Loser? Or Lunatic?

Kiki Villanueva holds a master's degree from UCLA, is the best second grade teacher ever, and believes she had a psychic dream when she was 13 in which she was given a list of her future husband's attributes. Children are her life, and Kiki has good reason to think she may not have any if she doesn't marry soon. Since typical dating methods haven't been working out, she decides that when she goes back to L.A. for the summer, she'll start using the list to sort through potential candidates.

When jaded political journalist Mark Bennett confesses to his doctor he no longer finds women or anything else exciting, Dr. Chuck is worried he's depressed and suggests a change of pace. Mark agrees to write a fluff piece for a magazine about people who join high-priced dating services. (His premise is: Losers or Lunatics?) The dating service introduces him to Kiki, and he's charmed by her open, passionate nature, not to mention her big, brown do me eyes, though she definitely belongs in the lunatic category with that psychic stuff. Mark is a confirmed bachelor from a family where no one says the L-word. However, while accompanying warm, sexy Kiki on her match-making service dates for his story, he soon wonders why he's literally driving her to the arms of other men. If he could only get her to forget her list, and everything he said when they first met - oh, and the fact that he's been a complete jackass.

But Kiki's not about to waste time on an emotionally challenged cynic who's definitely not on her list, even if he is handsome, and funny, and sexy. Uh-oh!

(For cousin Chris's love story, and what happens to Kiki and Mark afterward, be sure to listen to Always Dreaming of You, the sequel to Not Dreaming of You.)

Not Dreaming of You: A Romantic Comedy

Always Dreaming of You, sequel to the award-winning novel Not Dreaming of You:

Elle (Lilliana Brigitte) Lorrence has one goal: To escape her powerful, controlling mother's world of paparazzi, entourages, and plastic-surgeried cyborgs. So far, it’s been harder than she thought. But if she can only pretend to be an actress for this one little independent film, the paycheck will enable her to set her escape plans in motion.

Meanwhile, tragedy has struck the Carson-Villanueva family. All Chris can do is keep busy and hope the crippling feeling of loss will fade, until an encounter in a parking lot with a striking young woman injects him with optimism. But when she hands him twenty dollars for helping her and drives off without giving her name, he's disappointed...and a little insulted.

When Chris meets his new movie dialect coaching client, she turns out to be Elle, the young woman from the parking lot. She’s nearly irresistible, but he has no desire to get mixed up with an actress and live a Hollyweird lifestyle. And after her bizarre reaction to an incident at the diner, he knows he’d better do his job and get far away before he’s sucked in by her allure. Unfortunately, he's still mesmerized by her angel-kitten eyes and can't resist calling her "Lily."

Every fiber of Elle’s being tells her Cristóval Cesar Carson is the embodiment of the faceless man from her dreams. But are the hurdles she must overcome to possess him insurmountable?

(Readers of Book 1, Not Dreaming of You, will also find out what happens with Kiki and Mark’s baby story in Always Dreaming of You.)
