October Releases from Little Black Dress
Little Black Dress have three offerings out in October and all sound fantastic!
ALLIE SPENCER - TUG OF LOVE - 1ST OCTOBER
Unsurprisingly, divorce barrister Lucy Stone is a bit of a cynic when it comes to love. And working with egotistical weasel Hugo Spade doesn’t help matters. Then Mark comes along, ticking all the boxes, and Lucy can’t believe her luck.
But when Lucy has to choose between the man of her dreams and the career opportunity of a lifetime, it seems there really is no justice in the world. And the re-appearance of sexy-ex Jonathan is the last thing she needs.
Is Lucy about to be found guilty of making the biggest mistake of her life?
SALLY ANNE MORRIS - TRICK OR TREAT? - 15TH OCTOBER
Ever thought you were hearing voices in your head? Welcome to Lucy Diamond’s world… Nothing seems out of the ordinary about Lucy. Well, not until she starts hearing the voices of grumbling ghouls from beyond the grave.
Hippie-mom Jasmine arranged for Lucy to develop the Gift and unlike the other presents of vegan cookbooks and tie-dye blouses, this one Lucy can’t return to the store. The Dead aren’t going anywhere until she sorts out their problems.
But how can she be expected to deal with the lives of those in Limbo when she can’t even manage her own?
KATE LACE - THE LOVE BOAT - 29TH OCTOBER
Working as a chef on a luxurious holiday yacht, Poppy’s come a long way from her parents’ pub in Cornwall and enjoys a tranquil existence sailing around the Greek islands. Until the Garvie family show up that is.
When their boisterous behaviour forces Poppy to pay a visit to a super-yacht docked nearby, she meets handsome deckhand Charlie and everything gets a lot more exciting. She wouldn’t mind getting cosy in her cabin with him! But why does Jake, the brooding skipper, keep rocking the boat?
When it comes to falling in love, Poppy may be in danger of going overboard…

Hi Leah and Chloe,
You’re right - all three do sound wonderful. The one LBD book I really want is Sunnyside Blues, by Mary Carter; she’s an amazing writer. Unfortunately, being still on the dole, I can’t afford any of them, or even the book of tomorrow, which I really want.
Worse than this, I’ve developed a sudden obsession with buying all the books from Valancourt publishers, and they’re so expensive. I bought Clermont and another one a few years back, and quite a few last year, but now I’ve got back into them. I have to get them all before they sell out. I now own all but one of the NA horrid novels, and there’s so many more I want to buy…..The Magic Ring, Manfrone, Demon of Sicily, Zuluco, Forest of Valancourt, the list goes on. The thing I like about the more female written gothic novels is that the heroines are so virtuous they inspire me to be good. I really do feel that such virtue comes from God, and it is so awe-inspiring, it gives me such peculiar feelings and a deep wish and desire to be as good myself. I think that such examples *must* be good for me, and I enjoy the stories, and the elegance of the writing…..
Don’t forget this other type of chick lit too. I see it that way because I feel like many of the original readers would have been young women too.
