Anniversary dinner started out a bit rough 😂 it’s Monday so everything closed early…but, after a random stop at a bar where we thought they served food a customer and the bartender found out it was our anniversary and started helping us call around. Nicest guy ever even bought us a shot and found a place for us to eat. Both me and Nate were so tired we clearly needed more emotional bandwidth to help us come up with a plan. Special thank you to @garibaldis.gc for being so freaking sweet and accommodating as we scarfed down food so you could close. Truly the best staff ever, I’m sure they were astonished how fast we ate and bounced but we’ve both worked in customer service and we’re like pick a food, order it, go so they can go. #boiseidaho #idaholife #rachelvandyken

Aww our guys did so well this weekend and now we go to the water slides!
Like a proud soccer mom I took all the pics @authorkalinde !! I know this has been years in the making! So excited for you! It’s beautiful 🥰
So I turned in my book and it honestly seemed like the best idea ever before @book.bonanza this week to spend hours on the river with the fam and take a minute, plus we had two epic guides which helps, note that the husband @natevandyken was not one of them…yet. Honestly, a great time! Thank you @bigsmiles_mikey and @mr_josh_j for keeping us safe! Also if you’re in Idaho and decide to take the river on, always have life jackets, at least one guide, water, a dry bag, your cell phone, etc you get the picture. It looks semi tame but certain areas depending on the run you take are tricky and the water is high right now.
🖤COVER REVEAL🖤 I’ve been sitting on this cover way too long! Finally, another mafia stand alone (no need to catch up this kicks off a brand new series of second gen, though of course you’ll see some OGs in there). Nobody is safe… 🖤Cover Design: Jill Sava, Love Affair With Fiction 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟓 To preorder the book → head to @rachvd Bio And you can pre-order the paperback at rvdnoveltees link in bio 🖤🖤🖤 The Five Families thought the war was over. They have no idea, I’m the very beginning. I kidnapped her to prove a point—at knife point, it seemed sharper that way. See what I did there? I used the perfect virginal daughter from one of the most powerful Families in the Cosa Nostra to fix the broken pieces, knowing that in the process—I’d spread hers for the world to see. I would embarrass her, shame her, use her, but I would never touch her… my one and only vow to her father in exchange for his allegiance. The flowers at our wedding would be extravagant—people would watch it like a celebration, she’d live it as her funeral. Call me twisted, but I thrive off her hate, I wouldn’t know what to do if I had her heart—I’m not good with pretty things I’m capable of breaking. I’ll use every single person I can to restore order… to bring about the peace that my Family deserves. But something sinister lurks in the darkness. In the end, it may not be just my Family I save but theirs as well. They say the past comes back to haunt you—that history repeats itself. Bet they never saw this coming. After all, when one Family falls—another will rise. Ciao Bella. The Rise of the De Langes
Launch tomorrow (you’ll be pumped!) Update on life in Rockin Readers (Facebook reader group link in bio) And holding our emotional support pickle from @omg_becky_look_at_those_books 😃 Sorry we’ve been a bit MIA but promise it’s all worth it behind the scenes. Love you guys!
Had a blast these last few days with @toscamusk and the @passionflix crew! Things went down. We survived and had a lot of laughs! If you haven’t streamed The Matchmakers Playbook on Passionflix, what are you waiting for?! It’s my very first book to movie adaptation and they nailed it! Love love love working with all these people! Safe travels everyone. It’s a wrap. Now we nap. Yes, that rhymed. #onset #booktomovieadaptation #passionflixoriginal #naptime #idaholife
Best Mother’s Day ever! Rorik got dedicated today, we are all the tacos, spent time with friends and family, and now we are going for a drive because hello, Boise finally got with the program and fixed the weather. It’s gorgeous! Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms out there, and to my own mama, I love you to the moon and back. You’re such a nice amazing example of what strength and love is @kathleenannjacobsen I want to grow up and be just like you and all the incredibly brave women in our family. Special thank you to our matriarch Grandma Nadine who I’m sure is smiling at us right now, red lipstick, kitten heels and all 💋

Ok so in my defense…it was a long week. 😂 And no I won’t ever live this down. Nate takes me to dinner downtown we get back to the hotel and @bigsmiles_mikey is like I’ll totally meet you in an hour for drinks. I’m paranoid so I set my alarm and lay down fully in let’s watch Bridgerton mode. I wake up and it’s 3 hours later (and no we didn’t party before this, there was tonic water and food so I have zero excuses), and Nate’s like how was that nap? I’m horrified then I check my phone. Mikey and Nate proceeded to leave me on my last few hours of 38 sleeping while they hung out and told random strangers it was my birthday and asked them to say happy birthday on camera. The world now knows I can’t hang and was sleeping!!! So then I’m like not today Satan, get up put my shoes on and say we’re going out (it’s midnight) we end up at this bar with people older than me that’s totally dead bc duh it’s late. At this point Nate’s just dying laughing but we ended up seeing both Mikey and Josh after along with the last pic of some drunk people stumbling into us wanting to get in on the fun. Will I live this down ever? No. Will I always remember my 39th? Yes. Thank you to the random strangers! And to @liquid_boise for being open 😂
@d_tattoo_studio hooked us up! @natevandyken got a great shot with some of our awesome artists who spent hours immersed in our chaos 😂 #tattos #readertrip #welcometoseoul #seoulkoreatrip #filming #docuseries #rachelvandyken
Thank you @colleenhoover for an epic book bonanza end. So pumped to see this private screening of It Ends With Us with the fab @blakelively ❤️❤️🙀
I’m obsessed with enemies to lovers romances but mafia always takes it to a completely chaotic level. What are some of your fave tropes? Unedited Excerpt 🖤🖤🖤 My head made a knocking sound as it collided with the tough bark. Blood pounded in my ears. He wasn’t just pissed, he was livid. Ivan leaned down until we were face to face, he wrapped more and more hair around his fingers until my scalp burned from the sensation of being pinned against the tree and pulled by his hand. “What, makes your blood better than mine?” His green eyes were so unfocused it was hard to breathe. “What makes you think it wouldn’t be so easy for me, to snap this pretty neck, to make it look like an accident? What makes you think,” He leaned in until his teeth grazed the skin below my ear. “That I won’t love it past the point of obsession, the sound, the feel, the loss of life in my hands, followed by the power? What makes you think you wouldn’t feel the same?” He pulled back, my hair slowly fell to my chest from his fingertips. “We’re all monsters Bella, all of us, you’re an even bigger idiot if you don’t believe that your family is any different than mine. The only difference is some of us own our rage—while others pretend it doesn’t exist. But go ahead, smile at mass, shake hands, nod at all the politicians, put on some lipstick, and show your ass, I’m sure that will hide everything, maybe even donate some money to charity, but in the end, you’re the one that has to look in the mirror Bella, you’re the one that has to come to terms with what you are. Ugly to the core. Just. Like. Me.” My teeth clenched so hard my jaw ached, it probably looked like I was angry—but I was sad, so sad, that I was afraid that if I took a breath he’d pounce, he’d be able to tell, he always could when it came to me, he always predicted the broken moments and attacked when he could. The same guy who saved me and kissed me was the same guy who would think nothing twice about killing me and believed I’d do the same thing. The worst part, I thought, as I followed a few feet behind him to the parking lot. He was right. Monsters, after all, stick together. read.rachvd.com/ciao-bella
Entice is FREE! *Mafia Romance *Standalone within a series *Arranged Marriage *Woman Mob Boss *Betrayal Enter alive, leave dead. Chase Winter let the love of his life slip through his fingers and into the hands of his best friend and mafia boss of the Abandonato family. Now that he’s been given a second chance to right a wrong, he refuses to let his own selfishness stand in the way. The only problem? He’s not fully in possession of his heart, so when Mil De Lange — the girl whose innocence he stole and heir to the worst of the worst mafia families in the US — asks him for a favor… he says yes, not realizing that one yes has the power to destroy them all. Mil’s been in love with Chase Winter as long as she can remember, but as the years went by, love turned into hate. Now that he’s agreed to help her, she’s wondering if she made a fatal error. Because Chase isn’t a teenager anymore. He’s a hot-blooded male, bent on owning every part of her, body and soul, and he’s willing to kill anyone in his path who dares stand in the way. Secrets will finally be revealed… but make no mistake, it’s going to take a lot of bloodshed for those truths to be discovered. Loyalties will be tested, lovers reunited, and friendships obliterated in this new standalone in the Eagle Elite world from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken. Link in bio 💋
If you haven’t grabbed the special edition of Fallen Gods yet, this is a great deal from @indigo link in comments!
This one is giving me some OG mafia vibes. I’m loving it! Total standalone new adult mafia romance. Expect a lot of hatred between this couple but for good reason 🖤 QOTD: What’s your current read?
I can’t be the only one who came back from @book.bonanza and days later finally realized I still had the bracelets on from the signing and the premiere 😂 it was such a joy seeing all the authors, readers, bloggers, just everyone. It truly reminded me why this community is so great and why we lose sleep over creating worlds and characters. I had edits due during the week, orders to fulfill, caught a cold, and started 2 new adventures that I have not planned for. Honestly, might keep the bracelets on, this was an epic signing. Thank you so much @colleenhoover for all that you do for the community! Also @blakelively nailed it. It Ends With Us was absolutely incredible, even husband shed some tears. So thrilled for the world to see this masterpiece! #itendswithus #bookbonanza
Finding Five Broken Blades out in the wild! Listen, to be at Target as early as we were and me in dire need of caffeine I couldn’t drink bc it was too hot, I was like if they don’t have this book… But Target pulled through! It’s so stunning! Well done @maicorland and @redtowerbooks Out now 🔪 It’s the season for treason… The king of Yusan must die. The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the god king Joon. He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined…or sold. And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness―from the hired hit man seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance. They can agree on murder. They can agree on treachery. But for these five killers―each versed in deception, lies, and betrayal―it’s not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other…but only one can take the crown. Let the best liar win.
Out in Two WEEKS! 🤗 If you loved The BET you’ll love this spinoff about Travis’s daughter, a total stand alone swoon worthy romcom! Link in Bio 💋 He opened the back and shoved the bags in, then returned to the front and opened his door, looking at me. “Good nap?” My eyes narrowed. “Your smile feels judgmental.” “That’s because it is. Oh, and you had some drool earlier, so I just ended up grabbing an empty coffee cup and holding it under your jaw with one hand. Too bad you can’t recycle spit. You’d have a good thing going.” I yawned. “Not even your sarcasm or insults can ruin my good mood right now.” I stretched my arms over my head. “That was probably the best nap I’ve had in years.” “Naps. I wonder what that’s actually like. You know, resting one’s eyes, not waking up with severe panic attacks and anxiety over everything you have to do that day or what might come tomorrow and—“ He stopped talking. “Sorry, when I’m tired, my censor just dies a slow death in my mouth, and all the words come out.” I was a bit stunned he’d said all of that, so I just shrugged. “It happens to the best of us. What did you get?” Good, solid subject change. “Beans. I figure if I eat enough, I can shove you out of the tent as prey for the wild animals.” “I think your scent would be enough to keep them far, far, away from our campsite. And you know you shouldn’t talk about farting if you want to look marginally attractive to any sex.” He put the SUV into drive. “Oh, don’t worry. The idea is to repel, not attract.” “Animals?” “You.” He grinned. “Now, let’s go set up our tent. I have a spot right near Canon Beach that lets you have tents on the outskirts near the woods. It’s nice, and bonus, I’ve never been mauled by any wild creatures.” @1001darknights_blueboxpress #newrelease #booklover #rachelvandyken #romcom
And we are back! I’m so pumped that people are saying it’s their fave! I loveeeee Ivan so much and I love the dynamics between the five families. If you’re new to my mafia romance know that you’ll laugh a lot, it’s strange, I know, but in all of my research since 2011 one thing I always want to make clear is the absolute loyalty between families and the hilarious relationships they have to have while basically dealing with death on a daily basis. Ciao Bella releases this Tuesday, enjoy your time in the world of Eagle Elite! New readers: The mafia owns a university, the kids run it, very new adult, two generations in, arranged marriage, deaths, blood oaths, laughter, tears, forced proximity.
