Following my heart, one book at a time...
I could not WAIT to make this list, considering I’ve always been on a little bit of a “hermit hero” kick. And while there may be a plethora of cocky “book bad-boys” out there (taming them and the wild ride getting there is always fun), hermit romance books are kinder of hard to come by.
Candace: I one clicked Archers Voice on your recommendation and LOVE LOVED IT. I saw that you have an affinity for hermit lol. Can you suggest some more books along the same lines?
Anita needs our book help! Oh I LOVE reclusive broken Heroes and the heroines that soothe their souls!!
There’s one that I can think of (though I don’t remember if he was an enforcer) and that was Madeline Sheehan’s character “Dirty” in her Undeniable series (and we see his story with Ellie – though I don’t remember her being so much “sweet” as more like… a strong heroine). Still, this is my guess, or at least a guess with a very similar trope which is Unattainable. I LOVE this trope, and in fact, here’s my 4.5 star review of that one. 🙂
Maarja needs our book help, and she made me giggle when she said she doesn’t even know if she liked it that much (she wasn’t finished reading it) but she’s obsessed about finding it now. LOL! Let’s help! 😀
In fact, I have 2 guesses, but the first one is the one I’m pretty sure she’s looking for. 😀
She asks:
Hi Maryse!
I’ve been a silent stalker of your blog for a while (it’s amazing!), but now I`d like to try my luck with finding a book I started a while ago and never finished. I’m not even sure whether I liked it that much, but now I’m just obsessed with finding this darn book! 😀
I believe the hero used to be a hotshot movie director/screewriter something like that, and then something happened to his wife (she died? was cheating on him? divorced him? Something along these lines) and he moved to a cabin in a small (mountain) town and basically became an alcholic and a recluse.
Janet has two find-the-book questions for us! And in her first one, she’s not sure if she’s mixing up two books, or if both these questions pertain to the book she’s looking for, so hopefully this will spark someone’s memory. 🙂
Okay now, I read a book similar to this one back in my early blogging days. It was kind of a sci-fi book (he was an experiment, super-dangerous and in solitary) and he bonded with a doctor…
She asks:
Hi Maryse,
I’ve got 2 questions:
(1) I remember reading about a man who’s been imprisoned and drugged in an institution (mental?). Lady who works there (a doctor?), checks on him regularly, and is attracted to him. Helps him escape the place, went into deep mountains together to look for the wolves that’s like family to the man.
Ren is looking for this one! I love books about reclusive heroes!! I read one recently that had a similar feel to this… so I’ll submit it as my guess. 😀
She asks:
I read a book about a man who lived in the woods but was accused of a crime.
The woman was watching him via a camera at the police station. She ends going to his house in the woods and he helps her find her parents car that crashed many years ago.
I don’t want to give too many details but I believe the title alludes to watching someone.
Ekatarina is looking for this book! AND YES!!! I think I know this one and I loved it!!! So I posted it below, along with my book review of it. 😀 BUT!!! I’m still leaving this open for other guesses ’cause I’m not 100% sure.
She asks:
Hi,
Please help 🙂
So I’ve been trying to remember a book I read some time ago. Unfortunately, I cannot recall any specifics other than the plot –
It is on a (maybe Pacific) island, they are neighbors.
He just found out he is not the father of his daughter of around 14 years and came to the island to figure out his life and his feelings about it.
