Maggie needs our book help!! Oh boy!!! I sort of know this one, because I READ a book just like this story a few months ago and loved it! And it was a historical romance. It was wonderful!!

However right around that time I believe there were TWO other books that have recently released and had a similar storyline. So I will add all of them to the guesses and hopefully one of them will be right. 😉

Emily is looking for this one! And ohhhhhh boy, once I read the main spoiler I GASPED!!!! So proceed carefully – but no worries, I spoiler alerted before the big reveals (and now I’m dying to know it, too).

She asks:

Hi Maryse, love your blog!

I read a historical romance book many years back and cannot for the life of me remember the name (it’s driving me crazy!). However, I do remember the story line.

Heroine runs away at the beginning because she is afraid of her brother in law. She gets sick in a cabin and H (a stranger) takes care of her. read more

Reader Question – The MMF historical romance book about a Naval Captain in a country house.

Aybee needs our book help! And I know for sure I haven’t read this one (not a ton of HR under my book belt 😉 ), but we have a bunch of historical romance readers in our crew so I’m hoping someone has read this. 😀

She asks:

Hi!

I have a reader question that is driving me bananas.

I am trying to find a historical  MMF. I thought it was by KJ Charles but I have been through her site and various others (goodreads, SBTB, here) multiple times and I am coming up empty.

My recollection is that it is MMF with one of the men a naval captain, and it mainly takes place in a country house, and that’s about all I can recall. read more

Reader Question – The historical romance book where she has powers, and he’s her guardian fighting his feelings for her…

By Leave a Comment

Jackson is looking for this one! Ooooh boy SO much amazing detail in her questions (which is perfect since I’m sure these will spark someone’s memory), and it’s forbiddeny too!!

She asks:

Does anyone here know the name of a historical romance where the heroine has mental powers (telepathy, mind being able to leave body, casting images to others) and is trying to solve either a missing person case or a murder case by reading palms and getting images from people?

The heroine and her sister were orphans being raised by the hero guardian in a house of magical sisters who, I believe, assisted the crown with their magic. One sister, was jealous of the heroine and walked around naked all the time. Her legitimate sister is out of the house, married, and has the gift of healing. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The historical romance book about the heroine that disguises herself as a man to enter the reclusive hero’s home…

Riri is looking for this one! Calling all historical romance lovers!! In fact, the right guess might just be on THIS list, since it features “disguised as a man” heroines and a lot of them were historical romances. 🙂

She asks:

I have been really looking for this slow burn historical romance that I read about 3 years ago.

The book is about a lady who goes to the hero’s house disguised (as a man? I am not quite sure) but the ruse isn’t up for long, hero is very smart and realises soon enough that she’s a woman. read more
