Dear Readers,

Ex, Why, and Me, is available in stores and online. Small town USA is the setting for this quirky romantic story of instant attraction, second chances and the biggest aphrodisiac of them all...horseradish!

Michelle Nelson has been chosen to help promote her small town's bread and butter: horseradish. What Michelle doesn't know is that the partner the town has chosen to work alongside her is none other than Ryan Slater, the man from her past she'd like nothing more than to forget forever. But Ryan has been waiting for a second chance ever since their disastrous first date. Thanks to the town's horseradish festival he's finally gotten it and this time he's playing for keeps.

Eveline Soors of Euro-Reviews says "If you love comedy and sexy romance, and you like it to be spruced with a little mystery, this is definitely the book for you." See what others are saying about the book , which is available in trade paperback, Microsoft Reader and Adobe PDF.

Contest: In celebration of my latest release, I'm holding a scavenger hunt exclusively for e-newsletter subscribers, starting July 15. There will be lots of prizes and lots of chances to win. Stay tuned! In the meantime, enter my website's monthly contest.

The Twin Recommends: Lisa Kleypas's Wallflower Series is great! Every non-cheerleader can associate with the wallflowers (Susanna and I always preferred to people watch and be snarky about them with friends.) In these series there are four friends (Annabelle, Lillian, Evie & Daisy) who, for various reasons (no money, too 'New York money', painfully shy, etc.) wind up on the sidelines during London's season. They determine to help each other find suitable husbands. Lillian, from It Happened on August , is my favorite because of the sparks between her and Lord Westcliff - a true 'Moonlighting couple' (yes, I just gave away our age). The latest was Evie's story, Devil in Winter, with the smoldering Lord St. Vincent (have you noticed you can only use smoldering without laughing in romance novels?) Next up is Daisy's story in Scandal in Spring (though my calendar says first day of summer, but as long as I get it soon...) I would put more parentheses in this recommendation because they bug Susanna, but I'm all out (until next time.)

Ha, ha. Very funny, Jennifer. That's all for right now. For more updates and news, visit my website.
