Sometimes you need things to get a little steamy…. Lili Valente’s got you covered with this one! Did someone turn the heat up in here?
New from Lili Valente!
I love Lili Valentine’s stories and voice.
Rebel Hearts by Lili Valente is the first book in her Rebel Hearts series. This is the story of Danny and Samantha. We first met Danny in the To The Bone series as Caitlin’s younger brother. You do not have to read the previous series to thoroughly enjoy Danny & Sam’s story.
Danny and Sam have been inseparable since they were 13. But things have happened in their lives since then. Sam is in College in LA and Danny is running his own extreme tours company in Croatia. They spend time together when they can and remain head over heels for each other but the distance is growing between them. Sam has a dark secret she is running from and Danny just can’t quite work out what isn’t right but he knows it is something. Told in dual POV, this book ends on an emotional cliffhanger and will leave you eagerly waiting to jump into book two, Savage Hearts. Emotional, gritty, and a lot sexy and romantic. Enjoy!
First love is the sweetest, but for Sam and Danny, it’s not easy. Secrets, lies and trust are put to the test in this steamy NA romance from Lili Valente.
Danny Cooney and Samantha Collins have been in love for what seems like forever. Since meeting when they were 13, separated by time and circumstance again and again, Danny and Sam have always found their way back to each other. But now Sam is hiding a secret so terrible that she’s not sure that there is enough love in the world to keep them together.
Oh, my goodness, the feelings that I went through while reading REBEL HEARTS. I wanted Danny and Sam to get their happily ever after so badly, and thought that this was it. It was clear from early on, though, that trouble was brewing, and that things were not going to go nicely here.
I don’t think that Lili Valente can write a character that I don’t love. Danny Cooney, for all that he is only 20 years old, has been through one heck of a time in his young life. That he has emerged strong, whole, and full of love for his family and for Sam is pretty miraculous. He has spent the seven years since meeting and falling for Sam making a way for them to be together. All he wants is to be with her, the girl that he fell for, and the woman that he’ll always love. Sam, for her part, is typical Lili heroine material. Strong, sassy, independent, and sure of what she wants in life, Sam has always lived with a take-no-prisoners attitude, even when her family fell apart, because she had Danny to lean on during the tough times. But sometimes, things are so bleak, so dark, that the light at the end of the tunnel seems too far off to reach.
I love this story. I love everything about it, even the tears and the anger and the sinking feeling when things start going crazy. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lili, for continuing to amaze me with your gifted storytelling, characters that feel like family, and the blessing of your creativity that makes it all possible.
So excited for this new book from Lili Valente! Get ready for an intense, emotional, STEAMY ride!
Get ready for an emotional ride. Samantha and Danny were young love that was the forever kind. They both had to deal with family drama and Danny had to move away. They continued their long distance relationship until things all went wrong for Sam. She needed to get away and Danny was her only option.
Sam and Danny leave the country and their luck couldn’t get worse. It seemed everything went wrong. Sam was barely holding it together when the thin line she was hold too finally broke and the truth of why she left her home and family came to the forefront.
This is book 1 of 2 and what an emotional ride. This is a love story but with dark edges and outside the norm. Love Sam and Danny’s journey and highly recommend it.
OMG this book is soooooo good!! Took my emotions on quite the rollercoaster ride! Danny and Samantha are amazing characters and will definitely win your hearts with their long time special love, their struggles and how they balance each other out. I love the back in forth from past to present and what a great storyline this. I love Lili Valente’s romcoms, but this talented lady can rock the heck out of anything she writes. I am one of those rare people who loves a good cliffy but now I absolutely cannot wait for Savage Hearts! I need to know what is going to happen next!
What an intense book! Man you just can’t put it down it’s that good. I highly recommend this one. It just hooks your right from the beginning. It’s nice to see Danny get his story told. Can’t wait for the next one.
