Reader Question – The book about the heroine that ends up at an unsafe BDSM club…

By 4 Comments

Ornella is looking for this one and she has a ton of details and I think I read this one!!! AND LOVED IT!!

She asks:

Hello Maryse,

I’ve only found your blog a few days ago but I’m loving it already.

I saw you help people with books they had been looking for and I hope you can help me as well. There’s this book I’ve been looking for, I don’t know the author or title, it might be part of a series.

It’s a romance/erotic book involving BDSM and I remember some things about the story. Basically there’s this woman who’s into bdsm (she likes to be dominated, rougher sex, she might be a masochist too, never explored these desires though). I think she’s a bit older than your average romance novel character, maybe 40s ( I think she might have kids, that are adults, already grown and living their own life) . read more

Oyinda has one for us to guess and it sounds forbiddeny!!! In fact, I think it’s been a past reader question a year or so ago.

She asks:

I am searching for a book that I read a year ago on your website but I cannot remember the title. I am hoping to get some insight on the name of the book. These are some of the details that I remember from the book.

– Hero finds heroine adandoned/homeless. Hero is 15 years at the start of the book but takes in heroine at a young age

– Hero is careful not cross any boundaries with heroine since he is like a father figure, but heroine grows up falling in love with hero read more

Mae needs our book help!! Oh this really rings a bell for me. I think it came out late last year, and if I remember right, it’s by one of my favorite authors (my mind is saying Kate Stewart or Aly Martinez, or…??). I haven’t read it yet, ’cause I’m not much of a gamer myself (so I dunno if I’d “get” it) but my curiosity has been peaked…

She asks:

Maryse,

I am desperate to find a book I’ve read awhile back. I have searched high & low on my kindle and could not for the life of me find it. read more

Reader Question – The book about the girl that stumbles upon a crime, and they take her…

By 4 Comments

Kelli is looking for this one! Two books immediately came to mind (I discuss why, below) but I know they’re not the ones, so I’m dying to find out too!

She asks:

Hi!

I’ve come across your blog while trying to hunt down a book I read a few years ago.

I cannot for the life of me recall the name or even the author, but it’s out of a distinct genre and a dark read, so, I’m hoping you’ve read it and it rings a bell. I really need to read this book again!

Anyways, it’s about a girl who stumbles up on a crime being committed and she’s found out by the men committing it (a murder if I remember right, and she’s hid beside dumpsters). So, they take her, and she ends up in this beautiful home that is also a S&M private club of some sort. The man who keeps her, kind of deprives her from affection until she’s all but starved of it and begs for communication. read more

Reader Question – The book where he draws on her with special markers for skin…

By 9 Comments

Carrie needs our book help and I love the sound of this one!! It sounds warm and uplifting, and now I must know it too!

Carrie: Maryse, I need some help with finding a book.

All I can remember is the H drawing on the h w/ special markers for skin, & she eventually gets some of his drawings tattooed. I believe he’s a tattoo artist.

And the drawings help her heal/help her body image… Is this ringing any bells?? Did I dream this story line? Thanks!!

Jackie: I remember this as well but I can’t remember the title.. 😑 read more
