Reader Question… Solved! The Reverse Harem book where she’s in a secret gang, and they call her Wolf.

By 7 Comments

Mannat has another reader question for us! I’m not well-versed in reverse harem, but I know we have some mega fans of the genre here! 😀

She asks:

I am trying to find a reverse harem book but can’t remember the title.

I know the heroine goes to an academy and she knows how to fight and has killed people. She is like one of the seat holders in a secret gang and they call her wolf.

These people have small diamonds, each person has a unique color, and if you hand one out to someone you owe them a favor.

One of the guys was in a band or wrote music.

She becomes bffs with one of the guys sister and all of them don’t like her in the first book.

Does anyone remember?

Anyone have a guess?

Bec: Hi, 100% sure book 1 is Resurrection, by Siobhan Davis. Part of the The Sainthood – Boys of Lowell High Series.

Megan: I think the book is called Just Drop Out: Hannaford Prep Year One by J Bree 🙂 x

Nina: I’m actually reading the series now. Sooooo good. You guessed right Megan.

Mannat: yes!! thank you so much! It is “Just Drop Out“

Maryse: YAY!!! Another one solved and two GREAT guesses!! Thanks guys!! 😀

About book #1:

Cecilia Lyons escapes her sordid past by moving to Orlando and reinventing herself. Staying clean is challenging enough, but she’s challenged further when she catches the eye of the sexiest deejay in Orlando. Desperately, she wants to tell Brock her secret, but telling him would taint his view of her.

It’s been years since she’s had a healthy relationship, and the more time she spends with Brock, the harder she falls for him. To protect her heart, she keeps her secret.

Brock Sullivan trusts very few people. Abandoned by his mother and tragically losing his first love, he puts little faith in women. When he meets Cecilia, he is unprepared for their overwhelming attraction. Not only is she a habit he doesn’t want to break, being with her forces him to rethink his beliefs.

Even when he learns the worst about Cecilia, he can’t stay away. But when push comes to shove, will Brock be able to keep her safe?

Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 09-28-2020

By 14 Comments

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!! 16 new releases and quite a few that sound great (like that one there to the left!!) JEWEL E. ANN’s latest!!!! Out of Love is a standalone novel in the highly-acclaimed Jack & Jill Series, and blurb jolt for sure!

Harper: Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann is about Livy, Jackson Knight’s daughter!!!! I’m about 50% in and loving it so much! Jessica/Jillian was one of the best characters I have ever read and her niece is proving to be just as good.

THREE THINGS:

1.) One of my white bird of paradise plants that I just bought last week lost its mind!! It popped right off of its root ball and fell over. WHAT??? So I picked it back up, all of the leaves intact and perfectly clustered at the base, and plugged it right back in to the potting soil, and then… I covered up the root ball that it used to live on, and now I’m hoping for the best. That either one of these two pieces lives. Maybe the huge leave structure will sprout its own roots and continue growing? Oh please let that be what happens! And maybe the now-naked root ball under the soil decides to spout a new plant? Also… oh please that be what happens!

2.) I didn’t do any plant-related things this weekend, even though I was tempted. I took it easy and treated myself to take-out from Texas Roadhouse. 😉 I do love that prime rib!!! Prime rib is my favorite.

3.) L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Makeup Lash Paradise Mascara <— STILL ON SALE! NOT BOOK RELATED but this is my absolute FAVORITE mascara ever in the whole wide world, and it’s on sale right now (not sure for how long so I jumped on it)!!!

Kate: Nice I havent tried this one before but I swear by L’Oreal for mascara I’ll buy high end and just never like it as much as L’Oreal.

LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE :D !!!

and…

  1. Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann <— Jewel E. Ann – Author’s LATEST IS LIVE!!!!!! She goes to college and she meets HIM (with rumors)… “…Since when have I shied away from trouble? Slade fascinates me. He lives in a house I’m certain is haunted. His dog is trained as well as any guard I’ve ever seen. Rumor on campus is that he deals drugs. It would explain a lot. But it doesn’t explain why he saves me from my darkest moment. It doesn’t explain why I can’t stop thinking about him.  And the explanation I finally discover is far more dangerous than any rumor…“

Reno: I am OBSESSED with Jewel E. Ann, my new favorite author. I’ve devoured Transcend, Epoch, Fortuity, the entire Jack & Jill series and am currently reading One, all in the last two weeks. Her writing style is effortless and her characters are real, flawed and simply beautiful. She is truly amazing folks.

Do yourselves a favor and read her! I’m sure you’ll adore any of her books. I haven’t been disappointed yet. I can’t wait to start Out of Love next… ❤️💕

  1. Last Beautiful Girl (Magnolia Sound Book 6) by Samantha Chase <— SUDDENLY A MOM ALERT!! “...Sydney wasn’t prepared to become a mom overnight. When she loses her sister and brother-in-law in a tragic accident, she moves back home to become the caregiver for her heart broken niece. It is no surprise to her when the small town rallies to offer support to one of their own. However, that doesn’t make Kyle showing up on her doorstep any less jarring. While Kyle claims he is only there to help, Sydney is instantly on edge. Not only did she vow never to fall for him again, but his timing couldn’t be worse…”

Added to that was the teensy, infinitesimal fact that she is what’s called a charmling. One of three on the entire planet. And there are other witches who will stop at nothing to steal her immense power, which would basically involve her unfortunate and untimely death. No one told her life after forty would mean having to learn new lifeskills…”

She takes every precaution to meet her sexy vamp in secret, but when a vandal around town starts targeting vampire businesses, she fears her family might have found her out…”

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the arranged marriage because he has shares in her father’s business…

By 4 Comments

Mannat needs our book help! DARK ROMANCE… and I am absolutely clueless on this one!

She asks:

Hello,

I am trying to find a book but can’t remember the title or author.

I know that the heroine goes to visit her ex-husbands mom in the hospital after she gets heart surgery and she goes because she doesn’t think her ex-husband with show. He does show and she tries to avoid him but she ends up going back to his mothers cabin with him because of a storm.

They hook up and she thinks that the end.

Her father had warned her not to marry him and her father and her did not have a good relationship but they got close and made up after she left him and a few months before her father died.

The ex-husband manages to get some of the shares of their business due to the heroines sisters bad business move and she agrees to “be his” if they get the business back.

It was kind of a dark read.

I think the eldest sister names her daughter pearl or something.

If you guys know which book this is please let me know.

Do you have a guess?

Ria: Bitter Heat by Mia Knight.

Natalie: I just read this! It’s Bitter Heat by Mia Knight! Ends in a cliff hanger and the next isn’t out yet.

Mannat: yes! Thats it! Thank you so much!

Maryse: YAY!!! Another one solved. That was QUICK and this sounds pretty great. Thanks guys!

Marni Mann – Moments in Boston Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

<— IT’S NOW A SERIES!!!! So many here went CRAZY for this super-angsty sounding one, and now another book is up for preorder! 😀 About the upcoming book, the author says:

This series will be tied together in a unique way—except I can’t tell you why. As you know, I’m the queen of twists and giving that answer would spoil all the fun, so you’re just going to have to wait and see what I have planned for you all.

When We Met has been brewing in my brain for a long time and here’s what I can promise: this book is a complete stand-alone novel (you don’t have to read When Ashes Fall first), you might see some familiar faces from When Ashes Fall throughout the series … and I’m absolutely going to blow your mind AND your hearts with this story.

And our crew LOVED book #1!!!

Jenn: You will all have to forgive me as I am totally in a book that just GUTTED me so what is the book…I was sucked in right from the beginning with the first (4) lines of the book. …When Ashes Fall-Marni Mann

Lisa: I have so much love for When Ashes Fall right now. That book owned me. I opened it intending to just get started, since I was at work, and the next thing I know it’s 7 hours later and I’m making enough unladylike crying noises at my desk that my co-worker had to come check on me!!! It’s a gut-wrenching, yet beautiful story. It will break your heart, but also mend it. It is not safe for those averse to Marmies…but it is also NOT about cheating. I had such a visceral reaction to the storyline when it all came together for me.

Michele G: I have to second everything Lisa just said about When Ashes Fall. We buddy read it…well Lisa inhaled it…then I inhaled it…now we are waiting for Jenn…then Renee…and so on…

On a serious note, GO IN BLIND! Do avoid it if you don’t like heartbreakers….because I could have buzzed through a case of tissues (no lie). Don’t avoid it for any other reason…there’s really no cheating or anything else that folks might be worried about. It’s a beautiful and unique story. It is written in multiple POV’s (and time periods) which I know Renee is not digging and I confess that I had to get used to it myself at first too …but it really does lend itself to the story. Get in there ladies and read it!!

Jenn: I finished “When Ashes Fall” last night and I HIGHLY recommend this one, the words will move you, the characters will welcome you, and the journey they take you on will be unforgettable! 5+ STARS for me!

Michele G: …you know how I feel about When Ashes Fall…so much love!

Rae: ❤️ fabulous book. Great news about the series.

Maryse: …you guys are KILLING me wanting to read “When Ashes Fall” SO BADLY!!!!

About book #1:

It’s been said that you can’t love two men at the same time.
You can’t split your heart, soul, and body in half.
But I’m here to tell you, you can.
Dylan Cole is like ice, sharp and unpredictable, the thunder inside a tumultuous storm.
Smith Reid is warmth, soft and gentle, perfect like a sunny day.
Both are mine.
But I can have only one.
There are two sides to this tale.
I’m here to tell you mine.
If you think this story is about a cheater, you couldn’t be more wrong.
