“T” asked for:
T: …stalker/love from afar when it works out. If there’s a list that covers this that I missed let me know!
Maryse: Oh I love the stalker/love from afar trope! I’ll see what we can come up with on both of your requests. 🙂
My Book Reviews
Reader Recommendations – Books where the hero is a slave and the heroine falls in love with him…
Gin is in the mood to read a very specific trope (historical OR modern is fine). I can’t think of anything off the top of my head to recommend her in that regards? I’m not a huge historical romance reader, but I’m sure there are plenty in that genre…
I have read (and love) opposites attract/wrong side of the tracks books (a few where the hero is homeless that I LOVED), but I can’t think of any where he’s a slave…
On my “What are you in the mood to read” page, she tells us:
Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books where the heroine doesn’t end up with the lead guy…
LIST REQUEST TIME!!! 😀 We’re in the mood for something a little different, romance-wise. 😉 Romance yes!! But with a twist.
And this time, it’s (by nature of the trope request) “spoiler-ish” because pretty much right off the bat – for most of these suggestions anyway… we’ll know who the winning guy ends up being.
So unless you don’t mind already knowing a specific outcome in a love story, you might want to skip this one (and not look at the recommendations below).
Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books to “escape reality”…
Mony just sent me this very sweet list for us to pick and choose from that might just do the trick in helping us escape our current reality. Some super-sexy, some warm and comforting and some just plain ol’ fun (and she categorizes them too, in case you’re in the mood for exactly “that”)!!
I love this idea, and there are a bunch in her list that rocked my world, so I’m anxious to try her other favorites. And I’m anxious for YOUR lists, too. Let’s add ’em!
Book Review – The Life You Stole by Jewel E. Ann
The Life You Stole (The Life Series Book 2) <— If you haven’t read book #1 yet, skip this review altogether and go to my first review here so my (and our) emotions below don’t spoil stuff for ya!!! Good news? The duet is complete so if this sounds up your alley, you can devour it all in one shot, cliffhanger and all! 😀
<— You guys. This one did a number on me. It was dark and emotional and depressing and hardcore, and yet despite that… “ethereal” quality about it, it felt real. Which is probably why I needed a billion breaks from it while I was reading it. HOLY. MOLY.
