Reader Question – The book where they are in a diner and discovers he has her ringtone set at Bruno Mars Gorilla

Michele is looking for a rock star one! Not a ton of info but just enough very specific detail that I’m sure someone will know this one right away!!

Now I gotta go listen to this song. 😉

She asks:

Hi Maryse, reader question help please!

I would be so grateful if any of your squad could help to put me out of my abject misery…. I would like to re read a book I read ages ago,
all I can remember about the book (aside that it was really good and had lashings of ‘feels’) is that it was a rock star romance (he’s the rockstar), they are having food in a Diner and she accidentally rings him and discovers he has her ringtone set at Bruno Marrs Gorilla read more

Rhonda needs our book help!! And!! She mentions this one is super-angsty (YAY US!!). I’ve read a few where the heroine falls for a nightclub owner, but I don’t think I’ve read this one.

She asks:

Dear Maryse, I am looking for a book (I believe it is a series).

It is set in Miami and she is blonde who goes out to a nightclub where her best guy friend is a bartender. She stumbles and is caught by the nightclub owner.

Later she sees him at lunch with her boss. She sells high-end condos. He is Hispanic and… read more

Reader Confession – What happens to our ebooks when we die?

March 27, 2019 By Maryse 5 Comments

Not really a confession per se (other than neither one of us thought of this beforehand), but now we’re thinking.

I know… it sounds a little morbid, but it’s something to consider, and I’m so thankful that JulieO brought this to our attention.

She messaged me saying:

My girlfriend told me something interesting the other day that I had never thought of.

Her aunt passed away and they had a ‘reading of the will’ and her granddaughter, who is in her twenties was bequeathed her 4 kindles which were loaded to the max. Apparently they both shared a love of books. Someone else got other household items or the car etc. but she was overjoyed with the kindles.

Apparently the attorney made the transfer of all books legal etc?
Just makes you think. There was quite a bit of money tied up in those kindles. Many people who are cleaning out loved ones belongings probably do not know the value of the e readers and the cloud storage and may have just tossed away.

Thought you might bring that to everyone’s attention.

Thanks Maryse for all you do. Sending you hugs right now!!! read more

Storme has one for us! This one sounds heartbreaking, but also uplifting considering…

She asks:

Looking for a book where the h lives with her dad and step mom who hurt her a lot (physically) and she’s bullied a lot in school.

Reader Question – The book about a girl who gets sick and goes to the ER a complete mess (and has a cute doctor)…

March 21, 2019 By Maryse 5 Comments

Tracey is looking for this one! Eeeeeep! Haven’t we all been there in some way shape or form? In fact!! I’ll tell y’all my own experience of this very thing. *snort* 😉

Okay, so… this one time, I was camping (not at band camp) with my girlfriends. We were only teens (15-16?) but at a fairly safe and popular camp site with parental supervision, and we had a MAD CRUSH on this lifeguard there named “Nicholas”. He was in his late teens to early 20s and cover-model worthy. Ohhhhhh but we never had the guts to actually go up to him and talk to him or even ask his name. Nope. But Nicholas was a total hottie, and a group of other girls told us his name (as they, too… were crushing hard, and much bolder than us).

Anyway… we never got to flirt with him, just ogled him from afar, and spoke about him for weeks to come. And then one night (maybe a month or two later) I was having an asthma attack and my parents called the ambulance. I’m makeupless, in ratty pajamas, with a crooked top-knot on my head angling to the side, looking like a ridiculous palm-tree-mushroom thing. And wouldn’t you know it… my EMT?? Nicholas. Yep.

I even asked him if that was his name, and if he worked at the campsite that summer, and he confirmed it (blushing, ’cause his crew were behind him laughing at the hot-mess-of-a-teen crushing on him wheezing through her nebulizer mask).

What a coincidence right?? IT WAS MEANT TO BE!!! Nope. LOL!!! We never ended up dating, or even… speaking. *sigh*

Stupid real life!!! That’s why I LOVE these kinds of books. 😛

Okay so… on to the question:

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

Love your website and I’m hoping your awesome readers can help me find a book.

It’s a romantic comedy about a girl who gets sick and goes to the ER a complete mess – unshowered, crazy hair and hokey sweatpants and is treated by a very cute doctor and they start dating.

I can’t remember anything else. Please help!

I think she wrote another book related to this and didn’t write anything for a long time and finally came out with another book this past fall. But

I could be wrong. Haha

Thanks for your help! read more
