By 4 Comments

Kacie needs our book helps! Oh this one is already calling me!! It sounds sweet and funny and reminds me of some of my past favorite small town romance books that I crushed hard on, and I this’ll end up on my TBR pronto!

P.S. I totally get a kick out of what Kacie says about his neighbor. LOL!!

She asks:

Hi there!

Thank you for all of your recommendations! I find all of my next books from you! I need help finding a book that I am pretty sure I got from here but can’t remember it!

It’s about a detective or cop that falls in love with a small town home decor store owner. The owners best friend had a diner across the street and the detective has a crazy old lady neighbor that brings him cake every week. read more

Sue is looking for this one and it sounds super-sweet just from this description alone. 😀

I love books about single parents, and this one brings to mind one of my absolute 5-star favorites, K.A. Tucker’s “Until It Fades” (though I don’t remember a bed and breakfast in this one). Here’s my 5-STAR book review.

She asks:

Hello Maryse,

You’re followers were helpful last week so I’m hoping for some help this week.

Book is about 4-5 yrs old (give or take).

It’s about a hockey player who for one reason or another ended up staying at a bed and breakfast in Minnesota. (Blizzard, maybe)? A single mother along with her parents run the place. read more

<— SMALL TOWN ROMANCE SERIES from a new author that I have known for quite a few years now! I’m pretty thrilled that she’s writing and I’m in love with these book covers and book #3 (Wicked Hearts) is up for preorder!! 😀 In fact, the author says:

The hero in Wicked Hearts is my favorite one in the entire Poplar Falls series. There I said it!

I LOVE when authors give us personal tidbits!! 😉

About book #1:

The last place Sophia Lancaster wanted to return to was Poplar Falls. It’s the place that holds all the painful memories and unanswered questions she’s ever had. One phone call causes her life to take a turn, forcing her back to the town she hasn’t stepped foot in over twenty years. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the new girl in a small town that takes a job in a bar…

Tracey is looking for this series!

Her question reminded me of “Sweet Dreams” but I know who the owner is in that book, so instead, I’m submitting a different guess.

When Tracey mentioned the “pregnant bar owner” detail in her question brings to mind one that I enjoyed a few years ago, and totally has this feel (though I can’t remember the exact details or even if she owned the bar but I do remember a pregnant character in the bar and the new girl in town DOES get a job in the local bar). It was From Dust (Portland, ME, novels Book 1) by Freya Barker (and it is a series!) read more
