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

September 21, 2017 By Maryse 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…

February 22, 2017 By Maryse 36 Comments

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

Book Review – The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

March 6, 2016 By Maryse 29 Comments

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me
I know… at first the title totally threw me off. When it comes to this author, I’m always a little perplexed (yet intrigued) by her title choices, and they end up making plenty of sense. But this one makes ALL the sense in the world when you realize “The Wall of Winnipeg” is the nickname of a HUGE 6’4″ 250lb+ football hero (who’s actual name is Aiden). So yes, my friends, we get to fall in love with a sports star, and BOY DO WE EVER!!!! read more

My Passion for “Book Bad Boys”

May 18, 2015 By Maryse 7 Comments

Bad boys (in books) are my favorite. I bet y’all didn’t know… huh? 😉 LOL! And sure… we’ve all been on a bad-boy kick for a few years now, and have a plethora of book-bad-boys to choose from. In fact, it was book bad-boys that took me out of my paranormal reading funk. They weren’t your typical “hero” and even at times, could totally be an anti-hero. And they had me swooning like mad, again!

But I still get that age-old question… what is it about bad boys that has us swooning so hard? read more

In need of a Good Alpha Male Book? Latest Reader Recommendations…

May 15, 2015 By Maryse 26 Comments

This one started out as a “reader question” but the great recommendations just kept coming, so I made it a list, instead.

Now of course we are ALL looking for alpha-male books, ’cause that’s pretty much our thing, isn’t it? 😉 Alpha romance? US!! It’s a given. It’s much of what brought all of us readers together. Our love of Alpha McBossypants heroes that infuriate us, and then turn around and give us butterflies in our stomach. BEST. FEELING. EVER.

But let’s thank these two readers that have re-activated our love of good alpha-lists, and the books that make ’em! read more
