Maryse’s Ultimate List of Book Lists!

July 31, 2015 By Maryse 72 Comments

*squeeeee* is right!! All of my (and our!!) book lists, compiled on one page. πŸ˜›

So… what are you in the mood for? β€˜Cause I have a list for that!Β ;)

LOL what a title!!! But it is EXACTLY that. Lately I’ve been contacted (quite frequently in fact), asking where a specific list is, that my fellow readers saw a few weeks ago, and would like to use, but can no longer find. *sigh* I know…

They get lost… in the plethora of blog posts.

Heidi: Please please update your TBR list! This is from last year.

Maryse:Β Hi Heidi! I DO have a new one!!!Β :DΒ Here it is…

Keely:Β I’m not sure if I justΒ can’tΒ findΒ it, but do you have a favorites list for your favorite all time series? read more

20 of the Latest Bargain e-Books & Reader Recommendations – July 31st 2015

July 31, 2015 By Maryse 237 Comments

<— Look what was just released today (from one of my “old-school paranormal” favorite series days). This was my first choice to suggest as a “What to read if you love the BDB…” had a similar feel, and had me swooning in all that alpha-vampire romance angst. Human women, with a “mark” that (unbeknownst to her) meant she was meant for one of these vamps. And this is the latest one!

What I’m currently reading? I have NO idea yet… I’m feeling all thriller-like, and there’s one below that has sparked my interest BIG time. I was still recovering from my latest much-loved read (p.s. here’s my review ofΒ Rush by Emma Scott), but I’m now ready to move on!! But consider this MY own personal recommendation today! πŸ˜€ read more

Book Review – Rush by Emma Scott

July 30, 2015 By Maryse 13 Comments

RUSH (City Lights: New York City Book 3)
This one was just what the reader ordered!!! The pacing and the detail was such, that I felt as if I was living through her eyes (yet not bogged down with it). And OMG!!! I think this is the first book that has ever had me sobbing for joy… wonderful, relieving, exquisite, pure and unadulterated joy! I thank you Jillian for adamantly recommending it!

Check out my “reaction-video” while I was reading “Rush”.

Jillian:Β Rush by Emma Scott is a must read!! Perfectly written and paced. Angry, bitter blind man and his personal assistant, a violinist who has been through heartache herself, struggle to accept their fates and ultimately their love for one another. I know it sounds depressing. But it’s real and beautiful and unique. Five plus stars! read more

Reader Question – The book where he’s a famous actor, there is a big age difference and every one thinks she’s a gold digger.

July 30, 2015 By Maryse 7 Comments

Guess the book time! Arlene has a reader question and maybe you can help… She asks:

“I was hoping that you or your reader friends might be able to help me. I am looking for a book and CANNOT find it. I only know the blurb or part of the blurb of the first book. I know there is a second book coming out.

I think he is a famous actor and there is a big age difference. I also know that the book is about their relationship in the public eye and every one thinking she is a goldΒ digger.

Well, I really hope you can help me. I just have to read this book. read more
