Reader Question… Answered! What happened to these Renée Carlino books? And… a cover reveal of "The Last Post"!!

By 6 Comments

Jenn has a reader question, but this time it’s more along the lines of “where did these books go?”

And guess what? The author answered the question herself AND, while we’re at it, let’s have a cover reveal of her latest one and check out that OMG BLURB, shall we? 😉

Jenn asked:

Hi Maryse-

I am hoping you can shed some light on something for me. I am a HUGE Renée Carlino fan-like Tarryn Fisher and Colleen Hoover-I will click anything this author writes. Back in 2014 I shelved two books that stated were upcoming releases for her. read more

M.J. Fields – Firsts Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

Book #4 just went live! 😀

The author says:

1. Told in two married couples POV’s ( & some Lucas Links )

2. You must read Her First Kiss and His First Crush, first. (Could read 27 Truths and 27 Lies before that… but may want to kill me cause they are super angsty, have a love triangle and bad things happen)

3. Lots of sexy time.

4. Emotional AF.

YES PLEASE!! BRING ON THE ANGST!!!!! So be sure to ALSO check out (maybe even FIRST): 27 Truths: Ava’s story (The Truth About Love Book 1) & 27 Lies: Luke’s story (The Truth About Love Book 2) – obviously these are from another of her series, however they appear to crossover. 😀 read more

Book Review – When Ashes Fall by Marni Mann

By 5 Comments

When Ashes Fall
What an intense, truly unique take on a love story (or TWO love stories) that just might have you questioning exactly what is happening… and how she can be so deeply in love with two different men at the same time, without it being a what it appears to be.

Is it? Or isn’t it? 😉 TONS of questions and guesses for sure.

Lisa: I have so much love for When Ashes Fall right now. That book owned me. I opened it intending to just get started, since I was at work, and the next thing I know it’s 7 hours later and I’m making enough unladylike crying noises at my desk that my co-worker had to come check on me!!! It’s a gut-wrenching, yet beautiful story. It will break your heart, but also mend it. It is not safe for those averse to Marmies…but it is also NOT about cheating. I had such a visceral reaction to the storyline when it all came together for me. read more

Chrissy is looking for this one, and I might just know this one, so I’m submitting my own guess to the mix!!

She asks:

Hi there!
I’m newish to both your blog, and romance reads, and have completely been in love with your updates in helping me find what to read next!

Thanks for publishing such a fun blog.

I read the back cover of a book – even started it with a sample, and absolutely can’t remember what it is… I know I was recommended through your site, and was hoping you’d be able to help locate it. read more

Ginger Scott – The Waiting Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

ANGST ALERT!!! And book #3 JUST WENT LIVE (but this series must be read in order)! No worries, my book-twin, Amy, LOVED the first two, and I trust everything she loves. Also, I love this author so I know right off the bat, that this series will rock my world.

The Waiting Series, which follows high school sweethearts Reed Johnson and Nolan Lennox through football, life, love and everything messy that goes along with it. The series begins with Waiting on the Sidelines and Going Long. Book 3 is for more mature readers and deals with adult themes.

Amy: I loved Waiting on the Sidelines and the sequel!! Yes, it was teenage angst but it was ANGST! And we love angst in just about any form, don’t we? 

Beverly: Waiting on the Sidelines is awesome! One of my favs.

Cheryl: …ended up reading another Ginger Scott series, Waiting on the Sidelines. I usually don’t like high school H/h story’s but this was an exception. Book 2 they were college age and had a fair amount of angst. read more
