Reader Question… Solved! The book about the love triangle where she’s kidnapped with two other girls, and tells the story of her two guy best friends…

By 3 Comments

Daisy needs our book help! Oh this sounds GREAT especially the part after the spoiler alert!!! Oooooooh!!!

She asks:

Hey!

Can you help me find this book? I’m really desperate!

The story first starts off with the female lead getting kidnapped and assures the other two girls not to fear and explains why and from this she tells them her whole life story from her past: follows a young girl who meets two boys—one is rich, and the other comes from a rough background with a father involved in a gang.

As they grow up, the three become close friends, but things get complicated when she kisses the poor boy, sparking a fight between the two.

Over the years, they all mature.

The poor boy ends up joining the gang and would sometimes sneak into her trailer to see her, though his father would occasionally catch him. At some point, one of the boys disappears, leaving the other to take care of her.

Toward the end of the book, she discovers the missing boy in an underground fighting ring after being kidnapped. It’s a love triangle because she’s in love with both of them.

Reader Question – The book where she’s pregnant and is grieving her husband, and his brother takes care of her…

By Leave a Comment

Sam needs our book help! I love a book about love after loss, and this one sounds extra-angsty due to the circumstances!!

She asks:

Book title?

I’m looking for a book the girl loses her boyfriend/husband and is pregnant. The younger brother helps her out he has always loved the heroine and they were best friends since childhood.

The town doesn’t like it. They almost break up because of it but they work it out.

It’s a book series the next book is about heroines sister.

Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 12-16-2024

By Leave a Comment

ONLY SIX EARLY BIRDS ON TODAY’S LIST but they are sound pretty great! From Christmas romance, to dark Christmas romance, I’ve got one to tickle your fancy for sure. 😉

<— P.S. I mean… a new one by T.L. Swan? YES PLEASE!!

Three things:

1.) I took advantage of the Bath & Body Works sale for all body care, this weekend. Got myself some Strawberry Poundcake & also Peppermint Twist body care stuff (shower gels, lotions, the works!). I will smell so yummy!! I just love a shower that smells decadent. 😉 Also, Peppermint Twist is my favorite ’cause while it smells sweet, it also smells fresh and clean and leaves my whole body having that cold pepperminty feeling all over and I dunno… that just feels extra clean when my skin feels that way.

2.) I also love when my sheets smell like my favorite scent. Nothing better than coming out of a shower and getting into clean, super-soft sheets that smell amazing.

3.) I went to lunch with a friend/colleague on Friday and we discovered a fantastic Italian Restaurant in Clearwater called “Antico Fornaio” and the Spaghetti “Puttanesca” with meatballs, (because might as well make it as deliciously sinful as possible), and it ROCKED. MY. WORLD!!!!! I ate the WHOLE thing, no leftovers and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s one of the yummiest things I’ve ever eaten. Go eat it (that’s IF you love capers and olives and weird, briny, yummy things like I do)!

Our Latest Favorite Mafia Romance Books

By 2 Comments

MAFIA ROMANCE LOVERS, REJOICE!!! I’ve got an excellent mega list of the ultimate in mafia romance, but I figured I’d make a new add-on right here. Anti-heroes, villains, criminals, alpha males, and seeing their world through the heroine’s eyes is MY FAVORITE!! Of course, there are plenty of these stories where we live life through life through the crime bosses eyes as well, and what a thrill it is!

So check out what we’re loving the most, but also, here are my past lists and categories in this genre. 🙂

Okay… and now, our latest, greatest Mafia Romance Reads!!

Sandra: I’ve had lots of recs for the Made series from Danielle Lori. It’s next on my TBR.

Maryse: YESSSSS!!!! This is one of my most highly recommended that people send to me!! And also Harley Diamond’s The Outlaw Chess Series!!

Jennifer: I’m loving the Perfectly Imperfect series by Neva Altaj.

Katie: Omg! This is the best mafia series ever!! I hope she makes it to #1. Drago and Sienna’s in Silent Lies and then Mikkail and Bianca in Book 2. Soooo good!

Rae: Sempre JM Darhower. When Heroes Fall Giana Darling.

Jessica C: 🙂 I would buy Sempre for all my friends b/c its a favorite

Caitriona: Sempre was fantastic

Rae: it was Caitriona. ❤️ the whole series was 👌

Maryse: Sempre will always be a forever favorite for me.

Kathy: I’ve been loving Abbi Glines Smoke Series. Finished it and just moved on her Georgia Smoke Series. Also love Sadie Kinkaids’ Chicago Ruthless Series and Cala Riley’s The Syndicate Series

Mandy: Abbi Glines’ Smoke series! It’s a southern mafia. So so good!

Michelle: Thank you Maryse’s Book Blog! Loving Abbi Glines new series!!!!

Kelsie: Amazing series!

Terri: Abbi Glines and her new Smoke Series! It’s AMAZING! ❤️

Kelly: Ruthless People strong female character I loved all of them!

Maryse: OH YES!!!!! I need to read them!! Thank you for reminding me Kelly! 😃

Kady: I’m just wondering if anyone can recommend a mafia book with a strong female like Melody from Ruthless People. I have read a few now and the women aren’t weak (I mean you don’t fall for these kinds of guys and be weak) but none of them are in the business. None of the other women are quite as kicka** as Melody and im spoiled now lol. I want another great one where the girl can give as good as the guy can.

Charity: Totally messed with me. I wanted to root for them but totally didn’t

Misty: awesome series.

Tasha: The kings series by Shantel Tessier (The Dark Kingdom)
