Tammy is looking for this book! Oooooh sort of sounds like one of my absolute favorites, so even if it’s not this book, if you like this trope, read this one (The Player Next Door: A Novel) too. 😉 P.S. Here’s my book review.

Everything pretty much matches up except for the cafe, and her neighbor is friendly (it’s her who is not so friendly to him) and he’s a firefighter. Everything else is spot on. 😉

She asks:

So, I need some help please . .

The h was bullied in high school and ended up running away. She returned, years later, when her grandmother (not sure) passed and left a house, cafe and recipes. read more

Rae needs our book help! Ohhhh tons of amazing detail and I LOVE the sound of this one. Super-angsty sounding, full of turmoil, and growth. I’m so curious!! I want to read it.

She asks:

Hi!

I read this about 2 years ago, but it might have been published before this.

This takes place in the US, (I think New England?) H and h are divorced and have a teenage daughter, of whom the H has custody. h had undiagnosed (at the time) mental health issues and abandoned the family when daughter was a baby. read more

Kelly needs our book help! Kelly is usually our resident question guesser so I’m thrilled we can help her with one (hopefully!!) *fingers crossed*

She asks:

Hi there,

I have a book I’m looking for from a few years ago…

Here are the details about book 1:

I think I might have read it around 2015-16 and I know I loved it, in fact I feel like it might have been on my best of list the year I read it. (So sad that I don’t have all of these books listed)

My recollection is foggy but I think the h is a social worker and the H has younger siblings. She is assigned to their case and it is maybe her first case on her own so she wants to remain impartial. She gets involved with the H and there are complications with the kids and maybe someone from her past? read more

Dee has one for us!! One I definitely want to read ’cause these are my catnip, too!

Almost sounds a bit like “Unbreak My Heart” but her name isn’t Fiona and they weren’t sister’s either.

She asks:

Hi,

I’m looking for a book where hero’s wife dies and her sister comes to babysit and hero realizes he always had a deep attraction to heroine and tries to conceal it.

Heroine’s name’s Fiona I think

Anyone have a guess?

Rebecca needs our book help. Ooooh the part about the step-children!!! They cause her drama, I’ve no doubt!!!

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I came across your webpage in my search for “how to find books I can’t remember the name of” and thought I’d give this a try. I’ve tried reddit and librarything but so far no response.

I’m looking for a historical novel I read maybe 15-20 years ago (but it could have been written even earlier than then, just giving you a time frame so you know it’s not a recent novel) about a younger woman who marries a wealthy older man. read more
