Rebecca needs our book help and OMG this one sounds awesomely romantically angsty and infuriating (eeeep!! He’s a sports star & cheats on her!!!) and there’s more.

She asks:

Maryse,

Robyn has a book she needs help finding. We’re killing two birds with one stone, ’cause it’s actually a recommendation she has for “ Our Favorite “Falling In Love With An Assassin” Romance Books” list, but she can’t remember the title.

She asks:

I also remember a book I read a long time ago about a woman who was a Mom who drove a mini van and took her kid to soccer by day and then at night was a hired killer.

I can’t remember the name of the book and have way to many books to look through to find it. read more

Tracey needs help finding this book! Rock star (but maybe not so much of a bad boy?) ’cause this one sounds so heartwarming and sweet!!

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

You and your crew of book lovers have always been great about helping me find my book titles!

I read a book a few years ago who I think was a rock star in a band and fell in love with a single mom.  They took her kids on tour with them and they made trips to the zoo and other fun things between concerts.  While shopping the oldest – a girl – almost gets kidnapped! read more
