Ever do anything ill advised while under the influence? Melinda and Matthew did. Stranded in a snowstorm, drowning their sorrows they got "Married While Intoxicated." See how they handle their sticky situation in this hilarious romantic comedy.
Just about all of us want to get away from the demands of everyday life from time to time. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have the luxury of being able to take off to some new, exciting place whenever we feel the urge--unless we like to read.
A book can take us anywhere we’d like to go. For readers who enjoy living vicariously in pastimes or in modern times Fran Shaff provides a great escape in the more than twenty novels she’s published over the years. Fran’s fictional books have won awards from readers, reviewers and fellow authors, and her non-fiction has been acknowledged in this way too.
Love is the main focus of all of Fran’s books, whether they’re contemporary or historical, serious or humorous, written for adults or teens. Love between men and women and among friends and families is featured in her books because there is nothing most of us want more than to love and be loved. Happy endings abound, but the journey to reaching that joyful final moment is always a rocky struggle, just the way we want our fiction (even though we could do without the drama in our real lives).
Look for new, full-length historical romance novels from Fran Shaff in the ten-book “Tender Mysteries Series,” available now and debuting throughout 2013 and 2014. The first novel in the series “Resurrected” is available as a free download at most Internet bookstores. The series is available in single e-book and two-pack paperback formats.

I always wonder about people that review a work of fiction and expect the story to be based strictly on reality; Married While Intoxicated said it was a 'hilarious romantic comedy.' I found the situation and the crazy mother pretty funny, maybe because I grew up with a mother that knew how to have fun (not that mom did anything as crazy as in the book). Another thing I thought about was the parents often arranged marriage for their adult children until about a hundred years ago. Many of these couples met at the alter and managed to have successful marriages. SPOILER: This couple agreed to see each other again and explore a relationship with a touch of humor right at the end. Married While Intoxicated made me giggle as I read it because it was humorous.
