“Dante is a Dominant male hero who steals your breath in all the right ways.” —Joey W. Hill
Crowne Rules, an all-new deliciously decadent forced proximity standalone from New York Times bestselling author C.D. Reiss is available now!
What happens when fire and ice are forced into close proximity?
With the paparazzi hot on her heels, Mandy Bettencourt is desperate for somewhere to hide, and her best friend has just the place.
It’s perfect. No Internet. No phone. A deep bathtub she’s soaking in when HE shows up.
Her best friend’s brother, Dante Crowne. Rich as a cardinal sin and handsome enough to piss off the devil. A man with a reputation for unforgettable bedroom games.
Mandy got an early taste of them in high school--for seven minutes in a closet. She can tell you, the rumors are all true.
Dante knows he’s got a reputation for a lot of things, including a love of solitude.
But there’s a beautiful socialite in his bathtub, and the memory of those seven minutes isn’t inspiring him to kick her out.
So he offers her a deal.
If she wants to stay, she has to work.
If she makes a mistake, she’s corrected with pink hand marks on her backside.
That’s the deal.
Beg for it or leave it.
He’s surprised when she gets on her knees, and he’s even more surprised when she likes the punishment.
The most shocking thing, though, is how much he’s starting to like her.
They can’t stay in paradise forever.
Los Angeles awaits.
But an old nemesis sets his sights on tearing them apart, and Dante may be the one left begging.
**Crowne Rules is a complete STANDALONE. You don’t have to read any of the Crowne Brothers books to pick this up, but you might want to once you’re done with Dante.**

REVIEW:
I am not going to lie, Dante irritated me at first. As the story went on and the realization that once you find the right person, giving up some control isn’t so bad. Dante and Mandy have a difficult relationship, which is only slightly there due to their friends and family. A very brief teenage encounter shaped their worlds in ways they never imagined.
Dante has a preconceived notion of who Mandy is, a vapid and vain woman questionable purpose. When Mandy's world comes crashing down very publicly, the Crowne family offers her an escape in the form of their small drama-free, internet-free Cambria cabin, unbeknownst to Dante. She's an unwelcome guest in his life, and he does his best to drive her away.
Mandy is at a loss for what to do in the chaos that's become her life. Reinventing herself is one option, but where would she even begin? Until their forced proximity, she never realized that Dante may just be the person she needs to help guide her into becoming the best version of herself. She's stronger than she thinks, and she gives back as good as she gets.
This couple wades their way through misconceptions, doubt, and preconceived notions, but through acceptance and self-discovery, they both evolve into a better version of themselves. I loved this book, and even though it is a stand alone, you need to read Dante’s brother’s books. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
About CD Reiss
CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
