April 13, 2020 By Maryse 81 Comments

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend and were still able to keep up with some of your usual traditions (despite everything), or maybe even make new ones? I’d love to hear about it!!

P.S. ALSO STILL ON ➔➔➔ TWO FREE MONTHS KINDLE UNLIMITED DEAL!!! <— If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s your chance. 😲👏👏👏

Three things:

1.) I totally crashed yesterday. I usually make this list on Sunday nights, but I just wanted to read last night (I didn’t have the energy for much – and reading felt cozy), so here I am, starting the list now, early in the morning. However the list is officially late, ’cause I usually have it posted AND complete by now. *sigh* read more

<— INEVITABLE IS LIVE & TOUTED AS A MODERN-DAY ROMEO & JULIETTE (though… don’t automatically expect the same ending). 😉 I love forbidden love stories!!! P.S. This one’s in Kindle Unlimited!!!

Kristen Granata is today’s newsletter sponsor and she’s celebrating her latest FORBIDDEN LOVE ROMANCE and giving away a print copy! 😀

She says:

…my most recent release is Inevitable, a Romeo & Juliet feuding families type of new adult romance. I love writing new adult because there is SO much growth after you graduate high school and go out into the real world. So many life lessons to be learned, so many struggles that we all face. And that’s what I live to write about – how we overcome our problems and come out stronger on the other side. read more

Beth G is looking for this one and I do love grumpy heroes, so I am ALL ears for this one!! And that kitten scene she describes made my heart melt!!!! 😀

She asks:

Hey guys!

Hope you’re not going quarantine crazy yet 🙂

Now, this book’s an old one. I read back in the early-mid 2000s I believe it was the first book my mum told me to read as a kid and started my book addiction.

It’s a dual perspective book between mum and daughter. Mum is dealing with empty nest syndrome after daughter goes to university, gets a job in a bar I think and meets and falls for the grumpy owner. read more

Reader Question – The book about the escort that has a romantic relationship with both of them…

Elisa is looking for this one! Excellent amount of detail, and I have no doubt we’ll find it! It sounds steaming HOT!!!! A few bits of her description had me having some book flashbacks, but I’m pretty sure I haven’t read this one.

It ALMOST sounded like The Reluctant Dom by Tymber Dalton (though she’s not an escort and the wife of one of them). I LOVED IT!!!!! P.S. Here’s my review. This one is NOT to be missed, even if it’s not the right answer. 😀
