~~~ I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review ~~~

First of all, I adore Catherine Bybee's books! This series that follows the D'Angelos is no exception. Be Your Everything is the second book in the series. It follows Chloe and Dante's relationship. They have known each other since birth and have each harbored a love for the other- secretly- and to top it off, Dante is Chloe's brother's best friend. Then one night in Vegas, and everything changes. I loved this book so much and adore all the characters. Bybee's writing really bring you to the scene. This is a story of romance, love, family, and devotion. I highly recommend this book and the series as a whole. Looking forward to the next books!

Chloe has crush in Dante for a long time and she convince herself she is not. Dante know Chloe is off limits because she is his best friend’s sister, but he could not help himself in Vegas. They end up drunk and Dante is not sure how it happened, but he married Chloe. They realise it was a mistake the next morning but it was too late to do anything. When their families find out about the wedding, they begged them to stay out of it and let them handle things their own.

A delightful, funny and adorable story to me. The storyline is mix of love, heartbreak, family ties and drama. Love both Dante and Chloe for their great chemistry and endearing characters.

One of my favorite contemporary romance authors. I love her writing and a perfect story to spend on a cozy night. Definitely a page turner and would recommend.

I love all.of the characters in these books! These are just easy and heartwarming. They keep me reading every time!

Wonderful addition to the DeAngelo family series. Little bit of a new spin on the familiar trope of best friends little sister/brothers best friend mixed with waking up in Las Vegas married to each other. Ms Bybee makes it work and OMG her descriptive narration makes it easy to see smell and hear Little Italy in San Diego and Bali easily. Another winner!

I enjoyed reading Be Your Everything by Cahterine Bybee. The characters in this story will warm your heart. Happy Reading!

I really enjoyed this novel. Add a dramatic close knit family, a vegas stag do, plenty of alcohol and simmering attraction leads to Chloe and Dante waking up married. Great novel, fun story and a HEA! Loved it

BE YOUR EVERYTHING is the second book in the D’Angelo series! Talk about an awesome family! They always have each other’s backs no matter what is going on within the family. Seriously, I want this family to adopt me! Chloe D’Angelo loves her family and loves working in the family restaurant. But she also has a dream of going to Bali, but that is going to have to wait as her older brother is getting married and no way she can miss that!

BE YOUR EVERYTHING has the entire wedding party in Vegas and Chloe finds herself in the close proximity of Dante Mancuso. She can deny her feelings for him all she wants, but she is only fooling herself. Dante knows Chloe is off limits, but he can’t seem to help himself in Vegas. They wind up drunk and together and walking in to a Vegas wedding chapel! What?? Chloe can’t believe what they have done and runs away(after her brother’s wedding of course) to Bali to try and get a grip on her life. Boy does that girl have some thinking to do! How is she ever going to explain what happened to her family?

Once their families find out, the real fun begins. They beg their families to stay out of it and let them handle things on their own, but if you have or know an Italian mother, you know how this goes while reading BE YOUR EVERYTHING. Will Dante have the chance to show Chloe that they were meant to be? I don’t want to say too much for fear of giving away all of BE YOUR EVERYTHING but once I started reading this beautiful and heart breaking story, I could not stop! I am so excited to read the next book and fall more in love with the D’Angelos. Their family is going to worm their way into your heart and never leave. A perfect heartfelt and wonderful story to spend the afternoon with!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Chloe and Dante. They have known each other all. There is an attraction. The land up in Vegas one night, the next morning they wake up married. They decided to keep the marriage a secret. It you know how secrets have a way of coming out. They declare their love.

Chloe is tired of being under her families thumb. She wants to go and pursue her passion and learn who she is. Dante is her brothers best friend. He left to find his father. He stayed away because he was in love with someone he couldn't have. When they all go to Vegas to celebrate Brooke and Luca's bachelor and bachelorette parties things get a little out of hand. Feelings are acted on. Secrets are kept. When Chloe has had enough of the charade she leaves the country hoping it will all be over when and if she comes back. But Dante refusing to give up follows her.

I am loving this series so far. I was glad Chloes book was next. I have never been disappointed by a Catherine Bybee book. I of course jumped at the chance to read and review a book of hers when I was offered an complimentary copy. There are a few different tropes in here. You really can't go wrong especially if you love a HEA.

I highly recommend reading but I do strongly suggest that you read book one, When it all falls apart, first as all the characters are introduced in that one.

'LSK recommended and reviewed.'

I love this author and I love the dangelos...can thry be my family ? I loved how different this book was. It went against the culture but it also let the characters be human and just live their lives as they choose to. No one was perfect and that made them irritable to read about. I need all of the books now

Dante and Chloe have a fiery chemistry from the very beginning and I loved that the attraction had been percolating since they were teenagers. Family ties, a life-changing what happens in Vegas moment, and an inspiring trip to Bali make this romance unputdownable. I fell hard for Dante and I can't wait for more D'Angelo's in book three of this series. These can be read as standalones, but it's more fun to immerse yourself in this close-knit Italian family and enjoy all the love.

Thank you for the ARC. This is the second book in this series and it can be read as a standalone. This was a quick read and was really good I will definitely be looking out for the next book, so I can keep up with this family.

I adore Catherine Bybee - but there was just something about this book that didn't work for me. I adored the first D'Angelo book and was really looking forward to this one. But the Vegas wedding regrets and hiding the whole thing from their families - just was a no from me. I think the overarching themes related to disappointing your family and figuring out how to handle that - in this context - were what didn't work for me.

I still love Catherine Bybee - and I will definitely be looking for the final book in this series.

I received this as an ARC - but these opinions are all my own.

Thank you for the ARC. I have not read the first book on this series and I think this can be read as a standalone. I will look for the next book, though, to keep up with this family. This was a fun, quick read.

I adored the first installment of the series and I couldn’t wait to read more about the D’Angelos, with their catholic italian mother, two protective brothers and in between Chloe, who had to manage her lousy family while trying to date and wanting somehow something more outside the family.

When a weekend in Vegas went wild, Chloe found herself married to her childhood friend and also her brother’s best friend, Dante. How to complicate things.

I appreciated reading about these two characters who have done things backwards and trying to learn together and also about themselves along the way, making their connection growing stronger.

This was a delightful, sweet and funny story. Heartwarming and compelling, I adored the author’s storytelling. The kind that got you hooked from the start.

I'm really enjoying this series about an Italian family who own a restaurant.

This book is about Chloe and Dante. Chloe's family own the restaurant and Dante is the best friend of one of brothers, who Chloe has long held a flame for, but Dante was warned off 'little' sister Chloe years ago as he was definitely a ladies man!

But during the joint hen/stag do for one of Chloe's brothers in Vegas things change, and Dante and Chloe get married in a mad moment, and spend the rest of the book trying to sort it out.

There's lots of really lovely moments, while Dante and Chloe try to hide their marriage from their family, whilst also trying to figure out if it could actually work, since they've put the cart before the horse!

This is a turning into a great series, the first book was very enjoyable and this one was just as good. Lots of family drama, fun and games, but with a happy ending. I'd highly recommend this series.

Thank you to all for the ARC!

Let me just say, this was the second book I've read from Catherine, and I AM HOOKED. She has a reader for life in me. I read "Be Your Everything" in 6 hours. That's a new record for me! This book was funny, quick to read, and just SO good. I found myself laughing out loud (literally) and wanting to know more about how everything was going to work itself out.

In true Catherine fashion, the heroine comes to the rescue to save his girl! Ugh. I really enjoyed this one and I'll be reading more from Catherine in the future.

I was so excited for this one, but ended up dnfing.
I love a brothers best friend trope it’s one of my favorite tropes! However this one did not live up to my standards.
I was kind of put off when in the beginning of the book they’re all going to strip clubs…going to strip clubs when you’re about to get married has never made sense to me but hey that’s just me personally. Also the fact that Dante seemed to be a bit more sober than Chloe when they go and get married in Vegas…not cool dude. I wish we seen more or Dante and Chloe before the marriage instead of it jumping straight to it. I wanted the tension!! Maybe I should’ve given this book more of a chance and kept reading but I think this one just wasn’t for me. Although I could definitely see others enjoying it!

What a wonderful addition to this series, though can be read as a stand-alone. So much fun to read. Chloe os the youngest in her very traditional old school family and always treated as such. She’s been in love with her brothers BFF, Dante for as long as she can remember, but he is soooo off limits. She is truly torn between living the life she really wants and meeting all of the expectations of everyone else. Before she can head out on her dream trip, the entire crowd heads off Vegas for a pre-wedding celebration. Next thing she know she and Dante are married. WHAT? Its a truly fun, laugh out loud, sweet, romantic read from start to finish and their eventual HEA. Not a spoiler as its what we came here for. Fingers crossed for another in this really enjoyable series.
