Review on The Killer Rabbit Hole!
"As I write this review I have the heart pounding ... as you well remember, I talked about the first chapter of the MSA by Chiara Cilli some time ago, if you do not remember the review I will refresh your memory: here is the LINK. I admit that the first chapter, The Forbidden Man , wasn't excited for nothing, a lot of things were a little annoyed, apart from the end really really pretty.
Well ... I can not say the same for this second chapter of the MSA Series; Tempting Offer is worthy story led by the skilled hands of Cilli, is just what I expect from someone like her, that has made my heart beat with Tasting the Fire!
So in this second episode I have refound the Cilli that I loved in the story dedicated to Morwen and Galadir: amazing the spat between Matt and Cris, beautiful panther, always ready with a joke and the fuse constantly on. I do not envy Matt that will have to fight with this arrogant girl (admittedly adorable) who plays with feelings and moods with such skill as to shame the poor Matt.
Finally I have the pleasure to really immerse myself in the world of MSA series, the characters come thickness, Cristina proves for what she is, intelligent, sensual and caustic, irritating but sympathetic and Matt comes out a little more, acquiring three-dimensionality in his jacket signed and in his sexy posture that often takes. He's a man self-confident, smart and stubborn that's probably not used to taking no for XD well, I think Cristina will be that!
In short, I will not mention the chapter for not doing spoilers, I think just the synopsis makes you understand what you are approaching, I would just like to congratulate the writer for Tempting Offer, really a beautiful chapter!
I will continue to read it with pleasure, with the curiosity of a thousand ... hoping that the heart will beating wildly as yet today: good Chiara, Tempting Offer is really a masterpiece of romance!"

Review on La tana di una booklover!
"After reading Addicted To You and being glad (and jumping for joy) for the turning point in the relationship between Matt and Cris, I was expecting a lot from this fourth episode.
But the story between the two protagonists is like a seesaw: there are provocation, chases, passionate kisses, but also suspicion and very (perhaps too) mystery.
In this episode Federico, until now remained a little apart, back to be alive and Cris can not help but think back to her "history" with him.
On the other Matt is increasingly urgent to be accompanied at a gala evening, going as far as to send to Cris a dress with accessories.
On the one hand I was very happy with the fact that Matt was so urgent, because Cris is not convinced and never gives up, and only Matt seems to be able to open a breach in her armor.
On the other hand I did not expect anything of what Matt had planned for the evening: he knows that Cris not stand up to challenges, but proposes her.
And it is a challenge that I would not have ever expected because I believed that he really did not want any other man approached her.
Yet Matt continues to contradict from this point of view.
Cristina is a predator (she said it so many times) and a bit for personal satisfaction, a little to show to Matt what she is capable of, she decides to take up and win.
To make her think about her choices comes a beautiful and mysterious boy, Stefano Diamanti, who enters the scene in a big way but soon disappears. I sincerely hope that he returns.
Of this fourth episode I can tell you that the characters move on the edge of a razor, but despite I appreciate Ice Eyes and his beauty, his way of doing so terribly ambiguous but at the same time possessive of Cris is starting to wear on me. I hope that the want-you-dare-not working for me, I want you back just for me ends soon, and that Matt can take a final decision.
It's beautiful and desirable (it also says Cris' mother), but he is a man, and should behave like a man.
That there is in the hand of Stella, the mysterious girl that every time is mention but which has not yet appeared on the scene?"

Review on L'universo dei libri!
"I read it all in one breath this latest episode of Matt Staton's Agency, but the romantic in me has a bitter taste. Cris goes with Matt in this important dinner, with a beautiful dress, shoes and handbag to match, he in a tuxedo everything perfect, until yet another challenge... and it is here that comes into play the romantic in me. Are you in love with Matt or at least say it (and I'm at the point), he throws the challenge (to be with two other guys), on arrival at the party you kiss another boy, I'm thinking challenge or not challenge, but a little love for yourself no? There are challenges that you can accept and challenges that need to send to hell, because first of all there must be respect for themselves. Because then no one has really won the challenge, nor Cris nor Matt. I still can not figure Matt out, hopefully in the next few episodes he will open a little more."

Review on I miei sogni tra le pagine!
"A gaze shoots to dart at me and, captured in fragrance, I find myself staring ice eyes: a shades of blue, gray and turquoise, and hypnotics. They bewitch me without warning, immobilize me and take my breath away. They rapid slip on my body and a red-hot tingling is released at points that they lap.
Slowly I start to focus the man who is looking at me and my heart miss a beat."
"Here you are, I have just presented Matt Stanton, a mysterious handsome stranger with ice eyes that breaks, at a party to which she is not invited, into the life of 21-year old Cristina.
A few lines but quite effective, no?
"The Forbidden Man" is really just the first story in a episodes series, and it is still too early to make an assessment of characters and plot. Also because the mystery is still busy working on the mysterious activity (MSA), of which Matt is the owner, and what he actually wants from Cristina (no job, no boyfriend and a new life outside the home).
However, I must say that as the beginning promises well, and above all makes you want to continue.
It seems to be back to the publication of those exciting serial novels, chopped into short episodes overwhelming, except that here we are in 2013 and all this is done via e-book.
And what's more, let's say, can only intrigue story high-intriguing erotic (?) That mixes italians characters and he seems to spill from some Hollywood set, in that of Pescara, a location that (no offence) it's not really the first location novel that you would think.
For now 3 and a half stars, for Mr. Ice Eyes and for the curiosity, waiting for the sequel."

Review on Gilly in Booksland!
"And the people who like it hot here have confirmed that 3 is the perfect number! Things for the crackling couple Cris / Matt are definitely hot! The situation in this third episode of the series seems to echo the heat that has finally arrived on our peninsula!
Cris and Matt meet for the fateful dinner in which he will have to deploy all of his winning strategies to persuade the girl to be part of his agency, but what he did not put into account is that she has the qualities to be a pretty good fighter and will not hesitate to unleash all the weapons of seduction that has at her disposal!
Also because of a decidedly romantic background, the beach at night will witness ... I will stop because I do not do spoilers.
One of the things I like best of this author is that she manages to write quite hot scenes without ever, and I mean NEVER, be vulgar and I think this is a gift very rare considering the generally treated!
The setting is described in detail and allows the reader to be involved, to witness firsthand what is happening to the protagonists.
The music is a sweet background ... I find the titles for each scene in which they are mentioned absolutely spot on!
I leave one of the snippet that I liked most of this episode!
"... I feel suddenly deprived of my essence. He sucked it in, and also took my heart and my soul, giving them back with his name burned."

Review on La Bella e il Cavaliere ^.^
"And after finishing Addicted To You with so much hope for the future, I dived on the fourth chapter, and ... I'm still furious! Aaaaaaaaaaargh!
How many rows higher up I bragged to know well the author? I'm a fool lapwing. And Chiara Cilli screwed me for the umpteenth time. Know that she was surprised of the upheaval caused by Burn For Me. No comment.
Return to turn up the battered Federico (excuse the pun) and becomes more and more evident the type of relationship between him and Cris. Meanwhile, Matt and our predator (please Cris, we get it!) continue to tease with jokes and phone tag. Also exchange a few words, because of the commitments of the businessman, becomes difficult and Cris's safety falters.
My hand, however, is eager for the temptation to hit her.
Capiamoci: Matt, and I stress Matt, sends you dress, shoes and clutch and you still do the difficult.
Yes, yes, Cris, is strategy. And we want to talk about your thoughts in front of his gift, when he had revealed his feelings? Courage, Cris! I know that you scared: you can always keep running from reality.
From this extremely romantic moment, I continued to squeal joyful at the expense of poor ears of Alaisse.
At the party intervenes a certain Stefano, an intriguing that it is difficult to pin down, but which I have not paid much attention initially. Now I am very curious to know more, especially to understand why he knows Matt and from where born the resulting mutual aversion.
Suddenly my ecstatic shrieks turned into cries of rage and horror: I'll avoid spoilers, but I did not like Matt's challenge. No, no! The suffering of Cris was too intense for me, and despite everything, I do not trust much of Ice Eyes.
I am inconsolable. Understand me."
and two bites to ChiaraReview on La Bella e il Cavaliere!
"We had left Matt and Cris with the promise of a dinner. For the first time the episode doesn't open with a reflection on Cris's special friend Federico. The girl is, in fact, too busy preparing her trap for Ice Eyes: a plunging neckline on the back, completed by the lack of underwear.
It is the arrival of Matt to upset: a jaguar! You realize that? I found him terribly sexy before, but at this point I wonder how and why still resist to him. Engine vibration and wanton eyes immediately make the air electrical. So much so that the two are forced to distance themselves... just to have the hope of arriving at the restaurant.
Between each dinner courses and the other, as expected Matt and Cris resume teasing until to touch exciting and pressing moments. I will only say that the final scene of the episode is one of my favorite moments! Awww ❤ Of course I did not expect more from the pen, now that I have come to know well, of Chiara, but wanting to be totally honest, I have to admit that a little disturbed me the quotation of Fifty Shades of Grey. In any case it is a strictly personal taste, also because the insertion of this novel is functional to the narrative and makes the game more intriguing."

Review on Insaziabili Letture ^.^
"Not all relationships are easy and not all marital relationships are idyllic, but when you constantly live your own life between heaven and hell can not be serene.
And this is what Cristina lives, not only because of Matt but herself.
It is not difficult to see these two contradictory lovers to quarrel to the point of exhaustion and then make peace with all the ardor and warmth as possible.
Cristina, however, is a veritable Pandora's box, when you least expect it and when an event touches her, stifled and drowsy feelings come out and overwhelm her.
She's a time bomb, and instead of to turn every emotion off and leaving it under the surface, she should live them fully and surrender to them.
The young woman is very good to live in the present, the immediate, and she does it very well. The implications of her actions, however, are painful and fears are lurking.
Matt instead tries to be better, he is struggling, and is admirable even if every good intention is tempered by doubts that Stefano creeps into our protagonist.
The plot thickens and develops following a fast-paced, but some scenes may be too fanciful and lewd behavior by Cristina on several occasions, especially at the end, seems a bit too much. Nevertheless, the two male characters are too intense, mysterious, beautiful and sensual to not be charmed, and for this Cristina is forgiven for any behavioral contradiction.
The Cilli is carrying out a more and more intriguing and exciting plot that keeps the reader glued to the book and curious to read an erotic and intriguing saga that never ceases to amaze."
★★★★
