Review: Write Me For You - Tillie Cole - July 2025 I've learned to strategically plan my Tillie Cole reading sessions. This book? It required the fortress of my bedroom, door closed, tissues within reach. Because while I'm not typically a crier when it comes to books, Cole has this uncanny ability to crack open my chest and reach straight for my heart. Twice in this story, I found myself with tears streaming down my face—not delicate, single-tear moments, but full waterworks.

  Review: A Veil of Vines - Tillie Cole - November 2016 Even though in today's society, a lot of the royal titles have been disestablished there are those in that circle - the upper class who still respect that royalty must marry royalty and that there is a high standard for breeding. One with a title before their name must never marry a commoner or someone beneath them. The royal world is also still the world where often arranged marriages are organized to preserve bloodlines and businesses working well together. Caresa Arcadia is a Duchess, and when she was little she imagined marrying a prince she loved, instead she is being told to marry Prince Zeno. Their families are in the wine business together, and now with Zeno's father passing, he has to stand up to the mark which includes putting aside his playboy ways, marrying the Duchess and taking over the wine business. The thing is that he doesn't love Caresa or the behind the scenes of the ...
