Got up this morning to find that Married In A Rush has been given a Top Pick by Heather Heistand at Romance Reader at Heart!
Julie Cohen returns with her October release from Mills & Boon Modern Extra, the international line replacing Harlequin Temptation. Once again she writes the perfect short contemporary romance!
Jo Graham is a friend of the characters from Cohen’s last book, but she’s another unique heroine—a risk-taking commitment-phobe. One minute she’s turning down a marriage proposal, and the next she’s having a sexual encounter in a broom closet in a museum! Is that a bad thing when you’ve met the sexiest man you’ll ever see in your lifetime?
Bruno Deluca has a history of attachment disorder himself, but he’s moved all the way from Boston to London so he can spend time with his fatherless nephew, so you know he’s a keeper. When Jo finds herself pregnant, she knows he’ll want to be a part of his child’s life. It’s obvious to everyone but them that the two are perfect for each other in every way as they negotiate a marriage of convenience.
Despite the title, it doesn’t seem like Jo and Bruno are married in a rush, since they are so right together. Cohen keeps it light and fun and sexy, despite a surprising emotional realism. If you haven’t read her yet, make sure you track down all her books!
What a great way to start the day.
I’m going to London today to give a talk on US contests to the London RNA chapter, and then I am meeting Biddy for cake at a cafe-and-sex-shop. Should be an interesting day…but first I need to write a few pages.
Congratulations, Julie! Have fun with Biddy and the cake
Well done, you! Enjoy the cake.
And btw, our books look very nice next to each other on the shelves of my local WH Smith today. So I’m raising a piece of cake to you from here, O Shelfmate

Yay on the review! Great going.
What a wonderful review – congrats!
I need to buy this book…
That gives me the warm fuzzies. I’d never heard of them for reviews. I’ll have to try them too!
Woo Hoo! Congrats on the great review!
Congrats on the review! The book sounds awesome; I’m going to read it real soon!
Thanks, Jess, Kate, Michelle, Karen, Jenna, April, and Julie. Love you guys!
Thanks for the great talk on Saturday. Despite having to rush to the toilet during it, I found it very interesting, helpful and inspiring. So much so that when I hopefully finish typing up my current wip, I want to enter the Romance Junkies contest next year and see what happens. Great to see you again.
Thank you Julie–and good luck with the contest!
Great review!
Sorry I missed your RNA talk but I’m teaching a novel writing course on Saturdays at the mo so wasn’t able to make it.
