Captivating Bella Matthews

Oh, every time Bella Matthews puts the proverbial pen to paper (or however her process), and whispers of release dates dance across TikTok or Facebook or Instagram, my finger is on the pre-order button. Captivating, the 4th installment of the Red Lips and White Lies series, made me delightedly thrilled to have clicked that orange button. Both of our MC characters come from the well established Kroydon Hills families, Liliah’ the daughter of Natalie and Brady Ryan part of the of NFL dynasty. Lilah Ryan chose music at a young age and became a global superstar, a pop princess over the sweet image and happily ever after lyrics. Not feeling any of it and certainly not sure she believes in love anymore, she heads home. Lilia’s stalkers have been downplayed by some of her team but, her family and label insist on more. After ditching or refusing every other, she is finally pushed together with childhood frienemie, Killian St James. Killian St James, a MMA champion (son of Cade and Scarlet Kingston) agrees to be a fake boyfriend and bodyguard for the highly unamused Lilah. Ok, caught up? This can be a total standalone, (purist that I am cringes at the thought) and I fell *HARD* for this book. The spice is so well placed in the story, hot and a perfect foil to the rest of the book. The plot is sweet, sexy and keeps pulling you in. I love the characters…perfect! Read it, don’t miss it.
