My featured author today is the talented, best-selling writer Trish Jensen. Back in the 90’s Trish escaped from the corporate world to begin her career writing fun, high-energy contemporary romances that both readers and reviewers raved about. She’s written for a number of publishers, including Harlequin, Berkley, Dorchester, and Kensington. RT Book Reviews calls her work “charming and delightfully humorous,” and The Romance Reader said that Trish has “a great comic touch and an ear for dialogue.”
I don’t know about you, but with all the stresses that come with this time of year, charming and humorous sounds just about right!
Like many authors with an established career, Trish has some wonderful books that are not as easy to find as they used to be. Fortunately for her readers, those books will soon be re-released by Bell Bridge Books, starting in January with Stuck With You.
Here’s the blurb for Stuck With You:
As lawyers on opposing sides of a messy divorce case, Paige Hart and Ross Bennett ought to have kept matters purely professional, yet Paige and Ross came to loathe each other with an intensity that was strictly personal. The bad blood between them takes on an unexpected new dimension when the infuriated pair is forced to share a hospital room, when they’re quarantined after being exposed to the rare and highly contagious Tibetan Concupiscence Virus that’s reputed to shift sensual desire into high gear.
When symptoms (which a nonmedical person might mistake for pure and simple lust) start showing up way ahead of schedule, the lawyers’ objections to each other are overruled — and they enjoy every minute of it. But, after the doctors declare that the disease has run its course, Paige and Ross are still feverish with a longing for one another that they hope will never be cured. When the verdict comes in, will they be sentenced to life — in love?
OMG! That sounds like so much fun! RT Book Reviews called this book “a fun-filled romantic comedy that will definitely tickle your fancy.” Readers obviously agreed, because this book hit the USA Today bestseller list. Be sure to check Trish’s website for the books that are currently available, and to find out when her other books will be available in digital format.
While you’re there, check out Trish’s holiday round robin novel that she wrote with acclaimed romance authors Sandra Hill and Kate Holmes. It’s called ‘Twas The Night, and it’s funny, poignant, and uplifting—everything a Christmas story should be!
Here’s the blurb for‘Twas The Night:
The three bad-boy bachelors of Snowdon, Maine, have to make it to the church on time, or die trying. Due at a friend’s wedding on Christmas Eve, the Fearsome Threesome find themselves dashing through the snow in the goofiest bus on Earth — a bright red vehicle filled with a bunch of senior citizens known as The Santa Brigade. Ho, ho, ho!
Decked out in red and serving up holiday cheer to the masses, a Blue Angels pilot, a bounty hunter, and a former pro football player discover ’tis the season for folly as each trips over his heart to capture the love of the one special woman for him. And who is to say what they’ll find nestled in their beds as the stockings are stuffed and the gifts placed under the tree.
RT Book Reviews called it “a delightfully funny, charming, and humorous holiday tale,” so you know you’ll want to read this one. Check out Trish’s website for details.
For my readers today, Trish is donating a lovely trade paperback copy of ‘Twas The Night, signed by all three authors. Wow! Since we’re talking about comedic romance, let’s go with a similar topic. What’s your favorite romantic comedy movie, and why? One person who comments will win a copy of Trish’s holiday book.
Toss up between Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail, both with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Sleepless becuz two souls meant to be together have to overcome a fiance that was settled on and the death of who you thought would be the only love of your life. You’ve Got Mail becuz they are protagonists who hate each other, so of course, they have to fall for each other in the end.
Love both those movies, especially You’ve Got Mail. Meg Ryan was the queen of romantic comedy, although Sandra Bullock is great too.
Thanks so much, Vanessa! Just one clarification, though. Stuck With You (and others down the road) is being re-issued by Bell Bridge Books, my favorite publisher EVER. 🙂 They’re amazing.
Hey, can I play? I agree with Sue. Sleepless In Seattle. Also loved When Harry Met Sally, and funny enough, Forrest Gump. Forrest not so much a romance, but his love for his woman is never-ending. And no matter the story, a man who would do anything for the woman he loves will get me every time.
Thanks for the clarification, Trish!
I like When Harry Met Sally, just for the dinner/orgasm scene if nothing else. 😉
A classic, Sharyn!
I like Clueless and Ever After. I know that they aren’t exactly romantic comedies but they are both funny in parts and very romantic in certain parts.
I love x’mas stories btw… Yours sound like a terrific one. 🙂
Oh, I adore Clueless! And I think it’s totally a romantic comedy, May. After all, it has an HEA!
I can watch French Kiss over and over. A hero you hate at first but come to love as she does.
Lovely movie!
Kate & Leopold with Meg Ryan and yummy Hugh Jackman. I loved the time travel aspect.
Oh, yeah. Anything with Hugh!
I love When Harry Met Sally,My Fair Lady,Breakfast At Tiffany’s and the original Sabrina
Oh, gosh! Love the original Sabrina. I have to say, I liked the updated version too. Very different, but sharply funny.
I just watched a good one the other day – ‘The Holiday’ with Kate Winslet. Besides the romance, so sweet with Eli Wallach.
Yes, that was a fun movie, Diane!
I love Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, Kate & Leopold and French Kiss.
All great choices, Robin!
i love sandra hill’s book, can i win it lol
my fan romantic comedy movie is 50 first dates by drew barrymore because this story and i love drew 😉
Elie, that was such a sweet story!
I love all of the ones mentioned, but still truly enjoy the ‘old’ ones like ‘His Girl Friday’, ‘The Philadelphia Story’, “High Society’….
Oh, Cate! I loved those old movies. The Philadelphia Story kills me every time.

French Kiss, While You Were Sleeping, Fools Rush In, The Wedding Singer, Notting Hill, Kate & Leopold and Sweet Home Alabama.
Have a nice day and thank you for the giveaway!
Dalila, you and I are peas in a pod! My absolute favorite romcon is Bringing Up Baby. So incredibly funny!
The Holiday with Kate Winslet, and the reason is for this very line and what she does afterwards:
But I think what I’ve got is something slightly resembling, gumption.
she puts her hands up and lets out this scream.
I can some how feel that emotion from her. I have watched this movie over and over and cried with her. That scene with Jasper always does it to me.
