Synopsis -
Our passion is incredibly intense.
The connection between us borders on the possessive.
Our feelings are absolutely forbidden. We're cousins…
The question now is…what the fuck are we going to do about it?


After Elizabeth Hill is brutally attacked in her apartment by an intruder and then unceremoniously dumped by her ex-boyfriend, she moves in with her wealthy aunt and uncle who assign her older cousin the task of keeping an eye out for her. All she remembers about her cousin Roman is that he was the moody mean boy who played a cruel trick on her when she was just six years old; but soon learns that he is now a complex and multi-layered man who has the ability to protect her, ignite her, and challenge her like no one ever has before.

Roman Masterson makes his fortune by fixing celebrity problems for big money and by any means necessary. He is a foul-mouthed, bad-tempered, manwhore who doesn't have the time or inclination to babysit a gullible little brat from the suburbs…until he unknowingly spots her in the middle of a crowded dance floor and decides right then and there to claim every one of her orgasms from that moment on. Little does he know that the woman he's laid claim to is his…cousin.

My review. Thanks!
Cousins: An Alpha Bad Boy Romance (Cousins, #1) Cousins: An Alpha Bad Boy Romance by Lisa Lang Blakeney

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was definitely intrigued by the title and blurb. I love contrived plot lines and seeing if the author can rise to the challenge of keeping me invested in a story that on its surface should be off-putting or maybe even shocking.
First, I will say that I think Ms. Blakeney stretched the definition of cousins a bit here. I get it though.Overall, I really enjoyed this one.

I won't rehash the plot points here but I will share my impressions. I was drawn in for sure. I finished it quickly and never thought about quitting (that's happened to me quite a bit lately as I've somehow been picking boring reads). The steaminess was well done and I bought Elizabeth's inability to stay away. I enjoyed Roman. I like the true badness of him and how he's essentially unapologetic.

There were a few problems I had. I will admit that I was disappointed that it's a cliffhanger--I think it could have wrapped up nicely in a stand-alone. The back and forth could sometimes feel frustrating--there were some gaps in time that I felt a bit confused by. I did wonder if the author rushed in a couple parts--just some places (specifically the diner scene) where I didn't even realize the characters were already seated and eating. I recovered the context quickly but it was a bit jarring.

Again, overall, I enjoyed this one and plan to see how it all ends! Thanks for a run read, Ms. Blakeney.
