DanteThe moment I saw her dancing on top of the bar, I knew I had to have her.I couldn’t look away. I’d settle for one night, but she didn’t even want to give me her number. I could tell Lily was holding back, but I wasn’t afraid of a challenge. Lily I felt the second his eyes landed on me, and I knew I’d never be the same. The cosmic pull towards him was undeniable. Dante wore me down with his … pull towards him was undeniable.
Dante wore me down with his playful Leo charm and confident smile.
He made me feel fearless… maybe it was a sign I was ready to fall again.
Is true love written in the stars for these star-crossed strangers?

Book 7 in the Written in the Stars series and I am loving each story. This was no exception. Dante and Lily were great together. All it took was one look across the bar and they were gone. Loved watching two people who were on different paths in their lives fall in love. Great story with great characters. Quick read that will leave you happy and wanting more from this author and this series.
Harlow has knocked it out of the park with this one once again with Fearless to Love! This book is part of the Written in the Stars series. I love reading the Written in the Stars series. These books are not only very good, but they are also allowing me to find all these great new authors! This series is 12 zodiac signs, 12 authors, and 12 sexy, deeply romantic novellas. Layne’s book is the zodiac sign Leo.
Fearless to Love follows the story of Dante and Lily. Dante is a smooth-talking nightclub owner who hails from Italy and sports the sexiest of accents. Lily is an author who moonlights as a bartender. Dante locks eyes with Lily while she is dancing on the bar and the rest is history. Did this couple lock eyes and experience love at first sight or is it just too good to be true?
This story was the perfect novella read! It gives you sweet, sexy, and even a little suspense all in one neat little package. It’s no secret I adore Harlow but there is no bias in my reviews for her novels. They are great, some would even say fantastic! This little gem is no exception. I laughed, swooned, and even sat on the edge of my seat while reading Dante and Lily’s story. Also, if you are a fan of Harlow’s Fairlane Series you get a visit from some of her previous characters. If you read this story and want more from the other characters, check out Harlow’s Fairlane series. Harlow Layne

There is something that attracts him immediately and the two wind up chatting. From the first moment they met, they became inseparable but when Lilly’s past comes back to haunt her, will Dante be able to be her knight in shining armor?

This is my first time reading Harlow Layne and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a super fast read and the characters were wonderful. Dante is so protective over Lily. After meeting each other, they are full speed ahead with their relationship. The chemistry is off the charts.
I really liked both Dante and Lily. They’re sweet individually and together. I’m not sure I buy the whole insta-love thing but it was fun to watch these two develop a quick attachment. I also really enjoyed Lily’s huge group of wonderful friends. Many people you wouldn’t think would be happy in normal, small town lives.
Fearless to Love had a good plot twist and some pretty intense suspense in addition to the love story. It was yet another time for Dante to shine as a loving boyfriend.
You’ll like this story too especially if you’re into unexpected characters and a taste of suspense.
A fun summer read. This was a quick read with a fast paced story. Kept me entertained right from the start and was well written. I enjoyed the characters and the chemistry between them. I loved the dancing on the bar scene, I wish I had the guts to do something like that! The only downside for me, and this is completely personal preference, was the insta-love. It was just so fast! I guess that happens in real life but it doesn’t seem believable to me. This Written in the Stars story also seemed to not have to much to do/say about the Zodiac signs, like it was thrown in as an after thought. Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes insta-love books.

What a great story! The moment Dante walked into Rocco’s and saw Lily dancing on the bar he was hooked. The usual suave Italian Club owner was reduced to an awkward mess.
Lily the writer part time bar dancer had no idea what was in store for her when she agreed to spend her break getting to know Dante.
This is a really fast paced romance that was a really fun way to spend the afternoon!
This is not a story for the weak, there is A LOT of steamy, sexy times which’s are pretty descriptive and awesome! So be prepared! Harlow does it again!
I love everything I’ve read by Harlow and Lily and Dante’s insta-love didn’t disappoint. It’s a sweet, sexy, light read that tells the story of how a simple decision to take a drive and stop at a bar rather than go home can change your life for the better and lead you to true love.
I absolutely loved this book. I smiled almost the whole book. Its a sweet, instalove, happily ever after, with very little drama.
Dante decided when we left Flux that he wasn’t ready to go home to an empty home so he decided to let the road take him wherever.
Lily was helping a friend by working at a bar for the night.
When Dante sees Lily he immediately feels like he’s met his soul mate. He asks Lily for her number and a date.
Will she agree? Does fate make their paths cross?
Very sweet story, great characters, I loved Lily’s posse of friends, but honestly, I didn’t get the instalove. Like hours in they were sure they’d be together forever. I need a little more development than that, but that being said, I did enjoy the story. This was my first book by Harlow Layne, and it fit into her Fairlaine series, which Lily’s posse is a part of. It did make me want to go read those books. I liked Dante and Lily together, even if I thought they fell too hard, too fast. Worth the read.
So loved this sweet, hot novella! Talk about love at first sight! The romance of this couple Is very cute! And it had the perfect hea!
Harlow Layne strikes again with the sweetest of the sweet! GAAAAAH I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF HER HEROES! If you’re like me and always a sucker for a hero who is scorching hot and giant sweetheart while still being all Alpha GRAB THIS BOOK NOW! Fearless to love is a romance lovers freaking dream come true.
I’m talking loads of steam, loads of swoon, loads of butterflies floating around because *happy sigh* Dante is EVVVVVVVERYTHING! From start to finish this book kept me alternating between swooning and fanning myself.
I’ll keep this short and sweet; this one was a simple, love-at-first-sight, not too much drama and a whole lot of sexy scenes kinda story.
I feel it’s a shame this was not a full length novel. Both Lily and Dante were engaging and easy to like and connect with and I wouldn’t mind for a few more chapters.
Another great addition to this series and a great read for the beach.

Dante and Lily are cute together. I love how the story just develops their relationship with no angst or drawn out drama because of something they did. There were some moments were I was confused as there was no consistency in some items of the story and the flow didn’t feel right. I didn’t feel as though we needed Lily’s friends entire story to get the feel for each relationship or background. A small snippet would have been better. The astrology part of the story was only mentioned once but it didn’t have to do with the entire story so I could see why it wasn’t a focal point. I enjoyed Dante and Lily and love that the story was short.
RATING 4.5 STARS
Fearless to Love is book seven in the Written in the Stars series. Twelve months, twelve different authors. Do you believe that your Zodiac sign can influence your love life? That is the premise of this series. I’ve been so excited to see what Harlow’s contribution to this series would be and I loved it. It’s no secret that I love insta-love. This book fed my addiction. I can’t wait to tell you about it.
Dante Ricci is twenty seven years old and is the owner of a club called Flux. His now ex-partner left him in the lurch so Dante has been working long hours trying to straighten everything out and hire someone new to help take some of the burden off him. It’s after a long night at work when he just couldn’t bring himself to go home to his empty house so instead he went for a drive, ending up in Fairlane outside a bar. It looked inviting and maybe was just what he needed. Only when he went inside, his eyes were immediately drawn to the woman who was dancing along with two of her friends on the bar. He couldn’t look away. It was like nothing else existed.
“It was as if she truly was a siren and I was being lured in by her voice. And her beauty. She was crazy beautiful, and I was caught in her snare.”
Lily Valenti is twenty four years old and lives by herself just outside of town. Lily is successful in her own right, but still, due to a past bad relationship, struggles a bit with self confidence. She noticed Dante the minute he came in to the bar, but when he asked her for her phone number, she was hesitant. He was a stranger. He wore her down, though, and little did she know that her world was now forever changed.
This was such a sweet story with glimpses of some of the characters from Harlow’s previous books. I adored the way these two were so instantly drawn together. They really were perfect for each other. I also loved the way that Lily’s friends, which are more like her family, became Dante’s. Something he really needed.
If you like swoony, Italian, alpha heroes that sweep the woman they are falling for right off her feet, both literally and figuratively, then this little book is for you. There is even a bit of suspense within the pages! Books like this always leave me smiling and full of warm and fuzzies.
“You’re my world. I’m never going to let you go.”
I love this book! The idea of this series to match a story to believing in a zodiac sign is so out of this world and its such an adorable idea. I love knowing whether or not what my zodiac says about myself. I’m interested to see more of this series for the other zodiac signs.
This book was so beyond adorable! I fell in love with this insta-love story. The instant connection between Dante and Lily was immediate sparks. The amount of feelings they had for one another in such a short amount of time was perfect for their story. This book was sweet, adorable, loving, and cute all wrapped up into one. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these two.
I found this book to be sweet and charming. I recommend this book for everyone to read.
