Our Favorite “Love After Loss” Romance Book Recommendations

By 27 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

Sarah needs our book help! O)h this one sounds wonderful, and somewhat angsty!!

She asks:

Hello Maryse,

I found your site recently that’s why I am not quite sure if I have to message your that way. But I am looking for a book that I read a few months ago and I forgot the name of the book because I deleted it on my phone.

It was about a man and a woman I think it was set around the 19th century, I am not quite sure but I think the man is a cowboy and he has a ranch, his wife died and left him with their newborn son or daughter. Because his child can only take breast milk he has to find a woman who can breastfeed his child but there is only one woman in the town who can do that because there aren’t any other mothers with newborn baby’s. 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?
