UNFORGETTABLE IN LOVE (MAVERICK BILLIONAIRES #7)


Lyssa Spencer is the apple of the Maverick Billionaire's eyes, the sister they adore and vow to protect. But Lyssa isn’t a little girl anymore, and she wishes they could see she’s a grown woman who is perfectly able to take care of herself. Thankfully, her new boss, Cal Danniger, certainly appreciates and respects her abilities. And she appreciates Cal...in every way possible. Yet she can't imagine he’d ever consider dating her, not when her brothers would rip him limb from limb if he so much as looked at her the wrong way. But boy, does she ever want him to look at her exactly that way.


The Mavericks are Cal Danniger’s best friends, as well as his business partners. So when they ask him to watch over Lyssa by giving her a job in the San Francisco Bay Area, of course he agrees. While she impresses him with how smart, dependable, hard-working, and dedicated she is, he’s not at all prepared for the sizzling attraction that takes everything in him to try to fight.

After a passionate and unforgettable night in London that neither can resist, Cal vows never to let it happen again. But he can't stop thinking about her...or wanting her. Between a secret Lyssa is keeping from him, and with the Maverick Billionaires hellbent on protecting her at all costs, do they have any chance of finding a future together?

UNFORGETTABLE IN LOVE is part of Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully’s bestselling series about The Maverick Billionaires. While it can easily be read as a standalone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books too.

Liza's Review:

Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully gave readers the book we have all been waiting for with Unforgettable in Love. Finally, Lyssa Spencer not only gets her story, but readers have another sexy billionaire to fall madly in love with as well.

Lyssa Spencer is the little sister to all the Mavericks, so she is basically off limits to any man they are friends with, and Cal Danniger is no exception when it comes to the Mavericks. However, Lyssa and Cal have the most incredible chemistry and they so get one another. I loved that Cal saw Lyssa as a strong and capable woman in a way no one in her family have even acted like they saw. I loved Cal and Lyssa as a couple so much from page one. I didn't love Cal was so distant with Lyssa at times even because he felt guilty about what each of the Mavericks would say. I could feel how much they wanted to be with one another and it almost broke my heart when Cal was trying to be so brave and stay away.

Lyssa has been one of my favorite characters in the series, and I knew she would have to have a really strong hero to take be able to stand up to all her brothers and not take any of their crap. While Cal freaked out longer than I expected, I still love him as a hero. He had some baggage from his past, so I gave him a pass on some of his behavior. I could feel how much he loved Lyssa, and I knew he was only trying to make everyone happy. Part of what I loved about Lyssa and Cal's relationship was their age difference. He is 20 years older than Lyssa, and yet they were absolutely perfect for each other. I seriously had all the happy feels for them, and loved their emotional story.

Unforgettable in Love was such an amazing addition to the Maverick Billionaires series of books, and I have high hopes with some of the new characters we met in this story, that we will get more stories in the future. Ms. Andre and Ms. Skully once again gave their readers a sexy and emotional story that will pull readers in from the very first page.

CAPTIVATING IN LOVE (MAVERICK BILLIONAIRES #6)

Gideon Jones came back from war a changed man. Though the Maverick Billionaires claim he’s one of their own, he knows he doesn't deserve to be part of their tightly knit unit. Just like he doesn't deserve Rosie Diaz—an amazing mother…and an utterly captivating woman that he can't stop dreaming about.

Rosie Diaz pulled herself out of the foster care system and made a great life for herself while raising Jorge, the son she adores. Only one thing is missing—a good man, one she can respect and love with her whole heart. A man exactly like her best friend’s older brother Gideon.

When Rosie and Gideon agree to take care of Matt and Ari’s son, Noah, while the couple is on their honeymoon, they have no idea of the havoc two matchmaking little boys can create. Not to mention the steamy kisses that Rosie and Gideon can’t help but steal from each other as their connection deepens and grows. But when mother and son are threatened, Gideon will stop at nothing to protect them. Will he finally believe that he truly is Maverick material…and worthy of Rosie and Jorge’s love?

Liza's Review:

Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully have done it once again with Captivating in Love. I absolutely love the Maverick Billionaires series of books and am so happy to see the Maverick family extend to friends and family members.

I knew when we first met Ari's brother Gideon I wanted to know more about him and couldn't wait to get his book. I couldn't have picked a better heroine for him than Rosie Diaz. Single mom to Jorge and foster sister to Ari, Rosie is such a strong woman. She has wanted Gideon from the moment she set eyes on him, and seems to understand him in a way that I felt surprised Gideon from the beginning. Gideon is extremely standoffish, yet when he is with his nephew Noah and Rosie's son Jorge, you could see glimpses of the real Gideon.

I loved Gideon and Rosie as a couple.They both had things from their pasts that gave them each pause when looking to the future. Rosie was a teenage single mom, whose ex dumped her and ran when she got pregnant and Gideon is still dealing with guilt from losing track of Ari after joining the Army to help support her and their mom, as well as PSTD from serving. I loved how Rosie just got Gideon and without realizing, Gideon became so very protective of Rosie and Jorge. Their chemistry was amazing and I had all the happy sighs seeming them together.

I also loved Jorge and Noah being front and center in this story. Those two boys were so adorable and their excitement and happiness literally leaped off of the pages. I found myself absolutely laughing out loud at their actions. I felt like they both helped Gideon come out of his shell right along with Rosie.

Captivating in Love was such an amazing story and I can't wait to read more books in this series. I highly recommend this story to fans of romances filled with love, friendship, laughter, and family...the one you were born from or made yourself.

WILD IN LOVE

Daniel Spencer is proud of the billion-dollar business he’s built, but there are few things he enjoys more than creating something with his bare hands. Lake Tahoe has everything he’s looking for—the lakefront cabin he’s building for family and friends to enjoy, crystal clear water and lush green mountains. Everything except the perfect woman to share it with. Until Tasha Summerfield literally falls into his arms.

After learning that her family has lied to her for pretty much her entire life, Tasha flees San Francisco for the mountains. As she tries to bury her heartache by hammering her dilapidated cabin back together, the last thing she expects is to fall for a sexy billionaire. But when a storm blows in and she desperately needs help, there is Daniel, waiting with open arms.

Tasha believes Daniel deserves a woman from a perfect, loving, tight-knit family like his. Yet how can she possibly resist a man this sweet and generous…who looks positively sinful in his tool belt? With every delicious taste of him, Tasha finds it harder to quell the hopes and dreams she thought were crushed forever. But when it turns out that Daniel’s family isn’t picture perfect after all, will the truth set them both free? Or will it destroy any chance they ever had?

Liza's Review:

Wild in Love is another winner in the Maverick Billionaires series from Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully. I've wanted Daniel's story pretty much since we met the Mavericks in the first book and have to say his book was more than worth the wait.

I loved getting to know Daniel better in Wild in Love. He has always been such a hard worker as he like all the other Mavericks have always wanted to take care of his parents. His home improvement stores and do-it-yourself videos have pretty much made him a household name and recognizable on site. That is until he meets his new neighbor Tasha Summerfield. Of course the fact that he is saving her from falling off her roof could have been the reason she didn't immediately recognize Daniel.

Tasha has spent  weeks restoring the old cabin she purchased after learning her father and brother had been lying to her about their careers. My heart absolutely broke for Tasha as she struggled to find her way again while starting over. I loved how strong she was to teach herself how to do all her own home repairs and remodeling reading and watching You Tube videos, mostly by Daniel Spencer. I have to say I loved that Daniel pretty much knew Tasha was the woman for him from the moment they met. He didn't force himself on Tasha, but made sure he was available if she wanted him or needed him around. There was a connection from the beginning and I loved watching it grow.

As Tasha had just had her world turned upside down by the people she should have been able to trust the most, I loved seeing her begin to trust again the more time she and Daniel spent together. The attraction was there from the moment they met, but the trust was the most important part of them making their relationship work. I really think with everything Tasha had been through, she never would have acted on her attraction to Daniel without trust. I knew as soon as they made love for the first time this couple was in it together for the long haul. I've loved each of the couples in this series and honestly have to say that Daniel and Tasha might be my favorite of all. There was just something about them that pulled at my heart and gave me all the feels.

Wild in Love is a beautiful romance that will pull at all your emotions. This series focuses so much on family and all the aspects that go along with it. I loved seeing both Daniel and Tasha grow along with their families over the course of this story. Wild in Love hit on all my emotions and had me wanting the story not to end. I'm happy to say we will have more Maverick Billionaires books in the future and I can't wait to read each and every one of them.

FEARLESS IN LOVE (MAVERICK BILLIONAIRES #3)

After growing up dirt poor in a seedy Chicago neighborhood, Matt Tremont seemingly has it all now—brains, brawn, and billions. And most importantly, Noah, his five-year-old son, the one good outcome of a disastrous relationship that destroyed his last ounce of trust. The only thing he’s lacking is the perfect nanny for his son. And Ariana Jones is absolute perfection. Utterly enchanting. Completely fascinating. And totally off limits. 

Like a match made in heaven, this is Ari's dream job. Swallowed up in the foster care system after losing her brother and mother, Ari has always dreamed of family. She showers five-year-old Noah with all the love she’s kept bottled up inside. Love she could also offer to her gorgeous billionaire boss—if only he weren’t the very last man she could ever hope to have. 

But when sizzling sparks of attraction turn into a forbidden, sinfully hot night of pleasure, will Ari’s love be enough to make Matt forget the past and love fearlessly?

Liza’s Review:

I absolutely adore The Maverick Billionaires series from Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully. I seem to fall more in love with the characters the more time I spend with them. While I love the romance that occurs in each book, the time with the Mavericks always gives me all the feels.

I knew from the moment Ariana (Ari) came to work for Matt they wouldn't be able to keep their hands off each other for long. Their attraction to one another was just so strong. Add in that Ari loves Matt's son Noah every bit as much as Matt, and I knew Matt was a goner. While I hated that both Matt and Ari had both had horrible childhoods, his due to verbally abusive parents, and Ari due to ending up in the foster system, it did give them both a bit of a common background to build upon. I loved that Ari loved Noah every bit as much as if he were her own child and saw all his potential, even as a 5 year old.

Matt and Ari had the most amazing chemistry. I absolutely fell in love with them as a couple. I loved they had trouble keeping their hands off each other when Noah was around. I did worry that Matt would freak out about them being together, and sadly initially my fears were realized. However, I knew in my heart that Matt wouldn't last long keeping his hands off Ari. I loved that she got him so well that she was willing to be there for him any way he needed, be it friend, nanny for Noah or girlfriend. I also loved that all the other Mavericks totally were ready to kick Matt's ass if he ever really hurt Ari. She fit into their family like she was always meant to be there.

Fearless in Love was a wonderful addition to The Maverick Billionaires series from Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully. I fall more in love with this series with each new book. I love we are given strong romances and family time in each book. I love that we get to spend time with the entire Mavericks family in each book, and am already counting down until the release of the next book in the series.
