Reader Recommendations for "Shy Guy" Romance Books

By 11 Comments

Jessica and Kristal have both made this request, and it’s a great idea for a list. Even if I’m mostly into “bad boys”, I find myself falling head-over-heels for the subtle boys too. Maybe even more so, now, than ever.

So let’s build it!! :D!!! P.S. Here’s a list of all the blog posts tagged “reclusive” 😉

Jessica: Maryse! We need a list of shy guys! I love a cocky alpha as much as the next lady – self-assured, hot, bossy, he knows the chick is can’t resist his charms… but the shy guy is an untapped resource of swoon! read more

HEROES WHO ARE STILL VIRGINS REQUEST!! <— Oh I LOVE this reader request!! In fact one of my very favorite books ever (that one to the left), featured EXACTLY what Jaime is looking for.

And already, I’m getting so many awesome reader recommendations. I was going to wait a few days to put this up, but no time like the present. We are on FIRE for these heroes!!!

Jaime: I may have missed this list but do you have a list where the HERO is a virgin? New interest (after reading Archers Voice and Lass) so i haven’t read many! Thanks, read more

Sara Ney – Trophy Boyfriends Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

OH THIS SPORTS ROMANCE SERIES sounds like SO much fun (and unique… the sports stars all have something “special” – and not “romance-typical” – about ’em)!! Plus, I’ve read this author before and loved her humor!

About book #1:

“Hard pass.”

That’s what the last girl I slept with said when she got her first sober glimpse of me. She laughed, walked out of my penthouse—and I never saw her again. It doesn’t matter that I’m a rich, professional athlete; what mattered was my face. read more

Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books featuring Beta heroes…

THIS LIST IS NO ALPHA-JERKS ALLOWED!! 😂  A few of my fellow readers have a special request, and I’m in!! It’s been asked for a few times in the past, but Ryan’s request a few days ago spurred me into serious action!

Yes, normally I’m more into the alpha-males, but I have fallen head-over-heels with a few of the gentler, patient and unrestrained loving heroes too! So it’s their time to shine, here!!

Ryan asks:

Hey Maryse,

I love your blog and I can’t tell you how many good books and authors i managed to suss out from all your lists.  And a few genres that i didn’t know were missing in my life (reverse harem lol) 😉 read more

Reader Question… Solved! The college romance book set in Australia with a tall & thin heroine & a hero that doesn’t talk much.

By 6 Comments

Cat is looking for this one! Sounds like a fun one (I love the part about the hero)… 😉 but I haven’t read it. Have you?

She asks:

I’m looking for a book, if anyone could help.

It’s college romance, in Australia, the heroine is tall and very thin, hero doesn’t talk much. Heroine isn’t a virgin, her ex treated her bad, made her feel like she’s not sexy or something of that sort.

At one point there’s a hot scene where the heroine tries to be creative, she uses honey, not sure how. read more

Belle Aurora – Shot Callers Series Reading Order

By 2 Comments

 This one was HUGELY popular when it released in 2015, and readers have been anxiously awaiting more.

Grey: Lev by Belle Aurora… **5 stars*** Been a while since I’ve handed out a 5 star review. But this book is totally deserving. Angst, but not the typical run of the mill kind. Sweet… (“I want to be your penguin…” Awwww! *cue hearts floating above my head with stars in my eyes*) with a hint of spice, and some absolutely hilarious bits.

I don’t believe I’ve read this author before, but I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another from her! And I am seriously hoping she continues this series with other characters that were introduced. Read it, you’ll love it! read more
