A fun tidbit about Scorpio Men in spirit of Authors Lauren Runow & Jeannine Colette’s zodiac-themed romance series!

October 28, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

In spirit (and celebration) of Lauren Runow & Jeannine Colette’s brand new zodiac series (Falling For the Stars), they have sent me this month’s Zodiac sign for our beloved SCORPIO men!!! AND OH MY THIS IS RIGHT ON!!!!!

It’s so funny because two of the signs that I seem to be surrounded by the most (in all manners, from my closest friends to family members) are Libras (last month’s post) and Scorpios!! YAY TO BOTH SIGNS! I LOVE THEM!

Reader Question – The military romance book where her father was killed but had once treated the Hero…

October 28, 2020 By Maryse 3 Comments

Laura needs our book help! Oh I DO love military romance, but they make me so nervous with worry and a few have broken my heart!! I don’t think I know this one, but maybe you do?

She asks:

Can’t remember the title or authors name.

Ok. So years ago I read a military/love story book.

The book starts with the heroine answering the door to soldiers letting her know her father was KIA, her father was a doctor. He treated the hero.

The hero ends up knowing him and he’s keeping it from the main character. She has brothers and a sister. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book where they meet on a plane in first class and he is afraid to fly and is rude…

October 28, 2020 By Maryse 6 Comments

Heather needs our book help! This one is short and sweet but just enough detail to spark someone’s memory, I’m sure! 🙂

She asks:

Help me find the one where they meet on a plane in first class and he is afraid to fly and is rude and then he turns out to be her boss I think.

I’m sure he manages a famous rock band

Anyone have a guess?

Cindy: Maybe “Fight or Flight” by Samantha Young. 💚

Michelle: Pretty sure it’s Managed by Kristen Callihan. It’s the second book in her VIP series. Great series!!! read more

HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!! 75 new releases on today’s list and a bunch that I highlighted that sound so good!

BLURB JOLTS! Like that one to the left (Roya Carmen’s latest!! The Boss Upstairs – I love a reclusive neighbor, and he lives in the Penthouse above her!! Though it CAN be read as a standalone, he’s actually a main character in her “Ground Rules” series so it will spoil that series if you haven’t read it yet), All the Love in the World (Karina Halle’s collection of novella’s revisiting some of our favorite characters in her series), and The Chateau (Eeeeeep!!! She and her sister are in a labor camp, and her guard is secretly nice to her)!! read more

October 27, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

<— COWBOY ROMANCE LOVERS… REJOICE!!! Looking for a Cowboy (Heart of Texas Book 5) IS LIVE and Donna Grant is sponsoring today’s newsletter! And while we’re celebrating this new release, I thought I’d post the series reading order too! But no worries, they can each be read as a standalone, so you can jump into this latest one right now! 😀

In fact Donna says:

Hey y’all!

I was on Goodreads looking through a few of the early reviews of LOOKING FOR A COWBOY and saw more than a few reviewers mention that this was the first book in the series and I wanted to mention that these can absolutely be read as standalone books. read more

“…Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she’s a woman, and she’s not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn’t matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #mafiaromance

When the heir to one of the States’ most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she’s smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She’ll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold...”

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

“…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...”
