Reader Question… Solved! The book about the angry single dad and the nanny that he’s rude to….

By 9 Comments

Kate needs our book help! JERK HERO ALERT!!

This one *almost* sounds like one of my favorite books of all time by Mariana Zapata (Book Review – Wait for It) but she was the one that had the children (became the guardian to – if I can remember right – her brother’s children after his death).

I know that’s not the one but I LOVE this trope, so I’m dying to know this one. πŸ˜€

She asks:

Help finding a Nanny/Single Dad book

Hey Maryse,

I’ve been dying to find this book I read a while back. I think it was in one of your blog posts. read more

Book Review – Beautifully Cruel by J.T. Geissinger

By 4 Comments

Beautifully Cruel was so often recommended to me because everyone knows my “type” and Liam was 100% IT. No nonsense. A leader. Hard to get. The ultimate bad-ass. I was told it had all of the romantic pining qualities of my past indie favorites, and that I would swoon over this unflinching Hero. Liam.

But that beard. That cover… kept killing it for me. The “hairy face” was just too much and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to develop my crush on this much-loved book boyfriend. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the intimidating guy that saves her from assault at a party…

By 3 Comments

Nicole needs our book help! This one sounds a bit like a past reader question but the assault happened at the party in a room, where she was rescued, so I’m totally curious about this one!

And actually… this scene is totally ringing a bell for me. I’ve read this one before for sure. Now I gotta know!!!!

She asks:

Hi, Maryse!

I was hoping you and your readers can help me find this book.

I think the female lead goes to a party? One night at a guy’s house, and she meets an intimidating guy alone in his room upstairs. She leaves the party, and another dude tries to sexually assault her outside. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the heroine that adopted a dog because he looked like the Hero that left her…

By 3 Comments

AlΕΎbΔ›ta needs our book help! Awwww! This one sounds sweet and kind of sad. Also I love dogs in books. πŸ˜‰ In fact, the one I just read and reviewed had a dog (and he was too funny).

She asks:

Hello,

I have trouble to find a book

The only thing I remember is that the heroine bought/adopted a dog because he was quite similar (black, blue eyes) to the hero (maybe the dog’s name was beast – I am not sure) and she adopted him after the hero left her.

Have a nice day,

Thank you for any tip! read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the girl that waitresses at a bar, and the owner is mean to her at first…

By 4 Comments

Michelle needs our book help! And I LOVE this kind of trope. Reminds me of Sweet Dreams and how the bar owner (Tate!) treated her and what she overheard him say about her. Remember that. ROAR!!!! But boy did that part hook me HARD. And I LOVED that book. P.S. Here’s my review.

Though I don’t think that’s the one she’s looking for, because the heroine in the book she’s looking for is young.

She asks:

Hi,

I read a book a few years ago, I can’t remember the name and it’s not in my bookstore app. read more
