"She just wanted a Mr. Darcy… not her best friend’s brother in breeches.
'Didn't see that coming' could be my life's motto. I mean, I certainly didn't foresee my roommate stealing my boyfriend—an unfortunate turn of events that led to me moving in with my best friend and her infuriatingly attractive brother. Oh, and speaking of the brother? I might have once confessed my love for him, only to be met with soul-crushing, dignity-shattering unrequited feelings. Fun times, indeed.
But in this series of unexpected disasters, one surprise actually worked in my favor: winning a trip to Pride and Prejudice Park, where I get to play my literary hero, Elizabeth Bennet. Sounds like a dream, right?
Well, even that plan goes off the rails. The trip takes such a wild turn that Zane—my best friend’s brother—ends up tagging along and playing Mr. Darcy. And here’s the biggest shock of all: suddenly, all this pretending starts to feel incredibly real. Could Zane actually be the Mr. Darcy I’ve been searching for my entire life? Or will my Pride and Prejudice dreams remain just that—a dream?
USA Today Bestselling Author Becky Monson delivers a witty and romantic escape, where unrequited love, Regency roleplay, and one very unexpected Mr. Darcy collide."
"Running away from my disastrous career to an island off the Florida coast wasn't part of my summer plans, but life hasn't been cooperative lately, anyway. At least here, I can hide away and figure out how to untangle the mess I've gotten myself into.
One thing is certain: my A-list status and title of America's Sweetheart are long gone, and they're probably never coming back. I'll just remain on this island until the worst of it blows over. Until the gossip magazines move on to another juicy topic. Until the paparazzi lose interest.
The problem is, I'm feeling pretty bored and lonely. Sneaking into town and grabbing a book to keep me occupied turns out not to be my best move. Because what I absolutely don't need is Briggs Dalton, the man who runs the shop. He's handsome and funny, and I can’t stop thinking about him.
Briggs believes that despite the chaos that is my life, I can still have a fun summer, and he's determined to prove it to me.
Maybe, just maybe, this summer could turn out to be a happy one after all.
One Happy Summer is part of the Falling for Summer series, seven interconnected standalones by seven amazing authors that can be enjoyed in any order."
"Trying not to fall in love can be… challenging.
One might think that, as an ER nurse, I live a full and exciting life. If you think this, you are sadly mistaken. I’m pretty sure there's hardly a soul more boring than me. Ask my best friend, she’ll agree. Which is why she's come up with a 30-day plan to transform me from boring Lucy to, well… the real Lucy. The Lucy before the accident. Each day, I have to complete some ridiculous challenge, usually involving something embarrassing or new. That includes getting my coworker, Dr. Graham Shackwell, involved.
The Graham Shackwell. As in my oldest brother’s best friend. Not to mention insanely gorgeous and a self-reformed playboy. He’s definitely outside of the comfort zone I’ve been living in. So when he agrees to do the challenges with me, it not only surprises me, but I find that the more time I spend with him, the more I feel like myself. Unfortunately, this presents a new challenge. The hardest one yet—fighting my growing feelings for a man who is clearly not boyfriend material.
Not Boyfriend Material is a dual POV, closed-door workplace rom-com, featuring swoon-worthy chemistry, plenty of witty banter, and a dose of both humor and heart."
