Reader Question – The YA book about the girl that meets the rock star who’s in hiding…

By Leave a Comment

Linda is looking for this one, and her question is short and sweet and I have NO clue. I’d almost think something from Abbi Glines, but Linda’s publishing timeframe seems like it would be something else altogether (and this was back in the days where I was reading strictly horror and autobiographies).

She asks:

Looking for an old book, 1990s my evening.

Young love, girl meets boy on beach, boy is a rock star in hiding. She’s unaware.

Can’t remember title or author.

Help!

Anyone have a guess?

Sue is looking for this one and it sounds super-sweet just from this description alone. 😀

I love books about single parents, and this one brings to mind one of my absolute 5-star favorites, K.A. Tucker’s “Until It Fades” (though I don’t remember a bed and breakfast in this one). Here’s my 5-STAR book review.

She asks:

Hello Maryse,

You’re followers were helpful last week so I’m hoping for some help this week.

Book is about 4-5 yrs old (give or take).

It’s about a hockey player who for one reason or another ended up staying at a bed and breakfast in Minnesota. (Blizzard, maybe)? A single mother along with her parents run the place. read more

She asks:

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the heroine doctor that checks in on an imprisoned man in an institution.

Janet has two find-the-book questions for us! And in her first one, she’s not sure if she’s mixing up two books, or if both these questions pertain to the book she’s looking for, so hopefully this will spark someone’s memory. 🙂

Okay now, I read a book similar to this one back in my early blogging days. It was kind of a sci-fi book (he was an experiment, super-dangerous and in solitary) and he bonded with a doctor…

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I’ve got 2 questions:

(1) I remember reading about a man who’s been imprisoned and drugged in an institution (mental?). Lady who works there (a doctor?), checks on him regularly, and is attracted to him. Helps him escape the place, went into deep mountains together to look for the wolves that’s like family to the man. read more
