6 Rainbow stars! This book was absolutely everything I love. The secrets, drama, tragic back story and angst! I could not put it down, but I didn’t want to end! I loved Scott and Sydney so much, the push and pull, resisting the chemistry and the eventual explosion when they finally gave in. What a fantastic book. I already want to read it again!

When Sydney is asked by her boss Frank to marry his son and to take his place as CEO when he dies, she is stumped at first. But she wants the job and remembering the son, Scott, from over a decade ago she understands his reasoning. Frank is terminally ill and doesn't want his son to know.
Sydney thinks Scott has agreed to save his inheritance and Scott thinks Sydney just wants the job, but both are wrong.

At first Scott tries to outsmart Sydney when she stays at his place in Wyoming, but rather soon his feelings change. Sydney has a past that makes her want a real relationship, happiness and family and so, when things with Scott change, she is happy to go with it. But Scott doesn't know about his father; will this sabotage their relationship?

I love the writing of this author. There is real struggle and background. I must say, I hated the conflict between Sydney and Scott. I had not expected this from Scott. But this author writes about real people who make real mistakes. So there.

One thing: I really did not like the role Scott's family played. I don't want to give any spoilers, but ungrateful lot, those people!

Paola, Paola, Paola...oh how you slay me. Every. Single. Time. The queen of slow burn continues her reign with You Can Have Manhattan. I loved this book so much that I’m at a loss for words. All I know is that without a doubt, Dangelico delivers some of my favorite stories ever with every book she releases. I was instantly drawn in by the marriage of convenience and then the torturous slow burn (which is my absolute fav) sets in leading me to not being able to put this book down. I so wanted to hate Scott, but I couldn’t because he absolutely owned who he was. And Sydney?! The perfect heroine. Her strength in the face of not only her past struggles, but the struggles she goes through with Scott had me rooting for her so hard...had me rooting for these two so hard. I just love the worlds and characters that Dangelico so thoroughly builds. I continuously get sucked in and this story was no different. It has everything I love, the perfect balance of angst, humor and steam. This is an absolute must read. Excuse me while I go wait (impatiently) for Paola’s next release.

This is Sydney and Scott book, Sydney is no stranger to hard work, she’s always worked hard her whole life. Now with no family or friends it’s been easy for her to pour everything she has into her career. She doesn’t need anything else she just has her career that’s it! Until her boss offers her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! All she has to do to get this opportunity is to marry her bosses good for nothing son! Scott used to be a party whore or better yet a party animal LOL he hasn’t been that guy in a long long time though not since moving to Wyoming and building up a failing cattle ranch that he’s turned into a profitable business! Everything in his life is going good until a phone call from his father threatens his quiet simple life that he’s built! Get married or lose everything! Scott’s definitely not going to go down without a fight! I was pleasantly surprised on how good this book was! It was a very interesting read! It was funny it was tender, sweet, hot hot hot, and the storyline flowed seamlessly!! I really enjoyed reading this one!! And the author threw in one of my good friends sons band in the book!! I thought that was soooo cool!! I’ve seen his band play he’s awesome!! Thank you P. Dangelico for an amazing read! And thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!! Definitely don’t miss out on this one!

Enemies to lovers cowboy romance, and one of my favourite reads by P Dangelico (and that says something, because looking back, all the books I’ve read by her have been 5 star reads for me). I absolutely loved reading Sydney and Scott’s story. Blackmailed into marriage (in the nicest possible way), Sydney and Scott agree to stay married for 3 years. It’s a win win for both parties. No matter that they hate each other, after all it has been 10 years since they last saw each other, and do you know what? They’ve both changed, and yes, you’ve guessed it, they discover they’re very much attracted to each other. This marriage thing is working out great, and the chemistry is off the charts. There’s just the little problem of that secret, the one you pray doesn’t get blown out of all proportion. Fantastic characters, all of them, including the dogs, lots of emotions, happy and sad. I did shed a few tears, and even when I was disliking Scott and his decisions at times, I was still loving him. A wonderful story beautifully written in dual POV. I was addicted from the very first page. I receive an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

You Can Have Manhattan. Having read this book the title now makes me swoon. P. Dangelico had me with that gorgeous cover but I was a greedy, grabby hands fiend once I read the first chapter in her newsletter! She writes gold. I swear it. You Can Have Manhattan has the feels oozing from the pages. I couldn't hold back the tears, the lump in my throat, or my undeniable crush on our hero, the jackass. Even clowns couldn't stop it! (Snickers uncontrollably)

A promise made difficult by love and loyalty. P. Dangelico plays to every emotion you have. She will twist and turn you until you are wrung out and begging. You Can Have Manhattan is everything I wished for. Including my happily ever after!
