I’ve recently re read Paradise by a Judith McNaught, one of my favorites!

I am dying to know what are your favorite rich heroine/poor hero or (blue collar hero)?? And also rich heroine and poor hero who comes back later into her life wealthy like her or more.

Love all your recommendations!

Thank you!

Have a favorite recommendation or 2? Or 5? LOL! 😉

Reader Recommendations – Our Favorite Books with Jealous Heroines

By 5 Comments

JEALOUS HEROINES REQUESTED!! The latest recommendations request, some our fellow readers want to read more jealous heroines and I do to, ’cause I always love to fume in the background with them (even if they might not be perceiving what’s making them jealous, correctly). Or especially if they are!!! GASP!

Iqra: Hi I’m looking for books where heroine see hero on a date with other women. Heroine is jealous.

Peggy: I was so happy to see you are creating a jealousy list about heroine catching hero out for dinner or or kissing or hugging other woman. That is my favorite angsty read. read more

Our Favorite Book Boyfriends

This started out as a “we’re bored” let’s do a bookish quiz chat, and the answers were too amazing (and wide spread) that I knew I had to devote a post to it.

1.) Because I know that many here will relate to our favorites (or maybe hate a few of our favorites too). I love how a few of our #1 choices spurred chats about the “why” or the “why nots” of these heroes. There was some gasping in shock, that’s for sure, but we totally get each other. 😉 read more

Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books featuring Beta heroes…

By 4 Comments

THIS LIST IS NO ALPHA-JERKS ALLOWED!! 😂  A few of my fellow readers have a special request, and I’m in!! It’s been asked for a few times in the past, but Ryan’s request a few days ago spurred me into serious action!

Yes, normally I’m more into the alpha-males, but I have fallen head-over-heels with a few of the gentler, patient and unrestrained loving heroes too! So it’s their time to shine, here!!

Ryan asks:

Hey Maryse,
