Synopsis

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?

My 2 cents

I liked this book a little better than the first one.  I didn't like Marcus as much as Chase,

and Marcus really wouldn't be my type, but I loved Nicola, and the sexual tension and the angst between them. There were a lot of sweet scenes between Marcus and Nicola. I love the structure of the story, and the scene at the video shoot the next day after they meet is priceless. As is the scene at the family luncheon!

I loved that we got to see the relationship between Marcus and Lori.  They are a great pair! It really showed how much of a "big brother" Marcus is.  It was great to see more of the Sullivan family in this book!

I didn't really like how controlling Marcus was. Nicola was so pure and mostly innocent, it just seemed wrong somehow. Not my type of thing at all.

I loved the ending, and how it wasn't a really big happy ever after, which made it feel more realistic. Marcus and Nicola were still trying to make things work, and it left a lot of open ends, so I'm hopeful for another book on these two!
