Book Description:
Jane Frank is ready to fall in love. It’s been a year since her first and only relationship ended and far too long since the last time she was kissed. With the LSAT coming up, she needs to find a boyfriend (or husband) before acing law school and becoming a partner at her father’s firm. There’s just one problem: all the guys in New York City are flakes. Interested one day and gone the next, they seemingly drop off the face of the earth with no warning and no explanation.
In her misguided belief that life doesn’t really start until you get married and have kids, Jane jumps from one extreme to the next trying to force a happily ever after until she breaks. Will she ever find her path, and can she do it without alienating her friends and family and risking her career in the process?
Book Excerpt:
“Do you like sports?” he asked.
“No,” I answered honestly.
“What do you do for fun?”
“I cook and bake. Are you a foodie?”
“I’m allergic to shellfish, fish, and peanuts, and I’m
lactose resistant. I also have a weak palette. Food doesn’t wow me.” He took a
sip of his beer as if not at all burdened by what would be my worst nightmare.
I had no idea how to respond. “I can’t even imagine.”
He shrugged. “Some folks live to eat and I eat to live.”
We stood in silence for a few seconds during which I
suspected we had nothing in common besides a mutual interest in a legal career.
Doubtful he’d be escorting me to Bob and Trish’s party, I glanced around the
room hoping to spot another eligible bachelor.
“Do you like to bowl? My firm is hosting a bowl-a-thon on
Monday night and we need cheerleaders.”
My eyes opened wide at his unexpected invitation. I was
hesitant to accept his offer since I was pretty certain there would be no love
connection between Todd and me.
“If you go with me, maybe we’ll get you your own ‘Schwetty
Ballz’ team hat. I bet you’d look real cute in it.”
I pictured myself at Bob and Trish’s housewarming party—the
sad and lonely ex-girlfriend. Since I was desperate to keep that from becoming
reality, there was only one answer. Smiling at Todd, I said, “I’d love to.”

Book Description:
As Maggie reenters the New York City dating jungle, suitors present themselves quickly, but who is “The One?” Is he a sexy coworker, one of many bachelors at a speed-dating event, or is he the man she already set free? How do you know? Her fun-loving friends and supportive family, including meddlesome “no-filter” Aunt Helen, eagerly share their (often unsolicited) opinions, but Maggie is determined to find her own way, even if she falls on her face—repeatedly.
Book Excerpt:
“I think we should break up, Maggie.”
My body involuntarily jerks at his words, and I grip the
table for support. “You mean permanently or a temporary break?”
“It’s been three years, Maggie. If you’re not sure I’m the
one by now, chances are I’m not. I don’t want to waste more of your time.” He
pauses. “Or mine. I’ll hunt for a new apartment.”
I swallow back my tears. This is not how I imagined the
night would unfold. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Doug gives a slight shake of his head. “I’m sure I don’t
want to do this. But I’m also sure I have to. I’ll stay with Connor tonight and
pack up some of my stuff while you’re at your mom’s tomorrow night.”
I try to imagine my family’s reaction to hearing Doug and I
broke up, and that he moved out to live with his older brother. I can’t. I’m
pretty certain my own reaction will be delayed since I currently feel like this
is happening to someone else.
Doug continues speaking. “I’ll take care of the bill. You
should get out of here.”
“I can’t let you pay for all of this.” I point at the
uneaten food. “I ruined my birthday, and now you’re going to pay for it?”
Doug drops his credit card on the table. “Your birthday was
Tuesday so, no, you didn’t ruin it. But you did break my heart.”
“Doug…”
Not meeting my gaze, he says, “Just go, Maggie.”
I stand up but linger. I don’t want it to end this way.
“Please, Maggie. Go.”

Book Description:
Stephanie, a thirty-two-year-old paralegal from Washington, D.C., is a seventies and eighties television trivia buff who can recite the starting lineup of the New York Yankees and go beer for beer with the guys. And despite her failure to get married and pro-create prior to entering her thirties, she has so far managed to keep her overbearing mother from sticking her head in the oven. Just Friends with Benefits is the humorous story of Stephanie’s pursuit of love, her adventures in friendship, and her journey to discover what really matters.
Book Excerpt:
”Maybe I was hoping to hear something a little bit more
interesting.”
“Like what?” I mumbled, “Details about our hot sex last
night?” before I could stop myself. It wasn’t an ideal way to open a dialogue
about what was happening between us, but it was something.
“Found it,” Craig said before patting his GPS lovingly. “I
don’t know what I’d do without this baby.”
I gazed at him in confusion until a look out the window
confirmed we’d arrived at the train station. While Craig parked his car, I
muttered, “That was quick.” He probably hadn’t heard what I said and now my
opportunity to discuss “us” had disappeared in his rear view mirror and I had
no idea when I’d have another chance. Maybe it was the universe urging me not
to push. I stepped out of the passenger seat and followed Craig to the back of
his car. While he opened the trunk to remove my bag, I watched a young couple
exchange a tearful goodbye. Craig handed me my duffle bag. “Here you go. Are
you okay waiting here by yourself?”
I glanced at my watch. My train wouldn’t arrive for another
twelve minutes. We didn’t have tons of time, but it might be enough to discuss
getting together again.
“I’d stay with you, but it’s going to get dark soon, and I
have a long ride ahead of me.”
Or not.
