April 7, 2025 By Maryse 2 Comments

HAPPY MONDAY AND HAPPY START OF A NEW WEEK!! Welp. Today’s book list is short and sweet, and now it’s time for me to put tomorrow’s list together which I can’t wait to do. I can’t wait to see what I can find!!

Three things:

1.) I’m anxiously/hopefully waiting on rain to finally come through. We have frequent droughts here in FL (as well as “rainy seasons”) and my landscaping and trees would really appreciate a proper rain storm. Please. It’s dark grey outside, Alexa tells me rain will be here like…right now, and last 20 minutes, and still, I wait. Please rain gods. 🙏 It’s not much to ask. Just a nice downpour. Please? read more

J.S. Cooper – The Annoying Hot Bosses Club Series Reading Order

April 6, 2025 By Maryse Leave a Comment

COMEDY ROMANCE & these sounds like soooo much fun. Plus, book #4 (Grumpy Boss of the Year (The Annoying Hot Bosses Club Book 4)) JUST WENT LIVE!!

About book #1

Dear Grumpy Horrible Boss,

You suck as a lawyer. I don’t even know how you passed the bar. Or how you sleep at night taking clients like Jack Whittington.

Just in case you didn’t know, you can’t fire me just because I have a part-time job working bachelor parties. What I do on the weekend is none of your business and not a part of my employment contract. If I want to go back to wearing coconut bikinis and popping out of cakes, I can. read more

April 4, 2025 By Maryse Leave a Comment

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! IT’S FINALLY HERE & IT’S BACK to indulging in all the books!! I finally don’t have any real plans so I’m going to try to kick back and do nothing. Nothing but anything I want to do and I hope I give myself that gift!!

But you know… of course there’s house cleaning, and I did have plans to fix up my landscaping now that our version of Florida winter has passed, but maybe that’s all the “work” I do and we all know how I love to have my hands in the dirt with plants. Sooooo therapeutic and grounding! And satisfying when I step back and stare at how beautiful it all comes together. read more

Christine needs our book help! And holy moly, that last sentence in her question gave me an even bigger gut punch than the cheating part!!! So many of my favorite tropes that I love to hate!!

She asks:

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story? A captivating book trailer can help make that happen. Imagine turning your book into a short, engaging video that brings your story to life, highlights its most intriguing elements, and gives readers a reason to want to know more. A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?
