Mad About You by Mhairi McFarlane

Despite being an in demand wedding photographer, Harriet Hatley isn't exactly in love with the idea of romance and weddings. After a disastrous proposal from her now-ex, she is desperate to move out and move on. Cal Clarke has very different views on romance and marriage, but after his own wedding-related catastrophe, he finds himself with a room to sublet. Cal and Harriet are total opposites with their own secrets to hide. When Harriet's deepest secret comes to light, her world is left in pieces, which Cal helps her put back together. If Harriet can face her past with her career, friendships, and reputation at stake, happiness might just be waiting on the other side.

A Hopeless Romantic by Harriett Evans

A Hopeless Romantic by Harriett Evans

Laura Foster is very much a head in the clouds, daydreamer type. Her friends have always found it in parts amusing and exasperating; it was simply how Laura was. But when Laura lets her dreams carry her too far from reality, resulting in a broken heart and a probationary period at her beloved job, she decides a complete personality overhaul is in order. That, and a trip to the seaside with her parents and grandmother. At Chartley Hall, Laura meets Nick, the decidedly good-looking, funny estate manager. But with Nick, what one sees is not what one gets. Did Laura totally misread the situation--and the guy--again?

Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin

Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

It was refreshing to read about maintaing love in a marriage rather than finding love as so many romances are about. The characters are likeable but not perfect, just as real people are. This book was entertaining but not memorable. Audiobook

Love in a Nutshell by Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly

Love in a Nutshell by Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly   320 pages

Upbeat and engaging romance set in Keene's Harbor, Michigan with the storyline centered around a microbrewery and a would be saboteur.  Usual Envanovich romantic hijinks make this a quick and fun summertime read.
