Review of For Lila, Forever by Winter Renshaw FOR LILA, FOREVER When Lila's mother passes and she's sent to live with her grandparents on the island where they work, she certainly never expected to meet, and fall for, Thayer, the big boss' favorite grandson. She's unsure of Thayer and his motivations at first. On the surface he seems like a kind, if preppy and gorgeous, guy. But she's known guys like that her whole life, and they rarely end up being as good as Thayer seems to be. So she's naturally wary, and closes herself off at first.

But Thayer's set to return to college in a few weeks and Lila's only future is st...

Review of Harbor (Renzo + Lucia Book 2) by Bethany-Kris HARBOR (RENZO + LUCIA #2) "I'm going wherever you're going." As Privilege ended, I was cringing, and as Harbor began, I was still cringing. Because Ren & Lucia are on the run. And Ren (and Lucia) are going to do what they have to to ensure Diego's safety. What they will have to do will surely bring trouble down on their heads, trouble just compounded by the family that's certainly already looking for them. Marcellos look out for their own, so Ren and Lucia know eventually her father will send someone to come get her. But neither of them could have foreseen what would happen when her family came for them. And when it all went down I have to admit I got as angry as Lucia is when Harbor ends. Her fury is eating her up inside to the point that she's stone cold now, empty, as she looks at her life without her Ren. A life made that way by her own family. A family she's so pissed at that s...

Review of Privilege (Renzo + Lucia Book 1) by Bethany-Kris "That was the privilege of Lucia Marcello. Simply because she had been born." "That was the misfortune of Renzo Zulla. Simply because he had been born." So when this mafia principessa meets Renzo, one of the family's gofers, the instant connection they forged should never have been allowed to flourish. And yet it did. And another epic mafia love was born because Lucia Marcello was the youngest progeny of the Marcello family. THE Marcello family. "...her family might as well be royalty in the world of organized crime. Her father and uncles held three of the highest seats in the family. Even her brother was mixed up in it all." Of course her family was against them, but, her father underestimated Lucia's will, her determination to live her life the way she wanted, WITH whom she wanted. Thank God she had her mother, Jordyn, because Jordyn insisted Lucian let her go be with Renzo, to...
