Tanishka is back with another one!! She needs our help looking for this book. 😀 Oooooooooh boy we have another scandalous-sounding fun one, and I think things in this story are about to go very bad!! I’m dying to know which one this is, too!

Almost sounds like a cross of the show Good Girls and Weeds and one of our favorite dark reads… Raw. LOL!

She asks:

Heyyyy Maryse!!!

I need your help again finding a book.

It was a mafia romance and like the guy goes on a mission but he is caught and jailed. So he tells her to look for the green in the grassland or something and she has this bodyguard or someone, I’m not sure and like she was also pregnant. read more

Lina needs our book help! I know for sure I haven’t read it, but it sounds plenty tumultuous and I am so curious about the secret she’s keeping about the other actor… *rubs hands together with glee*

She asks:

Hi!

I was wondering if you would possibly be able to help me… I read this book ages ago and have completely forgotten what it was called or who the author was. I’ve been trying to find it again like crazy but have had no luck. I’ll try to not give everything away, but I think the plot went a little something like this: read more

Reader Question – The dark read about the girl that gets thrown out of his club for having a knife on her…

Brandy has a crazy sounding one for us!!!! HOLY MOLY this one sounds intense and terrifying and the perfect dark read/dark romance. Mafia romance maybe?

She asks:

Hey Maryse!

I researched for 3 hours and I couldn’t find this book series. I’ve read it several times (which makes me even more furious) 🙂

Basically, it’s super dark and very sexual.

The hero meets an innocent girl at the beginning and she ends up getting kidnapped and tortured and killed.

He comes back to the inner city and he’s rich and he owns a club, and a young girl gets thrown out of one of his clubs for having a knife on her.  She is a loner who has a sick grandma and she ends up working for him. read more

Reader Question – The book where they knew each other as children and he ends up in organized crime…

Dallas needs our book help! This one sounds a bit like past reader questions in this trope, however due to the subject matter, it could be just that this is a frequent issue/twist in this genre…

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I am trying to find a book (possibly a series) where there is a girl who falls in love with a guy whom she trusts.

I remember they met when she was a pre-teen or maybe even younger in a park. She always used to meet him in a park to start with. I think she grew up to do something in Arts or Marketing. read more

Reader Question – The book about the Italian arranged marriage to a cruel mafia man that she hates… and the Russian.

Miyah is looking for this one! Oooooh this one is a mafia romance and all sorts of tumultuous drama potential! Plenty of detail here to spark your memory if you read it, so I spoiler alerted throughout, in case you haven’t read it.

She asks:

Hi Maryse!!

I’ve been reading for blog for a while and thought you be the perfect person to help me find this book I read awhile ago and wanted to reread.

I believe it’s about a girl who is in an Italian arranged marriage and I think he’s in the mafia and she hates him and he’s cruel so right before they’re wedding she meets this Russian guy who similarly I believe is in the mafia and… read more
