Marie Force – Treading Water Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Trina, and I just saw a review that says this is NOT your typical romance and your heart will be torn out. EEEEEEP!!! And OMG BLURB JOLT on book #1 already. Oh yeah. I see how this has that super-angst potential. P.S. The series finale just went LIVE!!!! 😀

Trina: Marie Force did an early release of Finding Forever, Treading Water Series, final book 4. She just wanted to make her readers’ day better amidst all this uncertainty. And she did mine!

Jodi: I’ve read all of Marie Force’s books …there is not a bad one in the bunch. Check out The Wreck and the Treading Water trilogy. Those are her best IMO! read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the hero finds out he has a son he didn’t know about.

Aimee needs out book help! Oh I love single father & the teacher books… and this one has a bit of an edge to it. 😉 But, I don’t know it… do you?

She asks:

I am trying to find a book that I previously read.

I can’t remember much of it other than the hero finds out he has a son he didn’t know about. The person that tells him is the kids teacher, I think.

I want to say his ex kept the kid from him because he broke up with her over drugs or another guy. The teacher ends up involved with the hero. read more

Book Review – Single in Sitka by Katy Regnery

Single in Sitka (An Odds-Are-Good Standalone Romance Book 1)

*claps* I had so much fun (and feels) reading this one!! It wasn’t anything crazy or over-the-top tense or anything like that, just pure sweet (yet super-steamy!!! HOLY MOLY) contemporary romance, with just the right amount of angst to keep me concerned about how it would resolve. And a cop-romance which I’ve obviously got a thing for. YAY ME!! I one-clicked this on release day SO HARD. 😉

It hit all my romance-buttons:

  • A sweet and loving (and grieving) single father – check
  • An interesting (and very plausible) date potential? – check!
  • A not so pleasant (but also plausible) “meet cute” – CHECK!!

“What? What do you want?” I finally yell, stopping to face him. “Why can’t you leave me alone?” read more

Book Review – Park Avenue Player by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Park Avenue Player

I couldn’t help myself but jump right into this one after the authors sent it my way (squirreling from my two thrillers I had started) ’cause I kept hearing about a twist many didn’t see coming, and that’s just my catnip!!!! I CANNOT RESIST A JAW-DROPPING TWIST!!! And this one had it, in spades!!! SQUEEEE!!

Susan: I just finished Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward. It was sooo good and had a twist I didn’t see coming. Oh my heart!! Such a great book 🤗🥰 read more

Reader Question – The book about the rock star that tours with his daughter, and his assistant that quits…

By 6 Comments

Christina is helping to look for this one, and I know I haven’t read it, but it makes me wonder why she got so sick of him. Bad boy antics?

She asks:

Hi, could you post this?

It was posted in a group on facebook and I know I’ve read it but can’t remember or figure it out! Thanks!

I’m trying to remember the name of a book I read a while ago….

H is a music star (I think) has a daughter who travels with him… she’s quiet and a reader… h is his assistant (maybe) and is sick of him and quits. The daughter and h are close and stay in contact…. read more
