I always like to read Vi Keeland books, but this one, my God this one is now my fav from her. All the laughing, feeling, crying also. You can't read this book and not feel what they feel. This is a must read and my first big love of this year reading ! Thanks for this pearl !

WOW.

It was my first time with a book by Vi Keeland, and I certainly will grab another book. I loved the structure of the story--the slow-building, -burning, steamy relationship--and the different messages that are conveyed by the author. I've fallen in love with Stella and Hudson together. They're so well fleshed out, with quirks all over the place, which will definitely force some tears out of you while laughing, and will, eventually, wrench your heart. I've loved every single page of that book. Thank you Vi !

A must read!

I have read all Vi Keeland books and always enjoy them immensely. This one though... I loved it! It’s fun, it’s sexy and so charming and wise. No superfluous drama, real and sound sentiments.

The only disappointment I had was that it ended!

3.5 stars rounded up

Sweet, funny, interesting, romantic, I couldn’t put The Invitation down!

Stella and Hudson first meeting doesn’t exactly go down smoothly but is definitely unforgettable.
Stella is quirky, intelligent and seriously funny.
To be honest while I loved Stella straight away, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Hudson but he definitely stole my heart!

Vi Keeland’s character development and writing style kept me wanting more. I truly couldn't get enough of this book. She has a way of drawing the reader in and keeping them there until the final word. Definitely one of my favourite Vi Keeland books.

“That wasn’t an ending, sweetheart. It was only our beginning. Because a true love story like ours never ends.”

Chance meetings and truth from lies

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 31 janvier 2021

A truly romantic , sensational story. Hudson and Stella meet, at Hudson’s sister wedding Olivia. Stella gate crashes it with her friend Fisher, following an email invitation opened in error but carried out as a result of payment. The storyline flows well. Is exceptionally written. Very difficult to stop once started. The characters are so warm and real. Tormented by passed experiences, they both have trust and relationship issues. Both have been crossed by devious characters resulting in such outcomes. Friendships are not all what they seem. Some are real, some are not. Charlie is a precious treasure, who character is so cute. Again Vi has written a wonderful story that is both believable, delightful and extremely absorbing. It leads the reader to escape with the wonder of words into a fantastic world and a fabulous HEA is the reward for the reader. Unfortunately I can only give five stars but this story is worth many more for its original content alone. The invitation is a stand alone, but there are characters in there that would be wonderful if the were to be elaborated on, but then again the reader can make their own stories to suit them.

A heart-warming romance that has definitely made it into my favourites pile!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 22 janvier 2021

This book. This book made me feel like a hopeless romantic – it was sweet and funny and had inherently likable leading characters in Hudson and Stella. I read this beauty in one sitting and was so sad when it finished – it made my heart smile.

Things kick off at a lavish wedding where Stella, our beautiful wedding crasher meets Hudson, the gorgeous brother of the bride. Their relationship is so quirky and endearing, they're funny and adorable, they push each other’s buttons and the chemistry is palpable. The nice thing is that even during the early stages of their relationship when Hudson is a bit of a jerk it's still cute and amusing and they consistently gave off soul mate vibes (told you: hopeless romantic right here).

However, when the supporting cast are all so appealing and nice (Olivia, Mason and Fisher I'm looking at you) there has to be someone in the frame to play the villain and that was the kicker in this story. I thought I knew who was in the wrong but the depth of deception was cruel and close to home on both counts. I really thought I'd predicted all of the twists and turns, the "coincidences" and hints but Vi dropped a bomb on me. She did me wrong to the point I screamed at my kindle and cried a bit for Hudson (s'okay I've forgiven her now!) But the way she made it up to the reader was beautiful.

This story teaches you that family doesn't necessarily always mean blood, that soul mates can exist, that what might appear as coincidence can sometimes be fate and that revenge isn't necessary when you have love and happiness. This book was heart-warming and I'm sure will remain in my reread pile for years to come.

Predictable and cheesy!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 8 mars 2021

These characters are so perfectly nice it was a bit sickening to read. Saccharine sweet, not really for me. I prefer characters with a bit of grit. I think the author must have made a tick list of politically correct characteristics and added each one in. This made the story feel very formulaic, even though the author is a good writer, this book felt like she had fun out of inspiration. I wouldn't recommend this book.
