PRAISE FOR TAWNA FENSKE
THIS TIME AROUND
“Fenske’s newest second-chance love story set in Portland, Oregon, [is] a special blend of comedy and suspense—readers will gladly join [Allie and Jack] on their journey to self-improvement.”
—Publishers Weekly
“This novel’s primary strengths are twofold: First, the reader can’t help but root for Allie, who is realistically flawed and anxious about her own failings . . . Second, the writing is deft and charming, with both characters’ narrative voices wry and self-effacing . . . This is a lovely second-chance romance (with a single-dad hero!) that will appeal to fans of Mary Kay Andrews, Jennifer Crusie, and Victoria Dahl.”
—RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

ABOUT THAT FLING

Heartache and humor go hand in hand in this laugh-out-loud story with an ending that requires a few tissues.”

“Fenske’s wildly inventive plot and wonderfully quirky characters provide the perfect literary antidote to any romance reader’s summer reading doldrums.”

—Booklist
“This delightfully witty debut will have readers laughing out loud.”
—RT Book Reviews, 4½ Stars
“[An] uproarious romantic caper. Great fun from an inventive new writer; highly recommended.”
—Library Journal, Starred Review
“This book was the equivalent of eating whipped cream—sure, it was light and airy, but it is also surprisingly rich.”
—Smart Bitches Trashy Books
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
“Fenske hits all the right humor notes without teetering into the pit of slapstick in her lighthearted book of strippers, psychics, free spirits, and an accountant.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Snappy, endearing dialogue and often hilarious situations unite the couple, and Fenske proves to be a romance author worthy of a loyal following.”
—Booklist, Starred Review
“Fenske’s sophomore effort is another riotous trip down funny-bone lane, with a detour to slightly askew goings on and a quick U-ey to out-of-this-world romance. Readers will be enchanted by this bewitching fable from a wickedly wise author.”
—Library Journal
“Sexually charged dialogue and steamy make-out scenes will keep readers turning the pages.”
—Publishers Weekly
FRISKY BUSINESS
“Up-and-coming romance author Fenske sets up impeccable internal and external conflict and sizzling sexual tension for a poignant love story between two engaging characters, then infuses it with witty dialogue and lively humor. An appealing blend of lighthearted fun and emotional tenderness.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Fenske’s fluffy, frothy novel is a confection made of colorful characters, compromising situations, and cute dogs. This one’s for readers who prefer a tickled funny bone rather than a tale of woe.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Loaded with outrageous euphemisms for the sex act between any type of couple and repeated near-intimate misses, Fenske’s latest is a clever tour de force on finding love despite being your own worst emotional enemy. Sweet and slightly oddball, this title belongs in most romance collections.”
—Library Journal
“Frisky Business has all the ingredients of a sparkling romantic comedy—wickedly clever humor, a quirky cast of characters, and, most of all, the crazy sexy chemistry between the leads.”
—Lauren Blakely, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
