Reader Question… Solved! The book about the princess that has to marry the rival kingdom’s king to prevent a war…

June 14, 2021 By Maryse 3 Comments

Aliza is looking for this book! Oh how I love enemies-to-lovers ’cause that slow burn is addictive!!!

She asks:

Hello all,

I have been thinking of this book for the past week and I simply can’t remember the name! If anyone recognizes this book from this description, please put me out of my misery lol.

From what I can remember, it’s a classic enemies to lovers trope where the princess has to marry the rival kingdoms king to prevent a war or because it is the tradition. She tries to hate him and it helps that he is a jerk but she has can’t resist him. read more

March 31, 2021 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Her latest “duet” is complete as of yesterday!! Book #2 just went LIVE!! So I’m thinking this is “Spin off” #2 from the Shadow and Bone trilogy. 😀

About book #1:

The Grishaverse will be coming to Netflix soon with Shadow and Bone, an original series!

Enter the Grishaverse with the instant #1 New York Times-bestseller King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo, the first book in the King of Scars Duology.

Face your demons…or feed them. The dashing young king, Nikolai Lantsov, has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war—and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, Nikolai must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. read more

Leigh Bardugo – The Shadow and Bone Trilogy Reading Order

March 31, 2021 By Maryse Leave a Comment

THIS SERIES IS COMING TO NETFLIX EVERYONE!!! 😀

MichelleS: I finished Shadow and Bone. Moving on to book two, I liked it that much. Maybe 4.5 stars? Only because half of this e-book was previews at the end, so it was over before I was ready! Great start to a new fantasy series (new to me) if anyone is looking for that. …Exactly my kind of read: smart, great dialogue, cool world building…

Tasha J: I read the first recently in a spin-off of the same world, Shadow and Bone, and loved it. I plan to have read all from that series before the airing on Netflix in April. Goals! read more

Hells grave by Ivy archer! I’m on the 4th book and I love this series !

Finishing up Travis by Mia Sheridan and loving every page!

Dark Waters (Flame and Blade 3) by Meredith Hart. A swoon worthy fantasy romance series with well-written and unique characters. September is too long to wait for the final book.

Reading the final book of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhubters series, “City of Heavenly Fire’. It is amazingly good!

Bessa on Radish by Rachelle Mills (whiskeyqueen). Bessa and Borson are put to the test. Bessa can’t forget his betrayals and Borson has a mountain of redemption to climb but he does it step by step through the mud and the tears. Love it, I have read and reread it so many times 😍.

I just finished Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate...so well-written and so heart-wrenching. I'm now reading The Invitation by Vi Keeland.

I just finished The Poison Thread. It was fantastic Gothic horror

Hi Maryse, love your blog and book recommendations!! Can you suggest any amazing alpha historical, bodyguard or any epic alpha Lead books? Adore Kristen Ashley (of course) Thanks 🙏🏻 in advance xx

I'm on the 3rd book of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, Queen of the Damned.I am loving it so far. The movie was awesome but not in comparison to the book. In comparison, the movie butchered this story.

I am reading 'the thirst of a lessor God' by Rachelle Mills on radish. It is a must read for women I think. It is so right I tell you. The emotions are so intense that you would find yourself drowning in them!!!

Zodiac Academy Shadow Princess I am struggling. I mean, struggling. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am so far into the series, I would just stop. Frustrating!

I'm rereading Silver Silence by Nalini Singh.. And it's fantastic.. Not my favorite of her Psy-Changeling series but it's still a great book!

Red Thorns by Rina Kent ... A dark story but so far it's great! 🔥

That time I forgot what I was reading...OH its an Agatha Raisin book. Vicious Vet maybe? It fulfills my medical professional category for the library reading challenge. It makes me laugh

Currently reading BB Easton's Suit and I just got to tell you that I'm loving these individual books off these 4 men and I'm still crying my eyes out and have a lump in my chest because of the first one. So so so goooood!👌

This is one that has become my comfort read even though it's far from a light, feel good one. "Fin's Claim" by Rachelle Mills on Wattpad. Such an intense ride packed with emotion, a unique writing style and a super satisfying ending. Another one of hers that i keep coming back to is "His Alpha" on Amazon

I am still catching up on Brie's Submission series and carrying on with the True Blood Books and A Discovery of Witches!

"People of Color Destroy Scifi."It's an Anthology of short stories put out by Lightspeed magazine I heard about on Geeks Guide to the Galaxy Podcast. I liked it so much I bought three copies and mailed it my friends so we can chat about our favorites.

Dream little dream by suzanna Philips re-reading. I started with Carry the world from ur blog . Ur my guidance

Currently reading Odin’s prize by Rachelle Mills This is my comfort read. Actually all the books from the tribute series is my comfort read.

I am rereading the Song of Fire and Ice series 🔥🧊 🐉

The Good Lie is awesome!! (By AR Torre)

Thirst of a Lesser God by Rachelle Mills on Radish is a brilliant read!

Dark jewels series by Anne Bishop - amazing!

Just finished re-reading Loved By Liam by Melanie Moreland and started Lady Brazen by Scarlett Scott

FANTASY ROMANCE!! AMY HARMON ALERT! NO DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN BORN IN YEARS

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #fantasyromance

“…An insidious curse is weakening the Norse kingdom of Saylok, where no daughters have been born in years. Washing up on these plagued shores is Ghisla, an orphaned stowaway nursed back to health by Hod, a blind cave dweller. Named for a mysterious god, Hod is surrounded by prophecy.

To Ghisla, he’s a cherished new friend, but to Hod, the girl is much more. For when Ghisla sings, Hod can see. Unable to offer safe shelter, Hod urges Ghisla onward to become a daughter of the temple, where all the kingdom’s girl children have been gathered.

But because of a magical rune, the two cannot be separated, no matter the time or the distance…”
