Reader Question – The book about the twin with amnesia and her husband is super mean to her…

By 1 Comment

Natali needs our book help! This sounds like possibly a dark romance (marital strife & a definite bully of a husband). Maybe it turns into one of those “husband grovels and repents?” books? Possibly? But he sure sounds like an A$$!!!! ROAR!!!

Not even sure if he’ll be redeemable but I’m dying to know if you’ve read it.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I Hope you can help me, I have been going through all the posts and suggestions on your blog, I know I saw it somewhere a loooong while back, but for the life of me I can’t find this book. read more

Reader Question – The book about the unhappily married woman whose husband didn’t notice her and was rude to her…

Ywan is looking for a book!! Ohhhh another marital strife book on today’s reader question roster (these always twist my tummy and make me so angry at the husband!!), and this one sounds like the perfect book to add to the “He doesn’t want her…” list. Or maybe even this one: Book recommendations where the husband rejected his wife, and is now trying to repent…

She asks:

Hi,

I hoped that you could help find a book.

It is a part of a series, I dont remember the series, I just read one of the books and at the end the author gave this sneak a peak off the upcoming book. Thats the book that i’m searching for. read more

UPDATED: 09-24-19 (new recommendations on this list, PLUS you can find more on lists with similar tropes):

Sonia is looking for recommendations, and I know we’ve read a bunch like these (especially the arranged marriage ones). Let’s see if we can make a new “best of” list. 😀

These are the genres that make me FURIOUS… and yet I can’t out ’em down. Definitely tends towards “bully” anti-heroes.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I hope you could help me out. I’ve already searched goodreads. But came up with reads with hero’s that were so-so cruel not truly cruel. read more
