HOLD ON TO MY HEART (MAINE SULLIVANS #4)

Ashley Sullivan’s whole world changed when she got pregnant at seventeen. After the father of her child ditched her and their son, she bypassed college, shelved her plans to see the world, and went straight to managing the family café in Bar Harbor, Maine. For the next eleven years, she poured her entire heart into raising her amazing son, Kevin. But when her brother invites her to the grand opening of his new hotel in Vienna, she decides it's finally time to experience a little of the adventure she still secretly longs for. She isn’t planning on doing anything crazy, of course. Especially not something as wild and reckless as ending up in bed with one of the sexiest music superstars in the world...

Nash Hardwin has been on the road full time since leaving his rough childhood behind when he was sixteen. Beloved by millions of fans around the world, he’s never had a real home and never trusted anyone enough to fall in love. Not until he meets Ashley Sullivan. After she unexpectedly steps in to help him out of a very tricky situation, he ends up having the best day of his life with her in Vienna. Ashley is sweet, beautiful and intelligent...with the biggest heart of anyone he’s ever met.

When their perfect day together inevitably turns into an even more perfect night, there’s no denying that they make incredibly beautiful music together. But is there even the slightest chance that the small-town single mom and the road warrior rock star can make things work? Or will the realities of lives that are polar opposites make it impossible to hold on to each other’s hearts?

HOLD ON TO MY HEART is part of Bella Andre's USA Today and New York Times #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans.

Liza's Review:

Bella Andre has done it again with Hold On To My Heart, her newest release in the Maine Sullivans series. I've wanted Ashley Sullivan's story from the moment she appeared on the page. I knew she deserved an amazing partner, and Nash Hardwin was just the man for the job.

Ashley Sullivan is a single mom of an 11-year-old son, who hasn't really ever traveled anywhere since she got pregnant in high school and her boyfriend basically abandoned both her and their son. Ashley was lucky enough to always have her family to support her and now runs the family cafe and shops, and really loves her life. When she gets the chance to go to Vienna for the opening of her brother Brandon's new hotel, she jumps at it, and makes all the plans to see everything she can in the 2 days she will be away. However, when word leaks out that Nash Hardwin is at the hotel, Brandon needs Ashley's help to get Nash away unnoticed, and her plans are pretty much thrown out the window.

I loved Nash from the moment he appeared on the page. He saw Ashley as a woman and not just a mom or sister as her family saw her. He seemed to just get her from the moment they met, and I loved that about him. He was also very up front about his past and the bad choices he made when he was younger. I loved the chemistry between Nash and Ashley, which was off the charts HOT! What I loved even more is they could talk to each other like old friends from the moment they met and each could be themselves. That type of connection is magical, and they had it in spades.

Ashley and Nash really were pretty opposite, so when Nash showed up in Bar Harbor, I had all the happy feels. I loved their chemistry and connection so very much. I also loved that Nash was super accepting of Ashley's son Kevin from the moment they met, and instinctively included Kevin in plans and treated Kevin as his own person. I loved that Kevin and Nash became friends so quickly. The only frustrating part of the entire story was Kevin's dad, Josh, being back in the picture...only when he felt like it. I really wanted to throat punch Josh more than a few times. He has never done right by Ashley or Kevin, but wanted to stir up trouble once Ashley finally found someone to love and who loves her. 

Hold On To My Heart was such a beautiful story filled with laughter, tears, and an incredible romance. I always say I'll savor each new book by Ms. Andre so it will last longer, and once again I ended up reading her newest story pretty much in one day. Ms. Andre pulls the reader into the story from page one and makes it almost impossible to stop reading until the end. I fell in love with the Sullivan clan from the very first book, and have loved each new installment every bit as much.

Liza's Review:

When You Kiss Me is the latest release in the Maine Sullivans series from Bella Andre. The Sullivan family absolutely is one of my favorite series of characters ever, and I love there are so many branches of this family tree. When You Kiss Me is Lola Sullivan's story, and I absolutely couldn't put this book down!

Lola Sullivan is a beautiful voluptuous woman. Most men have only looked at her and seen what she looked like without ever caring to learn more. As this has happened to her most of her life, she is very careful around men and very slow to trust anything at face value. Duncan Lyman has his own trust issues thanks to his older brother, and is still working on righting the wrongs his brother did 5 years ago. When he meets Lola, he is absolutely drawn to her, and that Duncan saw Lola's inner beauty shining through. I loved neither could really take their eyes off the other and they didn't want to be apart from one another long.

I knew Duncan delaying telling Lola about his past with his brother could come back to bite him in the ass, just not quite in the way that it did. I also understood how hurt, upset, and angry Lola was, especially as she shared things from her past she hadn't even shared with her sisters. Lola had been burned in the past, and I hated she felt doubts about her instincts. Lola is such a passionate woman, and I loved even in her anger, she started seeing things didn't add up as they should for Duncan to be the bad guy.

Something that runs pretty true for many of the Sullivan offspring is knowing almost from the moment they meet "the one" they have meet their other half. Lola and Duncan connected from the moment they first saw each other, and I absolutely felt a happy sigh when they both struggled to stop staring. Add in their smoking hot chemistry, while trying to wait a bit to make love, and I was hooked on them as a couple, even when things looked bleak. I have mad love for Lola and Duncan as a couple.

Bella Andre has once again given me a beautiful, sexy, and emotional romance right when I needed it. Between all the various branches of the Sullivan family, this is the 21st book in the series, and they continue to entertain and keep me coming back for more with each new installment.

THERE GOES MY HEART (SULLIVANS #20)

Rory Sullivan, a renowned artisan woodworker, has no plans to fall in love anytime soon. Especially not with Zara Mirren, who shares a converted warehouse space with him in Bar Harbor, Maine. While she is a brilliant maker—the eyeglass frames she designs are practically works of art—everything else about her drives him bonkers. The way she’s always whistling cheesy pop songs off-key. The way her half-drunk cups of coffee litter every available countertop. And especially the way he can’t take his eyes off her whenever she enters a room…or stop thinking about her after she leaves. 

Zara loves everything about her career—designing and manufacturing bright, fun glasses frames fulfills both the creative and technical sides of her brain. The only downside to coming to work is bumping into irritating, far-too-handsome-for-his-own-good Rory Sullivan…even if she secretly enjoys the zingers they throw at each other. On the plus side, thinking up new ways to torment Rory on a daily basis has helped Zara stop dwelling on the fact that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with her stepsister.  

But when Zara learns that her ex and her stepsister have just become engaged, she’s doubly stunned by Rory’s suggestion to go as her pretend boyfriend to their engagement party, in a one-night truce where they’ll be a team rather than adversaries. Only, when it turns out that the sparks between them disguise a deeper passion—and bigger emotional connection—than either has ever known, will both Rory and Zara end up losing their hearts to the last person they could have imagined?

Liza's Review:

I loved every single moment of There Goes My Heart written by Bella Andre. Zara and Rory's beautiful story was a wonderful addition to the amazing Sullivan series. I was pulled in from page one and didn't want to put my kindle down until I finished their story. This was one of the most beautiful and emotional stories I've ever read from Bella Andre and it is now my new favorite.

So Rory and Zara have always had a bit of a tumultuous relationship, though I wouldn't call them actual enemies, they really weren't friends before this story started. While both artists, they seemed to rub each other the wrong way most of the time. However, when Zara learns her stepsister is now engaged to her ex, Rory steps up to go as her pretend boyfriend to the engagement party. I knew in my heart there was something special between these two besides animosity. I loved they each seemed to open up to one another about things in their pasts neither had really shared with anyone else. Rory continued to blame himself for his ex having an accident after they broke up, and Zara still blames herself for her mom's death. I loved they each could so easily see how the other wasn't in the wrong, yet it required much introspection to see it about themself.

Rory and Zara had the best chemistry. They connected so well from the moment they shared their first kiss. OMG it only got hotter from there. I loved they pretty much wanted to spend all their time together after. I honestly fell in love with them as a couple right along with them realizing they had fallen in love. I loved that Rory's family accepted Zara so quickly into their circle. I won't lie; I bawled like a baby when Zara was with Rory's mom and got so emotional about her own mom not being alive. So freaking emotional!!! Add in what Rory does to show Zara how much he loves her, and I was seriously crying like a baby. I loved this beautiful and emotional ride.

There Goes My Heart was an absolutely amazing story! Bella Andre has been an auto-buy author for me from the moment I read the very first book in the Sullivan series, and I've never missed another book. Ms. Andre writes beautiful romances that pull at my heart every single time. While there are always sweet moments between the couples in her books, there is also plenty of heat as well. There Goes My Heart is another winner from Bella Andre and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Liza's Review:

This book took me to my happy place. Single dad with an adorable baby meets the woman of his dreams and she feels the same way. I can't tell you how many times I happy sighed as I read Your Love is Mine.

Cassie Sullivan is such a strong and sweet character. She was raised by strong parents to believe she can do anything she sets her mind to, and has become a candy confection artist. I really wish I could have seen pictures of some of her designs as they sounded amazing. She has the biggest heart and such a positive outlook on life and she made me smile each time she appeared on the page.

Flynn Stewart was not as lucky when he was growing up. He was raised by abusive and addicted parents and he was the one who had to protect his younger sister Sarah. When he escaped his hometown at 17 and reinvented himself with a new name and background, he never thought his past would meet up with the present. However, when his sister dies and he becomes his niece’s guardian, his past and present collides and he must find a safe place to protect Ruby.

Babies in books can be hit or miss with me. Bella Andre knocked it out of the park with Ruby. She was super cute and in just the right number of scenes to make the story work. I loved that Cassie fell for both Ruby and Flynn from the moment she met them both. 

I loved seeing Flynn and Cassie fall in love. Cassie knew from the moment they met, while Flynn fought his feelings because of his past. I love before they became serious, Flynn shared his past with Cassie. I would have had an issue with half-truths being between them honestly.

I loved how Flynn started seeing his past in a different light after opening up about his past with Cassie. As he wrote his new screenplay, which was completely different from anything he had written before, he became more open and couldn’t hold back his love for either Ruby or Cassie. I hated he didn’t feel originally he was good enough for Cassie because of his past; it pretty much broke my heart. 

Your Love is Mine was such an amazing start to the Maine Sullivan part of the family. Much as with all the other Sullivan family members, I loved each one as soon as I met them. After 19 books with this amazing family, I hope we never have to say goodbye to this series. Ms. Andre once again gives her readers a beautiful story filled with lots of love, romance and family. I highly recommend every single book in this series!

Liza's Review:

I adore the Married in Malibu series of books from Lucy Kevin. Each book comes out just when I'm ready for a sweet and emotional romance. The Moonlight Wedding was a wonderful addition to the series.

I love both Meg and Lucas so much and couldn't see these two with anyone else but each other. Yes they are pretty much polar opposites, but there was a perfect connection from the moment they met for the first time and I fell in love with this couple from the beginning. The fact that Lucas and Meg's vision of the music video meshed so easily showed me they were right for each other from the very beginning. I loved how Lucas seemed to understand Meg on a level no one else ever had before in her life.   I also love that Meg became even stronger than she already was once Lucas showed up in her life.

Meg's high society mother drove me absolutely bonkers with how high handed she was when it came to Meg. I have to say Meg put up with her mother's demands and belittling for way too long in my opinion. Meg is such an amazing character and I love that thanks to Lucas's love and support, she has no issues standing up for herself and Lucas when it was needed the most.

I know with each new installment of the Married in Malibu series I'm guaranteed a happily ever after and really fast and sweet read. Lucy Kevin is the perfect author for readers who love sweet, emotional, and fast-paced stories. The Moonlight Wedding is my new favorite in this series of stories.

Liza's Review:

I loved watching Lori and Grayson fall in love the first time, and have to say getting to spend time with them in Falling in Love All Over Again only made me love them even more as a couple.

I love how Lori and Grayson are pretty much opposites in almost every way possible, yet are absolutely perfect together as a couple.  I honestly think their differences are what really makes them work so well as a couple. You can feel how much they love each other as you read each word of this story. I loved so much about this story, but have to say one of the sweetest things was Grayson, his mom, and Lori's mom Mary arranging a babymoon for Lori and Grayson before their baby was born. It was so sweet to give them a getaway just the two of them before they became a family of three. 

Falling in Love All Over Again pulled all the emotions from me. I found myself laughing, smiling, and even crying a few happy tears along the way. I love each installment in the Sullivan series of books, but have to say the San Francisco Sullivans have an extra special place in my heart. I absolutely love getting to spend more time with them. Falling in Love All Over Again was such a wonderful novella and I loved it so much, and have to say I had all the happy tears flowing at the end of the story. Ms. Andre once again delivers an amazing and emotional story for her readers and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary romances.

Married in Malibu #3

Review copy provided by publisher

Liza's Review:

The Barefoot Wedding is a heartwarming reunion romance from Lucy Kevin. I'm a huge fan of reunion romances, and adored Travis and Amy's story.

Everyone has a past and Travis is no different. He unfortunately comes from a pretty ugly family history of abuse and gang members and feels like that history means he isn't good enough for someone as wonderful as Amy. Of course being a man, Travis never shared his reason for distancing himself from Amy 3 years ago; he just ended their relationship.

Amy comes to Married in Malibu early to help make sure everything will be absolutely perfect for her best friend's wedding. She had no idea she would run into Travis yet I love she didn't back down once she found out he worked there. I loved that even though Travis didn't feel like he was good enough for Amy you could tell by his actions how much he still loved her. He went out of his way to help her further her art career and he really does have to fight himself much of the time to stay away. Yes Amy ran away to nurse her broken heart years ago, yet this time she is there to fight for the man she still loves.

I really liked Travis and Amy as a couple. There was a sweetness about them and they really did just seem to get each other. They had wonderful chemistry together and I loved they really did seem to honestly be friends with each other as well as lovers. 

The Barefoot Wedding chemistry runs more on the sweet side of romance, and it was a truly satisfying story. I highly recommend both this story and the series to romance readers who enjoy sweet and heartwarming stories.

Liza's Review:

I’ve wanted Harry Sullivan’s book forever! While I love all of his siblings and have loved each of their books, I knew that Harry’s would be the one I would want the most from the moment we met him. Let me just say that Every Time We Fall In Love was more than worth the wait!

Harry met the woman of his dreams when he was a freshman in college. Molly fell just as hard for Harry. However, this was a time in his life when he had to take care of everyone else in his family. He had to make sure Drake and Suzanne finished high school, Alec stayed on track, and his father didn’t do anything to hurt himself. Sadly even though Harry loved Molly with everything in him, he broke up with her over being pulled in too many directions by his family.

When Amelia Connal shows up on Harry’s doorstep 16 years later, he recognizes her as Molly’s daughter on sight, but is completely surprised to discover he is her father. Amelia was such a fun teenager. She was smart and talented and goes after what she wants. I loved that Harry and the entire Sullivan clan immediately accepted Amelia as a member of the family. I also loved that Harry finally had a reason to get in contact with Molly. I have to say I was really surprised at first that Molly had never tried to get in touch with Harry, but after her explanation, I completely understood her reasoning. I won’t lie; I cried a few happy tears once they found out they were really a family.

I loved that both Harry and Molly had never fallen in love with anyone else in all the years they were apart. There is just something about a couple knowing early in life they have met their soul mates that give me all the feels. Harry and Molly were that couple. They still had a connection all these years later and they still had chemistry simmering between them. I loved they really couldn’t keep their hands off each other and quickly started back up with a physical relationship. Their lovemaking was so beautiful and hot at the same time. 

I also love that Harry’s family owned up to their part in causing the break up between Harry and Molly and they never gave her a hard time for keeping Amelia away, especially once they learned her reason. I have to say, I’ve loved seeing William Sullivan come more and more back to life in each of the books, and I knew it would take Harry finding happiness to make it so. I absolutely cried happy tears as he finally became the father he always wanted to be to his kids.

Every Time We Fall In Love might just be my most favorite book in the Sullivan family series. I’m a sucker for a reunion romance and it was done perfectly. I fall more and more in love with the Sullivan family with each new book, and am super excited to see we will get more stories with the Maine cousins in the future.

LOVE ME LIKE THIS (THE MORRISONS #3)

Eight years have passed since Justin Morrison first laid eyes on Taylor and fell head over heels in love with her, even though he knew she could never be his. He's tried everything he can to get over her--including moving to another country--but she's still the only woman he'll ever want.

Eight years is a heck of a long time to secretly love someone. Taylor knows all too well how impossible it is to forget a man as sexy, sweet, and brilliant as Justin Morrison. So when he turns up on the doorstep of her Napa Valley bed and breakfast, she can't help but long for the happily-ever-after of her dreams.

As Taylor and Justin spend beautifully romantic mornings together watching the sun rise over the vineyards--and can't help but fall into each other's arms on wickedly sexy nights--it looks like they might finally get their chance at the love they've been waiting for.

Liza's Review:

Bella Andre is back with another wonderful installment in her wonderful Morrisons series. While I fell in love with her books first with the Sullivans, I have to say I fall in love with each new story Ms. Andre writes.

Let me just say I absolutely loved Justin and Taylor's story from beginning to end. The fact they both had been in love with each other from the moment they met gave me happy sighs. The fact they each waited eight years to admit their feelings to one another absolutely had me shaking my head. I was so glad Justin's sisters stepped in and got him a reservation at Taylor's new B&B when he came home for his brother's wedding.

I loved Justin and Taylor picked up being best friends again from the moment they saw each other again. I loved their friendship was a priority between them no matter else would be going on going forward. The fact they were insanely attracted to one another and wanted to spend every minute together gave me all the feels. I also loved the chemistry between Justin and Taylor was so strong. Once they finally gave into their attraction, I loved they really couldn't stay away from one another.

I will say I was surprised Taylor was so hesitant to share her big secret with Justin initially. They were so close and I just knew he would move heaven and earth to help her in any way possible. I have to say Justin handled learning about Taylor's illness just as I expected. He wanted to figure out a cure and offered to donate one of his own kidneys when he discovers she needs a transplant to save her life. I have to say this part of the story could have become way too medical if handled differently and I absolutely loved while the seriousness was never downplayed, it never took away from the romance in the story. I also loved Justin's family members being honest about concerns with the plan yet understanding in the end how it had to be. I can't say that I wouldn't be questioning my brother if he needed to do something like this for the love of his life and I loved that bit of normalcy being shown.

Love Me Like This was another wonderful story from Bella Andre. I both laughed and cried while reading this story and have to say I adore any book that makes me feel multiple emotions while reading.
