<— SHELTERED HEROINE & AN EX-PRISONER ALERT!!! OMG I LOVE THIS AUTHOR & book #3 (the final book in this series) just went live!! P.S. Each one can be read as a standalone.

Jenn: …after reading back to back heart heavy reads I needed something light and sweet …-I love Tessa Bailey as she is my go to when I’m in the mood for that.

About book #1:

A man with a prison record has no place around a fresh faced college student. Tell that to Rory Prince. He should stay the hell away from Olive Cunningham. There’s one small problem, though. She won’t stop almost getting killed—and with this too-smart, too-sweet girl holding his heart in her hands, Rory is powerless to do anything but keep saving her. read more

K.A. LINDE’S LATEST & IT’S A BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE!! And… book #2 is going live at midnight!! 😀

About book #1:

Natalie Bishop was just supposed to be a one night stand. Until she steps out of the ocean at my summer home in the Hamptons completely naked.

The minute I see her, I know I can’t walk away.She claims that she’s just here to watch the house while it undergoes renovations.

That she has no interest in rekindling our fire. But every weighted glance says it’s a lie. I don’t care that I’m Manhattan royalty and she’s the help. read more

By 3 Comments

One of our LONG-TIME book buds, Kim, needs our book help! And now I must know which one it is, too!!

Makes me think a bit of Rachel Higginson’s “Opposites Attract” series (where the chefs/restauranteurs were in a foster home together), but we only get to know that as they are adults.

She asks:

I need help finding a book I read awhile ago and I’ve been searching for it since Sunday with no luck. It’s to the point I’m questioning if I just made up book in my head.

It’s a young adult/teen fiction about a girl living on the streets with other kids and she meets a wealthy boy whose family ends up helping her and the boys mother ends up opening a place for homeless kids to live. read more

Reader Question – Requesting recommendations for “other side of the tracks” romance books

By 3 Comments

Sarah wants book recommendations, and I can’t help but be excited by a list like this! This is exactly what I love, too!

She asks:

Sarah: So I just finished Cyanide by Ella Fields and all I can say is WOW!!!! That’s probably because I stayed up all night to finish it 🙂

But it got me thinking, I would love some suggestions of “other side of the tracks” romance books.

I immediately thought of Perfect Chemistry (A Perfect Chemistry Novel Book 1) by Simone Elkeles and the Crown of Lies (Truth and Lies Duet Book 1) by Pepper Winters but would most definitely appreciate other titles because I’m just not ready to let go of the angst that comes with these types of stories. read more
