Resumen del Editor

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Eagle Elite series....

Every family has rules, the mafia just has more....

Do not speak to the bosses unless spoken to. Do not make eye contact unless you want to die. And above all else, do not fall in love.

Renee Cassani's future is set. Her betrothal is set. Her life, after nannying for the five families for the summer, is set.

Somebody should have told Vic Colezan that. He's a man who doesn't take no for an answer. And he only wants one thing. Her.

Somebody should have told Renee that her bodyguard needed as much discipline as the kids she was nannying.

Good thing Vic has a firm hand.

Great quick read

Renne is one smart woman. Vic is one intense complicated man. Love this series. Love all the twists and turns in the story.

Great Read

Envy (Eagle Elite #11.5) was a great read by Rachel Van Dyken. There are many rules for a mafia family. Do not speak to the bosses unless they speak to you; do not make eye contact unless you want to die; and do not fall in love. Renee Cassani is betrothed with her future already planned. She is a nanny for the five families for the summer. Vic Colezan is a man that doesn’t take no for an answer. And Renee is the one thing that he wants, even if she is set to marry another. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.

5 star listen!!!

This book had me captivated from the very beginning. Suspense, intrigue, secrets, and romance all rolled into one incredible story. I loved the push and pull between Vic and Renee. I adored their story and love they get a happily ever after. The secrets and connections that are revealed with each book in the series are very well written. I never tire of reading about these families. Love seeing the hero find the woman that brings them to their knees. The banter and razzing between characters is a highlight of these books. I highly recommend this book and this series!

This storyline was cute but not something that could be attributed to the Mafia. It ended abruptly and the secrecy surrounding the heroine was really not a secret! The narrators were both good though.

Scarlet Chase is miscast here...

This novella is book 9.5 in the Eagle Elite series. As a 1001 Dark Nights novella – this is designed to be a little shorter and serves as an “intro” to the author for those unfamiliar or a “bonus” for long time fans. I’ve read all of the Eagle Elite books, so I’m not unbiased, but I think it is a good “taste” of the series and VanDyken’s style.

Vic was introduced in Eulogy, but you don’t have to read that to enjoy him here. (But you SHOULD read Eulogy, because it was the best of the series!)

Envy is a novella, so the speed of the relationship is quick – but I felt like it worked here and was well done. Vic & Renee were both developed & intriguing characters. They’re cute as a couple and I couldn’t help but root for them.

We also get a tiny more about Andrei – definitely setting up for his book, Debase.

Narration:
I only listened to this once. I’ve read it multiple times. I’m disappointed that Scarlet Chase was cast AGAIN. I love her as a narrator (Blacktop Cowboys series is phenomenal), but she definitely has a “mature” voice which doesn’t fit with the 19-24yo characters she keeps narrating. Additionally, one of the things that I’ve loved about this series is that each character has his/her own voice throughout the series because the narrators changed depending on the POV. However, Scarlet Chase has been the female lead for Enrage, Eulogy, & Envy and David Benin has been the lead in Eulogy & Envy as well as narrating a DIFFERENT character in Enrage.

I’ll keep pre-ordering the e-books, but I’m losing faith in the audiobooks.
