I have only had the opportunity to read a few books from this author so far but everything I’ve read ahs been phenomenal! This story follows Jake, who is the outcast in his family, and Elle who has traveled to Nashville from Ireland to try to make it as a singer. These two couldn’t be more opposite of each other and Elle is turning down Jake left and right. Loved the banter between these two and I didn’t want this story to end. The plot moved at a great pace and I ended up reading it in one sitting.
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for an opposites attract story with epic banter and a good amount of steam.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Jake and Elle.. She’s in Nashville from Ireland to try and make it in the music world. Jake is the bad boy of the family, always on the move. When he comes home, since his father’s sick, he finds himself in a predicament. He sees Elle at the country club and is intrigued by her. But she doesn’t do bad boys. But as they get to know each other their feelings change. Great HEA.

It was nice to come back to this story after not reading for so long. I got this when Miss Blake first released this. I was enamoured then and now it is like a drug. She envelops the reader and encourages them to open themselves up to Men who you would look at wishing that there were men just like these men that she graces her stories with. At first I was not like this guy is it, no it took some warming up to Jake. But Elle I could really get into her as she was a bit like me. Yes I knoiw we try to make these characters people that we would like to be with or have or murder. Yes there are times that I wish I could Kill some of these characters but Jake warmed my heart in the way he just knows that Elle is for him. I really enjoyed this return to Miss Blakes universe and I like that she made Jake have to work for it. Very interesting and engaging. She knows what we are looking for and delivers with a wolop of a story!

Jake who happens to be the black sheep is also estranged from the family. Now they seem to need him to help with the family horse stables which also happens to be famous. Elle the singer/waitress at the country club in Brentwood almost got fired thanks to Jake. That causes so she thought hate on her part. Funny though they both can’t stop thinking of each other. Turn the pages to see if they are able to keep dening each other.
Elle really keeps Jake drooling from afar for quite some time. I love that by the time things start moving forward, he has real feelings for her. When the running happens, I like how it is handled. Jake’s feelings after that, through the end of the book are so raw feeling until they talk at the reception. I wish it had delved into the brothers’ relationship a little more and the repairing of it.

I enjoyed reading Jake and Elle’s story. Jake sees Elle while at the Country Club and was instantly attracted to her. Elle’s attracted to him but hears the rumors of the bad boy of the family. Elle can’t be distracted by Jake because she is in Nashville trying to get her music career started. Jake is persistent and will do everything to make Elle his.
I really enjoyed this story a lot. The characters both had to work to keep each other and their feelings.
It built the tension between Jake and Elle to a fever pitch and the ending is outstanding.
A great read and start to a series.
I liked this book. This book read easily and smoothly. Jake and Elle were likable and I thought they made a good couple. Drama and emotion flow freely throughout the book with splashes of humor and heat added into the mix. I am posting an unbiased, unsolicited review.
the playboy has caught the love bug
Jake has finally met his match in Elle.
Elle does not bow down to anyone especially Jake.
What they both endure to find love and happiness is worth it.
The chemistry between the two is amazing.
Now sit back and wait for the other Delaney Boys to catch it.

This was such a fun read! After a falling out with his father causing him to leave home, Jake makes his way back because his father is ill. He meets Elle at the country club where she is a waitress. For him, it’s love at first sight. For her, not so much. I liked that she really made him work for it. Looking forward to the brothers’ stories as well.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done
This was a quick, easy read. I like the setting of the Nashville area and Jake was the perfect brother to start the series. I did like that Elle wasn’t as young as some of Ms Blake’s heroines, still on the innocent side but not completely virginal. When Jake falls, he falls quickly and completely. Wonder how Daniel and Jackson will fare in their stories?
