The first time I saw him, he entranced me and offered to help me forget my broken engagement. The second time was on a blind date with no last names and undeniable passion. The third time, I was eight months pregnant with his baby he knew nothing about. This time he’s not letting me walk away so easily.
Ian is every woman’s dream. He is not just a sexy alpha who knows how to pleasure a woman, but is a good man who wants to do the right thing. The fact that he finds out Carina is having a baby and that only makes him want her more and be there for her, will make you fall in love with him even more. The sexual tension burns hot between them whether they are fighting or making love and you will want to be there for every step.
Longer than needed
I loved this story! Carina didn’t let Ian run all over her, and he was a charmer that made me smile. I loved how he baby talked Audrey.
The second Fiona dropped the first Another teaser I knew I was in. And then as soon as I saw the blurb, I knew I NEEDED it. Also, can we talk about that cover? Because holy gorgeous! Anywho, from the start, I was so captivated by Ian and Carina’s story. I don’t read a lot of the surprise/accidental pregnancy trope and Fiona Cole set the bar so high for the ones I read in the future! I love how utterly obsessed Ian is with Carina and although she’s guarded AF, I loved watching her walls slowly come down. And I loved the dynamic of them with the little babe! Carina and Ian have sizzling hot chemistry, ridiculously funny banter (seriously their back and forth texts were hilarious), and even when they’re fighting, you can see their connection.
And of course, I loved seeing the glimpses of the other characters from this universe! Love love loved it! Five stars!
Wow! This book was hot hot hot from the first page. The chemistry that Carina and Ian has was really off the charts. Even when they had their battle banter going on. After the last book I read by this author I craved Carina’s story and was so happy with what I got. She was everything I was hoping for and Ian was the perfect match for her. It’s no secret that surprise pregnancy are my weakness and that aspect of this book was also just as awesome as I hoped. The author was detailed with the pregnancy aspect and didn’t short change ya on being there through some of it, I loved that. I do feel like some scenes were very fast and could have been slowed down. The story did jump from one scene to the next with easy but they all seemed so fast. Even with that I still love this author’s work and will continue to read books from her in the future. The next book (or atleast the eluding to the next book) has me craving it as fast as she can write it. Bring it on! 4 stars #2OCCJD
This book was HOT!! I knew I was in for a great read when I needed a cold shower before chapter 3! Phenomenal characters and storyline. So happy Carina finally got her HEA. Ian was everything you could want in a Hero. Devoted, caring, and a dirty talking alpha! That man could melt the panties right off a woman with his words alone! Fiona Cole knocked this one out of the park! I hope there are more books to come with other side characters.
Love this series, love the characters and how well they are interwoven Into each story. Carina has been a bad ass hero to me since she was first introduced and this story is no exception. It’s nice to see a tough business woman have a soft side but not give up who she is in order to get the guy. Smart, strong and sexy woman are the best!
I love this series! The panty-melting studs are magnificent and the women they fall for are just as outstanding. Carina is such a fantastic heroine. Smart, sexy, beautiful and, damn, can she bring a man to his knees with just a look and her boss attitude. But that’s what she needs as the future heir to an empire that’s know as a man’s world and a father that still thinks of her as his little girl. But a gal has her needs and when the ultimate sex god, Ian, presents an opportunity for an all out sexathon (no last names, please) it’s on. OMG! These two melted the sheets! And the shower! Fast forward and suddenly they are in each other’s orbit and Carina has a surprise. Who knew Ian was daddy material? Talk about melting hearts! Daddy Ian and his baby girl are a match made in heaven. I loved the way Ian immediately stepped up and was there for Carina and his baby. That just elevated his hotness to whole other level. But it’s not all smooth sailing for the in-charge Carina and the reformed playboy Ian. Carina has major trust issues and Ian can be a real asshole at times. But their hot chemistry wins out especially with Ian delicious dirty talking. Who’s on their knees now? As these two got on track my heart broke right along with the Little Brandt, Hanna. I hope she gets a story and it looks like it may include someone in the office that seems to be crushing on her. Fabulous writing and a heart-melting storyline with loads of steam and wonderful characters, main and secondary, makes this a terrific read. Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 stars
I received an Advance Reader Copy of the book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
I’ve been waiting with bated breath for Carina’s HEA after reading Lovers and Another did not disappoint! We got a taste of Ian and Carina’s chemistry at the end of the previous book and it was such a great ride seeing them come together as more than just lovers. As someone who has dealt with unexpected (but not unwelcome) pregnancy, it was awesome to see how Carina and Ian accepted the news and grew together as a family and as individuals. I really appreciated how fierce and independent Carina is, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t want and need support and a partner. I also really liked that there was more to Ian than the playboy that he was initially taken for and the backstories with both sets of their parents added a great layer to the overall plot. While this story had the heat and passion that I’ve grown to expect from Fiona Cole, I could relate to the emotions of this book and these characters more than before and that made a big difference for me. I also really loved the cameos from characters in other books and I totally have to go back and read the books I’ve missed so far in the Voyeur world. I’ve been a fan of Fiona Cole since she grabbed (and obliterated) my heart with Shame Me Not and I don’t see this love affair ending any time soon! 4 out of 5 wine glasses.
Like every other Fiona Cole book that I’ve read, I started this book intending to read it until I fell asleep and could not put it down. I had to know what happened next. How Ian and Carina met. How Ian was clueless about Carina’s pregnancy for so long. And ultimately how Carina fared after the breakup of her engagement in Lovers. I loved Carina’s confidence and Ian’s mouth. (Gah!!! That dirty talking mouth… makes me hot every single time!!!) I was completely thrilled with the development of this story and the relationship between Ian and Carina. I love Ian so much that he almost knocked Kevin out of my top spot of Fiona Cole heroes. Almost. I literally can not recommend this book highly enough. Fiona Cole just keeps getting better and better for me!
I have been waiting for this story since these characters were introduced in Lovers. I wanted, needed and loved this HEA! In so many ways this story is a hot mess of ships passing in the night and yet it totally works. It is a bit comical a bit emotional and plenty hot. Fiona Cole is a go to author for me because they are always easy to read and I enjoy them immensely even if they pull me out of my comfort zone or have slightly crazy plot lines.
Fiona does it AGAIN! To anyone reading this review – you NEED this series in your life. So stop here, go back to Voyeur and catch up to this one as fast as you can cause Another is AMAZING!
To read two dominating characters coming together in such a heated way, you’d think that one would have to cave to the other, but not Carina and Ian. They both stand their ground when needed, while also taking care of the needs of the other, and you may think it can’t be done, but Fiona does it so beautifully.
Carina and Ian bring so much baggage, literally and figuratively, to this relationship, and work at unpacking the mess together, all while keeping one thing as the main focus of what connects them. Their baby.
This read has so much of the real world in it, that would normally turn me off, but all it does is draw me in deeper. The drama is sprinkled in where needed, and the ever growing desire is always a thread running through the ups and downs, till it comes to an EXPLOSIVE head! Plus, it has to be said, DADDY IAN is just… *gah!* Be sure you have extra panties on standby, cause they will be needed!
Before I leave this, we have to discuss the Epilogue… I literally almost woke a sleeping household over my excitement with what is to come next. It’s going to be SOOO good!
Another is a read that will wrap you up, and throw away the key, not letting you go even when it’s over. Fiona is a goddess, and I fill always be one-clicking anything that come from her.
Absolutely loved this one. I was smitten after Lovers, and now I’m so excited to have Carina’s story. I swooned HARD for Ian and couldn’t put it down (but who needs sleep amirite??) Seriously though- Fiona your heroes are always spot on!
Surprise, surprise!
I’ve been reading all the these connected stories, beginning with Voyeur and recently binged my way through them all, happily finding out how wonderful Fiona Cole is and what I was missing…loved them and her too!
Now, the much anticipated next book, Another, continuing Carina’s story, is here and the teasers sure lived up to what’s between the pages. Too intriguing to pass up!
Carina’s life was just as she hoped for, working with her fiance at their fathers company, planning a life together with her best friend until her heart was broken into tiny pieces as it all slips slowly through her fingers. She unwittingly sets something in motion, like a runaway train, while trying to add some spice to the relationship with her fiance, also her best friend. Be careful what you wish for, Carina, as her plans backfire..BIG TIME, in a way she never saw coming.
Someone she met soon after this terrible blow to her ego and future, pops up again, that gorgeous man from the bar, Ian. Sparks fly, no last names were exchanged but some things were shared can’t be taken back! Huge life changes are in store for Carina and maybe for Ian, that man she couldn’t find or forget. The next time they meet, shock and panic is an understatement when he finds out what he’s been missing since he saw her last!
Ian has been a clueless playboy who’s been trying to change his ways, a very successful business owner, but even so, a disappointment to his absentee parents. It has shaped how he sometimes looks at himself especially now that he needs to step up into Carina’s new reality. Is he worthy…well, he’s certainly swoonworthy and I was rooting for him to win over the tough, self sufficient woman who has been so burned that trust is not a feeling she believes in anymore, if ever.
The more Carina resists, the more Ian ramps up his wooing game. I loved how he just kept trying, no matter what. What a rollercoaster ride, the best kind possible when someone finally realizes what they had and could keep, if they just had the guts to admit it. Sweet, sexy and satisfying! Loved it, recommend it. Next book please!
When Carina is offered some comfort the night her engagement falls apart, she never quite forgets the beautiful gray eyes of the man from the bar that night. Then lo and behold when she walks into to her surprise “blind date” photo shoot and she sees those same beautiful gray eyes staring at her…let’s just say the sparks ignite a major flame!!! A flame that leaves Carina with a permanent, but beautiful reminder of her photo shoot, even if she can’t find Ian to let him know since they never got each other’s last names or phone numbers.
Carina is a tough, independent woman, though, and she can certainly wade through this on her own, right? But she might not have to after finding Ian at her next business meeting, looking just as shocked and surprised to see her as she is to see him. Though they do not know each other, they can make things work even if only for the sake of their soon to come baby. They can co-parent like the adults they are. Their attraction to each other has not dimmed, though, in all the months since they’ve seen each other. Can they actually have a healthy relationship and get to know each other, knowing they’re going to be parents soon? Maybe, if Carina can stop running every time Ian admittedly screws up, and if Ian can take his head out of his ass about his “little sister”, even if Carina knows that little sister doesn’t have so sisterly feelings toward him.
Hot damn, Another is awesome! Super, super hot, witty and snarky, and full of all the feels. I absolutely loved Carina – she’s sassy and feisty and tough, the perfect foil for Ian’s dirty mouth and huge heart. I have loved all of Fiona Cole’s couples, but I really do think Carina and Ian are my favorite!
ARC via Foreword PR & Marketing.
Carina and Ian were smoking hot together. She met him when she was heartbroken over her ex fiance. The second time was a blind date set up with plenty of steam and sexy times. The third time may be the charm as Carina is pregnant with Ian’s child. Oh My this book was sexy, feel good and hilarious at the same time. The couple are definitely far from boring and the banter between them is epic. Another great read and visit with other characters in this series.
Ian, my heart!
Another great emotional story from Fiona Cole. I fell in love. A second chance romance, with so much heart. I swoon and laugh, truly an amazing story that leaves you with a warm feeling. The characters have a blazing chemistry and a sweet love, plus a baby (who doesn’t love a baby)
This story is a great addition to the Voyeur world.
5 sweet stars
*i read an arc and this is my honest opinion
I am usually not one for surprise baby stories, but Ian changed my mind!
Two hook ups, and they never exchanged phone numbers. Carina finds out that she is pregnant, and just when she has a handle on what she will need to do as a single parent – she runs into Ian because he is actually her client!
I loved how Ian took everything in stride. He tried to let Carina figure things out for herself, without being too demanding (unless it was necessary).
If you haven’t read any Fiona books before, you should check this one out!
Another has to be one of the best surprise pregnancy story i’ve ever read till date! Full of surprises, heat and explosive scenes between our hero and heroine, Another had me riveted!
I loved and enjoyed everthing about this book, from its gorgeous cover to its charming characters, our dirty talking Ian and its plot twists and turns. A gripping 4 star from me!
I loved this book! LOVED! Fiona Cole once again delivers a fantastically written novel with plenty of feels, steam, and characters that fell in love with almost immediately. I devoured this book and lost some sleep in the process, but it was so worth it.
Ian was EVERYTHING. Gah! The man was perfection. Sexy, persistent, completely devoted to Carina and got even hotter as we were able to witness him as a daddy. One word for that: YUM! Carina was equally great. She’s a strong, independent woman who I could relate to and understand. Both carried baggage because of their pasts, but I loved the chemistry between them. It was at a constant sizzle and the charge between them made the story all the better. Yes, the storyline is pretty much as you think it’s going to be, but the connection between the two MCs is so spot on that it’s so easy to overlook and just get lost in their romance.
I couldn’t get enough of this story, Fiona Cole’s addictive storytelling, and daddy Ian. I really hope we get Hannah’s story next! 5 stars.
