Fall in Love With the Sullivan Family: The Sullivan Series by Bella Andre Blog Tour….My Review of From This Moment On

Today I’m continuing the fun in The Fall in Love With The Sullivan Family Blog Tour with my review of From This Moment On.

 In Bella’s sexy, emotional and funny contemporary romance series, each member of the Sullivan family will eventually find true love…usually where he or she least expects it.

Synopsis:

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 Review:

From This Moment On is the second book in the Sullivan Series and oh…..my…..God…..I loved this book! Devoured it in two sittings and ignored all responsibilities  (apologies to my family for not having clean clothes) to make sure I could give this book the proper attention it deserved.

Nicola has had it with her lonely existence as pop princess “Nico”.  Sure it’s glamorous and she loves to write and perform her music but when the lights on the stage turn off and the crowds are gone it’s a solitary life lived in hotel rooms with no one to see who the real Nico is.  After being hurt the last time she trusted someone, she’s weary to ever let anyone in again.  But tonight, after staring out of her hotel window, Nico has decided she’s going to throw caution to the wind and find someone for a hot one-night stand to make her lose herself and forget all her troubles. Only the last thing she expects is to find a smoking hot stranger who makes her want to be more than the one night of passion she had planned.

Marcus Sullivan is tired of being the ever responsible, always perfect, oldest brother of the Sullivan clan.  Now, the life he thought was perfect is crumbling around him.  After leaving his brother’s engagement party, he realizes he needs to figure this mess out….only not tonight.  Tonight is for finding a warm body to spend the night with and try to erase the hurt he experienced this afternoon at the hands of his now EX-fiancé.  What he wasn’t expecting was Nicola.  She’s walked into his life and turned everything upside-down….and he unexpectedly loves every minute of it.

I’ll say it again; I loved this book.  Nicola is such an amazing character.  She’s written so well and with such feeling that I actually physically felt her loneliness and her craving to be loved for who she is, and not the image created for the public. She is such a fighter and has amazing strength and courage.  Marcus is a-freaking-mazing.  He’s held his family together in the years since his father has died and doesn’t realize that it’s his turn to find his own true happiness in life.  He is so wholly male and dominating, yet has a softer side that I think even he hadn’t realized he had.  Together, they are HOT!!  Marcus, and his “I’m in charge” attitude is freaking delicious.  Some of the scenes in this book, with Marcus giving Nicola commands…holy hell…I still get the chills thinking about it.  Simply delish.  I will be diving in to the rest of this series and can’t wait to see if any of the other Sullivan brothers make me swoon like Marcus does.  Thank you, Bella, for another yummy read!
