➦You know it's not great for ya when you can't be bothered to stick around for an epilogue. Yep, I totally didn't care and moved right on to book 2 in the series.
➦Imagine you are competing against other women on a reality show for one man. And you like him, you really really like him! Then bam! You meet someone else and you like him more! So what the fuck do you do now? That's the situation the heroine in this book finds herself in.
➦And although the book has an interesting premise and a lot of ...more

She doesn’t want the fame, she just need the money, but she knows she has rules to follow anyway. The show have a bachelor that will choose one girl so the contract rules are clear: no type of relationship or physical contact with anyone except with the bachelor.

4.25 to 4.5 Throbbing Stars!
I thought this book was pretty damn good! This was one of those really entertaining reads, start to finish, with two characters who were pretty damn awesome!
Throb is a love story of sorts set in the drama of Reality TV! Cooper Montgomery is a sexy successful TV mogul who has no problem with getting the attention of women everywhere. While he goes thru the motions of "bachelorhood" he knows something is missing. Well, that is until an impromptu card game introduces a v ...more

“If you WANT something, you pursue it aggressively and nothing gets in your way.
If you LOVE something, sometimes you have no choice but to set it free so it can find its way back to you forever...”
This is pretty much the lesson the characters have to learn in this story.
In Throb, we have 3 main characters with an interesting love triangle. First of all, I hate love triangles when the girl or the guy cannot decide. This was nothing like that, so don’t avoid the book for this reason.

Prepare not to sleep, not to eat and for your family to generally be ignored (eh, they'll get over it). This original and unique page-turner is packed with so much heat that it is incendiary and guaranteed to leave YOU throbbing. Vi Keeland's writing is tight, crisp and fast-paced. You're not going anywhere until you've hit that last page, so settle in for an amazing ride.
3,5 stars
Interesting characters,fast-paced story and an amazing romance.Something happened to me while reading this book which hasn't happened in a very long time-I preferred the main male character and his POV to the main female character.
The summary of this book is pretty clear but I couldn't help but feel that the relationship (no quotations because at one point in this book Kate kind of has conflicted feelings? I mean,the whole situation is weird but I just didn't get some of Kate's actions. ...more

Though the sex wasn't that descriptive the chemistry between the pair and Cooper's dirty mouth had a 'Throb' developing down under for me.

Le doy un 3,5. Aunque la historia me ha gustado, el protagonista masculino es demasiado similar a Jack Cole, otro de esos fuertes protas que tanto parecen gustarle a la autora.
¡¡Deseando leer el libro sobre Flynn Beckham!!, un personaje que he amado desde el minuto uno.

Throb was my very first Vi Keeland book and I'm sure it won't be my last because it was such a great read. It was a very different book from what I initially expected (in a good way!) but it ended up being one of my favorite books now.
I loved Kate and Cooper as the main characters but I loved them together even more. They had chemistry right off the bat but the only thing keeping them apart was the contract Kate signed for a reality tv show game. Kate needs the prize money to help her mother and ...more

Throb was an easy read without too much angst but loaded with a good and unique storyline. The plot was set in a Reality TV which is a popular concept in television right now, so it was interesting to have an idea of what probably goes on behind the scene in all those reality shows.
In Throb, we have a wealthy businessman, a rockstar and a beautiful girl. How did their lives intertwined?
