When I found out there was a new novel that featured two urban planners falling in love, you can bet I was all over it: I'm fascinated by urban planning, yet this topic never comes up in fiction! In this short book—just over 100 pages—two professional planners get to know each other by touring homes all over NYC's Uptown. I so enjoy a book that makes me google locations, and this one had me searching for Strivers' Row and Forest Hills Gardens. This was fast and fun, but take note: this book was spicier (that is, more open-door) than I'm typically comfortable with.

Three great books in this fantastic contemporary romance. From the publisher: "Three couples discover love is the best medicine in Ruby Lang's acclaimed medical romance series. Sensuality Level: Sensual."

In this second chance romance, forty-four-year-old Simon and forty-two-year-old Lana haven’t seen each other since they divorced seventeen years ago until they bump into each other at an NYC open house. Both in need of a new place to live, they decide to be platonic roommates on a trial basis so they can afford to live somewhere better. Living in the same place again gives them a chance to see how each other has changed and grown, while they focus on their respective careers (chef and music teacher) and consider whether their chemistry is enough to warrant another shot at love. (Open door.)
