Debbie needs our book help! Ohhhhh rejecting and pining and unrequited love is alllll up my alley!

She asks:

Forgotten brothers best friend book!

Years ago I was reading a series about brothers on a ranch with one younger sister.

She loved their neighbor but he was like an honorary brother and refused to admit he loved her. She waited naked and he rejected her so she left town and the next book would have been their story.

Do you know this series? If so please help!

I noticed your brothers best friends list and was hoping to find it here read more

Reader Question – The book set in a world where society collapsed and men had all the power…

Haley thought this one sounded interesting, but she forgot the title.

Theme/trope-wise (I love it!! Post apocalyptic or dystopian). It almost sounds like The Handmaid’s Tale or even a book I just one-clicked “Vox” that I haven’t read yet (where women are only allowed to say a limited number of words a day). Eeeeep!

Or even Folsom (The End of Men Book 1 by Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster (though that one, it’s the women that have survived and taken over… and the men that are scarce). P.S. Here’s my my review. read more

Reader Question – The book about the plane crash and a few adults and children make a home on the island…

Jennifer is looking for this one! AND!!! I think I already know it. IT WAS GREAT and so many here devoured this book! P.S. I LOVE “stranded/survival” books, especially between strangers, and everything that develops as they try and survive.

She asks:

Need help remembering title of a book

It been a few years since I read this book but it starts off as a plane ride. There is bad weather but a man woman and a family decide to take a smaller plane into a island I believe they are visiting. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book where people have to take cover and get somewhere safe and he has a stockpile so she goes with him…

Sue needs our book help! This one sounds post apocalyptic or the potential to become that, and I LOVE THOSE!! Especially when they stay in the realm of reality (you know… zombie-less). 😉

She asks:

Maryse,

Help! I read a book about six or seven years ago and I can’t remember it. Gah!!

The H/h were college kids (but I don’t remember their relation to each other.) Something is happening in the world that requires people to take cover and get somewhere safe. The H heads home, because his family has a stockpile of sorts. read more

Reader Question – The book about the Knight that marries a handmaiden and there is a plot against them…

Mary Ann is looking for this series! I’m not much of a historical romance buff, but this one sounds pretty great!

She asks:

Good day,

I hope this email finds you well.

I’m looking for a mini-book series like short stories

The series is about a knight/conquerer who marries a handmaiden as a wife instead of a bride chosen for him.

There is a plot against them as they are required to produce an heir but someone poisons her tea that she is unable to get pregnant.

TIA

Anyone have a guess?

Dalia: Could it be Unexpected Circumstances by Shay Savage? The first book in the series is called The Handmaid. read more

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story? A captivating book trailer can help make that happen. Imagine turning your book into a short, engaging video that brings your story to life, highlights its most intriguing elements, and gives readers a reason to want to know more. A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?

That sounds like Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan. I read it in 2012. Really great book. I remember waking up ar 2 am to read because I couldn't stop thinking about it. So good.
