Reader Question – The book where her baby was taken from her and she thought it was stillborn…

By 6 Comments

Dilsa needs our book help! Oooooh huge misunderstanding and craziness and drama. Plus… meddling mother-in-laws. I don’t think I’ve read this one but maybe you have?

She asks:

Hiii again!! 🙂

so I’m trying to find this book where the heroine thinks that her baby was stillborn (or maybe she was in jail and knew that the baby was taken from her I’m not sure).

But actually the hero is raising their child and hates the heroine because he thinks the heroine hide the pregnancy from him and put the baby for adoption.

I think hero’s mother was involved in all of this.

Can you please help me find this book

Dilsa

Anyone have a guess?

bev: The Land Where Sinners Atone – V.F. Mason

Kate: Empire of Lust – Rina Kent has a similar vibe

Bewaji: *Once a Wife by Patricia Keelyn * I think. I also asked for help about this same book sometimes last year.

Reader Question – The romantic suspense book with brilliant scientist that gets kidnapped & her brother disappeared as well…

By Leave a Comment

Melanie needs our book help! Sounds like a lot of the ex-military security books that are in our weekly roundups!! Hopefully someone here knows this one:

She asks:

RE: Romantic Suspense with Brilliant Scientist

This brilliant woman she and her brother are working on some top secret weapon. The brother disappeared and she hasn’t been able to contact him for some time.

And they break into her lab which is like layers underground so she implements the fail safe she and her brother came up with before. They take her.

She sends out a message to some security group where the hero works who is friends with her brother and she destroys the file so that they wouldn’t get their hands-on the weapon. The hero is watching while she was kidnapped

I thinks he’s loved her from far and didn’t think he was good enough.

Please help me find this book.

Anyone have a guess?

12 Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 02-24-2025

By 8 Comments

HAPPY MONDAY & YET ANOTHER START TO A NEW WEEK. Luckily, we have some AMAZING sounding new releases that just went live in the last 24 hours and quite a few going live tomorrow. This week will be a stellar for reading, and it’s how I’ll relax after my fast-paced work days. Thank goodness for books!!

P.S. There’s one that’s going live tomorrow that gave me the BIGGEST blurb jolt and I one-clicked/preordered it SO HARD. I.CAN’T. WAIT for it to go live!!!

Three things:

1.) I set up my beautiful coastal table and I’m so proud of it. The combo of coastal dishes and big glasses, little glasses, (the pitcher, and everything in between and maybe even these) that I showed you last week, the beautiful pitcher, these gorgeous sea turtle cloth napkins and napkin rings, and the cherry on top…the fun & whimsical wood whale tale. I can’t stop smiling at it. So what’s the “theme” of your house? Or what is your favorite collection that you love to display/

2.) And here is my totally sweet centerpiece. I feel like I need to make it a bit… “more”… not sure yet. But overall, I love it.

3.) I binge-watched Beast Games yesterday for nice mindless but fun & thrilling Sunday entertainment while getting ready for yet another week to start. I liked it! I’m not usually into game shows, but… why not, right? And I liked that various competitions/bribes happened along the way, allowing contestants the ability to win money (or that private island!!!! YES PLEASE!!) and not just that whole main prize situation (which is amazing in itself).

 

Okay now… time for BOOKS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!

Penelope Ward – Rockstar Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

ROCK STAR ROMANCE FANS/PENELOPE WARD FANS (That’s me!!! —> I’m a HUGE fan of both!!!) her latest release: The Drummer’s Heart JUST. WENT. LIVE!!! Each one CAN be read as a standalone, but it’s an interconnected series. 🙂

Mary Ann: I read Penelope Ward’s the Rocker’s Muse and the Drumers Heart. Love both books! They have the rockstar shenanigans, all the feels and I even shed some tears.

About book #1

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.

Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview. When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey. He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person. That night, I got a call offering me the job.

So began my complicated story with Tristan. Millions of women loved him. Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me. Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room. I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.

Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection. But I had a secret. One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour. And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.
