Following my heart, one book at a time...
Aimee is in the mood for this very specific trope and these darker themed books (also subbed “Dark Romance”) are a guilty pleasure for many. That whole “slow burn/is he redeemable?” is in full effect in these “love/hate” stories!
I’ve delved into a few dark romance books in my past and while they certainly captured my attention (for example, “Comfort Food” was my first and I was HOOKED), there were some anti-heroes that I just couldn’t connect with.
Aimee is looking for recommendations and I LOVE this list already!! 🙂 In fact, it’s what keeps me smiling throughout – hen done right.
She asks:
I recently read a book that had a hilarious kid in it. I am looking for other books with funny kids in them.
Could you help?
Maryse: People kept mentioning THE kids. How funny the kids were. How they made this story… more. I can love kids in stories, but I often find kids are a bit over exaggerated in novels (or not quite true – to me anyway – to their age). But not these. And there were SIX of ’em. ABSOLUTE perfection on the “kid-front”. Hilarious, bratty, heartwarming, infuriating, goofy, and everything I expect in a story about a makeshift family that has to adjust in the face of tragedy.
Wareesha: I was just wondering if you know of any book where there is a female assassin or like spy or something along those lines, and she has to integrate herself into a normal suburbia life style..
Honestly, I was just thinking about the movie Keeping Up With the Jones’s and then I was watching The Expendables the other day and it just came up!!!
Katie asked for this, and here it is (and will be a work in progress for days!!) So if you don’t see your favorite on here, let me know by email or in the comments, and I’ll add it. 😀 I LOVE THIS LIST!!!!
Katie: Hello!
Can you please get a trend going for romantic trilogies? Can be dark/steamy, or light just need a good plot, and you know the best books are the ones we hate to finish!! Lol
Maryse: GREAT IDEA!!!! OMG YES! On it!!! ☺️
Kris is looking for recommendations! Oh I’ve read a bunch like this… I just can’t pinpoint exact books just yet. Hopefully my memory comes back to me and I can add some to this list, too.
Like, I think a few circumstances in the Anita Blake series, and of course, the Sookie Stackhouse series (part fae and vampires… oh boy! PURE trouble).
And I have a feeling, Jacob (werewolf) and Renesmee (vampire) will be problematic if Stephenie Meyer ever writes their story, in the Twilight series one day. 😉 Tee hee!
