A fake relationship gone awry. Maggie’s made a big mistake… With her brother Justin’s help, sweet, innocent Maggie Grant left the city and moved to Mountain Valley to work on her romance novel in peace. Her parents, very much against the decision, have decided to pay her a visit and drag her back home. In a moment of panic, Maggie tells them she won’t leave because she’s met the perfect man and they’re now living together. The only problem? He doesn’t exist. Liam was just minding his own business… Chef Liam Grayson can’t figure out what he’s doing in Justin Grant’s restaurant. Sure, he owes him for letting him steal away his prized sous-chef, but never in a million years did he imagine the favour he’d have to perform in return. Turns out Justin’s kid sister needs a fake boyfriend for a week, and hot, bad-boy Liam is the only one who can do the job. A fauxmance neither of them wanted… Neither Maggie nor Liam are thrilled with the arrangement…until they actually meet. But playboy Liam can’t figure prudish Maggie out—he’s never encountered a woman so closed off before. And a romance writer to boot! He knows if he can just get her to let her guard down a little… but they’re both wholly unprepared for what comes next. Get ready for a hot romance you won’t soon forget. A Dash of Romance is the third novel in a series of stand-alone steamy contemporary romance stories based in Mountain Valley.

This enormously popular genre continues to captivate people reading for pleasure, and it also commands a growing amount of academic interest. Included are alphabetically arranged reference entries on significant authors along with works, themes, and other topics. The articles are written by scholars, librarians, and industry professionals with a deep knowledge of the genre and so provide a thorough understanding of the subject. An index provides easy access to information within the entries, and bibliographies at the end of each entry, a general bibliography, and a suggested romance reading list allow for further study of the genre.

A comprehensive guide that defines the literature and the outlines the best-selling genre of all time: romance fiction. More than 2,000 romances are published annually, making it difficult for fans and the librarians who advise them to keep pace with new titles, emerging authors, and constant evolution of this dynamic genre. Fortunately, romance expert and librarian Kristin Ramsdell provides a definitive guide to this fiction genre that serves as an indispensible resource for those interested in it—including fans searching for reading material—as well as for library staff, scholars, and romance writers themselves. This title updates the last edition of Romance Fiction: A Guide to the Genre, published in 1999.While the emphasis is on newer titles, many of the important older classics are retained, keeping the focus of the book on the entire genre, instead of only those titles published during the last decade. Specific changes include new chapters on linked and continuing romances, a new section on "Chick Lit" in the Contemporary Romance chapter, an expansion of coverage on the alternative reality subset. This is THE romance genre guide to have.
