Release day!

Super exciting day today- my new release Waking Up With His Runaway Bride hits the shops in Australia and New Zealand!

It's available from most Warehouse and Whitcoulls stores - or online as an ebook from millsandboon.co.uk




I've been thrilled with the reviews so far- I even managed a ten out of ten out of notoriously difficult to please Rubcale

Here's a sample of some of the reviewer's comments...

"Well defined, easy-to-relate-to characters especially the compellingly sexy Connor and a modern day compelling plot as he and Mim struggle to overcome long standing problems make for an engrossing read." (Rubcale on Mills and Boon website)


"Louisa George brings this exceptional story alive for us on the pages. It is a gripping tale of second chances and past secrets. This story hooked me from the very first page and I wanted to know how it would all end."  

WAKING UP WITH HIS RUNAWAY BRIDE is an emotionally satisfying story which will keep a reader engrossed from the very first page!" (Nas Dean on Mills and Boon website)



Here's the blurb:


Blurb: 

Their make-or-break reunion...
Mim McCarthy needs to focus on saving her clinic—not her insufferable yet outrageously sexy ex Dr Connor Wiseman. He might have grown into those cheekbones, but she knows he won’t have forgiven his runaway fiancĂ©e so easily! Yet it’s impossible to deny the sparks between them – their fights used to be legendary, but their making up might be even more momentous…

Still not sure you want to buy? Even after that introduction?

Well, I have a sneak preview for you if you click on the Waking Up... page above and read an excerpt!

RWA Nationals!

I'm getting very excited as I'm going to my first ever Romance Writers of America National conference next week in Anaheim, Orange County USA!!

I'm also taking part in the Literacy signing- where hundreds of authors sell/sign their books and a portion of the revenue goes to the Proliteracy Worldwide charity.  To find out more about this event, who's attending and who will be signing click here.

I've been to a few romance writing conference before- in Australia and New Zealand, but nothing on such a scale as this. There are over 2000 delegates, so I'm expecting a wall of noise, chaos of dizzying proportions and a good amount of fun.

So, catch up with my news when I'm back- early August!
