Dear romance readers,

I’m so excited that the release day for When I Fell for You (Precious Moments #2) is finally here. I feel like it took me forever to write this book and if you read my writing update last month, you know why. I can’t wait for you to meet and hopefully fall in love like I did with Reagan and Blake. It’s an Arrington Family spin-off so you’ll catch up with a few of them. I had to do a lot of extra research including a medical procedure, glassblowing, yoga, and salsa dancing. I think some days I watched more salsa and yoga videos on YouTube than I wrote. LOL! But its finally here and I hope you enjoy it!

Sincerely,

Candace

PS. If you’re in the path of Hurricane Harvey, please stay safe. I’ll be praying and thinking about my Texas readers, author friends, and my family members.

Has a wedding planner with a commitment phobia finally found the man to make her fall head over heels in love?

Reagan Richardson loves planning extravagant, classy weddings as the head planner of Precious Moments Events. Though the notion of walking down the aisle has never entered her mind … considering none of her boyfriends have ever lasted long enough thanks to her. However, meeting Dr. Blake Harrison changes all of that in a glance and she finds herself in uncharted territory.

Blake knows all about Reagan’s fear of commitment but that doesn’t stop him from pursuing the ravishing beauty. Breaking down the wall guarding her heart isn’t as easy as he thought but being with Reagan has stirred emotions in him that no other woman ever has. Can he convince her that history isn’t going to repeat itself this time around?

When I Fell for You is on sale for $2.99 for a limited time. The print book will be out on September 15th.

Hi romance readers!

Just a quick note to let you know that When I Fell for You (Precious Moments, book #2) is on pre order and will be released on Thursday, August 24th. Its on sale for $2.99 for a limited time but will go to regular price at $3.99 in September. Below is the blurb, pre order links, and as always chapter one.

If you read Cooking up Love (Arrington Family Series #1) then you met Justin Richardson’s baby sister who was a recent college graduate and working as a wedding planner in Atlanta, Georgia. Its eight years later and she’s now the owner and head planner of Precious Moments Events on St. Simons Island, Georgia. If you remember from Cooking up Love, Justin and Reagan were estranged from their father but now he’s back in their lives but with a request. In the meantime, Reagan has met Blake Harrison who pursues her despite knowing her reasons for not wanting to be in a committed relationship.

Can’t wait for you to read Reagan and Blake’s love story!

Sincerely,

Candace Shaw

Dear Romance Readers!

I hope you’re all well and enjoying your summer. My summer vacation has officially ended. The teacher hubby is back at work and I’m ready for some cool weather!

I know a lot of you have emailed or messaged me on social media about the release date for When I Fell for You. At one point it was supposed to be late 2016 but after writing four books in a row with no in-between break, my brain was tired and I took a much needed two month writing sabbatical. However, when I started writing the book, I hated it, and deleted about 30,000 words but kept a few scenes. If I hated it that means you would’ve hated it as well. Now I’m in love with Reagan Richardson and Blake Harrison’s fun, flirty, sexy romance! It was supposed to be released in April, but was put on hold when my husband and I found out our beloved 12-year old Weimaraner, Muhammad Ali had cancer and only had a few months left to live. So I dropped everything and focused solely on him. If you know me, I love my dog like a child so the news hit really hard. Ali passed away in late May and while we miss him more than we thought was even possible, I know he’s still watching over us as he always did.

I started writing again soon after and sent When I Fell for You to my editor a few days ago. Finally. LOL! I plan on releasing it at the end of August, so the next time I send you an update it will be the release day! Yippie! I can’t wait for you to read Reagan and Blake’s love story. Unlike the first book in the series For the Love of You, which is a novella, (on sale for 99 cents. See the sidebar) When I Fell for You is a full-length novel. You’ll of course catch up with Zaria and Garrett as well as some of the Arringtons. Below is the blurb and the next two covers in the series. I adore them.

Thank you for being wonderful readers and for being patient!

Sincerely,

Candace
