Arianne RichmondeRezensionen

This story enraptured me within the first 15 pages and thats no lie. it truly takes alot for me to truly fall in love with a story and become obsessed and this one does it. There will be times you will love Pearl and times you want to throttle her but in the end you want her to find her Prince Charming and she truly does or does she?? Alexandre is sexy, sophisticated, accomplished, young and a Sex God but can he truly fall in love with a woman who has experienced more years on this planet then he has. Who in the end is the Teacher and who is the "awakened" student?? I truly relate to Pearl's insecurities as a woman trying to define herself in this society which is always glorifying the perfect, young and fit. yes I am only 29 but trust mee when i say insecurities for perfection come at any age, and yes, the love scenes were hot but did make me laugh at times because it was outrageous but thats the fun part. No matter what you get out of this story it will leave you breathless and wanting more. A great emotional ride. You will not be disappointed!!

This book was an AMAZING read for me. It started off where Shades of Pearl left off. The book grabbed me right from the start and I did not want to put it down. I personally love Arianne's writing style. I think she did an excellent job with these characters and the story line was VERY original. As you can see from my opening sentence, this book made me feel so many emotions, and even though the H & h did things that made me want to beat them, I was still totally engrossed in the story.

This is the last in the trilogy and I was lucky enough to jump right into this one after finishing up the second book. I couldnt get started on it fast enough! I needed to know what the hell happens. I mean after that cliffhanger how could I wait to read!? lol

Okay so in this one we learn a lot of info. Things that make you go..."OHHHH okay now that makes sense!" for example she explains the reason for the names of the "cookie" and why she used them. Then there are moments that I was so sure things were going to go a complete different direction because at this point I trusted NO ONE! haha I was even talking to my iPad as I read. Telling Pearl "Don't do it" or "Don't say it". You would think that I was insane walking around with my iPad talking to myself.

There are things that just make you want to hate Alexandre, but it is just so difficult to stay upset with him. You just want to take him out of the book and marry him yourself. (could you imagine, I would have a house full of men if that were possible).

I do absolutely LOVE the fact that we get a few parts in this one from his point of view. Because I was wondering what was going through his head a lot of the time. This one was a good ending although what ended up happening I felt like it was a little abrupt and I don't know...just kind of felt like it could have taken a different direction then the one that it took. BUT it got the job done I guess.

If I had to try and explain any negativity with in the book the only thing I can think of is that in this one it would that it felt as if it were a bit rushed towards the ending. I did like it and there was hotness for sure. So over all...it was a good trilogy, with the second book being my absolute favorite! I usually never am in total love with the last book in a trilogy but maybe that is in part because that means that it is done. :(

there are two books that are written in His point of view but I think I loved this so much that I don't want to ruin it .

In The Wife’s House we meet a woman who has recently been widowed, before her husband died he bought her a dream house which was a house built in the side of a cliff in Big Sur and made of glass. Strange things start happening to her, a drone hovering near her, watching her. Notes, texts it was getting quite surreal for her. Who is sending these messages and who is spying on her? Do they know her secrets?
I thought this was a good book, the world building was fantastic, I could imagine everything from the house to the beach and town very well and the picture in my mind made it all so beautiful.
The first half of the book was character and world building and it was very slow to get started but once we got past that it was a complete rollercoaster.
I found myself suspicious of everyone and not knowing how the book was going to end, I was on the edge of my seat.
The ending, BOOM I was not expecting that! I am so glad I stuck with it because it ended up surpassing my expectations. It was brilliant.

The Newlyweds is a psychological thriller like nothing I have experienced before, with lies and deception and a few huge plot twists too. Just when I thought I knew where this story was going... PLOT TWIST, I really couldn’t guess what was going to happen next. I was enthralled from early on and could not put it down!
Vivian was the main character, the newly wedded wife; I felt for her early on, when I thought I knew what was going on. Her husband Ashton, well I didn’t like him to start with then I felt for him. By the very end, I didn’t like either of them. It really is a case of not all is as it seems. That is all I am going to say, apart from...you really need to read this.
Arianne Richmonde wrote this book exceptionally well, making the reader left aghast at every twist.

The Newlyweds puzzles me. Like, a lot.

I picked it on Netgalley, intrigued by the synopsis: a good old psychological drama, two newlyweds (hence the title) hiding things from each other; pretty straightforward yet interesting enough to make me anticipate some plot twists.

It delivered, in a way, but – puzzled, as I said. Stay with me for a moment here.

A rollercoaster ride of a wonderful psychological thriller.............

The Guilty Sister by Arianne Richmonde, a psychological thriller with a mind blowing plot. The book is unputdownable and I was seriously hooked right from the beginning. You would not be able to guess the climax to the end which is a cherry on the top. Each and every page has a new twist which is really interesting. A perfect book for beginners who love psychological thrillers.

I would give 5 stars to the book for its climax, cover and plot. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me an opportunity to review the book.

The Guilty Sister by Arianne Richmonde is a highly recommended psychological thriller. (Previously titled One Happy Family.)

Sara is a graphic artist living in NYC who enjoys taking long walks with her rescue dog Poppy - with Poppy in her dog wheelchair. Bradley sees Sara and Poppy walking through Central Park, is immediately intrigued, and sets out to meet her. Sara, who is reserved, is slow to warm to Bradley's attentions but eventually she accepts an invitation to dinner at his resident, a luxurious penthouse. Sara finds it hard to accept that this successful, wealthy, handsome man finds her interesting and attractive.

Part of this is due in part to Sara's insecurity. Her identical twin Cecelia is the outgoing free spirit who lives in Thailand, and is an Instagram influencer who has pictures of her life plastered across social media. She can get any man she wants. Sara has kept her at a distance for years, but Cecelia claims she wants to come visit. Sara simply can't allow this to happen or Cecelia will steal her boyfriend Bradley, just has she has done before. Sara hasn't told Bradley about Cecelis, but he finds out when they are having dinner at her Aunt Jenny's house and Sara has to admit to him that she has a twin. And now it seems that Bradley is looking at Cecelia's pictures online.

There are plenty of secrets in this novel and everyone is keeping information from everyone else. We know from the opening that the police are interviewing Sara about the disappearance of Cecelia, and the novel follows the story along to where Sara gets to this point. The plot moves at a steady pace as the story unfolds and secrets are exposed. For awhile there will be a wide variety of speculations about what the secrets are and who may have done what. Some of the secrets, as they are exposed, are surprising while others can be surmised from information presented.

Sara is a peculiar character in some ways. She is likable in many ways. She doesn't worry about appearances, loves her dog, enjoys her work, and seemingly keeps a positive attitude. On the other hand we are privy to her inner thought and something always seems just a little bit off. She loves her sister but doesn't want her anywhere near her. Part of this feeling is purposefully written into the novel to keep you guessing and wondering.

Talk about a bunch of messed up people! Richmonde nails this psychological thriller with varying points of view, some mental instability and an ever changing plot to boot. You’ll know that something isn’t quite as it seems, but you’ll have no idea to what extent! Well done, Richmonde, I’m so glad this isn’t my ‘happy family’!

The Newlyweds
By Arianne Richmond

This is my first book by Arianne , and 1000% NOT MY LAST.

This book was provided to me from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is starts with the wedding of Vivien and Ashton. Ashton is a wealthy neurosurgeon and Vivien has tailored her life to fit into Ashton’s world. They have the perfect marriage… or do they? Vivien and Ashton have a long-time relationship, except, only one of them knows it. Secrets are around every corner. But they are buried deeper than anyone knows. This is definitely a “till the end” kind of story. This book is set in Beaufort South Carolina and is very descriptive. I was impressed with this story, and would recommend it. Thank you NetGalley, Arianne Richmonde and Bookouture.

Wow I loved this book! I haven't read any other books by this author but I shall be doing so now. Eek I love discovering new authors!
The blurb reads 'The moment my husband showed me Cliffside—a sleek and modern glass home perched on the edge of the jagged Big Sur clifftops—I fell in love. And right there and then I made a pact with myself. I am never leaving this house.
But when my husband was killed on the perilous roads leading up to the house, weeks after we moved in, I had a decision to make—leave the home I love and start a new life or stay and shut myself off from the world? I am never leaving this house.
The plot was great and well written, with plenty of twists and surprises. An atmospheric book which makes you feel the paranoia experienced by 'the wife' throughout the book. 5 stars, if you know someone who loves mysteries this would make an awesome Christmas gift.
Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture and Arianne Richmonde for giving me the opportunity to read The Wfe's House.

Juan shows his wife a house on cliff overlooking the beach. She falls in love with it immediately. He buys it for her, then he suddenly dies. Now, a widow, she is all alone in her big house on the cliff. The house is made of glass and stone. No curtains. Then she starts to get messages, I AM WATCHING YOU.
Now she has befriended a set of (adult) triplets. They invade what little privacy she has in a house made of glass. She lies to them, they lie to her. This is really 3 books in one, an adult fiction, a thriller and then a action. The adult fiction part, the first probably half of the book is about the main character’s love for her husband, love for her house and her insecurities. Then ¾ of the way through is the thriller. And finally the last quarter is the action. Nature takes its toll on the area.
This wasn’t a bad book, I just felt like I needed something MORE within the first half.

I am not going to go into detail over the premise of these books, nor am I going to go into detail over the plot. You will have to read these books on your own to get the big picture. Now this trilogy is similar to Fifty Shades in many ways and in many ways it stands out on its own. Like Fifty Shades, you have to read all three books to truly enjoy the story. The plot is similar and dissimilar. Rich guy meets girl who intrigues him.... Well that's where the difference begins. First off, Pearl is 40. By definition, she is a cougar. A cougar that falls for the ever-so-rich Alexandre. If you are looking for steamy sex, it's right here. If you are looking for shock and awe, it is right here. If you are looking for drama and deep seeded pasts, again right here. You are probably wondering why I gave this trilogy an overall 3.75. Well, honestly, I wasn't enthralled. I had to come back to these books a few times. They didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. The story, overall, is very good. I just wasn't hooked with this trilogy. Others may feel differently than I do. This story didn't quite do it for me. I can respect the talent and imagination it takes to make the story and the back story to unfold, therefore, I had to rate and write this review as an overall, rather than one by one.

Arianne Richmonde can write a book.
The only reason I am not going to give this five stars is because it sucked me in like real deep and at the end when things were really really hot..It went splat and I was left hanging in a lurch. I would love to read some stories that are longer by this author because I think she has found her calling for real!

Picked up this from a Goodreads list and how glad am I that i did!

Pearl is an experience woman with secrets, Alexandre is a wealthy 25 year old who falls for this older lady hook, line and sinker!

There are many twists and turns and a cliffhanger to finish but fortunately the whole series has been published so I just 1-clicked the next, and then the next!

If you liked 50 Shades then in all honesty don't expect to find Pearl tied and spanked, Alexandre isn't that type of character, but they are both strong characters and even thought there isn't totally in the 50 shades et al genre its definitely a hot read!

This is the story from Alexandre's point of view. He falls for Pearl on sight but she plays a little hard to get even tho she too have fallen under the charms of this younger guy with a kind heart.

I really enjoyed the first 3 books were good and I've really enjoyed Alexandre's POV, he's just a charmer with his own fair share of issues but he's fiercely loyal to his family but won't allow them to interfere with his future with Pearl and the gorgeous Rex :)

Loved it but so many things i need further investigation for example... Daisy and the surfer, Sophie and her relationship with Alessandra, Elodie....now what's going on there I think she needs a hug and guidance big time.

Arianne Richmonde I've loved this series and thank you for them now I must go I have part 2 of Alex's POV to read! :)

Pearl is an experience woman with secrets, Alexandre is a wealthy 25 year old who falls for this older lady hook, line and sinker! Laura gets her comeuppance and rightly so and now I quite like Sophie! You'll fall harder for Alexandre because he does love Pearl and he wants to be hers and he wants her in every way! Alexandre just gets kinder but Pearl hurts him big time and I feel he needs a hug, I'd oblige :)

This is the final book in the trilogy according to Pearl, I'm looking forward to reading the world according to Alexandre, I hope we find out more about his sister and Elodie.

If you liked 50 Shades then in all honesty don't expect to find Pearl tied and spanked, Alexandre isn't that type of character, but they are both strong characters and even thought there isn't totally in the 50 shades et al genre its definitely a hot read!

Well I'd read the other four books in the series so in order to finish the series I started to read Belle Pearl! OMG I am so glad I did, I had several queries from earlier books, like what was going on with Elodie... this query was answered.

Actually this book carries on beyond book 3 so you find out what happens going onwards.

Be prepared for a shocker in this book, I did get a bit worried!

If you've read the other's then please do read book 5 its good :)
