ALL OR NOTHING on sale this week
It’s Shameless Self-Promotion week this week at the Café, so I’m sharing the news about my new release.
This is book #4 in my Coxwell series and is the story of Zach Coxwell, family troublemaker. Zach finally meets a woman who isn’t easily charmed by him, right when he needs something to go right in his life. Here’s the back cover copy:
“Some people will do anything for true love — even if they have to fake it.
Jen Maitland had no use for handsome guys with easy charm — until she met Zach. He’s the perfect fake date to end her mother’s matchmaking scheme before it starts. Besides, he’d probably just use her and leave her like her ex-fiancé did. At least that’s what Jen tells herself. The only problem is that Zach isn’t as predictable as he appears…
Zach Coxwell hates commitment, but loves a challenge. Like the pretty bar waitress who turned him down flat for a date — only to invite him to her family’s Thanksgiving dinner. Zach knows he can make Jen smile — and he’s betting that he can unravel her mysteries — even if he has to do it over candied yams.
A tofu turkey, a sister who threatens to have Zach’s love-child, the untimely appearance of a knitted avocado — and Zach’s discovery of her real motive — combine to turn Thanksgiving dinner into Jen’s worst nightmare. Zach, on the other hand, has the time of his life. And when he makes Jen smile, he finally finds a commitment he’s willing to make…but persuading Jen to believe him will take everything he’s got.”
The early reviews are quite nice – here’s a sampling:
• Roundtable Reviews says: “Only pick up ALL OR NOTHING to read if you are interested in fully fleshed-out, believable characters, crisp plot action, dialogue that has the ring of daily conversation, and a story line that keeps the pages turning. This was my first Claire Cross novel, but it won’t be my last.”
• CoffeeTime Romance has given ALL OR NOTHING a five cup review!
• Fresh Fiction’s review says: “Again, Claire Cross does not disappoint.”
• The Romance Studio gave the book five hearts!
• Bookloons’ review says: “All or Nothing is a brilliant story. . . The book is filled with emotion, humor and a realistic storyline that will warm your heart long after you turn the last page.”

Sounds like a winner, Claire! I can’t wait to read it.
Sounds great! Definitely a must read.
You know I just love that cover, right? Any cover with a dog on it is a great cover!
Hi Claire. Congratulations on All or Nothing. I’m definitely going to be picking it up!! The first book I read of yours was about a year ago, and was Once Upon a Kiss. I was very excited to have found it because friends had recommended it to me, but warned that it was hard to come by
By the way, thanks for your series on Synopsis Building. It’s been a great help, and I’m looking forward to hearing you speak for the Toronto Chapter of the RWA next week.
Thanks Maria and Kim! And yes, Pam, I see you out there, rooting for Roxanne the Bernese Mountain Dog (who is both in the book AND on the cover!)
Thanks Kris. OUAK, pubbed in 1998 and out of print pretty much since then, is definitely hard to come by. I’m glad you enjoyed it. My fave of those TT/Magic books was Love Potion #9. (It was the tarot cards that did it.) I look forward to meeting you in Toronto – bring your questions!

I thought of you and this book last night while cruising through a knitting catalog and studying on the pattern of knitted CUPCAKES. Made me think of Jen and her knitted avocado. LOL.
It sounds so good, Claire! But I love Jen’s shoes even more than the dog!
