Shaleen needs our book help! Ohhhhh this sounds like the mother-in-law from hell! LOL!! Wow… that poor new wife. And now I TOO, am so curious about this one!!

She asks:

Hi, I am a huge fan of your blog. I make sure to check it before good reads lol.

I am looking for a book, it’s about an older man who marries a younger girl, his mother does not like her because she liked his first wife.

From what I remember the first wife was having an affair that he knew about and she died in a lake, the H thought it was his fault and kept this from his new wife. read more

Reader Question – Requesting books in which the heroine is the hero’s mistress…

By 7 Comments

Maria is looking for this, and since it seems to be a fairly frequent request, I’m going to repost that specific category on my blog, here. AND if you have a recommendation for us that’s not already on the list, let us know. 🙂

She asks:

Hey Maryse!

I’ve been looking for books in which the heroine is the hero’s mistress. Sort of an Off Balance by Lucia Franco vibe… not historical romance.

Do you have any recs?

Hi Maria! You bet!!

Right off the bat, what comes to mind is the “Something in the Way” series. read more

Kelsey needs our book help! OMG I THINK I KNOW THIS ONE and it’s one of my very favorite duets ever!!

It’s a book about two couples. One is getting divorced and her husband’s company has hit it big and he’s trying to give her the money but she won’t take it.

Megan is looking for this one! Oh boy it sounds kind of intense and angsty (breaking up is hard to do) but Mony’s guess is actually a comedy romance!!

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

Long time reader, first time poster that loves your blog. Thank you for providing me with recommendations that have filled my days for the better part of the past 2 years!

I have a question I’m hoping you or another reader can answer as I’m pretty sure I found it here.

I’m looking for the name of a book I read earlier this year about a couple who were either married/engaged and the heroine had fallen out of love with him and was trying to get him to end things, not realising he was doing the exact same thing. read more
