This HaBO is from Amanda, who is looking for this Mills & Boon romance: There was a Mills & Boon romance in a bundle of old library books I bought when I was 12 or 13 – I was a 90s kid-turned-teenager, so as they were older books we’ll probably be going back to the 80s today. I can still remember a few points from the plot today and they’ve been niggling me for years … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Asked to Be a Surrogate →

This HaBO comes from Ava, who is looking for this romance. Trigger warning for the description below: Single mother on the run finds work on a remote ranch, where she falls for a broody rancher. I read this book 10-15 years ago and it was already a few years old so I’m throwing it way back, but I just really want to find it again. So the female main character is a mom and has … Continue reading HaBO: Single Mom Hides Out on Remote Ranch →

This HaBO is from Deborah with a bit of a different request: Sometime between 1985 and 1995, Jayne Ann Krentz published a very short story (flash-fiction length) in a newspaper. I think. It was an incredibly dry piece about a reconciliation between two lovers. As I remember it, protagonist A (most likely the heroine) is lounging on a beach when protagonist B walks up to lounge next to her and they exchange an obscure, mature, … Continue reading HaBO: In Search of a Jayne Ann Krentz →

This HaBO comes from Jill who wants to find this contemporary romance: This is a long shot because I remember so little and it’s not terribly searchable with what I have, but any help is appreciated from the SBTB community! What I remember about this contemporary, hetero romance novel is this: – the hero speaks another language fluently, I’m pretty sure it’s Spanish – both hero and heroine are a bit commitment phobic and view … Continue reading HaBO: Searching for the Paella Man →

This HaBO is from Heather S., who is looking for this romantic suspense: I read this romantic suspense book back in the late 90s at a friend’s house (isn’t that how many of us snuck our romances?). The deets: The whole thing takes place on an island or some tropical costal location. There was a car accident at the beginning of the book and the heroine had to have facial reconstruction surgery. She’s also the … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Has Facial Reconstruction Surgery →

This HaBO comes from Gloriamarie, who wants to find this time traveling book: This is actually a series of books involving a time-traveling heroine who is part of a scientific community. This is not the St. Mary’s series or a Connie Willis book. I found this series on the Ladies of Lallybroch reading list of other time-travel romances and I checked then out of the library. The main character enters some sort of tunnel and … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Time Travels with Aspirin →

This HaBO is from Shawna, who wants to find a book we may have previously featured: This isn’t even one I’ve read yet, but one that I had wanted to and foolishly didn’t save! I’m almost certain that it was in a Rec League or on sale that I was introduced to on here fairly recently – maybe the last year or so – but I can’t remember enough details to search for it well. … Continue reading HaBO: Hockey Manager Heroine →

This HaBO comes from Christine, who is looking for a romantic suspense novel: Hey there! So I am feeling like this was a series of contemporary romantic suspense books that I read about 15 years ago. T he books had connecting characters (brothers, I think). There was quite a bit of sailing/yachts in the first book. The hero was kind of a jerk. The heroine’s first name started with a T (Tallulah? Tabitha?) and she … Continue reading HaBO: Yachts & More Pearls →

This HaBO comes from Lee, who is looking for this menage romance: It’s an MMF contemporary romance that I read about 5-10 years ago. The heroine is a Black woman who’s neighbors with Hero 1, and her bedroom window looks into his house so she occasionally spies on him having kinky sex (the book cover had window blinds on it). I’m not entirely sure how Hero 2 comes into the picture, but I think he’s … Continue reading HaBO: Neighbor & Musician Menage, Plus Fire Ants →

This HaBO is from Cynthia, who wants to find this paranormal romance. Trigger warning for the description below: I’m trying to find a book I read in the early 2000s. What I remember most are: 1. The main character is a female journalist, who at one point is cornered in an alley by a would-be rapist but manages to escape. I think she let the attacker fondle her breasts before kicking him in the groin … Continue reading HaBO: Broody Vampire Meets Crime Reporter →

This HaBO is from Liz, who wants to find this historical romance: I’ve had the same book pop into my head randomly for years, but it’s just a couple scenes that I can remember. It’s a historical. In a scene in a carriage the hero presents the heroine with a necklace, I think pearl, and then proceeds to Google her Yahoo with it. After her results come through she accepts it and wears it to … Continue reading HaBO: Another Pearl Necklace Request →
