Victoriously Yours (Titans of Manhattan Book 4) by Anise Storm – Review by Christie Mitchum

Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

~4.5 STARS~

As always, Anise Storm has done it again! I always say she can’t outdo herself, but she always proves me wrong!

Let me begin by saying, I was NOT A FAN of Jonas Courtland at the BEGINNING of the book. Saying I disliked him is a very mild understatement. He took a dare not even thinking or caring how it would affect the girl, Mackenzie, who had fallen in love with him in high school. He completely broke her. I wanted to throw him off the roof myself.

Fast forward a decade later…Jonas is a hotel developer and still a playboy, but now he lets women know up front that they shouldn’t expect anything from him. He has no desire to settle down. Mackenzie has worked hard to get herself in a healthy place, and now she has an opportunity of a lifetime, scoring a job as a chef in one of Jonas’s hotels. She just doesn’t know it’s one of his, but when they both see each other again, the fireworks begin!!!

Mackenzie is determined to win the coveted position and maybe even give Jonas a little bit of payback, but in love and war, things never go as planned. Just as these two find redemption, a secret is revealed that will not only derail Mackenzie’s dreams of becoming a famous chef, but she and Jonas may lose what they worked so hard to rebuild.

As I read more of the book, my feelings for Jonas began to thaw, much like Mackenzie’s did. For me, that is the mark of a talented writer, when he or she can make their readers feel what their characters do. My heart broke for Mackenzie, and Storm addressed the issue of mental illness with such love and sensitivity. Looking forward to the next installment in this emotional series!
