Blurb/Summary:

[At The End Zone]

Ainslie Logan has left her life as a trophy-wife behind and moved her family north to escape the scandal created by her ex-husband. Lacking work experience but rich in determination she lands a job at the local sports bar, The End Zone.

Dave Mason, principal of the town’s high school, frequents the End Zone and is not a fan of the clumsy new waitress. Things suddenly change when he finds himself enamored by a woman who will stop at nothing to protect her children.

Now Dave has to use all his charms to convince Ainslie and her children happy endings do exist and that it’s safe to love again.

Review:

I am absolutely loving these At The End Zone books!  Doreen Alsen creates beautiful stories that I can't get enough of.  This book features Dave and Ainslie. At first, the two don't get off to a good start.  Ainslie is new at being a waitress, and Dave doesn't know her history.  But when she goes to talk to the principal about one of her children, what a surprise to find it is Dave.

The chemistry between the two is hot!  The story is so well done I was caught up in the moment and forgot about everything else.  I loved Ainslie's kids, and the reader gets to know them through their point of view a few times.  So far, this is my favorite of the series.

If you enjoy contemporary romance, I'd advise you to hurry and get a copy of Charming Dave.  I bet it will charm you and sweep you right off your feet!

Blurb/Summary:

College professor Ian Ross is in love with Andi Nelson. Waitress Gina Francisco has carried a torch for Mike Kelly forever. When Mike and Andi get married, Ian and Gina find one night of champagne lubricated comfort in each others' arms. The two are from totally different worlds. Can they find their way into love with each other?

Review:

Have you ever watched the love of your life walk down the aisle, but they are marrying someone else? Well, Gina and Ian both have. And that's how the story, What Ian Wants, begins.

The two bond over their anger and resentment about the marriage of the bride and groom, and they end up together for a night. Then Ian asks Gina for a favour.

This book is very light-hearted, funny and plays out like a romantic comedy should. This is a highly enjoyable read. Everything that could go wrong during the course of Gina and Ian finding love does.

Doreen Alsen does a wonderful job of breathing life in to these characters, heightens the emotions, and gives the reader plenty of laughs throughout this book. Readers who love light and funny reads will love What Ian Wants.
