I’ve recently become infatuated with romance novels. I mean, what’s not to love about passion, compassion, and happily ever afters? A good romance novel will transport the reader into the story as she, too, gets the chance to fall in love. And who doesn’t want to fall in love over and over?

The Sullivan series starts with a bang as Chloe Peterson drives her car into a ditch one stormy evening. Photographer playboy Chase is quick to her rescue–inevitably, falling head-over-heels for his rescuee. A I’ve recently become infatuated with romance novels. I mean, what’s not to love about passion, compassion, and happily ever afters? A good romance novel will transport the reader into the story as she, too, gets the chance to fall in love. And who doesn’t want to fall in love over and over?

The Sullivan series starts with a bang as Chloe Peterson drives her car into a ditch one stormy evening. Photographer playboy Chase is quick to her rescue–inevitably, falling head-over-heels for his rescuee. Although I read each of these books in order (starting with Chase’s and Chloe’s love story), readers can start from anywhere in the series without risking confusion. Of all the marvelous books The Sullivans have to offer, I most related to book #1, The Look of Love. I saw myself in Chloe and found myself falling for Chase right along side her. To so strongly connect with a character that you question whether the author was hiding in your closet taking notes, well, that definitely says something about the amazingness of Bella Andre’s writing!

While I devoured The Look of Love, the rest of the series is just as good–if not better. The complexities of the relationships and the unique challenges facing each aspiring couple only grow as Andre hits her stride. Another favorite was book #4, I Only Have Eyes for You, in which Sophie (one of the two female Sullivan siblings) gets a chance at the boy she’s loved since childhood. Bookworms the world over will undoubtedly relate to this librarian nicknamed “Nice” by her brothers.

Seriously, The Sullivans have so much to offer, and I guarantee you’ll find yourself or your dream man in each of its volumes. Have a firefighter fantasy? Then don’t miss book #3, Can’t Help Falling in Love, as fireman Gabe falls hard for Megan and her young daughter after rescuing them from an apartment fire. Crazy about dogs? You’ll love the romance that unfolds between auto mechanic tycoon Zach and dog trainer Heather–and there’s a love story between their two canines as well!

Then there are the more escapist love stories. Pop star Nichola just wants a normal life and to find love; luckily, winery owner Marcus is waiting in the wings in book #2, From This Moment on. In book #6, Let Me Be The One, professional baseball player Ryan realizes he wants to be much more than friends with Vicki, a girl he’s been friends with since high school.

Book #7, Come A Little Bit Closer, is finally here, and, boy, does it deliver! All the glamour and glitz of Hollywood with a real down-to-earth man who has a heart of gold. Um, yes please.

I’ve already signed up for Bella’s mailing list and am anxiously awaiting the eighth in the series, Always on My Mind. I can’t wait to read all about Lori (AKA “Naughty)’s mystery man that the author has been teasing us with since book #2!

So hop aboard the Sullivan train now. You’ll find authentic love stories, characters you can relate to, and endless hours of entertainment. Take this as my enthusiastic fan girl recommendation. Go… get… them… NOW!

Note: Since I do publicity work for Bella, I can't ethically assign a star rating. Boo hiss! I hope my review speaks for itself though! ...more

I gobble these books up as quickly as she can write them...I absolutely love those Sullivans, but with only 2 more left - - - Smith & Lori will the series continue? Hopefully, some other branches of the family tree will inspire Ms. Andre to write about them.

My heart did so many flip-flops in my chest, I had to finish Let Me Be The One in one day so I didn't have a heart attack. Lovely, touching, frustrating, and super sexy, Ryan's story fits well in with the other Sullivans stories. Plus, I love reading about the other sibling's lives and getting updates on their love lives. If you've read the other 5 Sullivans, you must read this one. And if you haven't read the other 5, start today! ...more

What a great book! In the beginning of the book Bella asks us to find a quiet place and sit down read so we can wrap ourselves up in this book. That is what I did and absolutely loved it! The characters have such great chemistry and a great history! How they waited so long to get together I will never know! Loved it!

Another sweet, warm installment of the Sullivan clan by one of my favorite authors, Bella Andre. What is not to like about a story having a Sullivan brother as a main character? I love this family and each installment has left me fanning my face and wanting to read the next book in the series. Keep 'em coming, Bella!! We love your Sullivan's!! ...more
