The Return of the Di Sione Wife by Caitlin Crews - The Billionaire's Legacy #4

The Return of the Di Sione Wife by Caitlin Crews
Reviewed by Helen

I am really enjoying this series and this one had a lot of angst and hurt that had to be overcome before they could finally have the HEA that was deserved there was a lot of mistrust between Dario and Anais and the journey was a tough one that will bring out a lot of emotions.

Dario Di Sione has been asked by his grandfather to find and return to him another of the lost mistresses this time a pair of earrings but Dario has an anger burning inside of him he is separated from his wife (not divorced) he throws everything into his business and pretty much keeps to himself even staying away from his identical twin since the break up of his marriage. But when he travels to Hawaii to collect the earrings he is stunned to find that he is to collect them from none other than the wife he walked out on and she has a secret that he needs to know about.

Anais has felt cheated for six years wronged badly but although she had done what she could to let Dario know about his child he had blocked her totally but the instant that they meet again that spark is still there but Anais is a lot stronger now a lawyer and determined to make things right for her son.

This one practically has sparks flying of the pages as you turn them there were times I could have hit Dario, but Dario has a lot to learn. I thoroughly enjoyed their sensual journey I loved the way that Anais stood up to Dario and stood her ground where their son Damien was concerned. I do highly recommend this one I am loving the Di Sione family and their commitment to their grandfather and the loves in their lives.

4/5 stars for a great story

A heart-stoppingly emotional story where you're grabbed tightly and twisted and turned inside-out by the figurative emotional roller coaster in this story.  And just when you feel your eye's pricking with tears or your heart stops and bottoms out because you can FEEL what you're reading, wait... there's more!

Dario is the Di Sione sent on a mission and this time it's for earrings.  The pick up goes surprisingly well compared to some of the other installments but it is the pickup that is the catalyst for the incredible ride I was taken on where I (pardon the cliche) could.not.put.down the book, regardless of the time it was!  I was truely wrapped up in Dante and Anais's reunion.  As the title suggests the two parties are married but it's Anais's news that stuns Dario and infuriates him even more than he felt when he discovered his twin Dante and Anais walk out of his bedroom 6 years earlier.  He walked out and never looked back!

I give this story 5 stars because not only did it captivate me from the very start to the very very last page, but also because of the unique circumstances Anais and Dario take and make.  I don't want to explain because it'd be a spoiler but I liked what Dario did, I'm not sure I've read such a plot twist before and as a reader I was sitting there going Woah, what is he DOING? And then with Anais's response, boy was I in tears of laughter and sometimes actually found myself questioning how could she be doing this?  And I loved the way it was explained why Anais was ok with doing what she did.  I loved the little twist of how Damien knew who his Dad was; just all of this mixed with how it made me feel - I feel no doubt that I can award this wonderful, wonderful story 5 stars.

This will be re-read and is an incredible addition to the Di Sione's stories and I have to say, I'm looking forward to reading Dante's story.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for the opportunity to read and give my honest opinion.


The Cowgirl's Forever Family by Helen Lacey

Reviewed by Nas Dean

THE COWGIRL’S FOREVER FAMILY by author Helen Lacey is a September 2016 release by Harlequin Special Edition series. This is Book 3 of Helen Lacey’s mini-series: The Cedar River Cowboys.

Brooke Laughton can’t have babies and her fiancĂ©e of three years walked out on her when he found he was a dad from a previous relationship.

Then Tyler Madden landed on her doorstep one night literally with a baby in his hands. Could she hope for a miracle with him and this baby? Could she build her family from these tattered shreds? But Tyler was a commitment phobic corporate lawyer from the big city. And the baby was someone else’s. He was looking for the baby’s dad.


THE COWGIRL’S FOREVER FAMILY is a stunning romance with mesmerizing emotions. I laughed at Brooke’s dialogues and cried with her. It was hard to leave this story and come out of it. Author Helen Lacey took her readers high on emotions with this story. As a reader I stayed glued to the pages till the last page.


Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

MS Lacey writes stories that are emotional moving and so very magical they are tales of love and happiness and there is a rocky road for our heroes and heroines to follow till they get their HEA and they leave you with a smile.

We are back in Cedar River again and this time Brooke Laughton is going to meet the man who will inevitably sweep her off her feet but first she has to open up to top New York Lawyer Tyler Madden who has shown up on her doorstep with the thing that Brooke craves more than anything a baby a beautiful baby girl Cara who turns out to be her niece, but of course Brooke's brother is missing and Tyler is determined because of a promise he made to Cara's dying mother to ensure that little Cara will be returned to her father. Tyler has worked hard and really has no plans to marry but there is a spark that starts when Brooke and him first meet and it will grow.

This is a story that had me in tears and turning the pages Cara is one beautiful determined little girl even at her young age and with her smiles and the electrical spark that gets stronger everyday between Brooke and Tyler is it no wonder that they fall into each others arms which starts a sensual and moving road to a very family orientated HEA. Yes I highly recommend this one you will not be sorry you will be delighted, thank you MS Lacey for another keeper.


5/5 stars for a fabulous story

Review by Amanda



Helen Lacey always writes the most heartwarming, sensual and deeply touching small-town romances I have grown to savor. The Cowgirl’s Forever Family is yet another beautifully written, fast-paced, character driven story that will keep you riveted from beginning to end.

Having a family of her own is something Brooke Laughton will never have until one day Tyler Madden shows up at her doorstop with a baby girl in tow. Could this be her forever family? As it turns out the child is Brooke’s niece—the daughter of her missing brother. During the wait for her brother’s return sparks fly between the hunky lawyer and the cowgirl and it isn’t before long that thoughts of forever together create something incredibly beautiful between Tyler, Brooke and little Caro!

Highly Recommended
