Goodreads Description

With FROM THIS MOMENT ON, bestselling author Bella Andre introduces you to Marcus, the second Sullivan bad boy, whose life will never be the same from the moment he meets Nicola….
For thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.
Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only, what no one knows about the twenty-five year old singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her, she vows not to let anyone else get close enough to find out who she really is...or hurt her again. Especially not the gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her want to spill all her secrets.
One night is all Nicola and Marcus agree to share with each other. But nothing goes as they plan when instead of simply tangling limbs, they find a deeper connection than either of them could have anticipated. And even though they both try to fight it, growing emotions - and sizzling attraction - keep drawing them closer together.
Close enough for them to wonder if stealing one more secret moment together can ever be enough?
From this moment on brings you the story of Marcus. You meet him in book one. I caught on pretty quick that book 2 would probably focus on him, because there’s some drama going on with him and his current girlfriend.
Needless to say, you get the full picture in the beginning of this one, and that leads you to the torrent love affair with the beautiful Nicola. I adored her. She’s somewhat of a pop star. Okay, she’s a really famous one. I always wanted to be a pop star. It never happened, obvs, but I will always have my hair brush concerts in my memories.
Marcus and Nicolas relationship is complicated. She’s younger and in the lime light, he’s older, wiser, and has a stick up his butt. They make a great pair though and it was interesting watching them interact together.
What I really loved about this one is that since it’s a book 2, you get peaks at other characters. The more I read these, the more invested in this family I became. I laughed when I figured out how Marcus and Nicola would ended up connected somehow. It’s a small world when it comes to the Sullivan family.
I know, I know, what about the sex. It was great. There are some real steamy moments between these two. Especially the first encounter, that one is real hot! Lol. if you read this book you will understand the lol. it was cute though. I liked Marcus’s story a little better than Chases. There seemed to be a lot more going on.
This story is cute, sexy and fun. Loved it.

  1. I went with a 4 on this one too. I love Marcus, but it just didn't totally win me over. I still liked it though.

  2. I liked this one too. What I like so much about the series are seeing MCs from prior books. The series just keeps getting better. Great review!

  3. You know, I think I just need to start this series because I've read two books of hers that were offered for free but they were both short novellas and I liked them both. Lately, I read the Candy Store one that was free around Valentine's Day. But I just need to start at the beginning.
