Majd (majoudi) | 1 comments Please help. I’m for a book It’s a about a girl and a guy who have a fling and she tell the guy she can’t have kids so I think they don’t use any form of protection. The girl was told i think by her mother that she can’t have kids. She ends up pregnant and she don’t want to tell the guy. He figures it out (I don’t remember how) and then he goes to confront her. He start naming food in front of her to make her uncomfortable and admit she is pregnant. They go by the doctor and the doctor confirms that she only had a very slim chance to get pregnant and that the pregnancy is like a miracle . The heroine moves in with the guy and then she miscarries. She get depressed and the hero tries to help her but she moves back home. Their reunion is in a restaurant kitchen where she is cutting onions and tell the hero that it is the onion that makes her cry.

Shine | 19 comments I can't remember this book where I think it has a Royal H and the h is bought maybe for a job. The only thing I remember is that the h is bought into the prince/sheikh/kings huge plane and there are a lot of advisors and people. The h falls asleep and everyone gets out of the plane. Only later do they realise that she's missing and the H gives out an order to find her and they then find her in the plane sleeping. This book has been in head for so long and I'd really appreciate it if anyone can give me the name. And also I'm not sure if it's Harlequin. Thank you in advance.

Desiree Mendez | 1 comments Hi, apologyze if I am in the wrong place.

Looking for possible Harlequin Intrigue book? I must have read it around 2004 or 2005. I believe it was a trilogy about 3 italian brothers? I think I remember the cover being a bare chest with a cross necklace. I remember one of them rescues a girl he has been in love for a while and she has a scar in her back.

See post from Iris on 31st Aug with search instructions by cover on fictiondb. I had a quick look through 2003-2005 but none of the bare chests had crosses. This group is for Harlequin Presents / Modern - seems to get queries for many H lines.

M G | 11 comments Hello Everyone,

I need help finding an old Mills and Boon book.

I read it around 20 years back. Hero and Heroine are cousins. Hero inherits heroine's father's estate in England as women cannot inherit and heroine's half brother is illegitimate so he cannot inherit. I think Hero lives in America. Hero and Heroine sleep together. Hero goes back to America. When he comes back he finds out that the heroine is pregnant and he marries her and takes her with him. He fell in love with her at first sight.

Thank you
Monika

message 5566: by Se (new)

Se Mcgregor | 550 comments I've been looking for this for a long time! Think it was a Harlequin "super-romance" - 90's. H meets h at her ranch. H has investments in the area OR he could even be her guardian. h had been living with an older relative, perhaps grandfather/father who recently died and she works with horses. H and h fall in love, they get married and go to live in the city - maybe New York. Hero is wealthy but not billionaire status. All his work is in the city so he insists they move there. She hates the city, but tries to fit in, I recall her having a t-shirt tan from her outdoor work and couldn't find a suitable gown to wear to a gala evening.

Trying to appear more sophisticated like his friends, heroine gets all her long hair chopped off. On the way home, during heavy rain storm, she gets mugged, drenched, lost and has to walk a long way back to apartment. The H has to let her go, knowing that big city life has broken her. She moves back to the farm. They reconcile when H moves his business to nearest city so that he can commute when necessary and they can live HEA on the ranch.


message 5567: by Sana (new)

Sana | 3 comments Hi, I am looking for a book where a young earl/duke (don't remember exactly what it was) marries a much older woman (a widow and his friend i think). The heroine continues dating other men while she is married to the hero and he goes away to finish his higher studies (the hero is fine with this kind of arrangement). However, once he returns he asks the heroine to end her current relationship with some other guy and make their marriage real. The heroine is initially hesitant but agrees to this. Plus, the hero's mother (duchess) is very mean and complains that the heroine may not be able to have children since she is in her late 20's or early 30's. However, they end up having 3 children as something was mentioned in the epilogue. Would appreciate it if you can help me find the name of this book.

Hi Sana, are you sure this is an HP?
This is very similar to Sylvia Day's The Stranger I Married.
Only difference is, it's not an HP, the heroine is older to the hero, but only by a few years, and he does go away, but not to finish his studies.


message 5569: by Poorvi (new)

Poorvi | 302 comments Hi All,
I had posted about these before, but had no luck. Re-posting again incase someone has recently read or seen. If anyone remembers one of these at all I'd be very grateful.

1. The heroine goes to meet the hero to talk to him about her sister who is pregnant, and is stating the father is the hero's soon to be BIL, who has previously had a reputation as a playboy, but has supposedly mended his ways since he met the hero's sister. The hero's had reservations but the dude seems to make his sister happy. The sister is emotionally or physically fragile and hearing that the fiance may have cheated on her could cause her a major set back. Turns out the baby daddy was actually the hero's older brother and the confusion occurred because of a name mix-up.

2. The heroine gets pregnant by the hero via a one night stand, but for a change, while she's willing to have the child, she does not want to keep it, and is willing to give up full custody to the hero post delivery, and is staying with the hero for the duration of the pregnancy. Turns out this due to some trauma she has owing to the fact that her foster sister has a debilitating genetic disease.

3. It starts with the heroine being jilted at the altar by her fiance. He just does not show up at the church. It's a very embarrassing and traumatizing event for the heroine. The hero is someone the heroine already knows, he's either a good personal friend or a family friend. The heroine's family is mostly supportive (I say mostly because I don't remember if there were any jerks). In the end there's a scene where the hero and heroine are to be married in the same church and the hero is a little late reaching the venue. Still in time, just slightly later than expected. So defying tradition, he goes to the bride's room to personally reassure her he's arrived because he knows something like this would bring up bad memories for her.

message 5572: by Shine (new)

Shine | 19 comments Hi poorvi. The first novel from the list definitely rings a bell. I remember that the hero is a sheikh and that the heroine gets a job in his company only to confront him. She thinks that he got her sister pregnant. Also I suppose the sister is a model. But both the sister and the lookalike sheikh's brother are in hiding I guess. The sheikh blackmails the heroine to get married. This is all o can remember and I'm trying to find this book too

Hi @Pranathi
Thanks for trying, but no that's not it. I've read the book you mentioned, (Can't remember the name either LOL). But there's some key differences.
- It's not a sheikh book.
- The heroine's sister thinks it's the hero's BIL who got her pregnant. (It wasn't a deliberate deception, some sort of a name mix up I think)
- The BIL who used to be a playboy is now reformed and very much in love with the hero's sister, and they're either newly married or about to get married and finding out that he cheated on her could cause her a major health setback. For that reason the hero is very keen on keeping the matter very quiet.
- The heroine goes to speak to the hero because HER sister is unable to travel due to pregnancy, so she's not in hiding exactly
- In the end when the pregnant sister and BIL come face to face is when they all realise that the baby daddy is someone else.


Additional info:
This book was also adapted into a harlequin pink manga. But I can't find that now either.

Yamileth Cortez (yamileth_cortez) | 3 comments Help! I have been trying to recall the name of this book for a while.
The Hero and heroine are in an affair when the Hero breaks it off because he is set to marry someone his family deems a right fit for him. This devastates the heroine and in her depressed state she decides to marry as well and breaks up another relationship. I do know this other relationship is also an HP book but im unsure if it is by another author or the same one.
I do remember a scene where the heroine arrives to the home of the other relationship. She finds the woman from the other relationship and informs her the man will soon break things off with her because he is enganged to the heroine, and this drives the woman away in a state of tears.
I believe it is set somewhere in the 90s or post 2000s. There is a possibility it might be a book from the Desire line as well.
That is unfortunately all I can remember but I hope it is enough! Thank you!

Veronica | 3 comments Hello everyone, I can't remember a book I read.

I remember that a women marries a man from a higher social class (I want to say he is some type of nobleman in Europe). They get married and she has a baby but because the family traditionally lets the nanny care for the baby, she starts to develop anxiety around her baby because she is not allowed to care for the baby outside of breast feeding. She ends up leaving to get therapy, and then comes back to take care of her baby. However her husband doesn't know that she left to get therapy and thinks she abandon her family.

If anyone can think some book titles that may match this story, please let me know. Thank you.

Neri | 74 comments Looking for a book with a very nutty plot (I know, I know) - the heroine is framed by the (ex-)boyfriend for drug smuggling in an airport. She gets sent to the clink. When she gets out, she's jaded as hell and hell-bent on a cold-blooded, calculating ruthless revenge scheme against her ex, which I believe involved a complete make-over.

I wish I remembered more but that basic plot is fairly unique, I think...I certainly remember it!

Maybe A Willing Surrender by Robyn Donald?
Or Tiger In His Lair by Sally Wentworth?

The hero in Charlotte Lamb's Obsession has a serious snog with the heroine's married sister...in front of the heroine.

Vintage Harleyand is filled with heroes who have had past relationships with their heroines' now-married sisters who now want to reclaim the hero, regardless of their married state (see: Grounds for Marriage by Daphne Clair, and I feel like I should be able to name a Lynne Graham book that fits this mold, but I am blanking).

Katriane | 22 comments Pregnancy Romance - I cannot remember why the H and h break up, but she leaves without a trace. H tries to find her and finally does. She's in a small town, pregnant, exhausted from working 2 jobs, and living over a store. The towns people try to hide her during a town festival, but he finds her.

The pivotal scene is when he's waiting in the apartment and she comes in, but doesn't see him. She makes herself a hot drink, sits down, and then he makes himself known.

That's all I remember.

message 5596: by Booklover (new)

Booklover | 14 comments Please help me find this book.
The book begins with the H being blackmailed by his father into marriage with the daughter of his business associate. (The H's father had a medical problem recently i think but jou really sure) The H loves a house owned by his father and was always promised that he would have it. But now his father wants him to marry the h to get the house. The h is shy/sweet. I think that the H and h knew each other and didn't really have any romantic feelings for each other. I remember that the H had the h decorate the house. So i think she could br an interior designer (not sure). The h is forced into this marriage by her father who is a crook and who wants to cheat the H and his family. The h finds out about this after marriage to the H and threatens to expose her father to the H if he doesn't confess. But before the h can confess about her father's deeds. The H and his family find out about the h's father and they accuse the h of colluding with father to cheat the H and his family. I think the h is pregnant then and genuinely in love with the H and vice versa. I don't remember what happens later.

Can anybody help me find this book? I think it is part of a series. The H is the middle brother. His elder brother is already married and they want to adopt a child. He has a separate book i think. And the younger brother doesn't want to get married. But the father has plans for him too, i think.

I read this a few years back. This book could written be anywhere b/w late 90's to late 2000. I really have no idea.

Janelle | 2 comments Looking for an early 90's secret baby/child Harlequin or Silhouette where Hero is a VIP or a celebrity. The heroine is reminiscing in the beginning of the book, possibly on a plane when she sees the H in a magazine. Flashback to when the couple first meet. I think they both rent a small house on an island not knowing it's double booked. They don't like each other at first however when a tropical storm or hurricane comes to the island they work together. The h gets stranded on the beach and almost drowns however the H saves her. Shortly after they have sex then part ways after the storm or vacation ends. Years later the couple meet up, I'm fairly certain they hook up again. At the end of the book the H comes to h's house and thinks that there is another man upstairs because he hears footsteps. He almost storms off. It turns out the h has a child, the H's son!
