The Waitress
By Nathan, Melissa
The Appetizer
Katie has lofty career aspirations that seem to change almost hourly: writer, film director, teacher, educational psychiatrist. In the meantime, she’s waiting tables and waiting for “Mr. Right” to arrive out of the blue — which seems unlikely, considering her romantic track record is as pitiful as her job history.
The Main Course
Still, a girl can dream, even when she’s rushing a hot plate of linguini over to the nasty customer at table six. So when gorgeous, sensitive, perfect Dan Crichton asks her out, Katie’s over the moon. But once again, commitment phobia rears its ugly head and dinner turns into the Great First Date Disaster — and Katie’s ideal romance is over before the goodnight kiss.
The Just Desserts
Things are tough when a woman wants it all and will not settle — and has a little trouble making up her mind. But it’s about to get really complicated for the Queen of Complications.
The Bill
Not only is Dan coming back — as her new boss and engaged to someone else — but persistent Ex-Boyfriend #3 Hugh’s back too, with a vengeance. And suddenly there’s a lot more on her tray than even the most able food service professional could safely handle …
Bitten
By Armstrong, Kelley
If you like reading vampire romances, why not give werewolves a chance? Bitten is a sophisticated, sexy, fast-paced read, with a very interesting take on the werewolf mythology.
Salty
By Smith, Mark Haskell
3 of 5 stars I picked this one up because the main character is an aging rock star. My final take on this one in 3 words…Erotica for Dudes!
Palace of Tears
by Alev Lytle Croutier, 2000
Who was she, the mystery woman in the painting? He was consumed by her. Casimir de Chateauneuf was a man with everything, but he was bored with his life. His thoughts turned to nothing but her. He had to find her and so Casimir left his home, his family and everything he knew to travel to a distant land to find his love. In a far off place, she dreamed of a man who dreamed of her, and so she waited for her love to find her. “Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along” begins the magical journey that is Alev Lytle Croutier’s book, The Palace of Tears. This slim volume is an enchanting tale of two people destined to find one another.

How to Kill a Rock Star
by Tiffanie DeBartolo
This book is chic-lit for the rock n roll girl…
Eliza moves to New York to write for a music mag. She rooms with budding “Rock God” Paul Hudson, the singer and songwriter for Bananafish. Eliza’s brother happens to play bass for Paul’s band, and knows Paul’s history with women. He warns Paul to stay away from his sister. But the roommates are instantly attracted – and a romance ensues.
Filled with sexy, dramatic, edgy situations, Tiffanie Debartolo’s sophomore effort does not disappoint if you’re looking for a quirky romance. Add the realistic look at a young band’s struggle to rise above the evils of the music industry and you feel like you’re inside an episode of VH1’s Behind the Music.
If you like HTKARS, try DeBartolo’s 1st book God-Shaped Hole, which she dedicated to the late, great Jeff Buckley.
