It’s reader question day, and while this one was successfully answered on Facebook, I thought I’d share it here ’cause it sounds right up our alley!! 😀

Maryse: I’ve received another reader question (a rock star book) about the lead singer that falls for his bandmate’s little sister. Now this one is somewhat spoiler-y… so read carefully. I will try to break it up with spoiler warnings.

January 6, 2016 By Maryse 12 Comments

Lise has been with us since… holy moly, I’m thinking almost the VERY start (at least of my indie-discovering days). LOL!!! And she has that same love for hardcore, mind-blowing, intense, unconventional love stories, that we do. If Lise loves it, I know I will, too. It’s that simple. 😉

And just take a look at her top five. This one is short and sweet, ’cause she’s uncompromising like that. *snort* 😛 😉

1.) Badger by C.M. McKenna <— “Favorite book I read in 2015… Wow, just wow. Speechless and in awe… Amazing piece of writing! Ms. McKenna is AMAZING and this one (Badger) is phenomenal. Gah… I need my HUG. …I have been loving my most recent 5 star reads but this one is in a league of its own ” read more

Book Review – The Play by Karina Halle

January 6, 2016 By Maryse 5 Comments

I’m a HUGE fan of Karina Halle’s love stories because I’ve always found that no matter what she writes, she plunges into some very deep, unconventional “book” moments. More like… real life moments. And while at first I doubted this sweet, funny story would actually go there”, it totally did. AND I MEAN DID!

Yep, this one proves it! Whether it be horror, or “bad guys” or full-on contemporary romance, there have always been some great-wrenching and/or super-risqué scenes that have absolutely hooked me! read more

Theresa just told me that book #3 in THIS series is now up for pre-order (it’s coming out in just a couple of weeks) and I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED book #1!!! ➜ Here’s my review of “Crazy Good“. Bad-ass, bad-boy military heroes yet the romance is very realistic and angsty and more relatable to me, because we follow the “military wives and girlfriends” that await their men…

Theresa: Ladies if you are not caught up, move it! The last in Set In Stone ripped. me up, like my military and ex- military. These are Seals. Just got goose bumps thinks thinking about them. read more
