***13 Authors put their brains together to write ONE story***
Verity Michaels is new to New York City, but even she knows riding in a stolen a cab is not a normal way to meet someone. Damn it if that tattoo-covered would-be felon isn’t everywhere now, and lighting everything on fire under her skirt.
His name is Hudson Fenn, and he’s frustratingly impossible to pin down. He works as a bike messenger, but has the manners of a prince—along with a strange tendency toward breaking and entering. As much as Verity knows he’s not her type, and likely to land her in jail, she can’t help but find her truest self when they’re together.
Can she be brave enough to give Hudson a real chance? Will he be bold enough to reveal the man beneath the ink, or will his secrecy doom their connection? Also, WTF is the deal with Verity’s boss? No less than thirteen of your favorite romance writers have teamed up to tell this sexy, wacky, snort-inducing tale. With them you’ll visit the world’s most irritating office, a VIP room of questionable cleanliness, and the fanciest apartment a bike messenger has ever inhabited, but you’ll still never see this ending coming.
I absolutely LOVED the idea of Felony Ever After! Thirteen authors collaborating on ONE story – I was really excited to see how it would all work out. While I found the story fun but way over the top, the actual execution of it by all the authors more than impressed me. Despite the slightly different writing styles, I nearly couldn’t tell that each chapter was written by someone else, the story moved so smoothly. I would definitely read another book like this!
Verity Michaels gave up her failed dream job as a photographer and moved to NYC to work an office job with a perverted boss. On her way home one day, a gorgeous tattooed man jumps into a cab with her, offering to split the ride, but soon enough ends up hijacking the taxi and bringing Verity home. Is he a felon or a white knight?
“You’re a total criminal, aren’t you?” she asked, but to her surprise, she was grinning ear to ear.
He shook his head. “Have I stolen your heart yet?”
That stopped her cold. She blinked several times. “What?”
“Don’t answer,” he whispered. “I won’t take it until you give it freely.”
Hudson Fenn is more than just his tattoos and his job as a bike messenger, and he’s determined to show Verity that he’s perfect for her. Hudson is sweet, sexy, and hilarious – but he’s still keeping secrets that Verity is dying to know. He’s a bike messenger by day, but what does he get up to at night?
Felony Ever After is over-the-top hilarity. I laughed so much during this book – it truly is a fun read, even if I didn’t completely love it. The story kind of glosses over things, never really delving into the plot, but it’s a quick, entertaining read. Each author writes one or two chapters at a time, and you really can’t tell that much whenever it switches authors. If you’re a fan of any of the authors of this unique anthology, I recommend you give this book a try, if only to experience this kind of collaboration!

Great review. Thank you.
Thank you!
This looks like an excellent novel. I would like to read it because it is about starting life over on the outside.
Hope you enjoy it if you read it! 🙂
I’m not normally an Anthology girl, but this one has some great writer attached to it. I’m hoping it’s good.
Same here! I love a few of these authors so I had to read it! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Thank you for the review 🙂
You’re welcome! ❤
Great review!
Thank you!
This book is most definitely not my type of book, BUT… Just because of what this is I really want to at least try it. This many authors collaborating on a single story, and making it work, is a pretty impressive feat.
The fact that so many authors collaborated was the selling point for me! You should give this book a try just to experience how it all works out! 🙂
Awesome review! I haven’t come across many novels done by multiple authors but 13?!? Thats a little crazy but still has me so anxious to read! The story itself sounds like one I’d really enjoy; romance, bad boy with a heart of gold?, humour and drama so I really can’t wait to read!
Thanks so much! Yep, 13! 🙂 I think you might just enjoy it – happy reading if you do!
sounds interesting!
🙂
Thanks for the review! =)
You’re welcome!!
