Reader Question – The bully romance book where she rents a room and her housemates don’t like her…

March 9, 2023 By Maryse 4 Comments

Dina is looking for this one! I’m not sure if the guys in this one are her bullies, or if it’s just the girls that are the bullies in this one?

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

Im searching for a book I’ve read a few years ago.

If I remember correctly it’s a bully college romance, the girl and the boy know each other from their home town.

She moves into a house/dorm but her housemates don’t like her and the girl she rents the room from didn’t tell her friend she was going to rent out her room. read more

Reader Question – The book about the college girl dating a wealthy guy and she visits him on weekends in New York…

January 25, 2023 By Maryse 2 Comments

Ash needs our book help! I don’t think I’ve read this one, so I’m passing it off to you guys. πŸ™‚

She asks:

Hi!

So i cannot find this book I remember reading, it could also be a series.

I know the girl is in college a dates a rich guy and he visits her at school and she goes back I think to NYC for weekends with him.

At one point a football player she thinks is a friend does something really bad to her like drugs her and more and she is upset she did not believe her boyfriend was right about him. I think the football player is her roommates friend or brother. read more

Reader Question – The college romance book where he writes on her arm with a sharpie…

January 11, 2023 By Maryse 4 Comments

Roaa needs our book help! This one sounds soooooooooo familiar. I’m thinking Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy, or How to Date a Douchebag by Sara Ney but I’m probably way off, so I’m dying to know, too!

She asks:

Hi,

I’m unsure if you can help me but I am looking for a college romance book where the hero writes his name on the heroine’s arm with a sharpie because she’s hiding their relationship from her friends…

do you know a book with a similar storyline?? πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™ I remember saving it after watching a reel on IG and I must have deleted it because I can’t find it anymore. read more

Rina Kent – Legacy of Gods Series Reading Order

November 18, 2022 By Maryse Leave a Comment

MAFIA PRINCES/DARK READ ALERT & BOOK #3 JUST WENT LIVE!! Each one can be read as a standalone. πŸ˜€

Holly: I read the first 2 books last week! It’s a crazy series but I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to getting stuck into the next one

About book #1:

I caught the attention of a monster.
I didn’t ask for it.
Didn’t even see it coming.
But the moment I do, it’s too late.
Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm.
He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage.
The worst part is that no one sees his devil side.
I do.
And that will cost me everything.
I run, but the thing about monsters?
They always chase. read more

S.L. Scott's LATEST!! HE'S SAVED HER TWICE NOW... but she doesn't remember him.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease

"...The same stranger who saved me steps in again when I have nowhere to go and no memory of who I am. He’s broody and rigid, but I see a different side of this gorgeous man and start to realize I’m not the only one who needs saving.

Falling for him wasn’t in my plans, but as I search for answers to my past, I realize that I don’t worry about getting my memory back. My fear is losing my life twice..."
