Charming as Puck
Summary
The man could charm the panties off a nun.... Nick Murphy. Hockey god. My best friend’s big brother. My friend with mind-blowing benefits. The best thing to happen to my nether regions since my subscription to the toy of the month club. The man I’ve been secretly in love with for years. And a total ass. I am so done with him. Except there’s one small problem. Now that I’ve cut him off, his hockey game is in the toilet. He’s convinced I’m his good luck charm, and he wants me back. But only for his game. I’ll be strong. I will. I’ll resist. Asses don’t change their stripes. Or do they? This plan would be so easy if the man wasn't charming as puck.... Charming as Puck is a romping fun romance between a hockey player and his sister's best friend, complete with farm animals, epic birthday presents, and Berger twin sightings. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends with a pucking awesome happily ever after.

A Home Like Ours
Summary
A Home Like Ours is a timely audiobook exploring prejudice and privilege from best-selling Australian author Fiona Lowe. Tara Hooper is at breaking point. With two young children, a business in a town struggling under an unexpected crime wave and her husband more interested in his cricket team than their marriage, life is a juggling act. Then, when new neighbours arrive and they are exactly the sort of people the town doesn't want or need, things get worse. Life has taught Helen Demetriou two things: being homeless is terrifying and survival means keeping your cards close to your chest. Having clawed back some stability through her involvement in the community garden, she dares to relax. But as she uncovers some shady goings-on in the council, that stability turns to quicksand. For teenage mother Jade Innes, life can be lonely among the judgement of the town and the frequent absences of her boyfriend. A chance encounter draws her into the endangered community garden where she makes friends for the first time. Glimpsing a different way of life is enticing but its demands are terrifying. Does she even deserve to try? Can these women with such differing loyalties unite to save the garden and ultimately stop the town from tearing itself apart?

Guida astrologica per cuori infranti
Summary
Trent'anni passati da un po', single (non per scelta) e con un impiego che offre ben poche prospettive di carriera, Alice Bassi accoglie la notizia del matrimonio del suo indimenticato ex come il proverbiale colpo di grazia. Se non fosse ancora abbastanza, nella piccola rete televisiva per cui lei lavora arriva Davide Nardi. Sguardo magnetico e sorriso indecifrabile, Davide sarebbe il sogno proibito di Alice... peccato sia stato assunto come "tagliatore di teste". Insomma: non ce n'è una che vada per il verso giusto. Ma poi Alice incontra Tio, un attore convinto di conoscere il segreto per avere successo: l'astrologia. Non quella spacciata sui giornali, bensì una "vera" lettura delle stelle, che esistono proprio per segnalarci i giorni più favorevoli per la sfera professionale o per farci trovare l'anima gemella. Seppur scettica, Alice decide di provare e inizia a uscire con uomini compatibili col suo segno zodiacale. Però, stranamente, l'affinità astrale non le impedisce di collezionare incontri sbagliati, fallimenti imbarazzanti e sorprese di cui avrebbe fatto volentieri a meno. Come non impedisce a Davide di diventare sempre più attraente. Tuttavia a lui Alice non osa chiedere di che segno sia. Perché ha paura che la risposta la deluda o, peggio, che la illuda. E perché, in fondo, spera che l'amore non abbia bisogno delle stelle per trovare la sua strada.
