Blurb ~
College reunions are the worst--except when they lead to love.
Lizzie Moran is desperate to help her best friend’s husband recover from grief-stricken despair after her friend passes away. But their love was unlike anything Lizzie has ever seen. A love she knows will never happen for her, considering the bad choices she’s made.
Jack Clark is ready to take whatever measures necessary to yank his brother out of the abyss he’s fallen into after his wife’s death. And when he meets the lovely Lizzie who has the same goal, he is perfectly willing to put aside their differences, for the sake of his brother.
Tensions escalate when Jack and Lizzie are forced to attend a reunion together—and the fact that Lizzie’s former fiancé, the man who dumped her the same day her parents died, will be there doesn’t help. But an unlikely matchmaker has a plan—and if it succeeds, Jack and Lizzie might just realize they are meant for each other.
Excerpt ~
…He shook her hand, just skimming her knuckles with his fingers, a pleasant connection. So this is the famous Lizzie, now he was sorry for not meshing.
Beguiling smile, tender eyes, legs even better close up. On the skinny side, but appealing curves where it counts. Plus she obviously cares about Charlie and that means a great deal.
“Oh. Jack finally.” She brushed her bangs out of her eyes. “Mari told me so much about you. Nice to meet you.”
She bent her head and surveyed the floor.
“Looking for your dog?” He turned toward the back of the house joining in the search.
“Ah, yes. Marty. Marty!” she blasted.
Good lungs.
His ears vibrated. The dog tore from behind him toward Lizzie with jubilant owner worship yips. Lizzie scooped up the little dog and let her lick the side of her cheek unhindered. Made Jack want to be a Boston terrier.
Love that last line!

Thank you, Pam! Yeah, it was kinda nice having a two-fer today! Have a great, fun, productive but relaxing weekend!
DeleteLove these ladies, and I LOVE this book! At least it's not as sad as their previous release...although both are fantastic. Great interview!
ReplyDeleteLove people with the inside scoop! Thanks for adding to the conversation today, Alicia! Hope you are enjoying a good day!
DeleteGreat interview. Your book sounds great too. Best of luck with it!
ReplyDeleteYes. I like how there is a kind of twist with how these two meet (brought together by death and grieving). Not the usual setup. I appreciate you taking the time to hang out with us today, Diane! Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteEnjoyed getting to know y'all, and good luck with your book!
ReplyDeleteYes. I love finding out more about my author friends. Especially since we all come from different parts of the country and globe, for that matter. Thanks for visiting, Susan, and hope your weekend is a nice one!
DeleteWonderful interview, ladies. I love the way you came up with your pen name. It's so great that you can work with your sister to honor your parents this way. Good luck to you. Thanks for hosting, MJ!
ReplyDeleteI know! I thought that was cool, too! I appreciate you coming by, Elizabeth, and participating in our conversation! Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteI loved the interview and learning about this duo's latest book. Sounds like another winner!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine writing a book with someone else. Is it two heads are better than one, or too many cooks? ;) With your sis might be kinda fun, though. Thanks for joining us and adding your thoughts, Ashantay! All the best to you!
DeleteLove the excerpt! :-) Best of luck with the book!
ReplyDeleteYes. Short but fun! Nice talking to you, Leah! I appreciate you checking out the post!
DeleteEnjoyed getting to know you ladies better. Best wishes on this release.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for taking the time to visit with us and for the kind words. Reunion For The First Time is the first book we wrote together. So maybe we love it just a bit more for being our first born. Hope you enjoy the read! Best as always, Pat & Kathie.
ReplyDeleteThank you again MJ. You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a yummy story! Nice conflict set-up and I love the fact you write with your story-telling father in mind. Best wishes!
