Makes me so sad to see the one star left for OWNING VIOLET when no one has read it beyond a few people. I haven't done this in a long time so I'll go ahead and tell you a few things about Violet's book (and give it 5 stars to get rid of that ugly 1 star next to the cover):1. It is the sexiest book I've ever written.2. Ryder McKay is hot. He's also sort of an a-hole.3. What he's doing is not very nice...at first. Then of course, he falls for Violet.4. It's the longest book I've ever written, comi...

I find books that you don't connect with make for a difficult review- sadly to say that this was a book that I didn't connect with. I loved the premise - cosmetic company, sisters, lust, sex, love, bad boy- it all sounded like it was going be great but it fell short. There were scenes that were unbelievable to the character. (view spoiler)[The striping in the office(several times) by Violet was totally unbelievable for me. She was a wall flower and then becomes this sex crazed fiend. Never felt

I have loved Monica Murphy since her one week girlfriend series and I am honored to get an ARC for this. 4.5 Bad Boy Stars So seriously Ryder is a bad boy that I wanna get bad with! here are some of his lines that melt me My soul is hard. As hard as that damned diamond Violet is touching. Hard and black and ugly, and crazy fucker that I am, I revel in the blackness. The darkness I will definitely mark her. In primitive, sexual ways that she'll keep hidden beneath her clothes. I'll know

**2.5 stars**Owning Violet was all over the place. Every character in the book works for the company owned by Violet's father and those not related to her are plotting to use her to advance. First, it's Zachary, Violet's boyfriend and then it's Ryder - the hero- and Pilar, the caricature villain who was Ryder's lover and rescuer. The last two concoct a very convoluted plan which includes breaking up Violet from her boyfriend, Ryder seducing her and then breaking her heart so she has a nervous br...

Dnf 38%I'm not into this so I'm bailing here. I just don't like the power play between then - she's an Exec in the family business, he's some creepy middle manager playing the alpha in his lunch break. Meanwhile, in spite of the fact she's ambitious, competent and beautiful, she doesn't seem to have the respect of anyone - her ex, her family, her employees and the grasping middle manager getting in her pants to further his career. I normally love this author's books but this story is not for me,...

3 "Stand firm" StarsI was so much looking forward to reading this, the synopsis caught my attention whilst still holding some intrigue. I have to confess however, I wasn't as satisfied on completetion as I would have hoped to have been. On reflection I feel I wasn't convinced by the characters or even the motive for some of their behaviours. As much as I wanted to root for Violet, I found her on more than one occasion weak in character as well as some of her choices made. And Ryder, dare I say m...

Her mother committed suicide when she was young and immediately she took on the role of protector of her sisters. She's is beautiful, smart and poised but her insecurities and the obsession for stability in her life allow people to walk all over her more often than not...

I could not go beyond 22% with this book and my face the hole time was pretty much like this... I love all types of books but the "heroine" in this one did nothing for me and her low self-esteem just rubbed me the wrong way. I mean really? You know he's (her soon to be - in her head- fiancé) (view spoiler)[cheating on you and you look the other way (hide spoiler)]? Don't even get me started on the male main character...So NO...I did not like the book and I was very close to giving it 1 star but

4.5 stars!! This was my first book by Monica Murphy and it was brilliant! It exceeded all expectations and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.Sexy, adult, erotic, this book has it all. Owning Violet introduces us to three sisters “born to wealth, raised to succeed, ready to love, destined to make waves.” As the daughters of the scion of a world-famous fragrance company (it brought Estee Lauder to mind), Violet and her sisters are all very different but all intimately entwined w...
