#Review – Twelfth Floor (Twisted Shakespeare #2) by Monica Corwin @Monica_Corwin

Twelfth Floor

This isn’t your high school Shakespeare.

Violet Cesario fled the shipwreck of her father’s company to Illyria Pharmaceuticals. As the newly appointed, and untried CFO, the board gave her thirty days to prove her worth. Thirty days to bring up the numbers. Thirty days to fend off the advances of her secretary, Olivia. Thirty days of hiding her submissiveness inside a dominant’s shell.

Thirty days gets complicated when Duke Orsino, the CEO, offers her a deal. Help him win over Olivia and he will sway the board in Violet’s favor. If she agrees to teach him the games behind dominance and submission Violet’s career will be made. As the play turns more and more true to life, the lines blur between fantasy and reality. Can Violet hide her desire for Duke long enough for him to woo Olivia? And if he succeeds can Violet endure it for the sake of her career?

Goodreads

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Holy Hotness and Chemistry is this book good.  I loved the take on this story.  The girl who loves the guy and pretends to help him get the other girl.  Violet, Duke and Olivia are a twisted trio for dang sure.  Poor Olivia has no idea what is in store for her.

Violet first sees her CEO while he is almost swallowing his newest conquest outside of the building at work.  She decides to play the strong working woman to not fall at his feet and become one of the many notches on his bed post.  Olivia is her bright eyed and beautiful secretary who seems to be a bit overly interested in serving her new boss???

Duke walks in to the office of his new CFO and is stunned that the one woman he can’t have, Olivia, is stumbling to please her new boss.  He can’t stand it and it makes him insanely jealous.  When he walks in on an intimate moment between the two woman he is driven to find out HOW, in a matter of days, Violet has gotten to Olivia.

The two strike up a deal.  Get Duke to win over Olivia and Duke will get Violet a permeant position in the company.  Sounds easy right??  OH friends it is so not easy.  Ya see, Ms. Violet is FAR from the dominant woman she pretends to be and is slowly falling more and more in love with her boss.  Duke is so confused because he is starting to lust over Olivia less and less and is more consumed with Violet!!  What is happening to him.  When he finally has his chance with Olivia, he is livid because it seems he is too consumed with Violet!!

The sexual tension is amazing in this book.  Duke and Violet are such perfect people for each other.  They both push the other to do better and be better.  The twists in the story are AMAZING!!  I like the author did a great job transforming each character and making you want them to want more from the other in the ending.

#Review #Mafia- Professional Liar by Monica Corwin @Monica_Corwin

Professional Liar

My sister Bianca and I have two rules governing the dispensation of our trust funds.

One. I get married first.
Two. She gets married second.

Neither of us will see a penny until we are both “properly cared for.” My father had a terrible sense of humor.

I turn to the only man who can help me. Even when the last time I saw him he said he hated me. Even when I love him as much as I loathe him. Even when he’s all wrong.

Liar. Thief. Killer.

Those are just a few words whispered about him in back alleys. To me he’s Pierce, to everyone else, he’s Pierson St. James, local mobster and second in charge of the infamous Wild Dogs.

He may be disreputable, but desperation calls for extreme measures. A long time ago, he promised to marry me. Now I’m going to hold him to that promise.

And we are both going to regret it.

This isn’t your high school Shakespeare…and you’ve never read The Taming of the Shrew like this.

This is a standalone romance with alpha heroes, alpha heroines, and a whole lot of foul language.

Goodreads

I purchased this book.

Ok so I was at a book convention when I saw this author’s banner.  The covers to all of her books were stunning.  I had to take a better look.  I opened her Goodreads Page and read all her blurbs.  THIS blurb stood out the most, but the others made me go HRMMMMM too.    I ran to her table and grabbed Pierce.  I happily sat down in the hotel room and devoured this book.  Pierce…shut the hell up…sexy as hell and sweet as hell too.  If Kat doesn’t realize how lucky she is I’mma have ta smack her upside her dang head!!!

Ok so Kat and Pierce have had a roller coaster of a love life for on and off the past 10 years.  They are both in mafia families, however, their families are definitely very different in protecting their own.  When Kat finds out she has to get married, she runs to the only man she has ever loved and begs him to go along with it.

Pierce has loved Kat, The Shrew, forever.  When he sees her coming to him in desperation he is angry, but once he realizes he can have the woman of his dreams forever….he jumps.

Pierce is the silent hero of this book.  He is the quiet calm Kat needs.  I was a bit stunned to learn what his family does for a living because he is most definitely an Anit-Hero but I still loved him.  Kat is so thrown by the way her family and his family are run.  She is a bit outta her comfort zone for sure with how caring they all are and how they back each other 110%.

When Pierce, Kat and her sister become the targets of a Mafia coup, Kat will do anything to keep the ones she loves safe even if it means breaking her heart in the process.

I would love love love to get more from these two even if it is a book about Bianca because she is hilarious!
