At thirty-three, Suzanne Hamilton has no regrets. A successful event planner with a swanky condo in a hot Atlanta neighborhood, she’s got a close group of friends and a list of men a mile long who would happily bend over backwards to win her heart. Plus, she’s just landed the event that will take her career to the next level.

Then a freak accident changes everything. Humiliated, with her career in tatters, Suzanne’s lost her business not to mention her self-respect. She’s managed, however, to retain the surprising support of her newest celebrity client: the sexy country music star, Dylan Burke. Against her better judgment, but without any better offers, Suzanne agrees to plan a wedding for one of the Burke sisters. But when she comes to realize her freak accident was anything but, her catalog of past relationships turns into a list of suspects and Suzanne must question everything―her career, her friendships, and most acutely, her own dating rules.

As it turns out she might have quite a bit to regret after all.

Taking place a few years after the events of The Marriage Pact, M. J. Pullen returns to the same captivating group of lovelorn friends, this time following Suzanne as she discovers that her trusty rules no longer apply. Raising the stakes in Regrets Only, Pullen delivers an absorbing, romantic novel that shows how someone with a “perfect life” can lose it all―and then find everything.

About the Author:

MANDA (M.J.) PULLEN is the author of complex, funny contemporary romances including The Marriage Pact. She was raised in the suburbs of Atlanta by a physicist and a flower child, who taught her that life is tragic and funny, and real love is anything but simple. She has a weakness for sappy movies, craft beer, gossip, and boys who talk baseball. After traveling around Europe and living in cities like Austin and Portland, she returned to Atlanta where she lives with her family.

Review:

Praise for M.J. Pullen's Regrets Only:

“This entertaining blend of comedy and romance―with a healthy dash of suspense―will delight fans of funny women's fiction.” ―Booklist

“Romance abounds in this sexy and modern love story.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“Both protagonists are incredibly likable, though flawed, and together their friendship-fueled chemistry sizzles. Despite the thread of suspense that runs through the plot, the story still manages to convey a tone of warmth. Dylan himself evokes smiles nearly every time he appears on the page, thanks to his wry amusement, and, frankly, his sheer dreaminess. The reminder not to judge a person by assumptions rings true and timely.” ―Romantic Times, four star review

“A deftly written and captivating tale of how our best laid plans often go astray. Just as Suzanne's nearly perfect life falls apart she finds herself on a roller-coaster journey (with a country music star no less!) with surprises both haunting and heartening, leading her to exactly where she was meant to be. Don't miss this sexy and engrossing romp!” ―Cherry Adair, New York Times bestselling author

“M.J. Pullen writes relatable characters who are quirky and fun. I really enjoyed Regrets Only.” ―Susan Hatler, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

“Regrets Only has it all! A sprinkle of romance with a dab mystery. Add a pinch of family dynamics, blend in a few dreams with a dab between the sheets that will cause some blushing. A delightful recipe for a sweet journey. I love this book...it is on my keeper shelf!” ―Fresh Fiction
