Viking Stove, Dog Groomer Top Summer Romance Novels

Beach Reading for that August Getaway Is Steamier Than Ever

Here is Satirium’s summer romance novel reading list:

Return of the Viking
It was supposed to be a simple kitchen remodeling job, out with the old and in with the new. Then, presto! Amanda and her Wall Street husband would have a new to-die-for kitchen . But no one counted on Hector, the illegal Mexican working as the carpenter’s assistant. Soon enough, Amanda must choose between a life of boring luxury or the excitement of worrying if the next knock on the door could be “La Migra” come to take her true love away.

The Night of the Warthog
Instant love at the supermarket checkout. He was tall, handsome and dashing in his military fatigues. She was lithe, freckled and offered a puckish smile from behind her over-sized sunglasses. But would Carole be able to faithfully wait for Carl, who was headed to Iraq for another tour as a Warthog pilot? And could Carl face constant danger mixed with the tedium of the desert and still love Carole when he returned home, if he returned? And why, really, does Carole spell her name that way?

Foo Foo’s Dance
They met at the veterinarian’s office. Elaine stood holding Foo Foo in her arms. Frankie, the dog groomer, walked up and took the Pomeranian from her and cuddled it in his arms and whispered sweet nothings. At that instant, Elaine had a moment of deja vu all over again and imagined herself being cuddled in Frankie’s arms just like Foo Foo . But could they bridge the social chasm separating a dog groomer and a bank teller? And would Foo Foo be willing to build a new life that included the awful man who gave that bath?
