This HaBO is from Jesi, who wants to track down a paperback they read: The book was a random paperback but it was amazing and I re-read it so many times. This is what I remember: – Heroine’s name is Hazel and she is American. At the start of the book she’s on holiday in Europe where she meets… – The hero, whose name is Marcus. He’s rich and handsome (of course) and I think … Continue reading HaBO: Maple Syrup & Baseball →

This HaBO request is Susan, who wants to track down this historical romance: I’m looking for a historical romance I read a few years ago. The heroine answers an ad for a position (can’t recall what it was for, maybe a governess?). In reality the hero had placed the ad under false pretenses. He is really looking for a wife and is using the ad to find somebody inappropriate to his family. He decides she’s … Continue reading HaBO: Hero Needs Someone to Annoy His Family →

This HaBO is from Omphale, who wants to find this historical romance: So I was googling about the safety of leaded crystal (basically, I can use my grandfather’s leaded Edinburgh tot glasses so long as I drink quickly!) and it reminded me of this short Regency I read back in the mid-2000s (so it might have been Signet or Zebra) where all I can recall is an extremely suspect mental health “solution.” I have no … Continue reading HaBO: A Lithium-Glazed Pitcher →

This HaBO comes from Meghan, who wants to find this holiday romance: I recently moved and lost a box of books which in itself is its own disaster, but I can’t remember the name or author of a particular book I was hoping to reread. It came out pre-2021, and most likely sometime after 2015 since I got it at a Walmart somewhere between 2017 and 2020. It’s a contemporary romance, part of a series … Continue reading HaBO: An Artist Who Loves Christmas →

This HaBO request is from Tara, who hopes to find this contemporary romance: I read this book in the early nineties. (I know!) It’s one of those books that’s always stuck with me, and I’d love to reread it again.

This HaBO is from Maggie, who is looking to find this anthology: I’m looking for this anthology I read in high school. I think it was four stories around Valentine’s Day. One of the stories is about a married couple who live on a farm. They are struggling financially and their marriage is struggling because he’s the strong silent type who doesn’t discuss his feelings. She is pregnant and I remember her being on a … Continue reading HaBO: Valentine’s Day Anthology →

This HaBO comes from Sophie, who wants to find this contemporary romance: I’m hoping you can help me find a book I’m dying to re-read.

He falls for the woman who is replacing the local doctor. At one point they … Continue reading HaBO: Baseball Player Goes to Ireland/Scotland for Rehab →

This HaBO is from Emma, who is looking for this historical romance. Spoilers below: First time HaBO request here. Looking for a historical, I think I read it within the last two years and I’m pretty sure it was a new release and the first in a series.

His fancy building actually houses the premier daycare for the city so someone comes right away. It’s … Continue reading HaBO: Dad Pulls Some Strings to Get Daughter into Fancy Daycare →

This HaBO request is from Katie, who is looking for a long-lost Kindle read: I need some help finding a book that I read on my kindle years and years ago and that has since disappeared off it. It was a MFM romance—the heroine is at a party and is feeling bored and awkward. She’s nerdy, I think? She sees two absolutely smoking hot guys and thinks neither of them would ever be interested in … Continue reading HaBO: Nerdy Girl Dance Floor Grinding →
