What to Read After Drive

By 23 Comments

<— Drive!!!!! This book turned us inside out, and there were teams going on which hero/love interest we loved more. I know my pick, and I still stand by it, but that said, I LOVE how this book turned out from start, to finish. It brought back all my “old-school” indie feels that made me fall in love so hard with this genre in the first place. This is one of those!

P.S. In case you missed it, here’s my book review of Drive!!

And here’s the thing. We’re all looking for more LIKE it. In fact, this has become my most frequent “reader question”. Here’s just a few: read more

B.B. Easton – 44 Chapters Series Reading Order

By 2 Comments

<— BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! THIS ONE IS ABOUT TO BE ON NETFLIX!!!

BB Easton’s bestselling 44 Chapters About 4 Men Series has been adapted into a new 8 episode TV series, SexLife, and is coming soon to Netflix!

Plus, it was the answer to a recent reader question, and come to find out, many in our book crew absolutely LOVE these books!!!

Nay: I HIGHLY recommend the 44 Chapters series by B.B. Easton if you’re looking for a coming of age series that’s full of non-stop excitement (sex, drugs, romance, fast cars, rock ‘n roll). The books are based on B.B. Easton’s life from 15 on (although she’s 15, these are NOT YA), and each book features the story of her life during the time she’s dating a different boyfriend. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the bored wife that decided to journal about her first boyfriends…

By 3 Comments

Jennifer has a quick description for us! Not MUCH info, but good enough detail to guess it, I’m sure, and I KNOW I read this blurb before.

She asks:

Please help me.

A while back I saw a book on ur page about a woman who was bored in her marriage and she started a journal about her first few boyfriends. It meant to be more than one book.

The first boy was a skinhead. And her name was Bebe or something like that. Supposed to be based on her life.

Help me

P.S. There is a book of each boyfriend I think there are only 2 out. The skinhead goes in the Marines I know that much. The second boyfriend is a tattooed mechanic. That’s all I can remember. I have combed thru your old posts and can’t find it. read more

Reader Question – The book about the unhappily married heroine that becomes involved with her child’s teacher…

By 4 Comments

YES!!! I think this is the one I just read!! Although I recently read a blurb similar to this, that also had my attention so I can’t be 100% sure.

Joy asks:

Hi Maryse! I recently read one of your book recommendations and now I can’t find it!

The blurb went something like this: the h is married but unhappy. She finds herself involved or thinking about getting involved with her teacher or child’s teacher. I think it also mentions that the husband then tries to reconcile.

Does this sound familiar? read more
