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?
Most of today’s reader questions will be recommendation requests for certain tropes. I have received so many lately, so let’s see what new lists we can make, along with what we can add to past lists (updates!!!) YAY!!! 😀
Okay first question is by Amy (and actually Priscilla, too!) and the way it was worded, what first came to mind was… “Does she mean Vampire books”? LOL! You can tell where my romance roots are. 😉 But once she mentioned one of my favorite books ever as an example, I realized we were going much deeper…
Yoly is looking for a book! Sounds scary, and dark, and I’m dying to know which it could be. Also, could have that forbidden-edge to it? Hrmmm….
She asks:
Hello,
I’m looking for a book, for the life of me I can’t seem to find it. I was strolling through my Goodreads community and came across a book that I remember going something like this:
A girl who’s family was murdered while she was in the house and she managed to escape. She ran through the woods and came across a home of a man who’s a recluse (and I believe a friend of her father or knows him).
This one passed just under my radar not too long ago, until some in our book-crew touted it as their “Best of May”. Admittedly, the cover didn’t quite catch my eye (even though I KNOW this author is much loved by many in our indie-romance world – especially her biker books). It was on my “new release” list, yet somehow I missed it for my own TBR list. Was it the cover? The “historical romance” aspect (which isn’t normal “my thing”)? I dunno, but OMG this one needs to be highlighted and I AM SO thankful to my book-buds for highlighting it for me!!
<— DARK READ/KIDNAPPED ALERT!!! She’s stuck out in the wilderness with a reclusive man and his sister. EEEEEEP!! SO GOOOOOD!!!
AND!! Book #3 just went LIVE today (although the author confirms it CAN be read as a standalone. That said, she was a major character in book #1, so I recommend reading them in order for the maximum effect). 😀
About book #1:
After a party gone wrong and in desperate need of money for the fall semester of college, twenty-year-old Nora Robertson needs to escape her hometown.
Amy has one for us! I think I read this one, only just a few months ago. Two actually, are coming to mind (similar genres, reclusive men, destruction or upset over creations), but one is in the mountains/woods, and the other is her parents beach rentals.
She asks:
I have over 2,000 books and can’t remember the title of a recluse where the girl goes to stay at a house in the beach and after watching the H salivate but she becomes intrigued.
Eventually she gets under his skin and get together,
