They’re a couple of control freaks, but they can’t control each other.AdeleFor years I was forced to live a life I hated, but I broke free, and now own a small real estate business. One that’s deep in the red. In walks the robotic and rich Mr. Petrov in need of an agent. He’s an answer to my problems, but also a mystery I need to uncover. Even his epic assholery can’t dissuade my curiosity.… can’t dissuade my curiosity.
Michael proves he’s no robot. He’s so genuine I can’t help but fall. As a shadow from my past threatens him and my sister, it’s my responsibility to protect them. I take care of my own problems, and when Michael wants to step in, I make one thing clear: white knights need not apply.
Michael
I’m ambitious, I’m successful, and I know what I want. I’m also frustratingly unsettled, searching for something I can never find. A place where I can be myself. Where I’ll feel at home. My sexy new real estate agent knows what I need before I can say a word. She sees through me.
Adele makes me want to give up control, but trust is a word I’ve forgotten. How can I give myself over to her when she doesn’t tell me anything about her past? How can I trust her? I guess it’s a good thing she doesn’t take no for an answer.

The good storyline and the detailed characters had me hooked from the very first page which made this book well worth the read!
I fell in love with Adele and Michael, two strong, damaged characters who turn out to be perfect for another. Highly recommend!
This is the second book I have read in this series and I have to say that it is PHENOMENAL! I could not get enough of this story. We have two strong main characters that are set in their ways and they don’t take crap from anyone. They are Alpha Male and Female and that mix is awesome because I like to see who is going to give in first and I got a great surprise when I found out who gave in first in this story. Totally took me by surprise and I loved every minute of it.
Adele has her own Real Estate business and she is struggling until her friend introduces her to the very handsome and rich Michael. Michael is looking to put roots down somewhere and settle down. He is restless and tired of doing the same thing over and over again so he is ready to settle and with the help of Adele he will find a home to settle into.
Only these two never thought they would fall for each other and when they do trouble comes knocking at Adele’s door and Micheal wants to help but Adele is used to doing things for herself. So it was funny watching these two alphas struggle to see who was going to win. I loved every minute of this story and it is a must read! So go out and one click the series and enjoy every alpha male in each story.
Adele is a hard working real estate agent who is just trying to take care of herself. Mr. Michael Zelig who was referred to her by a friend comes to her looking for a property. Only he is so uptight and demanding that she considers ending the job, but is also having a hard time fighting her feelings for him! Michael finds himself attracted to Adele, but he has trust issues that he can’t get past. Will they give into their attraction to each other?

I loved Adele a lot. She is a fun character with lots of charm and energy. She wants to make her way in the world without having to depend on others. Through the story you slowly learn what brought her to being this way. Then you have Michael who is co closed off to others at first that he doesn’t want to form attachments to others even though under the stoic exterior he has lots of emotions for others. I loved watching these two come together. Cannot wait for the next story in this series.
Bursting Out is the first book of this series and by this author that I have read, and I loved reading it. My first impression of Adele is of a free spirit to Michael’s stick in the mud. I loved following story these two very opposite people who also have much in common. I found myself drawn into their story, and look forward to reading the other books in the series.
I like romances that feature a strong female heroine! Adele was strong, smart, and was able to stand up to Michael and his oddly controlling ways. They made an interesting couple as Michael puts her through test after test in a way that Adele didn’t appreciate. I liked the way she finally put a stop to it by standing up to him.
Turned out this quirky couple ended being a good match as they were able to open up to each other and be vulnerable with each other.
Their romance and relationship grows as the story goes on. Romantic and sexy!

Bursting Out was my first read by Ceri Grenelle and now I can’t wait to dive into everything else she has to offer! This story was everything I wanted and more. Sexy, brooding billionaire. Check. Sassy, independent heroine. Check. Mutual dislike from the beginning. Check. And an out of this world, but totally realistic love story to go with it. You can’t go wrong with this one. 5 stars is not enough! Buy it now!!
The fourth book in the Stupid Awesome Love series a well written story that held my interest throughout. This is Michael/Misha Petrov and Adele Thomas/Thatcher’s story of two people with pasts they have to let go to move forward. A story that flows smoothly from page to page a book I enjoyed reading.

This is the 2nd book I’ve read written Ceri Grenelle; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

The plot is not to bad but some part of this story are way too slow. Also there is a bit too much of thing who conviniently click together.

This contemporary romance had ongoing humor and an air of mystery which surrounded both the hero and the heroine that kept me turning the pages. The heroine, Adele, is a super sassy up-and-coming real estate agent. Mr. Zelig was referred to her by a mutual friend. Mr. Z is very particular about what he is looking for in a property. He is so demanding that Adele nearly drops him as a client. They’re both intrigued by each other, but each is wary of pursuing any relationship beyond realtor-client. Will this stand? And what are their mysteries? What will Adele think when she finally learned his identity?
The book has some of the standard issues with punctuation, grammar, and usage, but it did not overly detract from the story.
If you are looking for a contemporary romance with good humor, a broody hero, and a little bit of mystery, this book might be for you.
This is the fourth book in the series but is the first one I have read and now I cannot wait to go and check out the rest of the series. This was a really good well-written book I just loved Adele and Michael they were good likable characters and they had me chuckling at times and the chemistry between them makes for some good steamy scenes. I really enjoyed this and would recommend it.
Bursting Out is Book 4 in Ceri Grenelle’s Stupid Awesome Love Series and so far it is my favorite. To be honest I have not read book 3 yet but still.
Michael, Misha, Mr.Z, Petrov whatever his name is and Adele are so amazing together. Is it possible to develop a crush on both? If it’s not I must have just broken something because yes, I fell in love with them both. Adele is so funny that it was love at first line. Michael is one of those heroes that is not all Alpha. More like a cuddly teddy bear with a grizzly face. He looks tough but inside he is so nervous and shy that you can’t not fall in love with him. The chemistry between these two is so amazing I’m going to have a book hangover for a while.
P.S. Watch out for the steamy scenes, may cause burns. Highly recommend!
