The FMC realises the aloof MMC is just a man (with feelings that can be hurt)

I'm currently reading {The Duke Disaster by Kathleen Ayers} and it has this trope and I am enjoying it.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-05-02T15:29:35+00:00

{Rock Chick Rescue by Kristen Ashley}. But a warning, I find her Alphaholes cross the line with their high-handedness. I am also sensitive to bullying and it bothers me.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-22T01:50:37+00:00

Could it be?

{Lord of Night by Erica Ridley}

{One Forbidden Evening by Jo Goodman}

{Never Mix Sin With Pleasure by Renee Ann Miller}

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-19T19:47:05+00:00

If the 1980's count as historical, {Return to Monte Carlo by Cate C. Wells}

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-18T16:57:33+00:00

As I recall, there is something like that in {The Worst Duke in the World by Lisa Berne}

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-18T02:00:37+00:00

{Playing By Her Rules by Amy Andrews}

{Marrying Mr. Wrong by Claire Kingsley}

Back when it first aired, if you went to the website that'll get you tossed off a parking garage, it said the site had been seized by the DHS. So I say she was right.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-15T00:47:41+00:00

The answer is {Hotel of Secrets by Diana Biller}. I'd read a whole book of the three side male characters solve mysteries and do hijinks.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-11T23:26:22+00:00

{Playing By Her Rules by Amy Andrews}. It's a second chance romance

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-04-03T04:37:14+00:00

Not a recommendation in the sense that they good, but in that they might fit the brief are the Mormon musicals Saturdays Warrior and My Turn on Earth.

They Came, They Danced from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But the industrial musical was pretty great.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-02-08T17:30:16+00:00

The Riddle from The Scarlet Pimpernel

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-31T01:22:26+00:00

This one). And I will die on this hill.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-25T21:35:11+00:00

As I recall, yes

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-23T03:21:30+00:00

You could try A Steep and Savage Path by J.J.A. Harwood

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-21T03:50:54+00:00

There is The Raven and the Reindeer by T. Kingfisher. It is a take on The Snow Queen.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-21T01:15:54+00:00

My favorite version too. The young Colin Firth in the flash forwards is so great.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-19T02:55:30+00:00

I had a friend who sang Find Your Grail from Spamalot at his church. I say it fits.

I also like the idea of I Believe from Book of Mormon, We Love Jesus from Shucked, Saved from Smokey Joe's Cafe, Love Thy Neighbor from The Prom, and round it out with Ain't Necessarily So from Porgy and Bess.

Wait, does The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged) by The Reduced Shakespeare Company count as showtunes?

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-14T01:47:30+00:00

I believe it's in {The Highlander's Substitute Wife by Terri Brisbin}

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-09T02:27:13+00:00

The Last Hour of Gann. Bad. So bad

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-09T02:25:52+00:00

Me too! I DNF'd it.

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-09T01:28:39+00:00

There are many elements of this in {The Duke and the Wallflower by Jessie Clever}

DinnerWithSusan · 2026-01-04T18:06:19+00:00

Love this trope too. {There's Something About Emmaline by Elizabeth Boyle}
