIDES miniseries with His Sleeping Beauty (#1792) in which a woman sheltered by her overprotective parents gains the confidence to strike out on her own after her handsome—but cynical—neighbor catches her sleepwalking in his garden! Finally, in The Marine and Me (#1793), the next installment in Cathie Linz’s MEN OF HONOR series, a soldier determined to outwit his matchmaking grandmother and avoid the marriage landmine gets bushwhacked by his supposedly dowdy neighbor.

Be sure to come back next month when Karen Rose Smith and Shirley Jump put their own spins on Shakespeare and the Dating Game, respectively!

Happy reading.
