#Book #Review ~ Be Your Everything by Catherine Bybee ~ #Romance #Montlake #MontlakeRomance



From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes a romance about childhood friends who marry in Vegas and embark on a wild ride to find their happily ever after.

About Be Your Everything:

With two protective older brothers and a traditional Catholic Italian mother, it’s surprising that Chloe D’Angelo can manage a date without someone in the family naysaying her romantic choice. And Dante Mancuso…oh, no. Her brother’s best friend is not a dating-app right swipe.

But when they are left unsupervised on a late night in Vegas, all of that changes. Add in a Vegas wedding chapel and a couple of “I dos” and Chloe wakes up with a ring on her finger and a hangover. Dating Dante was always a secret desire, but marriage? The rift that this news would cause in her family has both of them keeping their nuptials to themselves as they scramble to undo their Vegas mistake.

Dante knew the rules: Chloe was off-limits. Only, he can’t stop once his mind starts to believe she might be his forever. Just as their attraction deepens, Chloe flees to Bali, desperate to clear her head.

All Dante has to do is keep her brothers from killing him and convince Chloe that they are meant for each other. But first, Dante has to find her.


My Review:

I loved Be Your Everything by Catherine Bybee. It' a tale of girl pines after her brother's best friend. He doesn't give her the time of day....until one day he does. 

Chloe D'Angelo has been crushing on Dante Mancuso since she realized boys weren't gross. When her brother Luca and his fiance' Brooke plan bachelor and bachelorette parties in Vegas, all Chloe wants to do is wow Dante, give him a visual taste of what he's missing out on. 

Dante is back in the states for awhile to attend Luca's bachelor party and wedding the following weekend. When Chloe shows up at the restaurant where both parties are meeting, it's all he can do keep his hands and eyes off of her. She's his best friend's sister, and complete off limits. That is, until they both drink a bit too much and find out the next morning they got hitched.

Now we have two characters who want each other, but the neither knows, who get married, and who, when they realize it the next morning, want completely different outcomes. 

Dante hopes he can convince Chloe they belong together before her brothers catch him.

Be Your Everything is fabulously written. I enjoyed the characters, the setting, the plot, and the author's writing style. I was drawn in my the synopsis but the author did an excellent job reeling me in and keeping me engaged in the story. This is the first book I've read by Catherine Bybee and it definitely won't be my last. 

I was provided a copy of this book to read.
