RATING: ALL THE HEARTS!! <3



Egomaniac is a story that highlights all the things Ms. Keeland does oh-so well, her dynamic writing a beautiful amalgamation of humour, friendship, love, toe-curling passion, and the fondest of heartaches.

Sometimes what you’re looking for comes when you’re not looking at all. - Unknown

Emerie is a woman whose admirable strength of will in the face of adversity holds us captivated, and though she has been conned out of all of her money and has no office space for her marriage counseling practice, she continually tries her best to turn tragedy into triumph, creating an instant camaraderie with us. Drew is a sexy blend of confident, sophisticated divorce attorney and dirty-talking, alpha-male with an unassuming compassionate man beneath all the bad boy charisma—an entirely irresistible man who has us swooning left and right.

“I’d go three hundred and sixty-four days thirsty if it meant I got to drink you in for just one.”

Individually and professionally, both Emerie and Drew could not be more of a paradox—she’s fiery to his finesse, and where she works to keep marriages together, he breaks them apart—yet together they’re nothing short of stunning. The development of their relationship, both physical and emotional, is magnificently written and their progression from adversaries to lovers is not only amusing thanks to their hilarious banter, but also euphorically satisfying and sinfully tantalizing.

“Are you saying you’ll allow me to add color to your life?”
“I’m saying you already have. You’re the red in my black and white world.”

Overall, Egomaniac is hugely entertaining, a story that is cleverly witty, sexy, and touching in equal measure and one that will undoubtedly resonate with fans of Vi Keeland and those new to her work.
