Price of Love
CLAIRE
When it comes to relationships, I’m a magnet for attracting all the wrong men.
I need a date—desperately—when I find out my lying, cheating ex is going to my best friend’s wedding.
Trusting the stars, my meddlesome Grams places a personal ad in the paper for me with one stipulation:
Leos need not apply.
While taking care of her, an all too familiar Pediatric nurse with startling blue eyes asks me on a date.
But he’s a Leo. Not only by name, but by birth date.
This patient, caring, determined man wants me, but my heart has paid the ultimate price in the past.
Will he be the one to mend my heart or will I pay the price once again?

A nicely written cute and sweet romance read.
The stars had written that Leo and Claire were meant to be together and their journey was interesting and enjoyable.

Another new to me hits a very high note with me! This is so exciting you guys. I am having the best reading year I have had in a long time! I’m reaching outside my comfort go-to authors and having the greatest time doing it! Don’t get me wrong, I’m still reading my go-to, but it makes me happy that so many new to me authors have hit 4 and 5 stars this year from me! I’m just giddy with it all!!
I not only really liked the storyline of Price of Love but also the characters, leading and secondary! Claire and Leo made me happy. That’s really the only phrase I can think of for them. I was in a state of bliss reading their story and them. Leo was super swoon-worthy and Claire was so easy to like as well! She had a rough history with men but Leo swooped in and saved the day and it was just *happy sigh* glorious!!

Book 4 in the Written in the Stars collection and I loved this story. You are going to be pulled into this story from page one. Claire and Leo were on fire. The chemistry and attraction between them was so good and so intense. You will be rooting for them from the get go. They were meant to be together but of course you have some people who think otherwise. Watching them get together was so much fun to watch.
I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

But Leo wow he is a dream boyfriend hell I want him for myself..lol..he made me swoon more than once.I adored their chemistry,and flirting and banter I fell in love with the characters in this story Claire's grandmother and best friend are a hoot I loved their meddling..and her grandmother was a complete believer in horoscopes and the predictions she often had for Claire.
Erica's writing was brilliant, witty,funny,sexy and emotional and I really enjoyed this story it was a pleasure to read this book .

Claire is still healing from the betrayal of those she thought she could trust so when she finds out her ex is attending her friend’s wedding she is determined to show her that she is over him and that means she needs a date. Running out of time and options her matchmaking Gran has the perfect solution and he is more than up for the task.
Leo is the perfect combination of sweet and sinful, but he is also her ex’s stepbrother. Not only doesn’t he like how Claire was treated but he has wanted Claire for a while so he is more than willing to not only be her date but show her that this date will only be the beginning.
Not only are Claire and Leo great characters but the secondary characters really enhance the story. This story has found the perfect balance of heat, humor and heart as they search for the happy ever after they both deserve.

I absolutely adored Leo! Claire and Leo's story is so sweet. After finding her boyfriend in bed with her supposed friend Claire is in need of a date to a wedding. When she runs into Leo, the stepbrother and guy she should have been with, she feels things she hasn't felt before. This was such a good story I loved the characters. Grams was a sneaky little thing. A really great read!

I will read anything and everything by Erica! Price of Love (the fourth standalone installment in The Written in the Stars series) is a friends to lovers romance filled with sexy, sweet, and silly moments. Marselas beautifully weaved Claire and Leo together, they are 100% a perfect match made in the stars.

Ladies Love Leo!! He’s MINE Though! Leo Price OWNS my heart! Put a fork in me I’m done y’all, I’m all gooey and soft inside. I didn’t think it was possible to love Leo Price and Claire anymore than I already did. But clearly I’m obsessed with them and their story. I keep going back and re-reading some of my favorite parts and realize I somehow managed to fall harder in love with them each and every time I do this. ( it’s so good and I don’t want to let him and Claire go just yet) This novella is part of the Written in the Stars Stars Series and it is phenomenal!
I love Claire. She burrowed into my heart from page one. This beautiful woman hasn’t had an easy road. But like the rest of us, she just wants someone to love her, and in the past that quest to find someone has only left her heartbroken and shattered from the inside out. She has a fantastic support system. Her hilarious grams and some pretty fantastic friends have supported her through everything, picked her up when she was devastated and broken. But now they are pushing for her to get back out there and find someone who will love her for who she is, imperfections and all.
They have no problems intervening to ensure the stars align and she meets her soulmate either. Claire is sweet and has so much to offer. She’s a loving granddaughter, fantastic friend, and an extremely forgiving person. She has the biggest heart, y’all. She just needs the right person to make her realize all of that. That manIS Leo Price, step brother to the last asshole that left her broken-hearted.
Leo Price is LIFE y’all! He’s a deliciously sweet and swoony love bug. He is gorgeous and funny. As a pediatric nurse, He dedicates his life to taking care of others. He’s known Claire for a while and he’s always wanted her, but unfortunately it wasn’t in the cards, or the stars for them at that time. When he sees his opportunity now, he knows he will not lose his chances to win her heart this time. He knows that Claire’s heart is fragile. I love, love, love how unselfish he is. He handles her delicately when he needs to, but at the same time, is also pushing her in a way that’s healing to the broken parts of her, and it’s beautiful to read, I totally cried y’all. The passion between these two is crazy freakin hot and they have witty banter for days. Leo continued to do things over and over and I was like “ HE IS PERFECT.”
This book is one you will want to devour in one sitting. It’s sexy and swoony and sweet. But it’s also funny and all the secondary characters are hilarious. It’s like this smorgasbord of genres because it’s got a little bit of everything you could possibly want. It’s got the perfect ratio of sex mixed in to this great storytelling. Erica weaves together this amazing story that is so engaging I felt like a part of it. I want to hang out with grams and watch her tv shows. Lol
This Story flows perfectly. You will laugh, cry, fan yourself, be on the edge of your seat for a minute, chuck your panties and your kindle.( because there are a few moments of sheer frustration) I love that about Erica’s writing, she always writes these stories that make you feel like you fell down the feelings tree and hit every branch on the way down. Lol
This book is that good! You need to read it.
Point blank. Period! GAH! Leo and Claire are ultimate couple goals. They are just EVERYTHING!
My Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- I love Erica Marselas. Her writing always grabs my attention page one and doesn’t let me go until the last word of the epilogue. I know that with any book of hers I read I am going to get everything I want and more. I’m gonna get something that’s full of witty banter, heat, emotions and some fantastically frustrating moments as well. Leo Price gets all my stars!
🔥🔥🔥🔥-Boy do I ever love the way Erica’s characters throw down in pound town! Leo Price was the perfect lover! Beyond Hawt!! 🔥🔥
🌪Cliffhanger Warning-🌪🌪No Cliffhanger!! #HappyEnding!😍

Wow oh wow! what an other AMAZING book in this series. This is book 4 and I'm just so very in love with this series. Each book is written by different authors and different characters (so far, maybe it will change? that would be interesting). I thought the horrible boy issues that Claire has been through is so sad and heartbreaking especially her ex in college. Heck both last guys were just terrible! But Leo ooo sweet Leo! have to love him! And frankly his eyes just sound so mystical

I received an ARC for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I don’t know what it is about these bomb authors writing these bad ass grandmothers. Erica Marselas is no different.
Claire Malone hasn’t picked the best guys to date. Now that her best friend is getting married and her ex left her for someone, she thought was her friend but turned out to be a snake. She has to scramble to find a new plus one. However, grandma has something up her sleeve.
“You would have been safer just putting my picture on Tinder.” Claire
“I couldn’t figure out how to work the app.” Grandma
“Jesus Grams” Claire
Leo Price had just finished up his nursing shift when he ran into his stepbrother's ex-girlfriend Claire. Little did Leo know, but he would end his night with not only a date with Claire, but a temporary girlfriend/wedding date. Leo hates how his stepbrother treated Claire and wants nothing more than to show her how she deserves to be treated or will secrets come out and exes' step back in?
“I wish you would stop thinking I have some hidden agenda.” Leo
Oh, Leo, I rooted for you all the way. There is nothing sexier than a male peds nurse. I loved this book. Leo was everything you want in a patient, loving, caring, hot in the sheets man. Claire is the perfect girl who has been burned bad, I mean the worst burning you could ever imagine. It takes real guts to get back out there and let your guard down and Claire was written beautifully.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a sweet quick afternoon read.

Price of Love - Book 4!
Price of Love is Book 4 in the Written in the Stars series. As with previous books, the concept of the stars and astrology signs aligning to make relationships that work is interwoven in this book. Claire has had a really bad run with men. Her ex, Tim, was the latest in a bad pick. When she found out he was cheating on her with someone she thought was her friend, that relationship ended (as it should!). Now she’s found out her ex is going to attend her best friend’s wedding with her ex-friend, she needs to find someone to go to the wedding with her! Enter her meddling grandmother and friends. They post an ad in the paper for a date, and specify no Leo’s need apply!
Of course, on the sidelines is Leo! Not only is he a Leo but his star sign is Leo! Double whammy? And Leo is Tim’s half-brother to boot! But he’s not been happy with how Tim treated Claire, and he has been waiting for a chance to date her himself and prove to her good men do exist! Add to it, he’s a male pediatric nurse! He is absolutely swoon-worthy!
The two embark on a fake-relationship and with the chemistry and the fun from her grandmother and her best friends, learn they are perfect for each other. This is a fun read and I’m thoroughly enjoying meeting a whole bunch of new-to-me authors via this series. I can’t wait for the next book!

"So far Price of Love is my favorite book of Erica. First you must know what I'm a helpless lover of fake trope. I know I wanted to read it but OMG it was pure bliss! Claire and Leo story has way too much perfect and so far better what you might imagine! I wanted to punched Claire's ex-boyfriend he was awful, irritating and so mean to her but I believe in karma, yes! Claire... she's the definition of stubborn but I do adored her. She was so blind and clueless but in such a lovely way. Leo, Leo, Leo now owns a little part of my heart, he was the sweetest, cutest and lovely man ever! There were some misunderstood between them and my heart ached for them but they were part of their story. Not gonna lie about Leo because I love him but he's a one kind of a man! They were perfect for each other! And geez my heart steal aches when I found the truth why they didn't got together before... sorry not spoilers I made a promise but I can garante you their story is pure heaven! I'm already missing them wished the book never come to and end but I'm so pleased of what I read, how the story developed and all the people that were part of their story, you'll also get why. Seriously you must read their story. I highly recommend it to you and I hope you love them as much as I do."

Erica Marselas is a new to me author and after reading this story I will definitely be checking out some more of her books. I was completely sucked into Claire and Leo’s story from the very beginning.
Claire doesn’t have the best of luck when it comes to relationships. Leo is a pediatric nurse, who just so happens to work at the same hospital that Claire’s grandmother is in. He is also the step-brother of Claire’s most recent ex. They run into each other at the hospital and start talking one day and things quickly progress from there.
They have some great chemistry. I loved how effortless and easy-going their entire relationship was from the start. Leo is super sweet and romantic. Who wouldn’t love a guy who surprises you with your favorite snacks?! Of course, things aren’t smooth sailing and there is some drama that occurs.
I loved Claire’s grandmother and her best friends. They were amazing secondary characters that added so much to the overall story. I loved Claire and Leo’s entire relationship. Their story was truly written in the stars from the very first moment they met.

Claire Malone’s grandmother is a tarot card, palm reading, horoscope following meddler. Claire’s last boyfriend cheated on her with one of her ‘friends’ and he is going to be present at the wedding of her best friend with his new girlfriend. Claire doesn’t want to go alone, but she also doesn’t have a date.
Enter, meddlesome grandmother and her best friends with an ad in the local paper for a date.
Leo Price has known Claire for years, he sees the ad in the local paper and jumps on the opportunity to date Claire. Did I mention, that Leo is the stepbrother of Claire’s ex?
This story was so intriguing that I could not put the book down. I read through the entire story in one day.
Leo is the epitome of a dream boyfriend, he’s sensitive, caring, takes note of all of Claire’s favorites so I’m pulling for him from the first time he enters the scene. I’m also pulling for Claire because she’s sweet and so loving to her grandmother and her friends and she has been through so much, she deserves her happy ending.
There is humor, angst, scheming, sex. Ooh, did I mention the sex. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won’t be the last, as I loved this story.

Erica Marselas definitely added her own piece of goodness to the Written in the Stars series all for the Price of Love. Claire & Leo were magical together, as all of their interactions were kept me laughing, sighing, and filled with love. They also had a ton of chemistry which shot sparks out of my kindle, not to mention hit me in feels as well. I was pulled in from the jump, cheering for these two for real. They were meant to be together, as it was Written in the Stars, and yet, not everyone was completely happy about it so added some drama to the mix. It made for such a beautifully intense story that I couldn't get enough, and frankly, I didn't want it to end. I know that I'm not naming names or giving details, but seriously, it's so much better without seeing other folks opinions, so hit those one click buttons to experience all this goodness for yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Absolutely Price-less! New to me author but no a forever reader. Thank you for this book! I have been in a slump, just emotionally drained from this new life . . . This book brought me back! It gave me the want to read again and I simply devoured this book an a day! I dont know where you have been all my life, but it was meant to be for this book to come just when I needed it!
Claire is an amazing character, one who has gone through such tragedy and heart break and really shows what a Taurus is. . . And darn that Leo who is EVERYTHING and more! It surely was written in the stars for these 2 even if Claire cant see it . . . Yet!
Love, love, love . . . What more can I say! This is one of those books you buy as an ebook to reread monthly and then buy a signed copy to cherish forever! Put this on your list to buy, its priceless!!!

Price of Love is book 4 (Taurus) in the Written in the Stars collection and considering I am a Taurus this review might be a little bias. This story is about Claire (the Taurus) not only being able to move on from being burned in love but to also learn to trust again and Leo (the Leo) finally getting his chance at his soulmate. I absolutely loved this love story and is my absolute favorite of the series so far!!! It also doesn’t hurt that my husband is also a Leo and our youngest son is a Gemini ( you will have to grab the book to understand that one 😉) Erica Marselas did an absolute job of bring Claire and Leo’s story to life and I can’t get enough of this couple and would love to see a series with these two!!!

Claire
When it comes to relationships, I’m a magnet for attracting all the wrong men.
I need a date—desperately—when I find out my lying, cheating ex is going to my best friend’s wedding.
Trusting the stars, my meddlesome Grams places a personal ad in the paper for me with one stipulation:
Leos need not apply.
While taking care of her, an all too familiar pediatric nurse with startling blue eyes asks me on a date.
But he’s a Leo. Not only by name, but by birth date.
This patient, caring, determined man wants me, but my heart has paid the ultimate price in the past.
Will he be the one to mend my heart or will I pay the price once again?
Loved Leo & Claire's story! Beautifully written and heartfelt! Their story will tug at many heartstrings! Loved every page!

Seriously can this novellas get any more cuter?
This was a wonderful, funny, hot and quirky story. I was flipping through it with crazy speed and just wanting to slap Claire because she was being so blind to what was in front of her. I don't get me started on Leo; that man was too good to be true.
I loved everything about it...even the drama that had me wanting to punch the light out of her ex. What a waste of space.
This series keeps delivering and I'm so excited for the next story to hit my Kindle.

Price of Love by Erica Marselas.. I am trying to come up with words for how much I loved this short story. It was just .. still no words.. great? Amazing? All the best words. Claire was likeable and easily, for me at least, to relate to her. Leo was a fun character and from the get go you are rooting for him to get the girl. Erica Marselas made you hate the bad guys, root for the good guys and just overall wrote a fantastic story. Admittedly, the plot was a little predictible, but the anthology is called written in the stars, I don't feel like that should be held against the book. Five stars, and I highly recommend. :)

This forth installment of the Written in the Stars series, Price of Love by Erica Marselas was truly spectacular. This author has a gift for telling a witty, emotional and addictive story. The characters Claire and Leo are so amazing together that I was truly hooked on both the characters from the start. Claire finds out her ex is going to be at the same wedding as her and decides she cannot go alone. She places an add for a date and ends up with the sweetest, swoon worthy man of all. Leo is like a dream come true and his chemistry with Claire is so fun. I really enjoyed this story from start to finish and the supporting characters made it that much better. Highly recommend.

Who are Jolene Barker and Nathan North? What is getting ready to happen and where? Who are Colt and Tim? How does Claire know them? I really liked Leo. Okay, I have to say, I felt like I was Claire at times and I think I fell in love with Leo myself. If Claire doesn't snatch him up, I may just have to. I really like Jolene's responses about Leo, it makes me think maybe she's the leak. I smiled when I saw Monica wizened up. Took her long enough! I loved the ending! I want more!

This story was absolutely charming. Claire has had a lifetime of bad experiences when it comes to love. But Leo is soooooooo swoony, loving, caring, attentive, hot, generous and genuine among so many other things (like a God in bed), that even when she tries to be careful, she can't help to give herself a chance. They have sweetly and slowly been falling since forever and their friends make the story very interesting with their wild and crazy ways of helping them along. And let's not forget about a very wise and intuitive grandma. She is the best! Plus really, you can't go wrong when bad guys get theirs. Like a douche ex for example.

Leo and Claire are everything...they are the true blue love story...the love lost, found, nurtured and the love that grows.
Price of Love is the story that I have been waiting for....one that can run through all my emotions and feel so down right human. This story could be anyone of us, not all aspects of course but you can't help but fall in love with them both as you read this story.
Highly recommend and I think you'll be sorry if you don't. Keep sharing your brilliant imagination and story telling with us Erica. A++++

4.3 stars
This is the fourth book in the Written in the Stars series and the one I was most looking forward to as it is the story of Claire, a Taurus. Claire has not had the best luck when it comes to finding love and choosing the right man. However, trying to help her along is her interfering grandmother who shares her horoscope in the hope that Claire will pay it some mind and act accordingly. Coming up shortly is Claire’s best friend’s wedding where she must find a date to accompany her so she will not have to deal with her ex and his new girlfriend. In order to help Claire find a date, her grandmother and her friends decide to post a personal ad in the local paper. Leo is the sexy male nurse who works in pediatrics when he happens to see Claire and rekindles their friendship. Leo is everything Claire could want in a boyfriend. However, the one fly in the ointment is that he is the stepbrother of her ex. Can these two find their happily ever after? This is a new author to me and the storyline is enjoyable. It started out slow but as the story progressed, about the halfway point, it began flowing faster and was more engaging. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.

Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can open yourself to the good. Clare doesn't have the best luck in choosing men for lasting relationships. Leo once thought he found his mate but someone stole that chance from him. Now the universe is giving him a second chance to find love? Speed bumps are thrown in both their paths. Will truths and destinies help Claire and Leo find their HEA? This was an entertaining fast read. Strong characters, swoony men, meddling friends and some steam in the bedroom.
