Reader Question… Solved! The book where they are happily married and have children but she knows her husband is gay…

By 3 Comments

Aaliyah is looking for this one. Awwww this one sounds loving!!

She asks:

Hi

I’m looking for this following book.

H is gay but married his best friend (female). She knows he is gay. They have 3 children (I think), now all grown up/ go uni and college. The wife has a younger boyfriend which H knows all about and is happy for them. H falls for his new business partner.

The wife is supportive of this relationship. Some photos get leaked to one of the kids that their father is gay so the parents get together to explain the whole situation to the kids who are surprisingly understanding. H and wife divorce, get together with their respective partners.

I read this book quite recently but can’t remember the name of it.

Thanks

Anyone have a guess?

Emily: An Exaltation of Larks (Venery Book 1). This is not it, but similar. But the husband is confused.

Melissa: Secret by Kindle Alexander?

Aaliyah: Thank you. That’s exactly the book I was looking for.

Maryse: YAY!!! Another one solved. Thank you Melissa!! 😀

Reader Question – The book where he’s only marrying her because she’s pregnant but she thinks he loves her…

By 11 Comments

Abigail is looking for this one! Oh you guys!!!!! This one is a total grovel one!! My trope catnip for sure (especially if I feel her pain and pining throughout).

She asks:

Hello Maryse!

I’m looking for a book where…

H/h are planning to get married because h is preggers and H feels it’s his duty (although h thinks it’s for 🥰 ).

Family/friends are not happy (she’s not the right type, family friend would be better choice), try to talk H out of marrying h because she’s obviously after his $$. Shortly before wedding h becomes ill and there’s a trip to the ER. H arrives and thinks h has had a miscarriage which she deliberately caused because he hears a conversation between nurses.

He proceeds to tell her that he was only marrying her for his child’s sake and now that she’s deliberately unalived his child he’s not marrying her.  That he’s glad he found out before the marriage what a bwitch she was. H doesn’t go back to hospital.

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

When h is released Dr. tells her she needs to come back for a follow-up just to be sure everything is ok and although she sets up the appt, which she doesn’t keep.  H is contacted and he finds out that the convo he overheard was not about her and she is still pregnant.

H also finds out that h had no need for his $$ as her brother is richer than H.

There is a HEA after much groveling.

Anyone have a guess?

Melinda: What is this book need to read it

Sierra: Still not solved yet 😔

Anne: This sounds so good. I’m going to post other places cause I need it

Jo: This sounds so good!

Cassie: I have read this book, its a Harlequin novel. I know I have it in my library, I will search for it.

Allison: Did you find it?

Christine: I’m also desperate for this book!

Cassie: I am still working on it, I am so sorry. I will get it to you as soon as I find it.

Allison: Did you find it?

Christine: I’m also desperate for this book!

Cassie: I am still working on it, I am so sorry. I will get it to you as soon as I find it.

Rookreturns: Any updates?? I desperately need to read it

Cassie: I have not found the book I am thinking it is. I did remember in the book I am thinking she was originally carrying twins and the miscarriage that they thought happened was just one and she was still pregnant. Is that in this story as well or am I thinking a different book with similar plot.

Christine: I’ll read that one too if you let us know what it is! 🙂

Cassie: I think I found it. Or one very similar the doctors runaway bride.

Abigail: I’ve checked out the book and unfortunately it’s not the one I’m searching for. The H in the summary is not a Dr. while the H from the book is 🙁

I’m also still actively looking. Thank you though for the help.

K.F. Breene – Deliciously Dark Fairytales Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

FANTASY ROMANCE LOVERS!!! BOOK #5 IS UP FOR PREORDER! P.S. These book covers have me!!

About book #1:

I could save him, but he would ruin me.

The beast. The creature that stalks the forbidden wood. The dragon prince. He has suffered a fate worse than death. We all have. A curse put upon us by the mad king.

We are a kingdom locked in time. Shifters unable to feel our animals. Stuck here by a deal between the late king and a demon who seeks our destruction.

The only one keeping this kingdom alive is Nyfain, the golden prince to a stolen throne. The last dragon shifter. He’s our hope. He’s my nightmare. When he catches me trespassing in the forbidden wood, he doesn’t punish me with death, as he’s entitled. He takes me, instead. Forces me back to the castle as his prisoner. Seeks to use me.

Apparently, I can save him. I can save the whole forgotten kingdom, locked away by the demon king’s power. But it would mean taming the monster beneath his skin. It would mean giving myself to him. It would mean my ruin.
_ _ _ _ _ _

This is a dark and spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring an anti-hero, a strong heroine, and a humorous supporting cast. This is an enemies-to-lovers and possible fated mates story suitable for 18+. It’s the first of a trilogy, ending on a cliffhanger.
