Mine to Worship

Be Mine Duet #2

by Bianca Borell

In a secluded oasis, two broken hearts yearn for love.


Ellia is sure of two things; her love for Kian broke her, and she can never let that happen again. Hiding away at her aunt’s lodge, she tries to heal. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere she finds some much-needed peace when surprising news turns her world upside down. On top of that, Kian shows up, raw and vulnerable as she wouldn’t have imagined him before.

He claims to worship her. Pleads for a second chance. But it’s too late, their love is ruined.

Ellia is resolute not to let him in. Not this time. Never again.

Fueled by revenge for so long, Kian believed Ellia capable of betrayal. Yet when the truth is revealed, he is determined to do whatever it takes to win Ellia back.

The woman he loves doesn’t want him anymore. Desperate to win her back, he offers a deal. Fighting for what he wants is second nature, and never has there been a better reason than now. He will fight for Ellia, for their love, and their future. One way or another, he will earn his way back into her heart.

Will Ellia give Kian a second chance? Or are the mistakes they made too big an obstacle to overcome?

I love Ellia and Kian so much, they’re one of my favorite couples🤌🏻
I was actually worried that I wouldn’t like this book as much as I liked the first one but I wasn’t disappointed😮‍💨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Right at the beginning there was already enough drama for me, I thought I‘d be overwhelmed but the author really made it flow very well😂
I was happy that Kian and Ellia actually made up and didn’t break up all the time. Instead they always tried to find a solution. Also I loved how they both supported each other all the time.

I‘m all for spice but just like the first book, this had too many spicy scenes that it didn’t really feel needed. However, the spicy scenes were written very good (but too short).🫣

By the end of the book the plot was getting better and I‘m glad that there was a HEA. I liked the writing style of the author but it wasn’t the best because there were some parts where the descriptions didn’t quite make sense to me.

Mine to Worship is the concluding chapter in Ellia & Kian's story, and as such, YOU CANNOT READ IT FIRST! Look, I've been going on & on about stories where the heroine forgives too easily lately, which is why I have to go on & on about Bianca Borell creating a heroine who did NOT forgive easily so I was in heaven. I know not everyone is unforgiving as I am which is better in the long run LOL, but I am who I am & I love what I love! Kian destroyed Ellia's heart, and she's a woman who isn't about to give him another chance to do it again. She's in the middle of nowhere at her aunt's lodge to heal, but things come further apart that brings the outside world to her, and Kian even shows up. He's determined to convince her to give him a second chance, and while I was enraged at him, I came to forgive him easier than I thought I would since he would do anything to fix things with Ellia but would she actually forgive him?! Mine to Worship was an emotional journey that left me with an emotional hangover since I felt every emotion that these two went through. It's a duet that you don't want to pass up as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

[Shawna Jimenez more.books.forever · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ellia and Kian! What an emotional roller coaster ride with these two. These two went toe to toe with one another just trying to make each other feel their pain when nothing was as it seemed. You knew they both loved one another so much. The heartbreak these two went through separately as well as together broke me. But watching them come back together and work through everything was amazing. Watching Kian admit him faults and him wanting to work on himself as well as show Ellia that she is his entire world was amazing!!! All in all these two were made for one another. There love knows no bounds. I am really hoping we get to see them again in the future fingers crossed Kian’s brother Brandon gets a book I love that man!

I received this arc for my honest review. Bianca Borell has written another rollercoaster of emotions that you will not want to end. Kian and Ellia’s rollercoaster continues and it is definitely one that will give you all the feels. Where the first book broke you, this book repairs all that was broken and more. Both of them receive the closure they needed, justice is served for all the wrongs and things fall into place as they should. The ride towards everything hits you with twists and drops filled with all the feels that you can’t help but feel them deep along with the characters. Hands down an amazing read and I definitely recommend reading.

Mine to Worship is the second book in the Be Mine duet, and it's the conclusion of Ellia and Kian's story. This story is an emotional rollercoaster ride from start to finish, and man, was I biting my nails. I don't want to give anything away, so just check them out for yourself, but make sure you read them in order. Bianca Borell absolutely killed it with this duet, and I hope you love them as much as I did.

[Dee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book in this duet it doesn’t read as a standalone picking up right where book one left off where Ellia accepts her dream job feel in love with the owner and he broke her completely so leaving heading to her aunt’s cabin to recap, reset, and maybe put herself back together enough to accept and cope with everything that happened. Kian her sexy as all get out heartbreaker isn’t willing to let her go, she made him better, helped him see what his revenge was doing to him as well as herself, and letting her go would be like cutting his own heart out so he does the one logical thing follows her but with he heart in his hands no more secrets, open, and vulnerable begging (which he doesn’t do/hasn’t done) but for her begging for her to just hear him out giving him another chance but he hurt her so badly making her afraid to trust, to love, because her heart is already broken. Kian promises to fix her broken heart by showing her he is all in offering a deal that will hopefully heal them both along the way so he isn’t a stranger to going after what/who he wants so he will work for their love focusing on them, what they had/have, showing her she can trust him, showing her he trust her with everything but will he get past the hurt of his family or will they come together as a family considering all they have done, will she forgive him accepting his love, his heart, can they let go of the mistrust, the fear finding something more and will they get their very own form of happiness if anyone needs it …it is the two of them?.

Artist Ellia is sure that her love for Kian broke her and that she can never let that happen again. So she has travelled to her aunt's lodge where she is trying to heal. Then she gets some surprising news which turns her world completely upside down. Kian also shows up in a state that she would never have imagined him in before as he is raw and vulnerable. He claims to worship her and is pleading for a second chance but she is resolute to not let him in - her heart just cannot take it. Kian had only been focused on revenge for so long that he easily believed that Ellia was capable of betrayal and so when the truth is revealed to him he is determined to do whatever it takes to win her back. So he offers her a deal as he fights for what he needs - which is Ellia and their love. Will she give him second chance or are their mistakes just far too big to overcome?

Wow - big emotions in this second book in the series as Kian realises just how badly he messed up at the end of the previous book and then has to do whatever it takes in order to win back Ellia and fix her broken heart. He certainly had a lot to do and he was just as focused on her as he would have been on a business deal. I loved the interaction between him and his younger brother so that they were a family again and the way he removed his father was pretty awesome too. I was thrilled when they were able to patch everything back up and it was so sweet the power that their offspring had over such a powerful man. Easy to read and understand. Contains plenty of mature content.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕞𝕖𝕝𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕤𝕞𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕔𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕚𝕤 𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 😍😍

I'm so all over the place. Kian and Ellia broke me but also healed me and made me smile and cry and laugh as they took me on a wild ride alongside their journey.

After that devastating ending of book 1, I was really scared for what was going to happen.
Right from page 1, I was turning the pages so fast. As when Kian finally realises what he has done, he is horrified and is in a hurry to rectify his mistakes.
But its not that simple. When you do something drastic, severe consequences are going to be there.

And Ellia might be crazy in love with him but why should she forget everything that happened.

But honestly, both Kian and Ellia were mad heads and I really really loved how things proceed and every step becomes a path of healing.

Ahhhh... This book was... Oh my.... I'm so full of feelings and emotions.. All good ones... Right now...
I'm overwhelmed and happy for how this two finally come to their senses but also I loved they made me work for their happy and that ending.. Ahhhh.... Smiling and so happy right now for Kian and Ellia.

This was the most prefect conclusion with all the Sexiness and Steam and heartbreak and sweet love and loads of swoony romance balanced with emotional ups and downs, that had me barely hanging onto this ride. Loved loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Elizabeth · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is the conclusion of the Be Mine Duet. I could not get into this book. It was boring, repetitive, and lacked detail and storyline.

The entire book was how Kian was going to win back Ellia. It was mixed signals the entire way. Ellia told him the entire book that she loved him and they would be together forever, but then would follow up, but I haven’t made a decision yet about future. Girl, you just told him you loved him and would be together forever. This was constant throughout the book.

Then a surprise pregnacy. This was the storyline. She was pregnant the entire book and it revolved around the entire pregnancy. OMG. Here is a thought… Kian wanted to seek revenge on his brother/father, let’s talk more about that. It would have been a lot more exciting.

The spice. There was a lot of sex, but it was 2-3 sentences and that was it. Wham.Bam.and done. However, it was pretty much on every other page, but just lacked any kind of emotion or feel.
D
I almost DNFed this book at 50% as I was soo bored. I was hoping it was going to pick up but for me it didn’t. The last 30% of the book, I skimmed just to finish it.

Rating: 2/5
Spice: 1.5/5

Mine to worship (Be mine duet 2)

This is the second book in this duet by this author. This is the continued story of Ellia and Kian, these characters take you on a roller coaster of a ride with emotions throughout this book. This is one emotionally charged book from start to finish. This book gives you all the closure you need after reading book one. This book will have your emotions all over the place and once you start reading you definitely won't be able to put thai book down till you've finished it, this book will leave you with a book hungover so big. This is an amazing conclusion to this amazing duet. Another fantastic story from this amazing author.

Ellia left Kian and went to her aunt trying to overcome her pain, forget and move on eventually. But sure, fate has other plans, and so she finds herself confronted with a fact she won't be able to ignore. 

Kian makes a truly 180 turn. Coming clean with brother, finding Ellia and making things right. Should be easy, right? But of course it is not. He has a lot groveling and explainig to do. And when he finds out Ellias secret, he has to take things up a notch. 

Apparent betrayals, needs for revenge and family situations get to talked out. And slowly but steady it works out and overcome.They have to take good care of things and Kian makes Ellia all that matters his number one priority. 

A very fluidly and well written story about second chances, rash conclusions and always to talk with each other. 

[Kristee Cat · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Love is blind to right and wrong, and once the heart is conquered, it only bows to its conqueror.”

Book 2 in the Be Mine Duet is finally here and the intensity continues!! Betrayed by people they trust, led into betraying each other and now everything just seems to be broken in Kian and Ellia’s world.

Ellia is just done, she did what she had to do and now she’s out. She’s ready to move on and forget about Kian. But Kian is not ready to let go. Once the truth of the betrayal comes to light, Kian is not more determined to get Ellia back. He wants them to start over and start their second chance right but Ellia is stubbornly refusing. He will do everything in his power to get her back even if it means letting go of everything he thought he wanted before they met.

*whew* Kian is still intense and hot AF! He know what he wants and he won’t stop until he gets it. I’m really loving the whole Alphahero/ soft touch-ish vibe he got going on! And Ellia, love how she strong she is but girl! Stop fighting! You belong together!! 😆

There was one part that really had me sitting on the edge of my seat!

𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗥𝗖 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻.

The first book needs to be read!

I absolutely loved Kian and Ellia! What an intense couple!

The story picks up right after the event in book 1, Ellia is heartbroken and seeks refuge at her aunts. Kian is equally heartbroken.
I do not want to give away any spoilers so I'll leave the story like this.

The love between these two is all consuming. They both have issues and need to process a lot. I loved how much these characters grew toward the end.

Kian is an OTT man and Ellia is his.

The twists and turns in this book had my feelings going all over the place. But the ending makes it all worth it. The love between these two is beautiful.

Mine to Worship is the second book in the ‘Be Mine’ duet and sees the conclusion of Kian and Ellia’s story, and oh what an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish! This book continues where the first one, Mine to Ruin, finished. Realising his mistakes, Kian seeks and finds Ellia and declares his feelings for her but Ellia is having none of it! Can Kian break down her barriers and will Ellia give him a second chance?

This duet of books is absolutely riveting. A fabulous, well written story that I found hard to put down - I just flew through the pages but at the same time, didn’t want it to end! Absolutely loved it, a definite 5 star read that I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

[Naughty Nightie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mine to Worship continues on from where Book One, Mine to Ruin, finished. Kian is determined to do everything in his power to win Ellia back. He wants and needs her to be his forever and have his babies. He truly does everything he can to spoil and look after her through this difficult pregnancy she is experiencing. Bianca keeps you turning the pages with his tenderness towards Ellia, and the twists and turns you don't see coming with other dramas in the family. Will Ellia and Kian get their HEA, or will family dramas tear them apart?
I received an arc for a voluntary honest review for NNBB. You will love this read if you love a sweet Billionaire romance with added family drama. You will need to read Book One Mine to Ruin so you will know what is going on in this book.

[Reading In the Red Room · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the conclusion of Ellia and Kian’s story. It picks up with Kian looking for and finding Ellia. Kian will do whatever he can to win Ellia back. He loves and adores her and knows that the emotional baggage he cares is ruining them. Can Ellia break down his walls to have a happily ever after? Can these two build an amazing life together? This was a emotional journey for both main characters. I really enjoyed the connection they shared and the amazingly layered story. The chemistry was page turning hot and I’m so glad I was able to read this amazing duet. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second and conclusion of this amazing duet. Ellia is broken and is in hiding to heal at her aunts’ lodge. Kian has been fuelled by revenge for so long, and knows he was mistaken about Ellia betraying him, and he is determined to convince her to give him a 2nd chance, but is it to late? This is a well written emotional roller coaster, 2nd chance romance, with secrets vengeance, betrayal intrigue, tension, truths, revelations, redemption, and love, which leads to an intense and riveting page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Book 2 was definitely my favorite. Book 1 was hard to get into, but book 2 had me hooked. I loved the characters alot more. I finally got to know more about both characters and their back stories broke my heart. This book has some great twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. Both characters showed a lot of growth and were less annoying. Kian was so sweet, caring, romantic, and protective. I loved that he fought for his future with Ellia. This story was so sweet and sexy. The spicy scenes were in abundance. I loved the ending and so happy both characters got the HEA.

This is the exciting conclusion to Kian and Ellia story. Kian is a better person when Ellia was in his life, and he is determined to get her back no matter the cost. For Ellia loving Kian and the drama that takes place between them broke her and she has vowed never to have that experience again. This story had my emotions all over the place with the twist and turns that it takes. Will Kian get Ellia to change her mind about them and will it lead them to rekindling the love they once shared?

Ellia and Kian.. what interesting characters for sure! I love the duet they have together and even though there was some crazy and dramatic plot it still caught my attention. The characters and the other supporting character fit perfectly inside the story and so glad to have read both of them and have HEA. I was so impatient to find out and glad to have finished with a smile on my face! Thank you and liked it a lot.

Ellia and Kain’s story concludes. Kain is determined to win back Ellia at any cost, he knows he can’t live without and he’s setting to prove just how important she is to him.
Ellia knows she never stopped loving Kian but the things from their past hurt her, and she needs time to get over them, she needs to work out how to help Kian with his insecurities.
While they are trying to find their way with each other they also have to deal with the things from their past and hopefully get some closure to help them move on together.

[Sissy's Romance Book Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

MINE TO WORSHIP by Bianca Borell is book Two in the Be Mine Duet. This continues the story of Ellia Dewine and Kian Reyes, so you will need to read the previous book 'Mine to Ruin'. Kian first thought and goal has been revenge. This caused him to see clearly about Ellia. Ellia went into hiding to recover from her broken heart but Kian found the truth and is fighting now not for revenge by for his goal to get by Ellia. Loved this Duet and I hope to read more from this author.

This book was absolutely better than I could ever have imagined. This book truly sent me through a rollercoaster of emotions. I was happy, sad, mad, elated, and broken hearted. This book picks right up where the last book stopped. Kian shows up to see Elia and he is heartbroken. He realizes that he knows he screwed up and he is willing to do whatever it takes to win her back. This book had me in all my feels and if you liked the first book, I promise you will LOVE this one!

4.5 Stars ⭐️

This was the second book and it was a total emotional roller coaster. It was eloquently written and just as captivating. Kian realized how badly he has messed up and he now wants a second chance to prove his love to Ellia. Ellia now is not willing to trust him and give him a chance. The story kept me hooked from the beginning until the very end. This is the first time I’ve read this author but definitely won’t be the last. Definitely a must read.

Mine to Worship is the second book in the Be Mine Duet.

For being only a duet, soooo many things have happened, the highs and lows, heartbreak, revenge, lust....even an HEA....HUGE emotional roller-coaster, but worth it. I loved Ellia and Kian. Their chemistry and THAT SPIIIICCCEEE.
This is my first series to Bianca Borell's writing and her storytelling is incredible! Definitely adding her backlist to my TBR.

This second book Mine to Worship was just as intense as the first one. Ellia and Kian have lots to work through to get to their HEA and the road to there is rocky. Struggling with trust and fear is hard to handle but they find a way.
I loved the story so much I wished it didn’t come to an end and can’t wait to see more of Bianca’s work !

ARC REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“You are mine, today, tomorrow and as long as I breathe and walk on this damn earth. And if there’s life after this, I’ll find you and claim you as mine again.”

Mine to Worship felt like such a 180 from Mine to Ruin in all the right ways. The entire story was massive character development and I was so in love with Kian throughout it all.

It was about overcoming insecurities, building genuine relationships and healing emotionally. Just one of the sweetest books I’ve read this year.

This book is so cute. I loved it. There was groveling and a protective trope and I am always a big fan of a surprise baby. I thought these two are just so in love with each other and I’m so glad they could make it work. Some of the highlights were DUAL POVS, spice and a HEA.

A fantastic conclusion to the duet. Deliciously dark and sinful. Wonderful character development, and brilliantly woven story. Would recommend.
