This HaBO comes from Aizee, who is looking for this historical romance series: The hero and heroine were both part of a pirate “family” (I want to say in the Caribbean) where the head pirate was the father of the heroine.

This HaBO is from Michelle, who wants to find this historical romance: There was this historical romance I read back in like 2006-07. This woman meets a guy who I think was either a gunslinger or an outlaw or something like that.

This HaBO request is from B., who is looking for this historical romance: I’m looking for one of the first romance novels I read when I was a teenager.

This HaBO is from Jill-Marie, who is looking for this audiobook: Dog Dammit! I was just listening to this series on Audible, but now I can’t find the third book; all my history searches bring up nothing (again, DOG DAMMIT!). Basically, there are two titled and now-happily married blokes and their (also happy) wives who have a friend(s) who are also married but NOT communicating. The series is fairly recent. The first two men find … Continue reading HaBO: Possible Gilded Age Married Couple is Estranged →

This HaBO request is from Susan, who wants to find this historical romance: I’m looking for a historical romance I read in the last four years. I’m guessing it was written in the early 2000’s. The book begins with the heroine at the church waiting to get married. The groom doesn’t show. The twist is the bride knows the groom won’t show up. Because he’s run off to Scotland or someplace with his true love … Continue reading HaBO: Bride Already Knows Groom Won’t Show Up →

This HaBO request is from Michelle, who is looking to find this romance: I guess you get tons of these requests, and here’s yet another one! I posted this on Reddit’s Romance thread, and someone suggested I ask here. I am copying and pasting my thread: Hero is half-spanish (not the Earl of Rayne). Years ago, spiteful rumors drove his mother out of England, leaving him with his abusive father. The woman driving the rumors, … Continue reading HaBO: Another Historical Romance Revenge Plot →

This HaBO request is from Randy, who is looking for this historical romance: This should be an easy one because I’m fairly certain it was written by a well known author and not written forever ago. I thought it was by Sherry Thomas, but I can’t find it just by reading the blurbs about her books. As I recall, the heroine’s husband died and they were childless. But, there has to be an heir in … Continue reading HaBO: She Fakes an Heir From Her Late Husband →
