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?

A friends-to-lovers story that packs a real punch. Highly recommended!
This is Book 3 in the “Cloverleigh Farms” Series and this time is abou Noah and Meg. Absolutely wonderful story!
Noah and Meg have been friends forever…she comes for Frannie’s wedding and although they are in touch all the time, when they see each other again the physical attraction is stronger than their willingness to keep the friendship over the chemistry they cannot avoid feeling for each other…
Great story. All the characters from the previous two books appear here and make it even more delicious and enjoyable!
Off the charts chemistry! Loved this friends to lovers story and I can’t get enough Cloverleigh Farms and the Sawyer sisters. Meg and Noah’s story was so sweet and incredible.
“I want the chance to make you happy. I want to be the only one you’ll ever love. And I will fight like hell every single day of my life to deserve it.”
Insatiable is the third book in the Cloverleigh Farms Series and it follows the story of Noah and Meg. After a recent break up, Meg has even more of a reason to return home. Her sister is getting married and Meg needs to surround herself with those she loves. She’s ready for a break and to have some fun. Of course, returning home means running into her best friend Noah. He once saved her life and they’ve been fast friends ever since. Their friendship has survived many ups and downs and for the first time, they’re both very single. Both Noah and Meg have always wondered “What If”, but have never had the courage to take the plunge. He’s made it clear he’s not looking for love, but that doesn’t mean that these two friends can’t enjoy the finer benefits of their connection. It was supposed to just be fun. It was only supposed to last a week. However, the passion between these two burns brighter than ever. Will they take the plunge into something more or will they crash and burn before they even start?? There’s only one way to find out….
Insatiable pulled me in from the very first page. I fell in love with Meg and Noah instantly. I adored their friendship and just how they got each other. They’ve been there for one another through thick and thin. Each of them always had feelings for the other, but was afraid to do anything about it. I thought Noah and Meg had excellent push and pull and I loved all of the will they/won’t they moments. I couldn’t wait to see if these two would give into the tension that burned between and boy did these two ever burn up the pages together. I couldn’t get enough of the two of them together. It was just so easy. Yes, Noah had his moments where he just drove me crazy. But, he had such a big heart and had some serious fears that he needed to work through. At the end of the day, he had a heart of gold, and just needed to take a leap.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a great addition to the Cloverleigh Farms Series. I loved the characters and I loved the friends to lovers romance. This book was well written and entertaining. It was sexy, angsty and kept me glued to the pages. Insatiable was a great read from beginning to end and I had a fun time getting wrapped up in this story.
If you love small town, best friend romance then look no further. Insatiable is such a wonderful read. It is filled with so much heart, love and family that it will give you feelings for days. Meg and Noah are childhood best friends and both have been hiding their attraction for each other for years. I love the connection between Meg and Noah. You feel the love between them. Meg is sweet and I love her relationship with her sisters. Yes you’ve met the Sawyer sisters in previous books. The banter between the sibilings will have you giggling some. You will swoon for Noah and feel were he is coming from too at times. Other times you may just want to knock some sense into him. I love Noah and Meg together and so will you. This is my favorite in the Cloverleigh Farms series as of now. I can’t wait for more to come.
He had known Meg for over 16 years. He saved her life on the first day of his lifeguard duty and they had been friends since then. Through all the ups and downs in his life, she always remained his steadfast friend. Yet, that undercurrent he felt every time he talked to her or saw her still remained. It was a calming yet titillating effect that had his body reacting to her. Now that she is here for her sister’s wedding, can he continue to resist the attraction so they won’t ruin their friendship?
Sometimes it just takes time for the chemistry to simmer until it comes to a boiling point. Meg and Noah are like the pot of milk that is about to boil over. Once they face their attraction and act on it, there is no way to stop it from overflowing.
They both have jobs and responsibilities that hold them back. Yet, the strong foundation of their friendship and this love that is flourishing is enough to have them face their emotions and make decisions. Not every love affair has a happy ending. How will they deal with their futures?
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
A tale of two friends becomes a step by step guide for falling in love. Insatiable takes the road less traveled to the most obvious result. Noah and Meg share a bond that was years in the making. From childhood hero to adult lawman, Noah has always pined for the one that got away. When a family celebration reunites him with the girl he could never forget, friendship is the farthest thing from his mind. Will Meg and Noah listen to their hearts and take a chance on love? Harlow teases with humor. Tempts with romance and goes all heart when it comes to telling a sweet story.
I love this series by Melanie, and I loved this one! 5 stars for this one!
Meg and Noah have been friends since he saved her life when they were younger. They’ve kept in touch over the years since Meg moved away, and now Meg is heading home for her sisters wedding, and she can’t wait to see Noah again. Though she wasn’t prepared to see so much of him!
These two pick up where they left off, close friends, but can they cross the line and have fun just while she’s in town and not ruin the friendship they have had all this time?
I recommend this one, I think you will fall in love with these two, and wish you had a best friend like Noah! Grab this one when it releases!
I loved Meg and Noah’s story even more than her sister, Chloe’s! These two have been friends forever and are just gonna hang out while she’s home for her sister’s wedding. After all, neither can make any sort of commitment- she doesn’t even live there! But it does turn to friends with benefits that is just supposed to go back to normal when she leaves, hmm.
It felt like the emotions were raw and right on the surface for this couple, and even for other characters in the story. And sometimes Noah was a big stupid jerkface with how he handled things. Meg didn’t let him just walk all over her or decide how everything was gonna be- she fights for what she deserves.
On another note, the passionate scenes were really good. I especially liked the one involving handcuffs!
Noah and Meg
So. Good!!!! I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed reading Noah and Megs story. For almost 2 decades they have been the best of friends. They keep i touch even with miles between them. The friends quickly becomes more when Meg comes home early for her sisters wedding. They both agree to certain terms. But will the agreement stay in tact or will feelings change?
” Meg was always the best fantasy, because she was both familiar and untouchable.”
The in depth conversations and revelations are something that makes me smile so hard when I remember the wonderfulness of this story. This story pulled at my heart. The love and devotion Noah has for his family is amazing. The life lessons, the personal growth within in the words left me teary eyed and feeling the love. The heat and steam and chemistry is amazing. wonderful friends to lovers romance.
I highly recommend reading.

I am absolutely LOVING the Cloverleigh Farms Series by Melanie Harlow. The books just keep getting better as I read them.
I loved every word of Insatiable. This book had it all. It is one of the best friends to lovers story I have read. It was sweet, swoony, sexy but also had all the emotional pull I want to feel when I am reading a book. These characters and their story were so easy to connect with!!! I would love to live in this town with all of Sawyer sisters.
Insatiable is the third book in this series and is a standalone novel. But you do see reoccurring characters and part of this storyline revolves around Frannie & Mack (Couple from book 1) With that being said, I would recommend reading this series in order. You don’t want to spoil the endings of the other books by reading this one first.
If you love a romance novel that has humor, sex, banter and two characters that are just meant for each other, then you want to read this book!!! Melanie has a brilliant way of writing her stories that you can’t help but root for the couple to get their HEA. Even if it isn’t smooth sailing all along the way. This book is told in Dual POV. I loved the flow and pace of the story.
In this book we follow Meg Sawyer and Noah McCormick. These two have been friends since they were 16 years old and Noah saved Meg’s life. They have the friendship every aspires to have. Whether they talk everyday or every couple months, everytime they do connect it is like coming home. They are so comfortable with each other. They can tell each other everything. So when meg accidentally walks in on Noah coming out of the shower….Will they take this to another level or will things become awkward??
I loved these characters. They are both a little flawed and are hesitant to commit to someone long term. When we find out why Noah is so hesitant my heart broke for him. I was so glad to see that he was able to change his thinking in the long run These two characters will having you laughing throughout the book, but they will also melt your kindle. Their chemistry is off the charts HOT!!!
It was fun seeing all the Sawyer sisters in this book. I loved seeing the continuation of Frannie and Mack’s story. But I also liked getting to know Sylvia and April better in this book. I loved Noah’s family as well. Both Noah and Meg have such amazing families!!!
You definitely don’t want to miss this latest romance from Melanie Harlow!!! This whole series is one you will want to add to the top of your TBR list NOW!!!
Insatiable is a friends to lovers story about Noah and Meg. It’s the third book in the Cloverleigh Farms series and can be read as a standalone.. It was sweet, funny and sexy. Noah will steal your heart. I look forward to book four in this series.
The perfect small-town romance!
This is the first book I’ve read in the Cloverleigh Farms series and Ms Harlow stole my heart with Noah and Meg’s friends-to-lovers, slow-burn, entirely CAPTIVATING love story! Now I need to read the others in this series because these Sawyer sisters are an absolute blast!
I can’t tell you how many times I found myself laughing out loud at the shenanigans, sighed and swooned over the romance, rubbed my chest to soothe the ache from the angst and emotion…on other words, I ABSOLUTELY ADORED everything about this sexy-as-all-get-out story with everything in me!
Oh my GAWD, the FEELS were intense in this unforgettable, UNPUTDOWNABLE, breathtaking love story that NEEDS to be on everyone’s MUST READ list! Did I mention how freaking HAWT the chemistry is between Noah and Meg??!! It’s 5 alarm and I couldn’t get enough of these two! I devoured this book and can’t wait for more from these sassy, sweet and loyal sisters of Cloverleigh! LOVED it!
This series just keeps getting better. I need a Noah McCormick in my life. This book was full of heart and heat. I laughed and cried and swooned.
I LOVED this instalment of Cloverleigh Farms by Melanie Harlow, so much so that I think it’s my most certainly my favourite of the three books so far.
The connection between Meg and Noah was fab. Their friendship and love obvious but as things changed between them they only got better.
As ever, it was great to catch up with the other Sawyer sisters, their significant others and associated family. A few hints at a possible future storyline was maybe thrown into the mix…. or was that just me?!?!
Can’t wait to read more in what’s an insta-one-click series for me.
A definite 5* read.

received a copy of the book for an onset review but, as ever, purchased my own copy
4.5
Hmm, now I can’t decide which Cloverleigh Farms book is my fave… But right now, I’m leaning toward Noah and Meg.
I loved the pacing and all the characters… I love that it’s family centric…. that it touches on family supporting family…. the bond between sisters… bond between parents and their grown up children.
I also love that this book will make you realize to take risks and open yourself more to people… that just because you failed at one relationship doesn’t mean you’ll fail the next one… That even though there’s no guarantee of a happy ending, it’s okay to put yourself out there. At least you tried. No regrets.
Noah and Meg’s feelings were embers waiting to be fanned for the flames to rise.
I’m curious about Sylvia and April though…on which Sawyer sister will get her book next…
I loved the story! It’s something you’d want to read after a long day… it’s sweet, swoony and sexy all rolled into one.

Wow I loved Noah & Meg’s book. I was hooked from the beginning. I just really liked Meg and omg what is there not to like about Noah!!! This friends to lover’s story begins when Noah saves Meg when she is 16 and he is a lifeguard. They become best friends and remain that way. Even though they can get a little flirty neither one has acted on their feelings as they didn’t want to ruin the friendship. But Meg is back in town for her sister’s wedding and needing a date since she is recently single after a recent breakup. This is where things get heated up and yes the heat factor is sizzling!!! But it’s only supposed to be for a week since Meg will be leaving to return home and Noah is adamant about not doing the whole commitment/love/relationship thing, well maybe?!? I loved this story definitely a favorite in the Cloverleigh Farms Series. Easily your next 1 Click!!!!
Sometimes you need to fight for your HEA…
Meg & Noah have been friends since he saved her life in their teens. Right before she is to go home for her sister’s wedding, her long time live in boyfriend ends things.
Meg is sad, but realizes he wasn’t going to be her HEA. He certainly wasn’t the kindling to start her fire.
She decides to extend her trip home.
Noah is a deputy in the local PD. He is single and despite a matchmaking mama, he does not see marriage & kids in his future.
They, Meg & Noah, decide to have some casual fun while Meg is home. Neither plans for more. They’re just friends.
Despite the attraction everyone around them comments on…attraction from the beginning.
I love the family, friends, and the evolution of friends to lovers.
Sisters who love and help each other. Friends who have the blinders they’ve worn all these years finally taken away. Siblings who are friends. I love that aspect of Melanie’s books.
Steamy, sweet, full of family, feels, and a fantastic friends to lovers story.
I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Melanie Harlow has quickly become a favorite author of mine. I was first introduced to her with the first book in the Cloverleigh Farms series and I just fall more and more in love with her words with every book I read. Insatiable is book 3 but it can be absolutely read as a stand-alone. I will warn you, you will probably want to immediately read the others in this series once you finish. Noah and Meg will have you feeling ALL the feels. This is probably my favorite book of the series. This story is definitely a must read!
