Following my heart, one book at a time...

Reader Question – The book about the guy that decides on who to give a rose, to “jumpstart” her popularity.

By 8 Comments

Mharis needs our book help! Older YA and dark romance lovers… I bet you’ll know this one!! I definitely have not read it yet…

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

I’ve read this book and I can’t remember the title.

All I can remember was they were highschool students and a guy decides on who to give this rose to “jumpstart” her popularity. If I remember correctly, the guys have sex with whomever the rose is given to. The hero is an athlete, soccer I think. It’s dark and angsty.

That’s it. I can’t remember the title. I’m into teen angst right now and I want to revisit that book again.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone have a guess?

Mary Ann: I hope someone guess it because I like the sound of it…

Lyndsay: Try Filthy Rich Boys: A High School Bully Romance (Rich Boys of Burberry Prep Book 1) by c m stunich .. I read this last month pretty sure it’s the one.

Diane: It sounds like Sweet Sixteen by Brenda Rothert.

Jennifer: Yep…this one. I read it a month ago.

Ashley: Yep! This is it!

Nikki: I think it is Untouchable: A Bully Romance by Sam Mariano, he plays Football it was awesome and angsty!

Liz: I think I finally know one Binding 13: A Rugby Sports Romance (Boys of Tommen #1) Chloe Walsh boys of tommen series

Reader Question – The book about the husband that died either in an overseas mission or sky diving…

Lindsee needs help finding a book! Okay so it’s just the blurb she remembers but the blurb has a twist, so I went ahead and spoiler-alerted. This sounds awesome!!!

She asks:

Hi Maryse.

I was wondering if you could help me figure out this book.

I remember the blurb says the heroines husband dies either overseas mission in the military or he died doing something extreme like sky diving.

But a couple of years later she finds out not only that he lived but doesn’t remember his former life due to amnesia.

Anyone have a guess?

Reader Questions – The book about the reclusive hero living on a beach…

By 3 Comments

Amy has one for us! I think I read this one, only just a few months ago. Two actually, are coming to mind (similar genres, reclusive men, destruction or upset over creations), but one is in the mountains/woods, and the other is her parents beach rentals.

She asks:

I have over 2,000 books and can’t remember the title of a recluse where the girl goes to stay at a house in the beach and after watching the H salivate but she becomes intrigued.

Eventually she gets under his skin and get together,

*spoiler alert*

then he assumed she did something to betray him, i think he thinks she told people about him, i can’t remember,

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

but I think she may even get sick at the cottage too, i honestly can’t remember.

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

For some reason a painting is involved? I think the Hero destroys it in anger?

I want to read it again.

Any ideas?

So here are both of my guesses (and both were AWESOME!!!!) by two of my favorite authors ever! 😀 !!!

First guess (and I’m thinking this is the one): Someone Else’s Ocean by Kate Stewart (and here’s my review)

Second guess: Tragic (Lark Cove Book 3) by Devney Perry (and here’s my review) and it can be read as a standalone.

Anyone else have a guess?

Amy: I love those two books, but that’s not it. I also remember the h cabin was her girlfriend’s. I also remember there being a book written maybe? That’s why H was upset???

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

I also think at the end she is pregnant and gets sick and he didn’t know because he refused to speak to her…. I know the H had a dog too.  It took a while for the h to get the H to open up… I’m dying!  I need to read it again!

Reader Question – The book where they meet at a barbecue, but he’s in the military and leaving soon…

By 4 Comments

Cassandra is looking for this one. Her questions is short and sweet, but maybe it’s enough to spark your memory?

For me, it made me think of a book I read a few years ago that I LOVED like crazy called Crazy Good. HOLY MOLY WAS IT EVER!!! Although I can’t remember the details in regards to an MC, but I remember they met when he was about to be deployed.

But, it’s probably not the book she’s looking for (though I must insist you read it!!).

She asks:

Help finding a book.

I remember  it starts out with the H guy and his friend meeting H girl and her friend at supermarket. They invite them to a barbecue.

The H guy is in the military and is leaving in a couple of days.

I believe it also has a motorcycle club.

Anyone have a guess?

Daisy: I read that book ! I can’t remember the name of it for the life of me though 🙁

Joy: I have to go through my kindle because I read this book. I think its definitely a Scott Hildreth MC. It was soooo good! I’ll get back to you shortly!

Joy: It’s HUNG (Selected Sinners MC Romance Book 4) by Scott Hildreth and its book 4 in the Selected Sinners MC Series. They met in the market (his name is Biscuit) and somehow, he ended up inviting her and a friend to a cookout later that evening and she goes. Her dad’s a police officer that dislikes Biscuit’s MC. Its a really good story. He was returning to Afghanistan in a few days. I can’t say more because of spoilers.

Reader Question – The book about the heroine that purposely got on a sex trafficking boat to find her friend…

By 3 Comments

Mercedes needs our book help!! It’s fully loaded in detail and sounds quite tumultuous, so I “spoiler-alerted” along the way. 😉

I’ve been looking for the title of a book for over 8 months and she said you were good at finding out and directed me this way

Omg yay I hope you can find it!

Here are the details.

1. This was a series maybe or just a long book. She went to a different country got on a boat that is known for highest bidder and sex trafficking. She is in the search for her best friend who she thinks went to the boatas a journalist.

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

H has known her forever sees her and buys her and humiliates her so she can get scared. The H is best friends with h’s brother and they went to college together. H is part of an terrorist or trafficking family middle eastern. His brother is the first born and ruler of a country.

The brother of H has him set up to take the fall.

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

Together they uncover the truth and bring the brother to justice.Best scene is the last scene where she goes to a party and he’s there and has decided to stay away. She brings the cash he paid her and starts throwing at him to pay for him.

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

After the fact they work for FBI and help other trafficking victims come home. The friend is rescued but she has a hard time adjusting to life. The h’s mom wants her to be the perfect socialite woman,but she doesn’t want this.

Um… let’s see the H is a diplomat and looks a lot likethe brother who is doing all the trafficking and that’s why the H was chosen to take the fall. I also remember that when you get off the boat reporters are all there to see what couple came.from the boat and everyone knows what kind of happens there.

Anyone have a guess?

Joy: I read this!!!! I’m so stumped right now, about the name or author. I’ll search my Kindle and get back yo you.

Pixie: Omg I hope you find it!!!
