Wow! I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but what I ended up with was a whole lot more than I'd bargained for. In fact, the only criticism I can come up with is that I'm not sure how "realistic" the plot was. But then, I know nothing about the mafia world, so maybe the plot was entire...
AD2 boys are amazing...... Oh Nat, i really just wanted to shake you some times, most the times i really just wanted to be her though lol. This book is fun and steam. The boys have some MAJOR life drama on their young perfect shoulders and are trying to save themselves and each other and just ...
A monkey's uncle This one just didn't grab me, I'm all about the romance and this didn't do it for me, I got fed up with not really knowing who's dads, uncle, brother , mother we were talking about, then there's the "big thing" that was completely obvious, plus the school boy Mafia bosses .....Th...
Review By Amy OMG!!! This book as amazing! Rachel has done it again! 5 stars for this beautiful piece of work. This series was my first look into Rachel Van Dyken and I was absolutely blown away. Excite was a sexy look further into the world of Tex "Vito" Campisi. Ooooo baby get ready for this fa...
It was a bit difficult finishing this book. I started to lose interest about midway through and was practically skimming afterwards. The heroine was a likeable character, but not really interesting enough as the protagonist. The hero was often described (by others and himself) that he was a cold ...
I purchased and read the boxes set of The Seaside Series by Rachel Van Dyken (Tear, Pull, Shatter, Forever). So glad I did as I was able to follow the paths of Alex, Nat, Demetri and Alyssa as they fell in love, out of love, back in love. And saw the growth of Alex and Demetri from broken confus...
I stumbled on this book and I’m so freaking glad I did. It was so short unfortunately but so funny and engaging. I loved this book from first to the last word. Both the twins Ambrose and Anthony were hilarious as well as charming. The heroine Cordelia even held her own in this story. The storylin...
DISCLAIMER #1: This novel is a re-telling of her Original novel in this series Elite. However it is told from the male point of view. It has been over a year since I originally read Elilte (in fact you can read my original review by clicking on that link). In the course of that review, one of the...
4.5-5.0 stars!Compromising Kessen is a cute, heart-warming romance that pops your eyes out! It's a bit on the edge of sexy yet sweet and funny and cute and I just love whenever they banter. Plus, if you just see how Nick and Duncan pulled things on the two, you'd rather roll on the floor and laug...
Fairy tales do come true!!The London Fairytale series has fast become my favorite of the Regency genre! With Upon a Midnight Dream, Rachel Van Dyken dazzles yet again by bringing the reader into a world rapt with romance, despair, hope, and laughter. Pick up this book, and allow yourself to be dr...
Whenever I pick up one of the Seaside series novels, it feels like a homecoming. Seriously. I have been with this group from the beginning and from the first chapter in Tear, I felt like I knew these people.Reading Strung was exactly the same feeling, and it was one that I dearly missed! Even tho...
The second book in the London Fairy Tale series, I really enjoyed Whispered Music! We learned very little about Dominique in the previous book and I wanted to know his story and why he decided to take Isabelle. I wanted to hate Dominique so badly, but when I learned what he had suffered through...
I like this series. Fun, romantic, clean. From the book.Spoiled New York rogue Royce Mc Arthur lives a charmed life. He sees no reason to settle down, until his mother issues her decree that he must grow up, find a wife and produce some grandchildren…preferably before she dies of old age. But his...
Eyes shut, I squeezed, then squeezed again. Oh wow, good dream. Very vivid. Like her breasts were really there, in my room, in my bed. In my hand. Well, since I was dreaming . . . I climbed on top of Blake and used both hands, cupping their heaviness, giving another squeeze as my fingertips went ...
The good news? I didn't work for the feds anymore, so I had nothing to hide. I could waltz right into Starbucks with a bloodstained shirt and tell people I'd just fallen off my Harley, and people would barely blink. It irritated me that in the face of something so terrifying — had you not been ra...
O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now! –A Midsummer Night’s Dream Frank SERGIO DAMN NEAR took off the door. His aggression was palpable, the air tinged with his bitterness, his anger. I let out a sigh as he rushed past me and took the stairs two at a time. The rest of the men communed in ...
What the hell? Travis had to pick them up? Wasn’t Jake rich enough to get them a car or something? Curse his family and their closeness. Mr. Titus wouldn’t allow it, that much she knew. For as much money as they had, they sure reminded her of “Father Knows Best.” Grinding her teeth, she walked to...
Could he be more of a dick? What the hell was wrong with him, ordering her around like she was a servant? Damn it. All he’d wanted was to be away from her—her and the memories of this once happy home. And then she’d gone and ...
When Ian asked, Lex told him in graphic detail about Mark and also informed Ian that he was going to rewrite the entire program that involved male clients. He didn’t want to take a chance that some guy like Mark could use Wingmen services and try to get a girl he didn’t deserve. ...
Upon entering the ballroom, she immediately found Lady Fenton and was escorted into her carriage. She sobbed the entire way to Nicholas’s house in Lady Fenton’s arms. When they reached their stop, Lady Fenton lifted her off her lap and looked at her. “He’s not upset at you, my dear. He’s upset at...
Seriously. I was never having sex again. Ever. I don’t care what that woman says to me to try to get me to break down. Hell, prance around naked. Nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for the pain she was enduring while I did nothing but hold her hand, feed her ice, and watch.“Are y...
I have two years worth of restless energy just waiting to explode, but I have no time to think of such things, especially since Mrs. Butterworth needs me. I run to claim my small animal and nearly cry when I see her little crate. With great emotion, I pull it off the conve...
"Yes." Grandma nodded enthusiastically. "I'm also a pilot." "Licensed pilot?" "Why do you keep saying license? Do I not look intelligent enough to have several talents and hobbies?" "Why did you feel the need to get all of these… .certifications?" "Because I know my grandsons. At one point, I fig...
Imagine my surprise that you would be so forthcoming with your feelings. My dreams await you, sweet. —Wolf Hunter watched as Gwen entered back into the ballroom. He'd had enough family dramatics to last him a lifetime tonight. The last thing he wanted to do was go visit Lucy's grandfather and a...
So I took a pill. Big freaking deal! We were at a party and she was seriously starting to kill my buzz with all that crazy talk on the beach. I was over it — I needed someone who could meet me halfway, who knew that when I gave them that ‘look’ it meant I wanted a piece of ass, not a lecture on w...
She couldn’t wait to see him again. It was the only thing on her mind.In fact, she was so preoccupied that when Francis announced the arrival of Sir Wilde, it took several moments before she remembered she had arranged for a meeting between him and Gemma that same morning.“Lady Bridget, I want to...
She wept against my body as I tried to lift my hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Please don’t ever do that again, Tay. Never again!”“You care.” My throat felt like it was on fire. I talked anyway. “You really love me?”“I do.”“Then I want you to do something for me…” My voice trailed off, and...
The evening sunset bathed her room in an orange glow, but she was far too distracted by her afternoon with Cross to observe the beauty of the light. Just what was happening? Biting her lip she paused before the hearth, watching the golden flames lick hungrily at the wood. Was he playing the part?...
Fine, fine, fine. Way too many fines in that sentence. Sure, Jake was doing a stellar job of convincing himself that being in the same room with Char wasn’t going to kill him. It was like junior high camp all over again. Except this time, he knew exactly what he was missing out on while the girl ...
So even in his death, I was never given closure. Most people get a funeral, a viewing, pretty music, lovely speeches. I was taken to a hole in the ground and allowed to mourn on my hands and knees in the dirt while Frank held an umbrella over my head. And when I was done crying – I cried some mor...
James Chapter Twenty-six Sebastian had half a mind to pay the vicar to merely sign the marriage certificate so he could be Emma’s husband and have the whole situation done with. He craved her, needed her, and was tired of waiting. As the vicar finally pronounced them man and wife, Sebastian, ...
By midnight I felt loads better, which was good considering I’d have to sneak back into my house.Demetri had fallen asleep so it was up to Alec to deliver me to the front door in one piece.“Ready?” he whispered as he unlocked the back door.I nodded.We padded across the backyard and quickly made i...
ETHAN HISSED out of the corner of his mouth as I tore off another hunk of warm bread and shoved it into my mouth. “You look like a damn animal.”“Mason.” Alex nodded thoughtfully. “I imagine he looks like Mason does when he feeds.”Mason let out a low growl and clutched his beer tightly with his ha...
An hour had gone by. I’d figured Gabe would have stopped by my room already to yell or throw things or punch me in the face. I expected him to at least send me a nasty text message about not keeping my promise. A knock sounded on my door. Smiling, I opened it expecting to see a large fist flying ...
Notes make sense to me. Women? Romance? Love? They elude me and I fear will continue to elude me until the day I die.—The Diary of Dominique Maksylov He promised himself he wouldn’t allow the girl to get to him, and here he was, drinking brandy in the last place he wanted to be. It was more than ...
It gives women the idea that he does not care a whit about propriety or society’s rules. I remember at one time being guilty of dousing my clothes in alcohol merely to suggest that I had been out gambling and whoring all night rather than nursing a head cold. A rake can never be too careful. Many...
