Synopsis
With THE LOOK OF LOVE, bestselling author Bella Andre introduces you the Sullivan family. In this fun and emotional contemporary romance series, when a Sullivan bad boy falls...he falls hard. And it's forever.
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.

My 2 cents
After reading the first book, I realized how much I want to read the rest of the series to learn more about the whole clan! I absolutely fell in love with Chase. I also loved Chloe, and
completely understood her desire to try and stand on her own after
her crazy ex husband. At times her thoughts got a bit old, though. I understand where her thoughts were coming from, but she was so blind to what was right in front of her!
I loved the setting of the vineyard, it was so
beautiful. The vineyard is actually belongs to Marcus, the oldest Sullivan sibling. He was in a few scenes in the book, but the rest of the family didn't make an appearance until the last chapter. I would have liked to see them more in the story, but it did give the feeling that Chase and Chloe were alone in paradise, so to speak. I also liked the way they met, and how Chase saved Chloe
from the speeding car. The romance and sexual tension was great, as
were all the sex scenes (and there were quite a few).
I didn't think there was enough action.
The dialogue was good, but most of the dialogue between Chase and Chloe was the
same stuff over and over. There wasn't any other character
development. The conflict was a little boring as well. The whole
thing wasn't very believable, having spanned only a few days.
But I did enjoy the ending, although it felt a bit rushed. It really showed Chloe how strong she really is! And the family dinner was
also fun, to get to finally meet the rest of the family! For anyone who likes a contemporary romance, I'm sure you will enjoy this book!
Make sure to keep an eye out for more Sullivan Dating Game posts! What are your thoughts on Chase?
He sounds fantastic...as long as the jealousy issue doesn't become a controlling behavior. But otherwise....niiiiiice. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, he's definitely my kind of man! I agree on the jealously issue, though. I'm jealous by nature, so I don't think it would work too well if both of us were!
