Reader Question – The book where he notices that she is wearing a collar and deduces that she’s someone’s submissive…

October 6, 2016 By Maryse 5 Comments

Ooooh I love the sound of this one! A dominant that sees a girl with a collar (in public), and deduces she must be a submissive…

Dara asks:

Hi Maryse!

I am looking for a book where the H is walking along a city waterfront area and he sees the h — she is perhaps an artist.

He notices that she is wearing a collar that probably means she is someone’s submissive, and so he strikes up a conversation with her. He gathers that she is not treated well by her Dominant and he makes a play for her, even though this is considered wrong in their circles. read more

Paisley needs our book help, and this one concerns a dream man. Of course, the reality of him might not be so dreamy, but you’ll see why. 😉

She asks:

i was looking for a book, i think it recently came out but i forgot the name of it…

its about a girl who dreams about her future husband but has never met him before, and these are vivid dreams almost like a memory…

*spoiler alert*

the guy is actually a hired hit man…

please if you the name of the book let me know please read more

Pretty Stolen Dolls
<— WHAT A CRAZY BLURB. This is what a psych-trhiller teaser is made of, and OMG I moved it right up my TBR list to be next in line. I had to find out more!

Amy: “Daddy always told us to be careful.” ~ Pretty Stolen Dolls by Ker Dukey. Um, Maryse? Didn’t you click this one? Yeah, you gotta read it. I can’t say it’s a 5 star (who knows, maybe that will change?) but I am flying through it right now and loving it!”

Yeah. 😀 Amy’s my fellow psych-thriller, intense angst, crazy-twist lover. read more

Melissa Toppen – Crazy Love Trilogy Reading Order

October 5, 2016 By Maryse Leave a Comment

BAD BOY ROMANCE SERIES! Another trilogy that is now complete as of yesterday, and each book can be read as a standalone!

About book #1:

I want him… Unlike I have ever wanted anything before in my entire life.

I knew it from the very moment his eyes met mine; the way my skin burned under his dark gaze. I knew nothing would ever be the same again.

Decklan Taylor isn’t just tempting, he’s dangerous; a storm who destroys everything in his wake. But even as I stand in the path of his force, I can’t turn away. While he may be the very thing that breaks me, he’s also the only thing that has ever made me feel alive. read more

Waiting on a book in a series I’m reading to be released, so I started binge watching, Only Murders in the Building. Loving it!

I'm reading the Lone Wolf Pack Series. I got it on stuff your kindle day

Cruel Paradise by Nicole Fox. I love her books.

Does It Hurt? By HD Carlton so far so good.

I just finished Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert and it was dang adorable. A perfectly charming rom-com.

Just finished Fourth Wing. I loved it, but have to wait for Iron Flame to be released in November

Reading The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis, yes I am loving it

I’m reading MINE TO PROMISE by Natasha Madison! The scene where he finds out he is a daddy!!!

Arc of Fall Into You by J.T. Geissinger.

I'm reading 6 short stories (it's a series) by famous horror writers, such as Joe Hill and Josh Malerman, as we speak. 🙂

Reading "A Werewolf in Manhattan" by Vicki Lewis Thompson. Great read🎀🎀🎀🎀

Sterling Heat, new release by LB Dunbar, can’t go wrong with this Writer ❤️

Just starting The Housemaid. My first Freida McFadden book. A bit out of my normal genre but I’m excited!

So far, so good! ❤️

Imp series- but not loving it - powering through

I’m listening to Hunting Adeline. I am loving it 😍

Just finished “Lessons in Chemistry” and absolutely loved it 🥰 I just found out that Apple TV is making a mini-series out of it and it’s coming out October 13 🎉🎉 So excited !!

Off the Grid by K Bromberg

Stolen By the ORC King by Jasper Thorne on Book Funnel and so far I’m enjoying it.

I’m not loving it. But it’s a series and I had to know what happens in the last book, but I’m pretty much skimming it, which is very sad. 🫣

With this Saturday being National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, I decided to take a break from reading romance books this week and read The Inconvenient Indian By Thomas King

I’ve got a lot going on over here and have been digesting books like it’s my job (spoiler: it’s not). I’ve been listening to Tease Me Once by Willow Winters (finished) and I’ll Kiss You Twice also by Willow Winters (almost done). I don’t love it but I’m making myself finish it. There is way too much internal dialogue - not sure if that’s just this series or typical for this author’s books. I started reading The Brit by Jodi Ellen Malpas but just couldn’t get into it. So I jumped ship and read Fighting Temptation by KC Lynn, which I didn’t love. So, I think I’ll go back and try The Brit again and finish The Skull Crusher series by Penelope Sky that I had been reading earlier this month.

Pure by Jennifer Armentrout

I’m reading Dirty Cillian by Harley Diamond. It’s GOOD!

These were my inbetween books currently while I’m making my way through the throne of glass series

HOLY MOLY J.T. Geissinger FANS (I LOVE HER TOO)!! LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE!!! P.S. Can be read as a standalone. 🙂

HER ONE NIGHT STAND ENDS UP BEING HER COLD, RUTHLESS BOSS!!!

"...In my defense, I had no idea that the gorgeous stranger I hooked up with at my girlfriend's birthday party would turn out to be my new boss. But company policy forbids work relationships, so it’s strictly business from now on.
If only we could stop falling into bed together.
If only he didn’t make me feel things I’ve never felt before.
If only he wasn’t keeping a secret that could destroy us both..."
