3.5 - 4 Lust List Stars
Okay, so I will start by saying this one seems to be going all over the place. But as someone who used to spend a lot time reading Us Weekly and watching reality television shows, I can’t turn away from this story about a Hollywood heiress who has fallen. Since her father’s death things have just gone from bad to worse.
In this installment, she is continued to be threatened by drug lords and struggle with being poor for the first time in her life.
Her attraction for Kaiden Stone is also growing, and he seems to be very interested in her as well, but are his feelings genuine?
We still have so many questions to have answered. I am really enjoying this one, my only complaint is Hayley. I wish she didn’t put herself out there so much. My heart hurt for her at the restaurant.
I am excited to see what happens next with Hayley.

This was a really good short story. The plot was really nice.
The characters were interesting and captivating.
There were moments I laughed. Hayley first-ever resume.
I want to know more about this story...

God, he’s sexy. I want to hate him, but that electric tension between us is as strong as it was at the mansion that night.

2.5 stars. :-/ I read it all at once so I'm gonna review it all at once. The plot points in this book were resolved WAY too easy and predictable. It lacked the angst I was looking for. Then the story became a repetitive cycle. They get together, Kaidan treats Hayley like crap, then Hayley threatens to walk away, then Kaidan sort of apologizes for being an ass, then they make up, and finally Hayley feels guilty for not telling Kaidan her secret, and the cycle repeats over and over. It did become dull. But what I did like was when Kaidan and Hayley did finally become a couple they were sweet together...well for the most part.

Okay, so Peyton I really don't like you. And Also, Hayley's brother Rowan is kind of a dick. There's a different side to Kaidan in this book but Peyton just slipped that he's hiding something. And the mystery that is Kaidan Stone continues. Overall, this is getting very interesting. I hope Hayley figures things out!

Me gustó un poco más que el anterior, aún no me convencen ninguno de los dos protagonistas pero la historia fluyó un poco más

A good serial; keeps me wanting more.
When I read and reviewed the first installment of this serial, One Condition, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about reading a serial. Well now I understand a little better how readers can crave these things. I really got into this second installment and eagerly await the next one.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions about Hayley's and Kaidan’s pasts, and their relationship, but that is to be expected since there are two more installments left in the serial. This story explored their continuing relationship with each other and Kaidan’s past with Peyton MacKenzie. There is quite a blow-up between Hayley and Peyton at a public event.
Once again, if you enjoy serial books with hot, young characters you should enjoy this one.
ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review and because of that I must say that I’m not sure how I would feel about paying $2.99 for this installment even though I really liked it a lot.

~Trouble, trouble 'round the house!~
In this second book we see that the book has progressed and something I didn't expect. It was a good surprise to know that this time the attraction was truly from both side. Our main characters want each other so much.
This time Kaidan stands up for Hayley. And she no longer feels like a doppelganger. She feels empowered for some reason and keep her head held high. This is one part of the story.
On the other hand, she has a brother who just got into some deep mess. We see that Hayley visits her brother here and how he brushes her off. The gang is still behind her for money and since she is unable able to pay, they take a turn and cause harm to her dear one. (I won't reveal who. To find out, kindly read the book).
Tangled Trust has got me further hooked and curious. I sincerely hope that Nova releases the third book soon <3

I received an advanced review copy from the author for a honest review.
This is such a wonderfully written series!!! I close my eyes and I feel like I'm in KaiHay land!!!
Hmmm.... I really don't think all is what it seems. Kiadan always had the right things to say. His actions at times are very suspicious. I'm hooked.
Her dress... it sounded beautiful. I'm thinking a flapper girl perhaps??
Rowan... love that he's a man whore ;) Hope we get more of him!!
The ending didn't pack the punch that I was hoping for. Regardless, this was a great follow up to One condition!!!

ALSO STILL NOT IMPRESSED WITH KAIDAN STONE.
December 12, 2019
It got interesting, still there are some questions unanswered so I’ll keep reading.
So far is an entertaining history with a bit of everything like drama, romance, intrigue, hot, steamy and sexy scenes, so it got me hooked.

This series just keeps on getting better and better and I'm devouring them like crazy. I love Kaihay.....Now onto the next book in the series..
July 14, 2020
Yes, I invested time in the first one and thought I’d give it a chance to see if there will be a plot on the second. Needn’t have done it. Couldn’t get past 15% of the book.

I was kindly provided with a copy of Tangled Trust to read and review.
Everything’s broken in L.A. Including me.
This is the second instalment of The Lust List: Kaiden Stone series giving us the continuation of Kaiden and Hayley as they struggle with their mutual attraction, debts to drug dealers and major family issues. I found this one to have much more depth and personality to all the characters but especially Hayley and I really did feel my heart go out to her more and more as she is seemingly being used or abandoned by just about everyone in her life. Sometimes I just want to yell at her and tell her to leave everything behind and never look back, sometimes people just aren’t worth the heartbreak.
There are these fleeting moments with Kaiden, where I feel completely at ease and calm… but I have no idea how to capture them and keep them.
Rowan, Hayley’s brother, was a very welcome new addition to the characters. He seems to have a very set opinion of her and I wonder if maybe their father was actually very manipulative with the truth when he was alive, I’m looking forward to getting to read more about their relationship in the next book. Charlotte, Hayley’s best friend, pleasantly surprised me too as she had much more understanding and compassion than I had hoped for after meeting her in One Condition.
This was a short read but a great addition to the series and although it leaves you with more questions than answers and on another cliffhanger it draws you in and makes it very easy to care about Hayley and Kaiden. This is a series definitely worth giving a go, it gets better and better as it goes along and I can’t wait for it to continue in Stolen Desire. Will Hayley find a way out of her predicament? Is Kaiden hiding something that will destroy things between him and Hayley? I can’t wait to find out.
I admire how easily he masks his true feelings, but it’s a little disturbing at the same time. Because… how can you trust someone who can hide how they really feel so easily?

Hayley is on her quest to retrieve the family heirloom lost to one of her Dads lovers. She discovers it in Kaiden Stones mansion, worn by Serena. When Kaiden and Hayley meet sparks fly. As time goes by her situation becomes dire and Hayley finds she's falling in love with Kaiden!
Tangled Trust picks up where one Condition ends. Novas writing style flows across the page, its smooth and so easy to get into to the story, the plot flows effortlessly and its very hard to put down once you start reading. Once again Hayley meets with her lawyer whom I have to admit that there's something off with him, he comes across as a slimeball. A revelation from her brother just adds to my suspicions. Hayley's brother doesn't come across very well and is the product of his father, no matter how much he tries to distance himself from all that was once his Dad. Their relationship is strained and I have to say I didn't take to him well but would love to see the relationship mended and Rowan eat humble pie! As Hayley's relationship progresses, Peytons behaviour unravels, I cannot wait until Hayley gives this book bitch what for!
As before we are left on a cliffhanger, desperately wanting to know what's next. I'm personally hoping Hayley opens up and confides in Kaiden. What secret is Kaiden keeping as well? I desperately hope KaiHay get their HEA. Normally a book split into numerous smaller parts as this one is would be a big turn off for me but I find myself loving this story so much I cannot let it go, my usual annoyances go ignored. I cannot wait for Stolen Desire to be released. Well done Nova, another gripping installment!
I fully recommend this series to anyone who loves a great romance with a twist, a book boyfriend to dream of and a book bitch we'd all love to slap!

Review of Tangled Trust: Kaidan Stone #2 (The Lust List: Kaidan Stone) by Nova Raines
Things are heating up for KaiHay
In this second book, Hayley is still smarting from what happened with her and Kaidan at his Father's party. She is even more depressed over her financial situation and frustrated with her brother not responding to her calls. She has been called to her lawyer's office and while trying to lose the SUV following her, she ends up getting a ticket for speeding and her broken window.
Kaidan has an office in the same building and when she tells the receptionist that she has an appointment with her lawyer, she is led to Kaidan's office instead. He tries to apologize and asks her to go to lunch with him, which she refuses. She goes on to see her lawyer, just to learn that a fourth of her inheritance has been lost. I don't know that I trust this lawyer - I think he is trying to rob her blind and that he might be in cahoots with someone else.
Hayley has so many problems in connection to her Father and her brother, but she is trying to make it on her own. Her trust issues are not calmed down by Kaidan and his ex, which leads to further hurt and pain by the paps for ScandalLust. Again, most of this book is told from Hayley's POV. There is still a lot to learn about Kaidan and what he may be hiding, so I will be waiting anxiously for the next book in the series.
Remember, this is a serial, so you might want to wait until all of the books have been released, but I would definitely recommend this series from Nova and Mira.

You see in order for Haley to get her money that dear ole Daddy Wade left her. She has to recover the so call stolen diamond necklace that he gave to the Kaidan fathers wife. Seems that dear ole dad had given it to her and in his will he states she stole it from him.
Now while this is going on the big bad drug dealers are after Haley for the money that her father owed them.

I received an ARC from the author for a honest review
I'm loving this series This book takes right off where One Condition left off Poor Hayley I really feel for her situation of life and I know that the world's falling in on my head feeling to well Boy she's in a mess I'm afraid though it a wrench of a mess later on and that scares me!!
Kayden, Kayden, Kayden!!! I like him I like how he softened in this book somewhat but boy oh boy there's a can of worms to be opened there I'm sure. The tender side of Kayden is sure to make you swoon or it did me.
We got to meet Rowan and he was nothing like I thought he would be. He's stubborn and hard headed and sure doesn't pass out second opinions Seems like he's got his mind made up about who he thinks Hayley is and there's no changing it I'd love to see their brother sister relationship grow in the future And then there's the ending Eeep!! I'm dying yo know what's happening next and can not wait to find out
It's such a well written book you feel like your in the story My favorite scene in the book I think is every little girls fantasy I'm sure we all stood in front of a mirror pretending to be a star receiving a award for it and getting all dolled up living the glamorous life Thus scene totally reminded me of being a kid hoping to do these things and I lived it I'd love to see the dress as it sounds amazing!! Now I will patiently wait to find out what happens next and would recommend this book to anyone who like a little action, angst, hot males, and how do we get out of this one in a book.

This is the second book of a new series and can not be read as a S/A.
Tangled Trust takes off where One Condition left us. Hayley is still struggling to get by following the aftermath of her fathers death, only now she has the added dose of heartbreak that Kaidan left her with.
This is written from Hayley's POV and I actually really like her. Does she cave to Kaidan a little too easy for my liking, yes, but then she's a young girl, seemingly all alone and its no wonder she's all too keen to find love. Hayley once again comes across as more than likeable and I'm already invested in her HEA.
Kaidan, however, is another matter. I still don't have a real feel for him and can't say I've particularly warmed to him yet. I suspect that this is purposely done as a lot of the angst and mystery surrounding the story does derive from Kaidan and his actions.
As a couple I'm also still not convinced and I'd like to see more from them or should I say I'd like to see more from Kaidan emotionally to help me buy into him and them going forward.
The plot is steadily moving along and I was happy to see the introduction of Hayley's brother. I would however, like to see a little more action or development from the plot going forward and given the story so far there is certainly lots of scope for some exciting things to come.
All in all, I'm enjoying this serial so far, and look forward to the next instalment. 3.5 stars from me.

Hayley is still trying to recover from seeing Kaidan with his ex Peyton and from having him call her Peyton in the throws of passion. She is having a hard time because she was developing feelings for him. Let's not forget about the awful magazine just slamming her and saying Kaidan and Peyton are meant to be and the comments from people are simply awful. She likes Kaidan but, isn't sure if she can trust him at all. She also has to think about her inheritance and what she has to do in order to get it. At this point I have no idea how she will pull it off. Will Hayley be able to ever trust Kaidan when he is constantly giving her a reason not to? Will they crash and burn before they even have a chance at love?
Kaidan and Hayley have a very hard time hanging out together. Whether it's Peyton being a crazy b-word, paps finding them and ruining it, or Kaidan not showing up. They have so many obstacles but, once they do have some time together they are sizzling. I mean the sexual tension is definitely there. I have high hopes for these guys because I really want them to work out!!
It will be interesting to see where this goes especially with the little cliffhanger at the end. I was more satisfied with Hayley's friends this time. I am curious to see how she is going to fulfill the requirements for the inheritance. Bring on book 3!!!
Kaidan and Hayley have a very hard time hanging out together. Whether it's Peyton being a crazy b-word, paps finding them and ruining it, or Kaidan not showing up. They have so many obstacles but, once they do have some time together they are sizzling. I mean the sexual tension is definitely there. I have high hopes for these guys because I really want them to work out!!

Tangled Trust is the follow up to One Condition. It was a quick and enjoyable read. It didn’t quite grab me right away, but I think it was because I was focused on Kaidan’s excuse for the ending of the first book. But, that being said, the book did pick up speed and became hard to put down.
All I can say is: Kaidan, Kaidan, Kaidan....I think you still need some redeeming to do in my opinion lol. But there is something about you that can draw a moth to a flame. And Hayley...I feel for her. I wanted to cry for her at times and other times I just wanted to shake some sense into her! I love it when an author can make you feel that way about a character.
I am really looking forward to reading more on Kaidan and Hayley. My mind is going in so many different directions of how everything is going to play out (So Nova...hurry up and finish the rest of the series lol). On a side note...I really don't like Hayley's lawyer....there's just something about him!!
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Nova for the opportunity to read Tangled Trust.

I received this book for an honest review.
This is the second book of the series, and Hayley is still figuring out what to do about the ‘one condition’ in her inheritance and about Kaidan’s behavior. Since her brother won’t return her calls, she’s all alone to handle this situation as best as she can – not an easy task with a creep as a lawyer. I wouldn’t be surprised to see he has a hidden agenda somewhere…
In the meantime, Hayley is handling her problems as best as she can – but between dodging the paps of ScandalLust, the thugs who are after her dad’s money and always running into Kaidan’s ex, a girl would lose hope… We also learn that Kaidan is really good at hiding his emotions, so I am very curious to see what he’s got up his sleeve in the next book.
And then there is the brother… Hayley tries to warn him, but as stubborn as he is, he will not listen to a word she says, until it is too late and he needs to face the facts that his sister is not delusional, like he might have thought.
I can’t wait to read the next book of this series, it should unravel a few mysteries.. bring it on, Nova Raines !

This is a 4 books series. I´m making only one review, because they're all short stories and could have been told in only one book.
Harley Wade´s rock star dad just passed away and let her in a terrible situation. And then she meets Kaidan, an asshole in disguise of prince charming.
This book was too much for me. Hailey is too stupid, Rowan is too aggressive toward Hailey, Char is too shallow and Kaidan is too much an overbearing asshole who likes to play hot and cold just like Perry´s song.
Esta é uma série de 4 livros. Eu estou fazendo apenas uma resenha pq são histórias curtas que poderiam ter sido contadas em apenas um livro.
O pai rock star de Hailey acabou de morrer e a deixou em uma péssima situação. E então ela conhece Kaidan, um babaca disfarçado de príncipe encantado.
Esse livro foi demais pra mim. Hailey é muito bocó, Rowan é muito agressivo com a Hailey, Char é muito superficial e Kaidan é um babaca muito arrogante que gosta de bancar o bipolar com a Hailey., igual a música da Katy Perry.

***Received through NOOK in exchange for an honest review***
I liked this one. I really did. Kaidan is starting to grow on me. At first I thought he was a complete and utter jackass, but in this one he grew on me. I liked what I read about him. I think him and Hayley are perfect for one another.
I felt bad for Hayley. she's going through so much shit. The paparazzi aren't giving her any space and they're all up in her business. She's going through a rough time and she just can't seem to catch a break. She lost her dad (although she wasn't all that close with him in the first place), she has to steal a diamond necklace from one of her father's ex-girlfriends in order to get her inheritance, and to top it all off she has drug dealers coming after her because her dad owed them money. So Hayley's kind of going through a rough time right now.
I would totally recommend this book. It was really good, and I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment. Pick up this book because it is super good.

Give me Kaidan's POV!
I know I said "I like angst, lots of it" but I can't take it anymore. I don't know what to say, because, I could define it in one word, AMAZING! But it would be too short for a review.
I really can't say how much I loved it, and I'm not saying it because I received it as a free copy, but because I found it really good. And I think you'll love it, as long you're into a jerk-ish hero, a heroine that is asking for a slap as a wake up call, and really angsty situations (mainly, but not limited to couple type)
My only complaint is that I don't feel that Kaidan has redeemed himself, at least not yet, and if I'm being honest, I want to see him grovel a bit. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed it.
It's a short and easy to read story, and again I'm missing Kaidan's POV and I want it so much, 'cause, I think it'll give us some insight on the twins relationship, and I'm dying to know it, what he thinks about Hayley? I don't think I can wait much longer!
Please Ms. Raines stop torturing me, and give me answers!

**Complimentary Copy provided by Author for an honest review.**
This is the second in the Lust List Series, which continues right where it left off from the first book One Condition. Hayley is navigating through her life and thinking of ways to handle her unfortune while dealing with her fathers past. How much she should tell those around her and as she lets Kaiden back in her life with all his secrets she realizes she can not blame him for she's not being completley honest herself.
I enjoyed this even more so than the first. The character development has grown and Kaiden was much more enjoyable especially his actions at the awards show. These two are definatly growing on me. They are extremley HOT together...cannot wait to see what all these secrets will do to eachother.

Yep this one was awesome to ... I can't help it I love to read the trashy magazines with all the dirt or insight into the lives of the celebs ... I can't help it. So I was immediately was drawn to this series!!
Tangled Trust picks up right where the first installment One Condition left off! Hayley is still being hunted ... followed ... harassed by the Mexican drug lords who want her to pay her fathers debt. She still hasn't been able to figure out how to get the diamond from Serena but she's holding it all together the best she can. Of course all of this is happening while she is slowly falling for the hottest bachelor around Mr. #1 on the Lust List ... Kaiden Stone.
My heart broke for her at the restaurant, the awards show, and then the morning after when she woke up. But I'm still rooting for Kaiden and I sure hope he doesn't let me down!!
This one again kept me on the edge of my seat and I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment ... bring on the drama!!!!

This was sent to me by the author for a review. There were parts of this book that I really wish had Kaidan's pov. He runs so hot and cold with Haylee that I don't blame if she is feeling used by him because he definitely treats her like he is. After the awards party and the confrontation with Peyton, I have to admit there is a mystery as to what exactly Kaidan is up to. Really makes me wonder if he actually is using Haylee for something. Haylee gets a reprieve from the drug lords, however, her brother appears in the book and he becomes acquainted with them. Will Haylee get the elusive diamond for her inheritance? What is Kaidan really hiding? Will Haylee's brother be found? I will just have to wait for the next installment to see if any of these questions will be answered

I give this 5 stars because one, Kaiden and Hayley are finally together. Kaiden's not a jerk anymore and I love him more, and two, the plot is developing at a very nice pace. I'm really glad that Hayley's brother is slightly more involved now, and I am really looking forward to how the plot will advance and how it will affect their relationship. Also I really hope Hayley can get that necklace soon, but at the same time I don't because well the plot is very good and entertaining with this whole money fiasco. Overall, this book was really great and if you liked the first one, I'm sure you'll love this one even more!!!! I can't wait for the next installment in the series!!!!!

This story leaves off after the dreadful party and the aftermath of what Kaidan said. Hayley basically decides to go on with her life and figure out a way to get rid of the drug dealers.
The poor girl deals with more crap than I could handle. I want to like Kaidan so much, but his actions leave much to be desired. Hopefully he will come through in the end and treat Hayley right. I know there a few more obstacles we will have to deal with though to get that HEA.
The story left us with quite the cliffhanger. Greatly anticipating the next chapter.
