Reader Recommendations: Our favorite Tara Sivec books ’cause HOLY MOLY we love her!!!

March 1, 2025 By Maryse Leave a Comment

WE LOVE TARA SIVEC!! And… we had a wonderful “Tara Sivec” day on Wednesday on Facebook, celebrating our huge LOVE for her, her hilarious and/or sometimes super-angsty romance books and her amazingness altogether. She’s one of our OGs from back when indie romance authors took the book world (and my whole happy world) by storm and we couldn’t get enough of her.

And right now, we’re putting the spotlight back on her as she battles cancer, and we’re hoping to bring her books front and center of the limelight where they deserve to be! I’m hoping that all who haven’t discovered her yet, explore her outrageous and fun comedy romance, and dive into some of her emotionally angsty ones, too! read more

Reader Question – The book where her baby was taken from her and she thought it was stillborn…

February 26, 2025 By Maryse 6 Comments

Dilsa needs our book help! Oooooh huge misunderstanding and craziness and drama. Plus… meddling mother-in-laws. I don’t think I’ve read this one but maybe you have?

She asks:

Hiii again!! 🙂

so I’m trying to find this book where the heroine thinks that her baby was stillborn (or maybe she was in jail and knew that the baby was taken from her I’m not sure).

But actually the hero is raising their child and hates the heroine because he thinks the heroine hide the pregnancy from him and put the baby for adoption. read more

Reader Question – The romantic suspense book with brilliant scientist that gets kidnapped & her brother disappeared as well…

February 26, 2025 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Melanie needs our book help! Sounds like a lot of the ex-military security books that are in our weekly roundups!! Hopefully someone here knows this one:

She asks:

RE: Romantic Suspense with Brilliant Scientist

This brilliant woman she and her brother are working on some top secret weapon. The brother disappeared and she hasn’t been able to contact him for some time.

And they break into her lab which is like layers underground so she implements the fail safe she and her brother came up with before. They take her. read more

23 BOOKS ON TODAY'S LIST ---> Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 10-19-2026: www.maryse.net/book-releases/monday-early-bird-book-releases-10-19-2026.html

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?
