TINA NEEDS KINDLE-EMERGENCY HELP!!

And in case anyone else has similar Kindle issues, maybe this post will help, ’cause SO MANY came to the rescue!

She says:

“Help!!!! My kindle froze, and after a restart i cant get anything but the kindle logo?? I have googled and tried but no success..it does not open

Anyone?? Its a 7th gen. e-reader.”

Anyone know what she can do?

Colleen: Google how to do a hard reset.

Julie: My Kindle a couple months ago just shut down and would not come on. I got on Amazon and technician there called me on my phone and walked me through restarting it. Mine however was completely fried. (don’t know why) I would try contacting them and have them walk you through a recovery. read more

Reader Question – Looking for book recommendations where the husband rejected his wife, and is now trying to repent…

By 34 Comments

UPDATED: 09-24-19 (new recommendations on this list, PLUS you can find more on lists with similar tropes):

Sonia is looking for recommendations, and I know we’ve read a bunch like these (especially the arranged marriage ones). Let’s see if we can make a new “best of” list. 😀

These are the genres that make me FURIOUS… and yet I can’t out ’em down. Definitely tends towards “bully” anti-heroes.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I hope you could help me out. I’ve already searched goodreads. But came up with reads with hero’s that were so-so cruel not truly cruel. read more

Reader Confession – Who do you cast as the female heroine?

By 9 Comments

Oh YES YES YES!!! MichelleS brought this up today, and of COURSE, the majority of time, if I’m “feeling” the heroine, I almost feel like I BECOME the heroine. It’s me. But then, I thought again… and I realize… not quite. 😉

MichelleS: It’s WEDNESDAY! Can we play WCW? (Woman crush Wednesday). You’ve mentioned your go-to hotties for male roles.

Do you cast yourself as female heroine? If I need a short, smart, sassy Brunette my go-to girl is Anna Kendrick. Love her sassy little self. I guess I could use Maryse too! She’s like a Anna Kendrick too! Ha! Amy can be in all my emotional YAs. But I’m probably picturing her all wrong. read more

Alexa Riley – For Her Series

By Leave a Comment

Each book can be read as a standalone, and this author is known for her super-steamy romance!

Ela: I love her short quick smut reads. I suggest EVERYONE READ ALEXA RILEY SMUT WITH ME THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!

About book #1:

I’ll never forget the way she looked, so confident and sure of herself. I watched her from a distance. She wasn’t ready for me yet. I didn’t approach her and I didn’t disturb her, but I never once took my eyes off her.  
Mallory Sullivan is ready to start her new life. After graduating at the top of her class, she’s landed one of the most coveted internships in the United States. Hard work and determination have gotten her to this moment of living the life she only dreamed of growing up in foster care.
From the start, I knew that she would be my greatest achievement, so the day I let her go, I set down a path for her. A path to me.
She never expected Oz to be the greatest culmination of those dreams. But sometimes fate determines who you fall in love with. Who makes you lose control. Who owns your soul.
And then you realize it wasn’t fate at all…
I’ve wanted to care for and protect her since the first moment I saw her. I’ve constructed everything in our lives so that at the perfect moment, I could have her, could give her the life she deserves. 
The time has come.  read more
