{"title":"Kate Robb","description":"Kate Robb is the author of This Spells Love and Prime Time Romance. She dated a lot of duds in her twenties (amongst a few gems) all providing excellent fodder to write weird and wild romantic comedies. She lives just outside of Toronto, Canada, where she spends her free time pretending she's not a hockey mom while whispering \"hustle\" under her breath from the bleachers, a Pinot Grigio concealed in her YETI mug. She hates owls, the word \"whilst,\" and wearing shorts and aspires to one day be able to wear four-inch heels again.","products":[{"product_id":"kitty-st-clairs-last-dance-paperback","title":"Kitty St. Clair's Last Dance - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen a young woman is bequeathed a shuttered dance hall, she begins to dream of its heyday--and learns to see her present-day entanglements in a new light.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJules is stunned when eccentric and glamorous retiree Kitty St. Clair passes away and leaves her a dilapidated dance hall in their quaint lakeside community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat is until Reeve, a charming, successful developer, returns to town, looking for the new owner of the dance hall, intent on turning it into luxury vacation condos.
