Reader Question… Solved! The book about the heroine that suspects the man she’s dating is seeing someone else…

February 7, 2021 By Maryse 2 Comments

Sherida needed our book help and OMG THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE BOOKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! So I’m thrilled that I could “guess it” right off the bat, AND I’m thrilled to share the question with all of you in case you haven’t read this one yet.

This is a MUST READ and an absolutely unforgettable love story.

And while she gives away a spoiler in her question (I will alert before the spoiler) she does not spoil the ending and OMG WHAT AN ENDING!!

She asks:

I read this book a while ago maybe two or three years about a woman who meets a man. read more

Lee needs our book help and this one is short and sweet, so I’m hoping it’s enough detail to spark someone’s memory. *fingers crossed*

She asks:

May 21, 2020 By Maryse 4 Comments

Nicolle’s reader question made me GASP!! OMG this one sounds delightfully scandalous and angsty and crazy!!! Who knows it??? WE NEED TO KNOW!!!

She asks:

One night on the day before the wedding there was a confusing with the hotels rooms and the fiancΓ© mistakes the two sisters and ends up sleeping with sister who had the crush on him 😳  and she doesn’t stop him. read more

KARINA HALLE ALERT!! Spinoff of Experiment in Terror! FIGHTING DEMONS WHILE NURSING BROKEN HEARTS TOGETHER!!

"...My name is Ada Palomino. By day, I'm studying my ass off at design school in Portland, Oregon.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #demonslayer

By night, I'm slaying demons and ghosts who have dared to slip through the Veil. Or at least, that's what I should be doing.

The problem is Jay, who also happened to be my immortal guardian and now ex-boyfriend, was banished from being with me.

And now my new trainer is a previously dead friend of mine that I helped bring back to life.

With both of us nursing broken hearts, we embark on a road trip to New Orleans to help him win back his long lost love..."
