wow, that many! I only remember reading one, probably in the 90's It was set in UK, country town, there was a carnival link to the story, I think. h inherited a carnival or was trying to restore it but she was a mechanic?

I don't think it's this, as it's not a Harlequin... but this series is very Harlequin-like

JB (bookjo) | 10 comments I've been thinking of an old Harlequin. Could be 15-20 years, perhaps even more. Here's what I recall:

Both H and h are wealthy, living in Europe. Having a mutually enjoyable fling. But she's commitment-phobic. Seems like I remember the point that when staying at his place, there's no evidence of her but a duffel bag in the closet, no items strung about.

He mentions one night that they need to move the relationship to the next level or cut it off. I think he asked her to move in. So she grabs her bag and leaves. Later she's somewhere else in Europe helping young girls in distress, like maybe funding safe living spaces for girls on the street. But it's all a secret; she doesn't want any publicity about her efforts. And she's pregnant but not planning to tell her ex.

And the ending (epilogue) - which I might be confusing with an entirely different book - as part of the HEA, he plans a surprise wedding as he knows the idea of actually getting engaged and committing would stress her out, so hey - why not just dress up for a party and then - surprise! - it's a wedding.

Every time I visit this group I am in absolute awe of those of you who remember - or can find - old titles. I can't remember the the title of the HQ I read two hours ago!

I recall a surprise wedding in a Helen Brooks book, can't recall exactly which one. H arrives at h's place with dress etc and tells her they are getting married that morning. I think h got stood up at alter before or something. Maybe Satisfaction Guaranteed?

That's not it but looks like one I would like to read. So that's for the lead.


message 3818: by JB (new)

JB (bookjo) | 10 comments Se wrote: ...Maybe Satisfaction Guaranteed?"

Not that one. But thanks for the idea. I honestly am not sure that the surprise wedding is part of the same book. For that scene, they are upstairs (a mansion, of course) about to head down to a fancy party and he tells her he's arranged for an efficient and they can turn the party into a wedding if she'll agree - trying to head off her stress of a real wedding. I know I read that in a HQ, not 100% sure it was a scene from the one I'm searching for.

The more I think about it.... I do vaguely remember another one with surprise wedding near the end. In my foggy memory, they are outside walking to party and hero drops down on one knee and says they could turn it into a wedding. It might have been a Desire book. My new Kindle is not as good as old one at searching. My guess for that one would be mid to early 2000's. There are "commitment phobic heroine" reading lists on goodreads, perhaps try browsing one of those.

Rosangela | 14 comments I've read this book years ago in Italian, I'm not sure it's a Presents book.
The h is a country singer. She and the H were engaged to marry, she decided to go to sing to raise some money for the wedding.
Some misunderstandings and the H jilted her.
Years after they met again, he is a divorcee and had a daughter with heart issues, the child has a crisis and the h returns to sing to pay the operation, And the H thinks that the history repeats itself

They are out on a yacht and he keeps reapplying sunscreen on her obsessively. I might be wrong about it being on a yacht it easily could be on a private beach or by a pool. She develops a golden tan.

Hilarious review boogenhagen.... tropiest of the tropiest - lol
Is this the book that ends on a boat/super-yacht where the hero says he stayed celibate for 5 years? I could be mixed up with another.


message 3838: by Tonia (new)

Tonia Rodriguez | 1 comments Im looking for a book. Think its a historical romance. I remember the hero leaves the heroine on the stairs after wedding her, then disappears and she ends up ill. The heroes friend hunts him down and finds him at a different estate I think and he returns to see she was ill. Cant remember if it was herlequin or not either.


message 3839: by Bola (new)

Bola | 15 comments Will appreciate your help in locating this book.
Heroine was a designer at a company, I think she designs shoes, someone stole her designs and sold it to another company to frame her. After she was sacked, she got a job at a rival company with pay far lesser than she was earning before, but she took the job because she was desperate. On resuming, she was attacked on all sides and was wondering why her life was turning upside down, when her new boss, the Hero, told her he is on a revenge mission. Her father did something to the Hero’s family and because her father is dead decided to take his revenge on the daughter.

No, they end on a yacht, but the H's past isn't mentioned cause they only met a few months earlier..

I have been looking for it for years now so nothing new either.

Your follow-up comment says you thought the H was involved in finance. But otherwise, the description sounds like the opening scene of Boomerang Bride by Margaret Pargeter. Warning, H is a major jerkasaurus.

RaeB | 7 comments Looking for a book where the heroine was wrongfully convicted of a crime where the H was a lawyer involved in the prosecution in some way. I've found Cost of Her Innocence by Jacqueline Baird and Lady With a Past by Lillian Cheatham, but I feel like there are 1-2 others with this general theme that I've read but can't find/remember. Thanks!
