From the publisher:

The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

Makin’ Bacon: At 42, divorcée Tate Madison is looking for a sperm donor and nothing more. Her younger brother’s best friend, Big Jim Cochon, is happy to oblige the old-fashioned way for a chance at forever with his lifetime crush. He’ll have to convince her happily-ever-after is worth the risk.

The Farmer Takes a Husband: Riley Fenniman is happily single at 47 until a health scare forces her to find a husband in order to save her legacy. Deacon Jeffries jumps at the chance to marry his favorite client and give his daughters a mother. Love might not be enough when he discovers her secret.

The Butcher and the Baker: After six broken engagements, 43-year-old butcher Petra Lochsley wants nothing to do with men and romance. Baker Auggie Hofmeier didn’t mean fall in love with or accidentally marry the butcher, but his heart seems to know what it’s doing. Unfortunately, the conniving retired candlestick maker threatens their happily-ever-after.

When Harry Met Wally: Fifty-year-old widow Wallis Danforth has found jerks and perverts during her misadventures in dating. Harry Kreiger never believed in love at first sight until he witnessed his Princess Charming putting her rude date firmly in his place. Now he has to convince her he isn’t too young to give her happily-ever-after.

And Baby Makes 2½: Forty-five-year-old family law expert Georgina Swofford knows marriage and children aren’t in her cards. Oscar Banyan needs her help to gain guardianship of his newborn nephew, even if she represented his ex-wife during a brutal divorce five years ago. Their sparks produce fire of an unexpected sort.

New Release: THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER

Happy Release Day to this sassy contemporary romance “romcom”: THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER by Mellanie Szereto!

I narrated this one with J. River Pierce who is the perfect Auggie for my Petra: cute, stubborn, and a bit sweet, just like his pastry. THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER is book 3 in The Homegrown Cafe Book Club Series. You can listen to the first two books on Audible, each with a different “perfect pair” of narrators: MAKIN’ BACON and THE FARMER TAKES A HUSBAND.

 

From the Publisher:

The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

After six broken engagements, butcher Petra Lochsley wants nothing to do with men and romance. Her hobbies include throwing axes, discussing books and having raunchy conversations with her middle-aged friends, and eating the occasional Boston cream doughnut – when the flirtatious baker doesn’t insist she prostitute herself for the decadent pleasure. One game of tongue hockey is enough with the guy she used to babysit. So what if he’s hot and is a good kisser?

Baker Auggie Hofmeier didn’t mean fall in love with or accidentally marry the butcher, but his heart seems to know what it’s doing. Besides, his new wife invited him home for a wedding night and more, that is, until the conniving interference by The Candlestick Maker, the old man who owns the shop he and Pet both want to buy, threatens their happily-ever-after. What’s a knave to do?

Listen to THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER on Audible or Amazon.
