When I first met Jack Miller, he didn’t wow me with his intellect or even set that fluttering off in my tummy that you hear about, but he was handsome.He made me feel like I was someone; somebody important. He showered me with affection, and made me feel good about myself. He always listened to my problems and tried his hardest to soothe my worries. He treated me well and that’s all a girl really … girl really needs…
Isn’t it?
Being thirteen years, my senior never bothered me or him.
Or so I thought.
But what happens when it all stops?
When everything you thought was real turns out to be nothing but a lie.
There’s another life outside of the little bubble I’ve been living in.
Although it was what I thought I wanted… exploring it, could cost me dearly.
I’m Maya Wilson, and this is my story.

It was my first read by this author and I’m sure it won’t be my last one, even though this one wasn’t for me. It had me a bit in loops and not really feeling the story from the first chapters. I wanted to love it but I just liked it. I was a bit detached and really wanted to get into it but never really did. It was very well written though and had a good backbone with an ending you may or may not feel coming… and it was also good to see both characters POV’s in the story so you can understand both sides a bit more. I would still recommend to read it but it just wasn’t fully for me.
Maya hasn’t had the best of luck with men but under the small push of her best friend, she tries a dating app. When she first meets Jack, sparks fly between them and it quickly grows into a relationship. There’s just something about Jack that intrigues her and the connection grows very fast. But nothing is as it seems and when Maya finds out who he really is underneath it may be too late… or not?…
This dark read had me wanting to throw my kindle across the room at times. I shouted, I cursed, I even had to put my kindle down a time or two just so I could process everything that was happening. All I wanted to do was scream and shake Maya to wake her up to see what a piece of work Jack was. Unfortunately for her she realises a little too late. I hated Jack with a passion right from the very start because you could see him playing her right from the beginning. There is a surprise in there that started the realisation for Maya that all wasn’t as it all seems and that ending!!!!! I wasn’t expecting that….. This story is immense. Love bombing is a phrase a lot of people can relate to and have been through it. It has you going though so many emotions you wont know what to do or feel cause you feel so wrung out. It is a definate must read.
I received an advanced copy of this book and am choosing to review it. Wow…I don’t have words to describe all the emotions this book brought to me, specially without spoilers. So let’s begin at the beginning it gives all the vibes of a cheesy love story, but slowly it would started to turn but not in straight forward way bcs it keep going as a lovely love story with little hints that let you know that is not. Is one of those books were you know that something is wrong but keep you in the edge of your chair waiting for that turn of events were the nightmare started. This is well written, with excellent words building and haunting.
Spoilers……………………………………………….
This book doesn’t have HEA.
This dark story was such an intriguing read that kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning! As Maya and Jack’s journey unfolded I was totally invested as I turned each and every page to see how their journey would end! Wow, is all I can say and I highly recommend reading this brilliant story!
I do not think I have ever been as shaken up as I have when I read Lovebomb by Sienna Grant. I am a firm believer that books do not need trigger warnings, but if one book ever did, this would be it. Lovebomb is a book about emotional abuse to the extreme. It was so well written that I found myself at times having to put the book down and stepping away for a minute to catch my breath because of the scenes that were taking place. I think because it is something that happens daily to so many people that made this story more tangible. This is a tragic yet realistic story that is heartbreaking. 5-stars for Lovebomb by Sienna Grant
Maya Wilson just wanted someone in her life that was going to be a stand-up guy. Taking a chance Maya lets her guard down with a man thirteen years her senior, Jack Miller. Maya and Jack seemed to have this whirlwind romance that just came out of no where and was everything Maya wanted. Jack listened to her and doted on her and seemed to lift the weight of the world off her shoulders. Till the one day that Jack no longer did that. Till the day that Jack made Maya think that maybe he wasn’t really the man of her dreams. Maya might have made a tragic mistake falling in love with Jack and it just might cost her more than she can afford to lose.
What can I say this book was not what I expected… can I just say WOW!! It blew my mind. The Lovebomb is the bomb. Maya is a woman looking for love with no luck until she meets Jack. They have will dangerous dark tragic love affair. This is a must read. It will blow you away.
This story at times was difficult for me to read,but Sienna wrote it in a way that just captivated me.But broke my heart all at the same time.
I really loved Maya and her strength,she was an easy character to support and love …I am still not sure how I feel about Jack he was a manipulator and emotional thief.
I can’t even write a worthy review because honestly this book just took my breath away and I was not prepared for the roller coaster ride Sienna Grant put me on.
Lovebomb is a brilliantly crafted book about a subject that a lot of people will be able to relate to, it is a must read and I highly recommend it.

BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN!!!
I absolutely love Siennas work. She’s an amazing author. She blew me away with this one. This is one story I believe many of us can relate to. I know I do. Maya’s story is gripping. It’s dark and emotional. The way Sienna tells it is incredibly awe-inspiring. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year. I highly recommend it.
What a story!! I went in blind and had no idea how this was going to play out. A remarkable twisty story that really kept me on my toes. Could not put it down. This story line was so unexpected, but so good!!!!
Wow!! I read Lovebomb in one sitting because there was no chance that I was putting it down until I reached the end. Its gripping, dark and suspenseful storyline had me sitting on the edge of my seat throughout. Maya and Jack’s story isn’t a fairy-tale and sadly it is someone’s reality. It is thought provoking, intriguing and insightful….. a definite must read in my opinion.
If there was ever a story that you need to go in blind with, it is this one. I hope that you manage to avoid spoilers because I’d love you to experience this powerful and emotional story without knowing what to expect.
Maya is an incredible character. Her circumstances make her perfect for Jack and I felt for her throughout the story. Jack intrigued me from the moment I met him. I can see how women fall in love with him because he’s perfect….. until he’s not!
I thought that the author did a fabulous job of writing Maya’s story and I loved how she included some chapters that briefly gave us Jack’s POV too. I was reading the story and expecting things to happen but not knowing what and when, and to be honest I think this really enhanced my enjoyment – adding to the suspense and anticipation that I was already feeling.
This book may be a trigger for some readers. I feel that the author wrote this story which highlights a devastating reality with care and consideration and it is one that will remain in my thoughts for some time. I am so pleased that I chose to read it. I have certainly learned so much about people like Jack and I would highly recommend for others to read it too.
Good story
I’m speechless! Lovebomb was nothing that I expected and everything I’d hoped it would be. Maya and Jack’s story will take readers on an emotional filled journey filled with hope, turmoil, love, lust and so much more. This was a very quick read for me as I became so immersed into their lives and their story, I literally read straight through in one sitting.
Gritty, dark, emotional….honestly this book has it all.
From the minute this author announced she was writing this book, I knew I had to read it. I knew it would be unique and nothing like what was already out there and let me tell you, this book didn’t disappoint.
From the minute I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. It’s been so long since a book has captivated me that much and sucked me in. This is nothing like my normal reads, it’s real life and it’s something so much more powerful.
Maya is an amazing character to read, you feel for her throughout the whole book. Jack, yeah where do I begin but he’s a character you love to hate. I mean I hated him massively but in equal parts loved him, his character is a powerful one and one that is like marmite, you’ll either love or hate him.
Sienna has produced a story that in my eyes is her best work, it’s out of this world amazing. I can not praise it enough without giving the whole story away. Hands down 5 if not so much more. You need to read it for yourself.
Lovebomb is one of my best dark romance reads of 2020. It is filled with nail-biting twists and scenes that left me stunned to the core. Her characters come to life and there are times you want to slap them senseless. Sienna Grant has once again delivered a masterpiece of exciting story-telling.

There are times when I start a book that I have been waiting for, that I wonder how good it’s going to be. When I heard about Lovebomb, I just knew I had to read it as the synopsis intrigued me. Let me just say, it was not what I expected, it was everything and so much more! I really wish that I could give this more than 5 stars. Maya is a young schoolteacher who just wants love in her life, I mean who doesn’t? When she meets Jack, even though he is a bit older, she is hesitant to embark on this path because of her past relationships. But Jack can be very persuasive and she falls to his charms. He showers her with love and will do anything for her. But is Jack who he really says he is? Maya wants to be with Jack and go forth with a future with him, but some things just don’t add up. Can Maya ignore those feelings and just go with her heart?
I don’t want to say anymore without giving away spoilers, but let me just say that I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting, literally! I had to know what happened! And the fact that this has so much truth in it, that it could really happen in life, made me love it that much more. I am in awe of this author right now for telling a story that I feel many people can relate to. Prepare yourself, for this will grab at your very heart and soul and will make you feel so many emotions. To me, that is a sign of a great story, and that is exactly what this is. Please, do yourself a favor, and read this brilliant book.
