“Captivating In Love is a truly captivating read! You could almost touch the electricity between Gideon and Rosie.” 5 stars from Debbie“Captivating In Love is such an endearing book that is loaded with emotion! I devoured this book.” 5 stars from BarbaraGideon Jones came back from war a changed man. Though the Maverick Billionaires claim he’s one of their own, he knows he doesn’t deserve to be … he doesn’t deserve to be part of their tightly knit unit. Just like he doesn’t deserve Rosie Diaz–an amazing mother…and an utterly captivating woman that he can’t stop dreaming about.
Rosie Diaz pulled herself out of the foster care system and made a great life for herself while raising Jorge, the son she adores. Only one thing is missing–a good man, one she can respect and love with her whole heart. A man exactly like her best friend’s older brother Gideon.
When Rosie and Gideon agree to take care of Matt and Ari’s son, Noah, while the couple is on their honeymoon, they have no idea of the havoc two matchmaking little boys can create. Not to mention the steamy kisses that Rosie and Gideon can’t help but steal from each other as their connection deepens and grows. But when mother and son are threatened, Gideon will stop at nothing to protect them. Will he finally believe that he truly is Maverick material…and worthy of Rosie and Jorge’s love?
CAPTIVATING IN LOVE is part of Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully’s bestselling series about The Maverick Billionaires. While it can easily be read as a standalone story, you’ll likely enjoy reading the other books too.

But when each Maverick falls head-over-heels for an incredible woman he never saw coming, he will soon find that true love is the only thing he ever really needed.

I debated about whether I should give this book a four or five star rating. I am always happy to read a book by these writers, and I try to be completely objective. I felt like it was going to be a minimum of 4, but once I started reading, I was hooked. I had to go with five stars. Four would not have done it justice, at least not for me.
I love Bella Andre’s work. When Bella and Jennifer Skully get together, you are pretty much guaranteed a winner. I also like the way the circumference of the original Maverick circle is increasing.
Gideon and Rosie’s story drew me in from the very first page. The way Gideon’s character was written, you could feel how closed off he was from not only the Maverick’s, but the rest of the world. There were only two exceptions that got the full fledged Gideon.
Rosie was sweetness and light. I don’t mean that in a sarcastic or derogatory way. Rosie was very genuine and kind, wanting what was best for her son and her friends.
I had to admire the way Rosie concentrated her efforts on getting Gideon to break down those walls. My admiration increased when she went head to head with a past entanglement.
Gideon and Rosie’s interactions with Jorge and Noah made the entire relationship even more special.
There is a sweetness, a kindness, a gentleness, and a strong sense of family that makes the Maverick books very special. They all have an element of heat woven into a layer of sensuality.
I just like the way this book made me feel. It was truly a captivating read that once I started it, I did not put it down until the last page. I am really looking forward to the next book in the Maverick series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.
The war changed Gideon and he still can’t believe he is part of a family. Once he met Rosie Diaz he was captivated but knew he was no where good enough for her. Rosie had eyes only for Gideon and was ready to make the move to get him to notice her. Little did they know they had two scheme little boys helping along the way. So love this series. Can’t wait for the next book!
Wow, love this! Gideon and Rosie are perfect for one another and their story is very touching. Love the Mavericks and how they are so supportive of one another. Rosie portrays a classy way of letting a man know you’re interested in him romantically which is exactly what Gideon needs. So happy for this compassionate couple, authors did a great job making this entertaining, attraction that blossoms without aggression. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.
How do I become an honorary Maverick? I really, really want to be a Maverick. No matter what happens in their lives they away end up so happy, so in love.
