*A sizzling romance from a USA Today Bestselling Author*
Alice Bennett has been holding a torch for her older brother’s best friend, Nate, for more than a decade. He’s a hotshot TV producer who travels the world, never staying in San Francisco for too long. But now he’s in town and just as tempting as ever… with a bossy streak that makes her weak in the knees and a smile that can melt ice—or at the very least, her defenses. As a successful restaurant owner, Alice is happy with her life. She loves her business and her family, yet after watching her siblings find their happy ever after, she can’t help feeling lonely sometimes—but that’s only for her to know. Nate has always had a soft spot for Alice. Despite considering the Bennetts his family, he never could look at her as just his friend’s little sister. She’s a spitfire, and Nate just can’t stay away. He loves making her laugh… and blush. Their attraction is irresistible, and between stolen kisses and wicked-hot nights, they form a deep bond that has them both yearning for more. But when the chance of a lifetime comes knocking at his door, will Nate chase success even if it means losing Alice, or will he choose her?

Read an excerpt from YOUR ALLURING LOVE

“Let me do the dirty work from time to time. You’re mine, Alice. That means I’ll protect you from anyone, even if you don’t want me to. I’ll protect you especially when you don’t want me to because it’s when you need it most.” Before I can reply, he steps right in front of me. “You understand? You are mine.”

I shake my head. “You’re stubborn and possessive.”

“Sounds like I’m a catch.”

“I didn’t mean those as compliments,” I inform him, crossing my arms over my chest.

“That’s how they sounded to me.”

“How do you figure?”

“You can easily rephrase that to determined and protective. Both positive traits.”
Despite my annoyance, my lips twitch with a hint of a smile.

“I won’t apologize for wanting to protect you.”

“I wasn’t really expecting you to,” I reply, disarmed by his passion and honesty. “But I’m warning you, I’m still mad at you.”

“I’m counting on it, darling. In fact, hold on to the anger until we get home. Unless you want to leave now?”

“No, the event isn’t over.” I’m a little suspicious of his sudden good mood. “Why do you want me to hold on to the anger?”

“Because there’s a kind of sex I’m dying to try with you.”

“What kind is that?”

He wiggles his eyebrows, leaning in. “Make-up sex.”

My Thoughts on YOUR ALLURING LOVE

Alice has had feelings for Nate for years but, as a longtime friend of the large Bennett family, she's certain that he considers her as nothing more than a friend, or his best friend's younger sister. But when Nate spends several weeks in town while waiting for a new project to start, the time they spend together proves that her feelings aren't so unrequited after all.

Your Alluring Love is the third book I have read in the Bennett Family series and it was great to return to this large close-knit clan and watch as another sibling found her happily ever after. Alice was a strong and capable woman, owning two of her own restaurants and opening a third with her brother. I appreciated the fact that she was ambitious and hard-working and didn't feel like her life was on hold, or somehow less, just because there wasn't a man in her life. Nate was devoted to his career as a television producer and steered clear of relationships after enduring the fall-out from his mother's two failed marriages. I loved that, despite that, he didn't fight his feelings for Alice every step of the way. He pursued her and was open with how he felt. 

While this wasn't my favorite of the Bennett Family series and I didn't fully connect with Alice and Nate as well as some of the family members, this was still a completely enjoyable read and a welcome continuation to the series. And while Your Alluring Love is the sixth in the series, it can easily be read as a stand alone. Fans who enjoy their contemporary romance on the lighter side, without a lot of drama and angst, will appreciate Your Alluring Love and all the books in the Bennett Family series.

  3. I love companions where they work at coupling up everyone in that circle. It let's me check back in with characters from previous books, and that is such a plus for me.

    1. Same here, Sam. I love recurring characters and everyone getting their HEA. This series is a good example of that.
