The Fall Lineup
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting with great anticipation since Labor Day for the fall season to get going. That’s when the fashion world wakes up after a sleepy summer (the September issue of Vogue weighs about 5lbs with the new fall looks), my favorite TV shows return with new episodes (I’m especially looking forward to Prison Break, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy) and, best of all, publishers roll out some of their best and brightest writers in anticipation of the holiday buying season. Here at CJLA we have a great fall lineup of books with releases happening every month until the end of the year.
September
Check out Ann DeFee’s Summer After Summer, where old flames reunite. B&N had this to say about it:
In 1973 Texas, Jasmine Boudreaux loves Charlie Morrison, but he is dating her close friend Bunny Bennett. Loyalty to her pal keeps Jaz from pursuing Charlie. Even after he breaks off with Bunny, she sees him briefly, but leaves for college. They meet again at their twentieth anniversary high school reunion where she realizes she still loves Charlie. However, she is marrying her California architectural business partner. So they go their separate ways. In 2007, a divorced Jasmine has returned to Texas to start anew. Widower Charlie is a local pediatrician raising his son in their hometown. When they meet, neither has an adult entanglement, but he must tend to his son’s needs first and she fears the hurt commitment causes. This is an interesting romance that shows love survives even distance in time and place. Over three decades Jaz and Charlie never seem to time it right until now. As they enter middle age, Jaz vows to spend the rest of her life with the man she always loved, but will Charlie agree?

Revisit the Vicknair clan in Kelley St. John’s Shiver and Spice, where lovers won’t be pulled apart by anything, not even death. Amazon described it here:
She’s not alive. She’s not dead. She’s somewhere in between… And medium Dax Vicknair wants her! When Dax first met—and fell madly in love with—teacher Celeste Beauchamp, he knew the attraction was hopeless. But his connection with Celeste was so intense…so sexually charged, he couldn’t resist. Their relationship was short, sweet and temporary. Now Celeste is suddenly back…and she’s doing everything she can to stay with Dax as long as possible. And nothing, not even her supposed death, is going to stop her from having him. But Celeste and Dax are living—and loving—on borrowed time. And it might cost them their future….

October
Catch Anna J. Evans’ sexy new novel Love Fool. Anna describes it like this:
Mandy Miller is not the type of girl who wakes up in a strange room, staring at a strange ceiling, with a pounding headache, a pair of skinned knuckles and no underwear. Unfortunately she *is* the type to fall head over heels for all the wrong kinds of men. Men *just like* the handsome cowboy lying next to her who—aside from the fact they’d apparently slept together—she doesn’t know from Adam. The last thing Joe Paloma wants is a relationship after a divorce that pulled his heart out through his nose with a rusty fishing hook. But he can’t deny he’s tempted to give up his infamous bad boy ways if it means waking up to a woman like Mandy every morning. Neither expects the extremes of passion or the depths of love they’ll find now that they’ve met their match—another brave enough to love with the heart of a fool.
Stay tuned for where to get your copy.
November
And here’s the book I’ve been anticipating, To Catch A Cheat by Kelley St. John. Go to Kelley’s website for her cool cheatee contest—that is a contest that lets you showcase your worst cheating stories for a chance to win a $500 gift certificate to spafinder. Because every cheatee (a person who has been a victim of cheating) needs a little pampering.
Single thirty-something Marissa, though beautiful and talented, is becoming increasingly skeptical about romance because every man in her life has been a cheater. She creates a website dedicated to exposing serial cheaters, but instead her website ushers back into her life her first boyfriend from adolescence, and he is determined to show her that a man can be true.
