Reader Question – The historical romance where he finds her in the back of a cart, beaten, and kidnaps her to marry her…

By 4 Comments

Lyndol is looking for this one! Ohh boy this description is intense and make me ROAR! But I’m thinking him saving her is a good thing? *hopefully*

She asks:

Badly need help solving a book title

Trying to remember title of historical romance book.

The most stand out thing I remember is in the beginning she was in the back of a cart laying down because she had been whipped or beaten when the hero came up to, if i remember right, kidnap her.

Even though she was delirious from pain and fever she still fought back.  I could be wrong but I think she was on the way to Scotland to be married. read more

By 2 Comments

Tolu needs our book help! You all know me, and historical romance (I don’t have much reading experience in that genre) so I’m hoping someone recognizes this one. 😀

She asks:

Please I need help finding the title of a historical romance novel I read many years ago.

Unfortunately, the only bits I remember about the book are the names of the major characters

– Sir Rowland and Roger Bannister.

One of them had a lady that the other was interested in and it caused quite a bit of friction between them. read more

Reader Question – The book about the party where the mistress slapped the heroine and the heroine slapped her back.

By 6 Comments

Cha needs our book help! Oooooooh drama!! Short and NOT so sweet. 😉 But I bet someone knows this one, and I can’t WAIT to find out!

She asks:

I forgot the title of the book but I remember one scene.

It goes like the heroine went to a party with the hero and the hero’s ex-mistress was there. The mistress slapped the heroine and the heroine slapped her back.

It seemed like an abandoned wife/marriage of convenience troupe. Probably a regency historical romance.

Pls help!

Maryse: I’m going to post something super silly that my boyfriend said when I read this question to him (’cause I loved the description of the scene so I just had to read it to him). So…. this is “the first guess” (albeit obviously wrong). LOL!! read more
