Marc longs for a grand romance, but he doubts he’ll ever be that lucky. Then he meets Darius, an arrogant tailor who pushes all his buttons. When Darius offers him a job, Marc hesitates—he needs a direction for the future, not another man who doesn’t believe in relationships.

Darius lives by a few unbreakable rules: never sleep with employees, fashion should be simple, and romance is for fools. Marc, with his shimmery-sweaters collection, makes him want to break every single one.

They quickly give in to desire, but Darius wants to protect himself and Marc refuses to repeat past mistakes. It’s only when they let go of assumptions, that love has a chance to take hold.

Well-Tailored is a companion novel to the Thorne and Dash series. It can be read as a standalone. 

Review

Who else has been super excited to get to Darius and Marc’s story? I was so freaking excited! The second they met, two books ago ever so briefly, I KNEW there was a story there. Alas, their time has come.

I felt like I knew Marc a little better going in since we read his interactions with Riley in past books. I felt confident that I read him right and that was validated in this book. He’s unabashed about his appearance and yet when it comes to the deeper parts of who Marc is he’s extremely self-conscious. He lacks confidence in being boyfriend material even though he has a beautiful and romantic dream about a relationship. His past is what made him feel this. His past also made him think he would never become what he wanted. Then he met Darius.

The mouth on Darius. He had me laughing till my sides hurt when he was angry the weird and angry phrases spewed from his mouth. Then there’s his dirty talk! It’s fabulous. SO HOT! This reserved (ish) character with his British accent, brilliant mind, the best education, creativity, and determination is just as closed off as Marc. Maybe a bit more. He’s adamant about no relationships. But reading his and Marc’s interactions you see early on that won’t last. 

These two characters fall hard but not fast. There’s a burn to this story and it’s not the passion in the sheets it’s the passion of the hearts. Accepting they want more and embracing it.

I loved loved loved this book SO much! It was exciting and beautiful and I cried. You can read it as a standalone because it doesn’t follow Thorne and Riley’s story but you still should totally read those books too.

Synopsis

Thorne proposed to Riley. Riley accepted.

Thorne thought that was that. They’d take a nice trip, get married, and spend a week luxuriating in a five-star hotel with occasional excursions to fabulous restaurants.

Riley imagined a traditional wedding with all the trappings. With all their friends and family. At Christmas.

Thorne concedes reluctantly, and a flurry of wedding planning ensues. At the same time, Thorne is wrestling with a recalcitrant client, and Riley and his business partner, Susan, are consumed with renovations and planning for the opening of their bakery. Stress on top of stress makes both Riley and Thorne doubt their relationship, and a major misunderstanding nearly silences the wedding bells.

By the time they reach their happily ever after, they’re both going to deserve all the romance they’ve been dreaming of.

Review

I’ve been following Thorne and Riley/Dash from the beginning. Each battling their own insecurities and finding that one person who understands all the things that run amuck in their heads. In Perfect Alignment, we are in, what looks to be, Thorne and Riley’s final stage. They are planning their wedding, Or I should say, Riley is and Thorne doesn’t want to have a huge ceremony. It’s a battle.  It also reminds us how much these two both need to compromise and it felt like this was the last hurdle they had yet to overcome.

As all Silvia Violet’s book are in this series, it’s an extremely sexual book. When you consider how these two met to begin with you sort of understand why the center of it all is sex. Their sex is hot! VERY VERY HOT! Where sex can get repetitive and be overly vanilla, these guys are like a kaleidoscope of sexual fantasies come to life. I loved the passion these two had for each other it was refreshing and I choose to believe they will be like this forever.

This is a beautiful and emotional and sexy book. You have to read it in order. None of these are standalone. You will love these guys! Their evolution has been awesome to see.

The author created a sweet world and wrote fabulous characters to live in it! Loved it!

Synopsis

Several months ago Thorne hired Riley as an escort. They fell hard for each other and ultimately made their relationship personal rather than professional. Every moment they spend in bed is pure bliss, but good sex can’t solve all their problems as they struggle to make things work between them. Thorne convinces Riley to move in with him, but their differences in age and income weigh more heavily on Riley once they share a home.

If that weren’t enough, culinary school is turning out to be a disappointment for Riley rather than a dream come true, and he’s considering the daunting prospect of starting his own business. Thorne wants to swoop in and fix everything, but Riley keeps refusing Thorne’s money or advice, feeling like he’s losing control over his own life.

Thorne and Riley will have to rely on their love for each other to help them find the balance between independence and entanglement.

Review

It’s so great to see Thorne and Riley/Dash again. These two get better and better. Thorne is older than Riley and at times I think he thinks too old and Riley thinks he is too young. They see the world differently and have their own expectations of how things should be. Needless to say they are both stubborn to the max!

Funny enough is they both want the same thing from each other. Forever. Thorne wants to make Riley’s life easier and buy him what he needs to be successful in business. Riley doesn’t want to need Thorne. It’s all so complex but at the same time I’m screaming, “Take the money, Riley he loves you! I’ll take him and he can buy me things!” 

It is all tangled with these two and they have serious hurdles to overcome as any new relationship does. They needed to figure it out on their own. I have no doubt in the next book those two are going to have other issues and more obstacles but in the end they love each other. If only they will remember that.

I really lived this book. I think even more than book 1. I am so excited to see where these two end up next and what mess they will have to get themselves out of.
