Reader Question – The book about the orderly that saw her eating chocolate pudding in her hospital bed with her finger…

By 4 Comments

Vanessa is looking for this one! She gives us some AMAZING detail and it sounds like an incredibly heartwarming read (and quite a little shock of a spoiler that makes me want to read it) but I will spoiler-alert for you so you don’t see it if you don’t want to. 😉

She asks:

Hey Maryse!

I’m trying to find the name of a book for a friend. I know I have it amongst my thousands of books but I haven’t had any luck. Maybe you could help.

The girl was in the hospital because she had heart problems. Her Dr was her uncle, I believe that her mom was in love with but refused to date because he was her Dr. read more

A. E. Murphy – Broken Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

Oh WOW this one sounds so unique! and angsty and WOW!! And he’s got a phobia and now I’m SO intrigued!!!!

rominew: …one of my faves is BROKEN by A.E. Murphy. It’s gripping, with many twists and the author described the pain the main character was going through in such a way that I couldn’t help but feel for her. And just when I thought that there wouldn’t be more desolation, the second book proves you wrong: you empathize with somebody else.

Samantha: Broken by A. E. Murphy—HOLYYYYYYYYYYY CRAP!! Fantastic, and weird, and angsty, and so sad. Can’t wait to get started on the 2nd one! Worth a read you guys!!! read more

Reader Question – The book with the most broken book boyfriend…

By 15 Comments

Oooooh YOU GUYS!!! One of my FAVORITE books (and Amy’s too, and a few others in our crew) was just asked about. One I could answer and was SO thrilled to.

And if any of you missed this book, our recommendation of it, or my review, I KNEW I had to post this reader question, even if I answered it already.

This book is AWESOME, BUT!!! Totally an unconventional, intense, love story. Just perfect, in its own amazing way. After all… it’s Cara McKenna that wrote it!

Jess asks:

I saw a post some of you were talking about Badger, the most broken book boyfriend. What is the name of the book? I am searching but coming up short. Love your blog! read more

Reader Confession – Lisa and Jean (and I) have a thing for broken book heroes…

By 36 Comments

*sigh* Some of us like ’em broken. That’s not very nice, is it? No worries. We can fix ’em. 😉

Reader confession time. Oh yes. This is a given for SO MANY of us. The majority of us, I think.

And it’s obvious that I can TOTALLY relate to this one. Travis and Christian, and well… Kellan, anyone? 😉 I, too, love my heroes bad-ass but broken. Gah. WHYYYYYYYY???!!!

Why do we want it so difficult? It’s hard. It’s tumultuous. It’s angsty. It’s addictive. AND. IT. HURTS!!!!!! But it’s fun and it’s real.

And therefore… it’s fulfilling, and titillates all of our book-romance needs. read more
