Reader Favorites – MichelleS’s Best Books of 2020 List

January 17, 2021 By Maryse 1 Comment

MichelleS has had a rough year, but she’s here again, and we’re thrilled!!! And despite the stress and focus issues, she’s put together her favorites list for us. πŸ˜€

Here are some MichelleS 2020 comment highlights:

I have several little voodoo doll keepsakes from vacations. They’re just too cute. But, yeah, try explaining that at a doctor’s office. LOL.

I use scissors to cut up green onions (after washing) right on top of what I need, or in what I need.

I adore Stevie Nicks, so a good rock and roll story that has the same β€œfeeling” as all that Fleetwood Mac drama might be worth a look.

So far, so good on my β€œbuddy plant” that I ran out and got at Wal Mart after Maryse’s post. But I’m afraid to re-pot it. That’s when I lose them. So it’s sitting in its original container, inside a pretty pot. As far as care goes… I always use Miracle Grow sticks. You just stick them in the dirt, and forget about them. Seem to work!

Howdy y’all. Hope you are all well and staying home. I have officially not been out of the house for 15 days. I stocked up, and have been hunkering down. If I get it now, it’s someone else’s fault (I;m taking to you, hubby). Work has been exhausting. My school district decided to go full on eLearning on day one back from Spring Break. I’m pooped. Hardly had time to read.

And now… her 2020 favorites!

Well howdy from Texas y’all!

Three things:

1.) I am ALIVE and have survived 2020 and Covid. It was a CRAZY year (changed jobs and so so much more).

2.) My taste in books hasn’t changed one bit. I still love Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Historical Romance, and then I like to throw in others just for fun.

3.) I have missed you all terribly. I feel horrible for having stayed away for so long. I will try to β€œcatch myself up”. I just want to know that all my book buddies have survived 2020. Mark yourselves safe!

I saw my best of 2019 list and it inspired me to make a best of 2020 list. I read a lot of books, but these are the ones I remember:

The Life You Stole Books 1 & 2 by Jewel E Ann <—Β Jewel E Ann has become a one-click author for me. I have loved everything she writes.

MichelleS: Finished The Life That Mattered, by Jewel E Ann, late last night. 5 stars!! Thank god the follow up releases this week. I love everything she writes. I am in love with Ronin Alexander. I have a dozen ideas where this might go, and I’m sure I’m wrong on all counts! This is probably a good time to throw some peanuts… Maryse…. read Jack and Jill series. You will NOT be disappointed.

House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City Book 1)Β  by Sarah J. Maas <—Β Sarah J Maas is a favorite of mine. I love this new series as much as her others. She just really delivers for fans of fantasy.

MichelleS: Love her writing. Two of my favorite series EVER. Kick ass heroines, strong secondary characters, plot twists. And it’s over 800 pages. I’m a happy camper.

The Magicsmith series (3 books)Β by LR Braden <—Β So much to love here if you are a fan of urban fantasy.

MichelleS: The Magicsmith Series, by LR Braden. 3 books so far. Gobbled them up. So much like Mercy Thompson. Seriously!! You will not be disappointed.

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah <—Β Wanted to read this based on feedback from others. It didn’t disappoint. I still remember it, and that’s always a good thing. I don’t read that much contemporary or women’s fiction, but this was a good one.

Smoke Bitten by Patricia Briggs (Mercedes Thompson Book 12) <—Β When is Mercy not going to make my list? Hopefully never. This series is still going strong. My all time favorite Urban Fantasy series.

Golden Eagle (Sons of Rome 4) by Lauren Gilley <—Β This is such a great series. If you love paranormal, you have got to read this series. The characters, the writing… just wow.

From Blood & AshΒ andΒ A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout andΒ Wicked Trilogy by Jennifer Armentrout <—Β I needed A LOT of fantasy to get through 2020. Ms Armentrout always delivers.

The Atlantis World (Origins Mystery)Β by AG Riddle <—Β This has been on my TBR list for so long. With all out β€œdown time’ in 2020, I decided to get to it. I read the first two in the trilogy. I WILL read the last book. It is just a commitment.

Brothersong by TJ Klune <—Β Yay! TJ Klune and revisiting the Bennets…. So it was great for me. Nothing will come close to Wolfsong for me, but I love where the story went and revisiting old friends.

Hell Theory 1 and 2 by Lauren Gilley <—Β This woman can write. I am such a huge fan. One click.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens <—Β Every year I have that ONE BOOK that everyone has read (but me) and I finally get around to it late in the year. This was it. It was soooooo good. It reminds me that I need to get out of my comfort zone more often.

Reader Question – The book about the pregnant heroine and her biker Hero who was actually married to someone else…

January 17, 2021 By Maryse 3 Comments

Caitlin is looking for this book! A biker book with lots of secrets for the poor heroine to uncover. Oh it sounds like it’s going to be all SORTS of trouble.

She asks:

I can’t remember the name of a book and might be a small series from a few years ago, and it’s so frustrating!

It was an erotic romance mc biker theme type.

The heroine is a women who has one or maybe two children (she might get pregnant with him and have the second later on after reconnecting) with a man who she doesn’t know is planted in her life by her father who I think faked his death.

The hero, her love interest, is one of his club members and she of course has no idea who he really is, only for him to disappear one day.

The heroines father who faked his death is now I believe the president or a high ranking member of this MC and is in a gay relationship with another member in the mc.

The heroine finds things out… tracks him down…he is later unhappily remarried to someone he doesn’t love and the heroine is furious and I think pregnant with his baby. She also has a close and sweet friendship with the hero’s brother.

Also there’s an element of danger as to why all the lies and secrecy (disappearing and faked deaths) etc but I can’t remember what, I’m guessing a rival club though predictably?

Can anybody please help?! I can’t get it out of my head.

Anyone have a guess?

Sharon: Hopelessly Shattered: (Sacred Sinners MC – Texas Chapter)

Maryse: YESSSS!!! I had a feeling it was a Bink Cummings book (and I think we had a similar question for this book in the past). πŸ˜€

Heather: Prepare to lose your mind. Finished both and my soul is raw. One of the best duet’s I’ve ever read. Okay, maybe THE best duet I’ve ever read… and I’ve read A LOT!!!!

Michele G: I’m not kidding y’all…run…don’t walk…and snag Flock …Major book hangover…*sigh*

Marissa: It’s incredible!!

Layne: Completely agree! It was amazing. I couldn’t put it down!

Traci: Flock and Exodus were two of my favorites of 2020. Gave me that old school Indie vibe. Book 3 (which was supposed to be an extended epilogue) is out on 1/28. It’s Called The Finish Line. Book two doesn’t have a
Cliffhanger.

  • Blind Trust: The Trust Series Book One by A.F. Presson <— LIVE!! SHE CAN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING BUT SHE HAS NIGHTMARES… “...Recalling only her near-death experience and the stranger that rescued her, she must focus on healing and remembering the life she once lived.Β Suffering brutal nightmares and horrific flashbacks, she clings to Alex, the wealthy businessman that rescued her from the water. Making the decision to move forward, she opens herself up to the idea of starting over on the island with Alex.Β While his protective and caring nature comforts her insecurities, her troubled heart is a different story...”

  • The Anatomical Shape of a Heart by Jenn Bennett <— RECOMMENDATION FROM A RECENT FAVORITES LIST, and Ashley LOVED IT!! So it’s back on the list. πŸ˜€

Ashley: I read Anatomical Shape of a Heart yesterday at my infusion and omg! Best book I’ve read in so long!! I absolutely loved it and it’s somehow a new to me author even though this book is from 2015, so I’ve downloaded her other books! Yay! ️️️ I love this blog and group of women!

bev: The Anatomical Shape of a Heart…Β This book though is present day San Francisco. What I’m really liking about her writing is how descriptive she is and good at it. Yet, not overly detailed. The MCs were just in a book store talking and I could totally imagine it and them. I love visual books, if that makes sense. But again its not pages of description.

  • The Way the Story Goes (Magnolia Sound Book 7) by Samantha Chase <β€” HER NOISY NEIGHBOR!! β€œ...Thriller writer Mia Kingsley has been hit with a serious case of writer’s block and she needs a little peace and quiet.
