Release Day: October 20, 2014
Synopsis:
Twenty-eight year old Coco Thomas knows
the recipe for disaster:
1) Agree to plan last-minute engagement blowout for spoiled Mafia princess before you realize her choice of caterer is Nick Lupo, a despicably gorgeous young chef with a hot new restaurant in town, a reality TV show victory, and a romantic past with you—one that did not end well.
2) Strike a deal with Nick in which you agree to spend a weekend with him in exchange for his services, under the strict conditions there will be no talking about the past, no second chances, and definitely no sex.
3) Violate all three conditions within 24 hours and spend two glorious days remembering what made you fall for the sexy, egotistical bastard in the first place, and why it hurt so much when he broke your heart.
Add one road trip, plenty of good scotch, and endless spoonfuls of chocolate cake batter drizzled over your body and licked off inch by oh-my-God-yes-right-there inch, then just admit it.
You’re totally FORKED.

Title: Frenched (Frenched Series Book #1)
Author: Melanie Harlow
Genre: NA, Contemporary Romance, Humor
Synopsis:
When Tucker Branch, playboy heir to
Branch Bolt and Screw, screws and bolts a week before their wedding, Mia Devine
wants nothing more than to crawl under her newly monogrammed sheets and plan a
funeral for her dignity. But her friends convince her that bitter tastes better
when it’s drowned in Bordeaux, so Mia grits her teeth and packs her bags,
determined to make the best of her luxurious Paris honeymoon—alone.
She never planned on meeting Lucas Fournier.
The easygoing bartender’s scruffy good looks and less-than-sympathetic ear annoy her at first, but when she takes him up on his offer to show her around the city, she discovers that the romance of Paris isn’t just a myth.
Nor is the simultaneous O.
The last thing Mia needs is another doomed love affair, but since she only has a week, she figures she might as well enjoy la vie en O with Lucas while she can. But each day—and night—with Lucas is better than the last, and suddenly her heart is telling her this is more than a rebound fling.
Is it just the seduction of Paris…or could this be the real thing?

Mia
Devine fell hard for Lucas Fournier after their magical week in Paris. But
eight months later, the free-spirited half-French musician still hasn't made

INTERVIEW WITH MELANIE HARLOW
Describe
Coco in one sentence.
Coco
is impulsive, feisty, loyal, lovely, and fun—definitely a girl with a healthy
appetite.
Describe
Nick in one sentence.
Nick
is gorgeous, talented, confident, charming, and generous—everything you DON’T
want your ex-boyfriend to be.
Favorite
and least favorite scene to write in Forked?
I
loved writing the scene where they see each other again for the first time
after seven years. Their attraction and chemistry was still there, despite
their rocky past. My least favorite scene was probably the gut-wrenching scene
in the lake where she finally asks him for the truth about why he left her.
Forked is a sexy romantic comedy so the tone is mostly light throughout, but
for that scene, I had to get a little angsty.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Drinking
wine and eating chocolate in bed while reading sexy novels. I have spilled a
lot of red wine doing this because I can’t tear my eyes from my book as I reach
for the glass!
If you
weren’t
an author what would you be doing right now?
Working
on choreography—I’m also a dance teacher and studio manager.
What do you
consider your greatest achievement?
Managing
to publish novels and maintain a pretty full-time job while keeping my kids fed
and watered. Some days, it is utterly overwhelming.
If you
could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Hmm.
How about young Gene Kelly? I’d like to dance with him.
What is
your go to snack food when writing?
COFFEE.
That’s it.
If you
could sit down face to face with any of your characters, who would you choose
and why?
Joey
from the Speak Easy series. I’d like to sit on his lap.
What are
the top 3 things on your bucket list?
Visit
Egypt (also Morocco and Greece—is that cheating?)
Take
Italian classes.
See
my books in a book store.
If you
could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I
love where I live, but I often fantasize about having a cabin in the country
all to myself. But it would have to be near a lake, because I love lakes. I’m
outgoing in many ways, but I really enjoy solitude as well. I also think a
little apartment on the Left Bank would be lovely!
Favorite
Word and Least Favorite Word?
I
often joke that my favorite word is yes because I have trouble saying no to
people. But I word I really love is cathedral. I just think it’s beautiful.
Least favorite…honestly, probably cunt when used as a name-calling insult.
Biggest
fear?
Failing
as a parent.
Deepest
regret?
Waiting
so long to start writing seriously.
Favorite
memory?
Wow,
that’s a hard one, but I have really wonderful childhood memories of visiting
my grandparents’ cottage on Lake Huron with my family.
Worst flaw?
Impatience.
But I kick myself for being too trusting/naive a lot too.
Most
annoying pet peeve?
When
I’m trying to write and people stop by unannounced. Or when I’m writing a love
scene and I hear “MOMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!”
If you
could change one thing about yoursef…what would it be?
Oh
dear. Well, I wish I were a better person all the way around, but in terms of
being an author, I wish I wrote faster.
