War is inevitable, but who will win?


Murphy

The minute I stepped foot in New Orleans, my life changed forever.
I was always meant to remain in the shadows, hidden from prying eyes, like any good bastard.
Until I was called upon.

Finding myself hunted by a dangerous family for a debt I have no knowledge of.
Everyone wants me gone, but they underestimate me. I refuse to be pushed around or forced back into obscurity.
From now on, everyone will know my name because I am here to stay and claim what is rightfully mine.

There will be a war, one I am hell-bent on winning!


Zander

Sent on a hunt for a person who owes my family, I will not be stopped until I have my man.

How was I to know what I would find?

Murphy Larussa is not what any of us saw coming, least of all me.

With her smart mouth and hot curves, she is the only woman capable of bringing me to my knees.

Now, I will do anything to protect her, even if that means protecting her from my own family.

Everyone wants a war.

I will give them one, and this war, like all of them, is one I refuse to lose.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Written by Monique Orgeron’s eldest, most beautiful, and intelligent daughter. (My sister is going to hate this part.)

My mom happens to be the most caring, loving, and stubborn person I know, well anyone knows. She gives 100% percent of herself to everyone and has given up so much of herself for my sister and I. For twenty-one years she has poured her heart and soul into making sure we know that we are loved and that we can do anything we put our minds too, but it was about time she figured that out about herself.

Up until this year, I hadn’t seen my mom do anything for only her, but this book has allowed her to travel the world through the pages of a book, make new friends, and feel the joy of doing something exciting.

There is a new light behind her eyes and it is just making me feel more joy than she can ever imagine. While she might be annoying most of the time, I am so thrilled that she is finally allowing herself to grow as a person and not spend all of her energy on her family.

It has been a long journey of self-discovery for my mom; she has gone from domestic supermom to domestic goddess throughout the process of writing.

We are so very excited and proud of you! I love you as big as the world.

-Bria and Tony

    Wow what another great read. The Stern family always keeping you on the die of your seat. I loved Zander and Murphy’s story. Zander is the brute for the family. Going after the people that owe them money or do them wrong. Murphy is from New Jersey and runs her mothers strip club. She inherits her estranged fathers casino in Louisiana after he passes away. Oh and the Stern’s made a deal to get the casino too. Now here comes Murphy a spitfire young lady that won’t take crap from anyone. She’s beautiful , curvy and tough as nails. Zander takes a liking to her immediately before he knows who she really is. Now will Murphy. be able to let her walls down to be with Zander? Or will she fight him ? And don’t let me get started on the end. WHOA!!!! Bravo o. Yet another epic book.

    Gave this book four stars for the excellent writing and for Zander. However, I absolutely HATED Murphy. I was hoping that Catherine took the babies and booted her to the curb. What a spoiled b****. Zander deserved so much better. Maybe she'll get hers in one of the other books . . .

    I love nothing more than books about strong men and women. This series has both, but it is the women that truly fascinate me. In this book, Murphy (female) is as strong as they come, or so she thinks. But it will take Catherine and one unfortunate event to make her into a woman no one will want to cross. In other words, she's almost a younger Catherine. Overall a very good book 3 in this wonderful series. But as in the previous books, the use of the word ‘bring’ when it should be the word ‘take’ does get irritating.

    Once again another page turner that I could not put down. Each book gives more and more insight into the Stern’s but I think Zander has been my favorite of all the son’s thus far. Him and Murphy are explosive and loving. They had me hooked from the beginning.

    When you a big man with an ego to match what better way to put you in your place that a short and fiery redhead. Murphy definitely gives Zander a run for his money in this cat and mouse like chase. While dealing with inner demons, fighting to save the casino of the father who deserted her and mastering the art of war, Murphy Larussa gives the Stern family a ride that they’ll never forget.

    In Art of War, we revisit our cast of the Stern Family picking up right where Art of Forgiveness left us. Wanting to know more about the future heir of the casino who debt they have just purchased. Well, little surprise Murphy was not the heir they had anticipated. With her dominating personally but often closed off, she was a hard character to like most of the time. Especially when you have a brute like Zander being knocked around. Zander was easy to fall in love with yet again. The feelings I have for him have transpired from book one Art of Seduction I’m not saying Murphy isn’t well written. She was definitely meant to cause a confusion of feeling for Zander and the reader. That she does very well. She’s battling with an issue that stems from her childhood, which has traveled with through her years. Those are hard walls to knock down. Plus with the business that these two are in feelings can often land you in the hot seat.

    Throughout the book, we are kept updated on a blossoming family, which I enjoyed. While this story was to revolve around Zander it was incorporated in a way that you weren’t left feeling that those details were just tossed in there.

    The only serious flaw I had been with Kyle/Kylie. Not that I didn’t enjoy his flamboyant behavior and blunt mouth. He was such a great comical character. I just felt he was missing for keys parts of the storyline. For me, he seemed to of slipped away into the world of forgotten secondary characters. He started with a very prominent role but was dismissed about the 30%, with a quick reappearance of talking on the phone with no dialogue. Just being informed they spoken on the phone. I wish he would have been around more. I loved the interactions between Zander, Kyle/Kylie, and Murphy. So I was happy to have him resurface at the very end but, sad that he wasn’t there for more of the big events. The other issues were minor details that just seemed to change our previous characters ever so slightly. But that could easily be explained off by the growth of the story and character.

    Now the suspense that Monique brought was beyond amazing when I thought I had things figured out I was wrong. I really thought I knew what was going on. That was not the twist I saw coming. It was yet another perfectly sculpted integration on her part.

    Overall, I know I am eagerly awaiting to read about our mysterious Vin in the next book of the series Art of Loyalty.

    I loved this book. Murphy was a woman who was strong, feisty, independent, and wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself. Zander was the perfect alpha male for her. He was strong, and could handle her like no one else. Their chemistry was off the charts, and I liked how she finally realized how much she loved him, and broke down and told him. This book was full of a lot things going on and it was hard to put it down. Loved it❤️❤️❤️

    Absolutely everything! This book has it all, abandonment, fear, hope, resilience and love.
    There are so many twists and turns through this story that I became caught up on the rollercoaster of a ride it took me on.
    I fell in love with the gentle giant Zander and admired the strength Murphy displayed. However, Murphy’s strength masked her weakness, but she blossomed and bloomed with the love of the Sterns.
