He’s handsome, lethal, and terrifying. With tattoos on his forearms … terrifying. With tattoos on his forearms and a presence full of threat, he’s a shade of evil I’ve never encountered.

Empress in Lingerie is part 5 of the lingerie series and the start of Vanessa Barsetti’s story.
Those who have followed the Barsetti’s from Buttons and Lace, will understand my chills when I read the word “Bones” in the blurb. Surely he couldn’t be back!
There was no doubt in my mind that Vanessa would be a strong willed character – after all she’s the daughter of Crow and Pearl. But when facing Bones, the son of the man who has brought so much hurt to her family, how strong will she be?
Full of hate, vengeance and lust between Vanessa and Bones this is an explosive start to the next chapter of the Barsetti family. I can’t wait to see where we are taken next.
And the series continues with Vanessa Barsetti. I am already in love with her character’s strong, independent, and willful personality. I’ve already been thinking ahead and wondering what is in store for her and the Barsetti family in the future. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!!
When I started reading I couldn’t put it Penelope Sky is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.
I never ever EVER thought I would read a book that humanized Bones or Bones, jr or anyone related in any way to all of that. Or even make me intrigued by him and want more. This book has done that for me. And man, Vanessa is super bada$$ and almost fearless. She’s very smart, resourceful, and these two have a love/hate, cat and mouse thing going that is so crazy good to read about. Every time you think the hate is softening, there is a line that reminds you they want to kill each other, they plan to. Their families are enemies. And their story isn’t over.
OMG! Penelope Sky certainly knows how to write an a–hole. I’m as conflicted about Bones as Vanessa is. But, as well as Ms.Sky writes her broken heroes, she writes strong, feisty, empowered women even better. And Vanessa Barsetti is one of her best. With grace & strength Vanessa uses the defenses she’s been taught by her parents and saves her own life. Bones is intrigued by her commanding strength and the respect she demands. I can’t wait to see how Ms. Sky is going to make this work. There is such bad-blood between the Barsettis and Bones’ father, it’s definitely going to be a wild ride. A definite must read as the Lingerie series continues.
I tell you this series just keeps getting better and better. Vanessa is the epitome of all things Barsetti and just as strong as her mother Button. I have to say I’m addicted to Bones and Vanessa story. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel about their ordeal but in some strange way their love-hate situations fascinates me. A part of me is kinda rooting for them I want them to work it out. I mean we already know that’s it’s going to be messy and nothing good can come out of there relationship. Also was I the only one getting strange vibes that maybe that Vanessa dad has a idea on what’s going on with her I felt like he was talking in code but she wasn’t getting it. Anyways I’m super excited and anxious to see where this are going to go from here between Vanessa and Bones. When that ball drops and her family find out what’s going. Overall enjoyable and entertaining read. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
