AN (ALMOST) PERFECT LOVE STORY: BOOK THREE

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000032_00030]

Ashley Phillips always believed she would live the perfect love story.

And why wouldn’t she? After all, Ashley’s been witness to her own parents’ perfect marriage, having been sweethearts ever since they met in high school. With their fairytale example to guide her, Ashley was sure that she would eventually find her very own prince charming. When she falls in love with one of her best friends, Chris, Ashley is sure she’s on her way to happy-ever-after.

When Chris proposes, Ashley is more confident than ever that her love story will be a perfect one. With the help of her mother and her best friends, Emily and Ryan, Ashley is determined to plan the dream wedding that she has always imagined.

But a devastating revelation will soon prove that the Phillips family is not as perfect as Ashley has always thought. When the cracks begin to show, Ashley will be faced with betrayal so strong it will cause her to doubt everything she’s always believed about marriage, love, and family. Now Ashley must decide if it’s time to give up the dream—or if true love is really worth fighting for after all.

 

I’m so excited to introduce  An Unexpected Love Story, the second book in the Love Story series! This fun romantic comedy is available now on Amazon for your kindle. Coming soon to Nook and in paperback.

AN UNEXPECTED LOVE STORY: BOOK TWO

Unexpected cover

Brooke Murray is looking for an escape.

Breaking away from her small town to go away to college, she thought she’d finally made it. For someone like Brooke—smart, sexy, bold, and confident—the sky should have been the limit. But a mere five years later, she found herself right back where she started: living in her parents’ apartment in the same little town in the middle of nowhere.

Though she’d rather be just about anywhere else, Brooke is determined to help her parents save the inn they nearly bankrupted. With this heavy responsibility on her shoulders, Brooke has little time—or inclination—to put much effort into her love life. Instead, she relies on her best friends, Emily and Paul, for companionship and support, and relegates the men in her life to the role of drinking buddies and one-night stands.

Brooke is perfectly happy with this arrangement until a new guest at the inn challenges everything she once thought about love. John is gorgeous, sophisticated, and exciting, and it looks like he might be hanging around for much longer than a weekend visit. 

But when hidden mistakes from the past surface, the inn’s very survival is threatened—and John himself may be involved in its imminent downfall. Suddenly forced to question everything she ever assumed about her small-town life, Brooke must now take a closer look at what is truly important to her. In doing so, she will find that true love is not nearly as complicated or scary as she thought—and may be much closer to home than she ever imagined.

IN SEARCH OF A LOVE STORY: BOOK ONE

Emily Donovan doesn’t have a romantic bone in her body.

At least, that’s what her friends Ryan and Ashley keep telling her. They’re convinced her bad luck with men is directly related to her life-long lack of interest in all things romantic. When Emily’s latest relationship crashes and burns, she decides to go along with her friends’ plans for a romance research project. Sure, the idea that she’ll have better luck if she learns about the great romances of literature and film seems a little silly, but Emily figures it can’t hurt.

In no time at all, Emily finds herself buried under a mountain of romance novels, chick flicks, and sappy love songs, hopeful that her hard work will pay off with true love. When she meets Greg, Ashley and Ryan are convinced she’s found prince charming—after all, he’s rich, handsome, and totally into Emily. What more could she want? And why does it seem that her friend Elliot isn’t exactly happy for her?

Faced with misunderstandings, miscommunications, and a seemingly endless string of missteps, she is nevertheless determined to give true love a try. In doing so, Emily will eventually find that true romance, the kind that lasts, has little to do with stereotypes or clichés, and everything to do with finding out what’s in her own heart.

I’m very proud of my best selling Three Girls series–a collection of fun romantic comedies. Scroll down for info and links for the three books!

THREE GIRLS AND A BABY: BOOK ONE

Fans of Meg Cabot, Sophie Kinsella, Gemma Townley, and Emily Giffin will enjoy THREE GIRLS AND A BABY, a fun, romantic chick-lit novel by author Rachel Schurig.

Ginny McKensie’s life is spiraling out of control.

Finished with college, she should have been planning her wedding. After all, Ginny and Josh were made for each other—everyone said so. Except the love of her life didn’t agree.

Now Ginny is back in her hometown, unwillingly single, and stuck in a dead-end job. When she discovers she’s pregnant, Ginny is convinced her life is ending. Instead of planning a future with Josh, she’s learning the truth about morning sickness, juggling bills, and seeing just how far designer jeans can stretch.

Her life-plan never included dating again (not even with her too-hot new boss), or being a single mother at 23. Now, with the help of her best friends, Annie and Jen, Ginny must try to re-imagine—and rebuild—a life she never wanted.

The ebook version of this book is currently exclusive to Amazon.

Or paperback

THREE GIRLS AND A WEDDING: BOOK TWO

Jen Campbell loves weddings. In fact, she loves them so much that she became an event planner in the hopes that she would one day get the chance to help women create the fairy tale day of their dreams…Unfortunately, the only thing Jen has been allowed to plan so far are boring restaurant openings and children’s birthday parties.

When Jen’s big break finally comes, she realizes that wedding planning is a heck of a lot more complicated than picking out the perfect flowers and cake.

Add to the chaos a pair of fighting friends, a totally pressuring mother, and a ridiculously gorgeous (but moody) best man, and Jen has her work cut out for her.

In THREE GIRLS AND A WEDDING, Jen Campbell will try to plan the perfect wedding and maybe—just maybe—create her very own happily-ever-after.

THREE GIRLS AND A LEADING MAN: BOOK THREE

Annie Duncan has never put much stock in true love. Sure, she loves dating, but she gets more than her share of drama working as a struggling actress—she can live without the romantic kind, thank you very much.
Instead, Annie focuses her energy on her two best friends, Jen and Ginny. And now that she finally appears to be getting her big break, Annie couldn’t be happier with the way things are going. When she meets Nate during a weekend away in Vegas, she figures she’ll just have an exhilarating fling—even if he is totally adorable and clearly into her. But when Annie finds herself falling for Nate, she’s faced with a choice she never wanted to make.

In THREE GIRLS AND A LEADING MAN, Annie Duncan attempts to chase her dreams and keep her heart under control. Her heart, however, may have different ideas!

Blessed with wealth, a loving family, a dream career, and the perfect husband, Kiki appears to be living a modern-day fairy tale.

For the first time in her life, Kiki has to learn to deal with true heartache—and the repercussions for her marriage are far-reaching. To make matters worse, Kiki must work with a nightmare client in the form of a frenemy from the past—or risk endangering her new business. Their uncomfortable reunion will force Kiki to confront issues and insecurities that she left behind long ago. Or so she thought.

With her unshakable spirit and optimism, Kiki Barker-Thompson must now learn to re-evaluate her choices—and her dreams. In doing so, she may just find that a real-life happily-ever-after could be possible after all.

    I happened upon Three Girls and a Baby while searching the Kindle Store and I loved it! It was so relateable. I was so excited to find Three Girls and a Wedding and Three Girls and a Leading Man. I am so glad that you gave Ginny, Jen and Annie each their own story. It was so easy to connect with all three characters! I enjoyed all 3 books and look forward to reading what you are writing next!!! All the best!

    I also found Three Girls and a Baby while browsing for my kindle. I loved that and was pleased to find the two others. I know the series has finished but I do wish there was going to be more so we could carry on with their stories!

    • rachelschurig February 16, 2012 at 2:40 am #

      Hey Skyler, thanks so much for picking up Three Girls and a Baby and checking out the next two books. If you’re looking for more on the girls, you might be interested in my next blog post:)

    I found Three Girls and a Baby through the Kindle store and absolutely loved it. After reading a few of my favorite passages to my husband (including the part when Ginny lamented that watching too many Colin Firth movies was probably not good for her health), he commented that I just might have found a kindred spirit in an author. Anyone who can write a great book that includes references to Colin Firth, Jane Austen, Stieg Larssen’s books and “Anne of Green Gables” (all on my list of all-time favorite things) is definitely someone I’d add to my list of favorite authors.

    • rachelschurig February 25, 2012 at 12:41 am #

      Jana, you’re awesome! Sounds like we have a lot in common when it comes to our book tastes. Colin Firth is so gorgy, isn’t he?? I’m so glad you liked the book, thanks so much for taking the time to comment, I REALLY appreciate it:):)

    I have read every single one of your books and i have just fallen in love with the friendships and lives of the ”Three Girls” and even kiki! I haven’t found an easy fun read like this where i feel involved in the characters’ lives in such a long time. When i found the girls and a baby, i read all the others back to back. Then i read your new one which i loved too. Now I’m sad I’ve read them all..any idea when you might have New book out? I can’t wait!! :-) your books are so great!

    • rachelschurig October 31, 2012 at 5:24 am #

      Thanks so much, Mary! I’m so glad you liked the Three Girls books! Did you know Kiki has her own book? Right now I’m working on the sequels to In Search of a Love Story. I’m hoping to have that entire series out early in the new year. Thanks again for stoping by!

  12. Elizabeth November 22, 2012 at 6:25 am #

    I have always been a huge fan of chick lit and was thrilled to find a new series I love. I am originally from Royal Oak and reading about all the places I enjoy makes them even better. I can’t wait to read more.

    • rachelschurig December 4, 2012 at 5:43 am #

      Thanks, Elizabeth! I have always loved chick lit too, and I was so excited to create books set in my hometown:) So glad you liked them!

  13. Jan & Jim Stewart November 24, 2012 at 11:41 pm #

    Hi Rachel! Congrats on your books! Just wondered who your publisher is. I’m thinking I writing children’s books with an artist friend and EO feted the best/easiest/cheapest way to go!

    Jan Stewart

    • rachelschurig December 4, 2012 at 5:44 am #

      Hi, Jan! I’m going to send you a message through fb:)

  14. Traci January 19, 2013 at 9:30 pm #

    Wow…Your books are great! Not my normal reading style but your characters are so normal and relatable. I can’t decide who’s my favorite because I love something about all of them including their spouses. I read the girls series and Kiki’s story. Getting ready to open the next….Please don’t stop writing!!

    • rachelschurig April 2, 2013 at 5:47 am #

      Thanks, Traci! I’m VERY glad you liked them. I have a hard time picking my favorite girl:) Right now I think it’s Kiki but I change my mind a lot!
