"Since I Fell For You" by Bella Andre

My Thoughts....

This was a wonderful second in the series of the New York Sullivan's reads. I liked how this author gives the readers one interesting lovable read that featured Suzanne Sullivan and Roman Huson. Would I like to have Roman for my 'bodyguard' oh well, that's another story but for Suzanne she simply wasn't having it. What had her brother's [Alex, Harry & Drake] gone behind her back done in order to keep her safe? Will Roman be able to deal with Suzanne in her not wanting him around? What did Suzanne plan on doing to Roman that would send him running? What will happen when there is a twist in this story that will have the readers saying yummy with all that chemistry that comes about for these two [Suzanne and Roman]. Will Roman be able to keep Suzanne safe? Do you think that these two Suzanne and Roman finally get a HEA? Well, to get all of these questions answered and so much more you will have to pick up this wonderful well written series to see how this author brings it out for her readers. The characters were so very well developed with a entrancing story giving the readers one spectacular read that goes so well with all the other Sullivan reads. Be ready for some passionate romance, drama, mystery, close family and friends. Would I recommend? YES!

Thank you to the author for another continuation to a wonderful series!

"Now That I've Found You" by Bella Andre

My Thoughts...

This novel was right up there with all the other Sullivan novels by this author...and this one "Now That I've Found You was simply excellent! And yes, I have read them all. Truly Drake Sullivan [sexy and intense] and Rosa Bouchard [sweet and passionate] were definitely meant for each other ...a 'Reality TV Star and a Artist.' But getting there will not be a easy ride with each of these two characters who had some flaws to get over. This was a beautifully well written story of just how that will happen. Not wanting to spoil anything but only to say you must pick up the well written story and listen or read it for yourself. The setting where this story takes place is simply beautiful....in the 'Montauk and the Adirondacks.' The characters..Drake, Rosa, with the New York Sullivans [Suzanne, Harry, Alex and William] were simply well developed, defined and oh so believable giving the reader one interesting read. Now, we Sullivan fans will be waiting for the next novel about another NY Sullivan series.

What I especially like about this novel.... was how well this author gives the reader a beautiful story of the wounded Hotshot fireman, Connor MacKenzie and his meeting Ginger Sinclair at his grandparents cabin in the mountains of the Adirondacks. I loved how this relationship progressed with these two having some deep problems that will have to been worked out. How will this happen? Be ready for a few other issues that will come out in this read that will give the reader a well written story that will be hard to put down. I especially loved this ending bringing this series to a wonderful closing.
