Jacqueline J | 267 comments Just about 3 weeks ago there was a bunch of discussion about an HP, I think it was vintage, that I wanted to look for and now I can't remember the title. I'm not even sure what it was about. Step siblings I think. Does anyone remember recent chatter along this line?

No that wasn't it. I wasn't clear before but I don't think we were talking about it on this thread. Just a bunch of peeps that are on this thread were talking about it on their reviews of it and such. And I thought someone might remember.

pretty sure it had step siblings in it.

Nikki Smith | 2 comments The title of this book has been eating away at me... please help

Hero and heroine are married and he brings her to his traditional home where she is to become the new lady of the house. Hero has some kind of title like count. Hero enlists mother and another woman, I think she was his dead brother something, to teach wife the ways of the house. Hero does not know that mother and this woman hate and bully his wife. Hero doesn't believe wife when she mentions it. Something or other happens and wife runs away, fed up with husband and his family. I believe she was pregnant. She ends up at her uncles or step fathers that husband never knew about. The uncle/step father ends up sending a letter to the husband when he finds out he is sick. Husband shows up in the living room and forces wife back.

Help appreciated this has been nagging at me lol

Question Harlequin Superromance from the 1990ies
Dear all,
I'm looking for a Harlequin Superromance title, probably from the 1990ies. Was one of my favourites but must have got lost in the course of several moves.
Here are some details: set in San Francisco
SHE: is from Boston, teaching evening classes, single, has a child (boy?); was apparently raped by an ex-student, therefore keeping men at a distance
HE: works in a brew pub, taking evening classes, has a teenage daughter (was very young when he became a father), rides a motorbike, used to be a bad boy

It doesn't sound familiar. Do you remember what the cover looked like?

Sorry, only very vaguely: in front dark-haired guy in leather biker jacket. In the background young woman in pink(?) sweater/cardigan. Not sure about the bike, possibly. 'Frame' of cover lilac or silver (more likely silver). That's about it, I'm afraid.
Oh, and by the way: he has a teenage daughter, Shannon, who has quite a bit of attitude. I remember vaguely he took her to toen to buy a Maria Carey CD.
I also remember a brew pub called Gordon ....., last name ending in sh/sch.
Odd how one remembers tiny bits of detail but not the title! Thank you, Se.
Title is The Bad Boy (Harlequin Temptation #401) by Roseanne Williams The Bad Boy by Roseanne Williams.

Looking for an older book but not sure which Harlequin venue it was in.
Hi: Our Library is getting rid of a lot of books and I want to grab my favorites while I can. I'm not sure if they had this one or if it was borrowed from another library. It took place in the west. They went to high school together, and he walked out on her at the senior prom without telling her why. Years later, they hook up again and he does the same thing at another dance. Come to find out, his sister took a picture of her at a planned parenthood/abortion clinic and he and all his family assumed she got an abortion. Come to find out, her mother had early onset Alzheimer and the daughter went to the clinic for a blood test to find out if she had it. I remember she wore a yellow dress to both dances. Thanks in advance.

Jodie | 7 comments Unfortunately I have forgotten the name and author of this book. This is what I can remember. The heroines boyfriend cheats on her with her sister. She moves out of their apartment and goes to live with an artist.(I think her name is Remy.)This artist is practically a stranger. Her boyfriend and sister stay together since her sister is pregnant. At the heroines family barbecue she finds out her mother is not her biological mother. Her mother, sister and sister in law are really bitchy. She meets this guy who jogs every morning and they get together. I'm not sure about this part though, the guy the heroine sees in the mornings is a private detective who helps her to try and find her birth mother who was her fathers secretary. (I think)

Looking through Charlotte Lamb books might be a good start. I think a few of her books had dolls and teddy bears in them.

I recall discussion about a cover with a doll, but can't recall. CL sounds about right. Or Stephen King. ha

Amara (sbarutowska) | 2 comments Hey! I read this book more than a decade ago, and I'd like to find it again. The hero's name was Cade Westmoreland III and his grandmother (or maybe elderly aunt?) called him "Third". I can't remember the plot, but that name has stuck with me for so long, and it is unusual, so maybe?? I checked all of the Westmoreland series by Brenda Jackson, and I didn't see that name for any of the heroes. Thanks in advance, ladies!

Not sure of a Cade in Brenda Jackson's AA series, either. There is a Quade though. I think I've seen the Westmoreland name used by different author but can't remember where.

There is a "search by hero" link here:

In Vegas, Baby, the hero is called Cole Benton III and he is referred to as "The Third".

Yuvi Javi | 1 comments Hi, I'm going crazy trying to remember the name of a book I read a long time ago. She is a doctor looking for a (I think is bone marrow) donor for her little brother. There's a doctor who works at her hospital and she makes him get tested because she knows he's her brothers half-brother from his mother's side. She falls in love with him but when he finds out that she knew that he had a brother and that she knew the mother that abandoned him he breaks up with her. Please help!!!!! Thanks.

Christina, but with tea (steepedinbooks) | 28 comments [SOLVED] I'm looking for a book I read about 15 or so years ago. I think it was a Presents, but it could very well have been a Romance or something. In it, the heroine is the mother of a set of triplets. She ran away from her husband before they were born because she (mistakenly) found out that she was his sister. She had a lot of anxiety about her secret and she her fear that her babies wouldn't be healthy because of it. I think the babies might have been kidnapped at one point. The hero brings her back to his home and keeps trying for a renewal of their relationship, but the heroine keeps pushing him away. She won't tell him about her being his father's daughter. I think the hero's dad died after telling her about that, but he thought she was her sister or half sister, so she and the hero get a happy ending after all. Anyone recognize it? ::crosses fingers::

From Boogenhagen: Three Little Miracles by Rebecca Winters


Christina, but with tea (steepedinbooks) | 28 comments I'm also looking for a book where the hero and heroine are married but having problems. Once night after an argument, the hero rapes her. She leaves and spends some time riding the tube at night. I think she left him and they were separated for a few years. She had a miscarriage while they were apart and didn't tell him about it. When they meet again, they are in the jungle. She gets sick with a fever and tells him about the miscarriage while she's delirious.

It wasn't a Brenda Jackson book. And I didn't find it on the hero search. But thank you.


Christina, but with tea (steepedinbooks) | 28 comments Looking for a Presents possibly from the late 80's, early-to-mid 90's. The hero's name is Nick or Nickolai. He's French. At the end, the heroine calls him to confess her feelings or something and he asks her if she will come to him at his hotel. She says yes. It's something about the fact that she was willing to put herself out there, to call him, to go to where he was that clinches the deal. He shows up at her door and HEA.

Lady | 5 comments Hi all,

I am looking for a book I read long time back but now can't remember the name. It was a PNR. The hero was a vampire and the heroine was a witch (I think). They were arch enemies. Somehow the heroine accidentally put a love spell on the hero and he fell head over heals in love with her. The heroine knew it was not true love, he was acting under a spell but eventually she gave in at the hero's sweet antics. Only devil (or lucifer or someone more villainous) could take the spell back but he didn't because he was having fun at their expense(or because of some other cruel agenda). Anywho the moment the heroine said I love you back to the hero, the spell gets broken and the hero starts hating the heroine again. The story goes like that. Few more details, the heroine had a power over earth or wind I think. No vampires could touch a witch...but the hero could somehow touch her..I am not sure...

So any good soul please help me find this book. Tell me its name.Thank you so much in advance

Lady | 5 comments Hi I am looking for another book that I have read long time back.
The hero and heroine got married because of a will(the heroine's father's). The heroine had gorgeous long hair which the hero liked and she cut it off just to spite him. The setting was somewhere in the mountains full of snow. At the end there was a misunderstanding where the heroine thought the hero made love to her out of a bet and she ran in the cold and got lost. But off course the hero saved her and later revealed he always had a choice to stop their marriage but he didn't because he fell in love with her at first sight. Please help.

many thanks.

IRE | 14 comments Hi I'm looking for a book where the hero is either Brazilian or Spanish and the heroine is working at a jewel shop. The heroine had left the hero and he'd come back. There are priceless jewels at the shop or something and so there's a robbery at the shop where she works and they end up locked together in the safe room or something and working their problems out. Can anyone help me out?

Hello,

No its not Valley of the Vapours :(..I just went through its synopsis and reviews...its not it..... The hero of the book I mentioned was not alpha type...he was very sweet and so was the heroine....they get married because of the heroine's father's will, which was read after he died. They met for the first time at the will reading. The heroine lived with her father in the mountains in a log cabin I think. She was sheltered all her life and studied at boarding school....little experience of boys and men.....
I think the hero was a researcher or sorts and he needed the heroine's father's study papers which was only accessible by marriage (but I am not sure). There was also jealous and evil OW.
Now I am thinking hard.....it might not even be a harlequin....because the cover of the book was white and it had a flower or bow in it....
