Also...

I was so excited to go pick up my computer today. I got home logged on and it crashed 3 times in a row! It's back to the shop tomorrow and demanding my money back :(

~~~

This month's romance titles just catalogued...in which there are too many hyphens, doubtful grammar and way too many unexpected pregnancies.

Prince Charming of Harley Street

The pregnancy shock

The last Kolovsky playboy

Falco: the dark guardian

One night…nine-months scandal

Untouched until marriage

The secret Spanish love-child - this one worries me. The child wouldn't come out of the womb speaking Spanish and according to the blurb, the mother is not only plain, but British. So wouldn't the poor kid have British nationality?

Followed by the hysterical historical genre

More than a governess

Wicked captain, wayward wife

The Earl’s runaway bride

The synopsis for The pregnancy shock When his PA asked for extended leave, Greek billionaire Alexei Drakos was extremely inconvenienced. He relied on Billie Foster for everything – running his life, even getting rid of his girlfriends. Little did Alexei know that Billie had left to have his baby! In fact, he didn’t even remember their passionate night and he had no idea she was pregnant!

With Billie gone, there was something missing in Alexei’s glittering existence. When she returned, he needed to offer her something special to make her stay…like a wedding ring of convenience…?

Or aka, this month's romance titles for you to laugh/be sarcastic at...

Which reminds me - anybody still wanting to join the very low pressure Write the title ficathon...Have at it!

The titles for this month:-

A mother for Matilda

Untamed Italian, blackmailed innocent

The Andreou marriage arrangement

Miracle: Marriage reunited

Greek tycoon, inexperienced mistress

The virgin's secret

Wedlocked: Banished sheikh, untouched Queen (this seems to cover all bases)

Bought: Destitute yet defiant

The master's mistress

Read the purple prose that is the synposis for Wedlocked etc! :D

About to lose his kingdom, Xavian is marrying for power – his wedding night will be purely for duty. As he unveils his new queen, nervous and naked,how can he unveil her if she's already naked?) bathed in fragrant oils, he’s stunned that she’s as beautiful as the desert stars…

This queen deserves a royal bedding worthy of the Arabian Nights…and in her arms Xavian discovers that, though he may not have a kingdom, he has the strength and power of a thousand kings. (*chokes*) But this untouched queen could be his undoing…

For tygermama who was asking for them :)*hugs her*

For one dreadful moment I thought the sheikhs had disappeared in favour of princes, but there's one included after all...as are the unnecessary hyphens!

Duty, desire and the desert king

Prince of Montez, pregnant mistress

One-night mistress...convenient wife

Crowned: The palace nanny

Royal love-child, forbidden marriage

The master player

Book blurb for 'The master player'. The blurb also reminds us that this is the author's hundredth book!

When scandal threatens the star of his network, television baron Maximilian Hart (get the pun? I'm sure the author didn't :)) whisks beautiful Chloe away from the baying paparazzi. Where better to hide this innocent beauty than the Hart mansion...?

But the handsome tycoon's plan doesn't stop at just protecting his investment - he wants Chloe in his bed!! Max might have swept her out of the fire, but Chloe finds herself in a raging inferno: Max is the master player when it comes to business and seduction...
