Julie Ann Walker – In Moonlight and Memories Trilogy Reading Order

May 22, 2019 By Maryse Leave a Comment

<— New series and here’s the kicker!! ALL THREE BOOKS are going LIVE on the SAME DAY!!!! July 1st 2019!! πŸ˜€ AND AND!! Each book is a little over 250 pages each. This is no serial. This is a full length TRILOGY!!

The author says:

It’s a trilogy, an epic romantic saga… …Yes, you read that correctly. I’m releasing In Moonlight and Memories: Volumes 1, 2, and 3 all on the same day.. ..in our Netflix/binge-everything society, I felt it was important to give readers what they were asking for. Namely, the whole story NOW. read more

Reader Question… Answered! The book about the girl that cuts all ties to her past and finds herself in a small town where the MC president takes her under his wing…

March 7, 2019 By Maryse 4 Comments

Paris is looking for this book and it sure sounds angsty (and a bit raw, too)… I spoiler alerted here and there, so proceed at your own risk (but this one sounds good!!).

She asks:

Please help me – I am looking for a book I have read (MC Romance).

It is about a girl who lived next to two boys.Β  The older brother joined the army and then passed away.Β  The younger boy loved the girl next year but wanted to join the army.

The girl grandmother dies and the younger boy convinces the girl to go the college and leaves her at a party… read more

M. Robinson – Road to Nowhere Series Reading Order

March 16, 2018 By Maryse 1 Comment

Brought to my attention by a recent reader question (it sounded so intense!!), and the recommendations for this duet are quite convincing!

Fiona:Β …its a great book; the second follow up book is even better…
TammyS:Β Ends Here: Road to Nowhere Book 2Β by M. RobinsonΒ So good! Also loved the Good Ol’ Boys series.

About book #1:

I once read that every warrior hoped an honorable death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me.
I was trained to kill. I was trained to not ask why. To take orders and just march in line. Hooah motherf**ker.
Life or death.
Ride or die.
And I’m not only talking about the military. I’m talking about the life that led me on the road to nowhere.
My life.
I fought for my brothers.
I fought for my family.
I fought for my country.
And I fought for her…
Never realizing I might die for them too. read more

Reader Question – The book with the guy and the girl, and their mutual friends in a bar, and he asks her something shocking…

January 12, 2017 By Maryse 3 Comments

Charity is looking for this one, and I think I know it. In fact, I think MANY of you will recognize it once you get past the spoiler alert (’cause it’s the end she details most).

That said… if you are pretty sure you haven’t read this, then DON’T SCROLL DOWN!!! The one I think it is, is a GREAT book and I’d hate for you to spoil it for yourself.

Okay ready?

She asks:

I read this book a while ago and I’m having a hard time remembering anything from it.

All I remember is that at the very end and it’s kind of spoilerish read more

Lani Lynn Vale – The Heroes of The Dixie Wardens MC Series Reading Order

May 6, 2015 By Maryse 2 Comments

BAD BOY BIKER/HEROES ALERT!! And I’m loving the book titles and the corresponding blurbs. Looks like these could be some steamy romance fun!

Theresa:Β I have really enjoyed Lani Lynn Vale’s Freebird and Dixie Warden series. The men are alpha badass and the women are funny and snarky. You should check them out.

Karen:Β Her Freebird Series is AWESOME. The Alpha ex military guys and the sassy and hysterically funny ladies that they TRY to control, along with the suspense of the leading lady landing in trouble will keep you glued to the pages. Lani has come out with a the first book in the spin off of Freebirds, Lights to my Siren. Yes these are hot fire fighters. I highly recommend Lani Lynn Vale to be added to the β€œWhat to read after Kristen Ashley” list. read more

I’m not sure yet which one I’ll choose, The Perfect Marriage looks good!

I can't decide between that one or Adulting! Adulting might have actual romance in it! πŸ˜†
