Review: Heist - Book #2 Diamond Doms Series - Ivy Nelson - February 2020 I had enjoyed Book #1 which was the introduction of the Sutton Adults - Holly and Patrick Sutton and then Holly's meeting of Eli Barrett who turned out to be her dad – Nicholas Sutton’s competitor and her brother's business partner and also Eli and her brother had a side career at Club Solitaire as Dom’s. I found Book #1 easy to read and I loved the character of Holly. As I enjoyed Book #1 Blood, I was looking forward to Book #2 and with a title - Heist. I thought this was going to be just as good or even better. However, for me this one I struggled with as it took me in increments over three days to read which is slow for me but I got about 57% through the book, so I decided to persevere rather than give up.

Book #2 tells the story of Patrick Sutton and Austin Yates.  There has be...

Review: Blood - Book #1 Diamond Doms - Ivy Nelson - January 2020 I have to say I enjoyed the first book of this series more than I thought I would. I was attracted to the series by the titles and with this one Blood + Diamond Doms = Blood Diamonds in my mind and I did love the Leonardo DiCaprio movie. In this book, we meet Holly Sutton whose father owns a big Diamond business and on the other side, we have her brother Patrick Sutton and Elijah Barnett. They are her dad's competitors and also they do things the legal way whereas Nicholas Sutton and his team are dirty as dogs except they have kept Holly in the dark by not giving her responsibilities in case she caught on. When Patrick offers Holly a way to break free of her dad and work for a company she admires, she jumps at the chance and imagines her surprise when the famous Elijah Barnett is the same Eli who promised to call her three months ago but didn't. Now Eli is in a bind as he has strong feelings for Holly but he didn...
