My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve been in love with series since book two, but let me tell ya, book four just HITS DIFFERENT. This book was over the top awesome, exceptionally, astounding, marvelous, sensational and sensual book that she’s had so far in the series. I’ve been waiting for this book to come out, and I was ecstatic when it was released. This author does not disappoint, and I’m already dying for book two. The chemistry between the characters was phenomenal, and I love the parallel between a specific character and the name of the book.

Victoriously Yours (Titans of Manhattan Book 4) by Anise Storm. I love this series and I have been anxiously waiting on Jonas’ story. Jonas came across as the most stuck up, conceited jerk of the whole group. Life has not been easy on Jonas and instead of becoming softer he’s even more of a jerk but when he reconnects with an old flame from high school he’s different. He’s not exactly butter but he’s a little less arrogant. Kenzie has come a long way from High school and the girl with the broken heart. Kenzie has had her share of hard knocks but she’s on a great career path and when she goes to interview for her dream job of Chef she never in a million years dreamed the one interviewing her would be Jonas. Try as they may can they stay away from each other except for a professional relationship? The chemistry is crazy between the two of them and Kenzie may be able to soften Jonas more than anyone!

Trigger Warnings: suicidal ideations, mental illness, childhood sexual abuse

WOW, I received this book and devoured it in just a few hours. I have been waiting for Jonas’s story. I am hooked on this delicious series. Anise did not disappoint in fact she went beyond my expectations in this amazing heartbreaking fourth book in the Titans of Manhattan series. Anise certainly puts her readers and characters through their paces but in this one boy she went all out.

Jonas is arrogant he is powerful and he is a playboy what he wants he gets. He works hard and plays harder, one-night stands, no strings. But in this story, we get to see a much different side of him when his past is staring him in the face.

Mackenzie wants this, no she needs this but at what cost? When she walks through that door all the painful secret’s that destroyed her, scarred her, left her devastated, lost and defeated all come rushing back.

I can’t wait for the next book.

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan Book 4)

Well she did it once again.  We get to see another Titan fall and it was so entertaining.

Let’s be honest,  of all of the Titans, Jonas came across as the most arrogant jerk of the group.  As we learn more about him I think jerk is too nice of name.  He  was not a good person in his younger years, end of story.

Flash forward ten years, he hasn’t changed a lot. If anything he is even more arrogant now.  But a chance encounter with an high school flame changes everything.

Kenzie has come a long way from the girl who was heartbroken in high school.  Full of confidence and on the verge of a successful career as a chef she is floored when she sees him again.  Thankfully her best friend and sous chef Reece is there to help her in life and in the kitchen.

I’m a amateur foodie and love watching the cooking competition shows.  All I could think of was a steamer version of Top Chef.  Not sure why that popped into my head, but once it popped in I couldn’t get it to leave.

Loved this book and everything about it.   Can’t wait for the next one.

Victoriously yours is my first Titan read ever, and hot dang. I could not put this book down. This book is like the movies she’s all that meets 50 shades of grey. I loved the spin, angst, and plot twists at every corner. This book has me on the edge of my seat so many times! This book was filled with lots of drama and hard times for both main characters. I like that we learned about their pasts and see how it’s molded them to who they became later on in life. Per my title there’s a LOT of spicy parts, and I mean a lot. However it was not overbearing or repetitive IMO. This author has a way to hook you and reel you in. Seriously a good read and glad I found this book! Going to go buy the previous Titan books right now!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

This is the first book in the Titians series. I started with the 3rd and liked it so much I read the others. This doesn’t really introduce the Titians at all and is the one I’ve liked the least. It’s a good story and I like how the author is able to tell the story without making the conflict seem annoying simple to solve. The characters were well developed and likable. I look forward to reading the last book in the series when it comes out later this summer.

This was the first Titan book that I have read. It was a pretty quick read and I enjoyed it. Jonas is a jerk and you can’t change my mind. He grew on me towards the end but he’s not my favorite. Kenzie is strong to overcome everything that has happened in her life. She found a healthy outlet for it by cooking. I was really hoping for more interactions with the rest of the friend group just to see how well they all got along.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victoriously Yours is the 4th book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm, this series is just fantastic, it doesn’t hide from the big issues and doesn’t pretend that everyone in a novel like this is perfect touching on issues such as mental health and childhood traumas. Kenzie is a flawed character, she has been hurt in the past and this has affected her view of relationships, when she goes to audition for the job of a lifetime, she doesn’t expect her potential employer to be the same boy that broke her years ago. Jonas is a successful businessman, a playboy about town, but no one realises the extent of his struggles. This was a really enjoyable read; the main characters are very likable and the story keeps you engaged. I am very much looking forward to book 5 in the series.

This is the second book I’ve read in this series. Initially I was annoyed with the main male character, he was a stereotypical arrogant ass. However, over the course of the book his character development was pretty impressive and by the end I actually liked him. Overall this story had more depth then many in this genre and I really enjoyed following the characters through their journey of self discovery. I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

This Author never disappoints, and this series only gets better. Jonas and Kenzie have become my favorite couple, and their story took me by absolute surprise. Together they have a painful and emotional history that bleeds as gainfully in their present as it did in their past.
Kenzie was a girl who suffered from the heartbreak and betrayal by the teenage boy she gave her innocence to.. Feeling mentally defeated and lost she takes the only avenue she feels she has left causing a destructive domino effect.. Jonas and Kenzie were people who were disappointed and hurt by not just each other, but the people around them. As they are reunited at this present time in their life it becomes clear they never got over each other. Trying to understand what’s between them and if there can ever be more only brings up their difficult past and the secrets that are still between them.. As truth comes to light you feel the hurt, heartbreak, love, lust and insecurity that is between them and wonder if they can ever move on.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jonas is powerful, a Titian of business and as all powerful men he works and plays hard. Seen as a playboy, one night speciality is this really the life for him. As his friend’s are starting to fall in love, can Jonas leave his playboy ways behind and find that special someone who can see under the armour and find the true, Jonas.

Mackenzie is striving to be the best chef she can be and needs to impress to get the job of a lifetime, working in one of the best kitchens in the hotel world would be the pinnacle of her career. So when she enters the room and sees a blast from her past, the old hurt and feelings come back but she is determined to play the game to win the prize, the only thing is she is playing with the master and will she get hurt again.

I must admit I was waiting for Jonas’s story since the beginning, you have this knee jerk dislike for this character as in each of the previous books he has always come across as arrogant and privileged, but this story really opens the character of Jonas and loved every minute of it. You know with this author that the story will always pact a punch and with a well-developed and written story this book does not disappoint.

I loved the character of Mackenzie, she was a strong woman, who in the past has had heartbreak and determined to not let this be her defining moment in life. The relationship between the two of them was heart-breaking with the truths come out. I love the way the author draws you into the story and you feel like you are living the book with the main characters. I can’t wait for the next book.

Yet another book in the series that will keep you turning the pages. Even though this is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. I have come to enjoy all the books so far and I have to say this one I was whole heartedly able to relate to on a certain level. While Jonas has gone on and made millions more for the company his family started, his counter part of the book is trying to get her big break in the culinary world. MacKenzie is no longer that young and naive girl Jonas hurt with his actions back in high school. When their paths cross again it is unexpected for both of them, but the desire and longing is still there. Will they reignite the flame they once had? Getting over the past isn’t so easy, but will they be able to move past all the hurt and build a future? There is one major secret that MacKenzie hid from Jonas and she intends to keep it that way. If Jonas finds out the secret will he ever be able to forgive her?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Titans of Manhattan are back! This time we are digging deeper into Jonas’s story and life in Victoriously Yours. Book 4 is not my favorite but I still love this series! The author introduces us to the world for cruelty amongst teenagers and how sometimes it can go too far.
Kenzie and Jonas went to high school together and she thought they were everything. Until she found out she was just a “bet” that he fed her the sweet nothings she needed to hear to give over to him everything he wanted. Scarred by that experience making her who she is today, Kenzie is determined to win the opportunity to run her own restaurant. Unfortunately the man who destroyed her life 10 years ago will be her biggest obstacle in succeeding with the task. She implores him into a game of cat and mouse, which just amps up his desires for her.
Jonas has lived with guilt the last 10 years he suppresses. Who would’ve thought that his guilt would be front and center vying for a job at his hotel.
The author’s depiction of the tension between these 2 characters as they dance around each other comes across beautifully. I don’t necessarily agree with everything the characters did but “Hey” that’s part of the journey.
I can only hope for more books about the Titans in the future.

This was definitely darker than the other ones in the series for me. Jonas and Kenzie have such a heartbreaking connection. The woven stories in this series are very complex at times. I did enjoy the set up for Kristopher. It is hard to not go deeper because I do not want to spoil it!

I think this book has to be my favourite in the series so far. There was just something about it that really made me connect to the story. I became lost in the characters, especially Kenzie, and the whole journey they went on.
I loved the history that was between them and how they tried to navigate it all. The story was well developed. The author knew just what was needed at all times. I was hooked right from the start of this book and I couldn’t stop reading until I had finished it. This is a brilliant story that I would highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read the rest of the books in the Parker Lake set and just like the rest, this book did not disappoint. The author does a great job of continuing the stories of each of the characters meanwhile focusing on the main couple. Karen is quiet and keeps to herself high school math teacher. Karen has one close friend and that is Breckin, on the occasion Karen will venture out to hang out with Breckins group of girlfriends. She needs to stay under the radar because no one knows her story. That is the case until Brody Cooper decides to come back home for a visit. Brody has not been home in a few years because he’s been so busy at work. Broody was not sure how long his boss would extend his visit. Only in town a few days when Broody heads over to Swansons to pick up groceries and he runs into Karen. It was not a good first impression on Broody’s part. Not realizing Brooy was Breckin’s brother Karen rambles to Breckin about the horrible interaction.
I really love this series of books. To watch Karen from book one and then finally get to learn her story is great. It was definitely a treat to watch Broody and Karen’s relationship blossom.

Jonas and Kenzie knew eachother in high school. Kenzie lived a sheltered life being the daughter of a preacher and she was the perfect target for boys and their bets. When Jonas and Kenzie started hanging out and were getting close, Kenzie thought he really liked her until the truth was out. Kenzie was more then embarrassed.
Her life took a turn at that point and the next 10 years or so didnt go exactly as she had hoped.
Now Kenzie is about to go stay at the newest CHG location for a week of competitions and meet n greets with 20 other candidates to see who will get the contract. Kenzie has no idea what CHG stands for or who the CEO is until she gets there and spots the redhead across the room. She can’t handle seeing Jonas Courtland again and wants nothing to do with him. It seems to be a game of cat and mouse with those two. Who will come out on top and what happens when the secrets are exposed. This book had me Feeling So Many different emotions throughout. There was definitely a whole lot of heat in this book. I have loved this series so far and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

This is the 4th book in the Titans of Manhatten series. This book is amazing just like the others in the series. These romance stories are so deep and in depth that you are always left wondering if the couple will or won’t get together. It keeps the story interesting and unpredictable.
The characters are really well written and this book deals with issues such as mental health and abuse in an respectful way.
In this story we follow Jonas and Mackenzie.

Jonas is a Titan. He runs a very successful hospitality owner. Ever though is life looks perfect he has a past he isnt proud of. One thing in particular is a girl who’s heart he broke and who to this day he can’t forget.
Now he is opening his new hotel he needs a chief. Imagine his shock when one of the people who are applying for the job is the 1 person he thought he would never see again.

Mackenzie has had a lot to deal with since her last run in with Jonas. After she left the school she was sent somewhere to deal with her mental health issues. Fast forward and the man who holds her dream job in his hands is the same man that broke her heart and destroyed her.
Will this encounter make the resolve their issues from the past? Will the stress of seeing Jonas again send Mackenzie spiralling down again? Or will they work together this time and both get the dreams then didn’t even realise they wanted?

Another amazing story with another amazing couple.

Once again, this author has truly captivated me with the wonderful series and the book installment full of characters I can’t hep, but love! This one I think is my newest favorite! I felt so much when reading this book and certainly could not get enough! Loved this one and this author for all that they do!

This one really spoke to me for personal reasons. We followed Jonas in this book. And his story. I got a story that I was not expecting. I felt so much for Jonas as I learned about him. As I found such strong relations for him! I really wanted to hug him! Some parts were hard to read, but that’s what made the story what it was. All the emotions that go along with it. Mackenzie was a wonderful character too. She was very intelligent, and career driven but had that compassionate heart which I loved. I loved their story and how the road to what could be…. always is not smooth riding! Loved this one with all my heart!

As I said, this one was a wonderful read, and really brought on such emotions, and I have no regret over that whatsoever. I really enjoyed it and do highly recommend this book/author/series!

~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!

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is the fourth book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of this author’s writing skills. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. I found the characters to be relatable and had no problems putting myself in their story. They brought life to the story and made it easy to read. They have great growth and I enjoyed their chemistry. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. This is a story of playing games and having a winner and a loser. Who will be the winner is for you to find out by reading this book. You wont regret picking this book up for sure. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

The Titans of Manhattan series continues with Jonas’ and Mackenzie’s story. Jonas is a playboy living the high life with no plans of slowing down. Mackenzie has her own story and is looking to make her career. Just as with the previous books, this author knows how deliver the romance and the steam. Another great addition to a brilliant series.
