There was a moment at around the halfway point of this book where I sat back and realized - ohhhh sh*t!!! This is going to hurt. Like, I was afraid to keep reading because I knew that no matter what, I was not coming out of this without a bruised heart.And - I was right.But it was so worth it!This is the magic of a Vi Keeland book. It's so effortlessly and compulsively readable. It feels light, and sexy and swoony and decadent. So when the rug is inevitably pulled out from under you, you're alre...

Hands down one of my favorite books of all time. OF ALL TIME...I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK AND HAVE READ IT EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE I GOT IT.Vi Keeland at her best as she gives us a unique love story that I read in one sitting. My heart was full, the smile on my face said it all. Stella and Hudson are forever in my heart!

4.5 StarsI really enjoyed this.What it had: Two reasonable adults. Some cute fateful conveniences. A somewhat realistic wedding crasher/office romance.What it didn’t have: Contrived big miscommunications. Manufactured drama. Evil Queen characters.Just a fun read.

Definitely a better romance than I expected.

Since when does Nick Bateman do covers for romance books 🤔 never saw him on one before but hey I'm not complaining, he's HOT 🔥🔥🔥

4.5 ⭐️Not me being so into this book!! Some parts of the writing that I was skimming over, maybe some parts didn’t flow that well for me, but the story overall was great.I wasn’t sure where we were going with the diary direction in the beginning, but it pulled through for the end. Not a plot I was expecting and I can’t say that I didn’t see it coming leading up to that chapter (I kinda did… but also I kinda didn’t), but very enjoyable!!I like that this is more on the adult side, aka he has a dau...

It looks like Vi Keeland is becoming a go to author for me. I know there are complaints saying her stories are so similar, but The Invitaiton was exactly what I was looking for.The heroine, Stella, was very quirky and easy to love. She was also smart and determined to fight for her dream. At first, I wasn’t sure about Hudson, then he was everything and so swoon worthy. I loved Stella and Hudson together, especially the way he always complimented her when she needed a little push. They were both

***4.5 STARS***Vi Keeland did it again and proved why she is and will always be an automatic buy. The woman could write a phone book and I would read it because she knows how to tell a story.Hudson and Stella’s story is why I read romance. They epitomized the perfect romance novel couple. Hudson was just spectacular. We all need a Hudson in our lives. He was the perfect businessman, boyfriend and father. His interactions with his daughter were priceless. His expressions of affection and openness...

I'm positively giddy about this book, not for the romance which, btw, was ah-mazing but rather because of the Private Equity aspect. As you may or may not know, I've worked in Investment/Portfolio management for a while and Keeland's depiction of the process was accurate which just got me even giddier.I know, right? Bliss.

well, another great VK book not about a woman who needs a man, but about the type of woman a man needs.with strong lead characters, effortless writing, engaging plot (even though i guessed the ‘twist’ 25% into it), and a realistic and root-worthy romance, this is everything i have come to know and love about VK books.the only thing preventing me from loving this more is how much page time is spent describing a start-up business. like, i get enough work in my own life, i dont want to spend my fre...

OMG. Just wait til you meet Hudson and Stella and immerse yourself in this sexy, funny and unique story. One of my top favorites from Vi...threaded together so masterfully. Unputdownable until the very end.

Update : (This is not related to book) I researched about secret diaries . I came across a few entries of a person who was suffering from bipolar disorder, depression, a lot of hallucinations and I guess two more mental illnesses. I read it and it was really disturbing. All I can say is that I won't be reading secret diaries anymore. My experience with them turned out to be bad. ----------2.5 starsI have read only one book of the author Vi Keeland before and I had liked it but I can't say th

2,5 starsI had high hopes for this book because the blurb sounded interesting to me; however, it didn’t live up to my expectations ☹The heroine is sweet, interesting and very likable, and moreover, the hero is awesome, too but sadly, two amazing characters couldn’t save this book no matter what.*********************************************I don’t know what to call this book. Most of the time it sounded more like a business venture book rather than a romance book. It had an immense amount of busi...

3.75 StarsThis book is for you if—1) you love Nick Bateman2) you’re someone who is struggling to get your business up and running3) you’re someone who works in Private Equity or Invesment Management company4) you never read about a heroine who is a perfumist5) you adore swoonworthy, respectful, wealthy CEO type hero6) you’re a fan of the single parent tropeI find this book to be extremely relatable and authentic in the start-up business aspect. The romance is all sweet and wonderful. I like the

yeah I think it's time to stop trying and accept the fact that this author's books (and Penelope Ward for what matters because they write practically the same) aren't for me, unless I'm having trouble sleeping, then I'd gladly pick up one of these.If I'm being honest, I liked Stella and like the first 30% + the epilogue, but the rest of it? zzzzzZZZZzzzZZ. Their relationship? zzzZZZZzzZZz. Hudson? ZzzzZZZzzz. The plot twist? zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZ... I don't want to hurt anyone's sensibilities, but I f...

This tale, with a modern Cinderella like beginning, becomes something with so much depth and feeling it exceeded my expectations and left me swooning. “Well, well, well… Cinderella finally came to collect her glass slipper, did she?” ~ HudsonWith THE INVITATION, Vi Keeland pens a thoughtful, fun, and touching novel with sassy banter, and delectable slow burn chemistry. It follows Stella Bardot, perfumist extraordinare and successful investor Hudson Rothschild, who’s sister’s wedding Stella

3 StarsOverall Opinion: Meh. This felt a little lackluster for me. I really liked the h though! That says a lot since I’m typically pretty tough on my ratings for hs. I loved the (little bit of) interactions with the H’s daughter, I just wanted much more of that! I ended with being frustrated that this is yet another book that has their conflict resolved and jumps right into an epilogue. While the conflict wasn’t all that dramatic, it just doesn’t feel like a good enough resolution when that hap...

5 Stars!(ARC provided by author) Stella Bardot lives in New York and has put her heart and soul, and invested everything she has into her business for the last five years. She could definitely use a night out, so when she becomes in possession of an invitation to a fancy wedding at a prime location, she goes against her better judgement and decides to go. It's addressed to her ex-roommate who owes her money and did her wrong. She can't resist a chance to get all glammed up, and have some fun....
