MJ’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

It will still be in your listened log on audible, even if you delete it from your library.

Try Willow Winters. Sounds like some of hers.

Do the guys band show up to play and get pissed at hearing someone else playing their instruments? Then they realise they’re good… and they are the women?

Think the MFC’s mum pushed her into acting, and the bff was just modelling until the MFC came to her senses and refocused on music like she’d always wanted to.

There’s also an element of all the band bunnies are sluts and whores because they want to screw the band, but the guys are just guys for screwing every bunny they trip over.

Think this might be the same book I’m looking for, but I haven’t had a solve yet either 🤞

Again, close to, but possibly not quite what you’re asking for.

The truth in my lies.

It is, but is not, quite what you’re asking for. Seems close tho, and has a good twist.

Finally finding Faith?

It’s a Harlequin/Miils & Boon ish book

I always think of violet when I think of this book (her fav colour?)

As part of the event, she’s planing a fake wedding that he thinks is her real wedding.

She stages a Carnival wedding? Striped tents, food carts, entertainers.

The overall event at his house might be some kind of wedding fair?

At some point, they go through the estates attic and she shows him all the stuff (including fancy dresses) that her mum was trying to organise into an auction to pay the inheritance taxes.

Hi all, thanks for looking. This one’s just stuck in my head and I can’t fond it anywhere!

Ebook
Read between 5/10 years ago, could be older in hard copy (I don’t remember tech)
Set in London(?) in the 1990ish?

MFC is from a wealthy family (possibly noble), but had inheritance tax issues when the grandfather died. The mother was trying to sort it out when she died in a car crash. The double inheritance tax issue left the estate finished.

The team/gov in charge of the estate agreed to sell it as is to a rich rocker who wanted everything in place, so MFC had no choice but to leave with nothing.

As a privileged girl, she had no skills, so she started in event planning (parties). Eventually she had a well known business.

MMC grew up poor and built a huge business. Wanted to marry into nobility/wealthy circles to show he made it. His bride was a poor/ex-wealthy one who wanted to marry money.

The bride built this ridiculous wedding saga, and then ran out just before to marry her poor love.

While sorting out the non refundable wedding bits, they give into their attraction… loose touch, missed messages, secret baby.

MFC is hired to manage a charity function at her old estate. The MMC arrives back to find out his new home has been loaned out to a charity event, and the event planner is pregnant and he thinks she preparing to marry the baby daddy. She thinks he knows the baby is his, but chooses not to acknowledge it.


Thanks ☺️

Echo, by Janie Crouch

Randomly (?) reread a series I never would have connected to this book… but there it was.

They knew each other in school, but he was 3 years in front. He came back when his father died and she was 18. He thought they would keep in contact, and enter the multi communication mixups. Plus his Aunt (who not completely bad) has authority over the family money and has a grudge against her family, so she doesn’t bring it to his attention directly. Aunt lawyers up and pays the MFC to have an abortion and pays her off. Devastated, she keeps the baby, abandoning her scholarships and future, to work her ass off to provide a life for them. He comes back 5 years later, and has a stalker following him.

CM Owens, Sterling Shore series.

Long shot. Lila Rose’s Hawks MC series has a few situations. None like that from memory, but possibly mixed up memories?

Holding Out is the first book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Try Melody Anne.

She’s got a few series like that. The Baby for the Billionaire series rings a bell. Derek, Drew and Ryan, but there’s another set of cousins I think. Don’t remember who came first.
