Reader Question – Looking for "Hallmark-like" Christmas book recommendations…

November 29, 2018 By Maryse 2 Comments

YESSSS!! This is a great reader question and perfectly timed, since so many of us are so into the Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movies. Oh I have watched some absolute magnificent ones that stole my heart (that one with that super-hot Christmas ghost that was so ornery?!! *sigh* LOVEDDDDD!!!).

I don’t even care that we already know “how it’s all gonna go”. Done right, they are calming and heartwarming and festive!! It puts me in the right spirit! And Kim is looking for more (but in book form!). read more

Reader Question – The book about a girl that moves in with sisters & falls for their older brother who is in a band.

November 29, 2018 By Maryse 4 Comments

Oooooh it’s a love triangle!!!!! Shani is looking for this one, and I could swear it sounds so much like a recent reader question (so I’m going to search for it and see if they match up!).

In the meantime, Shani asks:

Hi 🙂

I’m looking for a book a read while ago. It was based on a girl that moves in with sisters (possibly twins) and she falls for their older brother who is in a band.

It is a love triangle story for the first book in the series, where her older brothers best friend says that he is in love with her. From memory her brother and brothers best friend come from a military background.
Second series in the book is based on the distance between her and the older brother due to touring which is done to help with establishing the band. read more

In the mood to read something with marital strife & drama? I have a list for that!

November 29, 2018 By Maryse 3 Comments

IN THE MOOD FOR MARITAL STRIFE & DRAMA?

I mean…NOT in real life!!! In BOOKS. Always and only in books. ;)Yep. Some of us can’t resist the drama that comes with trying to hold a marriage together… or the drama of the aftermath. Or all of the details that cause a marriage to go south. It’s the topic of one of my most often requested recommendations lists (in various “romance” forms… divorce, infidelity, arranged marriages… life starting over and so on). read more
