Jennifer is looking for this one! AND!!! I think I already know it. IT WAS GREAT and so many here devoured this book! P.S. I LOVE “stranded/survival” books, especially between strangers, and everything that develops as they try and survive.

She asks:

It been a few years since I read this book but it starts off as a plane ride. There is bad weather but a man woman and a family decide to take a smaller plane into a island I believe they are visiting. read more

Reader Question – The book about the childhood sweethearts that find out their parents are having an affair together…

By 3 Comments

Kylie is looking for this one! Ohhhh almost a step-brother step-sister situation, but not quite…

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

I’ve just found your blog and I’ve been reading it all morning!

I’ve been desperately trying to remember the name of this book and would love your help. I think it was written in the 2010s and I think I read it around 2018-20.

These are the details I remember:

  • I think the couple were childhood sweethearts and they broke up after discovering their parents were having an affair together. It was the heroine’s mother and the hero’s father. Both of their families were pretty well off at the beginning.
  • At the beginning of the book, I believe the heroine’s mother kills herself and h goes to a snowy cabin to clean out her mother’s things where she sees H again. There they are snowed in together.
  • H is quite cruel to h in the present because he blames her for their parents’ affair together.
  • I remember her being a teacher at a private school and I think she was being stalked or blackmailed (not by hero).

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you!!

Anyone have a guess?

Joy: I think I know this one. Is it RoomHate by Penelope Ward? read more

Book Review – In an Instant by Suzanne Redfearn

In an Instant
FIRST OFF!!! GO IN BLIND – not even the synopsis – if you’re okay with (and even LOVE) INTENSE, good or bad SURPRISES!!! Even skip over my review altogether and just go read it for an unforgettable story. 😉

This was my selection in this month’s “Amazon First” read that I jumped on due to the recommendations and all of those incredible reviews. The enthusiasm for it, cinched it for me and because of that, I didn’t even read the reviews (or the synopsis). I knew it was a “women’s romance/thriller” and that was good enough for me. I wanted to go in blind, and had no clue what I was in for, and was delighted!! AND!! I got to buddy-read it with my book twin! read more
