Breakfast in Bed by Robin Kaye, Book #3 in the Domestic God series
Release Date: December 1, 2009 or January 2010?
Rich, the epitome of “anti-domestic,” can’t cook to save his life, and his idea of cleaning his apartment is to invite his mother over. But he’s ready to settle down, and he can’t stop thinking about the ex-girlfriend who got away. When he notices that his soon-to-be-married friends cooked and cleaned their way into their women’s hearts, he asks his friend Becca to help transform him into a nurturing man to win back his ex.
Rich is the only guy who’s taken the time to know Becca for herself. She decides she’ll give him the makeover he’s asking for, though she’ll be damned if she’s going to turn him into a domestic god for another woman. She wants Rich for herself, but how can she convince him that her kitchen and her bedroom are the only domestic locales he desires?
I’ve been at three different Borders bookstores within the past 2 weeks and none of the stores have Breakfast in Bed in stock. One clerk told me that their system shows BiB was listed to be released December 1, 2009 and their store have orders out for the book since mid-November but none has showed up and they don’t know why.
Amazon’s website indicates that Breakfast in Bed will be in stock December 16, 2009. I checked author Robin Kaye’s website and the release date now show January, 2010. What’s going on? I could not locate information on Ms. Kaye’s website indicating a release date change.
I know, a release date change isn’t that big a deal but I had to rant because BiB was one book out of a very few lately that I really want to read. Lol.
By the way, it appears BiB has a new cover. I think I like the previous cover more though. While the new cover of BiB is more bold and eye-catching, the lighter coloring on the previous cover was more similar to the other cover novels in the series. I’m assuming since the cover of Romeo, Rome (Domestic God book #2) already show a guy carrying a tray of food, keeping the original cover of BiB would make the covers too similar and repetitive.
Does anyone have better news to share about the release date?

Hi~
I’m sorry about the delay in the release. Here’s the whole story right from the author’s mouth.
The cover of Breakfast in Bed did change, but only because it was too similar to Romeo, Romeo’s cover. It isn’t a problem other than the old cover is still floating around the internet.
The reason Breakfast in Bed is late hitting the shelves is a problem that began when the book hit the warehouse. The person responsible for inspecting the shipment took a copy of Breakfast in Bed out of the box and noticed that the red foil stuck more to his hands than the book. Unfortunately, the problem was not with just a couple of boxes. Every book was shedding pretty red foil, and while festive, it certainly wasn’t optimum. The entire shipment had to be reprinted.
The new shipment arrived in the warehouse December 2. I’m told that the best case scenario is that the books will hit the shelves three weeks after that date. So keep an eye out for Breakfast in Bed somewhere around the 23rd. Just in time for Christmas.
The good news is that the reviews have been spectacular and my blog tour has been rescheduled for later this month and January. Check my web site’s calendar http://www.RobinKayeWrites.com for a list. I’ll be giving away a copy of Breakfast in Bed to a lucky commenter on every blog.
Thank you so much for your interest in Breakfast in Bed and I’m sorry you’ve been searching for it. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions or just want to say hi at Robin@RobinKayeWrites.com.

Isn’t Robin a sweetheart? I’m so wanting to read this. Her other 2 books were laugh out loud funny.

I just got my author copies! And let me tell you, they’re beautiful. Looks like I’ll be sleeping with a book under my pillow tonight. Okay, I’m a little touched. It’s something I’ve done since I the day I got my first ARC (advanced readers copy).

I guess it is. Whether it’s good luck is still open for debate. There is something something special about sticking your hand under your pillow, finding a book, and knowing it has your name on the cover that’s hard to beat.
I hope you enjoy it. I checked amazon today and was thrilled to see I received a five-star review. I hope there will be many more. Let me know what you think.
