READER RECOMMENDATIONS & BARGAIN FINDS:
- Dark Legacy: The Complete Series by Jaymin Eve & Tate James <— BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! MUCH LOVED BULLY SERIES BUNDLED & AT AN AMAZING PRICE!!! This one made a few “best of the year” lists!! 😀
Tasha J: Have you read the Dark Legacy series, Grey? It’s goood. Has that Fallen Crest-ish feel.
Tessa: the Dark Legacy books. I’m with Tasha on this one. READ IT! Jaymin Eve can write characters better than most. Tate James can tell a story that will suck you in. Combine them… YAY!
Jackie: I looooved Broken Wings. Never thought I would find a book similar to Paper Princess by Erin Watt or the Silver Swan by Amo Jones ever again. But here it is. It has similar features (four protective guys, elite in a school, bullying etc.) but the story line itself is completely different. The level of angst was beyond scale. I adored everything about this book. Riley was hilarious and Beck is definitely my new book crush. …Couldn’t put it down and I now have a book hangover.
Tessa: I absolutely adore Jaymin Eve and Tate James. Both have some of the best PNR, and though Tate James has only done RH, this was in the description:
This dark contemporary romance features one girl and four sexy, dangerous boys but is NOT a reverse harem
So happy about this book! Jaymin Eve writes the best secondary heroes, treating them like first, and Tate James keeps everything on track with her plots. *squees*
Shara: Just finished broken wings. Loved it! 5 star for me.

- Cyborg Sizzle Escape Omnibus: A SciFi Cyborg Romance (Cyborg Romance Continuum Book 1) by Cynthia Sax and Amanda Kelsey
- The North Security Trilogy by Skye Warren <— Skye Warren SERIES BUNDLE ALERT!!
- Brides of the Kindred Box Set: Volume One: (Claimed, Hunted, Sought, Found) by Evangeline Anderson <— EVANGELINE ANDERSON SERIES BOOK BUNDLE SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!!!! My sister LOVES this series BIG TIME (she’s reviewed all the way to book #9 here on the blog)!!
MichelleS: Brides of the Kindred – read a few of those – totally sexy and fun when you need that weird sci-fi PNR crazy out there insta love.
Tessa: I got my book. Here’s the thing… Claimed from Brides of the Kindred really is that good.
Maryse: And here are my sister’s reviews:
- Guest Review (my sister) – Claimed (Brides of the Kindred book 1) – 5 stars
- Guest Review (my sister!!) – Hunted (Brides of the Kindred book 2)– 4.5 stars
- Guest Review (my sister!!) – Sought (Brides of the Kindred Book 3) – 4.5 stars

- Guest Review (my sister!!) – Chained: Brides of the Kindred book 9 – 4.5 stars
- Hot Cop Boxed Set by Laurelin Paige & Sierra Simone <— TWO BOOK SUPER-BARGAIN BUNDLE!!! “…For the first time, both Hot Cop and P*rn Star are available in one boxed set…”
Sharon: I am enjoying P*rn Star. It is so different from anything I have read in such a long time. It’s almost a romance in reverse. Logan is so darn likeable. It’s on the steamy side (what a surprise) but not over the top. There is a scene with the characters and a little old lady that was funny. I’m still only about 60% in and will give my rating when done. So far? Solid 4 stars – only because it’s well, you know what!
- A Rake for All Seasons: A Regency and Victorian Romance Boxset by Samantha Holt <— BOOK BUNDLE SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!! “A Rake for All Seasons is limited edition boxset featuring full length and novella length Regency and Victorian romances of all heat levels.”
- Venery Series by Suanne Laqueur <— THE FIRST TWO BOOKS IN THIS SERIES ARE ON SALE! I just re-read my notes at the end of my review, and I’m chucking so hard. Yeah… this book GOT ME GOOD!! P.S. Just an example, here’s one of my notes for this book: “What happens when you highlight almost an entire 550 page book? Does it blow up Amazon’s Kindle memory?” Here’s my 5-STAR review.

The residents slept for two days. When they woke up they discovered that things had changed—they had changed. Some started having visions. Others heard ominous voices. And then, scientists from a mysterious government agency arrived. Determined not to become research subjects of strange experiments, the residents of Fogg Lake blamed their “hallucinations” on food poisoning, and the story worked. But now it has become apparent that the eerie effects of The Incident are showing up in the descendants of Fogg Lake…”

➔➔➔ Get Maryse’s Book Blog updates delivered by email (you’ll get one daily email that will have each post from that day consolidated on it).
Maryse, do you know if Every Other Weekend by Abigail Johnson was released today? It was suppose to, but I haven’t seen it anywhere.
Hi Harper!!
You bet! Thank you for letting me know about it. I found it and added it in, up there. 😀 You can’t miss it.
Woop! So excited about Gabriel’s Promise but I’m behind on my re-read so it will be a bit until I get to it. I’m reading Jeannine Colette’s Just Ten Seconds now and no way am I squirreling!
Let me know what you think of Just Ten Seconds. It sounds right up my alley and I love that author!!
I’ll jump in here and tell you it was wonderful!! I highly recommend it!
Happy Tuesday! I was so excited yesterday bc I got approved for a book I had wanted on NetGalley!! I thought it wouldn’t happen bc I have 1 little review, but Yay!! It’s called The Herd by Andrea Bartz. I didn’t get a chance to start it yesterday, but I am today. And The Sun Down Motel should be here tomorrow so I’ll jump right into that next. 😃
Yay for you Tasha!! Let us know how you like it!
I will!
I literally just opened my new kindle I got for Christmas yesterday. It’s sad. And I’ve only gotten to read about 10% today due to unforeseen circumstances. Life is so unfair. I want a real, true 24 hr. break from it. I’ve already declared when the kids are out of the house, you’ll find me living off Cheetos. I don’t even like Cheetos, but I’m so tired of the production every day. For now, is it so much to ask for a 2 hr. uninterrupted nap and space in my own bed? Like, go to sleep when u hit the sheets, pleeeease?? Alas, I am obsessed with this story. I wanna keep goooooing.
*snuggles Tasha*
*builds a blankie fort* <--- Go in there. I'll keep watch.
Happy Tuesday everyone! I just want to drop a note for two of today’s new releases….Every Other Weekend by Abigail Johnson was a really good YA book with some heavy issues. Just A Boyfriend by Sariah Wilson was also quite good. It’s the second in a series but you could easily read it as a standalone. They were both 4 star reads for me.
I have to say I’m intrigued by You Were Here Too by Colleen Oakley. I’m pretty sure I already have it on my TBR!
Oh YAY!!! I love your updates and recommendations. You Were Here Too is calling me hard!!!
Happy Tuesday! I read Come Back for Me by Corinne Michaels as soon as my pre-order popped up on my kindle. It was a cute start to a new series. The other pre-order that popped up (that I didn’t see on your list) was Code Name: Heist by Sawyer Bennett.
Thank you Colleen! I’ll add it to my list up there. Thank you for letting me know.
How did you like Come Back for Me? It’s skyrocketed up the Amazon charts!!
I’m on my lunch and it is a busy day but not hard. Raining outside so it looks later and I have some subtle cold symptoms. I do have some house work I need to do when I get off but all I want are my pajamas, my blankets, my squishy pillow, my dog and either a drama episode or the next chapter in my current read.
Just a few hours more. Fighting!
Hope your cold symptoms don’t turn into a full-on cold!
I spent a bit of the evening unwinding yesterday, reorganizing my tea drawer, and then my coffee/K-Cup drawer. I dunno why organizing is so soothing to me, but it is. I love projects of making things more efficient and consolidated.
Then, I read more of “Regretting You” (and I love the twist in the first quarter, did not see that coming at ALL… until it did). And still, I don’t know the whole answer to that.
I’m finally starting Mists of the Serengeti. Yippee!! 😃 I hope I love it. 🤞 I absolutely HATE when you all love something and I don’t.
I’m snuggled up on sofa, got my comfy clothes & blankie and family has been fed. Let the reading commence!!!
Just love it then and everything will be ok! 😆🤣🤷♀️
LOL!!!!!!
Just finished charmed souls by Abbi Glines. I haven’t read and Abbi Glines book in a while so I one clicked it and finished it in one day. I don’t really read paranormal romance but this was so good. An easy 5 stars for me. I also don’t normally start a series without all the books being completed. It ends on a cliff hanger and now I’m dying to read book 2. Thinking of starting you were there too by Colleen Oakley next.
Charmed Souls was definitely a blurb jolt for me…
The Professor is back! Loving Gabriel as a father now.
YAY!!! I can’t wait for the feedback once everyone finishes.
I’m reading the king maker by Elle Kennedy. It’s really good.
I love everything so far. Thanks for the recommendation.
The story and the characters are engaging but I wish the author could have done a better job with the characters’ voices. The heroine sounds like as if the hero is speaking.
I get what you mean, Cat. I haven’t read that one yet, but I’ve read some where I couldn’t figure out who was talking for a page or a few pages… because everyone sounded the same.
My book of the month is here!! (The Sun Down Motel) and it’s so beautiful! *Eeep*, I can’t wait to dig in.
I got to 20ish% last night in The Herd too, it’s written so well and completely engrossing. I can’t wait to see where it takes me next.
So, I read book of the month subscription is free, you pay for your book every month (you get 5 to choose from), or choose to skip. Also, some of the books are early releases, like the one I got. 😃 Sounds good to me. If you want to check it out, here’s a link they gave me w/ this book- bookofthemonth.com/friends
The Herd sounds awesome. I just added it and The Sun Down Motel to the upcoming new releases page earlier today. So excited for them!!!
I just love Taemin. Love watching him dance. He will be touring the west coast with members of other groups making up like a super group. If Amy was still around I’d try and convince her to go to the Seatle one so I could live vicariously through her. This is his Japanese single. I love how into it the audience is. I need to make it a bucket list to either see a solo concert, or with his group SHINee❤❤, or with Super M the group touring.
Thos dance is slightly weird but so cool, and his popping.

Maryse, I’m like a year behind in movies but I’m assuming you’ve seen A Quiet Place?
I have and I liked it! Didn’t blow me away like best-movie-ever type thing but I did enjoy it!! Did you see it?
I also enjoyed (but didn’t love as much as the critics – so I’m tempted to watch it again now that the hype had died down in my mind – is Heredity)
We watched it last night. I definitely liked the acting/filming of it better than the scare factor, but thought it was great all round. Haven’t seen Heredity yet. That was movie #7 for the year which is about 5 more than I’ve seen in the last 3 years combined! 😆
Have any of you watched Parasite yet? I haven’t cause it just doesnt seem like my type but people and critics love it. It is winning a lot of awards too. The actor is the main actor in My Ahjussi.
I guess when it won a globe the director said, “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.”
I hold that for tv shows too.
I haven’t but it sounds like horror (and my kind of horror – asian horror!!!) YAY!!!
Oh wait… though how does a horror win a globe? SO… not a horror?
I just made a version of the Mississippi roast in the crockpot for the 1st time. Fingers crossed it turns out great! I used pickled veggies bc that’s what my son picked and we’re not pepper people. Chicken broth instead of beef bc we’re doing a pork roast and I didn’t put the veggies in, I’ll make some on the side.
I can’t wait to find out how you like it. I’ve used jalapeños once when I didn’t have the banana peppers.
I LOVE pickled veggies. I bet it will be great.
Sounds super yummy! I’ve never branched out and tweaked it…but I’m liking the sound of the pickled veggies!!
It turned out great! I thought maybe it would be similar to sauerkraut, which I love and haven’t had in years cooked w/it, but it was tangier. I got a mild pickled veggie of some sort and I think it was just right. There were some pepperochinis in it as well. I just made some baby red mashed and fresh green beans. Will do again, with another type of meat too. Thanks for the recipe!
