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

Book Review – Carry the World by Susan Fanetti

By 5 Comments

Carry the World

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!! 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
