Following my heart, one book at a time...
Penny needs our book help! Oh boy AGE GAP ALERT!!! 😀 This one sounds exciting and intense!!
She asks:
Hi.
I’m looking for the book where heroine is just 18 and hero is 38.
The hero was in prison for drugs that heroines mother his in his jacket. Hero was her best friend/savior growing up because mother was addict.
It is an MC book. Heroine’s uncle is president of club.
Penny: Thank you
Okay this reader question has just already been guessed, but the book sounded SO DARN gooooood that I had to post it, in case anyone wanted to read it, too! 😀
Now, at first I was thinking it might be Hard Time by Cara Mckenna (4.5 STAR loved it – she’s a librarian teaching in a prison and falling for an inmate – and here’s my review) but that’s pretty much where things change from Kari’s description.
Kari asked:
OK Maryse, I need HELP. I read a book a couple years ago and I cannot for the life of me remember the name/author.
Release: A Standalone Friends-to-Lovers Romance
Another fantastic love story by one of my favorite authors ever, ’cause boy can she deliver, when it comes to angst, backstory and super-steam as well as romance. Though… not without working for it first. 😉
This one came highly recommended by our crew shortly after its release <— see what I did there? Supposedly there was a twist and I am ALL for those!! Delightful (or not-so-delightful) book surprises are so fun to experience and freak out over.
<— SHELTERED HEROINE & AN EX-PRISONER ALERT!!! OMG I LOVE THIS AUTHOR & book #3 (the final book in this series) just went live!! P.S. Each one can be read as a standalone.
Jenn: …after reading back to back heart heavy reads I needed something light and sweet …-I love Tessa Bailey as she is my go to when I’m in the mood for that.
About book #1:
A man with a prison record has no place around a fresh faced college student. Tell that to Rory Prince. He should stay the hell away from Olive Cunningham. There’s one small problem, though. She won’t stop almost getting killed—and with this too-smart, too-sweet girl holding his heart in her hands, Rory is powerless to do anything but keep saving her.
DARK READ ALERT!!! Book #2 has just been released, and both sound INCREDIBLE and tense, and forbiddeny… and dark. YAY US!!!
<— I read this one and just one-clicked the latest release, so maybe it’s time for my next dark love story. 😉 P.S. Both can be read as standalones.
Linda: Just started Hostage last night and only 10% (started way to late) in but I’m hooked!!
Dina: I really enjoyed The Prisoner by Skye Warren and Annika Martin and I would love to see the series continued. I know you sometimes have updates from Skye Warren, and maybe you would consider asking her about this series?
Maryse: I asked Skye about a potential for book #3. She said as of right now, there are no current plans in the works however she’s “…not crossing it off the possibility list.” 😉
