BELLA ANDRE'S "SUMMER OF LOVE" BLOG TOUR: CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE ~ REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY


I am so thrilled to be a part of The Look of Love Blog Tour, hosted by BookTrib and Media Muscle I am a huge fan of Bella Andre and The Sullivans Series, and am so happy that this fantastic series is now becoming available in print. Even better, the new print edition comes with never-seen-before content! Today's stop celebrates book three in The Sullivans, Can't Help Falling in Love. Be sure to enter to win a copy!
Can't Help Falling in Love (The Sullivans, #3)Series: The Sullivans #3
Category/Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Harlequin Mira
Publication Date: 7/30/13

How much is worth risking?

Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco, but he knows better than to risk giving his heart again. Especially not to the woman he saved from a deadly apartment fire;and can't stop thinking about.

Megan Harris owes everything to the heroic firefighter who saved her and her daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her pilot husband, she has vowed to never suffer through lovin;and losing;a man with a dangerous job again.

But when Gabe and Megan meet again, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter;but also his sweetly sensual kisses, challenging her to risk everything she's been guarding for so long?

I reviewed Can't Help Falling in Love in January. Here's what I had to say...
Okay, that's it. I am officially declaring Gabe Sullivan as the Sexiest Sullivan of Them All. Wow. I dug Chase, hardcore, and really liked Marcus, but Gabe is hands down my new favorite Sullivan sibling. But...but... there are still two brothers to go, and the all promise to bring the heat, so we'll see.

As you might be able to deduce from my enthusiastic intro, I love Can't Help Falling in Love. Gabe and Megan were a realistic, and romantically portrayed relationship. Gabe is an average guy, as average as anyone in his family can be, at least, a firefighter who thrives on helping those in danger. When he rescues Megan and her daughter from a deadly fire, the sparks fly instantly. But Gabe has made it a rule to not get involved with rescuees, and Megan, whose husband died in a plane crash, has taken a stance against falling in love with another risk taker. With the help of her precocious daughter and a Sullivan sister, Gabe and Megan are pushed together and soon find that the heart always trump the fear.

The Sullivan Series is quickly becoming a favorite go-to series when I need a fast shot of swoony romance. The stories keep getting better and I find myself opening and devouring each book quicker than the last. Can't Help Falling in Love was a perfect way to spend my afternoon.

Favorite Quote:

  After another long kiss good night, and another sweet I love you, he was halfway down the hall when she called out.
  "You never told me how the story ends, Gabe."  She held her breath, waiting for his response.
  His expression held all the love and desire she knew he felt for her.
  "It doesn't."

    BELLA ANDRE'S "SUMMER OF LOVE" BLOG TOUR: FROM THIS MOMENT ON ~ REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY


    I am so thrilled to be a part of The Look of Love Blog Tour, hosted by BookTrib and Media Muscle I am a huge fan of Bella Andre and The Sullivans Series, and am so happy that this fantastic series is now becoming available in print. Even better, the new print edition comes with never-seen-before content! Today's stop celebrates book two in The Sullivans, From This Moment On. Be sure to enter to win a copy!



    From This Moment On (The Sullivans, #2)Series: The Sullivans #2
    Category/Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
    Publisher: Harlequin Mira
    Publication Date: 6/25/13



    Expanded Edition! More Story! More Sullivans!Fans of Bella Andre's Sullivan Series will love this long-awaited print edition of FROM THIS MOMENT ON. It features a longer, more-detailed story with all the emotion and sensuality that readers love. Not to be missed!

    Just one night

    Marcus Sullivan has always been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings when their father died. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned turns out to be a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.

    Known throughout the world by only one name, Nico, pop songstress Nicola Harding is seen as the ultimate sex kitten. But it's all a lie. After a terrible betrayal she refuses to let anyone else close enough to find out who she really is, or to hurt her again. Especially the gorgeous stranger at the bar.

    One night is all Nicola and Marcus agree to share with each other. But instead, a deeper connection than either of them could have anticipated begins.
     
     
    I read From This Moment On in January. Here's what I had to say... 
     
     
    Having finished The Look of Love, diving straight into From This Moment On, I was expecting book two to have a very similar story. And yes, you have a gorgeous, honorable Sullivan brother falling hard and fast for a great woman, but this book felt completely different. And I like that.

    In From This Moment On, the focus is on the oldest and most responsible sibling, Marcus. He is a man who is ruled by true commitment in all that he does, but that has left him a lonely man. Seeking a one night stand, Marcus steps out of his comfort zone and into a wild nightclub. There he meets Nicola, and the two are instantly attracted to one another. Nicola has a secret, though. She's a world famous pop star. And she's unhappy with the way she is perceived in the media. So now we have two people who are at crossroads, both lonely, and against all odds they find what they need in each other.

    I truly enjoyed From This Moment On. The relationship, while quick moving, felt true and tackled real life problems. I love the Sullivans. I can't wait to start book three.
     
     
     
    Favorite Quote:

     
    She'd had his body from the first, but he'd been so sure about his heart--his soul--were safe. That no woman could possibly touch him.  So then, why did being with her like this touch him as nothing had before?
      And when, he had to helplessly wonder, had hot sex with his beautiful pop star turned into making love, out on a beach beneath a sun that felt like it was shining just for them?

    BELLA ANDRE SUMMER OF LOVE BLOG TOUR ~ THE LOOK OF LOVE

    I am so thrilled to be a part of The Look of Love Blog Tour, hosted by BookTrib and Media Muscle. I am a huge fan of Bella Andre and The Sullivans Series, and am so happy that this fantastic series is now becoming available in print. Even better, the new print edition comes with never-seen-before content!


    The Look of Love (The Sullivans, #1)Series: The Sullivans #1
    Category/Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
    Publisher: Harlequin Mira
    Publication Date: 5/28/13

    Expanded Edition! More Story! More Sullivans!Fans of Bella Andre's Sullivan Series will love this long-awaited print edition of THE LOOK OF LOVE. It features a longer, more-detailed story with all the emotion and sensuality that readers love. Not to be missed!

    Sometimes one look is all it takes

    Chloe Peterson has vowed never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Her reasons are as vivid as the bruises on her cheek. So when her car skids off a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced the gorgeous guy who rescues her must be too good to be true.

    As a successful international photographer, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women. He's satisfied with his life—until he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley.

    With every loving look—and every sinfully sweet caress—the attraction between them sizzles, and Chloe can't help but wonder if she's met the man who may be the exception to her rule….

     
    I read The Look of Love in January. Here's what I had to say... 
    So, I've finally met the infamous Sullivans siblings. Well, just Chase, but still.  Since I finally started reading Adult Romance again over the summer, readers have been recommending Bella Andre's books, this series in specific. I'd only read one of her books Love Me, and adored it. I wanted to more of her books and to learn what the fuss over The Sullivans is all about.

    I get it now. What Andre delivers in The Look of Love is a sweet romance with a lot of heart. Chase Sullivan was an honorable hero. A man who will go out of his way to help Chloe, offer her anything she needs, and....falls head over heels, instantly in love. It was sort of nice to see the man fall in love before his leading lady. And boy, he sure gives Chloe a multitude of reasons to trust him, like him, and fall in love right back.

    The Look of Love was just right. The storyline moved quickly, necessary because of the length, but all the pieces seemed to fall well into place. I truly enjoyed the story and found it to be a great escape.


    Favorite Quote:

      Chase Sullivan hadn't realized that tonight his life was going to change forever.
      But it just had.

      And, amazingly--shockingly--he wasn't the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he was gearing up for a different fight altogether...for Chloe's heart.  ~18%
