Iris (irismiss) | 10 comments Hello, please help me find this book. The h is a female farmer in frontier America but finds finds the workload too much for herself, so she decides to get a mail order husband. There comes in the H. He’s a German immigrant, widowed and has two boys. The boys ask him if they are to call the h their ‘stiefmutter.’
I can clearly remember him comparing the h to his late wife, who apparently didn’t like housework but would rather prefer paying visits to their neighbours.

YES !!! come here for a hug !! Thanx so so much :D

Another one, She's a model and did the big posters and even an advert, he's an extremely famous author but she doesn't find out until their wedding day when he signs his full name. She disappears, but calls him at home and a woman with a beautiful voice answers. We later learn that she's the sister of harry/henry (not sure of the hero's first name).

Sruthi (sruthisays) | 44 comments Hello,

I am looking for a Historical romance. I think its a part of a series where heroine's brother had his own book.

H and h have known each other for years, they were intimate. I think the H had amnesia, but i am not sure. h had a secret child, book opens when they meet years later.

Any ideas ?

Dianne Ysabel | 6 comments Hi, I've been looking the title of this book for days now and it'll be nice too get some help :) The book was about this woman who faked her own death. Years had passed since the guy has been mourning this girl and just one night he sees her walking down the street and called out her name. The girl asked him "Do I know you?". Or something like that. So now aside from faking her death, she's now faking amnesia. Plus she also hid their son from him. Please, please help me. Thank you!

message 6762: by Alissa (new)

Alissa | 2 comments Hello! I'm looking for a a book where the MMC is a Greek tycoon-type who blackmails the FMC's family to get her to agree to be his mistress. Their families are rivals and the MMC was previously beaten up at the orders of the FMC's father (who turns out not to be her father) after he saw her at a party or nightclub. He takes her to his semi-private island where she finds the ruin of a house that her father had destroyed because her mother used to meet the FMC's real father there and had an affair.

I think she has a business partner back in the UK who is pressuring her for a relationship and she ran away back to the UK after escaping the island.

Forgotten Passion fits the bill, but this is very vague. Anything else you can remember might be helpful, like about how old it is, anything about the characters or locations, etc.

Hi, I was thinking along Historical lines, but if as Rebecca above, you are after an older HPresents, then it could be Returning to Claim His Heir
I think the brother is in The Secret to Marrying Marchesi
And the sister is in The Vows He Must Keep

QueenT | 50 comments hello, anyone knows the title of this Harlequin plz?
Hero and heroine are engaged or married but OM and OW plot to break them up. they somehow the h drunk and in the OM's bed where the H finds her. I think it happened at a party the H did not want her to attend to begin with. I remember she woke up confused exactly when the H showed up and tried to explain but the H called her names and left after hitting the OM. Not sure if he divorces her afterwards or not but they break up as a result of this. The story starts years later. The rest of the details are fuzzy but the HEA happens after the OM confesses his deed to the H. Thanks y'all.

Rolivhuwa Rasila (rolie) | 2 comments Hello. Looking for a book where hero and heroine have an arranged marriage and one of the requirements is a child so the heroine goes to a fertility clinic and arranges to meet the hero there and when he gets there he picks her up and tells her they make a baby the old fashioned way


message 6772: by Poorvi (new)

Poorvi | 302 comments Does anyone know this book. I think it was by Lynne Graham.

The hero is a prince, soon to be crowned king. His first wife was also the daughter of his uncle who served as a Regent until the hero could come of age. She dies in a car accident, so the regent uncle, in his grief makes the law that women aren't allowed to drive. Towards the end the MCs (who are married) are having an argument and the heroine wants a divorce. So she decides to take the hero's car for a ride along the highway, in the hopes that it would be scandalous enough that the hero would have to divorce her. The women of the country think that she's making some kind of a protest against the no driving law, so they all take to the highway in their cars to join her in solidarity.

Hi Poorvi,
I think it’s Zarif's Convenient Queen

The previous wife was on the phone while driving. She and the son died in the accident. H comes to the car in a helicopter and whisks her away for the HEA.

yes that's the one. Thank you


message 6779: by Poorvi (new)

Poorvi | 302 comments Here's another one. I had asked previously, but no luck. I'm hoping someone remembers this time.

The FMC and the MMC's brother are friends. He brings her to visit his family. They either assume that she's his girlfriend or he outright tells them she is. They raise some concerns that she might be a gold digger after his money. He starts to laugh saying if anyone is a gold digger it's more likely to be him, because while the FMC lives a fairly modest lifestyle, (she's a doctor I think) she comes from a family of oil barons in America that is far wealthier than them.

Poorvi | 302 comments Hi @Skt
I can't find any book by Diana Palmer by that name. And it's unlikely it's from the Long Tall Texans series. The one I'm talking about is set in a European country.

Lanai Michelle | 1 comments Hello All,

I tried to post something earlier and it ended up in the middle of 2010.

So, I am going to try again.

I am looking for 2 books. I am not sure they are Harlequin Presents, I can't remember the name so I can't check to see if they are. Most of the books I read are Presents.

Book 1: FL gets pregnant (I expect it was a one night stand).

She tells the ML, I think it was at his office. I assume she fainted. They end up at the hospital and the doctor calls the pregnancy a miracle. She had her tubes tied when she was very young.

I remember her ex asked her to get her tubes tied b/c he had lost a child and did not want to go through that again. They broke up b/c his girlfriend (or ex) got pregnant.

***

Book 2: The FL won an award for computer programming or video game design when when was young.

The ML is there with his friends, all college age. They say a lot of mean things to her. How she will not find a man b/c she is fat. I think there is a bet involved.

She opens a computer programming or video game company and is contacted by him. I think it was as an investor.

He tells her that her father is stealing her company money.

She agrees to be with him for the investment. I have the idea she is looking for a hacker or helping him with one of his programs.

He takes her to a house in the country. His mother brings her meals and encourages her to exercise. I don't think he knew his mother had contacted her, I think they had a bad relationship.

I don't have a lot of additional information.

Cross my fingers, this does not get posted in 2010 again. I deleted the other one so it is not a duplicate.

Thanks. L

KimReads | 35 comments Hi all,
I am not sure if this is a Harley or not (but if it isn’t it should be!)

H owns a jewellery line, among other things. h designs jewellery but he doesn’t really appreciate it. Thinks it’s too weird to sell.

h may be illegitimate or parents were divorced and she has her stepfather’s name. She is the daughter of someone who owns a chain of jewellery stores but doesn’t want to work for him. I think H doesn’t like her father. There is another billionaire who buys stuff for his wife (who may be H and h of previous book).

There is a big party where OW reveals her name and H boots her out.

The other billionaire turns up at H’s office and puts him straight about a lot of stuff.

h is at her father’s place. I think he apologises and asks her to come back but there are conditions so she says no and walks out. She meets the H outside. He has turned up in armour with a horse, because he wants to be her ‘knight in shining armour’. I think he falls over, not expecting it to be so heavy. Obviously HEA….

Lina5 | 3 comments Hi
I'm looking for a book
The h and The H are in their early forties
Both have teenage children who go to the same school.
The h thinks the the hero's son is bad influence so she approaches the H. The four of them end up spending the weekend together at the H's Villa.
I remember that scene where the daughter makes fun of the h (her mother) for wearing a bikini.

Deera | 11 comments Hi,
I am looking for a book I don't remember much about it but it is so similar to "Sale or Return Bride" not it though
Both h and H were forced to get married because of her grandfather and h has scars on her legs from many surgeries she had to go through as a kid. She thought H will get disgusted on their wedding night but of course, he didn't. I think h isn't in a good relation with her grandfather he is evil.
Does anyone know this one?

The grandfather is indeed evil.
She was in an accident when younger, has scars and GF refused to help.

Glad to help!
Believe it or not, I was looking for this one myself a while back. I was looking because the Evil GF getting appropriate just desserts doesn’t seem to happen very often.
Someone in this group helped with the title so I have recently reread.
It was nice to be able to pay it forward x

This definitely is not a Harlequin Presents book.

Hope someone can help you.


message 6797: by KimReads (new)

KimReads | 35 comments Hi Magic People,
I was just watching a comedian, (Sarah Millican) telling stories about lies they were told as kids about pets dying and it triggered a little memory.
I can’t remember anything about the plot of the book itself, other than I think it’s an old Mills & Boon/Harlequin book, from probably 20+ years ago, where the H was telling the h that as a child, he had a pet fish. I think he had the pet fish for years and he was aware that his mother was regularly replacing it if it unfortunately died. His father, however was not aware of this, and for ages would tell friends and acquaintances that visited the house about this marvellous fish that had lived for years and years and years. The mother and son never discussed her replacing it as that would mean they would have to admit what was happening and tell the father. The poor fish died soon after the H went to college and his father was devastated….
Does this ring any bells with anyone?

message 6800: by Poorvi (new)

Poorvi | 302 comments Hi all, please help me find this book.

The FMC is coerced into giving up her child for adoption. The child is then adopted by the MMC and his wife. They subsequently divorce, and the FMC comes to the MMCs house, intending to apply for a childcare job, so she can be closer to the child. The MCs marry to aid in retaining custody of the child. There are several small scenes throughout the book where the FMC tells the child an allegorical story about a witch who had to give up her son, and many years later when she went looking for him, she found that he had been taken in by a wizard.
