Debi & Danielle’s Mini Book Reviews – Dusty by Mary Elizabeth & Sarah Elizabeth

By Leave a Comment

Innocents (Dusty Book 1) by Mary Elizabeth & Sarah Elizabeth <— BLAST FROM OUR BOOK PAST ALERT!! This recommendation came on strong and HARD and it was for a hugely popular fan fiction that eventually became a HUGELY popular book. It was all anyone was talking about in our indie world, and it’s so fun to have found this old recommendation from back when it was still in its infancy.

Amy: …how exciting for the authors to start off writing their stories as fanfic and then to have them published! All I know is that I’m going to be reading Dusty *very* soon after reading the reactions to it. 😀 read more

By 1 Comment

Anu has a book she wants to find!! This sounds exactly like the books we were devouring back in 2016… and this trope is totally up my alley! Dark romance, bullies, rich boy/poor girl, then bad boy becomes protective… etc etc. YES PLEASE!!!

She asks:

Please help me find this book Maryse!

The book is about a young girl who is abused by her father. Her aunt comes to get her and her father thinks she colluded with her aunt and beats the living crap out of her. The father is into very shady business but well known she doesn’t report him as he has the police working for him, which she learned about when she called them the first time. Her aunt finds out that her niece has been beaten and can’t do anything to stop him as her father is very powerful. read more

Marian is looking for this one! One of my favorite tropes. Homeless or broke and the rich man that she falls for… er… but.. why was he slumped over? I’m so curious!!

She asks:

Trying to remember a book I read years ago.

The girl is an artist and poor.

She finds a man slumped by the entrance to a building and they have a one time thing, He is young and rich. He finds her and then looses her. His father or uncle lies to her about him.
