Gretchen is looking for this one! And I know Gretchen properly spoilered out the very part of my subject line to protect us, but that’s the part that makes me wanna read it most!!! LOL! So I had to make it the main focus. 😛

She asks:

Hi!

I need help finding a book I read a while back and I cannot remember the name or find it anywhere on my kindle.

It’s a fake marriage situation and he is her best friend’s brother. He needs to clean up his image for a business deal I think? She needs money to help save her parent’s house. It was a plantation home if I remember right. read more

Nicole Snow – Marriage Mistake Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

Marital strife, arranged marriages & fake relationships are so fun. Er… IN BOOKS!! Always and only in books. 😉 I love when two strangers are forced to not only get to know each other, but attempt to get along, or when things go awry as they try to figure out the next step. Together… or apart.

And here’s a series that looks right up our angsty romance alley (and a new book just went LIVE today!!)

About book #1:

Accidentally engaged. Then he dared me to make it real.

It was one freaking kiss with a stranger.
I wasn’t looking for a hero the day Brent Eden charged into my life.
He saw a damsel in distress facing humiliation.
We played pretend. Swore I was his. Baited sweet chaos.
Blew apart everything. read more

Reader Question – We’re still looking for the answer for these two “guess-the-book” questions…

Let’s try again, shall we? 😉

We’re still looking for the answers to these two reader questions, and Carolinn made a special request that I repost these. I am SO happy to, ’cause 1.) I’m right there with her, on how awesome these two sound… and 2.) I’d love for every question to have an answer. 😉

She asks:

I have found 2 posted reader questions from earlier this year that seemed to describe really interesting books but they haven´t been solved. I understand that not all will be solved but because they seem so interesting, in case you are going to repost and try again. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the heroine that doesn’t realize she’s in an arranged marriage…

Barbara is looking for this one!! Oooooh THIS one sounds good and infuriating!!! I haven’t read much historical romance in my reading life, but perhaps you know this one?

She asks:

Hi!

I forgot the name of a book, it’s historical romance, I don’t know if you guys read a lot of HR around here, but I hope you can help me!

It’s about an arranged marriage that the heroine doesn’t know it’s arranged, so she innocently thinks the hero is in love with her and it was a love match … So she is very sweet to the hero at first, but when she finds out the truth, she changes her attitude towards him, continuing the marriage out of duty. He sees the change in her and starts missing his passionate wife and wants to make up. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the girl that met the brother of the guy she killed years before…

Iza needs our book help! GASP!!! Her description sort of reminded of that book that I loved, The Female of the Species, but she gives us more information that tells me my guess is definitely not the one.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

First of all,thank you for your site. I always depend on your review for the next book i’m going to read.

I’m trying to find a book.

All i remember is the h went with her friend inside a tent with a group of guys for fun. The h accidentally killed one of a guy with a knife when he attempted to inflict pain on her while having sex. read more
