My Best Friend's Baby

Praise for the novels of Lisa Plumley

TOGETHER FOR CHRISTMAS

"Plumley makes her third trip to Kismet,
Mich. (after Home for the Holidays) in this laugh-out-loud
Christmas romp. This sweet romance tugs at the heartstrings from
the beginning and doesn't let up until the final page." —Publishers
Weekly

"This is a genuinely fun story, with complex,
engaging characters and a thoroughly charming holiday atmosphere.
No matter what, Lisa Plumley knows how to craft a terrific,
heart-warming story with deliciously happy endings, and I
definitely plan to go back and read her other books set in Kismet.
At least that will give me something to do until her next book
comes out!" —The Romance Reviews

"Plumley has a definite knack for providing
readers with "holiday jollity" mixed with romance. Her blend of
quirky characters who find themselves in quirky situations make for
endearing stories. The story is charming, the heroine is smart,
strong and capable, the support cast endearingly odd and the two
side love stories are bonuses." —Lezlie Patterson,
McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MELT INTO YOU

"Plumley (Holiday Affair, 2010) has written
another delightful story filled with everything her fans
expect—likable characters, a great romance, humorous situations,
witty dialogue, and a heartwarming story. "
—Booklist (starred
review!)

"This is a delightful story with a hero who
could easily be a real jerk, but is quite a sweetheart, and a
heroine determined to not be hurt by love again, yet can't help
herself. Her mistrust of the hero is quite understandable, and his
struggle to learn how to be good is entertaining. "
—Romantic
Times BOOK Reviews (4 stars!)

"Melt Into You is hilarious and well-worth
reading! The characters are adorable and this story will keep you
anxiously awaiting more from Ms. Plumley! "
—Night Owl
Reviews

THE BRIDE RAFFLE

"Ms. Plumley knows how to make her characters
real and relatable. We know these people. We have friends like
this. This ability to create realistic characters makes Ms.
Plumley's novels even more compelling. I loved every page of this
book and found it hard to put down. I can't wait to see what Ms.
Plumley produces next! "
—Historical Romance Writers

"Lisa Plumley has penned a really cute,
delightful tale with The Bride Raffle. Looking for something that
is lighthearted and fun? Something that combines romance and humor?
The Bride Raffle by Lisa Plumley is perfect for you! "
—CataRomance (4 stars!)

"A delightful read, The Bride Raffle, the
latest book in the Morrow Creek series, is a heartwarming, humorous
historical romance. Not only does author extraordinaire Lisa
Plumley give us a fun story filled with witty dialogue,
charismatic, well-drawn characters, a delicious plot, tender
romance and plenty of love, she brings the characters to life right
before your eyes. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Plumley's
works. "
—Romance Junkies (5 blue ribbons rating)

MAIL-ORDER GROOM

"This is the first Lisa Plumley historical
novel that I have read and I loved it every bit as much as I love
her contemporary novels! Her warmth and love of romance spill from
every page. Ms. Plumley has a knack for drawing her readers into
her stories and making them a part of each of us. "
—Historical
Romance Writers

"Everyone has a secret in this delightful
tale from the Old West. The concept of the mail-order groom, rather
than bride, is an entertaining twist on a standard plot. There's
plenty of gun-slinging, bloodshed, and lovemaking going on from
start to finish, which will keep readers turning pages until the
very end. "
—Romantic Times BOOK Reviews (4 stars!)

"Lisa Plumley has written a charming romance
between two very appealing characters. An engaging novel with a
heroine you won't soon forget. "
—Love Western Romances (4
spurs!)

HOLIDAY AFFAIR

"Secrets and subterfuge add complexity and
zing to this well-crafted, heartwarming story that features a
wealth of engaging characters, including five remarkable, memorable
children, and great sexual tension. A deliciously satisfying,
cocoa-worthy holiday read."
—Library Journal

"As is the case with most of Plumley's books,
Holiday Affair
has quirky characters that will make you
smile and a fast-paced story that will make you hesitate to slip a
bookmark between the pages.
Holiday Affair
is full of
Christmas atmosphere and activities, which makes it a great read
during the holidays."
—Lezlie Patterson, McClatchy-Tribune News
Service

"Lisa Plumley's latest holiday novel
delivers. It has warm gooey holiday moments complete with happy
children, Christmas traditions such as caroling and decorating
Christmas cookies and, oh yeah, hot and steamy romance. Loaded with
fun pop-culture references and witty dialogue,
Holiday
Affair
delivers on entertainment!"
—The Romance Reader (Five
Hearts!)

"A delightful story with utterly charming
characters. It brings to life the sounds, smells, and tastes of
Christmas as it brings together more than just the two main
characters for a joyous holiday season."
—Romantic Times BOOK
Reviews (4½ stars)

MY FAVORITE WITCH

"In keeping with Plumley's tradition of
lively romantic comedy (
Home for the Holidays
), her first
foray into the paranormal witch world subgenre is quirky, sexy,
creative, and hilarious."
—Library Journal

"Humorous adventures and unexpected romance
with a sprinkling of heartwarming moments will keep the reader well
entertained in this delightful tale, skillfully crafted by the
clever Plumley."
—Booklist

"Lisa Plumley delves into paranormal romance,
venturing into new territory while keeping her own brand of humor
and delivering a delightfully witchy tale in the process."
—Lezlie Patterson, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

"Lisa Plumley once again gifts readers with a
Yuletide story sure to put you in a holiday mood. This is vintage
Plumley. She's created a cast of characters that are a bit
eccentric, quirky, and likeable and spun a story that will make you
smile." —
Lezlie Patterson, McClatchy-Tribune News
Service

"A delightful secondary romance adds to the
fun in this upbeat romp that is touching, hilarious, and lightly
dusted with seasonal charm." —
Library Journal

LET'S MISBEHAVE

"Once again, Plumley shows her fine flair for
comedy as Marisol learns that there is life beyond Rodeo Drive, and
the Connelly triplets discover that they can
'
t scare away every nanny. Full of witty dialogue and
hilarious situations, this romp with a heart is certain to please
readers." —
Booklist (starred review; named one of the Top Ten
Romances of 2007)

"Plumley not only delivers a fun-filled
premise, clever dialogue and a delightfully sexy sports-loving
hero, she brings to life a memorable, hilarious and utterly unique
heroine readers will adore. This is pure romantic fantasy and an
absolutely entertaining novel from start to finish." —
Romantic
Times BOOK Reviews (4½ stars Top Pick!)

"Let
'
s Misbehave is
funny, romantic, heartwarming, and sexy. It
'
s fantastic!" —
Joyfully Reviewed

MAD ABOUT MAX

"A cool cast of secondary characters adds
much to the story as clever Plumley, who is already known for her
entertaining romantic comedies, presents another winner in this
humorous and engaging tale about a man who literally loses his
shirt, but finds his heart." —
Booklist (starred review)

"
Mad About Max
kept me laughing from
beginning to end. What great characters! Very highly recommended,
especially for fans of romantic comedy." —
Romance
Junkies

JOSIE DAY IS COMING HOME

"
Turning not-so-perfect,
unlikely characters into romance heroes and heroines is Lisa
Plumley's forte, and she once again delivers a zany cast who will
make you laugh
!" —
The State newspaper

"
In this heartwarming, often
humorous story, the feisty Josie proves that you can go home
again—if you've got the right stuff. And once again, the talented
Plumley, whose books include
Perfect
Switch
, proves that when it comes to
writing romantic comedy, few do it better
."

Rock-A-Bye, My
Baby

No way! Chloe Carmichael
vowed long ago to marry only for love. The fact that she's
unexpectedly expecting doesn't change a thing. Especially since the
Daddy-to-be is her best pal, Nick Steadman—and he can't actually
remember their fabulous-but-fleeting night of passion. Only when
her delicate condition becomes obvious does Chloe tell Nick the
truth. Well, sort of...

How could a sensible
female like Chloe have gotten mixed up with a love 'em and leave
'em Marine named Bruno? Nick is determined to track down the guy
and make him marry Chloe. After all, the least a friend can do is
see that a great gal like Chloe lives happily ever after. Heck, if
she wasn't so crazy about the oddly elusive Bruno, Nick might even
be tempted to turn his best friend into his bride!
