Candace Knoebel – The Risky Hearts Duet Reading Order

November 4, 2018 By Maryse 2 Comments

<— EEEEEP!!! MARITAL STRIFE & A VERY RISKY “AGREEMENT” ALERT!! And guess what? The duet IS complete. So bring on the angst!!!!

Ashley: I just finished 10 Reasons to Stay by Candace Knoebel and it was so good!!! It says that it’s a duet but it’s a standalone. (Which I was relieved about!) I think the second book must be about another couple. It had a Roya Carmen feel and I love her books so it was perfect.

P.S. I just read a bit about book #2 and I recommend reading these in order (absolutely). Book #2 is a sort of continuation on what happened in #1 and you don’t want that spoiled. 😉

In the mood to read something that will make you cry? I have a list for that!

October 31, 2018 By Maryse 9 Comments

Okay… okay… 😉 I know NOBODY is reaaaaaally in the mood to cry. This is sort of a silly question, but generally when we cry while we read, it’s because we’ve become one with the book. Connected with the characters, which, wouldn’t it be fair to say, means the book is awesome? Exactly!

Awesome IS what we’re in the mood for. That journey, that connection, and that emotional growth that is often proceeded through heartache and pain, but that leaves us exhilarated in the end. Or emotionally spent. All that to say, we’ve got a list!! 😀 read more

Book Review – No Tomorrow by Carian Cole

No Tomorrow
SUPER-ANGSTY UNCONVENTIONAL LOVE STORY/ROCK STAR ROMANCE ALERT!!

ALSO… MAJOR BUDDY-READ ALERT BELOW!!! Lots of our reactions (some of us loved it and sobbed, some of us cringed and gasped. Some of us did ALL of that).

“Devastation masked in a love story. I see the appeal.”

No kidding.

Yesssss I can see why so many were hooked on this one (and this author). This is my very first time I’ve read this author, and she definitely “goes there” by way of angst, misconduct, swoon worthy moments, shocking situations and downward spirals. Thank goodness I had so many of you guys to buddy-read this with! read more

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story? A captivating book trailer can help make that happen. Imagine turning your book into a short, engaging video that brings your story to life, highlights its most intriguing elements, and gives readers a reason to want to know more. A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?
