Coren (Remnants of Betrayal Book 1)

And I'm willing to adapt if Nox is sexy,confident,bossy,smart,dominant and mysterious. He knows exactly what he wants! I was intrigued by him from the first moment he spoke to Alexandria-Charli. Alexandria knows what she wants and I like her a lot for this! There is such an intense chemistry between Alexandria and him, I loved them. I am anxiously waiting about the next book and I'm super excited to see how the story will continue!!

If you are a fan of Aleatha I'm sure you will love it! And if you are one like me who haven't read a book of her before it's time to read a book from this brilliant author!

The story begins with us meeting Alexandria Collins while she is on vacation with her best friend. She has just graduated from Stanford and is taking a break before starting Columbia Law.

Alexandria is the epitome of a Southern Bell. Her family still owns a Manor in Savannah, but while away she has developed into her own pe I love when a book surprises me and Betrayal did just that. Her family still owns a Manor in Savannah, but while away she has developed into her own person: Alex is driven, controlled and motivated to do more. While on vacation with her bestie she decides for one week to be Charli.

Charli is a spirited, impulsive and fun. During this week Charli meets Nox. Nox is successful, handsome and charismatic. Together they decide to spend the week together, but just one week, no last names and no further commitments. She was to attend school, but only to find a husband worthy of the Montague title. Once she found her mate they were to come back to Savannah and start a family. The only problem, Alex has goals of her own. Her family has a different plan for her and she has decide what to do and where to go from here. Betrayal is only the first book in the Infidelity Series and ends with a cliffhanger.

The only thing I can tell you is things are always more than what they seem. This story is completely addictive and I am already in love with these characters. I feel like a complete insta-love whore, but I feel like I know them already. As you can tell I am hooked and I am just dying to know what happens next and where things will go.

This is my first story by Aleatha and now I just want to go back and read her others! ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review. View all 21 comments. Oct 16, warhawke rated it really liked it Shelves: Book 1 of 5 from Infidelity series POV: First Person - Female Rating: Alexandria Collins was born and bred in a high society of Savannah, Georgia.

Bogged down by her family name and suffocated by their control, she reinvented herself as Alex. A holiday with her best friend pushed her more outside her comfort zone as she spent the week as Charli — someone carefree with no pasts. Lennox Demetri was a successful businessman on a working holiday. He knew what he wanted Genre: He knew what he wanted and how to get it and he wanted Charli in his bed.

They made a pact of a weeklong no-strings attached escape from real life without thinking of possible repercussion in the future. I have been a fan of Aleatha Romig since I first read the Consequences series. The way his gray suit fit perfectly in all the right places tightened parts of my insides while melting others. Nox was definitely a swoon worthy hero. I rarely fall for the rich older hero, but he made me want to clean up my act and seduce him haha! I like how he was mysterious and commanding without being pushy.

And I loved him for it. She had unwilling obligations to fulfill while trying not to lose herself in the process. I really like them together. The anonymous tryst added the forbidden quality to their relationship. One of my favorite scene was the gas station scene because they both explored a different side of themselves. However, there were parts in the book that felt a tad too long.

The intriguingly sexy story will make you hunger for more. View all 44 comments. Sep 25, Elizabeth rated it really liked it Shelves: Happiness in another person wasn't real. All people did was betray one another: Aleatha Romig doesn't disappoint with her stellar writing rich with complex characters and sexy overtones.

I find myself enraptured every single time I read one of her books.

Upcoming Events

Alexandria Collins comes from southern money and the world of old school charm. Her mother and stepfather ooze power an "Stupid, naive people. Her mother and stepfather ooze power and prestige and feel that they have ownership of Alex. However, Alex is determined to become something great and she is able to escape the prison of that world when she moves to California for college. After graduation, she takes a quick trip with her best friend and she meets Nox. There is an instant attraction between the two.

Alex is hesitant to reveal her identity and therefore they decide to have one week of fun together. After a week of courting and some intense exploration of each other's bodies, they part without ever revealing their true identities. For was seemed like an eternity, we lost ourselves in one another. She is immediately transported to a world that has only brought her pain.

She is determined to escape and return to her freedom. However, when she discovers her inheritance has been put in jeopardy, she feels her future slipping between her fingers. With the hope of overcoming her adversaries her parents , she moves to New York in order to start Law School and find a way to keep her future secure and put her past behind her forever. However, Nox has left a vacancy in her heart.

Never far from her mind, he constantly lingers like a ghost in her thoughts. Told in first POV, Betrayal shifts from the present and the past. In the past, we experience her love affair with the mysterious and "sexy" Nox. In the future, we experience the horrors of her family and their dysfunctional lifestyle. Although I understood the importance of the time shift, I found myself anxious the majority of the read waiting for the timelines to match. Still, the plot is well developed and the characters are quite intriguing.

I felt that the tempo was generally a little slow for my taste and yet, in true Aleatha fashion, the plot development towards the end of the book left me desperate for more. The chemistry between Nox and Alex is undeniable and I have no doubt the next book will bring even more mystery and intrigue to the plot.

The dynamics between the characters are intense and the setting is rich with description. Anticipation is the name of this game and it's a game I want to play! There is a slight cliffy in this read. Although it is completely bearable, it certainly left me anxious for the next book. If you are a fan of Aleatha's work, this is a must read!

You will not be disappointed with the time you spend with Nox and Alex! View all 23 comments. This is their destiny of course and it is calling them. Alexandria aka Alex aka Charli with an i crossed paths with Lennox aka Nox at an exclusive resort where she was celebrating her graduation with her best friend. For a whole week Charli and Nox lived their dream. They spent their time together; they had dinners, long walks at the beach, tons of sex everywhere from a dirty toilet at a gas station to a luxury bat Alexandria Charles Montague Collins and Lennox Demetri are meant to be together.

They spent their time together; they had dinners, long walks at the beach, tons of sex everywhere from a dirty toilet at a gas station to a luxury bathtub under the candle lights. Nox had realized that Charli is a princess. Her upbringing, her manners were obvious. On the other hand, he did not know who she really was and what her real name was. The same stand for Charli. They had promised to each other not to reveal anything about their pasts or their families. As a result, anything they felt was genuine and it ended rapidly after just a week. Six weeks after her time at the resort, Alex will feel the bitterness of her mother betrayal.

Her high school boyfriend and son of her godmother will be forced to her as a potential husband. Moreover, her stepfather has made the money which were used for her studies disappear and Alex will end up penniless in New York having just enough money for one semester for the postgraduate studies. Alex is determined to succeed and escape her family heritage.

There are dark, dirty secrets about her childhood which are not really exposed in the first book. We only get a glimpse of a few incidents. Alex has learnt how to survive and after the encouragement of her cousin, she will take a life changing decision. Charli and Nox will meet again. Facts about the book: Two points of view mainly by Alex and secondary by Nox Two time periods - Present and six weeks earlier Two main families — Montagues and Demetris Two supportive role families - Fitzgeralds and Spencers I am so excited for this series!

The first book is really promising and the plot twists were excellent. Alex and Nox have great chemistry and there are secrets that I am dying to find out. View all 39 comments. Sep 09, Hulya Kara Yuksel rated it it was amazing.

That last page of the book just blow my mind. I just can't wait to see what's gonna happen next. D I need to read 2nd book right now!!! First of all, let me say this: I am not a fan of writing reviews when it comes to series. I feel like I am attempting to review incomplete work. I find it especially hard to write reviews for the first book in the series because those tend to contain a lot of information crucial to the plot development and, in some cases, that info makes the book appear drawn out.

Let me get the stuff that didn't work for me out of the way first I'll be completely honest, there were parts in this book that seemed repetitive and drawn out [to me]. I felt like I was being told the same stuff over on several occasions. Now the good stuff I felt like the story picked up and the Aleatha I know and love was back in the saddle!

Needless to say, if you are a fan of Aleatha's previous work, you'll enjoy this new series. Romig does and for that I take my hat off to her. To sum it all up Overall, I really enjoyed the first installment! Definitely looking forward to more in the series. ARC received from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Chelsea tries to convince her to let her hair down and have fun and then she meets Nox and decides to do just that. I'm not a big fan of stories told this way because, as always, just when things get good, it switches. And to tell you the truth, I was expecting Shades of Tony I wasn't sure I would like it but oh yes, I do. Nox is all kinds of yummy. My only complaint is we didn't get his POV till a chapter towards the end. The set up is pretty interesting. Alex comes from old southern money She moved to the other coast to go to college for a reason.

But her mother has insisted she come home and that's where all hell breaks loose. Heck, I didn't even want to be in that house. She calls her cousin who only knows all too well what she's going through and sees if she can stay with him for a few days. Now, this is where I felt things were a little over the top.

Her cousin, Patrick, opens up about something he's doing and suggests she tries it and without almost no thinking about it she does! This from a person that does not want any skeletons in her closet All kinds of Shades of Tony! Cunning comes out January 19, so not too long to wait View all 24 comments. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series! I don't think I've ever one-click, pre-ordered so quickly!

The suspense is going to kill me while I wait two more months for the next book to be released. After graduating from Stanford, Alex decides to spend a week with her best friend at a resort, cutting loose before she moves to NYC to begin law school at Columbia. She vows to have a week of fun, the likes of which responsible Alex never allowed herself to have before.

Assuming the name of "Charli", her free-spirited, fun-loving alter-ego, she finds more than she'd bargained for when she falls for the enigmatic Nox. One week of fun was all it was supposed to be. It was what they agreed upon. Alex couldn't have imagined that one week would change her life so drastically.

Shortly after her time with Nox, Alex finds her world being turned upside down again. Summoned to return home by her mother, Alex is plunged back into a world she thought she'd left behind. In no uncertain terms, she's informed that she's expected to marry and continue her family name. Until she does as she's told, she won't have access to her trust fund, or the means to support her lifestyle or pay her tuition. She's allowed to complete her first semester at Columbia, only because it was already paid for.

Arriving in New York City, Alex is desperate.

Her situation leads her to make some decisions that she never would have considered before, even a month prior. Unexpectedly, her past soon collides with her present reality. The book ends with a cliffhanger that will keep me guessing until the next book is released in January I loved this story, but am kicking myself for doing this to myself. I knew I'd have to wait for the next book to be released and that it would kill me.

So, let the waiting begin! View all 14 comments. Smokes and Mirrors Whenever you read an Aleatha Romig book, you should know that things will never be as they seem. Your mind will be taken on a trip and it usually will involve some sort of mind altering madness!! A week where you can be whoever you want, no strings, no commitments, just a week when you can let your hair down and breathe.

A time where you have nothing to fear, a time where you can soar and fly and expe 4. A time where you have nothing to fear, a time where you can soar and fly and experience the things that you have always wanted. A handsome man, Nox, and a beautiful woman, Chari, meet and have one week. In a perfect world, meeting and lusting would be enough. But in the real world, facades make things go round. These two decide that "nicknames" are all that is needed, just one week, to feel and experience the lust and desire they have towards one another.

No past, no future, just living in the moment for one glorious week. But these two have a connection like no other, so will they keep to the one week? She is Miss Alexandria Charles Montague Collins from Savannah, Georgia, a place where traditions and expectations have existed for many years. Men provide and women do everything else, with help of course. It's the South and traditional for how she was raised.

But Alexandria left after High School to prove that she could be whoever she wanted, to be a woman who didn't need a man, to be come Alex Collins. She wants no part of her past, a past that holds many secrets and dark places. But her family has other ideas and has decided that instead of law school, Alexandria needs to come home and become the proper southern lady that they expect.

But Alex has other ideas. She will do whatever it takes, even if it means selling her soul. He's scrumptious and he has a dark side. Besides that glorious week, we get a little of his story. Not a lot but enough that you are on your toes wanting more!!! It sets up book 2 and I cannot wait to read Cunning. So many thoughts and theories but I do know that I shouldn't expect the expected because Aleatha Romig is a master at the unexpected!!! This is a great book to read with a buddy.

Aleatha always makes you question and do theorizing on possibilities. Irene and I had fun with all our theories as to book 2 and to theories about Nox and Charli!!! View all 32 comments. The heroine, in fact, has very strict principles about infidelity and refuses to even entertain an idea of getting involved with a married man. They set the rules to not ask about their lives and to never contact each other after the week is up. Throughout the vacation they develop rather complex feelings for each other but they still follow through on their agreement and part ways severing any connections Except Nox slips in his phone number into Alex's phone.

I have to admit I am intrigued enough to give a second book a shot. Alex comes from money but refuses to be manipulated by her parents into arranged marriage. She pursues her dream of becoming a lawyer and will go to extreme lengths to get what she wants. I pictured him around With that said, there were some really great entertaining scenes that I enjoyed. If you like books with an overall view of all the characters then try this one out, you might like it. I was not paid for my review.

My review is solely my opinion. Apr 07, Carla Latham rated it liked it Recommends it for: I received this book in the Goodreads book giveaway. I enjoyed this book.

Coren (Remnants of Betrayal - Book 1)

The story-line seemed to be similar but not the same as several other books I have read such as the Eragon series. As usual with me, it was a little hard to follow at the beginning but after I had read it for a while I was finally able to follow where the story was taking me.
