For single mom Bobbie Jo Weston, finding a husband is not on her to-do list. She’s focused on turning a run-down chicken farm into a Bed & Breakfast. To help her achieve that goal, she agrees to let a friend’s nephew stay with her in exchange for his handyman skills. But Seth Landry isn’t quite who she pictured. For one, he’s very tall. And broody. And super sexy. Seth has a special … special skill-set, all right, but it has nothing to do with hammering nails. As a retired member of The Resistance–an elite group of ex-military soldiers–his dark, unsettling past haunts him. He needs a place to lay low, and an out-of-the-way B&B is nothing short of perfect. The blonde beauty doesn’t trust men, and he doesn’t plan on sticking around long enough to change her mind.
The closer they get, though, the more they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. And while Bobbie holds on to her fear of watching another man walk out of their lives, Seth’s mere presence has put them all in jeopardy. The only way to ever be free of his dangerous past is for him to accept one last mission…

Law of Attraction by Alison Bliss
Tangled in Texas #3
Bobbie Jo is ripe for a bit of action and has a babysitter for her young son so heads off to the local watering hole with one thing in mind…and…sees just the kind of guy she thinks might be perfect. Well, her night did I not go as planned though she did get a scorching hot kiss to think about when she got home that evening. Little does she know that the man coming to stay with her, as a favor to a friend, is the man who gave her that kiss that was oh so memorable.
Seth Landry is hot with a capital H. He has a secret or two he is guarding closely and is adept with his hands not only helping to fix up Bobbie’s abode for B&B worthiness but in a few other ways, too. His interactions with four year old Austin, Bobbie’s son, are precious and perfect and warmed the cockles of my heart…just as they warmed Bobbie’s.
I smiled and cared and wanted to slap the biological father of Austin around a bit and wished a couple of times that Bobbie had been a bit less impetuous and thought before acting but then…she is who she is.
I enjoyed the story and wondered a bit about a few scenes that might have been fleshed out a bit more and would perhaps have liked a bit more after the last page but all in all it was a good read and as my first by this author made me interested in reading another book of hers when I can.
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

**I received a copy of Law of Attraction from Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review**
Law of Attraction by Alison Bliss is the third book in her Tangled in Texas series. I haven’t read the previous books and it was fantastic plus a great stand alone story. This is my first book by her and now I need to go back and read the others to catch up. This is Seth and Bobbi Jo’s story it will provide you with giggles, four over protective “uncles”, a very determined single mom who has accepted help from her boss and his nephew to renovate a farmhouse into a Bed and Breakfast so she doesn’t have to work so hard. Definitely worth all 5 stars.
Bobbi Jo had a one night stand with a precious 4 year old son Austin whom she loves more than anything. Jeremy the sperm donor now all of a sudden wants visitation time with Austin but only on his terms. Her over protective guy friends, Junior, Cowboy, Jake, Judd and Ox watch over her but she wants to break her five year dry spell with a one night stand. Little does she know that Seth who needs a place to stay while he decides what he would like to do after being a mercenary will be more than willing to break her self proclaimed lack of sex. But he comes with baggage and she has one rule, she and Austin are a package deal.
Seth Landry needs a place to lie low after his last op in the Amazon went sideways with the loss of a hostage. But his uncles farm is under flood waters so when Junior asks Bobbi Jo if he can stay with her in exchange for work on her farm he accepts. But he makes it clear: It’s short term and he’ll be gone soon once his boss gets a lead on Bishop who took the boy hostage. Soon both Bobbi and Austin become very important to his life and he may decide that her farm can be a place to settle finally. Can he keep her safe from his past and teach Bobbi that he’s the other half of her soul mate and willing to be a dad for Austin?
Oh, how I missed these Tangled In Texas stories by Alison Bliss! Law Of Attraction is Seth’s and Bobbie’s story and HOLY HOTNESS, was it AMAZEBALLS! The story pulled me in IMMEDIATELY from the start and kept me happily turning the pages until the dreaded end. I FLOVED every minute of the story too. Seth is such a sexy, irresistible flirt and is surprisingly good with Bobbie’s young son and I couldn’t help but to melt for this big strong man. And Bobbie, she is leery of trusting men and a wonderful mother as well as a very passionate and caring woman. I LOVED her to pieces.
One of the best things about this book that I adored was the sizzling, flirty banter between Seth and Bobbie. As well as the amount of heart I found in the story too. I feel like I dove into this book with high hopes and got way more than I bargained for which in turn made me incredibly pleased! Alison Bliss just…DOES ROMANCE RIGHT! Law of Attraction was EVERYTHING I hoped for and more! A real WINNER all the way.
Law Of Attraction gets a LEFT ME DESPERATE FOR A REREAD FIVE BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL STARS!
I enjoyed this book. I especially liked the H. The rest of the characters were interesting too.
Lots of fun!
4.5* Bobbie Jo had her life on track, she had a job, owned her own home and was slowly refurbishing it to become a bed and breakfast. She had great friends that would help if she would ask but she wanted to do it herself.
When her boss asked if his nephew could stay with her and he would help her out in repairs she was all for it. Then she saw Seth and her mouth dropped open. She had actually interacted with him the night before.
The more time these two spend together their chemistry just burns hotter. Once they give into the flame will one time be enough or will it just fan it even higher? Will they be able to go back to the way they were before or will they be able to carve a new path out for themselves?
When secrets come out from Seth’s past and also danger comes knocking will they be able to hold up to the onslaught of all the feelings that are running wild or will it just make Bobbie push Seth away once and for all?
This is the first book from this author and I was glad that I did. It was a really good story. Bobbi Jo was a single mom to Austin who is 4 and who has bought an old chicken farm to turn into a bed and breakfast. Enter Seth, he is looking for a place to stay for a little and Bobbi Jo will give that to him if he helps her fix up her place. Seth becomes very protective of both Bobbi and Austin. The chemistry between them was very hot. They try to fight but the attraction but when it is that strong, you can’t. They have to deal with a few things before they can actually get their HEA. I am going to have to go back and read the other books in this series.
This was my first book from the author. It was a very good introduction to her stories and made me want to read more from her.
I really liked Bobbie and Seth’s story. She’s a single mom to a 4-years-old boy, Austin, struggling to make ends meet and give her son the best life possible. When she agreed to let a guest live with them for the summer, she never anticipated Seth. He’s sexy, mysterious and good with his hands He’s going to help her with her B&B in exchange for a place to stay and a hot meal.
There’s an undeniable connection between them from the start. What started as lust, has the potential to become more, from Bobbie’s side at least. Seth is so good with Austin! I loved how he showed his tender side with him. My heart broke for Austin; all he ever wanted was a daddy.
The story is really good! There are hot scenes but also tender moments. Seth’s past is coming back to haunt him and Bobbie and Austin are not spared. Austin’s biological father gave me the creeps and I wanted to punch him for what he did. The ending was perfect and left me feeling completely happy with how everything worked out!!!
I enjoyed reading this story! It has romance , drama and is funny. I hope Alison writes more in this series I would love to read about Ox, Judd and the others. I recommend this book and the author!!!!!

Well, hello Zeus!… er, Seth!
Wow… this one started out steamy as all get out.
I originally read this a few months ago, and life happened, as it seems to do often, and the review got away from me. I did a re-read so I could adequately review this. Normally, re-reads leave me bored and unfulfilled. Not the case here, I was as interested and invested in the story this time as I was the first time.
Bobbie Jo & Seth had some crazy, off the charts chemistry… and it was the Best.Thing.Ever. I love explosive sexual tension and they definitely delivered.
I loved how Seth interacted with Austin, it was great to see. The characters from the previous books carried over well into this one and I’m so glad their big personalities weren’t diminished. And there was loads of alpha-male badassery.
The overall story was suspenseful, engaging, interesting and entertaining. There were some parts where I was getting a little teary-eyed and heartsick. Man, sometimes books hurt. (or I could be pms-ing, eh.)
All in all, a great addition to the Tangled In Texas series.
This is a book that has a sexy single mom and a hunky sexy guy. It also has a great plot, drama, emotion, great humor and great sexy scenes. Bobbie Jo is raising her young son and does not have a good history with men. Seth is like sex on a stick and when he ends up staying at her place for the summer to fix up her house the sparks fly!, but there’s a slime ball father who has ulterior motives and Seth is not all that he seems. Seth will not tell Bobbie Jo anything about his past so she does not fully trust him.
It’s a great story with a well-developed plot and wonderful characters. Bobbie Jo has some great friends and some of them are very hunky too. I was enjoying the story and then it ramped up even more! I was on the edge of my seat loving every bit of it. You will have to read the book to see if Bobbie Jo and Seth end up together. I’ll never tell, but I guarantee you you will love this book!
Bobbie Jo finally finds her man! If you’ve been a fan of the Tangled in Texas series by Alison Bliss, you will recognize Bobbie Jo and her boys, the best friends a girl could ever want! It was a lot of fun to watch her sassy self find a man who could hold his own with her, but could also make her feel treasured for a change! Good characters, a solid plot and lots of fun.
Bobbie Jo Weston has her heart set on making a better life for her son when she buys a 20 acre farm and plans to turn it into a bed and breakfast. The place needs a ton of work and there’s only so much she can get done in a day, so when an opportunity comes up to have an extra pair of hands around the house, she takes it!
Seth Landry appreciates all that his uncle is doing for him in setting up a work for keep arrangement with Bobbie. He’s needing to lay low and heal his mind a bit after leaving the military like life he had been leading. Things happened in his past that he can never walk away from, but spending time with Bobbie and her son are like a breath of fresh air. They can’t deny their attraction for long, and he adores her kid as well … but when his past comes back to haunt him, will he have any kind of future left in this town?
Bobbi Jo Weston is a single mom to five-year-old Austin and on her own, no thanks to her son’s daddy. Yet Bobbi vows to make it own her own with the support of her friends and family. Bobbi’s dream to turn a rundown farm into a bed and breakfast. When she welcome’s her boss’s nephew Seth Landry into her home to help with repairs in exchange for room and board, it soon becomes obvious to everybody in the little Texas town, that there is more to than landlord and handyman. Seth keeps his story to himself and while it troubles Bobbi Jo, she can’t help but fall in love with him. Yet Bobbi Jo is afraid Seth will walk out of their lives.
With some mystery and questions as to just who Seth Landry really is, this is a great romantic story with some spicy scenes and a little suspense.
Law of Attraction, Tangled in Texas by Allison Bliss
Review by Erin Hurst
This was a lovely read about single moms and their fierce Momma Bear instincts and the people who love them. I really felt for Bobbie Jo in her desire to be a good mom and citizen. This was my first time reading a book by this author.
This book features Bobbie Jo and her son Austin. She’s currently content to work on her old farm to turn it into a working bed and breakfast while providing for her son. But her friends conspire to get her some much needed help around the farm. Seth is her boarder working on the farm for Bobbie Jo. He’s got many skills…
Bobbie Jo is a confident and loving mom to a precocious four year old Austen. Austen is a great kid, and Bobbie Jo does her absolute best for him. She tries to have Austen’s father Jeremy be a part of his son’s life, but Jeremy has other plans. Seth is a man with a past, but a true set of morals and skills. Each of the characters had endearing details and backstory (well, except Jeremy). They each worked well within the story.
I loved Bobbie Joe and Seth’s first interaction, even if it was anonymous. It started off their character chemistry with a bang! From there it ran hot and cold, as life often does. The ups and downs, highs and lows of their romance worked for the story line and their characters.
Ms. Bliss had a lovely style of writing to draw the reader in. She wrote her story in a steady, easy to read manner. There were a few moments of mystery, which just added to the story and characters. It all added up to a great, solid, easy, fun romance read!
While I enjoyed this book and all the characters, it didn’t stand out as an amazing read or a book I’ll come back to re-read later. It was a good solid read with all the right details provided to make a sexy boarder meets single mom book. I’d be interested to read other books by the author, as the characters had some interesting friends I’d be interested in finding out more about.
Star Ratings:
Plot = 3/5 Characters = 5/5 Heat = 4/5 Writing Style = 4/5 Overall Rating = 4/5
This one has all the right mix I so enjoy in a romance with the characters doing the taking. Bobbie Jo and Seth will have you going along with them in their story as they slowly heat up the pages that you turn. As her handyman he will make even us drool but he also is intriguing. His background is the type I like to read in my alpha male. Danger also will find its way in with you then stuck to them as they lead. There is also plenty of sweetness to fill it in between the cracks making this one well rounded read.
I’m so glad that Bobbie Jo finally got her HEA. I’ve liked this spunky mom from the very beginning. Throw in her amazing momma bear ways along with the hot drifter Seth, it was a good story with these two. Ugh, her ex is a total jackhole and I loved how Seth treated her son, it was really cute. Another book with great characters and great writing. I really enjoyed this one!

Up All Night w/ Books Blog
Law of Attraction by Alison Bliss is the third book in the Tangled in Texas series. The story is about how hard it is for the two main characters to fight the chemistry between them.
Bobbie Jo is a single mother and has given up on romance. She loves her son and works hard to provide the best she can for him. She is loving, independent, sassy, stubborn, and smart. Seth is a mysterious stranger who wants to forget his past and drift through life moving from place to place. He is cocky, physically fit, and good with his hands.
She buys an old run down farm with the hopes of repairing it and turning it into a bed & breakfast. She quickly realizes this might be a bigger task than she can tackle on her own. Her and Seth strike up a deal. He’ll work on repairing things around the farm and she’ll give him a place to stay over the summer. He is the nephew of her well meaning boss so she at least knows he’s not dangerous. Bobbie Jo and Seth share a strong chemistry, they’re both constantly fighting it. With all the trouble her son’s father brings, her job, working on the farm, and being a loving and attentive mom she doesn’t think she has much left for anything else.
I really liked how much depth the characters have, they’re more than one dimensional beings. Bobbie Jo tries so hard to be a successful business person, but she doesn’t want a hand out she wants to work for it. The people around her love her so much and are very protective of her but her need for independence fights them at every turn. Her sassiness is fierce and one of the things about her I fell in love with most. Seth fights so hard to not talk about his past but in doing so it makes it even harder for him to move on. They fight their feelings for so long the angst is palpable. That’s what truly pulled me in, I will forever go weak in the knees for all the angsty goodness and it is aplenty in this story. The passion between Seth and Bobbie Jo lights the pages on fire. Every innocent touch makes the burning need for more grow stronger. Can they fight their feelings forever, what happens when the heat grows too hot? The pacing is great, the story unravels in a way that keeps the mystery alive. While giving us a little at a time it gets us hooked and wanting more. I would recommend to anyone interested in an angsty romance filled with passion and heartfelt moments.
I have been waiting for Bobbie’s story since we were first introduced to her in book 1. I love that she is a single mom who is trying to do whatever she can to provide for her son. You can tell that she is a woman with a good heart and good intentions even when she is trying to convince her no good ex to try and be part of her son’s life so he can have a father figure. She is a woman worth a happily ever after.
Seth is a man worthy of Bobbie. All the sexiness and charm is hard to resist, it really helps that he is a good man below that. He is protective, funny, but willing to stand up for the people that he cares for. He is even willing to cross lines that most wouldn’t to protect.
While reading this book, I was imagining myself as Bobbie and I don’t know if I could have held out as long as she did with all the sexyness and innuendos coming left and right. He wasn’t afraid to let her know he was interested in her. She is a much stronger woman and I would be 🙂
I would highly recommend this book and series!! You won’t be disappointed.
Smoking hot ex-mercenary meets single mom and sparks fly in Law of Attraction, the latest from Alison Bliss.
I’ve read the previous books in this series, Tangled in Texas, and I knew from the start that it would be good. Alison Bliss never disappoints! The setting is a small backwoods Texas town where everyone is in everyone’s business and no one seems to care much. I felt at home in that setting as I’ve lived in small towns my whole life.
The characters were fun to read and true to life. Humor runs rampant through the entire story, but doesn’t compromise the love story that is center to the entire book. I found myself laughing out loud in nearly every chapter. It was great to read a fun romance as a change of pace. There are even cameos from the main characters in the previous two books in the series. But never worry, each book is a standalone and there are no spoilers.
I can only hope there will be more Tangled in Texas stories in the future. I’ll be watching and so should you.

I’ve enjoyed each and everyone of the Alison Bliss books I’ve read and this is no exception. Light and easy, lovable characters with the added bonus of an alpha male hero. Single Mum Bobbie Jo is struggling to get her bed and breakfast in a suitable state to open for guests. Ex mercenary Seth Landry is looking for somewhere to lay low for a while. No surprise that they both get more than they bargained for when they end up living under the same roof. Sparks fly, and I’m not just talking about the sparks from the farm machinery. With Bobbie Jo’s douche of an ex and Seth’s dangerous past coming to rear its head, can their relationship stand so much drama? I loved Seth, he was the perfect book boyfriend, and although I’ve liked Bobbie Jo in previous books, she did annoy me at times with her interactions with her ex, because let’s be honest, he had a real mean streak. Enjoyable action romance. Even though this is a series spin off (Tangled in Texas), it can quite easily be read as a standalone. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.
