I absolutely LOVE to read. I can’t go to sleep without reading…whether I read for 10 minutes or 2 hours (staying up until 2am…yes I’m tired most days!), I have to read before bed. Not only does it relax me, but I LOVE escaping in a good book. There for awhile, I’ve was reading suspense and thriller type books…so not good to read when you’re trying to go to sleep…but now I’m hooked on romance novels. Especially after reading Solitary Man by Karen Drogin a.k.a The Right Choice (almost done with this one). I really liked the first two and I’m liking the third one. Though I will admit, I wished that each of them went a little further, but I truly think that’s a sign of a great book…when you’re left wanting more!
Solitary Man
When tough Boston cop Kevin Manning promised to care for his fatally wounded partner’s family, a one night stand with the man’s grieving sister wasn’t part of the plan. No matter how intense the night had been, a woman like Nikki Welles deserves much more than a broken man like Kevin can give, and he leaves the next day. When he returns months later, everything has changed. Nikki can’t forgive Kevin for abandoning her nor can she regret the baby she’s now carrying. And she can’t stop wanting Kevin. But can this solitary man come to believe he’s worthy of love?
Perfect Partners
No sooner had Chelsie Russell and Griffin Stuart lost their siblings in a car crash than they find themselves fighting for custody of their two year old niece. Griff wins only to discover Chelsie is the only one who can soothe the child’s night terrors and fears. Chelsie and Griff bond over the little girl and their growing sexual desire is mutual. But is it enough? Chelsie’s been hurt before and Griff isn’t sure he can trust the woman who once tried to take his niece away. What will it take for them to realize they are … perfect partners?
The Right Choice
The story of a woman who makes her living as an advice columnist—never realizing she needs a reality check of her own. Convinced that happiness lies along the route she’s carefully mapped out for herself, she’s been missing the big picture. Now, the “wrong” man is about to teach her that the best-laid plans of a practical mind can be derailed by a wayward heart…and that the right choice may be waiting right around the corner—if she’s willing to meet him halfway…

About Carly Phillips:
Years ago, New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips tossed away her legal briefs and a career as an attorney to become a stay-at-home mom. Within the year, she turned her love of reading into an obsession with writing. Over 25 published novels later, Phillips’ sexy contemporary romances are widely praised, displaying her top-shelf writing skill, as well as an empathy that allows her to consistently strike the perfect balance between entertainment and deep emotional understanding.
Carly Phillips is a New York Times bestseller, USA Today Bestseller and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller. The triple play earned her a spot on Romance Writers of America’s coveted Honor Roll. In 2002, Carly’s novel, The Bachelor, became Kelly Ripa’s “Reading with Ripa” pick on Live with Regis and Kelly, making it the first romance ever chosen on a nationally televised bookclub.
When not writing or playing online, Carly loves to read, to knit, and to spend time with her family. She lives in Purchase, New York with her husband, two daughters and two soft-coated wheaten terriers who act like their third and fourth children.
Carly Phillips has a new novel, Serendipity coming out in September 2011…it’s the first of a new series. I can’t wait! If you’ve read any of Carly Phillips novels, leave me a comment and tell me which one…I’m always looking to expand my “Want to Read” list!
