The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Stella's social awkwardness causes her to freeze up in most social situations and definitely when she's in bed. The logical solution? Hire a gigolo to teach her precisely what to do between the sheets. Armed with a checklist and a formal feedback form, Stella thinks she's ready to learn a new skill, but part-time Romeo Michael Phan knows that checklists aren't the answer to finding a true connection. Sweet, funny, and heartfelt, this book will make you giggle even as it tackles tough topics.

The Prince by Katharine Ashe
Among a slew of comic historicals (which I do adore), Ashe's deeply passionate couples stand out. In her latest, Libby Shaw's singleminded desire is to be a surgeon—an impossibility in Scotland, because of her sex. When she enlists portrait artist Ziyaeddin to help her in her charade, each subconsciously knows that the other is their weakness and the most likely route to disaster. Deeply emotional with strong-willed characters you'll root for, The Prince will haunt you until you've finished it.

The Girl in the Moss by Loreth Anne White
White concludes her hard-hitting trilogy with Angie Pallorino out of the police force but unable to avoid murder—which is a good thing, because without an investigation to keep her focused, Pallorino knows she backslides toward self-sabotage and would screw up her perpetually-on-the-edge relationship with her fiance, one of the top cops in Victoria, Canada. A skeleton found by a remote river, a mysterious engagement ring, and an old judge's desire for the truth put Pallorino in the path of a killer who will silence anyone in the way. This is my favorite of White's three Pallorino books, and I can't wait for what she writes next.
