Like BOTH of those up there that look so angsty-good. Or that one RIGHT below that I read and loved (tried and true and so well explored!!!) Or the student-teacher (eeeeeep!!), or the office crush (on her boss!!! *waggles eyebrows*), or the latest vampire (Twilight meets Outlander??!) series that is making so many crazy-in-love.

But they took me away from her and locked me up. For two years, all I could think about was her. She consumed me. Took up every room in my head and gave me something to focus on, knowing I would see her soon. Nine years ago, I watched her as she walked down the aisle and into the arms of a man who wasn’t me. My brother…“
  3. CROSS (A Gentry Boys Novella) by Cora Brent <— TWO BROTHERS AND THE GIRL NEXT DOOR ALERT!

Bethany-Kris – The Chicago War Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

MAFIA ROMANCE/FORCED ARRANGED MARRIAGE ALERT! And Lauren just found out that each book in this whole series is super-bargain priced for the next few days!!

Lauren: All of the books in Bethany-Kris’s Chicago War series are on sale… Excellent series! …I’d read anything Bethany-Kris writes. I love her books! The Filthy Marcellos series is so good but her best is the Russian Guns series. Best Russian Mafia books I’ve ever read!!!!

About book #1

Lies and love. This is how a war starts.

A life for a life. That’s the mafia way. Damian Rossi owes his life to a man who is ready to collect. That payment comes in the form of an arranged marriage to the daughter of another leading family in the Chicago Outfit. He’s ready to follow through, even if that means making sure Lily knows she’s his.

Lily DeLuca isn’t being given a choice. Forced home to marry a man she doesn’t know and back into a life she’d rather forget, her world is full of half-truths, buried pain, and uncertainty. But Damian is nothing like she expects. His motives aren’t clear. Her beliefs are being tested.

When it comes to this world, no man can be trusted. Someone is ready to flip the Chicago Outfit on its side all for the promise of something better. But no one runs a clean game and these men play for keeps. When blood begins to paint Chicago red, four families will be divided by loyalty, hatred, and revenge. There is no hiding. There is no safety.

No one is deathless.

No one.

Book Review – Dear Heart, I Hate You by J. Sterling

By 14 Comments

Dear Heart, I Hate You
You guys, this one was so very good! SO well-written (almost… tangible, real-life quality to it – as if the author lived these exact emotions, herself) traditional contemporary romance. Just pure instant-delicious spark (and yes, I KNOW that exists just with a glance – doesn’t mean insta-love but it does mean OMG HIM!!!!!). Followed by a sweet budding crush-type friendship and just enough angst to keep my heart (and my tummy) all a-flutter. Constantly.

Nope. There were no bad boys, no dark pasts to contend with, no illicit forbidden-ness of any nature. Not even social issues to keep these two in emotional strife. What kept them simultaneously alight over each other, and in agony, was their own personal drive (professional success was their only need) and trying to consolidate that with a relationship, that neither one were looking for, but neither are sure they can let go of, either.

…being single seemed to work best for me, and I had no plans to change my relationship status anytime soon.

Then I met Cal.

And he f**king ruined everything.

Well… er… at least one of ’em, anyway. THE. JERK!!!!!

So what’s it about? GAH. I LOVE these characters. Just… so authentic in all circumstances, and enhanced with “best friends” that had me grinning with glee.

Okay so…

Jules and Cal meet in a hotel bar. Both are on “business” trips of sorts (he, being a NY financial advisor, and she, a Malibu real estate agent) so both have lucrative careers and are at the top of their game. Highly driven, neither have ever let a relationship come between them and their career goals but when they set eyes on each other (by accident) one night at their hotel, and merge her group of friends with his group of friends one evening, the two can’t keep their hands off each other.

“What am I going to do with you?”

I said nothing, the response running through my head way too crazy to say out loud, let alone think. Love me? Kiss me? Marry me? Give me babies?

Mind you… that doesn’t mean they “do stuff” that quickly. Which I LOVED.

I love that her thought process about one-night stands (and worrying about getting attached from being THAT intimate so quickly) really matched my own.

One-night stands weren’t for me. I was far too emotional, feeling things way too deeply to just give my body away to any guy who wanted it. I learned that the hard way back in college after I’d given myself to a guy who had halfheartedly pursued me for months. I thought he really liked me, but when I slept with him after a party one night, he never spoke to me again. I was traumatized by his actions and quickly realized that I wasn’t the type who could sleep with someone and have it not mean anything to me.

She knows herself and knows her limits and knows she can lose herself quickly, and so she insists on just a “friendship” type hanging out, even though it’s so obvious they are SO into each other. And I loved that whole “getting to know you” time together.

And when it was finally time to part ways, the heartache was palpable.

My heart was clearly meant to want. It was meant to feel. It was meant to do more than just keep me alive. Oh, how I had forgotten.

After all, nobody uproots their lives (successful ones, at that) for a crush… right?

“She’ll be gone and then everything will go back to normal. My rule’s still in place. The world continues spinning.”

Not even one that seems to be a perfect match. A perfect fit. “The One“, even. ‘Cause “the one” doesn’t happen over the course of three or four days… does it? Not for this pragmatic duo.

“I’m going to get hurt at some point with this one.” The realization hit me so hard, I felt the unwelcome truth of it settle into my bones.

OH GOD YES. I get this.

But what makes this book extra special is the reality of it all. Because no matter how hard they want to stick to their original plan, no matter how much they want to let their brains rule their present and future, their hearts… oh their stupid hearts really do a number on them.

And us.

YAY ME!!!!!

And as angsty and infuriating as it gets (and… oh… it does!!) it’s done so on a fairly even-keeled level, ya know? Not so angsty that it’s ridiculous or over-the-top, but just angsty enough that YOU KNOW you’ve been there before. You’ve felt this before. YOU KNOW THIS. It’s written so familiarly, that you’ll be able to relate every step of the way, because even if this is not your story, it kind of, sort of… is.

THIS? This, in varying ways, has happened to all of us.

Loved it. It didn’t make me fly off the handle (or completely lose myself while I was reading it), but I loved every single moment because it was SO authentic and so relatable.

I would say my ONLY complaint (seriously, I only have one…) is that I wish this had been entirely from her POV. That would have made the angst, the ache, and reader-romance-stress so much more poignant. And then… maybe then… I would have lost myself entirely to it. That said… trust me. It was still pretty darn angsty in all of the right ways!

Who we loved wasn’t always a choice. Sometimes it was an irresistible pull, a gravitational force, something we couldn’t see or control that drew us toward another. Sure, we could try to fight it. But in the end, love always won because it didn’t fight fair. It had a secret weapon, a tool of sheer force to use against us—our heart.

And once that son of a bitch got involved, you could say good-bye to reason.

I really love and respect this story. These characters. This kind of connection and personal growth.

4 stars. EASILY.

P.S. Thank you to the author for sending me this review copy!! 😀
