Romance

 

EnthusiasmAn Order of Amelie, Hold the Fries by Nina Schindler

The Dashwood Sisters' Secrets of Love by Rosie Rushton
A funny novel about sisterhood, friendship, and romance.

Dumb Love by Kathleen Jeffrie Johnson
In the tiny town of Brewerton, the minister needs an assistant for his Lonely Hearts advice column, someone with a sympathetic, open heart and a confidential, closed mouth. Who better, Carlotta decides, than a Love Expert like herself. In fact, once Pete, her soon-to-be boyfriend -- he just doesn't know it yet -- gets a look at her, she'll be the syrup on his pancake, the cream in his coffee, the crabcake at his clam bake! All she has to do is get rid of her competition: Bernice, Andrea...and Fate.

Enthusiasm by Polly Shulman
A first-time novelist pens a Jane Austen-inspired romantic comedy of errors as two girls get a part in the boys' school musical. What follows is a series of misinterpreted--and missed--signals, dating mishaps, and awkward incidents.

Scrambled Eggs at Midnight by Brad Barkley & Heather Hepler
Alternating voices of Cal and Elliot tell a witty, offbeat story of unexpected but promising first love. Featuring unforgettable characters, colorful backdrops, and even a few recipes, the tale is as funny as it is romantic.

When it Happens by Susane Colasanti
