Help! I can't remember the name of this book...
hello folks, So I am searching for a book I read rly long ago, I don't remember much abt the story, or the character names.
hero is a hard worker, who runs away frm his family , his family is vry loving with lots n lots of children , he sort of helps them too , discreetly.
heroine has a large family too, and they r all loving ppl if overwhelming. h n H kind of pretend to be engaged , not sure if they went n married on contract basis.
There was a baby juggling somewhere here.
I remember the climax scene , h learns something about the H , he was in bathroom n h leaves the house without telling him. then H goes n meets her , professing his love in front of everyone in her family , ( some breakfast table, I guess ).
Also , He made some mouth watering bana waffles.
Now, I know this is very little to go, but do ping me if you can remember the book name.
I think this might have been an 80s HP. I remember that the heroine and hero are pretending to be married. I think the pretending has something to do with the H’s ex or some other woman who is going to visit them at some point. Before this happens, the heroine has an accident and hits her head, scrambling her memory a bit. She knows she’s in love with the hero, thinks they are really married, and assumes it’s all as it appears. She doesn’t tell anyone about her memory issues, thinking it will just work itself out.
The OW comes to visit and the h is desperate to keep the H, so just before going downstairs to meet the OW, the h tells the H she’s pregnant, not realizing how impossible that is in their situation. Her memory does come back - I think right in the middle of the OW visit - she’s mortified, but all turns out okay once she and the H talk.
Ring any bells?
I read this book as a teen many many moons ago. I'd like to read it again but the title escapes me.there is a Doctor. I want to say Cuban. I think this is Florida. the hero has two elderly female patients who are like Aunts to the Dr. the ladies need or want companionship they are lonely and have a hard time taking care of little things themselves. Their niece who comes to visit suggest hiring a student. Then on one of Dr visits to them his sister is there assisting. the two elderly. ladies. the Hero gets upset about his sister working like a maid he goes off and tells the niece off and sparks fly. the Hero accuses Heroine of hiring his sister because she is Hispanic and they are good maids. he has a prejudice view of the social.classes. it is probably late 70s book

Get some tequila handy.
Oh I have two books I need help with. The first I don’t have very much info.1. Def a Harlequin Presents. I thought maybe Sandra Marton. The H & h are step siblings. IIRC both have blue eyes and black hair. The H does not like the h’s mom who is also his stepmother. There is a scene when teen h gives the H a sexy look that the h’s mom is know for. H berates h for the sexy look.
2. Possibly step siblings. H & h reunite after a long time apart. Heroine has red hair IIRC. They broke up because H believed lies about h reputation. H finds out h is virgin when they get to loving. H becomes super tender and gives h a bath and soak. Tells her he knows it is an emotional time for h because it was her first loving. Heroine later tries to run away but is surrounded by some kind of dangerous animals. Hero goes to save her.
Sorry both books are older. I think from the 80’s but probably the 90’s.

A Vengeful Passion by Lynne Graham?
Julie - Try looking through Flora Kidd, Vivian Donald or Jane Donnelly books. They all like Scottish settings and were prolific harlequin authors during the 70's.https://www.fictiondb.com/author/jane...
https://www.fictiondb.com/author/vivi...
https://www.fictiondb.com/author/flor...
The book is a later book. I want to say 90's or early 2000. Thank you though!

Yup I did a search on my kindle in A Vengeful Passion for "wall" and I found the nephew scene. It was great. It had the father scene too. I loved this book when I first read it. So I decided to do a full reread. Good job Ted!
SOLVED - Her Sister's Husband by Kimberley Reeves. Hi! Can't remember if this was Harlequin published but this is a contemporary/mildly erotic romance novel.
The book is about a tycoon kind of man who tracks down his gf/fiancee/wife who disappears occasionally and maybe has left him (I can't remember the details exactly). What he didn't know was that his girl had a half-sister (our heroine) who looked very similar to her, so he mistakes the half-sister to be his partner. I can't remember exactly when he finds out the truth and maybe he takes her with him to take her sister's place for revenge, or she goes along with it, but they end up falling in love. I remember that the heroine's sister would come to hers for abortions and that the hero first saw the heroine and felt an attraction, but mistook the sister for her.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I must have read this sometime between 2009-2011 but can't remember when it was published.
Thanks!

THAT IS IT! Thank you!
Please help me to find this one. H and h are married. h thought H cheated on her and left him. When the h starts dating om the H comes after her. The h wants divorce but the H makes her and her boyfriend come to his cottage to spend holidays. When the h's boyfriend brings her some type of flowers the H taunts the h about it for some reason (maybe because the om doesn't which ones are her favorite or she is allergic). Later when the H and h are at their apartment she sees that the H didn't threw her things away. Also the H was celibate

Please help me I've been going nuts trying to remember the name of this book I read many years ago.It starts out with heroine opening the door and fainting because she sees her presumed dead husband at the door. Her son then calls the grandparents over. Hero was a reporter who was in a plane crash and was presumed dead. Hero and heroine had had a fling when she was a teenager and had to get married since she got pregnant. After the crash the hero had amnesia and started a whole new life.
Since they have a kid together they decide to give the marriage a try (they had problems before he disappeared). Finally they find some of his diaries and all misunderstandings are cleared up.
The heroine lives on a farm somewhere and I think her name was scarlet
Please help me find this book
Thank you

Have you checked through the lists?
Here is one with an amnesia theme.

Gauri wrote: "Yes I did look through them but haven't found it there. Hoping someone Will remember the name :)"Approximate age of book? 80's, 90's, 00's
Se wrote: "Gauri wrote: "Yes I did look through them but haven't found it there. Hoping someone Will remember the name :)"Approximate age of book? 80's, 90's, 00's"
I think its from the early 00's or late 90's
I seem to remember that the heroine had plans to marry the village doc so there would be a father figure for the kid since hero had been presumed dead for many years. Hero also takes heroine back to the country where he was staying post the crash as he had to finish a business deal. There was a complication with the daughter of the business partner.
Finally in the end the sister in law gives heroine the diaries that hero wrote before he went missing and they live happily ever after.

This one has the heroine called Scarlet and a "back from dead" husband. Unfortunately, I think it's been listed under the wrong author or title. Christine Greig does have a book with that title but the synopsis is totally different.

Looking for an HP I think by Lynne Graham (could be wrong though) where the h & H get married , postpone their honeymoon because of business reasons. The h is babysitting a friend’s child & sees the H on TV @ some charity function with an old female friend. He didn’t say anything to the h about it. She goes to the place where the function is being held with the toddler on her hip and throws a glass full of water/wine at him & leaves. The OW comes to see her & explains that nothing is going on.

The synopsis listed there looks spot on to me, but that's definitely not the title. I looked up all the titles by Christine Greig and I think it might be passionate obsession. Not able to find a synopsis to confirm though. Thanks a ton :). I've been looking for it for years!!
Cheers

I can never understand how an author thinks that a H can get away escorting an OW around (no matter how innocently) without any explanation to the h!!! UGH!!!!

I am trying this again, the first time didn't work out too well, but finding this book is driving me nuts. So, if you can help, I would really appreciate it. Story:
H and h had a one night stand. I think H never calls h again after the first night.
Plot Points: 1.) h goes to H to let him know that she's pregnant. And needs his financial support until after the pregnancy.
2.) H then begins rearranging h's life, starts with moving her out of her apt to an apt in his building. He lives in the Penthouse.
3.) H has father issues, the H's father is unreliable, etc. Reason why he hadn't pressured h to marry was because he didn't if he'd be a good father.
4.). h LOVES Christmas, in one scene h has fully decorated the apt for Christmas.
5.) h has a dinner with H and H's Father that does not end well, ends in a big fight.
6.) H in a grand gesture buys h all the nursery items without consulting her, h is MAD.
I don't know if this is a Harlequin Presents (more likely) or a Harlequin Desire story. But it is very similar to One Night, One Baby except that the story I'm looking for took place in London/Australia/NY.
It is not a recent 2013 to 2018 Harlequin Presents. It is contemporary so maybe between 2000 to 2010? If you know this book, please take me out of my misery. Thank you!!!

I'm looking... but so far my search of unplanned-pregnancy and horrible-relative shelves hasn't worked; is this the one where the h is in danger of some kind?

Looking for a book where the h is blackmailed by her stepmother and stepsister with her dead mother's item, I think it was some type of a box. The H overhears them takes that thing away and blackmails the h into becoming his mistress. Later on he is scared that the h will leave him and one time doesn't use a condom on purpose which makes the h angry (she does not get pregnant). So the H takes the h with him to an event and proposes in front of everyone so that she can't decline.

Rosalba - I have tried to find your book but had no luck. Can you remember anything else? I have a vague recollection of a similar storyline, heroine ended up running away to a cottage in the countryside in England - near the end. I doubt the book is set in Australia (it could be, but I can't think of many Aust. books where there is an apartment block with Penthouse - generally authors put the millionaires in mansions).
Given what you've said about decorating for Christmas, if that was near the end of the book, it might be a Christmas release. You could check out the Harlequin December releases starting from year 2000 here:

I'm trying to remember this book but I don't have a lot to go on. I know this couple were married but the hero's brother told the hero that he had slept with the hero's wife. She left him and was pregnant. I think the book came out late 90's maybe early 2000's. The cover( I think) was sorta dark and she was blonde and had on a long dress. I think the hero was dark haired and the setting was either a balcony or a dark patio/garden like. I know he tried to win her back, and the brother finally did admit he lied about the affair.

it is a contemporary romance. The husband was presumed dead after he met some sort of accident. The wife was bullied by her in laws and after some time the huaband is back with quite dramatic entry on a helicopter maybe. he was very tired as he was back from some war affected area (not sure). he was very bitter towards his wife and thought that she had betrayed him becauseof the lies fed by his own family. thats all i remember.

I think it might be The Tender Trap by Beverly Barton - but I am still looking for the book to verify
Hello, I'm trying to find a book about a woman who sells her restaurant, buys a car, and travels the country selling food in her car. I'm a little rusty on the rest of the details, but I was hoping somebody would know what the title is. It is a children's book if that helps.
I think this is a Harlequin Presents, though it might be an old Romance...The book opens with a party and the heroine purposely leading the hero on, even though she's a virgin, IIRC. The hero thinks she really likes him and is pissed when she ditches him. It's possible that the heroine has a thing about disliking men generally (but this def isn't Wanting by Penny Jordan).

Uh oh. I think I remember this and it was a humongous train wreck. Boogenhagen will know. Is she out for revenge on all men? Does she taunt the H for a while until he calls her on it?
