    This Month's FREE Romance Story
    My Knight in Shining Armor

    Aaron meant everything to me, and I thought we were inseparable. As I viewed things, we were destined to walk down the aisle together and raise several children in a loving household. Somewhere down the road in our happy marriage, we'd both turn gray and retire. That would allow us time to babysit our perfect grandchildren.

     

    Of all places, Aaron and I met in line at our neighborhood deli. When I reached for my money, I realized my wallet was on the kitchen counter at home.

    From 1969: 9 Months Pregnant Yet I Dared To Get Married in a White Gown...

    The priest was furious at me. He snapped, "How dare you profane the church with this shabby mockery?"

     

    "But I simply cannot understand," Father Keller said as he regarded me with grave, search­ing eyes. "If the boy himself has no objections, why should you be the one to object? Surely, Joanne, you have nothing against our faith?"

    I sighed heavily. I'd known Father Keller ever since I'd been a little girl. Read More

    Love and Romance Through the Decades
    Life in the 1940s: Women and War

    Chic and appropriately dressed for every occasion, the women of the 1940s were sassy, strong and adaptable. Think Katherine Hepburn! World War II created extraordinary circumstances, requiring exceptional women, and you didn't disappoint.  As men were shipped overseas, you took up their power tools (you knew how to operate an electric mixer after all!) and places at the assembly lines building ships and armaments.  Read More

To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com  


    WOMEN UNDONE
    While the '70s were about equal rights and the sexual revolution, women in the '80s were more concerned about their economic situation. It's easy to understand why some of the women in these stories would fantasize about finding romance on a cruise ship, or running off to a big city and becoming a fashion model.To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com

    BEDROOM ROULETTE
    Love stories from the beginning of the 1970s are about as wild as you can find. This TruLOVE Collection, edited by Ron Hogan of Beatrice.com and Lady Jane Salon fame, contains an amazing selection of stories that epitomize what was happening during the era of "free love!" 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.  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. 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 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. 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. The stories in this collection let us venture deeply into the libidinous world of forbidden love. 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 may come when you least expect it. 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. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
