A New Lilac Bay Book is Here!

Posted on March 27, 2018 by rachelschurig

I am so glad that I can finally share the new Lilac Bay book with all of you! I think this might have been the hardest book I’ve ever written. I was working through a lot of anxiety and writer’s block with this book. So it feels really good to not only be finished with it, but to be really happy with how it turned it out. I so hope you like it too! You can check it out on Amazon and everywhere else ebooks are sold. Let me know what you think!

Two rival bar owners. One inconvenient attraction. All’s Fair in Love and Beer in this new small town romance from USA Today Bestselling author Rachel Schurig!

***

Cora Hanson’s bar is a Lilac Bay institution.

And that’s just the way she always wanted it. Nothing makes Cora happier than knowing her friends and neighbors are having a good time at Cora’s Place, the pub she’s poured her heart and soul into. Sure, maybe it gets a little stressful, working as much as she does. And yes, it’s been an awful long time since Cora has made time to date. But what does that matter so long as her bar remains Lilac Bay’s most popular gathering place?

When Owen Nichols shows up with plans to open his own bar, Cora is sure she doesn’t have anything to worry about. There’s no way some outsider can compete with her years of success. There’s only one problem—Cora and Owen have history. And it’s hard to concentrate on beating Owen in business when she can’t seem to forget what it was like to be in his arms.

Cora knows she needs to get her head in the game if she wants to win in this battle of the beer joints. But Owen doesn’t seem to be backing down. And it’s starting to look like it’s not Cora’s customers he’s after—it just might be her heart.

Starstruck is now available!

Posted on April 21, 2015 by rachelschurig

Eeek! Starstruck is finally here! This is the fourth novel in the Lovestruck series and I’ve had it planned for AGES. I can’t believe I finally get to share it with you!

I have those usual release day jitters! This time they’re even worse because I really love these characters so much and I hope everyone else does too! It was so much fun to write in the Lovestruck world but to focus on different characters. I particularly loved writing about Jackson from a different perspective. Sofie gets to know him in a way that Lizzie doesn’t so it was fun to explore his character more in depth. I really hope you all like it!

Here are the links:

**The book has been published on Google Play but it is not live in the store yet. I will update here and on Facebook as soon as I have a link! Sorry for the delay.**

Here’s a little more detail about the new book:

STARSTRUCK

Sofia Flores has had a crush on Jackson Coles for as long as she can remember. And she’s hardly the only one. After all, Jackson is one of the most famous movie stars in the entire world. Sofie never imagined she’d get any closer to her fantasy crush than admiring him on the big screen. Real life just doesn’t work that way.

But everything changes when her cousin Lizzie marries Jackson’s co-star, Thomas. Suddenly, Sofie finds herself actually meeting Jackson Coles, up close and personal. It’s every fan girl’s dream come true. And to Sofie’s shock, Jackson seems just as excited to spend time with her.

Despite Jackson’s attentions, Sofie knows that real life is rarely like the movies. Real life means struggling as a single mother, running out of money, and dealing with a loving but frustratingly obtrusive family. Not to mention the heaps of Baby Daddy Drama that continue to plague her…and threaten to take away the very thing she holds most dear in life. There’s simply no room in her life to go chasing after a movie star, even one as gorgeous as Jackson Coles.

But when Jackson shows that he’s more than willing to do the chasing, Sofie has a big decision to make. Will she play it safe? Or will she risk everything for the perfect Hollywood ending of her own?

Let me know what you think! xoxo

Persuaded is here!

Posted on March 30, 2015 by rachelschurig

I have a brand new book available today! Persuaded is a stand alone novel inspired by my favorite Jane Austen novel, Persuasion. These were some of my favorite characters to write and I really hope you enjoy it!

Annabelle Elliot will always think of Rick Wentworth as the one that got away, the only man she ever loved. But Rick’s vision of their future together threatened the one that Annabelle had been working towards her entire life. Allowing her friends to persuade her to end it had definitely been the right thing to do…hadn’t it?

When Rick turns up at her office ten years later, Annabelle is dismayed to learn that the fate of her company, the company she’s given up everything for, now rests squarely on his shoulders. The only way she’s going to get out of this is to work with Rick. Successful, talented, gorgeous Rick, who’s threatening to stir up emotions Annabelle thought she’d long since banished. Rick, who clearly hasn’t forgiven her for their shared past.

But the more time she spends with him, the more Annabelle realizes just how much she’s had to sacrifice for her success. As the threat against her company grows and the people she trusts most start to turn their backs on her, Annabelle is faced with her biggest choice in ten years: Will she allow herself to be persuaded to settle again? Or could this be her second chance at love?

New Three Girls and a 2015 update!

Posted on February 5, 2015 by rachelschurig

There’s a brand new Three Girls short story!
Snow Kissed is a short story set in the world of the Three Girls! It focuses on Bella, Kiki’s cousin, and her week spent babysitting with the girls. It was really fun to revisit the girls and I hope you check out the story! You can find it for a limited time in the LOL Volume 3 Anthology. For a short time the Anthology of 16 stories is only $.99! Some of my favorite romantic comedy writers, including USA Today and NY Times bestsellers, are in this anthology with me. You can find it here:

Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, iTunes, Google

2015 UPDATE

I wanted to share an update on the coming year and what I have planned. I can’t tell you how many times I get the question, “When will the next Ransom/Lovestruck/Three Girls book be out?” I LOVE knowing that you guys are excited about these characters and looking forward to reading more about them! I can’t give you exact dates right now, but I thought a brief overview was in order 🙂

Persuaded

The first book in 2015 is something brand new–Persuaded. I’m really excited about this chick lit novel, a modern version of one of my very favorite books–Persuasion, by Jane Austen. This book is just about ready for editing so it should be available in the next month or so. I can’t wait to see what you think!

Lovestruck

Book 2 in 2015 is Sofie’s book! Starstruck is coming along really well! I think I’ll have a cover reveal in the next few weeks and the book should be ready early in the spring. There’s plenty of Lizzie and Thomas in this book. Sofie’s book WILL NOT be the last book in this series. There’s still lots of Lizzie, Thomas, Callie, Charlie, Jackson, and Medina family fun to come!

Ransom

Book 3 of the new year is going to be in the Ransom series. I have some news about this book and I’m a little nervous it might make some people unhappy! I know a lot of you are really excited for Lennon’s book–I’m excited to write it! I’ve been going over (and over and over) my plot notes and my calendar and I just can’t figure out a way around this–I think Lennon’s books needs to be pushed back because Levi’s book has to come next. I know Lennon fans will be sad that his book won’t be the next Ransom book, but there are so many things that need to happen with Levi before Lennon’s story can be told. I am confident I can still write Lennon’s book in 2015, it just won’t be next.

In happy news, I’m REALLY liking the stuff I have planned for all of the Ransom characters in Levi’s book. I think you guys will be happy with it. And Lennon’s books will be here before you know it! 🙂

Three Girls

There will be a new Three Girls book in 2015! My initial plan is to release this book in the summer. I always miss the girls when I’m writing other books so I’m REALLY looking forward to getting back to Annie, Ginny, Jen, and Kiki!

…and something new!

I also have plans for a few novels in a brand new series. It’s always a little scary to step away from series and characters that my readers are invested in but I’m SO excited for the new series. I think it kind of has a Three Girls feel to it, so I’m hoping you guys will like it. The challenge, of course, will be balancing the new stuff with the series you guys are already into. I promise to work really hard to keep wait times between books as short as I can!

On that note, I should probably get to writing! Let me know if you have any questions. I hope the new year is treating you all wonderfully so far. It’s freeeeeeezing here!

xoxo

Lovestruck in London is free!

Posted on October 3, 2014 by rachelschurig

USA Today Bestseller

Posted on February 19, 2014 by rachelschurig

It’s been a crazy few weeks! I wanted to post about this last week but I’ve been pretty bogged down with Fred and Ellie. Now that they’re officially with the editor (yay!) I thought I’d take a second to share this awesome news…

I was so excited to release the new Three Girls book and it was really fun to hear how you responded to it. I got tons of feedback and it made me crazy happy to know people care about those characters as much as I do. You’re all awesome!

To celebrate the new book I decided to put the first three books in the series on sale. And that’s when things got really nutty! I was so shocked by the response, I can’t even tell you! At one point my little series was in the top twenty on Amazon and #1 on Barnes and Noble. #1! I never thought I would be #1 anywhere! Even better, on Wednesday of that week I found out that I made the USA Today Bestseller list. What?! That’s just crazy talk! In my wildest dreams I wouldn’t have imagined that something like this would ever happen. USA Today! So Insane!

Now things have started to get back to normal but I’m still living in a little happy bubble 🙂 I wanted to take a minute to thank you all so very much for your support over the past few years. Your comments on this blog, your emails, your interaction on Facebook, your reviews–all of these things make my job so worth doing. I spend so much time chained to my computer by myself and your interaction makes such a difference to me. And if you’ve taken a moment to tell a friend about one of my books, or to tweet a link, or share something on Facebook, or to write a review, or spent your hard-earned money on one of my stories, please know that you’ve helped me live my dreams of being a full-time writer. I honestly couldn’t do any of this without you guys and I am so, so thankful.

I have a full year planned with oddles of stories to share with you in 2014 (more Thomas and Lizzie, more Ellie and Fred, a bunch of brand new stuff–maybe even some more Three Girls!). Stuff like this just makes me want to work even harder to make my books the best they can be for all of you. On that note I’m going to get back to work on the next project 🙂

Thanks, you guys. Really.

New Three Girls Available NOW!

It’s here! I’m so excited! I’m also feeling vaguely sick, lol. This book means so much to me and I really hope you guys like it. I’ve gotten so much amazing support from so many awesome readers as I wrote this book. I know a lot of you love Ginny, Jen, and Annie just as much as I do–I hope I did them justice!

On that note, I hope you all take a moment to look at the dedication of the book. Amazon tends to automatically start kindle books on the first page, so you might have to scroll back a little bit to see the dedication. I hope you take the time to see what I wrote in the dedication 🙂
