History’s Greatest Meet-cutes

I’m a sucker for a good love story, true, fictional, fantastical, angsty, swoony, hilarious . . . I love them all. So, I thought it would be really fun to start a new blog series about the greatest meet-cutes in history. I may include some love stories from my family at some point, and if you any of you readers out there have great love stories or meet-cutes of your own I want to hear them. I seriously never, ever get sick of love stories.

Annie Oakley and Frank Butler

The Meet-Cute 1875

Sharpshooter Frank Butler laughed when he saw his competition in a sharpshooting contest was petite Annie Oakley. He didn’t laugh long. Annie Oakley hit the target every single time, and he missed once, losing the contest and his heart. He courted her, and they fell in love and got married.

The Grand Gesture

What makes the story even better is that eventually, Annie became Frank’s partner in his sharp-shooting performances and, when she began to outshine him, he stepped out of the limelight and became her manager. He was a truly supportive and loving husband.

The Happily Ever After

Annie Oakley and Frank Butler were married for fifty years. After she died, he lived only eighteen days without her by his side.

If you love the Wild West, you might love Jude Cassidy and his Wild West Vegas Casino in my book, How to Lasso a Billionaire.

Francesca’s Slumber

Francesca’s Slumber(Book 2 of the Remixed Fairy Tales Series)

Francesca, Frankie, Lewis has always done her best to be polite, to avoid confrontation, and to be agreeable. Her consideration of others, however, sometimes reaches extremes and she often gives up what she wants to keep other people happy. She even pretends her boyfriend isn’t cheating on her, so that she can avoid an ugly scene. But when she walks in on her boyfriend with another girl, she can’t pretend any longer. She punches him and breaks her hand. When she runs out into the cold night, she slips and falls, hitting her head so hard she’s in a coma for three days.

When Frankie wakes up, she sort of hates the person she’s been and wants to change. She enlists her friend, Bell to help her learn how to go after what she wants without hesitation or apology. When she decides she wants Harrison, she does everything she can to win him over. But Harrison won’t be won, because he knows he’s not good enough for Frankie. He’s got a secret that, if revealed, will destroy any affection Frankie ever had for him.

**This is a full-length stand-alone novel, loosely based on Sleeping Beauty, that can be read alone or as part of the series.**

Remington’s Tower

(Book 1 of the Remixed Fairy Tales Series)

Remington McKinney has led a sheltered life. For thirteen years, she’s been homeschooled by her uncle and had only him, her four older cousins, and the mountains of West Virginia for company. She’s almost twenty-one, and she’s finally at college, where she’s free to live and make her own choices, to have friends, and maybe even date. Her cousin, Byron, intends to keep her just as sheltered as she’s ever been. Good thing she’s not afraid of him and not willing to let anyone or anything keep her from experiencing everything good in life.

She’s also not going to let Worthy, a man she’s drawn to and can’t stop thinking about, push her away without pushing back. She’s waited too long for freedom to be scared away by Worthy’s gruff brush-offs. When she decides to date Byron’s fraternity friends, in a misguided effort to her independence, Worthy steps up to be one of her suitors. He has his own reasons to stay away from Remington, but he can’t deny his attraction to her.

Just when she’s starting to enjoy her freedom, the nightmares start. Nightmares she hasn’t had since she was eight, when her father died and her uncle took her in. Nightmares that suggest her childhood wasn’t what she’d always believed, that her father wasn’t the sedate tax accountant her uncle claimed he was. Remington tries to push the nightmares out of her thoughts and focus on her blossoming relationship with Worthy, but when her nightmares start to interfere with her life, Worthy insists they discover the truth about her past. A truth that will change everything Remington believes about herself.

**This is a full-length stand-alone novel, loosely based on Rapunzel, that can be read alone or as part of the series.**
