This HaBO is from Erica H., who is looking for a Harlequin title (possibly): I am a reference librarian, so the fact that I can’t find/remember the title of this book is killing me. I remember reading it in high school and just loving the angst and brooding hero. It was a Harlequin (maybe Harlequin presents) from the mid to late 90s. The main hero’s name was Jamie, and he was a martial arts expert. The … Continue reading HaBO: Dancer Heroine; Hero Knows Martial Arts→
We have something a little different this Sunday. Recently, we received an email from Diana about her recent love of fishing village settings. She remembers reading a particular series set in Nova Scotia, but can’t figure out the title or author, and she’d love to read some similar books. Maybe we can help her out, either by reuniting her with the series she loved or giving her some great recs: I’m completely stuck. I’m a … Continue reading A Rec League HaBO: Fishing Towns→
This HaBO is from Eirene, who is hoping to find a romance she meant read before it disappeared from Scribd: I’m looking for a historical romance that I read once on Scribd before The Great Culling. I completely forgot to catalog it on GR so it’s now lost to me forever. (Also, it’s no longer in my Scribd history.) It’s a book where the hero and the heroine meet in India. I think this was all … Continue reading HaBO: Hero & Heroine Meet in India→
Happy Sunday! This HaBO request is from Aishwarya, who is trying to find a book based on this one scene: So, I read an excerpt from this book…I’m not sure where. The heroine is writing (and reading) in the library – she writes poetry- when she hears footsteps, so she hides under a table. It’s three men, one of whom she has a crush on. They talk about random things before one of them picks up … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Mocked for Her Poetry→
This HaBO request comes from Kay, who is trying to find a YA paranormal romance: Back in high school, I read this YA paranormal romance. I finished it, but the romance never had a proper conclusion. I assumed that the book had a sequel to it, but alas, the library did not have the book I was looking for. I didn’t even like the book that much, but damn it, I want a proper ending! … Continue reading HaBO: Motorcycle Ridin’ Ghost Hero→

This HaBO is from Carrie (not our Carrie), who wants to find a romance that’s at least a few decades old: I am looking for a book that I read in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I think the heroine was a nurse or a nanny who was taking care of a child (children?) at a house in the country. The hero was protecting her and the child. The villain (and also the hero I think) had … Continue reading HaBO: Porch Swing Sexytimes & a Telekinetic Villain→
This HaBO request is from Judy, who wants to find an older Harlequin: I’m looking for what I think is an old Harlequin because I remember the book was white with a circle picture in the middle?

This HaBO request comes from Chelsie, who is looking for a contemporary or possibly new adult romance: I’m trying to remember this book, it’s a college romance (I think) and it’s about these two best friends who fall in love with each other. At the end of the book the guy tells the girl about a tattoo on his back and it says a phrase that was on matching t-shirts they wore back in elementary school. … Continue reading HaBO: Hero Has a Tattoo Based on an Old T-Shirt→

This HaBO request comes from Kathy, who hopes to be reunited with her first romance novel: When I was around 13, I picked up my very first romance novel at a bed and breakfast. Dimly suspecting my mom might not approve, I hid it under my mattress, but it was gone one day before I could finish it. Since I wasn’t supposed to have it in the first place, I never asked my mom where … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Named After Teddy Roosevelt→
