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… 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…

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

Tammy is looking for this boo and Ohhhhh!! Unrequited LOVE alert!!!! I bet this one is all sorts of angsty (for many obvious reasons), and while I’ve read a few “love after loss” books where the Hero is grieving and at first resists the heroine, I don’t think I’ve read this one. And now I’m dying o know so I can add it to two of our lists here!! Love After Loss and Unrequited Love.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I love your blog and I’ve made it part of my daily routine. I’m hoping you recognize this book – I read it about 3 years ago and its popped back into my head and I can’t remember the title. read more

Reader Question – The book where the heroine thinks hero is dead and marries the hero’s rival.

By 1 Comment

Oyinda has one for us, and it sounds like it could be gasp-worthy!! I feel like I’ve either read this one maybe…? OR it was a reader question in the past, ’cause this “twist” sounds so familiar to me!!

She asks:

Hello,

I am looking for a romance novel where the heroine thinks hero is dead and marries the hero’s rival.

Her nickname is called Lee. I think it’s titled someone…. i can’t remember the rest.

Hero comes back and sees that heroine and rival are together with two children. read more
