I didn’t mean to see him naked–it was an accident.It had to be, right?Because Noah McCormick and I have never been anything more than friends. In all the years I’ve known him, he’s never once laid a finger on me. And even though he was a cute lifeguard at 16 and a hotter-than-hell sheriff’s deputy at 34, he’s always been that protective guy I could trust to keep his hands to himself. I never … I never wanted to mess with that.
Until I walked in on him getting out of the shower and saw his hard, muscular body totally bare and dripping wet. At that moment I never wanted to mess with anything so badly in my entire life.
I should have covered my eyes. Said I was sorry. At the very least, I could have handed him a towel.
After all, I was only in town for a few days, and he was just doing me a favor by escorting me to my sister’s wedding. It wasn’t a real date.
But I didn’t apologize. And he didn’t cover up.
(Talk about a hot mess.)
After all those years of being just friends, suddenly we’re insatiable.
He’s made it clear he’s not interested in romance. Which is fine with me because
I’ve got a plane ticket back to my real life at the end of the week.
It’s all in fun…or is it?

**Honest review voluntarily provided from a Complimentary Copy**
I loved Meg and Noah. This was the perfect combination of funny, sweet and sexy. I loved their history of friendship. It was nice to see more of Meg’s sister’s and to meet Noah’s family. I can’t wait to read more of this series!
Insatiable by Melanie Harlow is the third book in her Cloverleigh series. Sawyer is back in town for her sisters wedding and Cloverleigh has never felt so good. Her years away started to blend together and left her wondering about how her goals and dreams have shifted. Her best friend, Noah, is quite possibly the biggest catalyst in Meg analyzing her life. But is over a decade of friendship worth risking when neither one is quite sure what their relationship goals are? Only time and some time apart can truly answer that question.
Emotional, well-paced, and well-written, the world of Cloverleigh is enticing and the sawyer sisters are a hoot. Enjoy!
What an absolutely wonderful friends to lovers romance. Definitely one of my top 5 of this genre! These characters were everything and I couldn’t put it down. Stayed up until 3 am reading.. who needs sleep anyway?! Just kidding, this girl does, but it was so worth it! Melanie has this superpower when she writes. You get sucked into her books and it feels like you’re right there next to these real people, being a silent and invisible voyeur in their lives. If you haven’t read any of these 3 books yet, you need to start today! Heck.. just read all her books! You won’t regret it.
Friends to lovers, crossing that line has never been sweeter or sexier. Noah has always felt more for Meg, but he has never wanted to lose the one person he could count on. To Meg, Noah was a hero the only man other than her father she could count on. Can friends cross that ever elusive line and not mess it up?
This books garbs your heart and steams it up from the inside and out. Noah and Meg are combustible and romantic. Melanie’s characters are endearing, drawing you into their story, rooting for them through out the book for that HEA. Insatiable is exactly that an insatiable read that I guarantee will have you hooked and ready for more of Melanie Harlow’s imagination.
Insatiable is book 3 in the Cloverleigh Farms series written by the amazing author Melanie Harlow. Insatiable is a complete standalone and a must read if you are a fan of second chances, friends to lovers romances. This is Noah McCormick and Meg Sawyer story. They have been best friends since high school. I also loved catching up with couples from past books, Meg sisters and their parents are so much fun plus Noah’s family banter is so cool. They are getting together for Frannie’s wedding and so much more….NO SPOILERS!!
Oh my goodness, this was such a good read. I love a good friends to lovers book, because the build up between the two is always interesting. Whose gonna fall first? whose going break whose heart? How is it going to play out? These are a few things I enjoy with this troupe.
This was my first read by author Melanie Harlow and I am truly pissed at myself for not fining her sooner. I love her writing style and how her characters are easy to connect with.
Noah and Meg there is so much to be said about them, from the bond they have to their insane chemistry level. One of my favorite things about these two is how they communicated freely with each other. Even when things aren’t the best, they find a way to speak freely.
Overall this book checked all the boxes of what makes a book good. The story line, the engaging characters both main and secondary and the flow of the story. I found myself laughing and I even got a little emotional too. I highly recommend this book!!!
Angsty and swoon worthy read!!
Noah is a perfect blend of alpha and sweet. He is a sexy cop, that checks all the boxes for a perfect bbf! Melanie has this wonderful way of writing such realistic stories. If you love friends to lovers tropes and a hot cop, then go read this book!!
Another steaming hot Harlow read! Insatiable is friends to lovers romance and is the third book in the Cloverleigh Farms series.
I always know what I’m going to get with a Melanie Harlow book. They’re always sweet and sexy, with characters that make you swoon and miss them when your done reading. Insatiable is know exception, Meg and Noah are brilliant together!!
I love reading Melanie Harlow’s books. They are kinda like a soft shoe. Comfortable and warming. It’s a Saturday afternoon, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the rain kinda read. Plus you must have that glass of wine to seal the deal!
Do you hate when you have “friends” that are just too sexy for their (or your for that matter) good? Well, meet Noah and Meg. Lifesaver, best friends and sexy all rolled into these two people. Circumstances throw them together and they make an adult decision to have a bit of fun! The thing about fun . . . is sometimes love just gets in the way. Messes up all the best-laid plans and takes on a life of its own.
This book was fun, heartwarming, humorous and sexy. All the things for a 5-star, Saturday afternoon read.
Meg and Noah have been friends since they were 16. Nothing has changed that, and Meg can’t wait to see him when she comes back home to visit. Neither anticipated the spark when they saw each other for the first time in a few years. Meg is only in town for a few days, and newly single, why not have some fun with her best friend? After all, she lives in another state, and he has made it very clear he isn’t the relationship type. As Meg and Noah do more than just spend time together, real feelings develop, and the closer it gets to the end of the week the more time they spend asking themselves, is it all fun or is it more?
I’ve never read a book by Melanie Harlow before and I have to say I’m so disappointed in myself! I absolutely loved this story (and I’ll be going back to read the previous two ASAP), and I adored Meg and Noah. The hunky alpha protector, and the sweet, independent girl! They worked really well as friends but even better as a couple! I loved their back and forth, and the ‘fun times’…can I just say WOW?!?! Even though I haven’t read the first two books, I didn’t feel like I was missing any pieces of the puzzle, but I’m sure reading the first two would have only enhanced my love for this story! Also the care with which Melanie takes when writing about the secondary characters has me so stoked for more books (fingers crossed)! This was an absolutely amazing friends to lovers read that you don’t want to miss!
Noah and Meg are everything you want and need. She sucks you in with this friends to lovers book. It’s one of my favorites I this series by far.
4 stars for – Insatiable – book three in the Cloverleigh farms series by Melanie Harlow. This can be read as a complete standalone but I adore this series of sisters who find love when they least expect it and highly recommend you read them all. This is a friends to lovers romance that spans nearly two decades and thousand of miles.
Meg Sawyer is a lawyer turned political strategist who moved to Washington, D.C. to start her career. Having to leave her friends and family in Michigan behind was hard but she always called and texted whenever she could. Now with her baby sister getting married she is looking forward to her trip home more than ever. Newly single she decides to head home early and visit her old friend/savior who always cheers her up when she’s feeling down but what she didn’t expect is other feelings he starts to stir up in her of the sexy times variety.
Noah McCormick is the best son, brother and deputy sheriff he could be but he has vowed to never be anyone’s husband or father in this lifetime or the next. Noah watched what his parents went through and has one failed relationship under his belt that turned him sour on the whole prospect of happily ever after so he decided not to bother with more than hookups for the foreseeable future. What Noah wasn’t prepared for was Meg coming home and wanting to explore the connection they’ve always had but never acted on. Hooking up with Meg has been a years long fantasy but doing it without developing feelings will be the hard part.
This was a sweet romance that checked all the boxes and had plenty of sexy parts to make you swoon. We finally got to have all the sisters together and I know April and Sylvia’s stories will be awesome too. Hoping for more from Cloverleigh farms and the Sawyer clan soon.
Meg is a career woman who lives in a big city. Noah is a K9 deputy who has no desire to leave his small town. These two have been best friends since they were teenagers. When Meg comes back to town for her sister’s wedding, the best friends are reunited but are unprepared for their relationship to change.
Noah and Meg will steal your heart! These two are super sweet one minute and super hot the next. Not only did I love watching their story unfold but I also love the tidbits of info revealed to us about the other sisters!
I absolutely love everything that Melanie Harlow writes and Insatiable is no different. This heartwarming friends-to-lovers story had me hooked from the first page. I seriously couldn’t stop reading! I loved Meg and Noah’s story, it was sweet, swoon-worthy and the chemistry between these to characters was off the charts. I’d highly recommend the Cloverleigh Farms Series if you are new to Melanie Harlow! I can’t wait to see what she writes next!
When I think of Melanie Harlow, I think of a sweet love story. I know I will always love the hero and the heroine and it will be a sweet love story. I was NOT expecting the heat that came with Noah and Meg’s story! WOW! It was HOT and I loved it! Meg and Noah’s friends to lovers relationship is 17 years in the making and when they cross that line, man do they cross it! This story had all of the sweetness that I’ve come to love in a Harlow book, but it had so much heat, it scorched the pages as well! I love this series and Meg and Noah’s story brought tears to my eyes. Great read!
Insatiable features an independent woman, a sexy cop who had me drooling, and the friends-to-lovers trope! I was ready to dive into this as soon as it arrived on my kindle.
This third installment has to be my favorite of the series so far. We get to see even more of the Sawyer family, especially the Sawyer sisters bonding, which I thought was a fantastic addition.
Meg was set for life. She was an attorney in a big city, which is the career she’s always loved, and in a relationship she’s been in for over three years. Nothing should go wrong, except it does. Her boyfriend dumps her for always putting her job first. The ex even tells her she never makes time for herself. She takes that to heart and instead of going to her sister’s wedding for the weekend, she decides to head over to Cloverleigh Farms a whole lot earlier.
It is where she reunites with Noah, a sexy cop with a heart of gold. Because of his job, he also understands that importance of said job, plus being busy with family obligations. He’s dead set on not dating until Meg arrives and stirs up these feelings inside of him that he had long suppressed.
The friendship between Meg and Noah was wonderful. These two together gave me all the feels and they weren’t even dating! It all felt so natural. Plus, I totally loved every time Noah would boost Meg’s confidence in finding a new guy. He really thought highly of her and who wouldn’t want that in a friend turned lover?
The steam in this book is I had to fan myself a few times. There’s this one scene that had me re-reading it a few times because hot damn. Can I get that with a side of the sexy cop, please? Melanie Harlow brought it ON! Just read below.
As I mentioned above, something that I loved was all the bonding the Sawyer sisters got in this novel. It has to be one of my favorite things about this story. The one sister I wasn’t expecting to get much of was Sylvia, but I’m so happy Melanie finally brought her into the story and shed light on her life! I’m hoping, if there’s another book, that it features Sylvia because she deserves her HEA after everything she’s gone through.
Overall, Insatiable is a super steamy and sexy, yet sweet and swoony friends-to-lovers romance that I recommend to all lovers of this trope!
I absolutely loved this latest book by Melanie Harlow. Meg and Noah are fantastic, fun characters. They have been friends for 17 years, since Noah saved Megs life in a swimming accident. When Meg comes home for her sisters wedding they realize they feel more for each other.
Melanie’s writing pulled me in, as always, from the very first page, and kept me turning the pages well into my sleep time! In addition to loving Meg and Noah, and their very hot romance, I loved all of their family members! Megs four sisters are hilarious and real as are Noah’s sister and mother. His relationship with his twin brother is amazing!
Although I have read and loved,all of the books in this series, this can definitely be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend!!!
I was given a free ARC of this book but my opinions are strictly my own.
I love this book so much. Melanie Harlow writing, characters and storyline are just amazing. I could not put it down and I didn’t want to put it down that good. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Meg and Noah have been friends for like 20 years. She comes home for her sister’s wedding. Noah and Meg get together and catch up but also catch feelings. But Meg live is in Detroit and Noah doesn’t want a relationship. Can it be more ? Great characters and storyline. Love the topics this book touch. Definitely recommend
