Long ago, as revenge on a Corwin who stole her son’s fiancee, a witch proclaimed an eternal curse that every Corwin male who married for love would be destined to lose his love and his fortune …

Jason Corwin knows he should resist his attraction to Lauren Perkins. After all, it was one of her ancestors that came up with the curse that had haunted every Corwin male since. But after one night of mind-blowing sex with his supposed—and very seductive—enemy, he can’t bring himself to stay away.

What’s Coming in 2010
I have been waiting SO long to share with you all what’s coming up but I didn’t have official titles for the new books. Now I do!
2010 Booklist
Hot Stuff – reissue/new cover – January 2010
Hot Number – reissue/new cover – March 2010
KISS ME IF YOU CAN – Most Eligible Bachelor Book 1 – August 2010
LOVE ME IF YOU DARE – Most Eligible Bachelor Book 2 – September 2010

So what ARE the MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR Books?
Eligible Bachelors. New York City is full of them. Sexy men. Caring men. Men who aren’t afraid to step up and do what is right. Men who’d be the perfect catch if only the right woman came along. The Bachelor Blogger knows who they are, where they live and what their secrets are. And what the Blogger doesn’t know, faithful readers are willing to fill in. Now associated with The Daily Post, a major New York newspaper, the anonymous Blogger is exposing the city’s bachelors, on line and in print. One by one she profiles a single man. A hero. One who could be everyman – except for an extraordinary act or quality that makes him unique. Once he is chosen, juicy tidbits of his life are leaked and hoardes of women flock to his side. Predictably, the bachelor squirms to avoid the matrimonial hook. But the Blogger knows he will succumb eventually. When the match is right.

I finished the first one. I’m starting the second. And I can tell you I’m in LOVE with this series! It’s been a blast to write. It’s light and fun and I can’t wait for you to read it!

But first up … LUCKY BREAK – this TUESDAY September 29, 2009!

Carly

CarlyCarly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

    Wow! You’re simply amazing, Carly. Love the excerpt! The Most Eligible Bachelor books sound wonderful!

    I wish I could go out and buy all these books unfortunately we’ve had to tighten our budget until only minimal oxygen is required. No extras. And buying books is one of them. :boohoo: I hope to find your books on the shelf in the library.

    Although, speaking of libraries…a man who lives downtown and uses the Denver Public Library infested part of the library with bed bugs! Apparently his apartment is a breeding ground. The books he checked out were rare classic literature. 31 books worth an estimated 12 thousand dollars had to be destroyed. He was indignant that the library asked him not to come back and even more so when a restraining order was placed against him. Can you believe it!

    Take care and have a wonderful day,

    Cher

      Oh my goodness Cher. I cannot imagine having to destroy those books. I hope the problem with the bed bugs is soon over for the library. Since revenues are down in almost all states it seems so many worthwhile programs are suffering. Here in California they are going to close some of the state parks. People are not happy. So far our county library system seems to be hanging in there. I am using the library much more than I did for year. Thank heavens it is there. :applause:

        I know it’s awful but hopefully the problem has been corrected. They did have the library fumigated.

    Wow! You sure have been busy. I can’t wait to get Lucky Break. The new bachelor series sounds wonderful. Of course, since I LOVE all your books, that is not hard to say. I will be “popping” over to your sight soon.

    BTW, I think it is great that you all still make PlotMonkeys a priority with all that you each has going on individually. What a great testament to your friendship and committment to help each other succeed.

    Have a great day!

    Thanks, Stacy!!!!

    Michele – the only reason for Aug 2010 is because it let Harlequin put them out back to back Aug/Sept. So I hope it’s worth the wait! And the 2 Hot Zone books reisssued in between should help!

    Liza, THANK YOU!

    Patsy – SIGH! The book that was HOT DATE had many titles during the writing because the publisher and I were trying to find the perfect title for this series. So actually Hot Date is KISS ME IF YOU CAN! NOT a Hot Zone book, FYI!

    Cher, totally understand! I’m sure the library will carry it. Or should I say I HOPE some library will carry it! :)

    Thanks, Tricia. Hang in there on the Club Carly mailing. I’m getting closer to getting it all together!

    Joah, HUGS on the surgery! I completely can relate as you know!!! I hope it goes smoothly!

    Debbie, THANK YOU. We love to be there for each other and hang with you guys!

    Jeannie – the original people SHOULD have transferred over … but you can always do it again to be safe!

    And thank you, Lisa!!!!!

    :cheer: :dancebanana: :flowers4you: :cooldance: for the Bachelor blog books! Really can’t wait to read these, I absolutely loved them when we plotted them!!

    And Cher, oh UGH! Can’t believe that about the bedbugs. Ick, ick, ick! With libraries having to completely close down (Philadelphia, what a shock!) it’s so incredibly frustrating to hear the stupid ways in which people are contributing to their financial decline!

      I know it’s just awful. He admitted that the bugs were hopping all over his apartment. Can you imagine! And the building is owned by the Archdiocese of Denver!

    OOOOOOOo Carly, this is definitely worth the wait. I am in for all of that. I might try to stretch my creative muscles and go for a lucky break story. I can’t for the way new books to hit the shelves. They sound great. I can’t imagine the kind of juicy tidbits that The Bachelor Blogger reveals. I have already been out on the look out for Lucky Break. It has been on mind since we got this close to the end of September. You have so much going on.

    How is your is your husband doing?

    Peace and love,
    Paula R.

    I am trying to join Club Carly, but every time I do it tells me the security image is wrong. I can understand once, but not every time!

    However, I love the new site and am looking forward to the new book coming out!
