Reader Question – The book about the husband that comes home to find his wife in bed with his brother…

By 2 Comments

Cindy is desperately looking for this one and OMG I feel like I’VE READ THIS SCENE!!! Right? Was it a past reader question that I’m remembering or have I read this book?!?!

I feel like in my memory of this scene, he was drinking whiskey in a glass while he was watching them…

She asks:

****Help name that book****

So I only remember one scene in which the hubby comes home to see his wife asleep with his bro.

He sits in the corner chair waiting for them to wake up. They wake up without noticing him and proceed to almost have sex when he makes his presence known. read more

Reader Question – The book about the single mom whose ex-husband once cheated with a married friend of theirs…

By 5 Comments

Bettina needs our help! Oooooh what a convoluted story this one is, and I’m dying to know it, too!! Actually, it brings to mind a recent Colleen Hoover book that I loved except for the sons/emails part.

She asks:

Hi –

I was wondering how to ask about a specific book I am looking for?

It is about a single Mom whose ex husband cheated with a friend of the couple. She was also married at the time.

Both couple’s had sons who were best friends until the son of the friend who cheated released all the emails between the cheaters to the entire town and the story blew up. read more

Book Review – What We Forgot to Bury by Marin Montgomery

By 4 Comments

What We Forgot to Bury was my Amazon First Reads selection this month and it was a difficult choice between two books on that list (both psych-thrillers) but the other seeming to lean towards a romance/love obsession and I was so in the mood for that. You know I love those!

And surprise surprise, this one actually had a touch of that, too!

Tasha J: Still can’t decide on Kindle 1st. Stories We Never Told or What We Forgot to Bury is what I’ve narrowed it down to.

Maryse: OMG three of them sound SO freaking good right now. Exactly the ones you love, I love!!! I can’t choose. Okay wait… for me it’s definitely between What We Forgot to Bury and Stories We Never Told… read more

Outi needs our book help! I love books about married couples and marital strife and then… maybe a second chance romance?? Though I’m not sure if this is what happens here… 😉

She asks:

Hello,

I have been trying to find one book – middle aged couple, two college aged sons. Husband left wife, wife was dating first her attorney, next her son’s future father-in-law.  He was minister or something like that.

And then husband wanted to come back….. read more

Separated or Divorced Second Chance Romance Book Recommendations

By 14 Comments

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE WITH DIVORCED OR SEPARATED COUPLES RECOMMENDATIONS!! Ooooh one of my favorite tropes. Totally my catnip ’cause of all of the emotional angst potential.

These stories run the gamut of all sorts of romance drama (from unrequited love, to more common marital strife issues, growing apart due to resentments, secrets, and life stresses… to some with PTSD, all the way to infidelity issues), and this list promises to tear our hearts out… and despite all odds, possibly mend ’em, too (hence, the “second chance romance” part). 😉 Sometimes love really IS enough. read more
