Our Favorite “Love After Loss” Romance Book Recommendations

By 26 Comments

UPDATED 04-22-2020!! 😀

Most of today’s reader questions will be recommendation requests for certain tropes. I have received so many lately, so let’s see what new lists we can make, along with what we can add to past lists (updates!!!) YAY!!! 😀

Okay first question is by Amy (and actually Priscilla, too!) and the way it was worded, what first came to mind was… “Does she mean Vampire books”? LOL! You can tell where my romance roots are. 😉 But once she mentioned one of my favorite books ever as an example, I realized we were going much deeper… read more

Reader Question – The book about the heroine who’s husband dies in the military, and his best friend is the Hero of this book

By 3 Comments

Rae is looking for this book! I LOVE military romance, and have read a few (and this trope comes up a lot. Best friends in the military and one dies, and other helps care for his wife…). I’m not sure about this one though.

She asks:

Hi, Maryse.

I hope you are well.

I am looking for a book.I can’t remember the title but i can vaguely remember some fact about the book which i am mentioning below:

1) the book is about love after loss.
2) hero is in military/Marine. And friend of heroine’s husband/fiancé
3) heroine’s husband dies on a mission/war or simply just dies.
4) The book was probably published between 2019-2021
5) the cover of the book was something like this “The hero is standing and the heroine is kissing him locking her legs around this waist”. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about 2 couples who were together for dinner but an explosion kills the wife of one and the husband of the other…

By 4 Comments

Sandi is looking for this one (which makes me think of one or 2 of my own favorites) but I don’t want to say them due to potential spoilers…

She asks:

One of the reader questions sparked a small memory of a book I read that I cannot remember.

It was about 2 couples who were together for dinner but an explosion kills the wife of one and the husband of the other.

That happens early so it isn’t necessarily a spoiler.

I’ve looked through my kindle and kindle unlimited lists.

Anyone have a guess?

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the Hero’s brother dying and leaving the heroine pregnant (also Hero wears gloves all the time)…

By 4 Comments

Apoorva is looking for this book. Her question is short and sweet but enough detail that I’m sure someone will know it.

She asks:

Do you know a book where the hero’s brother dies leaving heroine pregnant.

The hero always wears gloves because of his past abuse.

His brother died due to some disease of which he doesn’t tell the heroine.

The hero was abused by his grandfather.

Anyone have a guess?

Holly: Ooo I think I’ve read this one! I’ll take a look. Is it Broken by A.E.Murphy? I could be wrong

Apoorva: Thanks Holly. It is Broken by A.E. Murphy read more

Reader Question – The book about the CEO & the single mom that meet in a cafe and she needs a job…

By 2 Comments

Monica is looking for this book! This one sounds so sweet!!! I love single mom romances.

She asks:

Ok so in this book the opening scene is in cafe where hero met the heroine. I think heroine works there or maybe they are in same place by coincidence but the hero is quite captivated by her & the heroine is single mom coz her husband is dead & in need of job.

The hero is CEO of company & coincidently the girl applies for job as a graphic designer in his company.

I think she landed the position by hero’s brother help who recommended her the designer position. It is something like that. read more
