Art Of Love Series

They say you marry a person and not a family, but tell that to a Larson bride. A year has passed since his ex-wife remarried. Now Will Larson's adult sons have decided he needs their help to start dating again. His growing desperation to date retiring high school art teacher, Jessica Daniels, makes Will think suffering their help might be worth it. He admires Jessica for her courageous art and for how she has dealt with the trauma of her life. Jessica assures Will she is incapable of lasting love, but he refuses to believe it's true. Will is sure the only part of Jessica truly damaged by her past is her heart. The skilled sculptor carves masterpieces from stone but soon discovers that he has a lot left to learn about the art of love.

Don't believe in love at first sight? This Larson romance will change your mind. Dumped by her fiancee in the middle of a tragic family crisis, Reesa Callahan readily admits she is jaded about love. No matter how sexy and nice, unless the man in her life is a home contractor, a plumber, or a potential employer, he can serve only one useful purpose to her. And even then, one night is all she can offer. She told Shane Larson that the night they met. Why can't the stubborn man accept her limited reality and just leave her alone?  Graphic novelist Shane Larson's focus is on his next book release. When that is finished, he plans to complete his doctorate. Just like he told his nagging father and gloating brother, he had definitely not been looking for a serious relationship when a one-night stand ended up being the woman of his dreams. Weeks later he's almost given up hope when helping a friend accidentally leads him to the mysterious "Anne's" front door. Rather than it being the end of his search, he finds not only the woman he wants but a whole family. Being in love with the right woman is just as wonderful as his father predicted, but does he have what it takes to love them all?

Like to laugh one minute and cry the next? This is the right romance for you. At 34, Michael Larson has made himself into a good man, even if he is still far from being a perfect one. He considers himself at least reformed of his previous bad dating habits. Unfortunately, Carrie Addison, the future mother of his child and the woman he loves madly, doesn't agree with that assessment. The challenge he faces is how to keep Carrie in life until he finds a way to change her mind.  Despite advice from his meddling family about hanging on to a woman looking to escape him, Michael pressures Carrie into a marriage of convenience. Her indecision about him and the baby is heart-wrenching, but Michael won't let even her doubts stop him. He can't bear the thought of losing her now that he finally has her in his arms at last.

Everyone loves weddings—well, everyone but the Larson brides.  What do multiple weddings finally getting to happen, a new career for Ellen, and an art gallery opening have in common?  They're all in this new light-hearted addition to the Art of Love series. Packed with lots of resolution and the wobbly path to matrimony for some of Larson brides, this romantic comedy about weddings will have you laughing from beginning to end. NOTE: For maximum enjoyment of the entire Larson family saga, reading the previous three books in this sexy romance series is highly recommended. 

Philosophers and artists see things differently, including romance and love.  Book 5 finds Drake Barrymore contemplating his philosophies about many things, including his attraction to a certain sexy Philosophy professor. In 42 years of living, Drake has seen the best and worst life has to offer. He has loved and lost a wife. He has managed to raise his son alone. But now all he can think about is a woman who is way too young for him. Dr. Brooke Daniels has an enticing body, a kiss-me mouth, and a sharp gaze that questions all the excuses he tries to make.  On his canvasses, Drake can cover life's truth with paint, but he knows all too well that strategy won't work in his real life, especially not with his current problem. All he can see without loving Brooke is more loneliness than he's ever known.

He's obsessed with his art and with a woman who doesn't want to love him. Maybe he should be grateful. Without the constant frustration, Joseph McEldowney figures he might never have answered any artistic urge to express his emotions. Now carving life from wood is all that soothes him. Too bad he can't carve out a place in this world where nothing matters except the heaven-sent pull he and Jillian Lansing have towards each other. She says he doesn't fit her long-term plans. If that's true, why should he torture himself with the short-term pleasure she's offering? But how can he turn her away when he can't get her off his mind? Jillian Lansing has been ambitious all her life. Despite helping care for her deceased brother's children, she kept her own big dreams for a family of her own. Sure, they've been put on hold for the last few years, but her life is way more stable now. Her auntie duties are relaxing into something almost normal. Reesa and Shane are doing great with the kids, and now expecting one of their own. Her lifelong best friend's pregnancy is another wake-up call for her. Despite both of them grieving the loss of their siblings, Reesa managed to find her perfect partner. So where is hers? She's certainly dated enough trying to find him.
