Reading update:

I've not been reading much lately, except audiobooks while I clean my house and fold that laundry that I hate so much. 🤪

Writing update:

This is why I haven't been reading very much. Some exciting things are going on behind the scenes. More romcoms are coming for you soon! 😈 (I don't know why I picked that emoji, but it seemed to fit. Lol)

And I've made the exciting decision....*drumroll please*....To publish my historical stories! WHOOT WHOOT!!!!!

Historical romance that is...

This means 1) I will still be writing romcoms, but 2) I'm going to ALSO write historical romance under a pen name, and 3) if you want to give me your opinion on a completely anonymous poll, I would LOVE that! Come weigh in on pen name, genres, and what you want first!

Lots of love and awkward hugs,

Carina Taylor

I’d do anything to take over my dad’s money management company. Even entertain deer hunters at a cabin in rural Alabama. 

Growing up in Atlanta I learned two valuable lessons: how to shop and how to do business. My mom taught me the first. My dad the second. And with his retirement growing closer by the minute, I’m determined to prove my worth as heir to Manderson Money Management.

But Dad keeps testing me, and this time he’s taken it a bit too far. Sending me well off the beaten path to Apple Cart, Alabama. To meet with a couple of men at a hunting lodge and discuss expanding their outdoors store into the southeast.

As if staying in the backwoods with no phone service weren’t enough to push me over the edge, there’s Jack, the owner of the lodge . . .

Let’s just say I didn’t know hillbillies could be smoking hot.

Now, I’m stuck trying to impress two middle-aged, gun-crazed store owners who I desperately want as business partners for our company. Plus, stay calm around one blue-eyed, camouflage-clad lodge owner who I desperately want to kiss.

How will I ever manage to strike a deal with these men I relate to in no way possible? And, even worse, keep my emotions in check around Jack, who I relate to on a much deeper level?

Catherine + Kellan = forNEVER, or so I thought.

Let’s not talk about how I was let go from my job and had to take a position as coffee-girl at a publicity firm. We definitely won't discuss their newest client and how he was the former love of my life. However, it’s fair to mention that Kellan Connelly is now my fiercest adversary.

I’ve spent the last decade playing it safe with book boyfriends—avoiding frustratingly attractive and three-dimensional guys like him.

When my roommate finds the Boyfriend Book, a silly relic leftover from my teens, it prompts a dare; go on five dates and pick one to be my Valentine. I can't say no, especially if it means proving to myself and Kellan that I’ve moved on.

Despite braving the dating jungle, none of the guys comes close to being my one true love. Except Kellan. He’s infuriating, confusing, catnip…and it turns out he has a secret.

With a love letter and a plane ticket in hand, can I leave my baggage behind and decide between love, hate, and the lies I told to protect my fragile heart?
