Lee needs our book help! AND I LOVE THIS TROPE!! Two strangers stranded together and  having to survive. And better yet, these two sound like total opposites! I’m dying to know!! 😀

She asks:

…I read it about 15-20 years ago and can’t remember what it was called,

the h was on a plane with a rich hot guy who was pretty dismissive of her and a bit of a jerk, she was overweight and had an awful mother, when it crashed only the two of them survived…..

If anyone recognizes it I’d be really grateful, I would like to read it again. read more

Vicki has a reader question for us, and I was SO sure I had read it and guessed it (these are one of my favorite tropes). But I was wrong. So… YAY!!! That means we get to make a list of guesses!! Er… unless someone comes up with it right off the bat. 😉

She asks:

Book Review – Unseen Messages by Pepper Winters

Unseen Messages: a survival romance novel
Having never read, yet but heard so much about this author’s trademark “dark romance reads” I was very excited when I found our she wrote THIS one. ‘Cause it’s about a plane crash on a deserted island, and if there’s anything I love more than a dark read, it’s one about survival, and all of the precarious and scary stuff that goes with it.

And even more so when it involves a real companionship between people that may never have given each other the time of day before such an event. But it’s that bond, the care and eventually love of each other that provides them equal (if not more) sustenance than the sparse food and water does. Because it feeds their lonely souls. Imagine being completely alone on a deserted island with no help, nobody to talk to and no way of knowing if you’ll ever be rescued? For days… months, or even years on end? Gah… that thought alone makes me feel like I’m suffocating! read more
