March 18, 2016 By Maryse 82 Comments

Not so many new releases today that have me jolting (I’ll still keep an eye out as they randomly get released), but OMG the Friday bargain finds and reader recommendations are epic! I totally one-clicked that one to the left, and can’t wait to get to it!!

In the meantime, I’m reading book #2 in the Eversea series (Forever, Jack (Eversea #2) <— also super bargain priced) ’cause I LOVED #1 (my review, in case you missed it) and had to continue the series. And yes, I’m loving it too. In fact, even more because it is SO FREAKING INTENSE! read more

Eversea (Eversea #1): A Butler Cove Novel
I backtracked to one of my old TBR lists and finally read this one!! YAY ME!!

It came HIGHLY recommended a few years ago,

Ana: Eversea is lovely, not much steam but just enough and I love the Actor/Famous Rockstars with “normal girl” romances!!

Leene: I really enjoyed Eversea and the sequel. Sweet story, likable characters and the author writes very well!

Michelle: yes I loved Eversea…checked my rating and I gave it 4 stars. The ending is CHish so you kinda need to get the second book to figure out where the story goes. read more

Reader Question – Lisa asks: What are your worst or best miscommunication books?

Ohhhh this is a fun reader question! Kind of a genre-request/recommendation list, too! AND OMG there have been SO many books that have driven me crazy on the “JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER” front… LOL!!!

Lisa asks:

I’ve just been writing up my top ten over the weekend and it made me think about those books that drive you crazy with all the miscommunication and misunderstandings that keep your H/h apart.

If you were the friend in these scenarios…..would you speak up or intervene in some way ???? Thinking of Before We Were Strangers or The Pact or books like that. What do you think people????? read more

Happy Reader Question day!! And I have a few fun ones for us to investigate and guess. 🙂

This first one, I took to our Facebook crew, and it’s still in limbo. Nicole can’t tell if she read the blurb for this one, or if she dreamed it up. LOL! So who knows what kind of book suggestions we can come up with, but I bet they’ll be right up our alley…

She asks:

“Maryse I need help finding a book. I don’t know if the book is real or if I dreamt it up.

Basically what I think is in the blurb is that the main character is depressed cause her crush just married her best friend and now they are expecting twins any day. read more

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Looks like we found a pot o’ gold! Er… I mean… pot o’ books, ’cause the new surprise releases over the last 24 hours (and super-sales) are plentiful! Definitely our version of gold, so let’s celebrate!!

P.S. I’m currently reading one off this list as we speak!! I went back in time to one of my old TBR lists, and started reading Natasha Boyd’s “Eversea” (it’s on super-sale right now) and I’m really enjoying it. I giggled my butt off, over her drunk-dialing, and my heart broke with her at a certain point, too. Good stuff!!! In fact, I’m almost done and should be reviewing today!! 😀 read more
