Reader Question – Solved! The book about the guy that decides on who to give a rose, to β€œjumpstart” her popularity.

By 10 Comments

Mharis needs our book help! Older YA and dark romance lovers… I bet you’ll know this one!! I definitely have not read it yet…

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

I’ve read this book and I can’t remember the title.

All I can remember was they were highschool students and a guy decides on who to give this rose to β€œjumpstart” her popularity. If I remember correctly, the guys have sex with whomever the rose is given to. The hero is an athlete, soccer I think. It’s dark and angsty.

That’s it. I can’t remember the title. I’m into teen angst right now and I want to revisit that book again. read more

Nicole is looking for this book! And YESSS I LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH!!! In fact, Nicole figured out what book it was, and answered her very own question, but I thought I’d post it in case someone here wants to read it. It is FANTASTIC!

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I’m still trying to find that book! It’s really bothering me because I’m dying to know what happens.

It’s about a woman who drives away from her abusive husband(?) with her friend(?). She’s covered in blood. They stop at a bar in the middle of nowhere and eventually start working there. read more

Book Review – About Her by Kimberly Adams

By 6 Comments

ABOUT HER
<— Cover jolt, blurb jolt, title jolt annnnnnd totally up-my-alley jolt. It’s a psych-thriller, sure (and I know not everyone can relate to those), but it’s one about a love story gone wrong (which, in many circumstances, is very relatable). πŸ˜‰

Woman scorned and all that. You’ll see…

I mean, how could I possible resist this blurb?

I did what was best for me and the kids.Β I moved on.Β He lied, and cheated, and destroyed our family, but in the end I won.Β And now, I’m faced with a choice. read more

Reader Question – The book about the mistreated girl who met the hero and spent a few days together at his condo…

Claire has TWO reader questions for us today, so I’m separating them into two posts. πŸ˜€

The first one, she asks:

Hi, Maryse!!

I’ve been following your blog for a few years now and it’s really wonderful that you are so interactive with readers like me.
I was wondering if you and other readers out there could help me in finding these two books I’ve been wondering about lately.

1.) It’s about this girl, the heroine, who has been mistreated by her family even going as far as claiming her as β€˜crazy’ and forcing her to attend a mental hospital. read more
