(Exciting) Cover Reveal!: Diamond are Forever by Michelle Madow

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas … but that doesn’t matter when you live there. Sisterhood, first crushes and scandalous secrets explode in book three of Michelle Madow’s The Secret Diamond Sisters.

Welcome to the Diamonds are Forever cover reveal! I am super excited about this post and cover. I love this trilogy so much and am kind of sad to see it come to an end. If you haven't read the two books in the trilogy I highly recommend it! Before we get to the cover, here are the first two books of this trilogy if you would like to check it out!

The Secret Diamond Sisters

Author: Michelle Madow

Pages: 382

Published by: Harlequin Teen

Published on: February 25 2014

Three sisters. One billionaire father. What could go wrong? Savannah. Courtney. Peyton. The three sisters grew up not knowing their father and not quite catching a break. But it looks like their luck is about to change when they find out the secret identity of their long-lost dad—a billionaire Las Vegas hotel owner who wants them to come live in a gorgeous penthouse hotel suite. Suddenly the Strip's most exclusive clubs are all-access, and with an unlimited credit card each, it should be easier than ever to fit right in. But in a town full of secrets and illusion, fitting in is nothing compared to finding out the truth about their past.

All-access doesn't mean no problems. The three Diamond sisters survived the summer in style after coming to live with their long-lost billionaire father. But making a place for themselves at their exclusive new Las Vegas private school is throwing them any number of gold-plated curves. Savannah's YouTube stardom turns into a Sweet Sixteen reality show extravaganza—with complimentary enemies on the side. Dangerous flirtations don't keep Peyton from a gamble that will risk far more than she planned to bet. And when Courtney and the sisters' archenemy, Madison, uncover two explosive secrets, it will rock even this town of glittering illusion—and turn their lives upside down all over again. Sisterhood, first crushes, and scandalous secrets explode in book two of Michelle Madow's riveting series, The Secret Diamond Sisters.

Guys, I loved this book so much. I read Transcend Time a super long time ago and just recently read Timeless. I thought Transcend Time was a great book but holy! Timeless is a lot better. Timeless picks right back up a few days after the ending of Transcend. By the first chapter there is already stuff going on and the plot is developing. I would definitely want you to read this series. It's quick, short, and great reads!

One thing I really loved about this book was how Michelle wrote the plot. Transcend Time was only a base and Vengeance was a very good prequel to this book, that's how I see it. As I mentioned above, the plot quickly develops and that's why I love this book so much. I never got bored and was dying to find out what happened next. (Good job Michelle!) It (the plot) is something I didn't really expect to happen in this book. Of course, it goes very well with the theme of the past, but I was really excited for this aspect of the plot. There were also a few action parts and they were super fun to read about.

The characters. I can't say much about them because they are people I have read about before. I think this book was more focused on the plot than the character development. Of course, I loved the characters and loved reading about new ones. I guess there isn't much to say. I must warn you though, the amount of chanters that actually have huge amounts of dialogue, aren't big. (I could count them all in one hand)

I gave this book 5 stars because I loved the characters, plot, and just had a great time reading this book.

The fireworks started before either of them could say anything more, bursts of light shooting into the desert sky, bigger than any firework show Courtney had seen in Fairfield. It was impossible to ignore the electricity bouncing between the inches of space separating her and Brett, dancing across her skin with each boom overhead. She couldn’t stop glancing at him from the corner of her eye. He looked lost in thought, although sometimes she swore she caught him watching her, too. This went on for twenty minutes, and then came the finale—shot after shot of fireworks exploding, without a second’s break between them. Some sored into their air like comets and others spread like meteor showers, filling up miles of sky.

When it was over, Courtney was sitting so close to Brett that their arms were an inch from touching.

“How did you like it?” he asked, not making an effort to move away.

“I loved it,” she replied. “Thanks for bringing me.”

Her head felt fuzzy, and she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her arm brushing his. She stilled at the touch, and he looked at her with more intensity than he had the entire night.

“Are you two ready to leave?” Dawn destroyed the moment, standing up and brushing invisible dust off her jeans.

Courtney jerked backward, torn out of her trance. If the others hadn’t been there, what would have happened between her and Brett? She’d never kissed a guy before, but from the way he was looking at her, she felt like he’d wanted to kiss her. And if he had, she wasn’t sure she would have stopped him.

She shook her head at the thought. Courtney had never broken a rule in her life.

Whatever had just occurred between her and Brett could never happen again.
