My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had to put this book down a few times. It made my stomach hurt, my eyes tear up and heartbreak. It hit home with almost every turn of the page. I have been pregnant nine times and have 4 living children myself. While I didn’t become an addict I still struggle daily with the loss of my babies. Anton and Elsa’s story is incredible from the time it starts until the end of this particular book. They are strong and the love they have for one another is stronger. Anton is Elsa’s rock and vice versa. This book hits on infertility, surrogacy, addiction and trials and errors and bad decisions we as humans make. We are all imperfectly perfect. We are all only human. Love conquered in this book is an example of how the world could be a better place.

This book is less of a romance and more of a coming into yourself book. There is a romance aspect of it but most of its about the battle of your inner self. Anton and Elsa are both in love with each other but each have their vices, one acting and after a sad turn of events the other turns to drugs. Will they be able to save themselves before they ruin their love for each other? Great writing like always has an awesome storyline.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Be warned there are some triggering topics such as addiction, loss, depression, miscarriage, infertility, along with drug & alcohol dependency. These topics are well written and handled with care in this book, however I felt a warning needed to be said in case someone has triggers to these things.

This is the second book in the author’s Titans of Manhattan series, and it is a unique spin on a romance book. The spin is that the love story between Anton and Elsa has already begun before the book opens. Anton is a Hollywood actor in love with Elsa who is a realtor in New York City. We get to read and experience all the ups and downs of the first year of marriage. Like in real life this couple had to face many tragedies and problems within their fictional life. These characters are so well written that they seem real enough to pop off the page and join you in real life, which is a great tribute to the author’s writing.

I love that this book showed that no matter what this couple faced they stuck beside each other trying to adapt and learn how to cope, trust, and depend on one another. This is something more people in real life need to learn and live by.

This is the second book in the series and in my opinion could be read as a stand alone.
In this book we follow the story of Anton ad Elsa, this was a great page turner but was truly heart brreaking which really triggered me.
Please note there are trigger warnings for miscarriage, infertility and depression.

Imperfectly Yours by Anise Storm is the second book in the Titans of Manhattan series. While both MC’s are introduced in the first book in the series Conveniently Yours, you do not need to read it in order to read this one. I was as addicted to this one as the first in the series.

After a devastating loss but Elsa and Anise struggle with how to move forward and what exactly their happily ever after is going to look like. This book does discuss substance abuse, infertility, and loss.

This story touches on the devastating trigger points of miscarriage and infertility.
Like the previous member of the Titans (Caspian) Anton is foot loose and fancy free, money is no object and fame has brought him notoriety. His money cannot but happiness without heartache.
He meets his match in Elsa Fitzgerald who is a career orientated strong woman.
We follow their relationship and observe it grow, love is amazing, everyone is happy. Until they are not: Pregnancy is never easy especially when your husband is married to his career. Things are thrown off of kilter when Elsa loses her baby then fights after to find like many do that it is an infertility issue, stress and emotions run high in this book. Relationship stress and the emotional rollercoaster take you on the ups and downs that many of us face.
An emotional read that may not suit everyone but rest assured they get their Happy Ever After.

Again the cover-art is just amazing ♥️ I’m even more excited to dive into this book than the previous one ! #truestory#

Anton is the golden boy , he has all his desires , fame , fortune , wealth , career and he’s at the top of his game both in career and life , he really does seem to have it all 🤷‍♀️

Elsa , comes from a wealthy family , blue blood if you like and it seems she’s won the heart of one our very delectable Titan men …

All is not as it seems and every fairytale has a villian or a dark side and our folks are no exception to the rule . Sometimes life has to bring us to our knees , to humble us to make us realise what we have , wake up and smell the roses grab life and love , live and love it , every day is a gift and should be treated as such .

This was a hard read for me and there were a few triggers that one should be aware of . It was a real and real read and I almost don’t want to share their story and all they’ve been through . I cried hard but loved even harder ❣️

Ms. Anise Storm is back again with the second book to the Titans of Manhattan Series. She has quickly become one of my favorited authors. She had me curled up in my bed with my bed reading this. I had to be far enough away from everyone to read this amazing book.
Anton Kingston was one of Hollywood’s biggest heartthrobs, he has everything he ever imagined. A career, fame, fortune; he is sought after worldwide, and at the height of his stardom. His personal life has also aligned, and he finally has the things he’s wanted for a lifetime.
Elsa Fitzgerald was raised in New York City’s high society, she has landed herself one of the Titans, and things couldn’t be better. Elsa is one of the most successful real estate agents in the entire city, and has the devotion of one of Hollywood’s leading men. All that’s missing is the two things she desires above all else.
Their love story is one for the ages, or so she thought. Just when it seems as if everything she’s ever wanted is within reach, tragedy strikes and threatens to tear it all away. As their fairytale starts to unravel, choices have to be made. There are consequences when chasing perfection. Will they be able to live imperfectly ever after? Or will their choices destroy those dreams forever?
I’m excited to see how she continues this series with the next book.

This is the second book in the Titian series and concept of the Titians is better fleshed out than in book one. Unlike the other books this one begins with the main characters, introduced in book 1, already as a couple. The author does a great job at drawing you into the story. It isn’t usual that I would cry reading a book from, what I would consider, steamy romance genre but the author makes it into so much more than that. She knows how to break your heart before slowly mending it back together.

Wow! What a raw, emotional read from Anise Storm! It is my favorite of the series so far!

I liked this book for so many reasons, but it was a bit different in that Anton and Elsa were already together and had their fairytale romance in the beginning, before life threw them a curveball and that fairytale started unraveling.

Elsa was Anton’s real estate agent trying to find him a penthouse, and it was pretty much love at first sight. Elsa couldn’t believe that one of Hollywood’s sexiest actors was in love with her, but she threw caution to the wind and reached for her happily ever after. All she wanted now was to give him children. Then, life would be perfect. But, everyone knows that life is never perfect, and these two are getting ready to discover that in a most painful way.

Neither one of them was perfect, even though Elsa was raised to believe she could create the perfect life by being the perfect wife. Think about it, her husband is in an industry that creates that illusion. When that dream of hers is crushed, she falls hard and makes some choices that threaten the very soul of her marriage.

Storm ripped my heart out at times. Elsa’s pain was palpable. I could feel it deep in my bones. At times, I was angry at Anton for using his job to run away from their problems, but people deal with tragedy in all different sorts of ways. As Storm tore my heart to pieces, she tenderly put it back together again. Wonderful, emotional story!!!

I was excited to see more of Elsa and Anton. We first see them in the Conveniently Yours. I have to say I was extremely interested in seeing a book about the main characters as already together. This story spoke to me about the themes. I rooted for them through it all. Love conquers all. But will it be for them?

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A whirlwind romance develops between real estate agent Elsa and movie star Anton in the second book of this series. While I didn’t find it as exciting to read as the first book, it was still a good story overall. There was some repetitiveness of the book’s title that got a bit obnoxious for me, and it seemed to contain a lot more intimate scenes than its predecessor, which I found to be a bit excessive at times, but I’m not sure it’s right to complain about such things in a romance novel.

The storyline was unexpected and interesting, though. Every time I thought it was going to head in one direction, I got thrown for a bit of a loop. Grueling work schedules, and physical distance while Anton films the latest blockbuster in the making, threaten to divide the couple; they also face some issues with communication and their past that they must overcome if they intend to stay married after a super rocky first year of marriage. Complications in their relationship only multiply when Anton takes the leading role in romantic comedy at a dark time for Elsa, and the pair faces problems that are both serious and not atypical for real-life couples.

While the themes felt realistic overall, especially the darker parts of the story, it’s still a romance novel with lots of flourishing steaminess.

Imperfectly Yours (Titans of Manhattan Book 2) by Anise Storm

Imperfectly Yours is the second book in the Titans of Manhattan series and once I finished the first, I knew I had to read this one. This is a book about the struggles with love, loss, drugs, and alcohol. At some point in our lives, we all struggle with weakness and let me tell you, this book definitely shows you that. The factor of being perfect often weighs on us and I just love how the Author portrayed this within her characters. The personalities of Anton and Elsa are beautifully written and easy to follow. I’m not one to be emotional but this book brough out a lot of emotions. The way each chapter flows flawlessly makes it so hard to put it down. Many people get turned off by triggers but this book shows them for what they are, it allows you to sympathize with the character. Anton and Elsa’s love is heartwarming and leaves you wanting more. One Hollywood’s top real-estate agents who just so happens to be in love with Hollywood’s top heart throb. They both want to be successful with a loving family but after a heart wrenching loss, can they have everything? Guess you’ll just have to read it for yourself and find out.

This was a great read! It’s the second book in the Titans of Manhattan series. Elsa is a successful Realtor, and Anton is a Hollywood actor. They have a wonderful story filled with romance until a series of events puts their relationship to the test. A story that has a rollercoaster of emotions taking you with them, their story is tragic and full of ups and downs and struggles, making it really relatable.

An emotional roller coaster but worth every minute. Had me in tears at parts. Elsa does not know how to deal with the loss she has just encountered and turns to drink and drugs and she pushes jer boyfriend Anton away when he loves her more than anything, but can long distance really work for that long he is hollywoods latest heartthrob and everyone wants a piece of him. Can they come back together and have their happily ever after they both long for.

Trigger warnings! Miscarriage, infertility, drug, and alcohol abuse! I did not expect so many of the things in this book that happened. There are a lot of twists and turns in Elsa and Anton’s love story. The main thing for me is that love conquers all. When two people truly love each other they can weather any storm.

This is the second book in the Titans of Manhattan series, and this book made this author a one click author for me. Anton and Elsa’s story has all the feels. I loved the first book in this series, but this book is even better. This power couple have a fairytale beginning, but cracks emerge that they may not be able to overcome. This amazing story had me reading long into the night, I just couldn’t put it down. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the book in this series.

Anton and Elsa thought they had a perfect relationship. Anton is an actor and a Manhattan Titan, Elsa is an up and coming real estate agent best in her company. They have been dating for a few years, he finally proposes and they get married at J.C.’s resort in the Caribbean, what more could they want. Anton spends alot of time away filming movies but they have never really had issues with the long distance until Elsa finds out she is pregnant. That is when things begin to go downhill. Things changed when Elsa becomes so stressed that she passes out at a showing and wakes up in the hospital. Only her worst fears could happen after waking up. What all could happen in the life of a Manhattan Titan.

This was an emotional journey I was not prepared for.

Elsa Fitzgerald is one of the most successful real estate agents in New York is dating Anton Kingston but something is missing from this happily ever after.

I don’t want to give too much away but this was an amazing story. I went into this thinking it was going to be another rich guy who falls in love and does whatever he can to keep her from slipping away because of his past but it is not. It is so much more.

I noticed that there are other novels in this series. They look to be standalones but I am excited to see the other couples and what they go through.

I read the first book in this series and loved it. I’m glad to say the second book lived up to the hype created by the first one! The characters and their situation are very authentic and relatable. It’s easy to care about what happens to them and get sucked into the story. I liked how the author started the story with an established relationship. It made it easier to get to the deeper part of the story faster.

Anton is the heartthrob movie star and Elsa is best real estate agent around. They have so many ups and downs that it instantly gets you sucked into the story, because you just have to know what/ how they will react next.
This couple has what it takes to make it through anything. Anton proves he is a strong man and will be by Elsa’s side. Elsa learns that even with all the pain she endured and with what she put Anton through, he is the man for her.
Their love is real and makes you keep flipping page after page. I cannot wait until book three.

I love this series. I love this author. And I sure love these characters!! Anton and Elsa (cute names y’all) are great characters that really feel fleshed out (in my opinion the multiple POVS do that for me)! I love that it’s such a romantic (another reviewer said fairytale like and i completely agree) story with some serious topics. I think Elsa is just so relatable and her personal storyline felt so heartfelt. You WILL feel some emotions in this one! I am enjoying this series so much and can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us.

Anton Kingston could not get out of California fast enough to have in search of everything he never had growing up. Raising to fame and becoming Hollywood’s hottest leading man in countless box office hits.
Elsa Fitzgerald is New York Cities elite royalty. Growing up she was raised to act the part of a proper lady, to never show weakness, and to never let a man see you cry. She is the number one real estate agent in NYC, the penthouse of her dreams, the social like any woman her age would love to have. But when Hollywood walks into NYC who knew that there would be fireworks.
Elsa and Anton’s relationship is perfect but can there really be a perfect relationship? Anyone who reads this book will fall in love with their love story. The first year of marriage will test even the most perfect of relationships. Will Elsa and Anton be able to survive this bump in the road or will their north star lead them back into each other’s arms?
When I started reading this book I fell in love with not only the characters but also their relationship with each other. There were many tears throughout because I could feel the pain Elsa was going through. This is most definitely a must-read. Keep in mind there are triggers such as miscarriage, depression, infertility, drug, and alcohol dependency.

This book is book two of the series and can be read as a standalone but the books are so good you’d only be missing out.

Elsa and Anton seemingly have it all but yet can’t wait to fill the missing piece in their lives. More than anything, Elsa has wanted to get married and have kids. What they expected to be easier ends up being difficult and a little tragic. Will their marriage sustain this blow or will everything be destroyed.

The author did a great job with these characters. Outside of their elite status, they were relatable as was their marriage. They had real struggles that many couples face and overall they were very well written. This story was emotional but you can’t help but get sucked in.

Imperfectly Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #2) by Anise Storm

This is another amazing read by the author. The first book of the Titans of Manhattan was good, but Imperfectly Yours is better. It is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend checking out the first book.

Elsa is loving the life she has right now. She’s got a great man, not one that she expected. Things become hard and she isn’t sure that they’ll survive it. The quote I chose for Elsa is: “You’re home. I thought you needed to stay in Shanghai until the end of the month. What’s wrong?”

Anton loves being famous, but he loves being home even more. He loves Elsa and would do anything for her. Things are getting hard and he doesn’t know which way to go. The quote I chose for Anton is: “That saying about there being no place like home is right. F**k, I missed my wife and even you three.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This story follows Elsa and Anton as they go through some of the most difficult times of their life and how they navigate it. Decisions and mistakes are made that lead to heartbreak after they seem to lose everything will they find their way back to each other?

This story is heavy. It will keep you engaged and hoping for a happy ending. There are so many things that Elsa and Anton go through that are relatable and utterly heartbreaking. There are triggers before you read this book and it could be a hard read if you have gone to some of the similar things that Elsa goes through. It was emotionally charged and excellently written.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to read a book about overcoming some of the darkest times in your life and how even though all feels lost there will always be another day and it can get better.

I came into this reading book two I feel like I wasn’t missing anything. It was a nice stand alone book. It hits on the hard topics like miscarriage, drug and alcohol abuse. The book was well written and the story progressed really well. This is the first time I’ve read where the couple was already married and not them just getting together and end up married. Watching the main characters self progression through the trails made me feel for them and like I was right there going through it with them. It was a book I really enjoyed and it pulled on my heart strings. There were a few moments where I found myself crying. Well done author. this was beautiful story.

This isn’t my first read by this author and it won’t be my last. This second Titans novel really caught my attention for several reasons, like the REAL life lows that aren’t often written about. It really was heartbreaking to experience the loss, tragedy, and spiral along with Elsa, but it was beautifully written. There were a few times when I wanted to strangle Anton for being so self-centered and seemingly cold towards Elsa, but he was essentially the product of his past experiences, so it’s hard to hold it against him. Otherwise, his character was quite swoon-worthy. If you are prepared for reading through some tough times, I’d strongly suggest this book to anyone. Great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the author’s Titans of Manhattan series, and is a love story between Anton and Elsa. Anton is a Hollywood actor in love with Elsa who is a realtor in New York City. The book takes us through the first year of their marriage and all the difficulties that they endure. Be warned there could be some triggering topics within the story such as addiction, loss, and depression. Tragedy continues to strike the couple and between that and Anton always being away, strain is left on the marriage. Elsa ends up not dealing with the life struggles she has and turns to drugs instead of her husband. However, Anton sticks by his wife whose life became very difficult to live and never gave up on her; he knew all about that difficult life, too, his childhood was full of tragedy. They always said the first year of marriage was the toughest, this couple shows us just that, but also shows how when love is present, there are ways through the pain.

One of the things I love to find in any book I read is the life lessons that can be learned. Through all of the struggles, this couple shows us so many of these life lessons. I loved that the author made Elsa feel real, when I read what she was going through, I could imagine exactly how that feels. However, Elsa consistently made me upset because of the assumptions she projected about her husband. She was always so quick to push him away and assume the worst, instead of taking a moment to listen. Anton showed us that men have feelings, care, and are more than what assumptions have produced. He also showed us that when you love so deeply, you will find a way to support, stick by their side, and find a way to get through it because the love and the people involved are worth it.
