Delivering Dante: Made Marian Series Book 6 Kindle Edition

Lucy Lennox has this amazing way of delivering a story that has heart and depth, real emotions and obstacles to overcome, overflow your heart with love and make you feel all the feels characters, and real laugh out loud my face hurts from smiling so much humour all without being too down in the doldrums angsty or being too the sugar hurts my teeth sweet. This series, and Delivering Dante, is perfect for those who want some angst but not to be dragged down. Who want to smile and laugh but be tempered with the down to earth real life issues. Who enjoy a bit of silly all in good fun without it being too over the top beyond belief crazy. Who want to fall madly, deeply, ridiculously in love with the sweetest, kindest, most adorable guys you can possibly think of. Who want to be so engrossed in a story that you can't put it down because you must read it all. Who are prepared to be so overcome with love, smiles and feels you just don't know what to do with yourself when you reach "the end" and find you're just staring blankly for a little while wondering what to do with yourself now until you eventually realize all you can do is just start re-reading from Borrowing Blue on until Delivering Dante's audio book is out.I finished reading this yesterday and I'm still in a happy love stupor trying to pull myself together. As the blurb mentions Delivering Dante can technically be read as a standalone but you're going to miss out on so much if you don't read the rest first. For those of you who have prepare for all kinds of squees and swooning a bit after the halfway mark!Did I fall in love? Head over healsWould I re-read? Absolutely! over and over and then when the audio comes out I'll be listening over and over.Were there moments- sad, funny, sweet, fantasy fueling- that I replay? I managed to stop daydreaming long enough to write this but just barely :)Was it worth the money? I've received each book as an arc, and I've bought each book anyway. This book is no exception.

I really like this series but this book was, in a word, ridiculous. The potential for another good story was huge. Unlike the other books I had a hard time finding any redeeming characteristics in Dante. He was all over the place rationalizing decisions that made no sense. For someone with a master's and years of therapy his immaturity was startling. The elderly woman were a bit of comic relief in past books, but in this one they behaved like spoiled selfish brats with no sense of decorum. Sorry but this story was so far into the realm of the unbelievable and expected the reader to supress rational thought. I liked the others but not this one.

I started this series a little while ago, but with the holidays and catching up with some of my other authors, I left this book to read a little later. To be honest, at first I was so scare that I wasn’t going to like this because Dante is described as the youngest Marian, and thought his “Angel” was going to be someone older, and I’m not into big age gap couples that border in pedophilia, but thank god this wasn’t like that. AJ and Dante are perfect for each other (and only 2 years apart) and the story of how they met and meet again is so romantic. I know this is going to be a very vague description but I loved everything; the Marians being their mischievous and wonderful selfs, mostly aunt Tilly, the plot, the sarcastic humor, the way we can still see the other couples from past books being happy and living their lives better than we imagined, just everything! and I also know I’ve said this many times before (I should expand my vocabulary a little more) but can’t find words to describe how much I enjoy this book. If I didn’t know Lucy Lennox was one of my favorite authors, after reading this series she would definitely be on the top 5 of that list.

Ive been slowly reading my way through the Made Marian Series and I've loved them all. This 6 book in the Series brings back a lot of the previous book couples along with the rest of the Marian clan. I loved the story and the issues it brings up are important, but the humor prevents it from being a downer. Trigger warnings are appropriate, as the author does go into some detail of the horrible past of the main character Dante. But the plot of this book is bracketed by some pretty funny moments that prevent the book from being too dark. This is part of a romantic comedy Series, or maybe a romantic dramedy Series, so I am sure, the author didn't want to be too depressing. The deep plot of this book could have just been one heartbreaking scene after another but it wasn't. I came away from it with a sense of peace and happiness. Some people might not be too happy with the end as it didn't explain the fall out from the big confrontation but it felt complete to me.

Swooooon! Gah! Dante! I love him!This was the perfect balance of light and dark. I loved the sweetness of it all and i broke my heart at the darkness.Dante's past broke me. The thought's that kids really go through what he did is soul destroying. The pain of his past at the beginning of the story molded the man he was. Painfully shy and insecure he was such a sweetie but so tormented and gripped by fear. But as the story goes on he finally sheds the past but keeps the best part of it with him. AJ his angel. I loved seeing him grow. It was so heartwarming to read. I was rooting for him from start to finish and boy did he win!What a guy AJ was. Pretty heroic if you ask me. I only hope that there are people out there doing exactly what he did. Rescue. I loved how he always kept Dante in his mind over the years and when they finally met again you could feel he already loved him. His protective nature warmed me to him so much and so did his strength to hold Dante up when he was needed but also to step back when Dante needed to stand up for himself.Bit gushy about this one. I kinda feel like i needed a hug after being put through the emotional wringer. I loved it so much.As required of course the family pops up to help with the emotion. Gotta say i needed Aunt Tilly and Granny to pick me up! One of the best families you'll ever read!LOVE this series! I can't tell you how fantastic it is enough. The love, the family feel, the stories and triumphs, the laughs and tears and the heartbreak but most of all the overwhelming wins for each of the characters. Ohhh plus lots of hot hot hot sheet burning panty wetting loving scenes are 100% worth the investment!

Dante's story is one of the ones I have been waiting for and this book doesn't disappoint.Rescued at aged 15 from a truly horrible home life Dante has become an advocate for helping children like himself. He was a broken teen when the Marian's took him in and made him one of the family. Dante always remembered the Angel who rescued him but doesn't realise that person is AJ, who aged 17 rescued a beaten and broken Dante from his religious fathers attempts at conversion therapy.Secrets come to light when Dante's biological father runs for political office and its up to Dante, AJ and the Marian's to stop it from happening.Is Dante strong enough to face his reverend father and tell the world his story. You will have to read the book to find out.Recommended

Dante and a j stole my heart completely I loved them so muchFollowing their journey my emotions were everywhere I felt like i was with them every step of the wayDante and a j broke my heart at times but also put it back together againEven when a j and Dante was apart you could still feel everything they were going throughDelivering Dante was such a beautifully written story

This is the usual brilliant Made Marian book by Lucy Lennox. Dante and AJ are amazing and Aunt Tilly is an absolute legend. Seriously, she's so hilarious she needs her own book!!

As always Ms Lennox doesn't disappoint! Aunt Tilly & Granny are, as always, hysterically funny as well as totally scandalous lol. The family dynamics, throughout the Made Marian series, are amazing and incredibly sweet. Unsure if Simone has a story or if this was the final book in the series - totally devastated if is! But I look forward to reading pretty much anything else Ms Lennox writes
