If you’ve read Mine, then you’re already familiar with Danny Holmes and Bianca Chou, supporting characters in that book. But if you haven’t, it’s not necessary to follow this story although I highly recommend Mine if for no other reason then it’s a fun, sweet, and sexy story.
So Danny and Bianca became acquainted when she participated on a tropical island Bachelor style reality show, and Danny was posing as the butler though really he was the best friend of the bachelor.
“In the biblical sense we’re pretty close. We just never talked all that much.”
Now it’s a month later and the two have reunited for a cruise, her consolation prize from the show. Bianca’s hoping this new adventure will provide them with time to connect beyond the physical; meanwhile Danny hopes he can keep up the pretense of having more money than he really does.
Though this is a novella, it actually has good story development. The only places it seemed to fall a little short is on the love scenes which often get derailed by other hijinks. Perhaps for that reason I couldn’t quite determine the chemistry between them. What can I say, I sorta craved more action with Danny’s danglies ;-)
Speaking of Danny, he’s quite a good guy, a real catch. A med student, he seemed solid and stable but with a fun, flirty demeanor that was cute.
“‘Your arse does this cute little wiggle when I smack it, and when you come, the way you moan grips me by the balls and nearly unmans me.’”
I really felt bad for him when their vacation kept going awry. Bianca was just okay. Even though the events that befall them weren’t technically her fault, for some reason I still felt like she needed to up her game to be more worthy of such a good guy like Danny. None the less, I was still rooting for them to have things go their way.
Told via Danny and Bianca’s first person point of view, the story also interweaves cameos from characters featured in Kim Linwood’s previous books —a nice treat to revisit some old favorites.

Absolutely loved this book
July 28, 2016
I absolutely loved it! Danny and Bianca are so adorably cute together! I laughed often and teared up a just a little, for sad and happy reasons. The story is shorter than most, but I felt nothing was lacking. Also the appearance of characters from other books was a pleasant, fun surprise! I highly recommend Yours. I received this arc in exchange for my honest review.

I probably should have read Mine before reading Yours.
Without the additional knowledge the beginning is confusing and half of the relationship is missing.
Excluding that, I still wasn't a fan of the story. The whole thing seemed to be a money debacle instead of a love story. There wasn't much depth or character development. It was a quick read, but kind of boring.

Loved Danny & Bianca's story. The story & characters made me laugh & at times felt nervous that something would go wrong. But in the end we got a HEA! Let's not forget a few steamy schemes as well.

A decent billionaire contemporary romance
Some humorous scenes
And a decent story with a few steamy scenes
Nothing blew me away but great if you like billionaire contemporary romance

Sweet short story. Danny and Bianca first met on a reality show, but now away from the cameras they must see if they have what it takes to make a relationship work. Through the ups and downs of this sweet, quirky romance, the reader cannot help but root for love.

SPICY ROMANCE
4.5 STARS
A deliciously sweet romantic tale with an entertaining plot, uplifting banter, emotional moments, vivid picturesque scene descriptions, sensuous fiery romance and the most wanted happy ever after.
Bianca and Danny had passionate moments on the Bachelor reality show. Now they are attempting to find out if their romance is real by taking a Caribbean cruise together. While they hit it off well on the show they really do not know each other. Bianca feels she should slow down a bit where Danny wants to jump right in from where they left off before he went back to London. If Danny truly wants a future with Bianca he must inform her of the secret he is holding back.
A fast-paced, well-written read that hooks the reader until the end. Danny and Bianca are certainly compatible and their romance is filled with much devotion. Danny may have held back a secret, but he is certainly a worthy partner and Bianca accepts him for the person he is. The author does a fabulous job showing how important honesty is in a relationship. Loved this story; a most enjoyable read. If you treasure fantasy romance this is a great book for your collection. {I was gifted this book and voluntarily did this review.} Without reservations, I recommend this book.

I received this for a honest review. I just love Kim Linwoods books. The thing I love about this book is you get to see some different characters from some of her other books. I always love when an author does that. We were introduced to Bianca and Danny in a previous book. Oh, don’t worry this book works fine as a standalone.
Bianca has a big heart and she is really putting her heart out there by inviting Danny to go with her on this cruise. She really likes Danny and is not certain how Danny feels about her. While she is waiting for Danny to arrive she is wondering if he is going to be a no show as the minutes tick by.
Danny is such a great guy. He had really hit if off with Bianca. He is has a secret and was wonder how Bianca was going to take the news. He was not everything she thought he was. The question is does he really think Bianca is really that shallow to even think she would care about such things.
I love how Danny truly wanted to give Bianca the moon. She had stolen his heart and he was going to move heaven and earth to win her heart. He is everything she could of hoped for him to be. He is doing his best to take it slow as she requested but it is becoming very hard for him.
There are so many good parts in the book. You will even find yourself laughing so hard. Bianca’s mother is just so funny. Well you will have to read the book to find out why I say that. I do believe Danny had won the hearts of Bianca’s family. It was great read about the love that Bianca and Danny have and watching it grow and bloom into something so much more. Truly a book I would highly recommend.

This is the first book that I have read from this author. I guess it is what is called a novella, because I read most of it while waiting for a medical procedure in the waiting room. This is a sequel to Mine, whihc I did not read, but I gather that Bianca and Danny meet on a island where a reality tv show was being filmed. Instead of the billionaire, Bianca fell for the billionaire's best friend, Danny a not do wealthy medical student. Bianca won a cruise for two and invited Danny to join her so they could get to know each other better. Bianca lives in NYC and Danny in London. While never having been on a cruise, I understood that everything was included in the ticket, so not so sure, why Danny is paying out of pocket expenses that he can ill afford and doesn't tell Bianca that he is not as wealthy as his friend. The cruise is cut short for them, when Bianca receives a phone call that her beloved grandmother had a stroke. Danny makes sure that they get back to NYC and that's when they really get to know each other. A very pleasant short read.

Danny and Bianca’s story….. 4.5 stars!
So happy to see that Danny and Bianca got their story. Remember Danny is Hunter Campbell’s best friend who pretended to be his personal butler on the reality TV show, “I’d Marry That Billionaire”, from Kim Linwood’s book, Mine. And Bianca was one of the contestants vying for the most prized position of girlfriend to Hunter Campbell. Well, instead, things got a little steamy between Danny and Bianca on the island, and they really hit it off. So this story picks up a month later on a cruise ship whereby Bianca invites Danny so they can learn more about each other, take things a bit slower. But mishaps seem to happen at every turn with this new couple, along with a secret Danny is desperate to tell Bianca. Sporting a British accent, soft red curls, and green eyes to die for, Danny is everything Bianca wants in a man. But can she protect her heart from a long distance romance? Yours is a cute, sweet novella-length story that had a very lovely HEA ending.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I loved Mine by Kim Linwood and this book, Yours, is a perfect sequel to that story. This time it's Danny and Bianca's story. Can an ordinary girl find love with an ordinary boy, that she thinks is a wealthy playboy. This book is fast paced, the characters are compelling and interesting, and has a few twists along the way. Another solid read.

Bianca and Danny.....a beautiful story
Set sail on a cruise to the Caribbean and end up in New York - that's how this short pans out.
Once again Kim Linwood has given us two characters to fall in love with in her story - YOURS!!!
We first met Bianca and Danny in Kim's book MINE, where they were the secondary characters.
Not having seen each other for four weeks, our two characters have different ideas on how their relationship is going to progress. One wants to go slow, the other wants to pick up from where they left off.
I loved Bianca and Danny, they were humourous, sexy, fun and deadly serious about each other. Danny hides a secret from Bianca though. Is it big enough to ruin what is between them? Will Bianca accept him for who he really is?
Kim Linwood has done it again. She has given her reader yet another story that they will thoroughly enjoy.
FIVE STARS from this happy reader

We remember Danny and Bianca from his best friend's story-Mine- now these two have been separated for a month and now with tickets for a cruise ship cutesy of Hunter. Bianca wants to spend the two weeks getting to know Danny as a person and get him to know her too with out all the hot wild monkey sex. They witness a very cruise type wedding of a Mr. Gavin Caldwell and his step sister lover Angie from REBEL. But her luck wasn't too good when her cruise was cut short, family emergency. Later when Danny needs to see a lawyer about something important we run into junior parner of his father's law firm, Declan Riorden and his step sister lover Claire.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Holy Cow. I started this book last night and could not put it down! It's sweet and endearing for the love between these unlikely lovers from two different worlds, two different countries, and two different family life's. Can there be compromise to make their worlds fit?! I will tell you this, that there are several hilarious scenes. One in particular with the sexy Danny is stuck in a compromising situation being questioned by some hilarious old ladies on the cruise Bianca and he are on. I was trying so hard not be loud with my snickering that I failed royally... so I was waking my hubby with snorting noses. Loved this book!

Yours is a great story! I'm a huge fan of this author having read everything she has written thus far and I have got to say, Yours was just as brilliant as Kim Linwood's other novels! The story line and the setting were really clever ANDD a few favorite characters from past novels made some subtle and not so subtle appearances enhancing my reading experience with flashbacks and giggles! Yours is a breathe of fresh air kind of story with some comical dialogue and a happily ever after ending! I just loved this!!

I am reviewing the novella "Yours" by Kim Linwood. This was a great quick read with some unexpected twists and lots of romance. Danny is so sweet and really cares about Bianca. They first met on a dating show hooking up one lucky girl with a billionaire. Danny happened to be the billionaires friend and Bianca was one of the contestants. The two hit it off during the filming of the show and meet up a month later to take a cruise together. This story had a lot of romance and humor - it was an quick enjoyable read.

I've not read all of the books yet but I have enjoyed YOURS by Kim Linwood. I love her books and this was great. We meet Bianca and Danny in Mine and this is their story. After a few months apart, Bianca and Danny are meeting in Miami to take a two week cruise together. Bianca wants to remain in New York and Danny is attending medical school in England so they both figure this is a long fling. Despite being a predictable story overall, this was a great read!

If the rest of the stories in this set are as good as Yours by Kim Linwood I will be in for some great reading. Yours is a story about the runners up of a bachelor/bachelorette competition. But the runners up seem to be more in love than the winners of said competition. They embark on a two week cruise to reacquaint themselves with each other. Caios and drama ensues with lots of laughs and lots of tears. This is a wonderful story, I highly recommend it.

I had the pleasure of being a ARC reader and when I read this book I was hooked...it's about a woman that went on a reality show and after a month they finally are able to go on a cruise together for two weeks..during their short cruise a ton of embarrassing and funny things happen that build their relationship. then one day she gets a phone call with medical emergency and by the time they get home they are seriously in love. this book is nothing but romantic and funny with real life issues.

I am reviewing "Yours", a short sweet story by Kim Linwood. It is a story of what happened to another couple after they left the island in "Mine". Bianca and Danny are such a cute couple, and nothing goes as it is supposed to for their cruise. Danny is a dream guy for every gal that is falling in love and will work to make things alright. A short sweet fast paced story with a HEA. I received a copy of "Yours" as a gift from the author. The review is my own. 4 Stars!
July 29, 2016
Loved this book! Received ARC in exchange for honest review. Loved Bianca and Danny's story. Glad to see how they connect again a month after being on Hunter's island and how they pretty much fall in love in a week. I liked how Danny did what he could to help Bianca get back from the cruise to get to her ailing Grandmother. I found her Mom funny and her dad was a perfect balance to her mom. I always love an HEA. This one delivered.
August 5, 2016
I love Kim Linwood's books! I've read and enjoyed them all. "Yours" is Danny and Bianca's story where they find love when they least expect it. Although I enjoyed following up with the previous characters like Hunter and Liz, I felt something was lacking in this book. The plot wasn't as intriguing as what I've read in the past in Kim's books. I did find both characters extremely endearing!

ARC for an honest review
Such a sweet story about Danny and Bianca. Makes you believe in love and when you find the right person, things fall into place. Just adorable how they go about getting to know each other. A man like Danny is hard to find and Bianca is lucky to have found him. Sometimes a drunken mistake is not a mistake after all.
We get a few flashbacks and some appearances from her other books that we on the same cruise and it was cool to flashback.

I received an ARC of Yours for my honest review. Bianca and Danny meet each other on a reality t.v.show and have a lustful affair. Three months after the show they meet again for an all expense paid cruise. Destined to find out if what they felt was lust or the real deal, they surrender to their insecurities and doubts and start fresh getting to know one another. A touching romance that melts the heart. A feel good story, excellently written.

What a cute great quick read by Kim Linwood this is about Bianca and Danny they met on a reality tv show but now are trying to find time to really get to know one another so they go on a cruise,and nothing can happen right? There are funny situations and I love the interaction between the H and h they are so good together.

I have only read Yours by Kim Linwood and I enjoyed it. I loved that this story was about characters Bianca and Danny who we met in her book Mine. It was a nice sweet love story with some hot sex mixed in for excitement. I liked how the characters were committed to building a relationship and were so supportive of each other. I don’t think I have read a book yet by Kim Linwood that I didn’t like.

3.5 Stars A delightful short followup to Danny & Bianca's romance that blossomed in "Mine". The lovers decide to reunite on a cruise a month after leaving the island. But their romance was not smooth sailing with humorous mishaps getting in the way. I would have liked to see them have a longer story. Characters from Kim's precious books also made an appearance in this book.

I really enjoyed this story. We meet a girl who went to meet a billionaire and found his best friend. They go on a cruise to see if it was a fluke or the real thing. She ends up having a family emergency and he moves everything to get her home in time. When it comes time for him to go back home he makes a life changing decision. Will she accept it? Will things work out? What is next for them?

I received an ARC of "Yours" by Kim Linwod for an honest review. This is a good read, I read it in one day. The characters are very likeable, I felt readers could follow it just a little better if you read the first book "Mine" (which I had), though it's not mandatory. Was glad to see the secondary characters from "Mine" get their happily ever after. "Mine" was definitely worth reading too!
