And just when the complications are wound tighter than Belle’s mini skirts, she’s stuck making that choice every teenager hates making. Family? Or friends?

New Release and Review for Wild Violet by Vivian Winslow!

 






WILD VIOLET by Vivian Winslow
The Vi Trilogy, #1
The Gilded Flower Series, #7
Genre: Erotic Romance

Synopsis

Wild Violet is the first installment of The Vi Trilogy of the Gilded Flower Series. Appearing in The Lily and Dahlia Trilogies of the Gilded Flower Series, Violet Rai, or Vi, is Lily and Dahlia Baron’s sharp-witted BFF, who is always up for a party and a hot guy. But, in The Dahlia Trilogy, there are hints that Vi’s world is quickly coming apart, and her dark secret is about to be exposed.

In this flashback story, Vi, the strikingly beautiful daughter of an Indian business magnate and English supermodel, is enjoying a privileged lifestyle in New York City while a college student at NYU. Yet, in her senior year, Vi learns that her strict and traditional father intends to force upon her an arranged marriage and a career working for his conglomerate in Dubai. When Vi is paired with sexy Spaniard, AndrĂ©s Costas, in her ballet class, not only does she find herself falling for him, but he introduces her to a shockingly different world—one that offers her the prospect of escaping her father’s plans, but at a price.



Excerpt

Chapter 2
Sweat drips down Vi’s chest as they finish the barre work. Despite every window being open, there’s no respite from the heat for the dancers who pack in the two adjoining studios. Even in the summer, the class is full of people trying to keep up their skills for possible auditions, with the exception of Vi who does it because it’s one of the only times she’s able to feel happy and free. She takes in the mix of people as she gulps down her water—men and women, mostly in their twenties, although some teenagers who look like they could be ten years-old, the majority of them beautiful, and all of them with absolutely gorgeous dancer bodies. She tosses her water back into her bag and takes her place in front of the mirror.

“Today, half of you go there,” the instructor says in a thick French accent, making a slicing motion with his arm to divide the class and pointing to the other space. The dancers move obediently. Monsieur Renard appears to be about sixty-five and has perfectly coiffed silver hair that goes well with his perfect posture. Despite being dressed in pants and a collared shirt, he doesn’t have a drop of sweat on him. “The rest of you will be paired off. Pas de deux.”

Vi searches the room for a partner. This isn’t what she signed up for today. She likes M. Renard’s class because he demands perfection and complete control from his dancers. Every position, hip movement and alignment always has to be just right. It forces her to focus, to allow her thoughts and self-doubt to melt away and for those ninety minutes to just be. But it’s too late to leave. She doesn’t back down from a challenge.

“Mademoiselle Rai,” M. Renard points to her. “Why are you not with someone? Or is your partner invisible?” He chuckles and turns to talk to the pianist.

She smiles back and with her hands on her hips says, “Seems no one finds me worthy to be his partner. Perhaps you would like to be my partner, Monsieur Renard.”

He smiles and laughs, revealing yellow teeth stained from cigarettes and coffee. “Mademoiselle Rai, if I were younger, I would have you for a partner and you would not forget that experience.” He approaches her and says, eyeing her up and down, “Malheureusement, my youth is gone and the women along with it.” Not taking his eyes off Vi, he reaches out toward the right with his arm and snaps his fingers. “Monsieur Costas. Dance with Mademoiselle Rai. You are both beautiful. You will fit well together.”

Pointing to the girl who was originally paired with him, M. Renard instructs her, “You go dance with the others.”

Vi glances over at her new partner gliding toward her, ignoring the dirty look from the female dancer.
As soon as he reaches her, he places his hands on her waist and says, “You’re the lucky one who gets to dance with me today.”

She chuckles as she moves her feet and arms into fifth position. “The same can be said of you, Monsieur Costas.”

Chapter 3 

“Come have coffee with me,” he says as Vi enters the stairwell. He’s leaning against the wall of the landing, dressed in torn, loose fitting jeans and a half-tucked, casual white button down, with two buttons undone. His beauty can only be regarded as perfectly masculine with dark, chiseled features and lean, ripped muscles. In fact, his entire body is muscle, which is to be expected for a dancer. Yet, there’s an ethereal quality to the man standing before her, the way he walks and carries himself. Vi’s never met anyone like him, which intrigues her. However, he’s so aware of his looks and the effect he has on others that it makes her ambivalent to his charms.

“Too hot for coffee,” she replies quickly as she begins her descent. He follows her down the stairwell and out onto Broadway.

“You can have it iced.”

“No thank you, I’m not interested in having coffee.” The reply is half-hearted because a part of her is curious. Of course she can imagine herself sleeping with him. The image of him taking her on the studio floor had flashed through her mind when his hand brushed her inner thigh as she moved into attitude. It sent a shockwave through her that she couldn’t forget.

“Then we’ll get water. I’ve seen you drink that.”

Vi shakes her head and stops walking. Turning to him she says, “Persistence isn’t a charming quality. It’s creepy and borders on stalking. You should make a woman feel respected, not just desired.”

He grins and puts his hands into his pockets. “So I take it that’s a no to any beverage.”

“You learn fast,” she says, hailing a taxi. Vi knows if she stays near him any longer, she might just sleep with him. One more glance at his fine form confirms that.

He holds the door open for her. “Maybe next time.”

She can sense from his smile that he’s not any easy person to resist, and who is she to pass up what could be an incredibly memorable fuck? It just has to be the way she prefers—on her terms.

Darra's Review:

I have talked about Vivian's book quite regularly on our blog. And for good reason. I truly have loved each book. Vivian's stories are not the same story we all have read before. Never one dimensional. Each book has evolving plots that surprises me each time. I always gravitate to each new series.
With that being said, Vi was a completely different from what I expected. Even though she may have had some money in her pocket like her B-fries, she is now in a position where she has to stand on her own. Of course she meets some guys in the book. Andre mostly. He blew my mind. I did not like him as much as Dahlia's man. However he thru me for a loop. Andre does whaaaa?
Vi started to Whaaaa?  She goes to Dubai and whaaat?

Okay, enough with the what's. I was lost when the book ended. The word cliffhanger does not explain how lost it left me. It might was well said To Be Conti....

I need more of Vi. Expectations are high and I know Vivian will meet them. There are many things left to be told. I can't wait to read more.

Of course, I give it a 5!

Will Dahlia be able to right the wrong and allow herself to love again?
 
 
REVIEW: Have I told you how much I enjoy Vivian's Series? Well, just in case you have missed my posts from before, here is the review for Black and Red Dahlia.
 
 
Each Trilogy I have read by Vivian Winslow has been hot, sexy, wild, and a crazy train ride to euphoria. Her books are always on my must read list. I was excited to read about Dahlia. Loved her sister and her story. However I was enraptured with Dahlia and all the pain and love from her past.
 
Black Dahlia starts off with the known tragedy that happened at the end of Blue Dahlia. As a reader, I felt a little defeated for her. Finding herself with information that will forever change her life. With each turn of the page, there is a new character. Kai was made to be in the Black Dahlia. He turned it around and loved him.
 
I read these books within a day. When one ends, I scream "WHAT!" and move on to the next book. Beginning with Red Dahlia, I wanted to impale her mother. How awful can a person be! You will find out. Now with the future that has changed everything she was before, it was time for Dahlia to transition into the person she needed to become.
 
Completely surprised by the ending. It was abrupt, but I think the end of the story is what makes the start of Wild Violet so much better.
 
For the Dahlia Trilogy, it is a 5. Never disappointed.
 
 
Now onto the story of Vi in the Wild Violet. Available 1/13. Read all about it on Tuesday! It is another book I could not put down!

My Review:

 

When I started reading this book, I was a little lost. So many things were going on, with all separate characters. Two stories that are completely different. I favored one of the main characters over the other. However without both, the story would not be complete. I knew there was more to Kristy than the first impression I read of her. She was the Pandora Box that evolved till the end.


I loved Kai. If you read, you will understand why I say so little. Perfection.

Of course there is Julia. She does not have a huge roll. But when she is there, she brings color to a black and white page. You have to love the fabulous best friend.

Overall, I liked the story. It threw me for a loop. It was an epiphany with a WTF last paragraph in the Epilogue. That last page has lingered in my brain with the what if’s.

I guess that tells you right there if a book is worth the read.

Rating it a 4.2 out of 5.
