Books like Expectations by Shannon Waverly

An undercover reporter follows a celebrity into rehab to uncover juicy gossip about her personal life.

Three middle-aged adults spend one summer desperately trying to mend broken relationships and find love for the first time.

Circle of Friends -- May the circle be unbroken. When the original Good Girl falls for the ultimate Bad Boy... CATHRYN McGRATH has a reputation to uphold in Harmony, Massachusetts -- as the perfect wife, homemaker, mother and friend. Until her husband has an affair with another woman, and walks out on Cathryn and their kids... TUCKER LANG has a reputation to overcome in Harmony -- as the town's bad boy, tough guy and all-around rebel. He's been away for years, but reputations like that tend to stick, especially in places like Harmony. He's back now... just in time to catch the pieces of Cathryn McGrath's shattered life. He becomes involved, deeply involved, with her and her kids. And he shows her that there's life after betrayal, love after divorce.

May the circle be unbroken... Christmas. A Time for first love...and second chances. As a girl, Lauren DeStefano fell in love with Cameron Hathaway - the golden boy of Harmony, Massachusetts. A rich man's son. The innocence of that first love was followed by grief and by rejection - and finally, a long slow climb to success. Lauren, now living in Boston, is still close to her circle of Harmony friends - Julia, Cathryn and the others. But she thumbs her nose at the rest of the community...especially when she buys historic Rockland House. She plans to remodel it in time for Christmas - and gets more than she bargained for. More expenses, more problems...more memories. All of which she figures she can handle. But discovering she still has feelings for Cameron... That's something else. Can the past repeat itself - with a different and happier ending? With marriage to Cam, a home on Harmony...a baby?
