Reader Question – The book about the man that fostered her but they fell in love…

By 5 Comments

Cynthia needs our book help! Ohhhhh boy I could swear I’ve either read this blurb, or we’ve had this question before… but either way, it is FORBIDDEN!!!!

I do know I read a forbidden one like this recently where her “uncle” (not by blood) became her guardian, and they hated each other… until they didn’t. It was Crossed Lines by Lana Sky and here’s my book review. I don’t think it’s this one, though.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I am very new to your blog as i just discovered it a few days ago and i am very addicted. thanks a lot for the good work that you do for books lovers like me. read more

Reader Question – The age gap book where she offers to be his muse and he paints her naked…

By 19 Comments

Mariah has one for us and her question is short and sweet! Hopefully there’s just enough here to spark someone’s memory! 😀

Actually it sparks MY memory somewhat. I’m thinking this was a book from back in 2012 or 2013? That’s when I remember reading it… but maybe this is a newer one?

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

This morning I was thinking about a book I read once but was not able to find it… Maybe you could help me.

I’m pretty sure it was an age gap.

The H was a painter or a photographer and the h offers to be his muse at some point (he paints her naked, I think). read more

By 14 Comments

Noelene has a reader recommendation request!!! This particular trope seems to be one of my most popular lists requests (but each time, it gets even more defined). Today Noelene is hoping we can make her a list of exactly this:

Noelene: Hi Maryse !
