Reader Question – The new book about the second chance romance with her ex-husband…

By 4 Comments

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE SEARCH!! This reader question is a little vague, but certainly allows us the opportunity to make a “similar genre” list. 😉 I’m so thrilled she asked!!! 😀

Meagan asks:

Hey Maryse!

I’m hoping you can help me out.

I’m looking for a book that I read the blurb of a few weeks ago and I believe it was releasing at the end of February maybe?

All I can remember is that it’s a second chance romance and that they were married once so the hero is her ex-husband! It sounded so good but now I can’t find it on Goodreads!

Thanks!

Maryse: I’m going to start with the latest one that caught MY attention in this similar vein. In fact, I think it was announced in February (and only the Dane’s Storm audiobook is live right now). The book-book is available for preorder. I’m thinking you’re looking for this one? Dane’s Storm by Mia Sheridan?

Anyone else have a guess? Let’s make a list! 😀

Sarah: Is it Broken Miles (The Miles Family Series Book 1) by Claire Kingsley? I just read the blurb about that in the March 9th releases.

Jessica: An older one that’s amazing is The Road Back to Us By K Webster.

Meagan: It’s Dane’s Storm! Thank you so much!!!!

Maryse: YAYAYYYY!!! Another one solved, and this is one I want to read badly!! 😀

  

Tara Sivec – The Naughty Princess Club Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

TARA SIVEC ALERT!!
<— Hilarious author with steamy romance, and how can we possibly resist this one? Plus, book #2 AND #3 are already up for preorder! 😀

Leslie M: New Tara Sivec series?!? Gimme gimme!!!

About book #1:

Once upon a time Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the President of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money…and the babysitter.

Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo.

But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince that has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after? At the Stroke of Midnightis a hilarious, empowering story where princesses can save themselves while slaying in stilettos.

 

Terri Blackstock – If I Run Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

These book covers haunt me, and I just know these books will, too. And book #3 was just released, so that means the trilogy is complete!!! Bring on the cliffhangers! We’re safe. 😉
About book #1:

Casey Cox’s DNA is all over the crime scene. There’s no use talking to police; they’ve failed her abysmally before. She has to flee before she’s arrested . . . or worse. The truth doesn’t matter anymore.
But what is the truth? That’s the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey. PTSD has marked him damaged goods, but bringing Casey back can redeem him. Though the crime scene seems to tell the whole story, details of the murder aren’t adding up.
Casey Cox doesn’t fit the profile of a killer. But are Dylan’s skewed perceptions keeping him from being objective? If she isn’t guilty, why did she run?
Unraveling her past and the evidence that condemns her will take more time than he has, but as Dylan’s damaged soul intersects with hers, he is faced with two choices: the girl who occupies his every thought is a psychopathic killer . . . or a selfless hero. And the truth could be the most deadly weapon yet.

BARGAINS & READER RECOMMENDATIONS (NOTE: bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order.)

Nay: OMG, Maryse–I just finished a read-fest with At This Moment and the following two books, which is an epic saga about a rock star and the love of his life spanning 25 years. Talk about being put through the wringer and having your guts ripped out, chewed up and stomped on. That’s what this series did to me and I LOVED every minute of it! It was also VERY well written and edited. I’d be a happy, happy girl if I could read a series like this once a month!
Tessa: Yesterday, the library had Abbi Glines’ After the Game. I literally stopped what I was reading to read it. Seriously good, with my only complaint being his “issue” seemed added for him to have one. Still, I loved it.
  • Beartown: A Novel by Fredrik Backman <— BACK ON THE LIST ’cause Tracie recommends this one too!
Tracie: Beartown was hands down my favorite book of last year. I cannot wait for the second to come out this summer.
Susan: I just finished LJ Shen’s Midnight Blue last week and I loved it. It was a solid 4.5 for me. It was definitely angsty.
  • Love and Decay Series by Rachel Higginson <— ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS & I haven’t even read this series yet. But JulieO recommends it!
JulieO: …love her Love And Decay series! I think Hendrix is hot. Would always want him by my side.

Reader Question – The book that looks so good, but we're not sure if it's a standalone…

By 1 Comment

I’m afraid to read the blurb or run into spoilers by accident, so I’m posting this reader question in case anybody here knows the answer… Michelle wants to read this one badly but is it a standalone?

She asks:

Hey Maryse!!

I was wondering if you could help me with a book question.
I just saw a book in my newsfeed that looks sooooo good but it says it’s book 3 in the series.

I was wondering if it could be read as a stand-alone. I’m already in the middle of another series, but I can’t get this book out of my head.

It’s Taken (Traded Book 3) by Rebecca Brooke.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 Anyone know?

Amy: It can be read as a standalone. But it is about a family so reading the other books might be helpful.

Booklady: I have read books 1 and 2 in the series (Traded & House Rules). Each one of those were the stories of two brothers in the same family, but they could have worked as standalone. I just read a little of the sample for book 3 and see that the beginning is related to something that happened on book 1. I think that you could read book 3 as a standalone though because authors always give some background information.
