This HaBO request is from Erin, who is looking for a long lost Harlequin Presents: Puh-leaze help me! It’s the last book I’m looking for to help complete my teenage collection. (the Harlequin Presents books that I gobbled up in my youth, that my father threw out when I moved to Europe to work as a ….nanny, no joke!) I know it’s a Harlequin Presents, from the early mid 80’s. A title/author name would make … Continue reading HaBO: Harlequin Presents a Cruise Romance→
This HaBO comes from Anna, who is looking for a romance with what sounds like a very smart heroine: Can you help me find this surprisingly IT savvy book featuring a female law enforcement officer? I think this was the second romance novel that I ever read and it *might* have given me some unreasonable expectations of the genre. I picked it up as a teenager at some point in the 90’s (but am not … Continue reading HaBO: The Villain Loves Lladro, the Hero’s a Programmer→
This HaBO was submitted by Seb, who has been looking for a historical romance for a long, long time: So this might be a hard one. I read this way back in the day (my high school years, I think, so between 1999 and 2003). It was a decent size book, and had an old fashioned bodice-ripper cover. It was an American Historical, and, if memory serves, a bit of it went like this. The … Continue reading HaBO: She Makes the Villain Take a Freezing River Bath→
This HaBO is for Amanda, who read a paranormal romance sample, and is hoping to find the rest of the book: I had downloaded a kindle sample of a contempory vampire romance/urban fantasy ages ago, and all I can remember is the following tidbit. I’ve since gone through hundreds of book samples of vampire romances in search of the vase-and-vampire book, but haven’t come across it again. The sample introduced us to the heroine who … Continue reading HaBO: She Broke a Vase – Oops→
This HaBO comes from Sandra, who is looking for two books. I usually don’t run double requests, but both of these seem recognizable. I have been thinking about and looking for two books for a while now. The first I am pretty sure is a Loveswept romance. Late 1980’s era. The hero is a professional football players. A linebacker. Huge guy. Is left with his daughter or niece, maybe 3 or so, kid had dark hair. … Continue reading HaBO: Two Books, Both Contemporary→
This HaBO is from Francesca, who is looking for a historical she read long ago – back in the EIGHTIES. I KNOW. (I’m kidding- everyone knows the 80s were, like, last week. Right? Don’t lie. I saw pleated stonewashed jeans on three people in Times Square recently). Anyway, here’s Francesca’s description: I’m looking for a book I read back in the late eighties to early nineties. The cover art was by Robert McGinnis and had … Continue reading HaBO: Hugged Her Brother, Was Compromised (Yes Way)→
This HaBO comes from Marie L, who is looking for a historical romance: I WORK in a library and I can’t find the title or author of this book anywhere. Thought in might be in Sabrina Jeffries series The Duke’s Men but I can’t find a matching description in NoveList. Help! Published at least five years ago, the cover had a slipper against a red velvet background. The heroine and her friend go to a … Continue reading HaBO: Historical with a Shoe Cover→
This HaBO request is from Andrea, who is looking for a recent contemporary. Please, please Obi-wan! You’re my only hope! I’m looking for a shortish story I read fairly recently. Like within the last 6 months. But I cannot remember the title or the author. I think it is a part of a series, maybe about rockstars? It is a bdsm erotica that was medium-light on the actual sexy-times, heavier on the relationship. It is … Continue reading HaBO: Recent Rock Star Romance With A Domme→
This HaBO is from Gisela, who is looking for a contemporary romance from some years back. I’m freshly new in the site but I knew about this section for some time now. I’ve been looking for a book that I lose while moving to college, I hope you can help me out. What I remember is that the heroine was a elementary teacher and gets engaged to a boring uptight lawyer (I think he was … Continue reading HaBO: Ex-Military Bodyguard and a Heroine in a Costume Shop→
This HaBO request is from Yasmin: Wassup bitches?!! Anyone else here named after a heroine of a romance novel? A not especially good romance novel? Nope? Ok…moving on. It shouldn’t be a surprise that I started reading romance novels early. I was in 7th or 8th grade (so…1988-89-90) when I read the one that would make me a trashy book lovah for life. And I would really really love to find that book again! So … Continue reading HaBO: Alaskan Mail Order Bride Romance→
This request is from Vere, who is looking for a contemporary romance she read awhile ago: Hi, I love your site and I would like to ask if anyone remembers a book that I read a long time ago, around 2001, but was probably older, since I found it as a Word file on a refurbished computer from work, I think the girl that worked there before me was a fan of romance books and … Continue reading HaBO: Dangerous Snowstorms on the Ranch→
