About this series
Four romantically minded high school girls, besties forever, vow to find one another husbands in the laughably unlikely event any of them are unmarried at age thirty. They're not laughing twelve years later when the Wedding Ring pact kicks in for the four single pals! Each girl—Raven, Charli, Sunny, and Amanda—gets her own story in this feel-good romantic comedy series.
◊
Book 1: Love's Funny That Way
The Prospective Bride: Raven Muldoon, hypnotherapist by day and aspiring stand-up comic by night. She realizes her matchmaking friends have made a grave mistake—and that's no joke.
The Prospective Groom: Brent Radley, a blind date who appears to be perfect husband material… until Raven meets his sexy-as-sin younger brother, Hunter, owner of the local comedy club. Did her pals pick the wrong brother?
The Hitch: Hunter is no choirboy, but not even he would steal his brother's girlfriend, no matter how tempted he might be. But how committed is Raven to Brent, and he to her?
◊
Book 2: I Do, But Here's the Catch
The Prospective Bride: Carlotta "Charli" Rossi, last of a dying breed: the thirty-year-old virgin. It's love at first sight when her matchmaking friends set her up on a blind date with Grant—but does he feel the same way about her?
The Prospective Groom: Grant Sterling, a handsome, rich, worldly lawyer, always in control. This confirmed bachelor's only goal is to make partner at his stuffy law firm, and for that he requires a mousy, undemanding wife who doesn't turn him on.
The Hitch: Charli is thrilled to become Mrs. Grant Sterling, but maybe she should have paid closer attention to the details before the wedding! Grant thinks he's planned the perfect marriage of convenience, devoid of messy complications like sex and commitment. Good thing perfect plans never go wrong, huh?
◊
Book 3: One Eager Bride to Go
The Prospective Bride: Sunny Bleecker, who's been waiting tables at Wafflemania for twelve years… and waiting just as long for her knight in shining armor to come rescue her. She can't wait for her matchmaking friends to find him!
The Prospective Groom: Kirk Larsen, who's a college professor, a widowed single dad, and Sunny's high school sweetheart. Between teaching and raising a toddler, Kirk isn't looking for romance, but his unexpected reunion with Sunny feels so perfect.
The Hitch: Sunny is dubious when her blind date turns out to be her old boyfriend, but her doubts quickly evaporate. Soon she's walking on air, dreaming of a white picket fence and a passel of kids... until a devastating secret threatens their second chance at happiness.
◊
Book 4: Fiancé for Hire
The Prospective Bride: Amanda Coppersmith, successful at everything except marriage. Been there, done that—twice! No way is she going to let her matchmaking pals fix her up with another husband. She's determined to remain single, which means outwitting her well-meaning friends.
The Prospective Groom: Nick Stephanos, studly New York taxi driver and the perfect choice for fake fiancé.
The Hitch: Nick is willing to play along, and the meddling matchmakers are completely taken in. So how did a simple fake engagement become so darn complicated?

Pamela Burford
Pamela Burford comes from a funny family. You may take that any way you want. She was raised in a household that valued laughter above all, so of course the first thing she looked for in a husband was a sense of humor. Is it any wonder their grown kids are into stand-up comedy and improv? It should come as no surprise that everything Pamela writes is infused with her own quirky brand of humor, from her feel-good contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels to her popular Jane Delaney mystery series, featuring snarky “Death Diva” Jane, her canine sidekick Sexy Beast, and a fun love-triangle subplot. Pamela's own beloved poodle, Murray, wants you to know that any similarities between himself and neurotic, high-strung Sexy Beast are purely coincidental. Pamela is the proud founder and past president of Long Island Romance Writers. Her books have won awards and sold millions of copies, but what excites her most is hearing from readers. She’d love it if you could take a few moments to post a review at the online store where you bought this book, and any other sites, such as Goodreads, where you like to share thoughts about books you’ve enjoyed. She’s grateful for the effort happy readers take to spread the word. It helps her and it helps your fellow readers.
