Reader Question – The book about the famous actor and the normal girl, and the manager’s sabotage…

October 4, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Jan is looking for this one! Okay so it’s been a long while since I’ve read these, but I have two guesses!!

I’m going to guess Tina Reber’s Love Unrehearsed: The Love Series, Book 2. πŸ™‚ Ohhhh the angst in this duet was OFF THE CHARTS… and yet the ultimate fantasy too.

Though this one was from 2012, so it just may be another book altogether?Β Like maybe even (though pregnancy details elude me) Alice Clayton’s “The Redhead” series.

She asks:

Reader Question – The book about the girl from the “wrong side of the tracks” that he broke up with, and now she’s famous…

October 4, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Lori needs our book help! I love it when opposites attract, and this one sounds like it’s got tons of heartbreak gathering into a potential second chance romance! I’m dying to know it too!

She asks:

Need help finding/remembering a book.

A LONG time ago, decades probably, I read a book about a high school girl “from the wrong side of the tracks.”Β  She and the football star fell in love but all his friends hated her, thinking she was using him to get out of her horrible life (no mother, drunk abusive father). read more

SO MANY in our book world are absolutely LOVING this new fantasy romance series by one of our favorite authors, Jennifer L. Armentrout. In fact, by book-twinΒ Tasha J, just devoured the first two books in this series thinking it was a duet and now she’s dying for #3.

And guess what? We just got the title and approx release date news for #3! πŸ™‚ But first… LOOK AT THIS BOOK LOVE!!!

Tasha J: I picked up From Blood and Ash yesterday and red until 4am only to get up for a soccer game at 8. By 1:30 I kept telling myself 10 more minutes, but I couldn’t stop. I now have to start book 2 today but I don’t trust myself to go to bed on time. Can’t start it yet as I decided on a whim to fall-ify my outdoors and start a bunch of crafts I don’t have time for. πŸ˜… read more

LIVE!!!! Touted as today’s Romeo & Juliet and the inspiration of the Netflix series β€œSummertime” and OMG it sounds incredible.

β€œβ€¦It begins with a chance meeting at a traffic light, one that draws a young woman’s attention to the stranger on a motorbike. In that one moment, the fates of Babi Gervasi and Step Mancini are altered.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #starcrossedlovers

Babi, poised on the brink of a predictable future, will risk everything to be with Step. Step, running from his past, will find the one thing missing from his life.

Sharing days on the streets of Rome and nights under a blanket of stars, they belong in each other’s arms...”
