NEWS !
New books in the works......
Recent favorites still available.....
This was the first of several single titles I'm writing for Harlequin's
"HQN" imprint. It came out January 2006.
If you haven't seen the HQN imprint in your bookstores yet, I hope
you'll start looking for them. They've been available since June 04.
HQN was created to give readers bigger love stories---romance is
definitely the focus in the books! ---but with extra depth and an edge
to give you a special reading experience.
My first baby for HQN is BLAME IT ON CHOCOLATE.....You can
likely tell from the title that I'm mighty fond of that food group. !
From the rain forest to the lab, there are lots of fascinating things
going on in the creation of chocolate today.....which is my heroine's
job.....that is, until she tests a little too much of her own product and
accidentally ends up tangling with the boss...

(a NeXt book) July 2006
When we're kids, we dream of being all kinds of things when we grow up - from president
of the United States to the scientist who cures cancer, from being an Oscar-winning actress
to being a major trend setter.
Then we grow up. We don't stop dreaming, but we learn some realism, and give up the
dreams that we know are just too impossible.
I'm a believer that good people should get what's coming to them. Maybe the meek and
gentle don't always inherit the earth, but darn it, there should be some payback for all the
people who wake up every morning just trying to be good people, good lovers, good parents,
good friends.
It ticks me off mightily when this doesn't happen.
So I created this story...about two women who'd put on their realistic grown-up lives and
never gave their old dreams another thought. About two women who keep getting put down
for having extraordinarily good hearts. About two women who deserve a lot more than
jewels and gems.
But after I gave them the jewels, I tried to give them something else. Something that
mattered a lot more.
I hope you like this story!
All my best, Jennifer Greene

ROMANTIC TIMES
Marilyn Weiglee
**** HOT
"Greene writes a charming tale of familiar devotion and
gives readers a new, fun-filled spin on romance with the
boy next door. While dialogue from the children's mouths
often seem overly precocious, even for bright kids, the
conversations between adults are realistic. The
viewpoints of the main characters are especially well
written, and the plot leads us from a humorous beginning
to an emotionally satisfying ending."
