November Releases from Little Black Dress

Posted on Friday, October 30th, 2009 by Leah

Only the two releases from Little Black Dress in November; Janet Gover’s second of the year which sounds fab and the second book in Jessica Fox’s Hen Night Prophecies Series!

The Bachelor and Spinster Ball by Janet Gover - 12th November 2009

“Sexy Nick, feisty Bec and dreamy Hailey all grew up together in the tiny, one-horse town of Farwell Creek. In fact, Nick and Bec were the town’s teen-dream couple, until Bec made a break for it and shook the small-town dust off her heels for the big-city lights. Now she’s back – but Nick doesn’t have romantic feelings for her any more … does he?

Sweet, idealistic Hailey is caught between her old friends, but has too many problems of her own to be able to worry about theirs. Devastated at the loss of her parents, who died in a crash a year earlier, she’s too wrapped up in her own thoughts to even think about leaving town or finding love.

It will take a devastating bush-fire, a black-tie ball under the stars, and a road-trip to help all three friends work out who and what they want – and what they need.”

The Hen Night Prophecies: Eastern Promise (Book 2) by Jessica Fox - 26th November

“Priya’s prophecy, ‘In love, mother knows best…’ does not fit her fiercely independent, successful world. She’s fed up of her disapproving Hindu family’s constant meddling in her love-life. Distrusful of men ever since her betrayal by boss and ex-boyfriend Vic, she throws herself into work.

When her new assignment leads her to India to document an ashram high in the hills, Priya hopes to find some much-needed serenity. But with mystery and secrets at its heart, she’s soon convinced something sinister is afoot. And with her feelings for attractive tour guide Noah complicating things further, Priya can’t help but wonder: is Noah really interested in her, or is he trying to distract her from finding out the truth?”

October Releases from Little Black Dress

Posted on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 by Leah

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…

August Releases: Little Black Dress

Posted on Thursday, July 30th, 2009 by Leah

Little Black Dress only have two releases in August…

SAMANTHA SCOTT JEFFRIES - I DO, I DO, I DO - 6TH AUGUST

Isabelle needs to get away from it all. With a boss from hell and a boyfriend so elusive he’s almost non-existent, life’s looking pretty drab. Then a humiliating cock-up costs Izzy her job and things seem so grim not even a shopping spree can lift her spirits.

What’s a girl to do? Six months as a wedding planner in Mallorca could be Izzy’s answer. If she can’t make it work with a man, at least she can help make other women happy with theirs. But when love is in the air, things don’t always go the way you plan…

LUCY BROADBENT - A HOLLYWOOD AFFAIR - 20TH AUGUST

Love and loyalties get tested in another gripping LA drama from Lucy Broadbent

Pearl Sash lives the dream. Adoring husband, perfect child, and a glamorous Hollywood Hills mansion. Shame how perfect gets boring, isn t it? Cue the re-entrance of Brett.

Dangerous, sexy Brett who she married years ago, and who left her the second his own Hollywood star was rising. Now he s back, wanting to start over. No man ever made her feel so bad. No man ever made her feel so good!

Will Pearl make the right decision to get her own Hollywood ending?

Book News: July Releases from Little Black Dress

Posted on Monday, June 29th, 2009 by Leah

Only two Little Black Dress releases this month; Dorothy Howell’s Purses and Poisons and Janet Mullany’s A Most Lamentable Comedy.

DOROTHY HOWELL - PURSES AND POISONS - 9TH JULY 2009

The shopaholic sleuth returns with the second book in this hilarious series, following HANDBAGS AND HOMICIDE

Nobody wants to be an accessory to murder… including Haley Randolph. Her ideal murderous encounter is buying a pair of killer heels. But then the ex-girlfriend of her sort-of boyfriend Ty Cameron – the drop-dead gorgeous Claudia Gray – literally drops down dead. Even worse, Haley’s mother is prime suspect: Claudia was poisoned with food from her company. Haley’s heard of death by chocolate, but death by edible fruit bouquet? When the eye of suspicion also falls on Haley, she pursues the murderer (and a divine Judith Leiber evening bag) all over LA to clear the family name. Will she catch the killer? And will her relationship with Ty end up dead in the water?

JANET MULLANY - A MOST LAMENTABLE COMEDY - 23RD JULY 2009

High jinks, misunderstandings and conflicted passions – Regency rocks in the latest racy read from Janet Mullany

1822, England: Lady Caroline Elmhurst is twice-widowed, down on her luck and pursued by creditors. But she’s optimistic about finding a new husband – or if necessary, a rich lover – and when she meets handsome, mysterious Nicholas Congrevance at a house-party in the country, she sets out to entice him. For his part, Nicholas simply sees Lady Caroline Elmhurst as just the sort of woman he’s used to exploiting – rich, available, and gullible. Neither realizes the other is penniless and neither has any intention of falling in love…

Author of the Week: Kate Lace

Posted on Thursday, June 18th, 2009 by Leah

Kate Lace is the author of 4 Little Black Dress novels and her 4th, Love Boat, is out in October. Kate also writes romantic fiction under the name of Catherine Jones (her actual name!) .

Before turning to writing Kate was in the Army and got promoted to Captain. She also met and married her husband during her Army days. After falling pregnant and having to leave the Army, Kate was invited to help out on a magazine and that is where she discovered she could really write. Kate has also appeared on University Challenge in 2005.

I read The Chalet Girl ages ago and really enjoyed it. I’ll have to try and get my hands on it again. I love Little Black Dress books so it’s great to have another author whose LBD books I enjoy. Her other novels are The Trophy Girl, The Movie Girl and The Love Boat. I haven’t read any of those but do want to read them!

Book News: June Releases from Little Black Dress

Posted on Monday, June 1st, 2009 by Chloe

Coming up this month from the Little Black Dress publishing group:

Julie Cohen - Girl From Mars - 14th June

I, Philomena Desdemona Brown, do solemnly swear to forsake all romantic relationships…

It’s not like the vow, made by Fil and her three nerdy male best friends, seemed much of a big deal at the time. Frankly, Fil wouldn’t know romance if it hit her in the face, and with her real love being her artist job at Girl from Mars, the comic whose heroine has never had a love interest, she doesn’t exactly mind being relationship-free anyway. Until her world is rocked to its core when one of her long-standing quartet and Girl from Mars herself both unexpectedly fall in love. Is it time to give in to temptation and finally fall in love?

Marisa Heath - Perfect Image - 25th June

Young, naïve and stunning, Katrina is trying to make it as a model in Paris, sharing a tiny, run-down dorm and only just scraping a living. She’s about to cut her loses and head back to London when she’s spotted one night and asked out by THE ultimate movie heart-throb, actor Dominic Cayley.

She knows not to get too excited though – his girlfriends never last longer than a few dates. But when he keeps turning up on her doorstep, whisking her off for super-glam party weekends in Monaco, showering her in expensive jewels and designer clothes, she’s more than happy to be swept off her feet..

Book News: May Releases from Little Black Dress

Posted on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 by Leah

As I did last month: here are the May releases from Little Black Dress.

ALISON GAYLIN - YOU KILL ME - 30TH APRIL

Samantha Leiffer is back and in trouble again in the spine-tingling follow-up to the brilliant Hide Your Eyes

After Samantha Leiffer witnessed a murder (and was nearly killed herself for doing so), life has never quite been the same. Everyone else seems just to think it’s taking her a while to ‘adjust’ back to everyday reality, but increasingly Sam’s convinced there’s still something strange in the air.

When a mysterious stranger hands her a note on the street warning her of ‘danger’ ahead, she knows the freakiness has gone way too far. And when people around her suddenly start dying, she knows her life is spiralling into darkness once more…

RACHEL GIBSON - TRUE LOVE & OTHER DISASTERS - 14TH MAY

Heartache, hockey and heavenly bodies – get ready for another red-hot read from Rachel Gibson

When money-bags Virgil Duffy leaves his widow a stash of cash and his beloved ice-hockey team in his will, team captain Ty ‘Saint’ Savage is furious.

The Chinooks are set to win the biggest prize of the season, and a beautiful young ex-stripper taking over the reins is the last thing he needs.

Even if Faith, former playmate of the year, is the sexiest woman he’s ever laid on. Soon tensions are mounting between the Saint and the Sinner from Vegas – but maybe Ty’s forgotten the first rule of play: never underestimate your opponent…

JESSICA FOX - THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (HEN NIGHT PROPHECIES 1) - 28TH MAY

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY is the first novel in a fantastic new series called THE HEN NIGHT PROPHECIES, following the fortunes of five different girls, each given their own puzzling prophecy at a friend’s hen night…

Zoe Piper adores her four best friends – Fern, Libby, Charlotte and Priya – so is thrilled when they can all make it to her hen night, where one of the girls arranges for a tarot-card reader to give them a reading individually. Afterwards, each one stumbles out a little dazed, perplexed by how spookily accurate the reader was, but each one keeps quiet about their own readings. In each of the five volumes of THE HEN NIGHT PROPHECIES we learn how their prophecies come true – this first book follows the fortunes of Fern, who is told that she has already met The One, but let him go…

COMING TOMORROW: MAY RELEASES FROM ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS…

Book News: Little Black Dress April Releases

Posted on Monday, March 30th, 2009 by Leah

Little Black Dress are releasing three novels in April. All three come out on April 2nd. Here are the covers and blurbs. Tomorrow… all the books out in April from all the other publishers.

SUSAN CONLEY - THE FIDELITY PROJECT

Jacinta Quirke and Maxine O’Malley, a.k.a. Jax and Max, need a plan, fast. They’ve just heard rumours that they are about to lose their jobs at advertising agency ACJ in Dublin. Could they make it in the (supposedly) more lucrative world of TV?

Their proposal: a documentary on fidelity. Is long-term monogamy a sham as cynical Max believes? Or will Jax, the hopeless romantic, prove her wrong. Putting a variety of couples into the hot seat, they get the cameras rolling. But when they turn on each other’s love-lives, the trouble really starts…

Friendship, passion and fidelity – nothing’s ever simple when it comes to love.

NIAMH SHAW - SMART CASUAL

Olivia Smith is stuck in a rut. Working nine-to-five in a dreary The Office-style company, her only hope is to scale the corporate ladder, and fast.

Lucky this new employee who’s apparently starting soon, Luke Wylie, is coming along to help out, eh?

Well, it would be, except that Olivia’s got it wrong (again) and Luke actually turns out to be her new boss.

She’ll never forgive him. Ever. Except… he is completely gorgeous, and he does seem to be making a massive effort to win her over…

Find out if Olivia’s made to be a lover or a hater in this gorgeous, fast and funny read!

TARRAS WILDING - LEOPARD ROCK

Rumour and romance get all stirred up in a fabulous read from the heart of the African outback

Roo Beckett knew there had to be a catch when she won first prize in a prestigious wildlife fim-making competition. A month’s mentorship in the beautiful South African game reserve, Leopard Rock, with renowened film-maker Wyk Kruger, seemed simply too good to be true.

Sure enough, after her free-loading, fashion-magazine colleagues decide to tag along, Roo’s solo African adventure doesn’t have the best of starts. But that’s the least of her worries. Lost in the African outback, Roo’s soon struggling with a bigger and more unexpected problem - her attraction to the mysterious Wyk himself…
