Author: Melanie Harlow
Genre: NA, Contemporary Romance, Humor
Released: October 20, 2014
Synopsis:
Twenty-eight year old Coco Thomas knows the recipe for disaster: 1) Agree to plan last-minute engagement blowout for spoiled Mafia princess before you realize her choice of caterer is Nick Lupo, a despicably gorgeous young chef with a hot new restaurant in town, a reality TV show victory, and a romantic past with you—one that did not end well. 2) Strike a deal with Nick in which you agree to spend a weekend with him in exchange for his services, under the strict conditions there will be no talking about the past, no second chances, and definitely no sex. 3) Violate all three conditions within 24 hours and spend two glorious days remembering what made you fall for the sexy, egotistical bastard in the first place, and why it hurt so much when he broke your heart. Add one road trip, plenty of good scotch, and endless spoonfuls of chocolate cake batter drizzled over your body and licked off inch by oh-my-God-yes-right-there inch, then just admit it. You’re totally FORKED.

My Thoughts on FORKED and the Frenched series thus far:
This is one of the most deliciously addictive series out there. I absolutely fell in love with Frenched! It was a book that had been sitting on my Kindle for MONTHS and one day, on a whim, I decided to finally open it and read it. I could have kicked myself for waiting so long to read it. The fantastic writing, the great characters, and the beautiful Parisian setting made for wonderful escape. I devoured it and was beyond excited to find out a novella, Yanked, was being released. I really enjoyed that one too. It was a bit angsty but perfectly written. Then, much to my delight, Forked was announced. AND let me tell you…you WANT to meet Nick Lupo! Holy Mother of Hotness!!!! An inked chef with a heart of gold? YES PLEASE!!! Nick Lupo and Coco Thomas have a past and when years later they find themselves back in each others lives things get explosive. Their chemistry is through the roof and you can’t help but root for a HEA….they so deserve it. I cannot recommend this series enough. Add it to your TBR and enjoy the ride!

SYNOPSIS
When Tucker Branch, playboy heir to Branch Bolt and Screw, screws and bolts a week before their wedding, Mia Devine wants nothing more than to crawl under her newly monogrammed sheets and plan a funeral for her dignity. But her friends convince her that bitter tastes better when it’s drowned in Bordeaux, so Mia grits her teeth and packs her bags, determined to make the best of her luxurious Paris honeymoon—alone. She never planned on meeting Lucas Fournier. The easygoing bartender’s scruffy good looks and less-than-sympathetic ear annoy her at first, but when she takes him up on his offer to show her around the city, she discovers that the romance of Paris isn’t just a myth. Nor is the simultaneous O. The last thing Mia needs is another doomed love affair, but since she only has a week, she figures she might as well enjoy la vie en O with Lucas while she can. But each day—and night—with Lucas is better than the last, and suddenly her heart is telling her this is more than a rebound fling. Is it just the seduction of Paris…or could this be the real thing?

Mia Devine fell hard for Lucas Fournier after their magical week in Paris. But eight months later, the free-spirited half-French musician still hasn’t made any promises about their future.

Fed up with stolen weekends and lonely nights, Mia flies to New York armed with a list of reasons why they should take the next step, but an unexpected guest in Lucas’s apartment derails her plans. He’s been keeping secrets–worse, he claims he’s happy with the way things are. Without the magic of Paris, can their mismatched love survive?
