{"product_id":"2940158298899","title":"While You Were Stranded (Chick Flick Clique Romantic Comedy #5)","description":"PG-RATED FUN by USA Today and Amazon bestselling author Heather Horrocks. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is #5 of the popular Chick Flick Clique series set in the close-knit community of Aspen Grove, California. Each are stand-alone books that may be read in any order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHILE YOU WERE STRANDED\u003cbr\u003eGrace Holden is on her way up the coast when she runs into two obstacles -- a snowstorm that sends her car sliding off the road and a little white lie that turns her life upside down.\u003cbr\u003eMechanic Ethan Peterson drives her to Candy's Café, where they run into his on-again\/off-again fiancée and he impulsively claims that Grace is his date. Between his lie and her mother's ring on her left hand, rumors abound. He begs her to pretend to be engaged, just until her car is repaired, to help him win back his girl by making her jealous.\u003cbr\u003eMayor Jake Taylor -- Lindsey's brother -- is struggling to know what to do with Grace. Should he run her out of town for stealing his sister's fiancé? Or kiss her and make her his own?\u003cbr\u003eEthan and Lindsey continue to do what they do best -- fight! Will they be able to kiss and make up this time? Or is it finally over for this volatile couple?\u003cbr\u003eWith friends filling the void in Grace's heart, Aspen Grove is beginning to feel like the home she wants, but will her part in the deception cost her the goodwill -- and perhaps even the love -- of the people she's come to care about most?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book has been a long time coming. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor's Note: This book was originally plotted to be the first book in the Chick Flick Clique romantic comedy series set in Aspen Grove, California, kicking off the series with this woman who didn't live in Aspen Grove becoming enchanted with the town (and its mayor). But life, like books, takes twists and turns: another book seemed like a better introduction to the town (Pride and Precipitation), two more books got revised into the series (Regally Blonde and My Spare Lady), and then Fifty Shades of Greystoke jumped out and demanded to be written right now. \u003cbr\u003eSo, finally, it's Grace Holden's turn in book #5. I actually think her story is better now because my readers are so familiar with Lindsey and Ethan's on-again\/off-again romance and with the other characters in town. \u003cbr\u003eI hope you agree and that you think it was worth the wait. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOTHER FEATURES: Professionally edited. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOTHER FUNNY STAND-ALONE BOOKS BY HEATHER HORROCKS (BY SERIES)\u003cbr\u003eChristmas Street ~ Bah, Humbug!, Kissing Santa, The Naughty List, Love on Christmas Street (#1, 2, \u0026amp; 3), Deck the Malls\u003cbr\u003eChick Flick Clique ~ Pride and Precipitation,  A Hound Dog Named Elvis, Regally Blonde, A Pink Dog Named Fluffy (formerly titled Puppy Love), My Spare Lady, Movie Night at Candy's Cafe (#1, 2, \u0026amp; 3), A Bulldog Named Desire, Fifty Shades of Greystoke, While You Were Stranded (2016)\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Mail-Order Bride ~ Violet: Bride of North Dakota\u003cbr\u003eWho-Dun-Him Inn ~ Snowed Inn, Inn the Doghouse, Inn the Family Way, Laugh Yourself to Death at the Who-Dun-Him Inn (#1, 2, \u0026amp; 3), The Czech's Inn the Mail #4 (2016)\u003cbr\u003eBad Mothers Club ~ Murder is Misunderstood #1\u003cbr\u003eInspirational ~ Women Who Knew series\u003cbr\u003eI Am Able Fables written as Amelia Reid ~ Suzie Q-That-Stands-for-Wonderful\u003cbr\u003eRomantic Suspense written as McKenna Bond ~ Old Money, No Sudden Moves\u003cbr\u003eOthers ~ How to Stuff a Wild Zucchini, Old Maid of Honor, Baby Mine \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEW OF BAH, HUMBUG (Christmas Street Romantic Comedy Christmas Novella #1): \u003cbr\u003e\"This isn't a book; it's magic. What could be a sappy Christmas story turns into a wonderful, magical, bring-the-family-together Christmas story. I wasn't merely reading Lexi and Kyle's story, I was there with them, being part of their story. I came up for breath only when I was done with the book (I read it at one sitting). I've never given 5 stars to any book. But this is such a wonderful, heartwarming read that I felt compelled to.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTO SIGN UP FOR HEATHER'S NEW RELEASES NEWSLETTER AND RECEIVE A FREE STORY, GO TO www.BooksByHeatherHorrocks.com.","brand":"Word Garden Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123053805808,"sku":"2940158298899","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158298899_p0.jpg?v=1764110439","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158298899","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
