Eleanor is content with her boring life—mostly. She’s even fine being the quirky sister in a bevy of beauties. So imagine her surprise when one of her brother’s Sydney Smoke mates hits on her at an engagement party. Her. The weird sister, who wears vintage dresses and prefers her books to parties.

Bodie is shocked the next morning to find the soft, sexy virgin who seduced him with corsets is his best friend’s little sister. If he could kick his own ass, he would. And two months later, she’s got an even bigger surprise for him. Now he needs to convince the corset-loving wallflower that he loves her uniqueness if they’ve got a chance at forever.

He always did love a challenge…

 

Steamy and adorable! When the player isn’t so much of a player anymore, watching him find “the one” is super fun to see … and with his rep, she’s not buying it for a minute, and he’s going to have to earn each and every thing she gives him! Watching the mighty fall under the spell of a prim and proper bombshell is music to my eyes! They’re adorable together, spicy as all get out, and just a joy to watch get their happily ever after!

Wallflower Eleanor decides to take advantage of the fact that she somehow caught sexy Bodie Webb’s attention at a party. She’s had it with living the life of a spinster, and she’s going to live it up for once in her life!

Bodie is under her spell and loves it! But when he realizes he’s just slept with his best friends little sister, he knows heads are going to roll. But man … he really digs her! He’s in for the shock of his life a couple of months later … but he hopes he can convince her how much she’s been on his mind while they’ve been apart … and how much he wants her and only her!

She ran away from her own wedding…

Now she’s falling for the man who must bring her home!

When heiress Morgan Monroe realizes nothing about her wedding is her own choice—including the groom!—she runs. But her father’s associate, Spanish millionaire Riccardo Ochoa, is hot on her heels, under orders to bring her home! Morgan knows it’s wrong to imagine a romance with this stranger, but why does being with Riccardo feel so right?

 

The runaway bride hits the jackpot! A really fun take on finding love when you least expect it. I didn’t quite connect with Riccardo quite as much as I did his cousin Mitch in the first book, but I did grow to like him as the story went on. It was fun to see some of the family from previously in the series again as well. Good characters and a satisfying plot!

Heiress Morgan Monroe has lived her life making the fewest amount of waves as possible. She loves her controlling father, and typically doesn’t mind doing things the way he prefers, but this time … she has to do it her way! She’s on the verge of marrying a man she doesn’t even care to spend her life with because it’s her father’s wish … but this good girl just went rogue and became a runaway bride!

Riccardo Ochoa doesn’t even know Morgan, but her father is one of the biggest customers for his cousin’s business, and there’s no way he can let that relationship fall apart while Mitch is away on his honeymoon! So he has to chase after a spoiled debutante and take her home to daddy … it’s not the end of the world … but when he sets eyes on her and starts to see that she’s not the airhead he was expecting, he’s not so sure he’s willing to strong-arm her back under daddy’s thumb!
