Reader Question…Solved! The book about the woman who pretends to be the prostitute he’s waiting for…

By 5 Comments

Beth has a short and sweet reader question for us! Maybe there’s just enough detail to spark someone’s memory. 😀

She asks:

Hey Maryse.

Love your blog. Your email messages always bring a smile to my face.  I need some help with a book I read fairly recently.

What stands out in my mind is a woman who pretends to be a prostitute this guy is waiting for and they have crazy hot sex. When she leaves he asks for her name so he can request her again.  She says her name is Candy and leaves the envelope full of cash on the table. read more

Broken Girl
With that gorgeous cover, rousing title, and a synopsis that absolutely gave me a *jolt*,

“He becomes the constant I’ve never had and the only man I’ll ever trust. There is nothing simple about falling in love when you’re keeping a secret like mine.“

I was anticipating everything this one promises. Personal angst, growth, and that inherent drama that we all crave in our potential love stories. I was intrigued.

So when the author sent me a review copy, I jumped in. And I enjoyed it! read more

Personal take on Broken Girl, by Gretchen de la O + a signed book giveaway!

By 16 Comments

Gretchen de la O just released a new book entitled Broken Girl and she’s having a signed book giveaway right here on the blog!

I love the blurb (here’s the part that made my gut twist): read more
