Ciara Geraghty’s second novel Becoming Scarlett will finally be released in paperback on the 28th April 2011 and Hodder have changed the cover and I must admit, I’m not thrilled. I love my book covers to match, and despite the fact that I like the new cover for Becoming Scarlett, I would have preferred them to keep the beautiful red one from the hardback.

Meet Scarlett O’Hara - wedding planner extraordinaire – who’s famous for making dreams come true. From scuba-diving ceremonies to flamingos at the reception, her colour-coded checklists make everything look simple. Scarlett’s personal life ran just as smoothly. Until now.

Her dependable boyfriend has moved to Brazil. She’s had to give up her Dublin flat and move back home. And she’s pregnant. Worse still, she doesn’t know who the father of the baby is . . . even though she’s slept with exactly 4 ½ men in her entire 35 years. How will Scarlett cope now all her best laid plans have gone with the wind?

It seems as if Rachel Gibson has left Little Black Dress and is now a published author in her own right! Her first novel with Transworld is entitled Any Man of Mine and is due out on May 12th 2011. Here’s the synopsis:

“Hey, pretty lady, haven’t we met?

Yes, beautiful thirty-something Autumn Haven has definitely met hockey-superstar Sam LeClaire before. Several years ago she had a passionate, Vegas-inspired fling with him involving getting hitched in a Elvis-themed wedding chapel and ending with her waking up in a hotel room: alone, heartbroken… and pregnant.

So these days, reminding her ex-husband that she even exists isn’t high on her to-do list. But they have a child, Conner, and suddenly Sam claims to have grown up, wanting to be more involved with his son. And handsome, drop-dead sexy Sam always gets what he wants. Being a good dad to Conner is one thing, but to her horror, Autumn realises she still finds it practically impossible to be around Sam without falling for his charms once again. And that’s the last thing she wants… isn’t it?”
