Hot Hot Hot!!!
Art of War Parts of this book are hilarious! Zander Stern is the enforcer of the Family. He is tasked to find a ‘man’ named Murphy. He encounters a beautiful redhead. This woman like none other captures his attention. Women have fallen all over him all his life, but not Red. Zander and Red are forced by circumstances to take their relationship to another level. Red makes Zander’s life a living hell. He finally puts his foot down! More is working behind the scenes than either are aware. Will they have a future?
How could you not love Zander Stern?
He’s the entire package and has such a demanding presence about him.
I loved Zander from book 1 and I knew it would take a special woman to hold his attention.
I couldn’t wait to see him fall, Zander has always pushed his brother’s buttons over their women especially Gabriel. The way he would flirt with Fallon just to get under his skin made me chuckle everytime.
Murphy captured Zanders eye straight away, with curves for days the fiery Redhead had him panting like a puppy. The Enforcer for the Family just met his match.
I really liked Murphy she’s a strong woman that doesn’t do emotions very well. She wont let Zander into her heart.
I will admit I wanted to strangle her at times, it was obvious how much this man adored her but she was to stubborn to see it.
That saying ‘The bigger they are, the harder they fall’ sums up Zander perfectly.
Love this book, the series is going from strength to strength for me and I’m so excited to read Vin next. He already owns my heart and I think he always will from this series.
I was so excited to finally read Zanders story. And man what a story it was.
Zander is the fun-loving one in the family. From the very first book, he said that he would be honored if Catherine would find him a wife. But we all knew that it wasn’t something that he was waiting on. He went about his life working and womanizing like always. But when he is tasked to find a Murphy Jr he is stumped. Everywhere he looks he can’t find him. But he does find a beautiful redhead that he can’t get out of his head.
Murphy ends up being a chick. Murphy is a no-nonsense woman that doesn’t take crap from anyone and that includes Zander and the Stern family. She ends up pissing a lot of people off when she takes over her dads casino, and even when Catherine gives her an out, marry Zander and keep some control of her casino. What will Murphy do?
I loved this book. Murphy kicked butt and Zander falls in love. Catherine finally has to come to some terms with her past. And we learn some more about what she will do to protect her family. And we all know she will do anything for that. The ending is explosive. I can’t wait to see what is next.
One hell of a rollercoaster !!
This book is full of emotion, life and hotness. Monique Orgeron never disappoints for me she is a rockstar. The Stern Series is AMAZING.
I liked Zander in Art of Seduction and Art of Forgiveness, but I REALLY liked HIS story! I’m sure he’s my favorite of the Stern Family! I liked his strengths as a man, his power in the community and his banter towards his brothers and their women. Then the story really turned interesting when he runs into a red head on the street! Murphy Larussa can dish it out and not back down. Zander & Murphy’s story was breath taking!
