On paper, he’s perfect. In real life, he’s even better.From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, S.L. Scott, comes a new compelling Standalone Suspense Romance that has been called “Best of 2019” and “Heart-stoppingly Beautiful.”Winter Nobleman is complicated. To say the least.It was supposed to be simple. Go to Paris, find a client’s daughter, and close a multi-million-dollar deal. … multi-million-dollar deal. Easy. Then I meet her. Stormy blue eyes, quick wit, and the secrets she keeps on the tip of her tongue make me forget my mission for a moment, or six, and why I’m in Paris in the first place—to bring her home.
Distracted by her beauty, I fail to notice the others lurking with missions of their own.
Bennett Everest is the twist I never saw coming. Talk about perfect timing.
He steals my breath the first time I see him and breathes hope back into my heart. He’s a giant in my eyes, a king among men with patience and love to share in spades. Six foot three. Whiskey-colored eyes. Solid gold on the inside. Despite the dirty deeds of my past, he sees the person I am meant to be and not the person I have become.
If the lies don’t kill us, will the truth set us free?

In Force of Nature we get Bennett Everest’s story. Although this title is a complete standalone if you have read Ethan and Hutton’s story with Everest and Bad Reputation you will already know Bennett’s character.
Winter is a strong, resilient and complicated heroine. She’s independent, headstrong and feisty, but quite endearing despite her ability to find herself in troublesome predicaments.
Bennett is an alpha with a big heart. He’s sweet, thoughtful, protective and loyal to those he holds dear.
The connection Winter and Bennett share is quick, yet believable. Their witty, charming and flirtatious banter will draw you into their story, and leave you with a smile upon your face.
Force of Nature is such an apt title for a read that is jam packed full of secrets, action, intrigue, suspense, passion and romance. The twists and turns and surprises just keep coming.
A unique an engaging romantic suspense, and I look forward to seeing what Ms Scott comes up with next.
I love when a book can sweep me into the story as if I’m right there living it. I felt the flavor of the espresso’s, the smells and the sounds of France. Winter has secrets but so does Ben. Once they find out what each other are hiding are they going to be able to work through it and be what the other needs.
I loved the suspense, the back and forth between them, I was rooting for them to get their HEA! I haven’t read the first two in this series and wasn’t lost at all.
I’ve waited to for what seems like forever to read this story, it was worth every second. I had a hard time putting it down. Just when you THINK you know where this is heading. Who Winter and Bennett are as people. The shoe drops and you find yourself saying (well least I did lol) OMG REALLY! And that’s just the first few chapters!
You do get extra bonus’s throughout the book. Little mentions of a certain yummy book bf rock star. A few great scenes of the other yummy Everest’s. All of it just adds up to a really great book!
I freakin LOVED IT. I think you will too!
What an amazing book!! The meet-cute if one of my favorites of all time! I could not put this book down! Winter and Bennet are amazing! This book has it all! Love, HEAT, and intrigue that will keep you enthralled until the very end! LOVED!!

Another fab read from this author to complete the Everest brothers trilogy.
“I don’t know what spell we’re under, but it’s a bubble that’s bound to burst.”
Bennett Everest is on a mission in Paris with a view to closing a lucrative business deal. However, when he meets the target, he never expects to be attracted to her, nor to have an instant rapport with her. She’s stunning and mysterious, and he’s loathe to tell her why he’s really in Paris.
“Light equals hope. I need light in this dark time of my life. Who knew I’d find it in an American in Paris?”
Winter Nobleman is trapped in Paris with dangerous secrets. Bennett is temptation that she can’t afford yet she finds it so difficult to turn away from the glimpse of happiness he represents. But, at what cost?
“I curl into him, molding myself to his body wanting to sink into his arms, his heart, his life, his world.”
I loved the romance and banter between Bennett and Winter – it was beautifully written. There were elements of mystery, suspense and danger that made this an exciting read. Bennett was gorgeous, charming and so protective! I adored him. Winter was something of a martyr but she could be frustratingly stubborn and her actions lead to dangerous consequences. I loved the family dynamics of the Everest family – the brothers and their wives share such a close bond. A fab all-round read.

S.L. Scott did an amazing job of building the romance while increasing suspense in this story. For the first half of Bennett and Winter’s story, I felt like I was watching a sweet and swoony destination romance with the beautiful Paris scenery as the backdrop.
The instant connection between Ben and Winter was tangible to me. They had such an easy going feel between them that sparked and startled both characters. Neither wanted to ignore it, and slowly they built it into something so much stronger.
As they grew closer the suspense built until I was practically biting my nails – I was so on edge. Bennett and his brothers swooped in like the charismatic protectors they are and joined forces to take down the bad guys and free Winter from the invisible shackles that have kept her from reading living and fulfilling her every potential. With Bennett by her side, he proved her the support she needed to stand tall and fight back. Her strength was incredible and she handled it all with such grace.
I’ve only read S.L. Scott’s rockstar series’ and I was impressed and captivating with how she kept me enthralled and in suspense with this novel. The characters were endearing and sweet and likeable. I just adored everything about them.
My only issue- and it’s minor- is that I hadn’t realized this was also connected to two previous novels. Bennett’s brothers found their loves in EVEREST and BAD REPUTATION. Had I known, I would have preferred to read their stories before Bennett’s. I like to read in chronological order.
What a wonderful read!! This book had it all suspense, witty banter, romance, attention to detail, swoon worthy moments, anticipation and so much more. I was left on the edge of my seat while reading this book. Then left in breathless anticipation for when the truth is revealed behind his being there.
This is a book I would definitely recommend and you don’t have to read the other brothers’ stories in order to enjoy this one so don’t worry about that. Be prepared to fall in love with Bennett and Winter!!
Man, oh man, SL Scott, you know how to bring characters to life!!!!! Can you please deliver ALL of the Everest Brothers to my bedroom ASAP?!? The book just wasn’t enough for me, I need them in person!!!!! #HotAF #SexyAH #GoSLScott #YouRockedIt
All Bennett wants to do is close a business deal and if that means travelling to Paris to bring home the man’s missing daughter he will do it. He was prepared for a lot of things in life, but he wasn’t prepared for Winter. From their first meeting at a café when he rescues her from some unwanted attention, he is drawn to her and knows that he will be anything to be near her and protect her with his life.
Winter is a complicated woman with a complicated past. She doesn’t know who she can trust so she trusts no one but there is something about Bennett that has her reconsidering that plan. She knows that she shouldn’t allow anyone near the nightmare of her life but Bennett is determined to show her that not only can she trust him, but he will protect her as well.
This story is filled with so much suspense and so many twists that you wonder what could possibly be revealed next all escalate into a conclusion like no other. They knew from the moment they met that they were soulmates and nothing or no one would stand in their way. Full of emotion, hot chemistry and humorous banter you will fall in love with Bennett and Winter and catching up with the rest of the Everest clan is a bonus.
I have always enjoyed SL Scott’s writing and this book is no difference.
It took me a couple of chapter’s to get into where I am usually hooked straight away but once I was hooked I was totally hooked.
The chemistry between Bennett and Winter was palpable and off the charts hot and the banter between them is witty and engaging as they cross Paris. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see when they would give into temptation.
Bennett, the youngest Everest brother, agrees to travel to Paris to find a clients daughter. Soon as he meets Winter his world is turned upside down. He is my favourite Everest brother.
SL Scott has delivered a great tale of forgiving yourself, secrecy, love and trust. Winter had been through so much and needed to discover herself again. She maybe a force of nature but with Bennett at her side she is stronger then she thinks.
***I received an eBook copy from the author at no cost***
This book is packed with all kinds of action, drama, romance, and of course, a side of steam that only S.L. Scott can bring.
Bennett Is amazing. He’s sexy, charming, good at what he does, and amazing between the sheets too. He was all cool and collected, ready to get Winter and get back home, but the job isn’t as easy as he thought it would be and then feelings get in the way and make it exciting.
Winter is a strong and fierce heroine. She’s survived all kinds of things and she never gives up. She fights and moves forward, and I loved this about her. She’s probably my favorite heroine I’ve read yet in 2019.
This book is packed with all kinds of action! I was on the edge of my seat, gripping my kindle and anxiously awaiting what was coming next. Scott writes action so, so good too! Everything was vivid, her descriptions were amazing, and it felt like I was watching the book on the big screen the whole time I was reading it.
The chemistry and connection between Bennett and Winter might be my favorite part of this whole story. This is definitely a slow burn, but once it burns, it’s like a five-alarm fire breaks out. These two are amazing for each other and I was swooning like crazy alongside them.
This is a standalone book, but Scott has written two previous books about the other Everest brothers, and I would highly recommend checking those out as well. Scott’s writing is addicting and once you pick up a book, you’re going to want to keep devouring them!
Five stars to this amazing novel!
If I could i would give force of nature 6 stars. Bennett Everest finds himself agreeing to fly to Paris to bring Winter Nobleman back home to reunite her with her farther and gain media contract with his Multi million dollar company. Once he landed in Paris and he found Winter, Bennett was struck with a feeling he never thought he would feel and he was not sure how he felt about this. It was fait when he found her sitting outside at a cafe and he would save her from a drunk man who would not leave her alone; they quickly hit it off flirting with quick witty comments but she abruptly got up to leave. Bennett followed her down the street not revealing why he really was in Paris and this made him feel bad that he was lying to Winter, they got to the end of the street and Winter said goodnight and told Bennett he needed to see the Eiffle tower at night before he left Paris. Bennett was falling for her and kept reminding himself he had a Job to do, after his second day he received a call from his older brother Ethan asking Bennett what he was doing in Paris, Ethan wanted him home that he had a bad feeling about this whole situation and did not want harm to come to his brother. Ethan told him he was not happy that they were involved in a client’s family problems. Bennett said he would be on the next flight home to New York. Well he missed his flight and Winter begins to open up a little and they are both blindsided with who is really behind the reason she is trapped in Paris. You will be holding your breath as the story continues and danger is all around, you will be thinking will they make in out. The Everest brothers are never boring. Thank you for another amazing story.
3.5 stars
Mysterious circumstances and a past that isn’t quite kosher, lead Bennett and Winter on a path neither thought to travel. For Bennett, it starts with a pink sweater. For Winter…well you will just have to see.
Force of Nature is an Everest family story so be prepared for everyone to get involved. There’s also some honorable mentions that will make you smile. Watch out for falling Everests and even Lars seems to have a budding interest.

WOW! I’ve been anxiously awaiting Bennett Everest’s book and SL Scott totally delivered with this one. Romance at its best with enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire book. This title couldn’t have been more fitting because Bennett and Winter are both forces of nature in their own rights. These two couldn’t be more perfect for each other. I know a lot of people don’t care for the insta-love, but the way Scott delivers this one is just pure kismet. Two souls that are meant to find each other at that exact moment in time. Yes, I realize there are extenuating circumstances surrounding them, but that just makes this story all the better.
Bennett and Winter are both charming, witty and a force to be reckoned with. And hot. Did I mention hot? The chemistry between these two will melt your kindle. Forced into a life that she feels she brought on herself, Winter struggles with a lot of things throughout this book, but is such a strong and feisty woman and I just simply adored her strength and determination. And Bennett…well he just swooned me off my feet. Total Alpha male, but in all the right ways. He can be my hero any day 😉 Another fantastic read in this series and has quickly become my favorite of the three.

“”When I’m with you, I’m the person I want to be.””
This book is soooooo cute! I fell in love with Bennett and Winter within the first few chapters. It was so easy to open up to them and let them into my readers life. Reading this book made me smile constantly because it simply made me happy. And Bennett tried really hard to steal Ethan’s crown as my king of book boyfriends. He almost succeeded, but well, only almost
”Gray can’t hold a candle to his sun. His six-foot-three frame has solid gold insides.”
Bennett and Winter are a power couple. Sexy, cute, with attraction off the charts. Showing off relationship goals, these two make me whirl around in their fire where heat and pure chemistry captivated me and connected me with their love. Tbh sometimes it comes off as a little too cheesy, but hey what romance reader doesn’t love some cheese here and there?
””Your eyes tell the story of your past pain, but your lips kiss me like there’s no tomorrow.”
Both characters are charming, strong, careing and clever with wit. Please go and experience them for yourself. Their story is as much entertaining as it is thrilling. It has a perfect pace and balances the lovestory and action like no other.
””Love is seeing someone and realizing they’re your soul mate. We weren’t just two people attracted to each other. We were two souls drawn together.””
Force of Nature is a suspenseful intriguing story that captures you with its beautiful descriptive writing and wraps you up in an epic tale of love.
S.L. Scott has crafted a heart-stopping exquisite story that completely blew me away. Force of Nature is a suspenseful, thrilling, sexy and romantic love story.
From the moment Bennett and Winter meet there are twists and turns and angst in their story. Their chemistry is undeniable and just pours out of the pages. I loved how one minute their relationship was fun and flirty with quick-witted banter and then the next breath it was intensely sensual and sexy.
This book delivers everything; beautiful locations, romance, mystery, intrigue and witty banter. Together with an intricate plot and emotional spice and heat which S.L. Scott always perfects in her writing.
This is a tale of an emotional journey of discovering one’s self, self-forgiveness and tenacity, not to mention filled with suspense, secrecy and love. However, it ultimately demonstrated that true love can always overcome any obstacle. Winter and Bennett’s story was unique and incredible, flawlessly written and beautiful. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!!
“We’re all screwed up. Just some of us are better at hiding it. Life is full of surprises . Some good. Some bad. It’s how we handle them that makes the difference.”
S.L. Scott has done it again with Force Of Nature. Every page of this book left me swooning in its romance. I lost count of how many times the words of this story had me absolutely melting. It was a unique, romantic read, with even more wonderful character’s. I loved the air of suspense and thrill this story also brought. It kept me guessing until the very end. Every page was like a different piece to the puzzle. I loved the easy banter and chemistry between these characters. Winter and Bennett are seriously so perfect together. I found myself hanging on their every word. They took you on a emotional ride that you never wanted to get off of. I was not ready to see this story end. I swear I could have read about these characters for many more books and never complained.
“What do you see?”“It’s not what I see.” There’s an unfamiliar tremble to her tone. “It’s what I feel.”“What do you feel, Winter?”“Hope.”
Winter is one of those fiesty heroines you can’t help but love. I could easily see myself being her friend in real life. She was witty, charming, and had banter for days. Winter definitely knew how to keep you in your toes. I was on the edge of my seat wanting all the answers to her many secrets. My heart also ached for Winter many times over this book. No matter what obstacle her character faced she faced ir head on and with her head held high. I definitely admired her characters strength.
“Bennett Everest makes me want to confess my sins and then beg for forgiveness.”
Bennett is my favorite Everest yet! He is mine and I seriously call dibs! Everything about Bennett oozed charm and romance. Almost every word out of his mouth had me melting into a puddle of swoons. He is seriously one of the most romantic hero’s I think I have ever read. I just could not get enough of his character. He is the perfect book boyfriend times a thousand.
“I could eat up the attention, losing my better judgment in the spoils of his kindness, and then leave him burning in the ashes of the betrayal.
*4&1/2 STARS*
Well earned for one if the most swoon worthy romances I have read this year. If you need a feel good romance, packed full of mystery I can NOT recommend reading this book enough. It will stay with you long after the story ends.
Force of Nature is a mysterious intriguing story set against the backdrop of a beautiful romantic love story. As I read the book I could picture the scenes so vividly thanks to the stunning photos the author shared. The writing was beautifully descriptive I felt like I was in Paris with them falling in love.
Bennett made my little old heart flutter, he’s witty and charming, strong and supportive. I defy you not to fall under his spell. Winter is my new girl crush. You know something is very wrong in her life but she is fighting the only way she knows how. Her strength of character shines just as much as her vulnerability. They have undeniable chemistry, I just loved then as a couple. Their verbal sparring is a kind of foreplay it’s fun and flirty. There is danger lurking for both of them which happily brings past characters into the story.
If your a romantic like me you will fall in love with this book.
I had been dying to get my hands on this book. You first meet Bennett in his brother’s story, however this is a complete stand alone. For weeks S.L. Scott has been sharing little snippets of the book and the most swoon worthy photos which she said were inspiration for Bennett’s character. And she wasn’t wrong, this story was everything you could image, it was romantic, sexy and the banner between them is awesome. But there is also suspense which is one thing I love in a story. You are really hooked from the very first page right up until it ends. You just can’t go wrong with S.L. Scott’s books.
Holy BANANAS!!! I’m speechless….I’m bursting with ALL. THE. FEELS!! Bennett Everest is my new book boyfriend, that’s a hard title to reach. His charm is insurmountable. The shear size of his heart is indescribable. This man is PURE LOVE. Just bursting at the seams with love, devotion, passion, and loyalty. There is no other like him. SL Scott has just BLOWN MY MIND with Force of Nature. Her books are getting BETTER and BETTER!! Leaving me swooning, holding onto my last breath, and never wanting to let go of this old world love story.
After taking a few minutes after turning the last page, I feel like I’ve just devoured a romantic suspense movie. Black and white scenes replay through my mind like a movie highlight reel. An old world romance, with the city of love as their playground, lost in shadows of danger, intrigue and love at first sight. This book is INCREDIBLE. Each scene, each chapter is EPIC, the writing on ANOTHER LEVEL. You FEEL every moment of Bennett and Winter together, from their first chance meeting to the conclusion of their whirlwind love story.
Never have I read a heroine like Winter, a warrior in the making, she truly grew and developed into an outstanding woman. Force of Nature absolutely captured my attention, I’m still reeling after the last page. Every twist and turn, an emotional roller coaster will have you holding your breath until all is revealed. I LOVED EVERY PAGE!!! Force of Nature is one of my TOP READS OF 2019 – this romance makes my heart SING!!! Bennett has now joined the ranks of top book boyfriend material with his dreamy brothers, Hutton and Ethan. These men will steal your heart!
