Reader Recommendations – Our favorite “bad boy turned lover boy” (like Travis Maddox) books…

By 5 Comments

Ahhhhhh LOOKIT WHAT WE HAVE!!! A brand spanking new Travis Maddox super-fan. 😀 Rebaica has just discovered the wonder of Beautiful Disaster and has fallen in love with my original ultimate book boyfriend Travis (btw… he’s still MINE!!) 😉 and she’s needing more like him.

She asks:

Maryse!!!!!!

I am soooo happy I found your blog!!!!

Honestly, I am surrounded by these pseudo-intellectuals who judge me for being a sappy-romantic-pining-novel lover but I read some of your reviews and now I know there are more people like me. read more

Book Review – Devastated by R.L. Mathewson

By 8 Comments

Devastated (Anger Management Book 1) <— P.S. It’s going live in just a couple of days – 10-25-19!!!

When R.L. Mathewson sent me an early review copy of her latest release “Devastated” she included a warning. Just as the moody cover (and title) portray, she told me this one was somewhat darker (or more serious in nature) than her amazing comedy romances that we’ve gone so crazy for in the past.

So, I was fretting. Why? ‘Cause her love stories are totally my kind of “comedy romance”. Witty and gleeful and believable. She (er… I mean… her characters) are absolutely hilarious. From their quick-witted remarks and thought processes, to some of their not-so-smart fumbles and mistakes (that end up being amusing anyway), her books have me grinning, laughing and exhilarated. read more

Casey is looking for this book. GASP!!!!!!! That title says it all. 😉 HOLY. MOLY. But I don’t think I’ve read it. Have you?

She asks:

I read a book about a high school aged girl who used to play piano, but quit because her father had an affair with her best friend.

Her next door neighbor was a bad boy love interest, her dad took down the basketball goal because it made too much noise.

Please help me! It’s driving me crazy, and I want to read it again. It was awesome!

Thank you! read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the famous actor that loses his memory…

By 3 Comments

Jessica has one for us to help her look for! Oh I love this famous actor/regular girl stories, and this one sounds like it has an added oomph to it! Could it be a sort of… bully-to-good guy book? 😀

She asks:

Does anyone remember the name of the book where the H is a famous actor and loses his memory in an accident?

And the assistant is the h who hated him at first because he was so awful to work for.

But after the accident he becomes a better person?

Anyone have a guess?

Reader Recommendations – Looking for book recommendations featuring cruel, abusive yet redeemable book heroes…

By 5 Comments

Kayla is looking for recommendations, and while I have a bunch of lists that fit this genre, I’m opening it back up so we can add more.

She asks:

Hi!

I’m a HUGE fan of cruel heroes (even abusive/borderline abusive heroes) who are redeemable in the end.

I love

Given the above authors/style/romance preference, can you recommend any new authors or books that I haven’t listed that feature mean/cruel/abusive yet redeemable heroes? I’m NOT a fan of historical romance. I’m open to paranornal. My favorite is contemporary I guess. read more
