Reader Question… Solved! The book about the secret relationship between the college girl and the state senator

January 16, 2020 By Maryse 7 Comments

Victoria is looking for this one! Ohhh a touch scandalous in the age gap (younger girl, older man) + political/paparazzi realm!!

She asks:

Maryse!

I’m in a tizzy and scrambling my brain for the title of this book I want to revisit. I was hoping you and your group could help me out.

It’s about this 21 year old college girl who meets a very young state senator (though he’s still quite a bit older than her by like 7 or 9 years) and they begin a secret relationship until the press finds out. Meanwhile, he’s adamant about her avoiding being photographed by the press (but, of curse eventually the two of them gets linked to reach other).

One of the quotes I distinctly remember from the book was her telling him, “I once had a state senator on his knees” or something like that.

The story spanned three books and they broke up a couple of times. Help!

Anyone have a guess?

Ambraneve: Is it Off the Record BY K.A LINDE?

Jennifer: It’s Off the Record by K.A. Linde. Just found this and read it off my TBR pile. Great trilogy.

Victoria: Oh my gosh, yes!!!!! That was quick. Thank you!! I’ve been wracking my brain on what it could be and scrolling through my electronic order list on amazon.

Leslie M: I loved Off the Record and…it’s on KU with the audio!!!

Jan: A Sense of Belonging by Laura Branchflower is similar, but only one book (I think). College student and older attorney/ powerful senator’s son/ wannabe senator fall for each other.

Maryse: YAY Ambraneve (and everyone that chimed in). I LOVE K.A. Linde and I haven’t read this one yet. 😀 Thanks to Victoria for sending this question over, ’cause now we have a trilogy to add to our TBR list, and if we enjoy that genre, Jan just gave us another recommendation. 😀

Anne Mercier – Rockstar Series Reading Order

January 16, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

SIXTEEN BOOK ROCK STAR SERIES (it’s on KU with tons of already released books to sink yourself into and lose yourself to). It was the answer (well… sort of 😉 ) to one of our reader questions – which was pretty unique in itself to how the answer came to be. Plus, it comes highly recommended!!

Athena: …hands down my all time favorite. …The series I’m gushing about is the Rockstar Series by the ever talented Anne Mercier. Gaaaahhhhh when I found this series lets just say I read that book in a day and was left wanting more, which luckily I was not left wanting more for too long.

You learn about the alpha bad boys of the band Falling Down and can I say if they were a real band I would def be a groupie. The series starts with Jesse Kingston front man for the band reuniting with Luciano Russo famous academy award winner actress wanting to follow her real dream and be a rockstar herself.

This series has some tears, feels and laughs. You will fall in love with each character and I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

Cheryl: Falling Down by Anne Mercier. A good rockstar read with minimal angst. No cliffhanger … Enjoyable, smexy read!! 🙂 Good, rockstar series.

About book #1:

Falling Down — world famous rock band and my current state of being. My head and my heart have been falling for Jesse Kingston since I was just a schoolgirl. He’s sinfully sexy, and I get to spend my days flirting and dancing in his new music video.

The chemistry between us is explosive, but it’s just work—that is, until he proposes a weekend together. I’m all for a sex-filled romp with the dirty-talking rockstar. But what starts out as fun and games turns into something bigger than either of us bargained for.

Now he wants more. He wants everything, and he’s not taking no for an answer. Can a schoolgirl crush turn into a happily ever after or am I destined for heartbreak?

Reader Favorites – D.G.’s Best Books of 2019 List

January 15, 2020 By Maryse 2 Comments

It’s D.G.’s turn!!! She’s sent over her top 7, but two of ’em are series so we’ve got at least a TOP 10 here. 😉

But first… let’s get to know her better with some of D.G.’s 2019 highlights!

I LOVE a pretty cover…sometimes that is what makes me even look at the book to begin with.

My catnip…bully and arranged marriage.

We go to Panama City Beach at least once a summer since it is only a 3 1/2 hour drive. Even have an invite to go down for the weekend, just not sure if we will make it due to a possible ball game. Ugh! Crossing fingers that game will be a no go. Love getting my toes in that sugar sand!!

If you like Cajun food, Dat Cajun place on Thomas Drive is great. Has shrimp dishes and such. We tried that for the first time about a month ago. Needless to say, there are a ton of places to eat.

Anything around 10 is way too cold for me. We are at 49 but should be around 70 by afternoon.

Hydro flasks are wonderful…keeps liquids warm 6 hours or cold longer (maybe 8 hours). Great to have ice left the next day… just be careful with the hot…just about burned my mouth not realizing that it keeps it THAT hot!

…way back when, summer vacation lasted 3 solid months. Way too short now!

My 3 things this Monday:
1. I am a little melancholy this morning. More than likely due to summer winding down. My kiddos only have a week before school starts back…

2. A really, really LOVED Million Dollar Marriage by Katy Evans. I mean she is a given for me…but I LOVED the whole concept of this book. From the vast difference in personalities between the h and H to the reality show that brought them together. It was the awesome. Also, I finally got around to reading the Demigod of San Francisco series. Just awesome!

3. And finally…nothing funnier than coming into the office to see a sign by the badge reader stating that it is now called ‘Area 51’. And the claim is because it is a ‘restricted’ area…and not because of the folks working behind the door. Yeah, right! LOL…

My three things:
1. So very thankful and lucky that my family and friends were not immediately impacted by the two tornadoes yesterday. I was in Beauregard on Saturday. Very close to home for me.

2. Grateful for strong and long lasting friendships.

3. Coffee is a major food group…just saying.

And now, time for D.G.’s Best Books of 2019 List

Hello!

And Happy New Year!

I am a little late getting this to you. Hope you are doing well.

This reading year has been a little tougher for me. I have struggled finding those books that make it hard to put down, that give me all the feels, or just carries me away.

Alas, I have came up with the ones that stand out from 2019 for me.

The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, and The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air series) by Holly Black

I absolutely LOVED this series! Prince Cardan is a straight up BULLY and a Fae to boot! Similar to most bully books, Jude is no pushover and can handle herself. Totally endured the cliffy for more of Cardan and Jude!

Totally loved the writing style, the characters and the whimsical feel. A must read!

The Best Thing by Mariana Zapata

What can I say…she is a one click author for me! Very strong h with a gentle giant for the H. Just love this second chance at love and Mo!

Becoming His Mistress by A.E. Murphy

OK….I know this sounds so forbidden and all kind of ways wrong…but there was a very slow burn. So slow that you kinda fell with her. Not justifying anything but she was not what you would envision as the other woman. I truly feel like he falls for her at a deeper level.

Neither of them set out looking for this relationship but as you move deeper into the book all things are not as they seem.

Pestilence, War (The Four Horseman) by Laura Thalassa

End times with a side of romance…yes, please.

Enemies by Tijan

Because it is Tijan. The h just wants to be invisible. Left to her homework but it doesn’t always work out that way when your enemy comes knocking …

Quiet Man: A Dream Man Novella by Kristen Ashley

again, because it is K.A. and I LOVED the Rock Chicks! So enjoyed Lottie and her quiet man!

Infini: A Standalone Romance (Aerial Ethereal) by Krista Ritchie

I really loved the first book in this series (Amour, Amour). So I was so excited to read this one.

The aerial family is just that a family. So enjoyed visiting with the main characters from the other book and how they banded together.

*HUGS*
