Maryse’s 2011 Top Twenty Five Favorite Books List – Too Good To Archive

December 31, 2011 By Maryse 72 Comments

In 2011 I read 117 books. Or actually, I should say, I completed exactly 110 books, and didn’t finish seven of ’em. Wanna know how I came up with this list? Most of these are the books that I have read, and/or have re-read this year that continue to “live” in my Kindle vs. being “archived” and deleted out of my main virtual library.

You see, even though archiving my e-books doesn’t delete them from my account, and I can retrieve them at any time, I can’t bear to part with these. I need to see them every day, as I scroll though my unread books (just seeing them gives me butterflies). I need to open them up every once in awhile, and re-read my favorite highlighted parts, when I’m reminiscing or when I’m bored but don’t have the time to start a brand new book. And sometimes, I just need to re-read them altogether.

I know… some of these you’ve already seen in some of my past lists (yep – that’s how good they are, so on this main list, they will remain), but I’ve read a bunch more that so need to be listed…

So here they are. These books are “too good to archive”. I tried to order these by favorites, but it’s almost impossible. If they’re on this list, it’s because they affected me tremendously in some way. Either I obsessed about the hero, and/or couldn’t put it down or I dreamt about the book, or it simply had a moment that shocked me and made me gasp. No matter what, the books on this list made me feel. And I connected to them, wholeheartedly.

Update: I sorta cheated. The list started out as my top “twenty” but  there are now 25 books on the list 😉 Hey! What can I say? I had a great book year! Many of the ones that aren’t on this list were still really good, and 4 stars for me… Yep. A great book year!

Many of them are tied in the same spot:

Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L. James – Prepare yourselves. This one (and book #2) might just ruin you for all other books. I’m not making this up. It’s the problem most presented to me in the emails I get on a regular basis from other readers. No other book can touch this one now for them. You’ll have no choice but to become obsessed with Christian Grey. It can’t be helped. And the funny thing about it, is that had I not told you this, many of you would have bypassed it altogether due to the “alternative romance” content held within. Even the most vanilla of us can’t resist it (even if some of us try to keep that fact a secret). Don’t pass this one by. But before you get to it, maybe you should read a bunch of my other favorites, and save this one for last. Just sayin’.


Fifty Shades Darker: Book Two of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L. James. Book #2 in the “Grey” trilogy. This one’s even better than #1. ‘Nuff said. (whoops!! Other than that warning I gave you above: “… maybe you should read a bunch of my other favorites, and save this one for last. Just sayin’.”

Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens. A rock star, and a sordid love triangle. But that’s not all. This author pushes the boundaries. Every moment, every emotion is wonderfully detailed, and every emotion is experienced by the reader. She doesn’t just tell the story. She makes us love it. This one’s not quite politically correct, but boy oh boy does it make the reader react. In a good way. In a bad way. But then there’s Kellan. And that’s all there needs to be. *heart*. Her second book

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire – I know… I know. This one has been on every one of my lists this year, and pretty much always around the top of ’em. I know. Why should I change now? The book still rocks my world. There’s no other way around it. In fact, I sent a copy to my mom, and she told me she stayed up all night to read it, dreamt about it, and couldn’t stop thinking about it the following day. I wasn’t sure how much she’d connect with them considering the whole “college life” thing, but she did. See? No other way around it… Plus. There’s more to come! You’ll be seeing more of Jamie on my future lists for sure.

On the Island: A Novel by Tracey Garvis-Graves – this was the last book I read in 2011. And WHAT A WAY to end my reading year. I ended it in a whirlwind of danger, frightening events and circumstances, and deep bonding. *sigh* A perfect story. You’ll shiver in fear, you’ll worry, you’ll laugh, you’ll fret, you’ll cheer. You’ll sigh with a heart brimming full of emotion and love. You’ll cry. Oh you will cry. My only complaint. I wish there was more. I miss them terribly. A re-read for sure!

Effortless (Thoughtless) (book #2) is a half step down from Thoughtless for me, in intensity. But it is SO needed for the reader’s need for resolution. Kellan, and crew are back, and Kellan is now officially on his way to becoming a huge rock star. Considering his past issues with Keira, how will his future bode? Mmmm hmmm. I’m not saying a word. 😉

Shadowfever: A MacKayla Lane Novel by Karen Marie Moning – an amazing ending to a saga that had us gaga (ew! I hate that word, but it worked too perfectly here) over Barrons… and some of us, V’Lane 😉 —> Me. I’m a V’lane girl! *shrug* Can’t help it. But I adored Barrons too, I promise!! And guess what. We found out that in fact, this isn’t the end! Karen announced that after her spin-off trilogy, there will be more in the MacKayla Lane world to follow, featuring Mac and Barrons. Whaaaaat? Some of you didn’t know? Bet you’re freakin’ now!

Sweet Dreams by Kristen Ashley – I cheered when I found this book. Right off the bat. I knew. I found another one. Another Alpha male that was going to make us swoooooon and our hearts palpate, and our dreams full of Tate. Tate. Tate. Tate. Gorgeous tattooed, bad-boy alpha with tons of rude ‘tude. On a Harley. In leather. He says some pretty mean things at first which immediately put me in growl-mode, and it just kept getting better (or worse, depending on how you look at it) but in an “I-hate-him-but can’t resist-him” kind of way. And that’s the most fun way to be, when reading, isn’t it? Make us work for it. And this author sure did. BTW, I’m gonna only put up a few from this author on this list, but honestly, almost every book I’ve read from her, so far, is right about at the same level as this one. (and she’s written many!)

Rock Me by Cherrie Lynn –> I just re-read this one over the Christmas weekend. Just as amazing the second time around. And Brian is still one of my #1’s without a doubt. I was wondering if maybe I was just “extra” romance-y feeling when I first read it and fell for him so hard, but nope. Brian just brings it. Maybe Ghost’ll bring it, too? *fingers crossed*

How to Kill a Rock Star by Tiffanie DeBartolo – okay so officially this book is older, but I found and read it in 2011 and it totally counts. This is one of my favorite books of all-time, and I will NEVER forget it. Well, I’ll never forget any of the books on this list, but this one, in particular traumatized me and scarred me for life. In a bad way. And in a good way too. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Mystery Man (Daydream Series) by Kristen Ashley – Another infuriating Alpha-male love affair where the the relationship with the hero is simply, mind-boggling. He loves me, he loves me not… and that whole thing. But things sure spur him into action when two other super-hot alphas (a bad boy biker and a detective) take an interest in the heroine. HIS woman. Oh yeah? Since when? Hawk took me on quite an emotional ride, with his game-playing turned serious, turned “I-dunno-what-I-want” heartbreak. Grrrrrrrr!! As in the world of Wilma Flinstone “ooooooooh THAT MAN!!!!!” Did I just date myself? Y’all still know who the Flintstones are (were), right? 😉

Lady Luck (Colorado Mountain Series) by Kristen Ashley – Ty will make you swoon, and then break your heart.  A few times. For both. The premise is absolutely crazy, and yet, it works. The author let’s us live their crazy story, and you absolutely forget you’re not in it with them. It is fast-paced, fun and absolutely furious. And then… there’s a beach scene. Do you like to cry, when reading? *grin* I adored this book.

Where She Went (If I Stay) by Gayle Forman – Ohhhh the plight of yet another tortured rock star. And this character had every right to his desperate angry tormented ways. EVERY reason. And as we live out a few days during the pinnacle of his huge rock-stardom, we re-live his agony over his loss of the only thing that mattered to him. Rock stardom was his dream, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, living it with a broken heart. Sure, the reason for his destruction is also what helped catapult him to rock stardom, but he just can’t get past it. And this is the book that brings us (and him) face to face with his heartbreaker. (to get the whole sad story, check out book #1 first: If I Stay)

Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park – The first book that I tried and LOVED that really didn’t have anything in it that I normally “searched” for when looking for a new book to read. No bite-y creatures, no tattooed bad-boys, no rock stars. But it was amazing. A little mystery, a little romance, family issues and bonding, a Christmas moment that stole my heart. Yearning… and then a twist that took my breath away! An unforgettable 2011 read for sure! Oh Jesssssicaaaaa… perhaps there is a part 2, to this story? Hrmmm *hint hint*


Love Unscripted by Tina Reber – a fairytale that could totally happen. It could. It’s what every girl who’s ever had a crush on a famous actor has wished for at one time in her life, I’m sure. And Taryn get’s it. Unfortunately, she get’s all the insecurities that go along with dating such an A-lister and the fun is not just in the romance, but in the potential heartache and drama that follow. I didn’t see it coming…

At Peace (The ‘Burg Series) by Kristen Ashley. Another AMAZING read that had me clutching my heart at times, and completely connecting to the heroine. I understood her from start to finish. I felt her crush on Joe, her hesitation because of his bad-boy history, her acceptance of him into her life because he was so obviously into her. And then I felt it when he ripped her heart out. Kristen’s Alphas are always equal mix of hot, irresistible and infuriating, but as the story plays out, you always *get him* too. LOVED this one!

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred – this one is simply a HUGE story. From childhood to adulthood, the two main characters will capture your heart and never let it go. Regardless of whether you are reading about them as children or older, the beauty in their friendship is so pure that you’ll love every moment of it. Until, that is, something terrible happens to separate these two soul-mates. And yet, you won’t be able to put it down. Which is the whole reason we read these epic stories, isn’t it? It can’t always be pretty and perfect. In fact, I prefer when it gets messy. Prepare to be devastated.

Finding Home by Bonnie Dee and Lauren Baker – this one had me in a sort of reading “tailspin”. I loved it, and yet, I seriously struggled with the age issues of the two main characters. Regardless. The story is amazing, and if you read it, you won’t be able to forget it. Impossible. It could have been a five star for me, if only… *shrug*

I’m going to definitely “tie” the next three:

Defying the Odds (Battered Hearts) by Kele Moon – this one scratched almost every one of my UFC famous guy needs. I LOVE ’em hulking, brooding and easily winning in the strong-guy department. What? Please! We all love that! Don’t we? LOL! Well I do, and this one had it. Plus he was the ULTIMATE of the ultimate. Plus!! This ultimate fighting champion/hero did NOT play games. I love some game plain’ in books like the next guy, but sometimes its refreshing to get plain ol’ hard-core intensity, and this guy had it in spades.

Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour) by Olivia Cunning. Brian. Another wonderful Brian. And a HUGELY famous rock star, to boot! And he LOVES to fall in love. As I told me friend Tina: “… it was Brian that we all fell for. For such :”sexy” book she really nailed him nicely in the “swooning” department (at least for me).

Sweet as Sin by Inez Kelley – more bad boy/famous guy stuff. Resisting getting serious with the one that he can’t stop thinking about, because, you guessed it. He’s got a past that torments him, and he needs to deal. Still though, this one played me perfectly, and I’d love to find more like it.

Falling Star (Earth Scents) by Olivia Brynn – another book that satisfied my “regular-girl-meets-famous-rock-star” needs. This one too, played out beautifully as the clueless girl (she doesn’t recognize him) falls in deep. And the closer they get, the more nervous he is when he realizes she needs to know the truth about him. It’s getting serious, but will she accept a relationship with him, and all that comes with him? His “reveal” had me gasping. LOVED this book!!

Hearts In Darkness by Laura Kaye – this was a short story but packed quite an intense punch in such a small package. An original storyline, something that could totally happen, too (yes it could!!)… and a gorgeous tattooed and pierced bad boy as the hero. Who could ask for anything more? Steamy. SUPER steamy!! But there’s so much more to the potential romance then just the physical attraction. The emotional connection is there in full force. I wish there was more.

How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper – Simply… adorable. Steamy, and the romance was intense. I couldn’t put it down, and I felt their passion every step of the way). The feeling was just *right* in this. Similar “paranormal” issues as in other paranormal books, but the writing in this one had me connecting full-on.

Please Don’t Stop The Music – A rock star book that took my breath away at one point. A book with so much angst, but this one has a reason for it. Oh sure, they all do, but really. This one DOES!! Ex-Rock star (who was hugely famous just a couple of years ago) running his quiet little guitar shop in England. Avoiding the masses, living almost reclusively, yet still being recognized, still visited by fans. He struggles with who he was and who he is now. BIG time. But in walks someone that he connects to on a level that he hasn’t connected on in ages. Considering both are running away from their pasts, the book takes a few dark turns as their friendship develops. There’s a reason for why he left his rock-stardom behind, and the fun is in discovering the secret. But she has a secret, too.

Well,  there are my top twenty but I’d love to get yours!! Tell me what your absolute favorites of the year were (top 5, 10, 20…). Comment, Facebook or email me your lists! I’m all ears (or eyes… since, you know… they’re books.) Tee hee!

P.S. I have re-ordered these 3 or 4 times now, and it’s still not right. I’m still second guessing my placement. *shakes head* The whole first half can practically be considered (in my opinion) tied at 1st place. So there. 😉

I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings!!

Not gonna lie Maryse…you have me terrified to read FSoG. I am just not ready to have everything else just not measure up yet. So alas I have put off reading it for now (it just sits on my Kindle teasing the crap outta me) EEks!! Until then I must say Kristen Ashley and all of her series I have read thus far are my favorites for 2011. Her alphas are right up there for me with Z and Wrath and Eric and…I better stop there you get the point ;). Happy New Year Everyone and Happy Reading!

Fave books 2011
Happy New Year guys, may it bring us lots and lost of good reads.

Without a doubt Fifty Shades of Grey and Fifty Shades Darker are my # 1. No other book had me in a state frenzy reading like this. But close enough are Succubus Revealed, my fave book series so far Georgina Kincaid last book and Shasowfever, this book and this series had me going crazy off the wall with it’s ups and dows. I can say they are my absolute top faves of the year.

The other ones are:
Rock Me, it has my fave fictional character ever Brian Ross *swoon*
Thoughtless, Effortless, Kellan Kyle , noff said.

Anything and everything by SC Stephens, I read a bunch of her books on Feedbooks and loved them all instensely. She has a way to make u love her characters. Collision Course, this one I highly recommend, I cried a lot with this one, 2 kids with very tragic pasts find each other and  make each other better. The Conversion series is a great paranormal read and Teren Adams is one of my fave leading men ever, he’s the sweetest guy ever, no alpha there. And It’s all relative, it has a tabooish thing about it, since the couple think they are cousins, but its also very good.

All the others: Boycotts and Barflies fun chick lit, smart girls swear off guys, barternder guys want smart girls swearing off barflies. Fun fun fun.
My Blood Approves series; Unleashed (Evan, Brian’s brother);
Chicagoland series: awesome series with enfuriating alpha, kinda hated book #4, but loved #5, so it’s all good now.
Nightshade series, love Michelle Rowen
Hearts in Darkness;
Beautiful Disaster;
Moreno Brothers series;
Perfect Chemistry;
The Darkest Surrender, of Lords of the Underworld ;
Skin Deep, one of the latest I read this year, but oh so steamy good.
**New Years resolution** Start listing the books read, all I know is that I read a lot.

And now i am on the case of “what to read after fifty shades) hahahahaha

Beautiful Disaster – Jamie McGuire
Divergent – Veronica Roth
Delirium – Lauren Oliver
Shadowfever – Karen Marie Moning

Sara. I know. I’m on the lookout for another like it (feeling-wise, at least). It ran us through a whole gamut of emotions.

Maryse, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m so GLAD that I’ve found your blog. I have gotten a ton of great books from your recommendations. Kristen Ashley is now one of my very favorite authors, thanks to you. I’m still working my way through her series’. I will be adding some of these to my TBR 2012 pile for sure. Keep up the good work.

Maryse- This is my first comment. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your blog! I finally feel like I found a group that enjoys a great sexy heart wrenching romance as much as I do. Thanks for introducing Travis and Fifty to me. Those two men will forever be on my iPad! Happy New Year to you and your family!

I highly recommend “Gabriel’s Inferno” by Sylvain Reynard. The book is is along the lines of FSoG with a little Effortless sprinkled in. However, I liked it better than Effortless. Gabriel the lead character is a college professor with a tourtured soul and dark past. He is gorgeous and rich and goes for the virgin graduate student. I thought the writing was fantastic.

Maryse,
I posted my ‘list’ on your fbook but have a feeling 2012 will be a record breaker. 5 books in 4 days with a full time job and being a single parent. Who needs sleep? And apparently I can live off of popcorn (it’s much easier to eat that while reading than going through the nonsense of managing a plate of food). I just completed The Sweet Gum Tree and KNOW that book is going to be on the top of 2012’s list. Thanks so much for your dedication to the cause! Without your help I’d still be wanting aimlessly through my town’s much to be desired library.

After I had recommended Thoughtless and Effortless to you I didn’t think there were books out there that could beat them, I swooned over Kellan the whole time I read them and I compared all other bad boys to him but OH MY I was wrong I finally read Fifty Shades & Fifty Shades Darker as I have heard so much about them from your site and it completely ruined me. I finished both books in two days I couldn’t put them down. And I haven’t been able to read in days which is huge for me. Thanks for all the amazing reads this year it has been great and looking forward to more in 2012

Yeah it did. Well it just made forget for 2 days( it was the time i took to read the book) mut still in these two days i can say that i forgot about fifty. hahahaha I mean, it’s not good as fifty, not at all. Its not as intense, but… And the story is predictible. But the author wrote it so well that in the end it didn’t really matter, and the characters are so good… I loved the girl. And it’s unusual for me. I mean between Abby, Keira, Ana and Candace for example I just truly truly liked Ana, and it was because of her that I decided to read the second book. For the first time in my life, I read a book not because of the guy, but because of the girl. And in trust in advertising i loved the girl too and the guy is also amazing.

I haven’t read all of your top books yet, but I look forward to it. To add my two cents, I really like Stacia Kanes books. I loved Terrible, and I can’t wait for the next book in the Chess Putnam series. However, that said, I have been a huge fan of pretty much anything written by Kristen Ashley of late. Thank you for brining her to my attention, and for the other books on your list. I can’t wait to dig in! Happy New Year!

I just found your blog this last week but had to come back and comment. I read both 50 Shades books about 2 weeks ago and although they were a bit more graphic than what I normally read I loved them. So much so that after I finished the 2nd I started immediately reading them again;) I was so wrapped up in them that I was desperate to find out more about them and what to read next. Cue Google and your blog. After reading your 2011 list I grabbed my Kindle and bought Beatuful Disaster. LOVED it! It was another one of those that made me read it again when I was finished(50 Shades was the first time I needed to read a book again immediately). I just loved Travis so much. I then moved on to Love Unscripted. Another great one! Especially the first half. Their interaction and journey was so beautiful. I didn’t care for their actions near the end though. After her *spoiler* I wanted him to be there for her more than he was. Last but not least Thoughtless and Effortless. Sigh. I can not believe how much I loved/hated Thoughtless. I was calling Kiera ALL kinds of names at one point. I just couldn’t believe her *spoiler* like that. I was furious!!!! I don’t think, other than 50 Shades/Darker, I have ever been more wrapped up in a book than I was in Thoughtless. It was on my mind constantly. I’m ashamed to say that during my 9 years old basketball game last night I kept looking at the clock to see how close I was to being able to go home and keep reading it! I am in all kinds of love with Kellan, I mean really? Swoon! I downloaded Effortless at 2am this morning and finished an hour ago. I am waiting with baited breath for the next. I can’t wait for the next 50 this coming week too.

Anyway, that small novel I wrote up there was just to say, thank you so much for your great book reccommendations. I am a new follower of your blog and will definitely be trying more of your reccommendations. I have Sweet Dreams waiting for me on my Kindle now once I come down from my Kellan high;)

Okay, read sweet dreams and WOW!!! I was hesitant because of the ages of the lead characters but I am so glad that I listened to you and read it anyway. Loved the story and their connection. It was so fun to see her come into her own and find her “special”. This book was so freaking HOT! I kept looking around to see if anyone was seeing what I was seeing;)

Maryse- Have you read the KGI series by Maya Banks? It centers around the six Kelly Brothers. All have a military background and now run an elite ops “family business”. The Kelly men are ALPHA males with a capital A! Maya has written the first 3 (The Darkest Hour, No Place to Run, and Hidden Away). The second No Place To Run was my fav! Would love for Sam Kelly to pull me out of the lake!

Now I caution… Maya has also writes erotica….very steamy sexy stuff! (That my husband has benefited from me reading!) The KGI series is not like that, but if you are like me and read everything by the authors your love… I just want to prepare you.

I just wanted to thank you for all the info on your website, it’s like my bible. Between what u have listed as best books and the comments from other readers and their best read lists I think I’m set for the next year. I’m so excited! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
