Love, Lies and Dating: A Crazy New Blog
Run, Don't Skywalk From This Relationship
Dear Second Acts;
I met a great guy. He is good-looking, intelligent, an accomplished person with a great career. I really like everything about him. Well, almost. He is a Star Wars fan...truly a fanatic. Most guys I know went through this phase, but this dude has experienced no such decline in this childhood obsession. He has a huge collection of Star Wars toys, books, comics, you name it. You know it's bad when a grown man actually loves Jar Jar Binks. He has a model of Jar Jar on his nightstand...Read More

Love and Romance Through the Decades
The Roaring 20's
The 1920's was the decade of all things NEW - a new kind of economy, fashion, thinking and a new modern woman. Gone were the corsets, elaborate long hair, layers of petticoats, as well as Victorian morality. You were "not what grandma used to be. Oh contraire!" You worked, made your own money and had your own place. You were emboldened by the right to vote. Some say you pushed the boundaries too far - smoking, drinking, showing your knees, carousing at speakeasies. Read More

ARIS RETURNS: A VAMPIRE LOVE STORY
Psychologist Sarah Hagan thought she had her life under control. From the outside, it looks like her life is almost perfect. It only takes one patient--a handsome younger man named Carlos who is on parole for car theft--to put her well-ordered life into a tailspin. As she regresses him with hypnotherapy, she discovers an unusual presence. Is this some elaborate alter ego that Carlos has created or is something much stranger going on? In Sarah's attempt to help Carlos deal with his issues of anger and a troubled past, she is captivated by the persona she uncovers through hypnosis--Aris, a vampire.
 SLEEPING WITH DOGS AND OTHER LOVERS
If you're looking for a spicy new romance novel, don't miss the first book in our new original A Second Acts Novel romance series. Cynthia Amas has her hands full. In the middle of launching a boutique matchmaking service -- Second Acts -- amid the sun, surf, and celebrities of Southern California, her own romantic life gets a whole lot more complicated . . . and steamy. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com  STARSTRUCK ROMANCE AND OTHER HOLLYWOOD TAILS As her Second Acts Dating Service truly takes off in the second novel in the series, Cynthia Amas discovers that in the heady world of high-end Hollywood romance, with success comes complexity. In this wildly seductive romp through the lush canyons and lavish neighborhoods of Los Angeles, the line between business and pleasure quickly blurs in a dizzying rush of sex and celebrity. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com |
 WHEN LOVE SIZZLES
In this latest TruLOVE Collection, you'll discover love and passion that heats up in stormy weather, on a dare in a bar, popping out of a cake at a bachelor party, in a would-be open marriage, and even on one lover's menu. Sometimes putting some sizzle in your sex life means setting rules with your partner, like absolutely no talking during sex or insisting that the room is in total darkness. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 LOVE IN STRANGE PLACES You can stumble into true love in the most decidedly unromantic places and under some pretty shocking conditions - as you are about to discover through the stories in this collection. True love is going to find you no matter how down and dirty you look or feel about yourself, how unglamorous the setting, how traumatic your past or present is. True love, as it turns out, writes a new story for every couple. So if you enjoy asking couples, "How did you two meet?" be prepared for a wild ride of answers to that question in these wonderfully "strange" love stories. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 LOSING IT FOR LOVE
All of us long for true love. Unfortunately, however, some of us despair of ever finding it. Often it's because we live with a gripping sense of defeat brought on by some unwanted feature. Usually our nemesis is our weight, although sometimes it's a particular part of our body, like a nose or a chin that is undeniably out of proportion to the rest of our face. Although their motives for changing the course of their lives were different, our heroines all learned the same lesson in the end: It's easier to find your true love when you start by genuinely loving yourself. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 FORBIDDEN LOVE
No one is immune to the temptation of forbidden love. Many of us merely dip our baby toe into this realm - perhaps by Googling the names of old lovers to see what they look like now, years later, while our spouse watches television in another room. Or we spy on an alluring married co-worker by studying his Facebook page to learn as much as we can about him. The stories in this collection let us venture deeply into the libidinous world of forbidden love - all while never leaving the comfort of our own lives. Sit back and succumb to its pleasures. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 FALLING IN LOVE . . . AGAIN It's hard to imagine that out of the depths of despair a new opportunity for love can emerge, but in these tales you'll meet a jilted bride, a single mom, a 9/11 widow, and a bitter city girl who all get a second chance at loving happily ever after. Whether you're heartbroken or have sworn off love forever; love comes when it's perfectly timed or when you least expect it. This collection of fourteen inspirational stories will convince you that there's always a chance you'll . . . fall in love again. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com  WHEN LOVE GOES BAD Anyone who's ever loved and lost will relate to the tales of timeless relationship-busters like controlling creeps, two-timing traitors and maniacal mothers-in-law! Even "been there, done that" readers will be surprised by the extraordinary accounts of love destroyed by an affair exposed on national TV, a Botox babe, and a handsome, but heartless, doctor. Twelve unique stories of bad boyfriends chronicle the relationship rollercoaster of the highs and lows that so often define romantic love.
