Reader Question… Solved! The book about the girl that works for a very bad guy and her work is to steal some rich guy’s possession in a hotel…

December 19, 2019 By Maryse 4 Comments

Nicki needs our book help! This one sounds exciting and could very well be angsty considering the circumstance… πŸ˜‰

She asks:

Okay, so I’m not sure where to ask but I’m seeing a lot of solved questions here, and I’ve had one for awhile now, so, please help.

I remember a book where the first meeting is at a hotel. She works for a very bad guy and her work is to steal some rich guys possession. Her target’s room is above our hero’s room, who’s there with his friends I think celebrating their honeymoon ??? read more

Reader Recommendations – Our Favorite “Falling In Love With An Assassin” Romance Books

October 16, 2019 By Maryse 8 Comments

SinceΒ J.A. Redmerski’s MUCH LOVED “In the Company of Killers” series is being made into a movie and TV series I’ve had a few requests lately for a list of our favorite assassins romance books!Β 

Robyn: I’m rereading JA Redmerski’s In the Company of Killers series. I am so in love with these books even though I’ve read them so many times. There is just something about assassins and their mates that hook me. I love this trope! We should make a list Maryse!

Stephanie: I would also love to see Maryse create a list of Assassin’s novels because I absolutely loved the Killing Sarai (In the Company of Killers Book 1) Series and haven’t really seen any other series/novels like it. read more

Penelope Sky – Wolf Series Reading Order

July 28, 2019 By Maryse 2 Comments

NEW DARK-SOUNDING, “ARRANGED MARRIAGE/MARITAL STRIFE” TRILOGY ALERT!!! Penelope Sky’s latest!! It sounds dark, tumultuous and fantastic!!

After reading some reviews (I shouldn’t have… but suddenly I’m even more titillated), this author doesn’t shy away from certain… realities. It’s a little controversial for some readers, and yet I suspect for many, this will be right up their alley.Β πŸ˜‰Β Either way, it sounds like this one will make you feel, BIG TIME!!! read more

Reader Question – The book about the mafia guy that burned her house down when she was a child…

July 4, 2019 By Maryse 9 Comments

Kasi is looking for this one! ARRANGED MARRIAGE ALERT and it could very well be infuriating!!

She asks:

Umm I found this feed where someone was looking for a book on someone else’s behalf and even I got interested in the plot.

I don’t think there are any spoiler’s tho but if there are any please forgive me in advance

The plot from what that person remembers goes like this:

He burns her house down with her father in it as a child. He’s a bad man and a mafia boss. She’s placed in an asylum until 18 when she’s forced into marriage to the new bosses son. read more
