By 2 Comments

Nicole needs our book-sleuthing! And the last part of her question made me snort!!! This one sounds like fun!

She asks:

I have another book question 

In the book there is a girl who is staying at a guys house and he really likes her and she ends up sleeping with him most nights when his kid is not there. 

When the kid is there she stays in another room 

But another thing that happens in the book is that he takes very fast showers unless he is paying a little attention to himself then he will stay in the shower a little longer.. 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

Reader Question – The book about the hero that is the legal guardian of his siblings…

By 7 Comments

Sue needs our book help! Oh I LOVE “nanny” books, although I’m not sure this is one… still, it reminds me of a few books I loved like crazy (but in each one, the heroine was the guardian of her family members…) – Emma Chase’s “Sustained” and Mariana Zapata’s “Wait For It“. I LOVED THEM BOTH!! But alas, the HERO is the hero of this one. 😉

She asks:

Hello Maryse,

I hope you and the book community can help me out.

I’m looking for a book that came out approximately 3-4 years ago. I don’t remember much about it, but I can’t get it out of my head. read more

Bethany Lopez – Three Sisters Catering Trilogy Reading Order

By 2 Comments

This trilogy is complete (book #3 – A Splash of Vanilla – just went LIVE today!!) and it sounds wonderful and heart warming and everything we love our contemporary romance to be! Single dads, teachers, sisters and caterers and everything in between! 😉
The author says:

Each book will be about a different sister, and can be read as a stand alone, but the stories will intertwine.

About book #1:

For the past year, talented chef Millie has been consumed with running her new catering business with her sisters, Dru and Tasha. It isn’t until Jackson walks through their door that she realizes something may be missing in the recipe of her life.
For the past year, Jackson has been dealing with the fallout of his wife’s abandonment. He’s had to learn how to be a single father to their eight-year-old daughter, and will do anything to fill the void her mother left. It isn’t until he commissions Millie for his daughter’s birthday party that he realizes he’s forgotten that he’s not only a father, but a man.
They both think they’re content in their lives, but sometimes the right amount of spice can turn an okay dish into a magnificent one. A Pinch of Salt may be all that’s needed to bring Millie and Jackson the flavor they’ve been missing. read more
