Books with the Number Three in the Title


I created the Clock Reading Challenge a few years ago and it's still going strong. You can find all the info about this years Clock Reading Challenge here, if you'd like more details about the challenge and how to join the 2023 edition.

I've already done a post in the past with Books with Numbers 1-12 in the Title but wanted to do more detailed posts for each number and offer even more ideas for books to choose from. 

For this post I'll be sharing books with number three in the title. All the books listed I either own or have read. 



Three Small Bones by Jennifer Chase

Three Small Bones by Jennifer Chase



Smoke curls from what’s left of the beautiful family home on the edge of the woods. The heat is unbearable as she descends the stairs to the basement, past a set of bicycles––two big, one small. That’s when she sees three little white bones in the cracked earth at her feet, turning her blood to ice…

When firefighters tackling a blazing house in a quiet suburb of Pine Valley, California discover human remains, Detective Katie Scott races to 717 Maple Street. She calls a halt to the excavations the moment she sees the full number and size of the bones; someone has buried a whole family down here.

Working night and day, it’s up to Katie to prove her theory that the fire was no accident, that someone wanted to expose the secret in the basement. Tiny traces of explosives residue found at the scene is all the proof she needs. But the Cross family have been missing for months––leaving friends and loved ones in agonizing pain––what twisted soul would do this now? And why?

The case takes another heart-shattering turn when Katie’s suspicions over recent renovation work on the house leads to the discovery of more bodies in the back yard: two little girls, buried years apart. What other devastating secrets are hidden in this perfect family home?

It’s a dead end at every turn as Katie tracks down anyone who knew the family. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, reports of the Cross’s landlord harassing the family before they went missing gives Katie a crucial lead. With a menacing grey sedan following her every move, how many more innocent lives will be lost before Katie can dig up the truth?


The Three Kiss Clause by Christopher Harlan

The Three Kiss Clause by Christopher Harlan



Cormac Delaney was everything I hated about men—arrogant, smug and condescending, but he was also everything my body responded to—gorgeous, tall, brooding, and confident. Oh, and he happened to be a partner at the publishing company I was trying to get signed to. My book—“Fu*#$@Boys”—about how men are selfish, sex-crazed pigs—was one vote away from being published—his vote. But not only did he hate my book, he asked me a question that would change things between us forever: “How can you be an expert on men when you’ve never been in a real relationship?” He had a point, but I wasn’t about to let him know. Instead I did what any self-respecting writer and podcaster would do—I proposed a radical social experiment. Cormac and I would live together for one month as boyfriend and girlfriend. If he could change my mind about men I’d withdraw my book. If not, he’d agree to publish it. My only condition? No sex, or anything physical, whatsoever. I never thought he’d go for it, but I guess I was wrong about him, in more ways than one. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Cormac Delaney, even if he is easy on the eyes. . .fine, he’s good looking. . .alright, he’s hot as hell, but still! To do this I’m going to have to remind myself of a few things: we’re only an experiment, nothing more. He’s not the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen in my life, he absolutely does not have a body that makes me tingle in all the right places, and I’m never, under any circumstances, going to let myself fall for him. . . Right?



Three Little Words by Kathryn Reign

Three Little Words by Kathryn Reign



I always thought Parker was the one, the other half of my heart, the one I dreamt night after night about raising a family with.

Until I found out that he’d been f*cking Stephanie… among others.

Fifteen years.

After fifteen soul-sucking years of being with the same guy, I now find myself back in the dating world.

First, it’s Matthew, a data engineer whom I instantly connected with.

Until I stupidly said those three words, those dreaded three words that had him bolting out the restaurant doors.

I love you.

Guy after guy I’d meet, all heading for the hills.

Until Rodney Hersey comes along. Charming, sexy, and he loves me back!

Who would’ve thought?!

Immediately, I find myself dangling from his lips, tearing off my clothes, even getting married… after only one date!

But my life turns dark when I wake up in a strange home surrounded by four other women… all claiming to be Rodney’s wife.

What have I gotten myself into?

A dark, short story about what happens when you say “I love you” to the wrong person.

A Tale of 3 Witches by Christiana Miller and Barbra Annino

A Tale of 3 Witches by Christiana Miller and Barbra Annino



When a mysterious stranger invades Amethyst, IL, stealing souls to feed a demon and generally ruining Halloween for the local kids, three witches join forces to take him on.

This novelette reunites Mara, Gus, Aunt Tillie and Grundleshanks the Toad (from the Toadwitch paranormal series) with Stacy Justice, the Geraghty Girls and Thor, the Great Dane, (from the Stacy Justice paranormal mystery series).

As Gus, Mara and Stacy band together, they're bossed around by the cantankerous ghost of Mara's Aunt Tillie, tripped up by the spirit of Lord Grundleshanks the Poisonous Toad, backed up by Stacy's grandmother's coven, and given assistance by a local hoodoo master -- in-between episodes of Antiques Road Show, that is -- but they're still in for the Samhain of their lives.

If they don't stop the stranger's nefarious plan, the only thing they can count on is that all three of their souls will be at risk!

This is a quirky, paranormal adventure that combines thrills and chills with all-out spooky fun. It's a fun, fast-paced read that also works as a stand-alone to introduce new readers to the quirky paranormal world of the main characters.


Three Girls and a Baby by Rachel Schurig

Three Girls and a Baby by Rachel Schurig



This fun chick lit novel is Book #1 in the best-selling Three Girls series!

The first book in Rachel Schurig's Love Story series is also free now! Check out In Search of a Love Story on Amazon.

Ginny McKensie's life is spiraling out of control.

Finished with college, she should have been planning her wedding. After all, Ginny and Josh were made for each other—everyone said so. Except the love of her life didn't agree.

Now Ginny is back in her hometown, unwillingly single, and stuck in a dead-end job. When she discovers she's pregnant, Ginny is convinced her life is ending. Instead of planning a future with Josh, she's learning the truth about morning sickness, juggling bills, and seeing just how far designer jeans can stretch.

Her life-plan never included dating again (not even with her too-hot new boss), or being a single mother at 23. Now, with the help of her best friends, Annie and Jen, Ginny must try to re-imagine—and rebuild—a life she never wanted.

A free short story…the perfect treat for yourself this Christmas

‘A joyful, funny, feel-good story, packed with showtunes, romance and a wonderfully warm cast’ – Sunday Times Bestselling author, Miranda Dickinson on The Singalong Society for Singletons

It’s the age-old saying. You wait all day for a bus, and then three come along at once. But proposals? That’s just ridiculous. And yet, on New Year’s Eve, as the countdown finishes and the whole pub erupts in celebrations, Cerys finds herself staring at her ex-fiancé, Ricky. Who just so happens to be kneeling on the floor, ring in hand, asking her to marry him. Again.

And if that weren’t enough, hot barman Angelo, and longtime friend Huw also decide to pop the question. At the exact same time.

Three men, two real contenders, but just one choice. What on earth will she do?
