Josey Anderson had dreams of being the perfect wife, and everything seemed to fall into place during her fairytale wedding to Chase. Well, almost everything-there was that hilarious moment when the matron of honor unexpectedly went into labor! But hey, life is full of surprises, and Josey knows how to roll with the punches. Now, Josey sets out to find her dream Cape-style house, conquer her role as a reporter at the Gull Lake, Minnesota paper, and become a baking whiz and sewing extraordinaire. Piece of cake, right? But just when she's settled into the rhythm of her new life, Chase lands a job in Moscow, turning Josey's dreams upside down. Suddenly, the city without year-round hot water, decent takeout, and even maternity clothes becomes her new reality-and it's far from the perfection she envisioned. As Josey grapples with the challenges of her new surroundings, she discovers that being the perfect wife isn't about having a flawless life-it's about embracing the unexpected and finding joy amidst the chaos. Will Josey be able to redefine perfection and find happiness in the most unexpected places? With Susan May Warren's trademark blend of wit and warmth, you'll find yourself laughing, cheering, and maybe even shedding a few happy tears as you follow Josey's hilarious journey of self-discovery. "This heartfelt and humorous novel is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a renewed belief in the power of love, laughter, and happily ever afters." - online reviewer *Previously published in 2007 by Steeple Hill The Josey Series Book 1: Everything's Coming Up Josey Book 2: Chill Out, Josey Book 3: Get Cozy, Josey

A comprehensive guide that defines the literature and the outlines the best-selling genre of all time: romance fiction. More than 2,000 romances are published annually, making it difficult for fans and the librarians who advise them to keep pace with new titles, emerging authors, and constant evolution of this dynamic genre. Fortunately, romance expert and librarian Kristin Ramsdell provides a definitive guide to this fiction genre that serves as an indispensible resource for those interested in it—including fans searching for reading material—as well as for library staff, scholars, and romance writers themselves. This title updates the last edition of Romance Fiction: A Guide to the Genre, published in 1999.While the emphasis is on newer titles, many of the important older classics are retained, keeping the focus of the book on the entire genre, instead of only those titles published during the last decade. Specific changes include new chapters on linked and continuing romances, a new section on "Chick Lit" in the Contemporary Romance chapter, an expansion of coverage on the alternative reality subset. This is THE romance genre guide to have.

"I need you," the tall, good-looking missionary had said...but he'd been speaking to Josey's entire church at the time. Had she taken it too literally? Because she was no longer in Gull Lake, Minnesota. She was a missionary. In Russia. For a year. True, Josey had wanted to skip town when her sister married her ex, and her secret crush/best friend got engaged. But Russia? Yet after a few weeks the idea grew on her. She could speak enough words to buy fruit at the Moscow market, and the missionary role was feeling...right (although her bagel-thieving roommate tested her daily). Even the frosty Russian weather was no big deal for this Minnesota girl — it was getting her love life to thaw that was the real challenge!
