The daycare owner is not the mother. The baby is dropped on the father’s doorstep and he calls for a nanny or something panicking. 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 →

This HaBO is from Elizabeth, who is looking for this contemporary romance: The first romance I ever read featured a reporter hero (I’m 99% sure his name was Theo) and a reporter heroine who met while covering the royal wedding of Charles and Diana. I remember the heroine had fiery red hair and violet eyes. I think the hero was Greek and Theo was the shortened version of his name. This book was set in … Continue reading HaBO: Reporters Meet While Covering Royal Wedding →

The next day, a furious man storms into her shop and says the bride has jilted him and that the seamstress … Continue reading HaBO: Seamstress Stands In for Bride →

This HaBO is from Mathilde and is hoping to track down this older title: I hope you can help me with finding a story I read 15 years ago, in a Danish print. It came in a magazine layout, so it was probably printed in the late 80s/90s. It is about a young female artist that works as a cleaner in a New York office. She finds a scrap of paper while she cleans up … Continue reading HaBO: Artist Uses Coveted Paper Scrap in Her Latest Project →

This HaBO comes from Laura, who is looking for this historical romance: I recently (a year ago maybe?) read a book. It was part of a series and I completely lost the name or author. This is what I remember: It is a Regency romance. The heroine fakes her death to escape from her abusive husband (an old lady helps her) and then she creates a group of people that help other abused women escape. … Continue reading HaBO: Historical Where She Fakes Her Own Death →

This HaBO comes from Brenna, who is looking for this older historical: It’s a historical Romance book from the late 80s or very early 90s. The main character was a street kid in London. She was proud of being a virgin, while many of the other street girls were not. She somehow became indebted to a man who seemed really gruff and mean, but of course had a heart of gold. She moved in with … Continue reading HaBO: She Starts Life as a London Street Kid →

This HaBO is from Kristin, who is hoping to find this historical romance: This book was a historical romance/romantic comedy. The hero helps the heroine escape from her own wedding. At the beginning he is running after her in a field or a garden; I think maybe he wants to bring her back to the wedding but she convinces him otherwise. They go on a journey by carriage and boat, etc. At one point they … Continue reading HaBO: Road Trip Historical with Dog Rescue →

This HaBO comes from Jen, who is looking for a historical romance. Jen’s way of describing this had me in stitches: I think I read this book in the early 2000s, but it could have been written earlier. The setting is medieval England but I don’t think there’s any actual historical characters. The hero is a lord of some sort. He was married previously, his wife died, and has a lot of children, like a … Continue reading HaBO: A Comical Amount of Children →

This HaBO request is from Tina, who is looking for an older Harlequin: I think this may be a Harlequin from the late 80s or early 90s. The hero is unable to draw for his comic and he requests a pinch hitter for the interim. Unfortunately “Tony” is actually Toni and hijinks ensue with the typical “Blah blah, but you’re a WOMAN (OMG)!” Of course she proves herself and he redeems his crap attitude for … Continue reading HaBO: Tony is Actually Toni →
