Summary

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes a romance about childhood friends who marry in Vegas and embark on a wild ride to find their happily ever after。

With two protective older brothers and a traditional Catholic Italian mother, it’s surprising that Chloe D’Angelo can manage a date without someone in the family naysaying her romantic choice。 And Dante Mancuso…oh, no。 Her brother’s best friend is not a dating-app right swipe。

But when they are left unsupervised on a late night in Vegas, all of that changes。 Add in a Vegas wedding chapel and a couple of “I dos” and Chloe wakes up with a ring on her finger and a hangover。 Dating Dante was always a secret desire, but marriage? The rift that this news would cause in her family has the both of them keeping their nuptials to themselves as they scramble to undo their Vegas mistake。

Dante knew the rules: Chloe was off limits。 Only he can’t stop once his mind starts to believe she might be his forever。 Just as their attraction deepens, Chloe flees to Bali, desperate to clear her head。

All Dante has to do is keep her brothers from killing him and convince her that they are meant for each other。 But first, Dante has to find her。

This book had me hooked from the first page。 I'm happy it was my day off, read in two sittings。 Dante had one rule to live by, Chloe was off limits! This was a rule that Chloe's brothers had put into effect years ago but one night in Vegas may change everything。 Now Dante and Chloe need to decide what to do with their future。I'm in love with this tight Italian catholic family, even though the brothers might be a little overbearing on their little sister。 Loved Dante and Chloe, they both have had This book had me hooked from the first page。 I'm happy it was my day off, read in two sittings。 Dante had one rule to live by, Chloe was off limits!

Chloe & Dante's storyLoved how the drunken mistake in a batchelor/batchelorette weekend ended up getting two people together who had been secretly in love for years。 Of course it also contained a creepy stalker, so the usual mix of romance and suspense。 Have ordered No。 3 but have to wait till next June for it。 Chloe & Dante's storyLoved how the drunken mistake in a batchelor/batchelorette weekend ended up getting two people together who had been secretly in love for years。 Of course it also contained a creepy stalker, so the usual mix of romance and suspense。 Have ordered No。 3 but have to wait till next June for it。 。。。more

Chloe has overprotective brothers that make it difficult for her to date。 She has always loved Dante from afar and one night in Las Vegas, after a few too many drinks, they get married。 Chloe is convinced the marriage is a mistake, and Dante doesn’t love her。 This is a romance that has a predictable happy ending but it is an enjoyable story。 It is the 2nd in a series but could be read as a stand alone。 Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy。

The second book in the D’Angelos series and it’s the story of Chloe。 When the family heads off to Vegas on a joint stag & hen party to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Brooke and Luca it stands to reason that there is going to be a drunken wedding thrown into the mix only its not the prospective bride and groom saying I Do!

Chloe has been crushing on Dante, her brother’s best friend ever since she could remember but Dante knowing that her brothers would break his bones if he so much as looked in her direction kept her at arms length…。 that is until alcohol messes with his good intentions。 An immediate annulment is the only solution or is it? The more he thinks about it, the more this marriage is looking like not such a bad idea to Dante This is a fantastic contemporary romance with big Italian family dynamics。 The characters are well rounded with plenty of chemistry but low on the steam factor。 Catherine Bybee is more about developing the relationships between her characters building their friendships into love rather than how many orgasms and positions they can achieve in one night which is a refreshing change。 There is minimal angst in the story but it does come with some surprising drama towards the end which adds a little depth。 I’ll definitely be interested in reading the next book in this series。 Reminder to self, if I ever go to Vegas don’t drink just incase! 。。。more

I would definitely suggest that you read them in order, as there are lots of family dynamics which are richer with that background, but you could dive in here and always read back! We join the gang on their way to Vegas for Brooke and Luca's (joint) bachelor parties。 Family friend Dante is over from Italy where he spends a lot of his time running a boat charter business。 He has a bit of a reputation as a player, but really no one knows the true him as he is away so much。 Chloe has had a crush on him as a youngster, but doesn't want to be another notch, nor ruin the friendship he has with her brothers 。。。 so when they end up doing that rashest of things and marrying in Vegas 。。。 well the fallout - if anyone knew - would be huge。 I have to admit I love the not exactly intentional marriage storyline, and the tension here is both very real, and yet also there is no unnecessary drama。 We get to know what both of them thing, what both of them think the other thinks, and what they both think everyone else will think - it is like being in on all the very best gossip and having to hold in the knowledge with no one to tell! Perfectly executed, humour, love, passion and a future that we could only dream for them。 Thank you Catherine Bybee for another delicious read。 。。。more

As soon as a romance novel starts out in Las Vegas, you know that the couple will get drunk and then get married。 It’s a common trope and a bit tired。 However, what made this rise above it was the heroine’s background as part of an overly protective Italian family。 The hero is her brother’s best friend so you can mix in the trope of the guy dating his friend’s little sister。 I liked the family scenes, but found that the novel dragged a bit。 It felt like there were several separate chapters in th As soon as a romance novel starts out in Las Vegas, you know that the couple will get drunk and then get married。 It’s a common trope and a bit tired。 However, what made this rise above it was the heroine’s background as part of an overly protective Italian family。 The hero is her brother’s best friend so you can mix in the trope of the guy dating his friend’s little sister。 I liked the family scenes, but found that the novel dragged a bit。 It felt like there were several separate chapters in this romance。 As soon as one part had been resolved, the author would throw in another set of plot points and start an almost totally separate plotline。I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review。 。。。more

Chloe and Dante have known each other a very long time, and there's ever only been one rule for Dante to follow: Chloe is off limits。 It was a n easy rule for Dante to follow, until it wasn't。 The idea of losing his friendship with Gio and Luca is devastating。 But the idea of never even trying with Chloe, it's unimaginable。 After a trip to Vegas for Luca and Brooke's bachelor/bachelorette party, Dante might just have a chance with Chloe。 If he can convince her their marriage isn't a mistake。It's Chloe and Dante have known each other a very long time, and there's ever only been one rule for Dante to follow: Chloe is off limits。 It was a n easy rule for Dante to follow, until it wasn't。 The idea of losing his friendship with Gio and Luca is devastating。 But the idea of never even trying with Chloe, it's unimaginable。 After a trip to Vegas for Luca and Brooke's bachelor/bachelorette party, Dante might just have a chance with Chloe。 If he can convince her their marriage isn't a mistake。It's another hit for me。 As always with Catherine Bybee books, I loved it。 The story was well developed, the characters were strong, and the relationships developed were amazing to watch。 I love the way Chloe and Dante's relationship changed throughout the book。 Their connection to each other was so heartwarming and fun。 I loved the friendship between Dante, Luca, and Gio and I love how they were all able to come together in the end。 This was a great story and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book。I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys the following。✔️ Brother's Best Friend✔️ Vegas Wedding✔️ Close Family✔️ Friends to Lovers✔️ Mutual Pining ✔️ Travel✔️ External Third Act Conflict✔️ Mild Suspense✔️ Third Person POV❕️ TW/CW: Assault 。。。more

Be Your Everything Be Your Everything is the second book in Catherine Bybee’s D’Angelo series。 I loved this book! No one does romance mixed with a bit of suspense like Bybee。 In Be Your Everything, the reader is taken along on a will they/won’t they romantic tale。 After growing up crushing over her brother’s best friend, will Chloe be able to trust that Dante feels the same way enough to break the bro code to be with her?

With impeccable writing and a multi-layered story, Be Your Everything wows us with the story of Chloe D’Angelo and Dante Mancuso。 In the first book, When It Falls Apart, we meet this wonderful Italian family and join Brooke as she meets and falls in love with Luca D’Angelo。 Now they’re traveling to Las Vegas for their bachelor & bachelorette party with Luca’s siblings, Chloe and Gio, and friends。 Dante is Luca and Gio’s best friend and Salena is Chloe’s best friend。 Brooke’s friends Carmen and M With impeccable writing and a multi-layered story, Be Your Everything wows us with the story of Chloe D’Angelo and Dante Mancuso。 In the first book, When It Falls Apart, we meet this wonderful Italian family and join Brooke as she meets and falls in love with Luca D’Angelo。 Now they’re traveling to Las Vegas for their bachelor & bachelorette party with Luca’s siblings, Chloe and Gio, and friends。 Dante is Luca and Gio’s best friend and Salena is Chloe’s best friend。 Brooke’s friends Carmen and Mayson briefly join them in Las Vegas。We learn that Chloe has always had a crush on Dante, but he’s been labelled off limits by her over-protective brothers。 Plus, he’s a player and he’s been living in Italy for the past four years。 Even so, the attraction sparks again in both, and during the party night, there’s a drunken decision and they wake up married。 And of course, they decided to keep it a secret while they dealt with their feelings。 Chloe is conflicted and scared, she wants to dissolve the union, Dante not so much。 He’s always had a thing for Chloe but he wants to please her。 During the story, we’re treated to Chloe’s doubts and insecurities as she worries whether Dante will be a good husband and not break her heart。 I didn’t understand some of the decisions that Chloe made, and hated that she seemed to be putting Dante off。 I always saw Dante as wanting to make a go of their marriage。 I loved his devotion and respect, not just for her but for his mother and Chloe’s mother。 The poor guy had to work hard to please all these women!There are other layers in this story that were interesting to read, like the fact that Dante’s father abandoned them years ago, and his mother stays stubbornly married to a guy she hasn’t seen in years。 Then there’s the brother code that Dante has broken and caused a rift with his friends。 Chloe wants to sort not just her relation with Dante but also her future。 As per Italian custom, she has to live with her mother until she marries and now she’s in a pickle, married in secret and living with her mother。 And she’s wanting her independence!I love how the author meshes all the different plot lines into a story that is not only a love story but a family story。 There’s a lot of interaction between all the members of the family and also Salena, Chloe’s best friend, who can’t keep a secret to save her life and is the one who always gives out the information to move the plot forward。 It truly felt like a romp, fun and entertaining! 。。。more

I think I disagree with the description of the book when it says Dante is not a dating app swipe-right。 He may not have always been, but he clearly is now!The beginning of this book is set at a bachelorette party in Vegas where the characters go to casinos and strip clubs, which is super not my scene and I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed that part, but once they had moved passed that it was easier for me to get into。 Chloe also frustrated me quite a bit in the beginning because she acted a I think I disagree with the description of the book when it says Dante is not a dating app swipe-right。 He may not have always been, but he clearly is now!The beginning of this book is set at a bachelorette party in Vegas where the characters go to casinos and strip clubs, which is super not my scene and I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed that part, but once they had moved passed that it was easier for me to get into。 Chloe also frustrated me quite a bit in the beginning because she acted as though Dante was some louse she needed to get rid of…she clearly could have done much worse! This book was steamy without being overly graphic and I was really rooting for this couple! 。。。more

Only they just can’t… and what happens when you can not keep a secret… all sorts of stuff happen!!Be Your Everything by Catherine Bybee is a quick read。 The storyline is interesting and the characters are wonderful - people you would love to meet and be with。 Chloe and Dante are HOT together。 The novel does help you understand going to the ends of the earth - ie Bali。 Enjoy the read! Be Your Everything by Catherine Bybee is a great read! 。。。more
