Following my heart, one book at a time...
And it’s a meme on my Facebook feed that inspired this. I LOVE when that happens.
*slams book shut*
“When I open this again, I’d better not read what I thought I just did.”
Vanessa: So been there! 
Maryse: For me, it was “How to Kill a Rock Star” – I lost it at one point and my Book Review reflects that. LOL!!!!
Aimee is in the mood for this very specific trope and these darker themed books (also subbed “Dark Romance”) are a guilty pleasure for many. That whole “slow burn/is he redeemable?” is in full effect in these “love/hate” stories!
I’ve delved into a few dark romance books in my past and while they certainly captured my attention (for example, “Comfort Food” was my first and I was HOOKED), there were some anti-heroes that I just couldn’t connect with.
Aimee is looking for recommendations and I LOVE this list already!! 🙂 In fact, it’s what keeps me smiling throughout – hen done right.
She asks:
I recently read a book that had a hilarious kid in it. I am looking for other books with funny kids in them.
Could you help?
Maryse: People kept mentioning THE kids. How funny the kids were. How they made this story… more. I can love kids in stories, but I often find kids are a bit over exaggerated in novels (or not quite true – to me anyway – to their age). But not these. And there were SIX of ’em. ABSOLUTE perfection on the “kid-front”. Hilarious, bratty, heartwarming, infuriating, goofy, and everything I expect in a story about a makeshift family that has to adjust in the face of tragedy.
Chika is looking for this trope, so if you are too, I’ve got a category just for you!
She asks:
I am looking for some books where heroine is in a relationship but cheats on her boyfriend and falls for hero.
Hi Chika!
I do have this whole “infidelity” category on my blog: https://www.maryse.net/tag/
Though sometimes it’s the Hero that cheats, but there are a TON with the heroine being the one to step out of the marriage or relationship.
I hope it helps!! 🙂
Anyone have any specific recommendations?
Wareesha: I was just wondering if you know of any book where there is a female assassin or like spy or something along those lines, and she has to integrate herself into a normal suburbia life style..
Honestly, I was just thinking about the movie Keeping Up With the Jones’s and then I was watching The Expendables the other day and it just came up!!!
