The DiMarco family may just get a place on my list of favorite book families. I am so in love with all them.
I really really love a hot, sexy, possessive alpha and that is exactly what you get with Christian. As with his brother Jackson, Christian knows right away that Lucy is it for him, trouble is he thinks she is with his brother, Good news for him is that Lucy and Ben are just friends and will never be more. Unfortunately that isn’t the only thing standing it the way of these two. Lucy has a stalker who is out to make sure she doesn’t live,
You definitely get it all with this book. Some insta love, an incredible family, some suspense and action, and in the end an HEA and the promise of more with this family,
This is a new author to me and I loved the first book so much I jumped right into this one. I started it in the afternoon and stayed up late to finish it. I love the characters in this book. The Dimarco family is such a fun and loving group of people….I love the banter between the siblings and how supportive the parents are. I will say I wanted to throttle Christian and Lucy a time or two but they eventually navigated to their HEA….now on to the next one!
Lucy introduces us to the family of the Dimarcos. They are loud, in your business but love you to death. Ben and Lucy are college friends and that’s where it ends. But Ben is tired of the inquisition when he comes home and enlists Lucy in a ‘fake relationship’ favor. However, when they get home an unsuspecting insta-chemistry with twin Christian happens. There is an irresistible pull that Christian plays push away and I want to go ‘Moonstruck’ on him. Lucy gets into a situation that sends the lovebirds into a tailspin, but love wins out in the end.
Angst level was a 7 for me, maybe a bit of repetition in the storytelling. However this is a debut so wide berth given.
Lucy by Jennifer Hanks is one of those books that she’s you by surprise.
Hanks gives you characters that are heart warning, funny, witty, and sassy. However, she also applies layers to each character and her storyline that give it true depth of emotions.
I loved reading Lucy’s story, and watching her storyline unfold. Especially with the Dimarco clan. They are truly s it’s family that will keep you on your toes.
This is one book I’ll be recommending to all my friends.
5 Stars
Gah! I don’t think saying I absolutely loved this book completely expresses how much I enjoyed reading this book.
I was recommended this book because I was in the mood for something that gave me some KA (Kristen Ashley) vibes, but was a series about siblings, cousins, a group of friends, ect.
The Dimarco family is a large loving family. You have all ranges of personalities between the 7 brothers.
Lucy is Christian Dimarco’s story of finally falling for a woman that makes him work for it and keeps him on his toes to keep up with her.
I think what I really enjoyed about this book was that Lucy really is the epitome of a strong woman who is determined to right the wrongs that she believes she brought to the door of the Dimarco family. She also at the end of the book has to fight for what she really wants for her future. Christian, after he gets his head out of his rear-end proves to Lucy that he wants her, but at the end, Lucy has to fight her demons, her guilt, and her fear to prove to Christian that she is ready to move on with her life.
Lucy by Jennifer Hanks had such an odd feel for me. Lucy had just graduated with her Masters and Christian (who’s age is never mentioned but has been in and out of the military) is older than her and Ben. So this should have had a more Contemporary feel. Unfortunately, it read more NA boarding on YA to me. I had several issues with this story and yet I will probably read the next one. Infer what you will about my sanity…
Lots of running away from both parties until we finally get our HEA. Jennifer Hanks left a dangling thread at the end that I will not be able to resist. Plus the series in on Kindle Unlimited. Fingers crossed that Sydney will have a better story flow!
