I was so happy to get Chloe and Dante's story. There was some foreshadowing to this match in the first book in this series. (I recommend reading the series in order so that you are familiar with all the characters.)

This book started off with a bang in Vegas and then settled in with the consequences and questions. It took me a minute to really connect to the characters and their relationship, but I loved the time they spent in Bali. That really hooked me.

This is a great addition to the D'Angelo series and a wonderful take on the secret weddings & brother's best friend trope.

Chloe and Dante had a great story. Got to love committed families and friends. Putting the cart before the horse was a great twist.

And it all started in Las Vegas. Even though he knew Chole was off limits, Dante couldn’t stay away from her. And what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Chole and Dante did their best to keep this under wraps, Chole even escaped her family going halfway across the world knowing Dante would leave and go back to Italy. But what we do and think is best is sometimes miserable and the two were finding this out. This book had me doing some of my own soul searching as I read the pages as Chole did hers.
Catherine has teased us about what Dante would be like, and when I read his and Chole’s story I was not disappointed. A beautiful love story by best selling author, Catherine Bybee.

I have been enjoying Ms. Bybee's books for quite a while and looked forward to reading this new one. I did like this book but it didn't seem to be as engrossing as previous ones. Her earlier books are still my favorites but I would never pass up the opportunity to read a book by her. I received this e-book digitally from NetGalley in return for a voluntary and unbiased review. Thank you Montlake and NetGalley.

A romance about friends waking up married after a drunken night in Vegas. Be Your Everything is the second book in the series and I am looking forward to Gio’s story.

When long term wishes and dreams come true, but perhaps not in the way one expected...

Be Your Everything by Catherine Bybee is the story about the sister (Chloe) falling for her brother's best friend (Dante) and suddenly being married to him after a drunken night in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, or should that be fortunately, not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

This is an enjoyable and easy to read story, with a few surprises including a trip to Bali, but all in all with the expected ending.

It is the second book in the The D'Angelos series and as I hadn't read the first book I understand from other reviews that I may have missed out on some of the background story, especially in regards to Dante.

This wasn’t my favourite, which is a real shame as I loved book one.

Individually I loved the characters and thought they had great chemistry at the start. It was once they’d returned from Vegas where everything went slightly down hill. I didn’t overly understand the unnecessary drama with the other man, and felt her running off so suddenly was a bit much. And when he chased after her, I just wasn’t feeling the connection. It may have been the writing or it may have been me wanting more angst, rather than jumping straight into the lovey-dovey parts.

I didn’t hate it by any means, it just wasn’t my favourite.

Every time I read this authors series I'm always wishing I can move to the towns she's describing. This one especially. The weather sounds fantastic. The neighborhood and how everyone knows each other just sounds fun to me.

The D'Angelos family sounds so close and I love how they all watch out for each other. Chloe probably thinks her brothers look out for her too much but she's a lucky girl to have them in her life. Granted they are the reason she has an unconventional start to her relationship with her brothers best friend but I also felt like this was a more realistic way everyone would react to the brothers best friend trope.

Dante has been described as such a playboy in the first series that I had to wonder how I was going to like him with Chloe. The good thing is his reputation was bigger than his reality. Or more like he grew up and it's just harder to shrug off a reputation like that. I think that was a good thing because I'm not the biggest fan of other woman drama. However, we do get some other man drama in this one that certainly made this interesting.

So far, this has been a sweet family romance series. There is the expected conflict you find towards the end, but these have been more of a suspenseful conflict that ramps up the nerves. What happens in this one was pretty scary and probably happens more than we think. Overall, a great read and a great series.

This was my first book by Catherine Bybee. I enjoyed the story of Dante and Chloe. There were many aspects of their relationship, from being childhood friends, standing up together in a wedding, the ",what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" moment, and others that lead to the question, are they falling in love? I liked how they "fit" each other, their family cohesiveness and their tropical destination. I hadn't read the first book in the series but would love to. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Chloe is happy for her brother who is getting married. She has had a crush on her brothers friend Dante for years. She tries a dating app but decides that the more time she spends with Dante, the more she loves him. I liked the chemistry between Chloe and Dante.

A bachelor and bachelorette party in Vegas for Chloe's oldest brother and his fiancee, with family and friends. The girls head out by themselves, the boys head out by themselves...so...how in the heck do Dante and Chloe find themselves in a Wedding Chapel, rings on their fingers, waking up married, with all those chaperones?? Where there's a will there's a way and Dante and Chloe have had a thing for each other for years, never acting on the attraction, and neither knows the other feels the same! Whoo Boy...what will happen when their families find out they're married?? Let's see...we won't tell them, we'll get a quickie annulment, and that will be that. NOT!!

So much good stuff happens after the Vegas weekend. They manage to keep their marriage to themselves through the Christmas holidays. Chloe takes off early to Bali. Dante goes home to Italy to get some advice from his business partner.

Will Chloe's extended trip to Bali clear her mind and make her see what she really needs? How will Dante's business partner advise him? Such a great story!

I am a fan of Ms. Bybee's books. The writing is great. The issues are current. The characters are perfectly imperfect!

Be Your Everything is the second book in the D'Angelo's series. You don't absolutely have to read the first book in the series to enjoy this one. I feel reading the first book, gives you the background you need to understand the family dynamics, and what it means to be the little sister in a family of strong men who want to protect her, along with being the best friend of her brothers and falling for their sister.

Chloe is a beautiful, hard working woman with two wildly overprotective brothers. Dante is best friends with one of them. Dante lives in Italy and has a deserved reputation as a player. The whole group heads to Vegas for a bachelor/bachelorette party. The bachelorettes go one way, the bachelors another, but due to a mix-up, Chloe has to call Dante for help. Both are quite drunk, and a wedding chapel seems like a good idea. But when Chloe wakes up the next day, she knows the trouble they are headed for is more than she can handle.

This is book two in the series. I haven't read book one and didn't feel that I needed to. Chloe and Dante have an electric relationship that easily comes across. What I didn't care for was the casualness of some of the relationships and some of the poor decision making. While I don't doubt the reality of it, I didn't enjoy reading about it. I also thought some of the ending came out of nowhere.

Not family friendly due to profanity and sex.

Chloe, her brothers, future sister-in-law and a few friends head to Las Vegas for a combo bachelor/bachelorette party. One of her brother's friends, Dante, who lives in Italy, meet them in Vegas. Chloe, who has been interested in him for years, is determined to get his attention.

After a wild night of partying, Dante and Chloe visit a chapel... but Chloe has next-day regrets. After all, Dante is going back to Italy, isn't he?

Protectiveness and mayhem within this Italian catholic family. Brothers who are very protective, about who she dates. A trip to Vegas for a party changed things. Would that be accepted, it had not been approved.
A delightful fun filled story of a family watching out for her.
Given ARC by Net Galley and Montlake for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

This book family is everything.

The story of Chloe and Dante. Forbidden by the family. Exciting and new and yet longed for over a lifetime.

I loved this book. Thank you @netgalley.

Can't wait to follow this family in the future!

Sit back and pick up the story of old friends. This is the second book in a series but reading as a stand-alone does not spoil the story. Enjoy Chloe and Dante's story as they navigate their way to be a couple. Long time crushes don't always make it to I do and they definitely have many obstacles to derail their chances.
I always enjoy a Catherine Bybee book and this carries on the enjoyment.

What a great 2nd book to this new series! Dante and Chloe are great people separately and so amazing together. It was wonderful getting to know more about Dante and Chloe. I love the D’Angelo family and all of Little Italy in San Diego. Thank you for your wonderful stories Catherine Bybee!

Thank you NetGalley, Montlake, and Catherine Bybee for providing this ARC to review. ~I was given this book and made no commitments to leave my opinions, favorable or otherwi

A cliché brother's best-friend' trope with Bybee's touch for policial mistery lightly to add more background and weight to the narrative. I like a lot Catherine's compelling , light and funny writting, and this book is as good as the Bride's series of her, wich I loved strongly.

Be Your Everything by C, Bybee, published by Montlake, is the second book in the D'Angelo's Series. For best reading experience I recommend to read the books in order.
Chloe is part of a big, happy italo-american family. A family that works in the restaurant business.
And then there's Dante. They're friends since childhod and Chloe always friends only. But that's about to change.
An intriguing story, a beautiful romantic comedy. I fell in insta-love with characters and story, 5 stars.

Chloe + Dante

Chloe has been in love with her older brother's best friend her whole life.
And now he's back in town for her brother's bachelor weekend in Vegas.
Suddenly it seems that Dante is interested in Chloe too.
He obviously has always been interested, but your buddy's little sister is off limits!
But today a lot of alcohol is involved.
And we might wake up with rings on our fingers in the morning.
Someone got married!
And it's not Brooke and Luca - who are supposed to be the groom + bride!

Let the fun times begin...

══════════════════


Another adorable love story in this sweet series.
I just love this whole non-mafia Italian family vibe.
It's all love and food and protecting your little sister! LOL!
Poor Dante never dared to go there - but he always wanted to.
And poor Chloe. She's finally halfway over him and about to travel to Bali to find herself and study lots of yoga.

Nobody in the family can know about this wedding.
Chloe's brothers would kill Dante!
And the mothers would start knitting for the grandbabies!

It won't be easy to get that HEA this time - but we'll get there.
Las Vegas. San Diego. Bali. Italy.
It might take a bit of time and miles... but Dante is not giving up easily.

Adorable romance with lots of funny family moments, lots of traveling and a bit of danger too.

I really need to see this series on TV one day!
The people, the locations....
Can't wait to read Gio's story next!

BE YOUR EVERYTHING was an adorable + funny + sweet + just beautiful Italian love story - I loved reading it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Dante - this one is mine!
