Reader Question… Solved! The book about the veterinarian that finds a biker who’s been shot…

Holly is looking for this book and I love that she mentions it’s not love at first sight between the heroine and the hero! Maybe a slow burn? YES PLEASE!

In fact, to me, all the details here sound like a classic Kristen Ashley book, so you’d think I’d know it. How am I not recognizing this one? Animal lover, Colorado, a murderer in town, bikers, con artist family members… and the whole “not love at first sight”. 😉

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

Help! So I need help finding the title of a book that I’ve read within the last year. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the girl that comes out of the ocean after swimming and he sees her…

Kaye needs our book help, and she doesn’t remember much. Short and sweet and I’m not sure if this is a contemporary romance, or a dark read or…? But this scene is pretty specific so hopefully someone will have a guess (or even… know it!!).

She asks:

Hi,

All I remember is a girl comes out of the ocean after swimming and a man sights her.

I think she is on private property.

That’s all the info.

Cheers K

Anyone have a guess?

Amy: Not much info, but maybe The Lifeguard by Teagan Kade. read more

Gin is in the mood to read a very specific trope (historical OR modern is fine). I can’t think of anything off the top of my head to recommend her in that regards? I’m not a huge historical romance reader, but I’m sure there are plenty in that genre…

I have read (and love) opposites attract/wrong side of the tracks books (a few where the hero is homeless that I LOVED), but I can’t think of any where he’s a slave…

Laura has a short & sweet reader question for us, but the one piece of detail is striking enough that I’m sure someone will remember. I mean… that title says it all. 😉

She asks:
