What could be worse for a former high school beauty queen who never landed the only man she ever loved than attending--alone--a 10-year high school reunion? At least that's how successful textile designer Jane Louise Jones views her situation. In her hometown a woman is still looked at as a failure if she isn't married. At least, that's what her grandmother and all the other women of the Vernon Ladies Bridge Club would have her believe.

Jane is used to dealing with challenges, but she's decidedly nervous about her reunion. What if Morgan Sherwood, the town boy-wonder who made good in a big way, shows up? Morgan was once her secret love, a geeky teen who stole her heart and then broke it before leaving town forever.

Fortunately, her best friend assures her that Morgan will be a no-show. It's terrible when you can't trust your best friend! Morgan arrives with his entourage in a stretch limo. He's not a geeky kid any more. He's six feet of tanned, rippling muscles, and he plans to focus his high-powered brain and use every masculine charm he possesses to seduce the lovely Miss Jones.

With a former classmate intending to claim him as husband number four, a Hollywood starlet who shows up to party with him, and an old boyfriend intent on stealing Jane's affection, Morgan has more obstacles than he'd expected. Throw in the Ladies of the Bridge Club, lots of southern charm, and a ten-year old betrayal, and you have all the ingredients for a heartwarming, funny, sexy romantic comedy. Can Jane and Morgan get it right this time?

Jane wants to resist. She really does. Her brain says no, but her body says, oh, baby! Yes, yes, yes. Smoldering desire, thwarted for ten years, explodes into passion. Will it burn away their doubts or turn their love into ashes?

PRAISE FOR JANE (I'M STILL SINGLE) JONES
1. Listed as 1 of 5 GREAT Indie Romance Novels by Amy Edelman of IndieReader.com on Aug. 30, 2011, on RomanticLoveBooks.com.
2. Attracted the attention of an Editor with Bragelonne who bought World French Rights for Print and Ebook.
3. Reader Review: WHAT A FUN READ! January 18, 2012, By Barbara Sissel (The Woodlands, TX United States) "I don't ordinarily read lighthearted books in any genre! Maybe it's my early reader influence, growing up with a mom who introduced me to the classics. I fell in love with the dark writers, Tolstoy, Hawthorne, the Bronte sisters. But I had corresponded with Joan and read her blog and liked it so much, so wanted to try her fiction. I loved the description of Jane (I'm-Still-Single) Jones. Who hasn't attended their high school reunion and not felt what Jane feels? Even successful, the high school beauty queen, no less, you still feel somehow inadequate--and there's always that guy, the one relationship that didn't end right. Jane's story captures every nuance of reunion doubt and trepidation. In fact every character in the story is so well defined, I felt warmed in their presence. Joan Reeves is one smart, professional writer who knows her genre inside and out and just how to serve it up with equal measures snappy dialogue, humor and romantic delight. I loved this book and recommend it!"

Hello! Hej og velkommen! Bonjour et bienvenue! Hallo und herzlich willkommen! Ciao e benvenuto! Olá e bem-vindos! Hola y bienvenidos!

I'm Joan Reeves! I write funny, sexy romances because I think the world needs more love and laughter. I'm multi-published in print and a longtime freelance writer published all over the Internet under my own name, various pseudonyms, and as a ghost.

My ebooks are fun reads. I like to call them a "little vacation between the covers of a book."

I invite you to visit my blog http://SlingWords.blogspot.com and my website http://www.JoanReeves.com for more information about my books.

You may wonder what makes me different as a writer? Though we are all different on the outside, on the inside, we all share the same human desires and emotions.

My job as a writer is to appeal to those human emotions. I sometimes think professional writers do this well because, as F. Scott Fitzgerald pointed out, "A writer isn't just one person. He (or she) is a whole lot of people trying to be one person."

I try to live my motto, my Vision Statement, and I offer it to you as my parting words: "It's never too late to live happily ever after."

Happy Reading and Best Wishes!
Joan Reeves
