Moonlight Road

Written by Luellen, Trotwood Branch Library

Robyn Carr has done it again! Mature, likable people in honest relationships dealing with believable situations, and of course romance. In Moonlight Road, the latest book in the Virgin River series, Erin Foley and Aiden Riordan meet in a unique way. After all, what would you do if a shaggy-haired man with a machete came walking up to you while you were doing yard work? Erin Foley hits her head, giving herself a concussion, when Aiden Riordan came walking out the woods. Erin is just trying to relax at her family's mountain cabin in a little area called Virgin River when in strolls this wild looking mountain man! Erin is a busy lawyer who spent her life taking care of her younger siblings. Now that her siblings are on their own Erin has to learn how to relax and have fun. Aiden Riordan is a doctor just out of the United States Navy hiking his way around the hills in Virgin River, spending time with family, while he decides where to practice medicine. What happens is he starts falling in love with this controlling, vulnerable, strong woman. Erin and Aiden's journey is fun, moving and a great story.

Casual Hex

Written by KristenMain Library

Casual Hex by Vicki Lewis Thompson is a brand new addition to her series set in the fictional Indiana town Big Knob, which at first glance is a small town with nothing particularly unusual about it except for the suspiciously shaped rock formation that gave it its name. Those who have read the first two books in the series (Over Hexed and Wild and Hexy) know that Big Knob's allegedly haunted forest actually has a dragon living in it, and that Dorcas and Ambrose, a marriage counseling and matchmaking husband and wife team who recently moved to town, are a witch and a wizard on an assignment to help the dragon learn his role as Guardian of the Forest. While they're there, they can't help but do a little covert matchmaking for the locals.

This time they've turned their attention to Gwen Dubois, who runs the florist shop in Big Knob. They determine that her perfect soul mate is Marc Chevalier, a Parisian botanist, and magically cause some tropical plants to grow in the forest outside of town. When Gwen goes online to identify them, she gets in touch with Marc, who arranges to visit during a conference to investigate the unusual plants and to meet Gwen. But there's unexpected competition in town as well; a prince of a fairy kingdom who has his own designs on Gwen.

Like Thompson's other books, Casual Hex is racy and laugh-out-loud funny, so even those who read little Romance will appreciate it if they're in the mood for some light fantasy humor. Each book in the series focuses on a different main couple, and the character backstories are filled in as you need to know, so don't let not having read the first two books stop you- although since Casual Hex is still on order, why not read them while you're waiting? Reserve your copy today.
