Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband by Dani Collins

Dani Collins
Untouched by Her Ultra-Rich Husband
Reviewed by TashNZ | 4.5 Stars


Locking down the Hero's computer systems to help negotiate her path away from deportation and to secure her future doesn't exactly go to plan.  

A super interesting Heroine called Luli, who has phenomenal computer skills is a winning character for me.  What I loved about this story was the unique plot line, the super clever heroine and the wonderful descriptions which paint the picture of a girl in a world she knows nothing about and everything is full of culture shock and change.  It's almost like I was experiencing Luli's new world with her.

I thought the story flowed nicely and the touches of ultra richness were nicely placed through the story and the only thing we're limited by is our imagination.  There was only one thing I'd do differently if I was even half as skilled as writing as Dani, and that's maybe make Luli slightly older.

Wonderful read, wonderful story and characters and super, super wonderful cover.  


Thank you Dani Collins.

UNTOUCHED UNTIL HER ULTRA-RICH HUSBAND by author Dani Collins is a June 2019 release by Harlequin Presents series.

Gabriel Dean, a billionaire tycoon, finds out his grandmother has died. He had no contact with her. So he didn’t know how she conducted her business. But he inherited her millions. But on arriving at her mansion in Singapore, he finds out her assistant, Luli, has locked her millions with custom coded software. He finds himself intrigued and infuriated by her in equal measures.

Who was she who could break into the high-level coding he provided to clients from his software company? How could she break the highly sophisticated codes? And what did she want in return?

UNTOUCHED UNTIL HER ULTRA-RICH HUSBAND is an intriguing romance. The prickly dialogue Luli used to hide behind is fun to read and all our sympathies go to her, yet she is not a weak girl. She manages to bring Gabriel to heel. Author Dani Collins brought this story to live on the pages where a reader would sympathize with Luli and Gabriel yet root for them too. They both have to come out from their past issues and forge ahead. And a reader would stay stuck to the pages till the end trying to guess and ultimately find out how it all ends.

Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

This story really hit the spot for sensual romance in the Presents/Modern line, we have a multi-billionaire hero and a virgin heroine both with pasts that they need to work on, hero Gabriel Dean is certain he will never love and heroine Luli Cruz wants love and to be independent, will these two find what they want, will Luli convince Gabriel that love is what he needs?

Gabriel is altered to his grandmothers passing by a text message, they were never close, but he moves fast to reach Singapore ASAP, to discover that he is her heir and that the text was sent by his grandmother’s assistant a beautiful young lady, but then he discovers that she has made sure that he will not be able to get his inheritance until her needs are met. Instantly the sparks fly and the outcome is marriage.

Luli arrived in Singapore at the age of fourteen, she is now twenty two and has never been independent, she has worked hard for Mae and been cared for better than her own mother did but freedom she has never had. Now Mae has gone it is her chance to gain what she wants from Mae’s grandson but marrying into such wealth was not what she planned, but there is a pull towards Gabriel that she cannot deny for long.

This is a sensual story with fabulous banter as Luli stands up to Gabriel in so many ways proving how strong she is after what she has been through, Gabriel finds Luli open and honest and that is one of the things that makes him fall for her, and of course her beauty and sensual pull but when he realizes he is in love with her it is magical, Gabriel and Luli are a match made in heaven. I loved this one and can highly recommend it.

His Mistress with Two Secrets by Dani Collins (The Sauveterre Siblings #2)

Review by TashNz | 5 Stars


Henri is the Sauveterre hero in this book and while they can be read as stand-alones I highly recommend reading #1 to get the full experience of the feels this book delivers.

Henri and Cinnia have an wonderful long term arrangement going on, or so Henri thinks until Cinnia all but disappears in Book 1. Book 2 picks up in the BEST way, of which I wont share here to spoil the surprise but the set up for another sibling's book is brilliant! Henri finds out about the two secrets and a wonderfully intense, humorous and engaging story ensues.

I adore these two stories because I love how books link. For example in Book 1 Cinnia posts all her jewellery back to Henri, it's mentioned via other means, but in Book 2 you learn more about the jewellery being returned and what each piece meant to Henri when he gave it to Cinnia. I must say too that this part was very emotional. 

I love how Dani tries to make her stories as unique as possible so I really appreciated what happened to Cinnia medically and thought it was a great way to create tension and drama.

Well loved, well enjoyed and well looking forward to #3!



Review by Adel | 5 Stars
His Mistress with Two Secrets by Dani Collins is the second book in the Sauveterre Siblings quartet and this is Henri’s story. I absolutely adore Dani Collins writing style, it is such an effortless read and she makes me fall in love with the characters.

Since his sister’s childhood kidnapping and his father’s passing away, Henri has taken over as the protector of the Sauveterre family. Not an easy task by any means, he’s seen what can happen when he is not vigilant! When he met Cinnia he told her upfront that he will never marry her and for two years he was perfectly happy with the status quo, until Cinnia abruptly ended the relationship. When Henri discovers Cinnia is pregnant he immediately demands that she marry him. Fatherhood was not in his plans but he will do anything to protect his growing family.

This is a must read for any romance lover!


Review by Lynn | 4.5 Stars

A really nice continuation of The Sauveterre Siblings! I didn't fall quite as deep into Henri's story as I did with Angelique's in the first book, but close. I really enjoy the family dynamics of this group of siblings and especially how close their lives have made them. We saw a hint of trouble in paradise with Henri & Cinnia in the first book and now we get to know exactly what has happened and what the future holds for them. Looking forward to the upcoming books in the quartet!

Cinnia Whitley is a headstrong, independent woman who wants it known to all that she doesn't need a man to complete her, and she deals with her business and personal decisions on her own. She reluctantly agreed to a fling with Henri Saveterre even though he made it clear from the beginning that it had no future. When she finds herself pregnant ... with twins! ... she decides to remove herself from the relationship before she has to blow his world apart by adding more responsibility that he very clearly doesn't want.

Henri is not happy at all when he finds out from another source that Cinnia is pregnant, and he especially doesn't like that she played a bit of a mind game with him as she left the relationship without telling him. Considering his family history of danger to his loved ones, he insists she move in with him right away so he can make sure she and the babies are protected. This was exactly what Cinnia didn't want ... to be more of a burden ... if only he could really love her

His Mistress with Two Secrets (The Sauveterre Siblings #2) by Dani Collins is a wonderful, quick read. Henri doesn't ever want to marry or have children. His relationship with Cinna results not only in their breakup but also ends up in her being pregnant with not one but two babies.


Review by Dottie | 5 Stars

In The second book in " The Sauveterre Siblings" Ms. Collins gives us the story of Henri and Cinnia.  Henri doesn't want to get married or have children ever, especially all the security that is in place in his life because of the kidnapping of his sister years before.  He doesn't want to be constantly concerned for their safety so when after years together his live in asks if he loves her he doesn't answer.  Cinnia knows she loves Henri but will never receive love in return so she leaves him despite loving him so.  So figure that's its for them, not when Ms. Collins writes her book instead he finds out that she is pregnant and pregnant with twins.  The best laid plans that he had no longer can be so he goes to her and offers marriage.  Cinnia won't marry him or have sex with him will just move in with him for the babies protection.  What a fantastic second book and like the first I had a hard time writing a review without giving away the amazing story that needs to be read to truly appreciate the talent of the author.  I can't wait for books 3 and 4 in this incredible series.  A must read for every romance reader.


Review by Michelle | 5 Stars

Dani Collins does it again. One great book after another! This one is no exception! In this book, we meet the Sauveterre siblings (this is book 2 but I read it first). They are rich, aristocratic, and constantly stalked by the paparazzi. After Henri’s sister gets kidnapped, he makes a vow to never love or marry. He believes that this will not only protect his heart but eliminate further risk to his family. His plan seems sound until he meets Cinnia. She is fiercely independent and does not want to be taken care of by any man. This suits him as he can keep her as his mistress without changing his plans. However, she finally decides that she wants more from Henri. She asks him if he loves her and he refuses to show her any emotion or sign that he cares for her. She plays his bluff and walks away taking with her two secrets. It’s not until Henri discovers her secret that he pursues her again. Can he break his own vow and find happiness with Cinnia?

This is a fantastic book with intense passion between the characters and an entertaining storyline! I especially loved the glimpse into the future in the epilogue. I hope to see more of the Sauveterre family in future books!



Review by Helen | 5 stars

What happens you put a very independent heroine and a very protective and controlling hero together, well in a story written by the wonderful story teller MS Collins you get a story you won’t want to put down because their journey to a HEA is filled with ups and downs and is very sensual and exciting.

Henri Sauveterre is an identical twin and comes from a family of identical twins that is dogged by the paparazzi wherever they go this all from a terrible event that happened years ago and has made Henri decide that marrying and having children will never happen to him keeping a family safe is hard work, so one night stands is all he wants that is until he meets the beautiful Cinnia Whitley at a party and sparks fly between them like the fireworks they are watching.

Cinnia is a very independent Lady she has been let down by men before and this has shaped her life, she works hard at her job and does not really date once bitten twice shy but when she meets the famous Henri well let’s say that her heart will be lost to him. Their very sensual relationship has a stipulation added to it and when Cinnia asks the question of Henri things turn around but Cinnai leaves with a couple of secrets.

Truly this is a fabulous story so many emotions flying off the pages I love this family and Henri is just so protective and Cinnai so independent that their relationship is fraught with so many emotions, they are both such passionate people there will be lots of sighing throughout this story one you will want to read in one sitting and believe me you will relish reading this one. I do look forward to the other sibling’s stories. A fabulous story that should not be missed.



review by Amanda | 4.5 Stars

This is the second book in Dani Collins Sauveterre Siblings quartet. 
Like the first book, His Mistress with Two Secrets captures your interest from page one. You are instantly drawn into the world the author has created. I cannot gush enough about every detail in this impressive, absorbing read. The thing I adore about Dani Collins’ writing style is that she always adds that extra bit of flair, infusing her writing with picturesque details that sets your mind to work—bringing the story to life. Rich with detail, dialogue, family dynamics and drama…this story is bound to keep you riveted. 

I found Henri to be protective and logical—because he is the eldest—but mostly because he doesn’t want to risk his heart getting broken. Cinnia on the other hand is as smart as a whip, knows exactly what she wants and will do whatever it takes to get it. Seeing her and Henri grow from start to end had me rooting for their HEA. Though they were both ignorant at times, I still think the ending of the book justified why they should be together at long last.

Cinnia Whitley has ended her affair with Henri Sauveterre due to Henri’s commitment phobia. Cinnia wants more in her relationship than what Henri is ready to offer, however, things get complicated when Cinnia discovers she’s carrying Henri’s babies. Though the spark’s still there between them, will Cinnia finally be able to tell Henri her secret and how would Henri react? Will he jump into his new role as a father with gusto?

Highly Recommended

Review by Cheryl | 5 Stars

Since this is the second book in this series I knew right away it would be an awesome read. Dani Collins has never disappointed me in her books. She continues her series with this book about the Sauveterre Siblings. 
Cinnia Whitley has and intense fling with Henri Sauveterre and now she is pregnant with twins. The Sauveterre family is filled with twins. But Henri had decided never to have a family after his one sister was kidnapped. He feels as though he could not shelter his sister so would not be able to shelter his own children. 
Once he finds out that Cinnia is pregnant with his baby let along twins he feels he must do everything in his power to protect them and shield them from the press. 
Cinnia being a very independent person herself feels she has been hurt by men before and feels she really must think twice about this relationship. However, her babies deserve to be sheltered from the paparazzi.
Please take time to read as you will not be disappointed. 


Review by Annette | 5 Stars

In His Mistress with Two Secrets, Danni Collins continues the story of The Sauveterre Siblings. This time we are following Henri. Henri is strong will, knowing he does not want to marry and have a family due to events that occurred in the past. Cinnia is determined on not relying on anyone, especially a man. There is a lot of emotion throughout the book, at times you can feel Cinnia’s heartbreak and frustration. A great read.

Pursued by the Desert Prince

Review by TashNz | 5 Stars

If there is one book you must read in the month of release, March 2017, this is it! I would almost beg every romance lover not to pass by this beautiful and emotional story which I adore so much I feel I need to give it 6 stars.

The first in a quartet we meet Angelique, twin to Trella who is the catalyst of all the emotions each of the Sauveterre's feel. What was to only be a one night stand with Prince Kasim turns into months of nights snatched here and there when their hectic lives allowed. What made this story remarkable to me was the characters, the sense of humor brilliantly sprinkled throughout which made for awesome banter and the fabulously suspenseful family secret of Kasim.

A lot of thought has gone into the writing of the story and hints for the future installments, the complicated setup of Kasim's family and the plot of this book is all brilliant in its delivery.

I truly, truly adored this story and very much look forward to books 2-4!


Review by Adel | 5 Stars

Pursued by the Desert Prince by Dani Collins is the first book in The Sauveterre Siblings quartet and is Angelique’s story. Angelique is the quiet and shy twin compared with her identical twin sister Trella but she has been forced to step outside her comfort zone to protect her sister after Trella was kidnapped as a child. Kasim, Crown Prince of Zhahair, mistakenly thought Angelique is having an affair with his sister’s fiancé. When she clears the misunderstanding up nothing can stop him from having an affair with her himself! 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is fast paced, shows the glitz, glamour and drawbacks of celebrity living and the characters are hotter than hot. This is a great start to the series and I look forward to reading the next story. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic HEA stories.


Review by Dottie | 5 Stars

Pursued by the Desert Prince is the first of a series called "The Sauveterre Siblings" and what an amazing first book.  First you have 2 sets of Identical twins , a family dynasty that has been destroyed by a kidnapping and are forced to go to extreme measures to protect them.  I know I cannot do justice to the review as the book is that amazing but I will try.  the first book has Angelique who with her twin Trella design wedding gowns.   Add to the mix Kasim ibn Nour who doesn't believe the story of why they are gifting the gowns to his sister, instead thinks she is the mistress of his sisters fiancée.  He confronts Angelique and this is just the beginning of a story that has everything in it a romance reader would love and throw in 1000 more reasons to love it. Amazing is not giving it the credit it deserves and I am anxiously awaiting the other 3.  Ms. Collins has written one of the finest romances I have read and truly worth more than 5 stars and instead of gold its Platinum.  don't miss this one.


Review by Lynn Brooks | 5 Stars

Really enjoyed this kick-off to a new series from Dani Collins! We get the first of the four Sauveterre sibling stories with another sibling following the next month. They're easy to connect to, yet shrouded in lots of secrets and an overly protected life, so it's fun to delve below the surface and get to know them more.

Prince Kasim ibn Nour is determined to see his sister happily married to the man that she loves, so he visits designer Angelique Sauveterre to make sure she ends her liaison with his soon-to-be brother-in-law prior to the wedding!

Angelique can't believe he thinks she is someone's mistress! She sets him straight in no uncertain terms ... and by the end of being put in his place by her, Kasim is so intrigued that he wants to claim her for his very own! Family obligations on both their parts limit their freedom to live their lives as they wish, but they decide to have a short lived fling that is just for their enjoyment. When their time together is supposed to be coming to an end, will they be able to walk away?


Review by Helen | 5 stars

WOW this is an amazing powerful, emotional and sizzling story one that should not be missed by any romance reader from page one this story lights up the pages brings the characters to life and sets us up for a very moving and sensual journey to a beautiful HEA, grab a drink make yourself comfortable because you are not going to want to put this one down.

Crown Prince Kasim of Zhamair is stepping in to ensure that one of the designers of his sister’s wedding dress Angelique Sauveterre is not going to attend her wedding he is convinced that she was a mistress of his new to be brother in law, but upon their first meeting there is an electrical jolt that Kasim cannot deny she is feisty and gorgeous and should be so off limits to Kasim but needless to say he cannot resist but can he save his heart?

Angelique is an identical twin and has identical twin brothers as well they are famous in Europe for more than just their beautiful fashion designs as a family they are followed by the paparazzi and security is always there. So when The Prince drops in to meet Angelique a lot happens as with Kasim Angelique cannot deny the spark that connects them and it takes a lot for her to agree to a date but what a first date it is. Angelique surrenders to the passion and sensual pull that is Kasim.

Both Kasim and Angelique have been through a lot in their lives but being together brings the caring, loving and emotion out in them this one is so beautifully written it made me smile shed some tears and above all cheer this couple on. The first in a series which is fabulous because I want to know so much more about these siblings they are close to my heart already this is a book that I highly recommend a fabulous story.

ecret Dreams Book 2 can be read on its own or enjoyed along with book 1 which introduced our Hero L.C.

I wish when I said this story was amazing it conveyed how much I love Dani Collin's writing style. Original, thoroughly enjoyable, humorous and witty in all the right places, coupled with fantastic dialogue and characters you can really relate to and who are quite realistic and bought to life with the magic of words!

Mercedes was matched perfectly with L.C and the plot was interesting and I enjoyed it quite like I would a chick-lit because again there's the freedom for the author to develop the characters more and more time can be spent padding everything out that what one can do in a Harlequin.

Very much enjoyed!

There are some days when reading a book feels like a chore and there are some days when the story whisks you away and you are lost to reality. This book did that to me. I read it in one sitting and was so sad to let the characters go in the end. Nevertheless, Dani Collins breathed heart, humor and life into this story: Only in His Sweetest Dreams. She gave her characters wings and boy did they soar! Overall, this is a passionate rendition of heartbreak mended with love…little by little.

Review by Lynn | 5 Stars

Such a great story!! I so want more! How about another book or two? I could really enjoy seeing Mercerdes & L.C. again ... maybe in Zack's story ... and Porsha's story??? :) I adored seeing them overcome their past to actually get a life they deserved!

When Mercedes Kimball's sister decides to take a "vacation" from her kids, she's left with no option but to take them in and make her life work around them. It might end up getting her fired from her job at the retirement community that she loves, but she can't just stand by and watch while these kids are neglected!

L.C. Fogarty winds up crossing paths with Mercedes through happenstance, and the red-hot attraction they both feel instantly is not easy to ignore! He takes the job of a temporary handyman, and they become friends. He doesn't think he's worth much in life, but she seems to take some comfort from bouncing problems off of him and getting his opinion, so he's happy to help her if he can.

Mercedes might lose her ready-made family any day if her sister comes back, but L.C. enjoys sharing times with them more than he wants to deal with his own family issues. As they grow closer and secrets from his past come out, will she want to have anything more to do with him?


Review by Cheryl | 5 Stars

Mercedes Kimball loves her niece and nephew. Mercedes was told she could never have children so when she realizes that her sister Porsha took off once again and leaves the kids with their mom who could not take care of them Mercedes finds that she must go get them.
Mercedes is manager for the Coconino Vista which is a retirement apartment community. 
Mercedes had just settled the kids down when she gets a call from the complex, someone boys had broken into the one empty unit and could have done more damage. So Mercedes does the only thing she can do is to return to her job with her sister’s kids along. Poor Ayjia who is 5 does not understand why her mom is not around and the same for 6 year old Dayton. Mercedes has no other choice but to take the kids out of school and take them back to her apartment at the complex. 
The boys that broke into the complex are 3 college students. Of the 3 boys they only one that fights to not be expelled is Zack and needs to put in so many hours of help fixing the damage. 
In book 1 we were introduced to Zack’s dad, Lyle (LC) Fogarty. 
LC has not had the greatest life and really had bad luck. 
Mercedes decides to become her sister’s kid’s guardian and she seems to struggle hard to work things out with them and with her job. 
Dani Collins gave us yet another love story between two people both with their share of problems. Read it you will not be disappointed


Review by Adel | 5 Stars

Only In His Sweetest Dreams by Dani Collins is a refreshingly original story about a very flawed hero, LC Fogarty and an equally dented heroine, Mercedes Kimball. The writing style is amazing! I love the fact that the characters are flawed, have massive chips on their shoulders and yet they are both intensely caring and extremely lovable. 

We are introduced to the hero, Lyle (LC) Fogarty, in book one Not In Her Wildest Dreams but the two books are complete stories by themselves without any cliff-hangers. LC has had really bad luck in life and he escaped his home town Liebe Falls to get away from it all and to start fresh. Mercedes also had to face very difficult decisions regarding her sister’s abandoned children and how to care for them. The last thing she wanted was to get involved with a troublemaker like LC, but she just couldn’t resist him for long! Turns out there is much more to LC than anyone thought.

Dani Collins delivered a fantastic story with this one. This is a must read and I recommend it to all romance lovers. Can’t wait to read more of her stories.



Review by Alexia | 5 Stars

"Only In His Sweetest Dreams (Sweet Dreams Book 2)" by Dani Collins is a wonderful continuation from the first book in this series. We first met LC, Lyle, Fogarty in the 1st series and we know he is Zach's father. This is important to the story because in this book Zach is caught with a couple of other college students breaking into a retirement apartment community. He was kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time. We meet Mercedes Kimball who is watching over her niece and nephew because her sister took off on the kids yet again. Mercedes is in charge at the complex. There is so many interesting things that happen in this book that it is hard not to give most of it away. You don't have to read the first book "Not In Her Wildest Dreams" by Ms. Collins but I highly recommend it since we are introduced to LC and his son in the prior book. It will give you an more in depth look at their life. 


Review by Dottie | 5 Stars

Dani Collins has written another excellent story that is the second book in a series but can be read alone.  She gives us  lovely Mercedes who is a reliable hard working women.  Her strength is put to the test when she has to take care of her niece and nephew when her alcoholic sister abandons them.  She endures so much as she tries to give a good home to the children and help them overcome the fact that their mother walked out on them.  Trying to hold it together the last thing she needs is to meet LC who is an alcoholic although he is trying to fight the demons.  When he meets Mercedes he finds a reason to change and be everything that she deserves.  A wonderful story that gives you a few smiles some tears but also lovely in that two people can find common ground to help each other and find the love they both deserve.  A keeper.

I love MS Collins stories they always leave me smiling and this one is an all round fabulous story with lots of characters that add to Paige and Sterling's journey lots happening that will keep you turning those pages and of course there is another book to follow which really makes me smile.

Paige Fogarty and Sterling Roy are the two characters who bring Not in Her Wildest Dreams alive! Dani Collins has such a wonderful gift with her writing. Not being a Harlequin Presents, she can include more detail and weave a truly magical tale which has all I want to get out of a book. Unforgettable characters, fantastic plot which pulls you in immediately, exquisite scene setting and a journey of unforgettable words.

Book One of Two and I'm very much looking to the second installment.

Dani Collins writes with warmth and sincerity which shines through in the captivating storyline and compelling storytelling. The characters in: Not in Her Wildest Dreams are genuine and likable. They burst on the page and command attention. Not in Her Wildest Dreams is a story about hope, love, forgiveness and positivity. It is a story that uplifts you with each trial the characters experience and then overcome. You have nothing to lose reading this book. Instead you have everything to gain: a forever after that is sweet and satisfying!

Review by Lynn Brooks | 4.5 Stars

A drama-filled reunion story brings together two people who never got a real chance to be together because of teenage angst and misunderstandings. We see them try to overcome their bitterness with each other and slowly start to open their eyes to what really happened and to what degree the other was really at fault. A solid story with perhaps a few too many secondary characters to keep track of, but a pleasing conclusion and I look forward to reading the second in the series!

Fifteen years after being run out of her home town in humiliation, Paige Fogarty is back! Unfortunately, so is the town's golden boy who caused the bad reputation she was given. She's stuck tolerating him for however long it takes to do an audit of the books in the business their father's run together ... then she's out of here!

Sterling Roy still holds a grudge against Paige and her family as well, but as they are forced in close proximity time and again, he starts to see that things might have happened differently than he thought. Just as he's about to move forward, he realizes she's protecting an embezzler!

Will they be able to get all the secrets uncovered and find a happily-ever-after, or will past deeds be unable to be overcome?

Two teenagers, small town talk, secrets and heartaches!
Paige Fogarty and Sterling Roy knew each other all their lives. There was thing stigma associated with the Fogarty name that Paige expected she could never live down.

"Not In Her Widlest Dreams (Secret Dreams Book 1)" By Dani Collins was a wonderful read. I enjoyed Paige Fogarty and Sterling Roy's story. Paige returns to Liebe Falls to help her father after he had a heart attack. She took on the responsibility of his part in a local furniture company and as an accountant takes a look at the books to make sure that everything is in order for her family to sell the company back to the Roy family. Sterling is home because his family wants him to take over the family business, and to make sure the 'rotten' Fogarty family doesn't take advantage of the company. Paige returns to a tattered reputation which is unwarranted, and to the feelings she had for her one time boyfriend Sterling. Things have a way of coming out and some things are not what they seem. Interested? You need to read this book!


Review by Adel | 5 Stars

Not In Her Wildest Dreams by Dani Collins is a beautifully written story starring Paige Fogarty and Sterling Roy. The two come from polar opposite backgrounds, Paige having the bad luck of being born a Fogarty and Sterling being the Golden Boy of Liebe Falls. Now, 15 years after a misunderstanding drives them apart, Paige and Sterling must set aside their differences and work together to save their fathers’ company Roy Furnishings. 

This is a real page turner, there is intrigue, romance, action and drama…basically everything that transforms a book from good to amazing. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series, Only In His Sweetest Dreams. I highly recommend this book to any romance lover.

What happens when after 15 years you reunite one time couple Paige Fogarty from Liebe Falls with Golden boy Sterling Roy?  You get a fantastic story by Dani Collins.  So many things were misunderstood in the past and some are still hanging around destroying the present.  Trying to use her profession as an accountant she is auditing Roy Furnishing as their is someone playing with the books.  Sterling wants no repeat of the past when their relationship leaving her with a bad reputation.  Will the future shine different for these two now put together again.  Not if family has anything to do with it but Ms. Collins always delivers a wonderful story and she gives Paige and Sterling their HEA

BOUGHT BY HER ITALIAN BOSS by author Dani Collins is a July 2016 release by Harlequin Presents series.

Only her boss, Vittorio Donatelli had a suspicion that Gwyn Ellis may have been framed when she was defamed by her compromising photos posted online as being sent to a married client. And Vittorio would do anything to safeguard his family bank and its reputation. So he hit back by releasing information that Gwyn was his lover.


Gwyn felt all her hard work slipping from under her feet so she went along with his plans, though fighting him and the attraction she felt for him every step of the way. 

Read BOUGHT BY HER ITALIAN BOSS to see what happens when truth triumphs and Gwyn is found innocent. Would Vito and her love affair be over now that justice has been done? I had serious doubts how Gwyn and Vito would ultimately reach their happy ever after as Vito had huge secrets he was keeping from her. Then when Vito tells her to leave, I knew it was all over, yet how they ultimately come back together is a pleasure to read and savor.

Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

Bought by Her Italian Boss by Dani Collins is the reason why I love Harlequin Presents. Sexy, angsty, scandalous and full out entertaining, this is surely the book to be in your hot little hands! Ms. Collins writes with such detail that her characters come to life on the page. You feel the raw emotions through engaging dialogue and detailed back story. The descriptions were vivid and this novel, on an overall basis kept me hooked from beginning to end. Vittorio Donatelli and Gywn Ellis are perfectly imperfect characters you grow to love. Their romance is oh so steamy too! Gywn works for Donatelli International Bank, a company that has been in Vittorio’s family for many years. It is Vittorio’s family heritage. So, the last thing he needs is having compromising photos of Gywn, his employee, plastered on the internet. This could ruin the bank’s reputation. He is prepared to do whatever it takes to clear the air in order to protect his business’s public image. So he makes Gywn his mistress. What he hadn’t bargained on though were the sparks that ignited flames of desire between him and Gywn. But can he create a life with Gywn when his fears are ever constant at the back of his mind?

Highly Recommended

Another dramatic story from the pen of Dani Collins which ticks all the boxes, again.

Great opening, tick. Interesting characters, tick. Great plot, tick. Page turner, tick. Don't want to put down, tick. Sad to finish but happy at the conclusion, tick tick tick.

Accused of fraud, having an affair with a married man and having intimate pics posted on line, Gwyn's day is starting out pretty bad. She's whisked away by Vito while the company figure out what on earth is going on. So Gwyn has to drop everything, as well as plead her innocence and help restore her reputation all the while realising that working closely with Vito is doing her head in, for all the wrong reasons.

A true Harelequin Presents world which Dani is so talented at creating. I love getting lost in her amazing stories that are so so far removed from my world. I love the drama and the tension she makes me feel along with the beautiful locations we're in. I love the plots and the openings which have you on the edge of your seat while you ride it out.

Thank you for another amazing story Dani.

Scorch by Dani Collins is a steamy, passionate story with a cast of imperfect characters who command your attention from the start. Fast-paced and enjoyable, Scorch, second novella in the Firefighters of Montana series, is a must read. Jacqui Edwards carried around a lot of emotional baggage ever since she lost her husband. She has returned to Glacier Creek to sell her home before heading back to Florida and move on with her life. What she hasn’t bargained on is meeting Vin Kingston, her husband’s best friend. Vin has never gotten over the guilt of losing his best friend. But seeing Jacqui, the urge to protect her takes up residence in his head…but below the friendliness between them burns a passion too hard to resist!

Loved this book from the start, I loved the characters Jacqui and Vin because they were two people deserving of love a second time around. I loved the setting of the story and reading about the job Vin did for a living - coming from NZ, I didn't know there was such a thing. I loved the interaction between Jacqui and Vin and I loved how he held back when all he really wanted was Jac. I loved how the author made it completely legit that Jacqui wanted to live life and love again. I loved how I did not want to put this book down at all.

This is my first intro into the Firefighters of Montana and I enjoyed this so much I will be picking up the others to read. Fast paced but emotional and edge of the seat reading. I loved how Jacqui had cut all her hair off and I loved seeing into the thoughts of both characters and totally understanding where they come from and why they think the way they do.

The author has written with a freshness, a punchyness and in such a way that i laughed and cried right along with them, like I was there. Scorch had me hook line and sinker.

Loved this book to pieces!

Jacqui spent years as the receptionist for the Glacier Creek smokejumpers. She left Glacier Creek when her husband who was the captain of the group of smokejumpers died during a jump six months earlier. She went to live with her family for a while and clear her head. She comes back to settle up with things including her house that Russ and her had lived in. Another jumper Vin Kingston was now living in it and remodeling it and was also planning to purchase it when she was ready to sell. 
Vin grew up in foster care and he has married Tori who just could not be happy with him and they divorced. She was tries to sell what was Vin and Tori’s house and at first did not succeed and the 2nd time was the charm. 


Vin took it upon himself to keep a watch over Jacqui and not in any romantic way as he for sure felt he could never go for his friend’s widow. Again fate took over and they finally said the magic I Love You. 
Jacqui asked Sam Gaskill, who was now the captain for her job back. She liked order and had really loved her job. 


There are 2 more books after this one and can’t wait to read them too. I learned quite a bit about smokejumpers and what they go through.

"Scorch" by Dani Collins is book 2 in her 'Firefighters of Montana' series. It can be a read alone or be read as part of the series. The author takes us into the story about smokejumpers in Glacier Creek. Jacqui Edwards is returning home after losing her husband (he was a smokejumper) in order to put her affairs in order and be close to family. She is thrown when Vincent Kingston, Vin, becomes more than her her husbands best friend. After being friends for years they seem to have found a new appreciation for their relationship.


Review by Dottie - 5 Stars
The second book in series in Glacier creek about smokejumpers. In this book we meet Vin Kingston who after a failed marriage still stays in Glacier creek because of the love of his job and security it brings. He witness's his boss's death and so comes to the aid of his boss's wife Jacqui and he moves into her house to help her. She has a difficult time and decides the best thing to do is pick up and move so she goes to florida leaving Vin in her house. Realizing that the distance doesn't help she returns and so does the sizzle that was there for a while but denied by both. Vin feels guilty about having feeling for his late boss's wife, but Jac feels its time to accept what they feel for each other and see where it leads. A very lovely story about two hurting people, but the amazing chemistry between them has you immersed in an incredible love story of second chances. Love finds a way through the heartache and she finds there is love again right in front of them. Ms. Collins always writes fantastic stories and this is another example of her wonderful talent to heat up the pages of a book.
