By 21 Comments

Tragic (Lark Cove Book 3)
<— THIS ONE’S GOING LIVE AT MIDNIGHT!!!! And I was delighted to get an early review copy (this author’s writing and alpha males are spot on and right up my alley).

And I was especially delighted when it featured a moody, big huge grump of a reclusive hero… who just happened to be her new neighbor. GAH!! I LOVE GRUMPY NEIGHBORS. Er… in books. Always and only in books (P.S. My neighbors are really awesome. I love my neighborhood!!). But boy do I love that kind of book drama. 😉 read more

Reader Question – The book about the couple that married young, had two kids, and got divorced…

LOL!! That title doesn’t say much (this could be SO many books), but all the true detail in the question could be deemed as spoilers, so I spoiler-alerted on them and left that title generic. 😉

Bewaji asks:

Hey Maryse, I know your wonderful readers will help me out about a book I read a long time ago. It stayed with me and I want to read it again and for the life of me, I can’t find it on my Kindle.

*The H and h got married young (maybe out of High School), had two kids, stuff happened and they divorced. read more

Reader Question – The book about the couple that was forced apart and now he’s her boss…

Kelly needs our books help! Oh my… imagine your ex as your boss? YIKES!!! Awkward…  😉

She asks:

…I have been searching for this since I thought I downloaded this book and can’t find it now.

It was a book about a couple who married (I think) and were forced apart by the woman’s father 10 years ago and now the ex husband is back and her boss.

One of the characters name is Sam and it’s a second chance at love.

I would really appreciate any help in finding this book. It is part of a series and the first two books are about them. read more

Book Review – Mr. Right-Swipe by Ricki Schultz

By Leave a Comment

Mr. Right-Swipe
I was intrigued by the premise of this one, and pulled it out of my paperback pile. Yep! I had an ARC, and I was totally in the mood for an “adult” story (and by adult, I mean characters in their late 20s-40s, life already on a roll… or a tailspin). 😉

I wanted something less melodramatic and more… pragmatic. LOL! I dunno.

You know I love my angst and drama, but I was in the mood for something a little lighter with a realistic twist, and I was all to0 happy to jump in. And this one was sort of a rom-com to boot, so the upbeat feel was just what I needed. read more

Reader Question – The book about the couple on the brink of divorce, hoping that they might fall back in love again…

By 12 Comments

Today’s first two reader questions gave a TON of detail, but Taneesha’s question here, is regarding a book blurb so it’s a bit vague (second chance love story theme) but maybe there’s just enough detail in this one that someone will pinpoint it.

If not, we’ll just make a list of every book that sounds similar. I love angsty marital strife/possible second chance romance reads.

In fact, one of my favorites is by Rachel Higginson (but I don’t think that’s the one she’s looking for). read more
