Belong to You
My honeymoon was almost everything I dreamed it would be, a tropical paradise, turquoise water, romantic walks on the beach, and loads and loads of mind shattering sex. The only thing missing was the groom.
After seven years of coasting through a relationship with Michael, my senses were numb. A week of passion with a stranger was just what I needed to clear my head and take back control of my life. But how do you move on when the man that was only supposed to be a fling somehow seeps into your soul and steals your heart?

Holy hell that was HOT!
Belong To You was not what I expected just by reading the synopsis. For those that are worried about cheating/love triangles, you will NOT find that here :)
Moving on....
After her failed engagement with Michael, Sydney ends up going on her honeymoon with her best friend, Sienna.
While Sydney is more reserved and cautious, Sienna is wild, crazy and determined to help pull Sydney out of her funk.
Sienna suggest that Sydney embrace her freedom in beautiful Hawaii and find a re-bound to have fun with.
As fate would have it, Sydney meets Jack.
When Jack and Sydney first meet, their chemistry is off the charts.
What was suppose to be just a one-week rebound turns into something more that has Sydney questioning not only herself, but her failed relationship with Michael.
But their growing relationship is not without it's problems. With Jack's inexperience with relationships, and Sydney's inexperience with men in general, both of them must conquer their fears in order to make their relationship work.
I was really surprised with how different Belong To You was in terms of plot arcs and twists. At first I assumed this book would follow the same format as many have in the wake of Fifty Shades , Bared to You , etc. but other than an inexperienced girl, and a rich alpha male, this is where the similarities ended. Not only does Jack have a few interesting skeletons in his closet, but Sydney's lack of experience fails to make her the weak, naive girl. Once the story picked up, I could not put it down.
And for all my naughty friends, let me just tell you how HOT the sex scenes were. My gosh, the namesake of this book is by far one of the best scenes in this book.
Belong To You was sexy, romantic and very entertaining. And I am REALLY excited that we will be seeing more of Sydney and Jack in book 2, Made For You.
4 stars*

Meet Jack:
When Jack and Sydney first meet, their chemistry is off the charts.
His fingers brushed mine as he handed me one, sending an electric jolt that made me pull my hand back. I looked up at him confused. He leaned down to my eye level and look me straight in the eyes, briefly searching for something.
"I felt it too."
What was suppose to be just a one-week rebound turns into something more that has Sydney questioning not only herself, but her failed relationship with Michael.
I think my heart skipped a beat for a minute at his words. Or maybe it just started beating again finally.

Jack's grip on my hands behind my back tightened. His pale green eyes turned almost gray, dark and wild.
"Say it again. Louder"
I raised my voice and matched his gaze.
"I belong to you."
Belong To You was sexy, romantic and very entertaining. And I am REALLY excited that we will be seeing more of Sydney and Jack in book 2, Made For You.

Being a big Vi Keeland fan I was really disappointed by this book although it was one of her earlier books. Singer Sydney has just come out of a 6 year relationship with her cheating ex so her and her BFF decide to use the already paid for honeymoon as a vacation full of rebound sex and that's where Sydney meets the wealthy Jack Heston. This was a typical but boring Alpha, dominant billionaire meets average, innocent woman and takes over her life. The characters were stagnant and boring and the story line even worse I am just so glad that it was a short read.

This book is absolutely smoking. My oh-so-faithful smut whores, rejoice! This one's for you girlies.
"If I don't bury myself inside of you within the next five minutes, you aren't going to be able to walk tomorrow."
This is a definite Fifty Shades/Crossfire type storyline. It's the billionnaire playboy who won't settle down, with the secrets, commitment issues and questionable history.
Belong To You tells the story of Sydney, who was engaged to her long term boyfriend, but broke the relationship off just months before the wedding. With a honeymoon booked and paid for, she and her friend, Sienna, take advantage and set off for a week in Hawaii.
And that's where Syd meets Jack. Jack, the super hot, dominant, sexy, filthy rich stranger, who Syd decides will do nicely to provide the rebound 'fling' she needs to get back on the singleton wagon.
"Are you saying you want to have sex with me this week and only get to ask and be asked ten personal questions?"
"That's what I'm saying." His response was dead serious.
"You're crazy."
I have to admit, I wasn't overly keen on the first half of this book. I didn't connect with the characters too well, I felt it was just going to be a book for the sake of writing sex scenes! And as much as I love a good bit of smut, it has to have a story and characters I can invest in for me to be able to really feel anything for it.
But this book really picked up for me post-Hawaii! That is when the story line begins to kick in and you learn more about the characters themselves.
"You're a mother's dream, tall, dark and handsome, good manners, straight teeth and wealthy."
"What about her daughter's dream. How am I doing there?"
"Fulfilling them all." I lifted my head to kiss him softly.
I liked Sydney a lot more in the second half. I wasn't keen Hawii-Syd. I felt that she was a little mopey and pathetic, but she seemed to grow some balls when she got home, despite pining for the very sexy Jack... but, wouldn't we all after a week of sizzling hot sex and then... nada!
"Do you prefer to be on top or bottom?"
"I prefer whatever makes you yell louder when I fuck you harder than you've ever been fucked."
I did feel that their relationship went a little quickly once they'd reconnected in New York. I was surprised at that and I'm still not entirely convinced that their connection is anything beyond physical. But I'll be interested to see how they fair in the next book, where I can imagine things might be tough on them.
I do have one other reservation... at the end of the book, the climax, for want of a better word, I felt that the plot line fell a little bit flat. That is to say, there was no real climax. Syd's 'issue' that I assume was supposed to be the shifting, monumental moment that most romance novels have, making your heart race and your palms sweat, threatening the future of your characters and turning their worlds upside down... you know the one...? Well, it was a bit nondescript, to be honest. It wasn't even one of those annoying misunderstandings where you want to yell at the characters to STOP AND LISTEN to one another... it was just like, 'eeeerm, nothing happened'... *awks*
So, despite the anti-climatic climax, there are a whole lot of another kinda climaxes, a very sexy Jack and a fairly decent storyline to make up for it and I will forgive Belong To You for this little faux pas.
"Who do you belong to, Syd?"
"You, Jack."
"Say it, Syd."
"I belong to you."
The second and final (I believe) book in this series is released on July 1st, so I will be checking that out next week, just in time for it's release. In the meantime, this one is on SALE for a limited time!

2.5 Stars...
This one for sure had potential starting out but then just did a nose dive, for me anyway. I stuck with it though since I was at least curious enough to see how Jack and Sydney's relationship would play out and the sex was kinda hot. The premisis of the story was intriguing since I'm a sucker for the sexy alpah rich guys but there was just too much going on with Jack for me to ever be in to him and Sydney--well, I just never clicked with her either...
Mild spoilers ahead so continue at your own risk..
They meet in Hawaii while she's on her honeymoon she ended up taking with her best friend because the marriage didnt happen-- how many times has this story been told ? -- too many times. Its INSTA chemistry and they are banging it out pretty quickly. Within 24 hours Jack is all alpha caveman possessive.. like seriously possessive ( Don't look at my girl, don't touch my girl, bla bla bla). Sydney is completely OK with this. The only thing Jack didnt do was pee on her to mark his territory...
Then there's the secrets and no strings, bla bla bla. Jack is definitly not looking for a relationship..and Syd is on the rebound from a cheater ex. Jack's a player and and he's slept with at least 1,000 women. Syd finds this out when she asks him one of only 10 questions they are allowed to ask each other to get to know each other during this week. ( ewwwwwwww....) He's NEVER had a relationship and his one and only girlfriend was when he was 16. But within 2 days he is all over Syd like a rash and she better have eyes only for him. So he wines and dines her all over the island, even flying her around in a helicopter becasue he can fly too.... . He's rich, he can fly, he's possessive, he's moody, he's secretive.. Jack is like a bunch of different other guys from multiple books all rolled in to one dude. It was crazy overload. Oh, I forgot to mention that he also has a couple of businesses.. one is connected to Sydney in a big way, hello conincence .. and the other is he owns a porn business. Yes, Jack is head of one of the larges porn movie businesses in America.
Coincedences being what they are.. of course they just happen to run into each other when she is back in New York where she lives and what do you know.. Jack lives there too!! And then they are all crazy all over each other again... and of course Syd wants to know all things about Jack's businesses.. her little venture to the porn studio was just rediculous.
I almost forgot to mention that Sydney has dreams of being a singer.. she sings in nice hotels and she's good but its her dream to make it big one day. She sang in the hotel in Hawaii and she's singing again in New York when of course her and her bff are finally discovered and this is where the next book will come in.. how her and Jack continue their crazy relationship once she's touring..
I could really go on and on about the eye roll moments this book had... I didnt feel Jack and I didnt feel Sydney. Jack had way way too much going on personality wise and Sydney was just a lackluster character for me.
The sex was pretty hot but the scenes were kind of short.. there was never much foreplay.. it was always going at it quick with no time for anything sensual or sexy. Just hot , hard , and fast. Pretty much everytime. This is ok.. but you got to throw in some sexiness to make those scenes really hot.
This book had potential, it really did... but for me it just never got there.

Sydney is on her honeymoon. Except her fiance has dumped her before the wedding. She takes her friend Sierra with her. As soon as they get to Hawaii they go to the bar. That's when Sydney noticed a very sexy man looking at her. Next thing you know Jack's spending the week with her. As his time is over and he's heading home he then decides to stay till the girls leave. Now three weeks later Sydney is home . Missing jack. The sex is amazing. The sexual tension between these two is off the charts.

2.85 stars. I had to keep reminding myself that this was one of the author's first books just to get me through all the cheese and cliche. Maybe if I had read it all the way back when 50 Shades first drew me into my romance reading addiction, I may have loved it. Alas, it takes more than just OTT billionaires and unbelievably cheesy lines to impress me nowadays.

Another playboy billionaire / innocent naive female book, but a really fun steamy read. Reminded me a lot of Bared to You (which I've read), and which I've heard people say is a rip off of 50 Shades (which I haven't read).
There is kind of an open ending, but I wouldn't say it's a cliffhanger by any means.
Anyway, I enjoyed it and have already started #2.

Walking out of her engagement, Sydney goes on her non-refundable honeymoon to Hawaii with her best gal friend. In Hawaii she meets Jack. Sydney wants to have a fling with no strings attached. Sydney and Jack create a deal where they are only allowed to ask ten personal questions about each other during the whole trip. So their stranger with benefits pact is formed.
Overall, Belong to You is a Feel-Good-Book. You want warm fuzzy feelings? You want a smile on your face? You want simple writing, nice dialogue and steam? Then, yes this book is for you.
I really enjoyed the beginning of the book. Sydney arrives in Hawaii and she immediately meets Jack. Jack is there for his friend’s bachelor party. There is insta-lust, which didn’t bother me, one bit. I also love the plot, the whole strangers / fling thing is just sexy and makes for a juicy read. The whole week they get to know each other this is where Jack’s personality really shines.
Yes, Jack is your alpha, rich, good looking successful male. He’s dominating, sexy and brooding. I loved it. He’s bossy, but in a good way, nothing too over the top, but enough to keep me entertained. I would describe Sydney the type of girl who kind of just goes with the flow with a slight guard to her heart.
Sydney did annoy me at times. I feel like she brushed a few things too much under the rug and the climatic ending was kind of non-existent. I am not sure if I wanted an over the top climatic ending, but the one I got was kind of meh and not really needed for the story and kind of didn’t make sense. Belong to You does mirror, some of the famous reads, like Bared to you and Fifty Shades, just the same feel, I wouldn’t say plot or anything else. This didn’t really hinder my experience though.
The ending was a nice close cliffy and I could be happy by not continuing with the series. I am not sure if I want to move forward because I have issues with the plot in the next book (just a personal taste, but I can’t say it without giving it away).
If you want a sexy, light read, then Belong to You is a good one.

****This book was part of a blog tour, I received a copy for my honest review****
Syd is on her honeymoon....with her best friend, not her husband. That is because two months before her wedding she broke up with her boyfriend of 7 years, tired of living someones else's life and not following her own dreams.
On her exotic holiday surrounded by beautiful beaches and romantic settings, she meets Jack, a gorgeous, mysterious man and under the encouragement of her best friend embarks on a harmless,sexy fling...or so she thinks.
Jack, however, may have other ideas. His immediate attraction to Sydney is unlike anything he has ever experienced before and this sexy playboy's passionate and domineering personality might just have to find a way to wheedle itself into Syd's life permanently.
I really enjoyed both these characters from the beginning to the end. As soon as Jack entered the pages and he uttered his very first words to Syd, my belly was all a flutter.Which is a good sign when reading a erotic romance book :)
This book is the first in another couple series, that involve a mysterious sexy millionaire playboy having a sexy affair with an ordinary woman, and their sizzling connection. You know the type I am talking about, I don't have to name, names. After reading so many of these type of stories you would think I would be bored of them...wrong! I thoroughly enjoyed it, so it just shows you no matter how many times a certain theme or plot line is done, if its done right it can still be good.
The initial meeting of this couple, there connection was electric. Jack and his bossy,dominating, alpha ways was just the way I like my male leads to be.
The initial setting of their romance and the wooing was lovely, who doesn't like the idea of a holiday romance?
This was a comfortable read, meaning it flowed, but I wasn't really shocked or surprised by anything that happened along the way. It very much followed the same pattern or formula that we have seen before, just maybe with a little less intensity. This was of no consequence to me because I liked the characters and storyline enough, it held my interest, and when reading I was excited to know how the couple work out....and guess what??? No, cliffhanger!!!
Belong To You is a sizzling, steamy little read and I am looking forward to the next book to see how Syd and Jack move forward.

Jack and Syd (hated her name) meet in Hawaii and they decide to have a no strings attached glorious, spontaneous week full of sex together. When they depart to return to their perspective homes, Jack asks Syd "do you want this to end" whereupon she says "no." Does this mean anything to him? Evidently not as he doesn't try to see her or call her for three weeks and then all of a sudden when he is out on a date with one of his former porn stars, sees his dad hitting on her does he realize he can't stay away from her. Huh? We never learned why he didn't contact her.
This was just another template story where:
- Rich, dominate man meets somewhat poor girl, has instantaneous attraction...for no apparent reason. Where I have read this before?
- Beds on first date spouting I'm clean, never had sex without condom, despite the fact that he has had sex with 500 to 1,000 women. Big effing ewww here!!! What sensible girl would want to be with a guy that had sex with that many women? *got nympho-itis* Oh, and let's not forget he's successful in the porn industry! Bleck!
- Nothing original with the template sex scenes. Absolutely nothing!
- Has never taken girl to his personal home before, never in his bed *rolling eyes* Where have I read that before?
Not interested in the sequel at all.

OH.
MY.
GOD.
I read this book in less than four hours, it was that amazing. I couldn't put it down, I couldn't eat, I couldn't go to the bathroom, I basically couldn't even function unless this book was in my hands.
This book was AMAZING!!!! Not only does it have a (thank God, seriously) not so bad cliff hanger, but it still makes me want to buy book two, like RIGHT NOW.
I'm not sure which I'm not allowed to say, or what I can because the book isn't out yet and I got a ARC copy.
I'm a little speechless. I loved this book. It's everything I dream a book could honestly be... like hot and steamy, romantic, possessive, amazing, cute, dangerous, just AHHHHHWESOME.
I love you VI for writing this book, and I hope everyone else that reads this book loves it just as much as I do. Not to mention all of the books written by Vi that I will buy after I'm done with this review.
Thank baby Jesus because seriously, this is the book, probably made for me. My head is going to live in this book for a long time...
To all the other authors that think they have a book this... perfect for me... please honestly I'll read it and review it right away. Can this by my IRL? I mean honestly? If I meet someone like Jack, my life would be fulfilled and I would die a happy lady.

To all the other authors that think they have a book this... perfect for me... please honestly I'll read it and review it right away. Can this by my IRL? I mean honestly? If I meet someone like Jack, my life would be fulfilled and I would die a happy lady.
March 24, 2013
I received an ARC copy from the author for an honest review – and I can’t thank Vi Keeland enough for it!!!
Ooh the cover!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love it. It had me wanting to get into the story immediately. Could I ever resist not falling for Jack Cole? So not!!!
And from the first page I just knew I was going to love the story of Sydney & Jack – two people who meet and feel a sudden and strong connection, a certain chemistry, not only sexual (which is pretty hot and intense) that just takes over everything we feel and ever felt.
Sydney being dumped before her wedding and deciding to go on her paid honeymoon with her best friend Siena was the best thing ever. And the sinfully gorgeous, sexy and rich Jack Cole, with many dark secrets would never have found the woman who would change his life forever.
I loved the first few paragraphs……and wow, from then onward just had to keep going and going until I reached last page.
“Can I get you something to drink?” Startled out of my daydream by the perky flight attendant, it took me a minute to snap out of my thoughts. I was in such a fog that I couldn't be sure if I had just woken, and the last week was a dream, or if it was really an unforgettable memory.
“I’ll have a vodka cranberry and she’ll have a Merlot. You’ll have to excuse her; she’s spent the last week fucking her brains out with a gorgeous stranger and can’t seem to snap out of it.”
Sienna smiled to the appalled flight attendant, a pleasant looking mid forties woman who was wearing way too many pins on her bulging uniform. From the look on her face, I was sure the flight attendant wasn't used to a raunchy mouth like Sienna in first class
Sydney decided to spoil herself for the week on the island but fate tends to change things sometimes. Her first meeting with Jack…..wow…irresistible man!!!!!
“Another round for the ladies and all my friends, please.”
The deep velvety voice immediately sent a shiver up my spine.
I turned to trace the voice to the face and was met with the most startling green eyes I had ever seen.
I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the man, but I gasped and felt goose bumps break out on my arms.
The eyes smiled down at me and I was momentarily unable to break the gaze.
I blinked, forcing my eyes to escape the hold, and slowly looked down and realized that the captivating green eyes were attached to the most magnificent man I had ever seen, who was staring at me, watching me take him in.
I loved Sydney. She’s one of those characters that you just cannot help really liking. Cute, sassy, kind and hot damn passionate too…something she believed she could never be. But soon she discovers more about Jack than just how sexy he is….the hotness and sensuality when they first “get together”. Erotic and sexy!!!
It begins like this -
Oh. My. God. I had to recross my legs and clamp my thighs tightly together to keep my body from responding to just his words.
“Are you wearing underwear?” His voice was low and raspy. I heard the desire pour from his words.
“Question number 4.”
I bit my lip and hesitated for a brief second.
“ No.”
I barely finished my word when Jack had lifted me up and out of my seat and grabbed my hand heading for the door.
We passed the waiter bringing out dessert as we flew by him.
“Put it on my room, Eduardo.”
He yelled to the poor confused waiter without slowing down his pace. I had to practically run behind him just to keep up with the pace that he was dragging me at.
And continues –
He trailed kisses along the arch of my foot, traveling up the inside of my calf. I was instantly reduced to a quivering mess of anticipation. He worked his tongue with skill over every part of my legs, gently alternating between nipping and sucking as he burned a path up my body.
When he reached between my legs, he paused, taking his time to look at my most intimate area that was bared to him. His armed wrapped around my lower back and he raised my pelvis so that I had a clear line of vision to watch him.
Every part of my body was on high alert, sensitive to every movement and desperate for more of his touch.
Smooth writing style making easy reading,with great and witty dialogue. Great characters (loved Siena…she’s so uber-cool) that are endearing and likable. Great settings. Loved the music angle...i am so totally into rockers!!!!!!!
Loved Sydney’s “tippy toes”!!!!!!!
I liked that the story happen over a period of time and not just a quickie “ first time we see each other and fall in love and live happily ever after”. There are a lot of issues that both mc’s have to deal with before they are able to be together and I did like the slow build-up to some unexpected revelations.
I was totally invested in Jack & Sydney and I look forward to the next book to see how far they have come towards their HEA.
This is the first book written by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from her.
So, if you want a fabulous, erotic and sensual story, with a solid and interesting plot, with lovable characters, then read Belong To Me.

"Holy. Shit. I knew he was handsome and it sounded like he was wealthy, but 500 to 1000, really?”
Dear Sydney,
When your hook up for the week (on what was meant to be your honeymoon) says this and claims he's "clean" - you don't fucking listen, and demand he use a condom! He lost his virginity at 16. I'm guestimating he's 33. That's 58 "sexual partners" a year. That's not smart.
"When we passed the woman that had followed him backstage, he spat at her, “Go home Jenna.” I eyed her as we passed, she was wearing a red dress that was incredibly revealing"
Dear Sydney,
Your week of fun has ended. And now you bump into him 3 weeks later following with no contact. I can't deal with twatty imbeciles that lust and drop their panties after alphas that hurt the girl by 1. Being one of those guys that feels unworthy of "said girl" so is never without the presence of OW that they have usually bedded apparently in the past . 2. Hypocritical alphas that make h's feel insecure with their mass of experience vs her, yes folks, 1 shitty ex-fianace sexual partner.
I think Jack is a sex addict. Every time they are in the room she's hypnotised by his c*ck and they screw despite the legitimate problems they have. A poor rip-off merge of Gideon Cross in some respects / Grey / Travis Maddox and others I have read but can't remember. Left a bad taste in my mouth and it astounded me that it was the same author who wrote Bossman. Night and day this was.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review. This was my first time reading anything from Vi Keeland and I loved it!!! I can't wait the the second book to this series to come out. Let first say there is NO CLIFFHANGER:)
Our main characters Syd and Jack had instant chemistry, and it did not feel forced. Sydney and Jack meet in Hawaii, where Syd was supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead she was with her best friend Sienna. She meets Jack with was supposed to be a vacation fling turn out to be more. I loved their 10 question rule =P.
Jack is a HOT Alpha male with a very sweet side. He had a slight (Kristen Ashely) feel to him. The way he talk to Syd. There was a few minor bumps for them as a couple, but nothing major.
I would defiantly recommend this book=D

May 2018 3 Star Review
This was an alright read. As I read this the second time, I thought the story was okay. I thought the characters were okay. Sydney was an alright character. She had similar qualities to Ana from Fifty Shades Trilogy, but she was not as whiny. Jack was another okay character. I thought he was a bit more interesting. Their chemistry was good. I thought the ending was good. I will read book two to continue their story. Overall, an okay read.
December 2015 1 Star Review
This book was not for me. The characters lacked depth and it was like a FSOG remake. I will say that Sydney is less whinier than Ana. However, I found the plot to be boring and uninventive. I do not know if I will read the second book. Overall, a meh read.

Total guilty pleasure read. And I loved it!
Sydney and her best friend Sienna are flying off on the would-be honeymoon. But fortunately, for Sydney she comes to her senses and decides she doesn't want to marry Michael. So after a few months of being single her and her best friend head off to make good use of the pre-paid honeymoon.
But a night out and a few too many of these...
Sydney meets Jack. He is beyond good looking, he is wealthy and he is looking at her like he wants to eat her alive. She's single - and according to Sienna is well overdue for a week filled with anonymous sex....rules are set.
No more than ten personal questions each...although I felt she wasted most of hers!
And it begins. An intense affair with a man hotter than sin in paradise.
You learn a little about Jack and Sydney through their questions game, but you sense that Jack is feeling something for the first time. He is romantic, demanding and jealous....oh yeah and hot. Her days are limited but he is filling them with memories that might just make it too hard for her to walk away. After years with Michael, the thought of leaving Jack after mere days is becoming a hard pill to swallow.
But come on folks, we know how these things go... Jack has a few secrets and Sydney is pretty messed up and insecure after her relationship with Michael. But there is something that happens whenever they are in the same room together. There is a pull - a connection and for the first time Jack wants something deeper, but he's never done this before. The side of him that has not been revealed might be enough to place doubt in an already insecure girl.
"Who do you belong to, Syd?"
My heart melted knowing that such a strong, controlling man needed my reassurance.
"You, Jack."
"Say it, Syd."...
I am so happy that although this is part of a series, you aren't left hanging with a horrible cliffhanger. You aren't punched in the gut and you have hope to hold onto. But July can't come soon enough!

My Rating: ❤❤❤❤½
This book was provided by the author for an honest review.
First, let me just state that this book totally left me wanting more by the end. I absolutely loved Jack and Sydney. He was rich and aristocratic but his bad boy side was ever present. Syd was sweet and vivacious and when she and Jack met...*fans face*...boy was their story an explosive one.
Belong To You had all of the things I loved in a romance -- equal parts sweet and sexy. There was some angst from both of them because of different issues and/or insecurities but they only helped to make the story more engaging and the characters more interesting.
Syd's friend Sienna was also a bright spot in the story. She was sassy and (unintentionally) hilarious. She was just being herself but everything she said had me laughing out loud. One of the funniest moments with her was when they went to the bar and Sienna turned the reins back over to the bar pianist.
The moment of "belonging" was totally sigh-worthy. It showed Jack's vulnerability and the strength of the love between the characters.
This story was brilliant in so many ways and unlike every other romantica story out there. The characters and the story line were unique and engaging from beginning to end.
Soooooo...when is Made for You out again. Dang that Vi Keeland for leaving me hanging like this. LOL
VERY GOOD: The characteristics of a 4 star book include: a great story; I loved the characters; and there was an interesting plot and unique story elements; there may have been a few odd things kept the story from being amazing. I would read it again and I would recommend it to a friend.My Thoughts:

One of the funniest moments with her was when they went to the bar and Sienna turned the reins back over to the bar pianist.
Sienna: "Cover for me for a while, Lenny."Jack and Syd's relationship dynamic was so interesting because they really were an unlikely couple. She was straight laced in her life with Michael but started to break out of her "normal" shell with Sienna's help. Jack was all hard edges with his playboy lifestyle and his profession. But it was so enjoyable reading Syd smooth out those edges. One of his sweetest confessions was when he said:
Syd: She turned and spoke to the regular piano player as if she was the employee and he was helping her out. I was also pretty sure that his name wasn't even Lenny."
You make me feel like I can be a better man. I'm terrified of the things you make me feel and I don't know how to control it."But Jack was no slacker in the "funny moments" category either. Calling in the "rat scare" at the hotel was brilliant and hilarious........and sexy by the time it was all over.

This was a fun, sexy story with just enough angst to keep things interesting.
What starts out as a weeklong fling to get over her ex-fiancé, turns into so much more. Jack was hot. Sexy, smart, demanding, and just the right amount of sweet thrown in. There were a few times when I was frustrated with his decisions, but I understood his struggle with the first real relationship he’s ever had. Sydney was a good heroine too. I find all too often heroine’s fall into the “damsel in distress” or the “I kick ass and don’t need anyone” categories. Sydney was neither. She was independent, and knew what she wanted, but was still emotionally available enough to be vulnerable.
The progress of Jack and Sydney’s relationship seemed very organic. It started with mutual lust, and grew from there. I am so tired of insta-love, so it was refreshing to actually have some build up.
While this isn’t stand-alone, those readers who hate cliffhangers won’t be disappointed. The story in book one ends on a good note that leaves you wanting book two, but not feeling like you have no idea what is going to happen.
This was my first book by Vi Keeland, and it won’t be my last

Sydney just broke up with her boyfriend of sooo many years because he wasn't supportive enough of her signing career, not only did she break up the relationship but also the engagement.
She is now on the way to Hawaii on that honeymoon she didn't get to use with her bff Sienna who is also a singer/performer..
That's where she meets the mysterious Jack.. 7 days of blissful hot sex with 10 personal questions each one gets to ask and then walk away.. however Syd catches feelings...
Now she is in New York, performing at the Heston hotel when she runs into Jack, aka Jack Cole Heston 51% share holder of the Heston Hotels..
I wasn't a huge fan of Sydney, after so many years with her boyfriend she falls for a guy that she knows for 7 days because he gave her some good sex? Yes she only had one other guy to compare him to but come on! This ain't the 50's girl.. Not only did she seem clingy, she was confused as heck, and just a big old nag (my personal opinion here)..
Jack had some major jealousy issues, which could have been hot had he not been so damn psycho about them!

Yep that pretty much sums it up. There were some good parts but most of the time I just kept thinking okay when is this going to get interesting? I just wanted something different. Not the same "Oh I am going to go in thinking this is only going to be a fling but now I have instant feeling for him" book! It gets old after a while. If you are going to go with that story line please make the characters likable or something different about them... Because the whole time I kept thinking this about the characters.
I hate writing reviews like this but I just couldn't connect with the story. By the time we got to the book if they called each other Babe one more time I was going to have to say this.

Sydney and Jakes relationship is definitely nontraditional. When an engagement goes wrong for Sydney and her cheating ex, her and her bff decide to go on the honeymoon together. This is where we meet Jake. You can tell easily by the signs there is a little more to him than just coming to this resort a few times. The mystery just adds to his appeal. Sydney just wants a fling in the beginning but once she starts, her heart begins to melt the ice around it put there by the douche ex. We are left with them departing without exchanging information :( of course a book cant end like that lol Music, her inital love, is very prominent in this book. Also the value of knowing who you truly are. Great messages.
April 27, 2015
I was looking for something lighthearted to read, and this book fit the bill perfectly. If you are not a fan of insta lust, this book is probably not for you. But there's no cheating,very little angst and NO cliffhanger!
Syd has just broken up with her loser of an ex-fiance and decides to go on her honeymoon to Hawaii with her BF, Sienna. Sienna is the yin to Syd's yang. They are both pursuing singing careers. Syd is pastel pinks and flower-y. Sienna is a dark, rocker chick. But they have been BFF's since 3rd grade. Sienna convinces Syd to explore her options and have a one night stand or two.
"Just pick one out and have a great time. Don't think about it and don't overanalyze it. Fuck it, don't even find out his name. Just have fun, Syd."
This is where Jack comes into the picture. He's there with a group of friends for a bachelor party.
Jack is a tall, handsome, rich hotelier. He's super possessive and an alpha male. He hasn't been in a relationship since he was 16 and this connection to Sydney intrigues him.
When the two first meet at the bar and touch, there's:
LOTS OF FIREWORKS!!!!
They quickly agree to a fling while they're on the island for a week. They agree to no more than 10 personal questions about each other. By the end of that week, they are finding it hard to part. They have slowly opened up to each other and are now feeling deeply for one another. Syd returns to New York in a depression thinking she'll never see him again, until Jack shows up at an event she's been hired to sing at:
"You're sweet and good and everything that I'm not. I tried to keep away so you wouldn't get hurt, but I can't help myself when it comes to you. I never wanted to be with a woman the way I want to be with you. I want to lie under the stars with you and talk for hours, and walk in the park holding your hand. You make me feel like I can be a better man. I'm terrified of the things you make me feel and I don't know how to control it."
Jack has a few secrets, but they were nothing too major. To see him go from the "no girlfriend" playboy to the caring, thoughtful boyfriend was beautiful. He slid into the role perfectly. The sex scenes are off the chart. Jackson is a total gentleman outside the bedroom, but inside the bedroom, all bets are off and that's exactly what Syd needs.
Were some things not realistic? Yes. Was the storyline pretty basic and predictable? Yes. BUT, it's exactly what I was in the mood for and the writing was great. I loved Jack Cole!

Jack is a tall, handsome, rich hotelier. He's super possessive and an alpha male. He hasn't been in a relationship since he was 16 and this connection to Sydney intrigues him.
When the two first meet at the bar and touch, there's:
LOTS OF FIREWORKS!!!!
They quickly agree to a fling while they're on the island for a week. They agree to no more than 10 personal questions about each other. By the end of that week, they are finding it hard to part. They have slowly opened up to each other and are now feeling deeply for one another. Syd returns to New York in a depression thinking she'll never see him again, until Jack shows up at an event she's been hired to sing at:
"You're sweet and good and everything that I'm not. I tried to keep away so you wouldn't get hurt, but I can't help myself when it comes to you. I never wanted to be with a woman the way I want to be with you. I want to lie under the stars with you and talk for hours, and walk in the park holding your hand. You make me feel like I can be a better man. I'm terrified of the things you make me feel and I don't know how to control it."
Jack has a few secrets, but they were nothing too major. To see him go from the "no girlfriend" playboy to the caring, thoughtful boyfriend was beautiful. He slid into the role perfectly. The sex scenes are off the chart. Jackson is a total gentleman outside the bedroom, but inside the bedroom, all bets are off and that's exactly what Syd needs.
Were some things not realistic? Yes. Was the storyline pretty basic and predictable? Yes. BUT, it's exactly what I was in the mood for and the writing was great. I loved Jack Cole!

HOLY JACK COLE! This book will take you by surprise. It is so steamy and full of raw passion that it will rock your world. I started reading it at work and could not no would not put it down.First off the cover model Pepe I could stare at all day long and then you get into the reading and your are pulled into the best week of Sydney's life. I can't imagine the thoughts that were going through Sydney's mind when she was dumped right before her wedding day. She was with the tool for seven years and yes st times the relation was rocky and boring but seven years is a long time to just one day before the wedding say sorry but this is not working out.
But it turns out that it is the best thing that could have happened to Sydney because she goes on her honeymoon with her best friend Siena and that is where she meets the Gorgeous Billionaire Jack Cole. What Jack gives Sydney is so much more than she could have ever expected. His passion for her and for life spark something in Sydney and she can't get enough of Jack. So she spends her one week with Jack and gets to experience so much that at the end of the week she does not want to leave Jack. She knows it is silly but when she first met him she felt the connection and she knows she wants more but is she ready probably not but her heart is ready for more and the more is Jack.
What will she do when she can't get Jack out of her mind, body, and soul? Could Jack be her souls mate? Will they come together and be a couple? I have to say that I want no I need book two like ASAP because I could not get enough of Jack and Sydney!

Lots of shortcomings that spoiled all the fun is what bugged me the most.
In addition, the plot was cut short which made me crave for more.
Sometimes I had a feeling like:
Then it got better:
And so it went, up and down
It's really disappointing when you're left hanging wondering what happened in the meanwhile.
All things considered, I would recommend 'Belong To You' to everybody who wants to kill time with an entertaining book, because there were a lot of scenes that kept me reading in spite of my frustration for the rest of the book.
Mixed feelings? Well, yes, but still...

I recieved an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
Let me start by asking, have you ever had someone you are attracted to touch you for the first time and have that jolt of energy pass between you? This book is all about that instant unexplainable kind of chemistry. It certainly does not hurt that the man it happens with is drop dead yummy, sweet, wealthy and shows his alpa side when necessary! Jack has his hang ups and is learning how to exist in a relationship ( I am thinking he is doing pretty Darned good!) while she is learning to trust again. Tons of hot and sexy moments that you are sure to love! This book has a continuation of the story to come as we are left with the character's getting ready to embark on a four month separation....will his past come back to haunt him and will she trust in his love? We will have to wait for the next book to know for sure.
