Welcome Cora Reilly/ Fragile Longing

30 Wednesday Sep 2020

♦ ♦ ♦

Sofia knows how it feels to be the consolation prize.

Too young.

Not blond.

And definitely not an ice princess.

Her sister is—was all those things. Perfection. Until she wasn’t. Until she ran off to be with the enemy and left her fiancé behind.

Now Sofia is given to Danilo in her sister’s stead, knowing she’ll never be more than second best. Yet, she can’t stop longing for the love of the man she’s been crushing on even when he was still her sister’s.

Danilo is a man who’s used to get what he wants.

Power.

Respect.

The sought-after ice princess.

Until another man steals his bride-to-be. Danilo knows that for a man in his position losing his woman can lead to a loss of face. 

Wounded pride.

Thirst for revenge.

A dangerous combination—one Danilo can’t leave behind, not even when a girl just as precious takes her sister’s place to placate him. Yet, she’s got one flaw: she’s not her sister.

Unable to forget what he’s lost, Danilo might lose what he’s been given.

♦ ♦ ♦

No one writes Mafia better than Cora. Her books grab you from the beginning and don’t let go. Sofia has always had a crush on her sister’s ex-fiance but being older then her, he never thought of her as anything but a child. Danilo agrees to marry Sofia when she reaches 18 since her sister, Serafina, was kidnapped but he’s not happy about it.
Sofia thinks he still carries a torch for her sister and tries everything to get his attention. When she pretends to be someone else at a party, his anger toward her sister takes a wrong turn and changes their relationship for a long time. Now, it is Danilo that is trying to win Sofia back.
I didn’t like his character in the other books so I wasn’t sure if I would like him this time, but he won my heart as well. Another great book from Cora!!!

♦ ♦ ♦

I was glad to be away from Sofia. In the past, our encounters had been mildly entertaining due to her awkwardness and crush on me. I’d watched her innocent flirting with amusement but never taken it seriously. She was a child and I couldn’t imagine her as a grown-up, much less my wife. Our life together had been an abstract concept.

Already at our last encounter I’d noticed a change, and now it was impossible to ignore. I noticed Sofia, not because she deserved my attention due to our planned future together. No. I noticed her curves, her beautiful face. Sofia wasn’t a kid anymore. She was a young woman with a desirable body. Now, her flirting didn’t seem amusing or like a game. It felt like a promise of what would soon be in my reach, a dangerous temptation.

I wasn’t a man who acted on impulse or followed his sexual drive without a second thought, but the mere fact that Sofia tempted me when she was still off-limits set my teeth on edge. I didn’t enjoy this feeling of being a slave to my instincts, but when I saw Sofia’s body, certain body parts definitely held more power than others.

The house was quiet and dark as I made my way toward Emma’s room. I carefully opened the door and peered in. Emma was asleep, her back turned to me. She was still my little sister, still a little girl in my eyes, which was at odds with my perception of Sofia who was barely older. 

I closed the door again and headed back out because I’d promised to return. 

When I stepped out onto the patio, my body tensed at the sound of steps but relaxed when Sofia appeared before me. She had her towel wrapped around her shoulders, for which I was grateful.

“Are you heading to bed?” 

She shook her head. “Actually, I was looking for you.”

My eyebrows shot up. The way she said it raised my hackles. It was difficult to make out her face in the dim light, but I had a feeling she was flirting with me.

“Maybe we can take a walk?”

“Okay,” I said slowly, not wanting to deny her even if I didn’t think being away from the others was a good idea. To my brain’s displeasure and my body’s delight, Sofia dropped her towel on the chair then headed down the path that meandered around the house. I followed her, trying not to pay too close attention to her peach-formed ass in her tiny bikini bottoms. “Is there something specific you want to discuss with me?”

Sofia stopped and looked up at me. She appeared nervous. “I just wanted to be alone with you. We’re engaged and are soon going to be married, but we’ve never been alone. We never really got the chance to get to know each other better.”

Sofia probably meant it in a very innocent way, but I couldn’t help but imagine all the ways I wanted to get to know her, especially when my gaze dipped to her erect nipples straining against the wet fabric of her bikini top. “We’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other once we’re married. Being alone with you like this is against our rules.”

Sofia shrugged as if it didn’t matter, but it did. We didn’t need another scandal on our hands.

Release Date: November 17

From Bestselling Authors M. Robinson & Rachel Van Dyken comes a full length, standalone romantic suspense novel 
_______________________________

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Can you get anymore cliche? I’d heard that damn phrase my entire life.
Most of the time, it was when a woman was mid-orgasm—or, when I was about to take someone’s life.
You see, we all have our demons.
Apparently, my name was mine. Though it didn’t help me get my answers any faster.

I nodded when I was supposed to.
I smirked when I needed to.
I complimented when the timing was right.

Then… I’d send them to hell after giving them nothing but heaven.
I should’ve felt guilt.
I didn’t.
Because I was good at what I did.

Making people believe what I wanted them to was an art I perfected. In a world where nothing mattered but staying at the top, I made sure no one slipped through my fingers.

Except for her. 
She was gorgeous.
One might say she was the female version of me.
I lost her once.
I wouldn’t lose twice.

Now was the time…

To let the games begin.

Title: The Best Friend Zone

Series: Knights of Dallas #2

 


Author: Nicole Snow

 


Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 3, 2020

 




 



 



 


Blurb

 






 


From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow
comes an intense, heartwarming, and funny standalone read where
friends-to-lovers insanity is fate for two stubborn hearts.





Just friends? Is a peach pie to the face “just” a little mishap?


I know what I felt the day Quinn Faulkner saved me from death by dessert.


My best friend was always The One. The Impossible.


Older. Flawless. Brutally gorgeous. A small-town prince of summer crushes.


Leagues above a tag-along dance nerd like me.





Years later, my uncle needs a goat wrangler. I just need an escape.


What better way to flee a cheating ex and dumpster fire career?


What better way to collide with the boy who got away?


And now he’s an atrociously hot, mysterious, overprotective beast.





Breathe in. Breathe out.


I’m grown up now.


Unmoved by his slayer charms and heart-stompy memories.


I can’t stay to unravel his darkness—or savor his vows to protect me.


We’re safely platonic.





Until the Ferris wheel incident.


Then we’re alone with a tension so thick you can chew it.


Quinn kisses me like no tomorrow. Truly. Madly. All in.


I wanted to piece my life back together.


Will shattering the best friend zone leave us whole or heartbroken?





Full-length romance thriller with a Happily Ever After made of laughter,
tears, and smiles. Two friends meant to be fall so hard it hurts with a little
help from a scheming granny, a tribe of goats, and one big dog.




Review

I am a huge fan of Nicole Snow and her Accidental books. When I saw a chance to read this new one, I jumped at it. I love the way her characters are complex and fun. Tory and Quinn were summer friends in the past that always were fond of each other but never moved beyond the friend zone. When Tory ends up back at her Ganny’s place (and what a hoot Ganny is!!) she ends up seeing Quinn again and wanting to be more that friends. However, she has a career in Chicago, and Quinn has a dangerous job that has followed him to their small town.  Can they make things work and finally be together? REad this wonderful book and find out. Love, Love, Love it and can’t wait to read more from Nicole.
