Been Loving You Too Long by Seraphina Donavan

Synopsis:

Ophelia Broulliard’s life has always been linked to the wealthy and powerful DuChamps family. The granddaughter of the family’s housekeeper, she’s worshipped Vincent DuChamps from afar--the ever unattainable prince in her fairy tale dreams. Little does she know that Vincent harbors his own secret feelings for her, but other darker secrets that he sees as an insurmountable obstacle to ever being the man she deserves, have prompted him to avoid her altogether.

When Thomas, the family patriarch dies, his will bears some unpleasant surprises for them both. Thomas wants nothing more than for Vincent and his siblings to be happy, and in his final act as the only father figure they’ve ever had, engineers a series of contingencies in his will that require them each to face their demons. Only too aware of what Vincent really feels for Ophelia, Thomas creates a situation that will force Vincent to confront his feelings. Unless, Vincent and Ophelia marry, Vincent and his siblings will lose everything, including the family business.

Forced into such close proximity, denying their attraction for one another becomes impossible. But even as they grow closer, other threats to the future of DuChamps Hotels and all that Vincent holds dear threaten to destroy their burgeoning relationship. Ophelia has played it safe her whole life. Taking a risk on Vincent is a frightening prospect. Will it be worth it, or will his secrets break both their hearts?

 

 

My Review:  4 out of 5

I enjoyed this story, it is full of drama and some hot loving.
 

This is the first of 3 books in the DuChamps Dynasty Series, with a book for each sibling.
 

Vincent and Ophelia both have been in love with each other for years from afar.  This is their story, of when they finally give in to the sexual tension, the aftermath when he reverts to form and how, just days later, they have to face the prospect of being married to each other as a condition of a will.
 

I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline.  I liked the premises of each sibling having to fulfil a stipulation in the will to retain their family fortune and if one fails they all fail, and everything would be given to their cousin. Of course, he would like nothing better than for them to fail.
 

There is a lot of hot sexy scenes with some very light BDSM elements to spice it up.

 

 

Would I read the next in the series or another story by this Author?

Yes, I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

 

 

Would I recommend someone else to read this story?

Yes, it was a good read, a hot romance.
