This HaBO was sent in by Bobbie, who is looking for some ghostly sexxytimes: I’m looking for a book that I read while waiting for my mother to pick me up from the library when I was in my early teens (so 97-99ish). I wasn’t able to read it all because she wasn’t gone long, but it did contain the first sexy times scene I’d ever read. From what I remember of the plot is … Continue reading HaBO: The Ghost and the Sexxytimes
This HaBO is from Katie Lynn, who remembers so much about this book, I’m sure someone will know it right off the bat (pun totally intended): So, this weekend I was talking to a friend (who is my book partner in crime), trying to recall the title of a book I read last year sometime. I’ve been od’ing on sports romances, and recalled this one as being good and worth a reread. Except I can’t … Continue reading HaBO: Sports Hero, Artist Heroine, Sexy Baked Goods
This Help a Bitch Out (HaBO) request is from Erin, who is looking for a historical she read a long while ago: I have a HaBO request! I’m looking for the title of a Regency historical I read within the last few years (probably published ~5-10 years ago). It starts with two sisters and their father living in their country home. The estate is running out of money so the oldest sister brings in some … Continue reading HaBO: I Hope She Gives Him the Boot
This HaBO is short and sweet, and it’s from Rachel, who is looking for a historical she read. She remembers one key scene: Hello! I’m looking for a historical romance novel, possibly highland based. Anyway, all I can seem to freaking remember is the lead female is a healer (of course), and somehow gets hooked up with this big burly guy. Anyway, the only part I’m able to remember specifically about this book is: lead male … Continue reading HaBO: She’s a Tricksy Healer With Fake Blood Recipes
This HaBO is from PropellerBeanie, who is looking for two of the first category romances she ever read: Hi Bitches! In the early 2000s a neighbor who was moving overseas left six grocery bags filled with contemporaries – Silhouettes, Harlequins, and other line romances – on my doorstep. Not being into contemporaries, I sniffed in ambivalence and thought I’d just donate them. One or two on top caught my eye, and before I’d made it to … Continue reading HaBO: Pregnant Heroine with Feather Boas, and a Romantic Suspense with Ties
This HaBO is from Dianna, who is looking for a category romance about some dueling TV reviewers. I’ve been meaning to write to you for help for a while finding a book I loved and lost sometime in the mid to late 90s. It was most likely a Harlequin Temptation, from the era when they had the borderless front cover art and yellowy back cover. The story is about two TV movie reviewers falling in … Continue reading HaBO: TV Reviewers Sending Hot Anonymous Letters
Author Silver James is looking for a novella she read in an anthology featuring hot sexxytimes with a black winged angel, and she’s pretty sure it’s not Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series. I probably wouldn’t be trying to track down this book but confession time. I’m *just now* succumbing to the cracktastic catnip that is Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter/Archangel series. *hangs head in shame* I know, right?!? What was I thinkin’ waiting this long? *sigh* … Continue reading HaBO: Sexy Hot Sexy Angel Sexxytimes
This HaBO is from Molly O’Keefe, who is looking for that elusive type of forgotten romance: the vacation read. Sometimes it’s in the vacation home, sometimes it’s lent to you when you run out of things to read, and sometimes you read it, leave it behind, and can’t get it out of your head. Here’s Molly’s story: I’m writing because I have a HABO that has been killing me for years. I’m pretty sure this … Continue reading HaBO: A Second Chance Story with a Race Car Driver Hero
This Help A Bitch Out request comes from Amy, who has a theory that there are four total romances in the world. She…might be on to something there. I love my Kindle/library ebooks/Scribd, however the number of books I have read in the past four years is getting a tiny bit out of control. I semi-seriously joke that there are only four books, one for each genre that I read, as most of the plots kind … Continue reading HaBO: He Writes Math Problems on Her Body (Rwor)
This HaBO request comes from McKenzie, who is looking for a book that sounds both flaming and blazing: I’m looking for a book I found when I was about 12 or 13 and never had the courage to read because I was afraid the librarians would judge me (though I realize in retrospect this was absurd, because librarians are amazing). The title was “Burning Love” or “Flaming Love” or “Burning Passion” (there was definitely fire … Continue reading HaBO: A Flaming, Blazing, Passionate Historical
This HaBO is from Frauke, who has been inspired by all the brilliant HaBO solving around here! After witnessing another HABO solved, here goes my obsession of the last 15 years. I am afraid I don’t remember much details, but here it is: I read it 1995ish, but maybe it’s older. The Hero was an Englishman in China (or somewhere else in Asia). Maybe he was a trader? The Heroine grew up in China (?), … Continue reading HaBO: The Heroine Doesn’t Like Her Endowments
