Wicked Winter Saturday - The Look of Love by Bella Andre


"Baby, it's cold outside! Time to snuggle up with a mug of hot chocolate (or a glass of wine!) and fall into a steamy, sexy book."

Wicked Winter Saturdays is a weekly post created by The Autumn Review, The Bookish Babe, Hackaroo's Reviews, and Sim-Sational-Books. Feel free to join in. (let us know so we can add a link to your post).

Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she’s convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he? 

As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he’s home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is—until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love—and protect—her, but will she let him? 

Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her—and every sinfully sweet caress—as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can’t help but wonder if she’s met the only exception. And although Chase didn’t realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn’t the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he’s gearing up for a different fight altogether…for Chloe’s heart.

So I signed up for this tour on Autumns recommendation. ( She's awesome). I am really enjoying these books. I'm on the 5th one right now and as we dwindle down to the last days of the tour, I'm sad that I didn't get to review more of them for the event. EmergencySurgery kinda screwed me there, but I've gotten a lot of reading in!

These books are pretty sexy, so I've decided to go ahead and tie them in with our Sexy Saturdays and since I've been horrible at participating in that, here is the perfect solution. :) So over the next few weeks I will be blabbing about these Sullivan men just about every Saturday, so prepare yourselves.

The Look of Love is book 1 in this series. I know they said when I signed up that you don’t have to read them in order, but I kinda have this OCD when it comes to reading books in order. I can see how they are easily separated, with their own stories, but its so much more fun to read them in succession. Because they really get better as you go. Plus I like to see updates on the characters I love as I get further in the series. 

That being said, I guess The Look of Love would be my least favorite so far.. But hear me out. That's not necessarily a bad thing. In this book you meet Chase and Chloe. Chase is one of the infamous brothers. I found their story to be sweet, and maybe a bit cheesy at points. The Sex though, was pretty darn hot. Lets just say I need to get me one of those tubs when we remodel our bathroom. Hells yes, Power jets to the vagina! Count me in!

I also loved the setting. It takes place on a Vineyard. Now I hate wine. I know, blasphemy, but it tastes like butt. #truestory. I've not specifically tasted butt, but I'd gather the butt in question would have rotten fruit exiting it. How's that for a visual? But the real visual you get is from reading about the Vineyard. I would love to visit one someday. And just not drink the wine, but look at the pretty plants.

Seriously though, You get a peak into this family of the Sullivan’s, and you can't help but want to read more about them. At the end of each story, it kinda leads you into the next. I find myself getting excited.. “what brother is gonna get bitten by the love bug next!!” I have since given into temptation and looked ahead, but for the first few I anxiously awaited the epilogue!

If you are in the mood for a sexy, fun light fluffy read, try these out!

  3. I haven't read this series yet...maybe because I'm not a light and fluffy reader? I've heard so many great things about it though so maybe one day I'll try it out.

    I'm OCD about reading books in order too, especially romance books. I've been curious about these books since they always seem to be on my kindle store front page. I'll have to give them a shot because I'm all about those fluffy reads.
