BOOK 2: STAR STRUCK
Skye Threppel’s life was shattered by a car crash that stole her memories and her fiancé. Struggling to move on, she agrees to join her best friend Felix at a TV convention in Nevada. There, she meets Jack Whitaker, a brooding writer with a troubled past. Despite their undeniable connection, Skye must face the mysteries of her own past before she can truly begin to heal — and love again.
BOOK 3: THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE
Holly Grey avoids relationships — her life is complicated enough. But then her best friend Megan ropes her into joining a group that practices magic to find love. Sceptical of the rituals, Holly meets Kai, a cynical but gorgeous journalist who is intent on proving that love and romance don’t bring happiness. But sometimes, getting what you want is knowing what to wish for.
BOOK 4: WRITTEN IN THE STARS
Molly Gilchrist hasn’t had a date in eighteen months. So when she stumbles upon a gorgeous man, naked and drunk, on the Yorkshire moors, it seems the universe is laughing at her. But astrophysicist Phinn Baxter has a past that’s a match for Molly’s own catastrophic love life. Was their meeting a cosmic joke that will end in disaster, or is their story written in the stars?
BOOK 5: DEAR DAISY
Bestselling author Winter Gregory escapes to Yorkshire to finish her new book and put her recent heartbreak behind her. Winter’s only comfort is her twin sister, Daisy, who’s always there for her. When Winter meets Alex, she begins to see the possibility of a fresh start, until the life she thinks she's left behind catches up with her. Now Winter must decide if she can truly move on — or if her past will keep her from finding happiness.
BOOK 6: THE PRICE OF LOVE
Willow Cayton has given up on love — every date ends in disaster. Until she’s swept off her feet by her university crush, successful businessman Luke Fry.

About the author
Jane Lovering
44 books235 followersJane Lovering was born in Devon, England but, following extradition procedures, now lives in Yorkshire. She has five children, four cats, two dogs and doesn't believe in housework so the bacteria and dust are approaching sentience and now rank among the pets. Incidentally, she doesn’t believe in ironing either, and the children all learned self-defensive cookery at early ages. She works in a local school and also teaches creative writing, which are extreme ways of avoiding the washing up.
Published since 2008, she writes romantic comedies which are often described as ‘quirky’. One day she's going to find out what that means. Jane is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and has a first class honours degree in creative writing. In 2012, her novel Please Don't Stop the Music won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award by the RNA.

Kinda quirky
Good books, well written, but there are some characters that are real doozies. Yay, someone finally wrote a story where the nerd ends up getting the girl instead of the rock star (and even he was kinda quirky, honestly). Enjoyable stories.
