It’s 2012 already! Where did 2011 go? I was so busy, I barely noticed the months passing…

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season, and that 2012 is a fantastic year for all of us.

I finished off the year with a 2-week holiday in Puerto Vallarta, where I loved the sunshine, warmth, and gorgeous flowers – not to mention the very welcome opportunity to laze and read! – but unfortunately I managed to get sick. I think I’d pushed myself so hard all year that when I finally slowed down, my body quit on me. Anyhow, I’ve pretty much kicked the bug and my big resolution for 2012 is to live a healthier, more balanced life. There, I’ve put it in writing, with witnesses! Now I just have to make it happen, day by day.

Yours, Unexpectedly, my December Brava, Merilee and Matt’s wild ride to love takes place on a Mexican Riviera cruise, and PV is one of the places they visit – so, I’ve added some PV photos to the “Behind the Scenes” page for that book.

I did manage to make it into some stores to sign Yours, Unexpectedly. It was lovely to find that most stores had at least half a dozen copies, and they were face out on the shelves. How well I remember the years when I yearned for the day I’d see my books on bookstore shelves, and believe me, I never get tired of it.

I was thrilled to get some lovely reviews for Yours, Unexpectedly, including a Top Pick at The Romance Reviews (thanks, Shana!) and five stars at Sensual Reads (thanks, Amelia!). I’ve included excerpts and links to the full reviews on the “Praise” page for the book.

Well, that’s it from me for now – except to wish everyone all the best for 2012.

Yours, Unexpectedly

Yours, Unexpectedly

What happens when the runaway bride finds that her discarded groom has come along for the honeymoon cruise?

Merilee Fallon has been planning her wedding to Matt Townsend since she was seven. But, two days before the big day, she has a serious case of cold feet. She shocks both Matt and herself—and calls off the wedding. Needing a total change of scene, Merilee decides not to let their non-refundable Mexican Riviera cruise go to waste—not realizing Matt has the very same idea. Can they be friends? Will they find new lovers? Or will they discover that sometimes there’s nothing more arousing than a second chance at first love—especially on a cruise ship where there are no rules and anything goes…

This is the fourth book in Susan’s sexy “planes, trains, automobiles, and a cruise ship” Wild Ride to Love series featuring the four Fallon sisters.

Why would you ever want to go home again, when the entire town treated you like trash? Yet Charlie Coltrane has to return to Whistler this Christmas and supervise renovations on her aunt's B&B if she's to inherit the money to open her own tattoo parlor in Toronto. What a surprise that the contractor in charge of the renos is LJ Jacoby, high school geek transformed into the town's hottest bachelor. LJ let Charlie get away once, and he won't make the same mistake twice.

In charge of her first exotic destination wedding, sex is the last thing on widowed wedding planner Gwen Austin’s mind. But Santos Michaelides might be the perfect man to help her rediscover herself as a single, sensual woman.
