By 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:

Hi Maryse,

I was wondering if you could get your help in finding a book that I’ve being hunting for all week 😩.

I read this awhile ago so I might be missing out bits.

it’s basically about two sisters (on in the golden child and the other is the black sheep) one of the sisters is getting married, but the other sister secretly has a crush on her sisters soon to be husband. One night on the day before the wedding there was a confusing with the hotels rooms and the fiancé mistakes the two sisters and ends up sleeping with sister who had the crush on him 😳  and she doesn’t stop him. read more

Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books where the heroine doesn’t end up with the lead guy…

By 22 Comments

LIST REQUEST TIME!!! 😀 We’re in the mood for something a little different, romance-wise. 😉 Romance yes!! But with a twist.

And this time, it’s (by nature of the trope request) “spoiler-ish” because pretty much right off the bat – for most of these suggestions anyway…  we’ll know who the winning guy ends up being.

So unless you don’t mind already knowing a specific outcome in a love story, you might want to skip this one (and not look at the recommendations below). read more

Book Review – The Life You Stole by Jewel E. Ann

By 9 Comments

The Life You Stole (The Life Series Book 2) <— If you haven’t read book #1 yet, skip this review altogether and go to my first review here so my (and our) emotions below don’t spoil stuff for ya!!! Good news? The duet is complete so if this sounds up your alley, you can devour it all in one shot, cliffhanger and all! 😀

<— You guys. This one did a number on me. It was dark and emotional and depressing and hardcore, and yet despite that… “ethereal” quality about it, it felt real. Which is probably why I needed a billion breaks from it while I was reading it. HOLY. MOLY. read more

Book Review – Frayed by Layne Deemer

By 5 Comments

Frayed <— GAH!! I just read an amazing book that I was SO into from start to finish. This was a debut novel? GET. OUT. I can’t even believe it. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. R. Renee came to us screaming “YOU” vibes and boy was she right!!!! But it’s not at ALL the same story. I promise. Though that feel is JUST right.

AND what’s best of all? We BUDDY READ it!!! Group read of freak-outs & reactions!! LOL!

R. Renee: Guys!! This is Layne’s debut psych thriller. Some of you know her from the GR PFM challenge group. I started it this morning and I can’t put it down!! I went in blind so I have no idea what’s coming but at 16% it’s giving me serious YOU vibes! read more
