Reader Question… Solved! The book where they go to college together, she’s a DJ and he’s an athlete, and they play pranks on each other…

Ash needs our book help! New adult college romance and it sounds pretty hilarious (almost like something from the “Off Campus” series that I love so much).

She asks:

I read this novel around 2016 to 2018.

In the novel both the hero and heroine study in the same college and are sarcastic and witty. The heroine is a DJ in a nightclub and likes the bartender there. The hero is an athlete and in hockey or some team.

The heroine’s brother is not very confident person and plays in the same team as the hero. The heroine and the hero have a war of pranks going on where she first throws a taco restaurant garbage in his car and then he makes his friend Jason, who is a proper christian and a mechanic, steal her tires. read more

Jessica has a new reader question for us! Oooooh I especially love moody heroes that resist and reject the heroine at first. Makes me soooooo mad!!! LOL!

And…. I submitted my own guess, and even if it’s wrong, it’s a MUST-READ if you haven’t read it yet. You’ll LOVE IT!

She asks:

Looking for book I once read a few years back;

young heroine new in town fleeing past, snowy weather, meets hero in bar- he may be owner vs bartender. He is mean to her, but secretly attracted; they fight constantly. read more

Beth G is looking for this one and I do love grumpy heroes, so I am ALL ears for this one!! And that kitten scene she describes made my heart melt!!!! 😀

She asks:

Hey guys!

Hope you’re not going quarantine crazy yet 🙂

Now, this book’s an old one. I read back in the early-mid 2000s I believe it was the first book my mum told me to read as a kid and started my book addiction.

It’s a dual perspective book between mum and daughter. Mum is dealing with empty nest syndrome after daughter goes to university, gets a job in a bar I think and meets and falls for the grumpy owner. read more

Tracey is looking for this series!

Her question reminded me of “Sweet Dreams” but I know who the owner is in that book, so instead, I’m submitting a different guess.

When Tracey mentioned the “pregnant bar owner” detail in her question brings to mind one that I enjoyed a few years ago, and totally has this feel (though I can’t remember the exact details or even if she owned the bar but I do remember a pregnant character in the bar and the new girl in town DOES get a job in the local bar). It was From Dust (Portland, ME, novels Book 1) by Freya Barker (and it is a series!) read more

Reader Question – The book where she’s at a nightclub and stumbles and is caught by the nightclub owner.

Rhonda needs our book help!! And!! She mentions this one is super-angsty (YAY US!!). I’ve read a few where the heroine falls for a nightclub owner, but I don’t think I’ve read this one.

She asks:

It is set in Miami and she is blonde who goes out to a nightclub where her best guy friend is a bartender.  She stumbles and is caught by the nightclub owner.

Later she sees him at lunch with her boss.  She sells high-end condos.  He is Hispanic and… read more
