THE IMPORTANT THINGS by Shelley Munro

The last person Tara Scott expected to see when she answered her door on Valentine’s Day was Max Balfour. For one shocked moment she stared, nonplused by his appearance before reaction kicked in. The day designated for lovers. Tara grasped the door for support, her heart racing like a wild, unbroken horse while she considered the irony. She had thought about him constantly since Christmas. The flutters in her stomach intensified, but she fought back, firing a scorching glare in his direction in an effort to try to hide her rising panic.

“What do you want?” she snapped, trying to counteract her anxiety with anger.

Max raked one hand through his dark, shaggy hair acknowledging her greeting with a wry twist of lips…

Rating: suitable for general reading.

WILD THING by Shelley Munro

“Mum, have you done the wild thing with Sean?”

Rose spun around and gaped at her teenage daughter in shock. Hot flags of color flew to
her cheeks, and her mouth worked but no sound came out. A grin spread across Sara’s face,
and it was this unrepentant smirk that finally jolted Rose to speech.

“Sara!” she snapped, still experiencing the ripple of shockwaves at her daughter’s far from
innocent question. Sure, she encouraged her two children to discuss anything with her, but this
was different. Sean was out of bounds.

Rating: one sensual love scene.

MIDDLEMARCH MATES FAMILY TREE by Shelley Munro

In 2004 I wrote Scarlet Woman, the first story in my Middlemarch Mates series for Ellora’s Cave. In Sep 2009, the eighth book in the series is due for release. As the series has progressed the number of characters has also increased.

Coming soon: A cookbook featuring some of the recipes Emily Mitchell uses at her cafe, Storm in a Teacup.

Rating: No love scenes although the books in the series make up for it!

TURNING POINT by Shelley Munro

“I don’t want you to go out,” Connor whined. Gabby West’s six-year-old son tugged on her skirt to emphasize his displeasure. “Can’t you stay here and play with me? You said we were going to make some Christmas decorations.”

“We’ll make the decorations this weekend.” Gabby forced a smile to hide the trembling nerves inside, the uncertainty she was determined not to show her son. It was true he’d been through a lot in his short life—they both had—and she wore the guilt like an uncomfortable pair of panties. Bottom line, she’d picked the wrong man to marry and they’d both paid for her mistake.

Because of her failed marriage, she didn’t trust men easily. Connor hid every time he saw a male older than fifteen. Gabby bit her bottom lip to stop it quivering. She hated the way her son cowered, the memories of her ex-husband hitting him lingering long after the actual blows. Her fingers curled into the tea towel she held, tears burning at the back of her eyes. Her fault. Bad judgment on her part had branded Connor, leaving him fearful and forcing him to grow up way too fast. She dried the last cup and set the tea towel aside.

Maybe she should stay at home. Almost as soon as the thought formed, she discarded it….

FOLLOW THAT DREAM by Shelley Munro

Newly divorced and nearing forty, Rose is determined to recapture the dream of her youth. This time nothing will stand in her way—not a man or an unplanned pregnancy, and certainly not the younger Sean MacNamara who considers her a prime candidate for a romantic fling.

Sean MacNamara wants time out from his famous alter ego, Robbie Mac. He used to enjoy touring and the publicity but now lacks enthusiasm for the music he once loved. The weary traveler aches to put down roots, to find a woman who loves him for himself instead of his fame and bank account.

A bitter divorce makes Rose stand back and take stock of her life. The teenage pregnancy and subsequent marriage that forced her to ditch the overseas culinary training has given her two children she adores, but now that they’re older they no longer need her the same way. Is age forty leaving it too late to pursue her dream?
