Audrey Lane is perfectly fine. Really. So what if she left her high-powered job as a Very Important Journalist-and her even higher-powered long-term girlfriend-to live a quiet life as a reporter for the second-biggest newspaper in Shropshire? And so what if she keeps hearing that same higher-powered long-term now-ex-girlfriend in her head night and day, constantly judging just how small Audrey's allowed her life to become? She's fine. She's happy. She's perfectly within her groove. Do not-in-their-groove people get weekday drunk and impulsively apply for the UK's most beloved baking show? All right, so maybe she's not completely fine, but being on Bake Expectations is opening her world again in ways she never anticipated. First through fellow contestant Doris, whose personal story of queer love during WW2 captures Audrey's heart, imagination and journalistic interest like nothing has in ages. Then through Jennifer Hallet, the most foul-tempered (and fouler-mouthed) producer, woman, and menace Audrey has ever met.

But freedom does not come without a price, and Viola paid for hers with the loss of her wealth, her title, and her closest companion, Justin de Vere, the Duke of Gracewood. Only when their families reconnect, years after the war, does Viola learn how deep that loss truly was. Shattered without her, Gracewood has retreated so far into grief that Viola barely recognises her old friend in the lonely, brooding man he has become. As Viola strives to bring Gracewood back to himself, fresh desires give new names to old feelings. Feelings that would have been impossible once and may be impossible still, but which Viola cannot deny. Even if they cost her everything, all over again"--Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2397405</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2397405</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2397405163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538753750/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1283899764</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Husband Material]]></title><description><![CDATA[Wanted: One (very real) husband, nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best.

He plays sports, has a solid group of friends, and never had any problem talking to girls. Sure, he spends time playing Heroes of Legend, the biggest MMORPG on the planet, but it's just a fun hobby, not his identity. Falling for someone in a video game? Not his style.Until it is.Enter Kit: witty, kind, razor-sharp, and a healer who's saved Drew's virtual skin more times than he can count. She's also, turns out, a boy in real life.

Kit's reality is leagues apart from Drew's.

It's another rousing success from Hall."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)It is the year 1815, and Mr. John Caesar is determined to help his sister, Mary, successfully navigate the marriage mart. A high-stakes endeavor at the best of times, this task is made slightly more difficult by his family's nontraditional background, the pernicious whims of the ton, and the ever-present complication of living in a world full of scheming fairies and capricious gods. Despite all that, John knows that his parents wish to see his sister comfortably settled. He also knows that the sooner he sees Mary's future secured, the sooner he can get his own wish--returning to an aristocratic life of leisure. And as for Mary? Sweet, sensitive Mary just wishes gentlemen would pay as much attention to her as they do to her younger sister. When Mary's all-too-literal wish puts her squarely in the sights of a malicious fairy godmother, John sets out to save her. This choice throws him into the path of Captain Orestes James--the handsome up-from-the-ranks hero of Wellington's armies--and his ragtag band of misfits. Together, John and the captain will venture into a vicious world of fey bargains and sacrificial magic as they draw ever closer to rescuing Mary--and to each other. While John is no stranger to casual dalliances with soldiers, until now he's never expected one to last--or wanted one to. He and the captain come from different worlds, and even if Orestes feels the same, John knows there's no point in wishing for something more between them. After all, John has learned firsthand that getting what you wish for can be a dangerous thing. . . ]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2449777</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2449777</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2449777163</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593746370/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1459745382</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confounding Oaths]]></title><description><![CDATA["A nobleman must work with a dashing soldier to save his sister from a mystical bargain gone awry in this swoon-worthy romance from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2445759</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2445759</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2445759163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593497586/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1404819518</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something Spectacular]]></title><description><![CDATA["Reluctantly agreeing to help her former flame, Arabella Tarleton woo the famous and flamboyant opera singer Orfeo, Peggy Delancey unexpectedly finds common ground with this celebrated soprano--and an instant connection as they walk the line between friendship, flirtation and something more"--Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2419105</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2419105</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2419105163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781542035286/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1373878576</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[10 Things That Never Happened]]></title><description><![CDATA["Fake amnesia.

All the interpersonal drama of Jane Austen meets all the complex treachery of Greek mythology."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)It is the year 1814, and life for a young lady of good breeding has many difficulties. There are balls to attend, fashions to follow, marriages to consider, and, of course, the tiny complication of existing in a world swarming with fairy spirits, interfering deities, and actual straight-up sorcerers.Miss Maelys Mitchelmore finds her entry into high society hindered by an irritating curse. It begins innocuously enough with her dress slowly unmaking itself over the course of an evening at a high-profile ball, a scandal she narrowly manages to escape.However, as the curse progresses to more fatal proportions, Miss Mitchelmore must seek out aid, even if that means mixing with undesirable company. And there are few less desirable than Lady Georgiana Landrake--a brooding, alluring young woman sardonically nicknamed "the Duke of Annadale"--who may or may not have murdered her own father and brothers to inherit their fortune. If one is to believe the gossip, she might be some kind of malign enchantress. Then again, a malign enchantress might be exactly what Miss Mitchelmore needs.With the Duke's help, Miss Mitchelmore delves into a world of angry gods and vindictive magic, keen to unmask the perpetrator of these otherworldly attacks. But Miss Mitchelmore's reputation is not the only thing at risk in spending time with her new ally. For the reputed witch has her own secrets that may prove dangerous to Miss Mitchelmore's heart--not to mention her life]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2424356</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2424356</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2424356163</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593743157/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1381361154</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glitterland]]></title><description><![CDATA["A deeply emotional romance about heartbreak, hope, and learning to love against all the odds.

Flashy and loud, radiant and full of life, Darian couldn't be more different...and yet he makes Ash laugh, reminding him of what it's like to step beyond the boundaries of his anxiety. But Ash has been living in his own shadow for so long that he can no longer see a way out. Can a man who doesn't trust himself ever trust in happiness? And how can someone who doesn't believe in happiness ever fight for his own?"-- Back cover]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2415448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2415448</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2415448163</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781728265308/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1319083080</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mortal Follies]]></title><description><![CDATA["A young noblewoman must pair up with an alleged witch to ward off a curse in this sapphic romance set 1814"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2424667</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2424667</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2424667163</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593497579/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1381363193</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mortal Follies]]></title><description><![CDATA["A young noblewoman must pair up with an alleged witch to ward off a curse in this sapphic romance set 1814"--Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2421245</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2421245</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2421245163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593497562/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1348866392</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something Fabulous]]></title><description><![CDATA["Valentine Layton, the Duke of Malvern, has twin problems: literally. It was always his father's hope that Valentine would marry Miss Arabella Tarleton. But, unfortunately, too many novels at an impressionable age have caused her to grow up... romantic. So romantic that a marriage of convenience will not do and after Valentine's proposal she flees into the night determined never to set eyes on him again. Arabella's twin brother, Mr. Bonaventure "Bonny" Tarleton, has also grown up... romantic. And fully expects Valentine to ride out after Arabella and prove to her that he's not the cold-hearted cad he seems to be. Despite copious misgivings, Valentine finds himself on a pell-mell chase to Dover with Bonny by his side. Bonny is unreasonable, overdramatic, annoying, and... beautiful? And being with him makes Valentine question everything he thought he knew. About himself. About love. Even about which Tarleton he should be pursuing"--Page 4 of cover]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2386812</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2386812</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2386812163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781542036290/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1281241931</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Lady for A Duke]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Viola Caroll was presumed dead at Waterloo she took the opportunity to live, at last, as herself. But freedom does not come without a price, and Viola paid for hers with the loss of her wealth, her title, and her closest companion, Justin de Vere, the Duke of Gracewood. Only when their families reconnect, years after the war, does Viola learn how deep that loss truly was. Shattered without her, Gracewood has retreated so far into grief that Viola barely recognises her old friend in the lonely, brooding man he has become. As Viola strives to bring Gracewood back to himself, fresh desires give new names to old feelings. Feelings that would have been impossible once and may be impossible still, but which Viola cannot deny. Even if they cost her everything, all over again"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2399803</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2399803</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2399803163</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538753774/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble]]></title><description><![CDATA["To stop his relationship from going sourdough, the least-popular contestant on Britain's favourite baking show must work through his anxiety and fears in order to find happiness. Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster: though he's passionate about his academic career, his severe self-doubt has trapped him in a cycle of indecision-until his roommate enters him in Bake Expectations in hopes of pushing him out of his comfort zone. Paris initially finds success, winning the first week's bake and falling into flirtation with kind, confident Tariq Hassan. But with each week of the competition, Paris is crumbling. Despite the attraction, the differences between him and Tariq keep moving them further and further apart. Paris's desserts and delicacies consistently impress the judges, but his fear of failure keeps spilling over into his baking. And when the show airs, thrusting Paris into the spotlight, the savagery of social media is all his worst anxieties come to life. Paris has always believed that his fears are his just desserts. But as he finds the strength to face his anxieties, he might just realize it's the sweet things in life that he really deserves"--Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2406385</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2406385</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2406385163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538703335/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1348881784</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Murder Most Actual]]></title><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2398771</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2398771</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2398771163</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774536278/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1288341349</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake]]></title><description><![CDATA["Rosaline Palmer is just barely holding her life together.
