Give Me #2
Give Me a Reason
The nerdy girl never gets a happily ever after with the sexy bad boy…right?
Vincent
I might have enjoyed the rock star lifestyle too much.
Working for Full Moon, I’m surrounded by every vice a man can imagine—and I’ve indulged in all of them.
But now, I’m facing the consequences of my actions in a big way. Because not only am I being stalked by someone who might be dangerous, I’ve also been assigned a full-time handler.
She’s my polar opposite—serious, disciplined, driven. I hate everything about her.
Or so I thought…
Olivia
Working for my father’s security company is a dream come true.
Following Vincent around is not.
But my job is to protect him—from outside threats and from himself. Failure is not an option.
So, I’ll need to stay focused. The fact that he’s the hottest jerk I’ve ever seen is irrelevant.
I will not lose my heart to this man.
Too bad I wasn’t as careful with my virginity…or my birth control…

Give Me A Reason by Stacy Stone is a smexy enemies to lovers romance with my favorite tropes forced proximity and opposites attract❤️ Vincent is definitely a bad boy I would love to get to know up close and personal🔥 The angst is supreme and the push and pull between Olivia and Vincent is nail-bitingly good. Their chemistry was off the charts and dare I say, earth shattering. I also would like to take the time for congratulating the author for picking the best possible Vincent for the cover ever❤️ I kept checking back the cover when I was picturing Vincent throughout my reading session🔥

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
When I saw we were getting this book I was excited to be able to dive back into the world of the kids of the Full Moon band. I grew attached during book one and have been eager for another foray. Stone did not disappoint as we follow Vincent this time as he has some issues thanks to big brother Maxim connecting with Emma. He feels a little lost making him act erratic making it necessary for him to have his own undercover security. Enter Olivia who has a great chance of hiding if she can keep her cool long enough. Throwing these two together definitely lights some sparks as they have a love/hate relationship but things really take a turn when danger is involved. Add is a surprise twist as well and you will be rooting for these two all the way until the end. I cannot wait to see who we get next. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

Strong woman in a book? HELL yes!! Liv is badass, she knows what she wants, and damn, she knows her job too well. Vincent is the troublemaker who has this soft heart and thinks he can drown all his worries away. I loved the book until the last few chapters because I was suddenly seeing Vincent in a new way and just broke my heart for Liv. I just felt the book would have been so much better without the last few chapters.
Overall, a great book with a combination of hate-love, suspense, and a badass Liv <3

1,5 stars
aside from the lack of continuity between the first book and this one (change of maxim and vincent’s last name from sinclair to moore, spelling of nic to nick), this book is also stupid but less stupid than book 1 (still stupid nonetheless)

I've been a fan of this series since the first Full Moon book, and reading about the second generation is really heartwarming. So as soon as this one dropped in my kindle I left everything aside to start reading it!
This is the story of Olivia and Vincent, enemies to lovers as its best, and I have to admit Olivia was way stronger than I imagined and Vincent is not the jerk we all thought he would be, however I won't give away any more spoilers, except for saying you have to read this series, and the prequel-ish too, asap!
Stacy has created an amazing world for all these characters and she keeps her style that is a mix between romance, mystery, intrigues and wonderful sassy/family moments.
I really can't wait for the next one!!

Loved this story of enemies to lovers. It’s got suspense, drama, rock stars, and hot steamy…showers. I love the dynamics between the group of characters and can’t wait to read the others in the series.
I received an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I am FLOVING this collection of stories and Oliva and Vincent's installment is pantingdropping, raw and emotional and i am allfrigginforit.
𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴. 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴. 𝘚𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴
Holymotherofgod i am imagining this and sending me crazy! Vincent is stealing my heart. I love an alphahole trait for sure. The sexual chemistry, intensity and attraction is oooftttt.
"𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝."
Oliva and Vincent relationship is love/hate and seeing the cracks begin to show is pantydropping knowing their attraction is building. Vincent is the wild card and i have thrown my ipad in disgust then ran to pick back up!
"𝐈𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞."
There are so many twists and turns and heart racing moments that will leave your jaw firmly on the floor. I FLOVE the Full Moon Boys and their children, and this spin off series for their children is proving be GOALS!! .
I am so emotional as i wipe my tears. The ending was a twist and i absolutely swooned. Vincent & Olivia's story is perfect and unique to them. When you know, you know. Plus this little tease at the end, In fact, as far as I’m concerned, we’re really only just getting started.
Stacy you slayed it girl!💙

Olivia and Vincent bring some great push/pull dislike for one another until they finally give in. I liked how I think this is leading into other books for the 2nd generation. Good read.

I am loving the 2nd gen of Full Moon. We've already read Maxim's story and this is the turn of Vincent his younger brother who falls for his tour "babysitter" (who also happens to be Mike's daughter) Olivia. Now that might sound like a lot of backstory. It isnt necessary to have read the rest of the series, this works as a standalone romance. Context of the past is given where needed. However, to get the full impact of this romance, I would definitely recommend the original Full Moon series. Especially because both Maxim and Vincent's romances are so heavily influenced by their different upbringings and the romance that started it all between their parents Jonathan and Camille.
In Give Me A Reason, Vincent is a little adrift. He is partying too hard and taking no responsibility. Everyone is worried for him. With the band on tour with their whole families in tow, Mike (head of security) task his daughter Olivia with keeping an eye on him and ensuring he stays safe. Olivia and Vincent have a love/hate relationship. They have a fondness as part of the wider Full Moon family but have very little to do with each other. He is the manw***e and she is the well behaved straight laced girl. This is very much a case of opposites attract.
I loved how these two grew closer and evolved through the story. I do love a reformed player story and Vincent has a lot of growing up to do to become a worthy equal to the secure and brilliant Olivia. These two have incredibly steamy chemistry and together they are fire. I loved the familiarity of the whole cast of Full Moon characters but I loved how these two shone together as their own beautiful happy ending.

Having read Ms.Stone's work before i've been looking forward to picking up more of her books! I found out about this one through social media and it caught my eye right away. I got right into the Give Me world. I enjoyed this story!
Olivia and Vincent's journey captured my attention right from the get go! Olivia is assigned as security to Vincent and keep him out of trouble. Easy, right? Wrong, because the hate is real. Can they find a way to get along and handle everything thrown their way?
Going into this story, i didn't quite know what all to expect which i really enjoyed and got me even more into it. I really liked the different way Vincent and Olivia were brought together and the breath of fresh air that was brought by Olivia being the security detail to rockstar Vincent. The way they got under each other's skin was entertaining and their chemistry was so good. I thoroughly enjoyed the way Olivia and Vincent had me feeling many things with them all throughout!
It was fun getting into the Give Me world!
With Give Me A Reason, Ms.Stone has created such a good read! I am so looking forward to going back and reading the first Give Me book, Give Me A Chance!

Stacy Stone has once again truly outdone herself and delivered another home run right outta the ballpark. Just when I didn’t think it was even possible for this series to get any better - well I was absolutely wrong . Give me a reason is one of those books that literally grabs onto all your emotions so fast and pulls at your heartstrings in ways you certainly will not be expecting. There were moments I was speechless, others I’d have a smile on my face and then before I even knew what happened I’d be crying my eyes out . All the while on the edge of my seat anticipating what would happen next . I am such a sucker for Rockstar romances with all the feels , not to mention opposites attract. This was the perfect blend of both . Do not miss it

When I read the first book in the series I was immediately drawn to Vincent and Olivia and was curious about the relationship between the two of them. This book made me fall in love with them even more. I really liked the both of them as individuals but loved them even more together. The love/hate relationship between them was incredibly addicting and the chemistry between the two of them was enjoyable.
I especially loved that the thing I thought would be the big thing in the end was actually not the case. I loved all the little twists and where the storyline went. I am absolutely loving this series and all the characters and cannot wait for more.

Give Me a Reason by Stacy Stone is the story of Vincent and Olivia. He’s a rock star and she’s part of his security team. But, now she’s being asked to take the security up to a new level. But, she can’t stand him….and the feeling is mutual!
This was a good read. I like the premise of the story. The characters were enjoyable. Just had a tough time getting into the story. I just didn’t feel the connection between the characters. Enjoyable story.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wow, what a read. I could not put this book down once I started and ended up reading it in one sitting. It moves along at a pace that makes for an enjoyable and relaxing read. It has characters that you will love no matter what happens and a story that does not disappoint and keeps you reading till the end. This book is a must read, you will not be sorry that you did.

Omg second generation of full moon has been amazing. Vincent story is next Oh boy did this boy/men need a good head slap. While being on the road and getting into trouble Olivia is now in charge of his detail. This is enemies to Lovers with a whole lot of twist. This book leaves it open for to happen with the next generation which happens. But I love where this series is taking them too.

This was such a great read! Olivia and Vincent had an awesome dynamic between the two of them. The enemies-to-lovers vibe between them was so good, and even though Vince had some demons to chase away, the two of them were just so good together. I really enjoyed watching these two grow together. Loved it!
December 24, 2022
This is an amazing enemies to lovers story. I just loved Olivia and Vincents story. I loved the twists and turns. I could not put this book down. In the beginning it was hard for me to see them as a couple, but as the book went on, I see how perfect they really are for each other. So many feels in this book. Highly recommend!

Another fabulous instalment to the Full Moon family..
I absolutely adored Vincent and Olivia’s book, I was hooked and unfortunately life/work stopped me binge reading like I wanted to, I literally threw a child like tantrum every time had to put the book down.
Vincent had the biggest growth and finally seeing Olivia as someone beautiful inside and out and the stalking issue changed him. His growth just had me swooning big time. His devotion am to his family and especially to Olivia just moved me.
And Olivia - she amazing. Nerdy and stunning, her compassion and understanding is definitely needed with Vincent.
Amazing read x

Great Read!
I enjoyed the storyline. I thought it was original and it kept me interested.
There is drama, humor, angst and steam and more. We get dual POV. I loved the banter and watching Vincent and Olivia's relationship develop and grow. I'm so glad they got their HEA!
