This was my first book by Ms. Carr and I wasn’t disappointed.
Even with Andrew and his many mood swings I was drawn to him. He was intriguing. He and Morgan had instant chemistry. Their story was well written with a unique storyline. There’s a little angst and mystery with a side of sexiness.
Ms. Carr gave us a little cliffhanger to get our hearts racing and thoughts churning for more.
This story gripped me and I fell in love with these well written characters and story. I wanted to chuck my kindle multiple times. I'm hanging for book 2
If there is one thing I am starting to really enjoy it is a duet where the first book leaves me with my jaw on the floor, and boy does this author do that so well! In fact LM Carr writes with such ease and a down to earth style that I feel like I know her characters, that I am part of their journey. Things are rarely easy or what they seem and that is kind of how life is, isn’t it? This story is so good! I have to say I was stunned by this cliffhanger but it makes me all the more eager to read on for the rest of Andrew Darling and Morgan’s story. I am not just in their corner rooting for their happily ever after, I am positively wedged into that corner! Andrew Darling is such a (insert unflattering expletive or adjective here), but you can't help falling for him as you begin to see he is not all that he appears to be, and I am falling hard for this man! And Morgan, she is such a cool heroine, I am just loving her too and she is equally falling hard for Andrew Darling. And can I just say that I adore the way Morgan calls him Andrew Darling all the time and find I am doing that myself too. It makes me smile every single time, no matter if she is yelling at him or not. It’s just great! These two have passion for days about everything! It makes them a combustible pair for sure!! I love that and how their conversations/interactions play out because of it. These two characters are so well developed already and I don’t even think we’ve scratched the surface yet. I absolutely cannot wait for the conclusion to their story and will be sort of patiently waiting with bated breath. Rock on LM Carr!!
Well this went bad fast! Gah my heart was crushed and left to be broken! I can't decide if I want to strangle this author or give high praise for intense emotions these characters suffer through. Life just sucks sometimes and it shows with it bleeding out in the pages. Morgan is adjusting to life being divorced and being out on her own. She loves her bosses and would do anything to help them out. House sitting being one of those things, since she lives in their pool house. Andrew is the long lost son that no one knows much about. Of course Morgan actually sees a lot more of him from behind when she walks in on him. You quickly realize that both of the main characters struggle with internal battles that are hard to over come. It's like they are missing puzzles pieces you can't find at first but fitting perfectly together with it catches you're attention. I can't give anything else away about this because the is an unique storyline. However the author doesn't disappoint and leaves you stabbed in the back with the final words....
Certainly can't talk about the elephant in the room! Or my conspiracy theories!
I can't tell you about Ace...I mean, Andrew. I can't tell you about Morgan's rollercoaster ride fielding Andrew's mood swings. I can't tell you the reasons I want to shake him but I can tell you it's justified.
I can tell you that you will fall for the arrogant ass while still backing away slowly. I can tell you that Entitled is a word that best describes my feelings about Entrusted. I am Entitled to have it ASAP. (Now to convince the author...)
I can tell you that you will be driven nuts by the chemistry, the absence, and the back and forth. I can promise you frustration. I promise you aggravation. I promise you will be so annoyed at the cliffhanger. (My needy grabby hands are twitching for Entrusted. Waiting is not my strong suit.)
I'm simultaneously nervous and greedy for Entrusted. I know the bubble is burst but how is going to play out. I'm going sit here sharpening my pocket knife while I wait as I entertain unhealthy thoughts and ways to deal with my frustration.
The first half of this book reads like a typical romance book. When you get to the middle it changes more into a book of its own. This book is about Morgan. She is a recently divorced woman who is trying to find her way alone. She is fortunate enough to work for a great company as a graphic designer. She absolutely loves her bosses. Things change fast when tragedy strikes. And in walks the storm that is Andrew Darling. I loved this book! I am hoping the next in the series wont take very long. I did curse the author when I finished it.
The title is how Andrew has led his life, ‘Entitled’. From the outside, he’s the rich playboy born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s led his entire life with anything and everything one could ever want. Only we come to find out the one thing that everyone should have, regardless of your social economic status, is the one thing he’s never had. Sex and woman are nothing more than a distraction and an escape for him.
Morgan is newly divorced and hurt in so many ways from her ex, that even with the love of an amazing family, and a great job, she’s struggling to get her bearings on who she is as a person. She gave up so much to be what she thought was the perfect wife. The last thing she needs in her life is a selfish, spoiled brat that will discard her and her emotions the next day. She’s been there & done that literally.
Their chemistry is off the charts. Even when they are pissing each other off, they’re bodies betray their minds. But like with all great stories and life in general, things are rarely easy. I can’t wait for the next installment to see how things evolve for Andrew & Morgan.
Words cannot describe the emotions that are wrapped up in this book. From the opening pages to the last line on the last page LM Carr takes you on a ride of your life. There was so much heart ache, devastation, and pain woven into the story that at times I had to put my kindle down and walk away. LM Carr has the talent and the wisdom to create characters the reader cannot help but fall in love with and want to get their HEA, but just when you think the happiness begins she pulls the rug out from under you and leaves you breathless. Bravo LM Carr, Bravo!!
Well, L.M. Carr did it this time! *I was given this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy for an honest review. As an author as well, this will be a review, not a synopsis. If you want to learn more about the plot, please see the author's description.* This book had me right from the very beginning when the author had me in stitches over the appalling behavior of one Mr. Andrew Darling. I won't tell you what he did, but trust me, he has a set of balls on him. By the middle of the book, Ms. Carr was lucky I wasn't in close proximity to her because I was considering throwing my Kindle in her direction. Again, no spoilers included, but this man should be ashamed of himself. Then I got to the end and...I. Can't. Even! If I don't have part two of this duet on my Kindle within the hour, L.M. better hide. Entitled is a well written novel with developed characters that speak to the reader. While I was reading this book, I was able to see Andrew and Morgan in my head because L.M. has a way with words that immerses you into the environment she so perfectly creates. Her voice shines through from start to finish as she takes the reader through a non-traditional love story that offers the reader a little bit of everything. There is angst, sexual chemistry and tension, sadness, happy moments, and suspense. Ms. Carr keeps her readers wanting more with her latest in a long line of well created stories that should be enjoyed by all!
This book was amazing! It was a train wreck of emotions. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I swooned, I hated and last but not least I was shocked!
Andrew was quite the piece of work. Although with the life he led I am not surprised.
Morgan was a nuisance for Andrew, he tried to stay away from her and he did everything he could to push her away.
Andrew was a very very smooth talker, some of the things he said made me weak in the knees. While they didn't have an instant love relationship they had a most unique relationship. One minute they were hot and heavy and clothes were flying and the next it was icy and they were not talking.
Oh and before you dive in, this book ends on a cliffhanger, LM Carr said it was a small cliffhanger, I challenged those words. She drops a BOMB and runs off......this is a throwing kindle sort of cliffhanger.
I cannot wait for book 2, I have to know how this ends and I am not sure I will be able to read it fast enough! This may be the first book I read the end first just so my heart can settle.
Obviously my first read by LM Carr and this book had me hooked from the first word to the last. If all of them are this way--I will need to pace myself.
Wow. I absolutely loved reading this book. It’s a love story that is funny, sexy, hot as hell, and quite a page turner. The main characters Morgan and Andrew have an explosive sexual chemistry going on, but it seems something or someone always gets in the way, which causes things to be put on hold, in a way. Morgan is a wonderful character, strong female, knows what she wants, and doesn’t play games. Andrew on the other hand has had a really rough childhood it seems, but has the ability to knock your socks off with his handsome looks and sexy French talk, who has lead a life of being a bachelor. Then things changes when there is tragedy in his family and Morgan and Andrew have to come together to run his fathers company. It’s about to get really interesting just when these two start to see that they can get along and maybe work things out together
OMG! I knew I was going to love this book from the very beginning. I have read all of LM Carr's books and loved each and everyone of them. Entitled has taken a special place in my heart. Andrew Darling has replaced my long standing LM Carr Book Boyfriend Adam Lawson too.
The chemistry between Andrew and Morgan can light up an entire city. Their relationship is temperamental, passionate and unpredictable. You can't help but fall madly in love with this misunderstood man-whore! Like all of LM Carr's books, Entitled is emotional, heartwarming, heart breaking and realistic story.
The agony that you will go through is worth each tear and heartbreak. I highly recommend this book! I can't wait for Book 2!
just Wow!, I loved this book, couldn't put it down, the chemistry between Andrew and Morgan has you gripped from the first time they meet. Morgan is a strong and caring Female who has had her heart broken before and won't let it happen again, she is trying to mend Andrew who is a broken playboy, who on the outside is hard, he only knows the life he has had before and finds it difficult to commit to anything, you want to hate him but you end up loving him, as the story unfolds you understand him more, both characters are so well written you feel like you are part of the family.
The story has you gripped right from the start and you don't want it to end, the twists and turns have you crying, and laughing at the same time, I can't wait for book 2!
Wow I have no idea where to begin. I am still at a loss for words every after sleeping on it. WOW, I laughed, I cried, and at one point I wanted to sling my e-reader. This is a emotional rollercoaster that you will not want to get off of. From the very first sentence this Author drew me in and took me of one heck of a ride. There so much heart ache, devastation, and pain in this story there was times I had to just sit it down and walk away. This book deserves so much more then 5*s! These characters had my heart almost from the very beginning and pulling for their HEA. Just when you think everyone is falling into place, Boom L.M throws in some twists and turns that leaves you breathless. This is a must read! I recommend this to anyone and everyone
Diving into Entitled I had no idea what to expect because it sat patiently on my Kindle for so long and I didn't remember what it was about. Going in blind sometimes can be so rewarding. You feel the characters' emotions as they happen, you don't know the past and I couldn't predict the future.
Andrew Darling is a complicated character and I know there is so much more to discover about this sexy leading man. I am sure that Entrusted, book 2 in this duet, will keep me up past my bedtime unraveling his many layers. Morgan is a strong-willed, sassy caring person and could be a perfect match for Andrew but I keep thinking about how many skeletons are going to fall out of his closet before this duet ends.
I'm so excited to see where L.M. Carr takes me next.
Hardworking Morgan loves her work family. When something unexpected happens she’s thrown into turmoil. Andrew isn’t what she needs or wants but his mysterious absence from his family’s life intrigues her.
One night of lust in her past stays with her until she meets Andrew and has to deal with his mercurial emotions.
This story is well written. Drawing you into the details. Pushing you to turn each page willing until you lose track of time and place. L.M. Carr weaves a story you will wiling step into and want to remain. Your mind creates a wonderful movie as your turn each page.
Looking forward to delving into book two. Secrets will be revealed and I hope their connection isn’t lost in the price they may need to pay.
This author has done it again giving us another compelling story that pulls you and keeps you there until the end! The title and cover alone got me and when I started to read this story... Well. Done! Intense, passionate and emotional, this read had some edgy elements that gave the story of Morgan and Andrew more depth. Theirs is a complicated unconventional story that evoked all kinds of emotions toward the characters! They have their flaws, they’re not always likable, but that’s the best part about them. I liked them I hated them but they were real! The characters were well developed and the story kept me wondering what was going to happen next...and then... Holy amazeballs!
What a great story. In this book you will instantly love Morgan the leading lady of the story. As for the leading man Andrew, you will love him, hate him, want to kick him in the balls, and feel sorry for him all in the space of a few chapters. Just when you think that you’ve got it all figured out you don’t. There are many twists and turns throughout the story. And that ending, just when you think their finally figuring it out L.M. Carr throws in the mother of all twists. Warning this book ends on a cliffhanger but the next book is supposed to be out soon. As always if you’re looking for your next great read go and one click this book, and happy reading!! 📖
I love these characters! The depth that these characters have is wonderful. It makes them people that I want to be around. This book has some turns that I didn't expect. More I try to figure this one out it's taken in a different way. I love that I can't just figure out what happens next. This book has played with my emotions. It has had great times and it has devastated me as well. This book is part of a duet that means this book is only the 1st part of their story so if you can't handle the cliff hanger make sure you have book 2 ready first. I need to know what happens to these amazing characters next!!!!!!!!
Wow to think after I bought Entitled I saved it before reading it, I am a dope to have waited but in the bright side Entrusted will be out soon. The story centers around Morgan and her job at DAD, her relatively new divorce and her life. Morgan has a lot of things that would really knock a person down but she makes a wise crack , a smile and gets on with it until tragedy strikes and she has to face her past. The book moves quickly and the author makes you feel like the characters could be someone you know and those are always my favorite kinds of stories. It ends in a cliffhanger so when you go to get it just get them both you won’t be disappointed.
Morgan Montgomery, newly divorced and totally indebted to her bosses at their advertising agency. Working hard, she has managed to reach the top and has turned a fledgling company into one in demand.

With the owners away, Morgan meets their son, and discovers he is Jackson, the man she met six years ago and his name is really Andrew. Morgan and Andrew realize they are still attracted to each other and as events unfold, they find they need each other more than ever before. This is a duet and concludes with the book Entrusted.

L M Carr had me totally engrossed in this story. I couldn’t put it down and finished it one day.

I can’t wait to see how it all ends in Part 2.
