“He had me at his mercy, and it felt as if with every stroke of his tongue he was showing me that I was his to ravish and explore, that he was laying claim on me.”
Meant For You is my favorite Connor Family book yet! I could not get enough of this story and characters! Layla Hagen is definitely out to give the Bennett Family a run for their money with their cousins. I look forward to my Bennett/Connor stories and I am glad the author doesn’t keep us waiting long. This story seriously had all the feels. It was heartwarmingly beautiful, with a shot or two if angst. Meant for You was the breath of fresh air story that I needed to read right now. Everything about Will and Page’s story had me swooning and melting. The passion between these two characters had you flying through the pages. While their chemistry sizzled and cracked from the pages. They are seriously going down as one of my favorite book couples. I can NOT wait for November 13th so I can get the full ending to Paige and Wills story! I just can not get enough of these two! They are just magical, and perfect together. I did not want their story to end, and I’m sure I will feel still feel the exact same about that on the 13th. I highly recommend reading this book!
“She was deliciously responsive to my touch. Paige and I weren’t going to be just friends.
Paige is one of those heroines you could easily see yourself being friends with. You love her character the moment you meet her. She is sassy, fun, and a total spit fire. I loved how driven and passionate her character was. She did not let anything stand in her way, and took on any obstacle head on that stood in her way. You can easily see why she gives Will a run for his money.
“Will was so…. I had no words, but he was what I needed.
Will’s character had me pleasently surprised. He was nothing like I thought he would be, and I loved the surprise. Will quickly had me falling for his charm. He was passionate, caring and sinful. Every word out of his mouth either left you swooning, or melting. He had this air of dominance that constantly commander your attention. He is definitely my favorite of the Connor brothers!
“A deep groan tore from within him. My knees buckled from feeling the sheer force of his desire. I’d never, ever felt so wanted.”
*5 STARS*
Well earned for another Connor sibling down. I absolutely can NOT wait for the next Connor Family installment.
I just love the Connors! This is the third book of the Connor’s series and it is so sexy and sweet.
Will Connor is a police office and is a great guy, he loves his family, has suffered a lot with the death of his parents and is proud of his work for his community.
Paige is his match! She has come back from a two year stint in Paris working for a non-governmental organization. She is doing a wonderful job but her boss is antagonizing her and is not a good person.
She inherited a house from her grandmother and is trying to flip it to sell it later.
Paige and Will meet suddenly but the connection is strong. She is a little hesitant because she knows loving a man in an uniform is not easy, but seeing how dedicated Will is for his family it is hard to ignore him.
Layla Hagen writes beautifully the story about these two people with flaws but love in their heart.
I LOVE Layla Hagen stories. She has such a skillful way of weaving a beautiful, sweet love story that sucks you in and makes you feel a part of the family. I loved every single book in the Bennett Family series and this spin-off Connor Family series has been just as fantastic so far. Will is the tough cop brother of the Connor Family. He has a highly protective personality but seems a little closed off. Paige works for a nonprofit and is a tough yet vulnerable woman. Will asks her to be his date for his sisters wedding. Paige is not interested in a relationship with a cop. She can’t see her living a life like her mother, wondering when there will be a knock on her door telling her that her husband is deceased. Even with these misgivings she agrees to the date and that is when it becomes obvious to both of them that they could have more, so much more. I love that this is just a simple love story. It is not full of a bunch of angst and miscommunication. It is just a simple journey of falling in love and realizing that love is stronger than fear. I highly recommend Meant for You and all of the Bennett and Connor family books. You will not be disappointed!
Lets be honest here, I just love all of Layla Hagen’s books and this one is no exception. Meant for You is an absolute swoon fest. I just love reading about the Conner family and it is even better because you also get to catch up a little here and there with the Bennett family. This story is entertaining, sweet and sexy. I loved it from the beginning to the end, can’t wait for the next one in the series. Don’t panic though, it can totally be read as a stand alone.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
You know – guys sometimes pick on their friends / brothers when they finally find a woman who makes them want to be a one man woman. Will Connor wasn’t looking for his one and only but when he did find her he didn’t want his family to know. Understandably there’s quite a few of them and they love to meddle.
So when Will meets Paige all bets are off! I like how Will is relentless in his pursuit of Paige. She’s gun shy, so to speak, for trying serious relationships. There’s some issues here they have to work through but worth it when they realize what they mean to each other.
As usual this Layla Hagen book I read quickly. She’s one I know I will be able to read and enjoy. The Connor Family series is no exception. They’re a great support system of each other. If I had had siblings I’d hope they’d be as supportive as these are – even if their meddling will drive you crazy at times.
This is the third book in this series and so loving it. The chemistry between these two is unreal for both of them in every way. I loved that with one look or kiss can make Will go wild. Layla Hagen once again shows us that some things might be too much but with love and a will anything is possible. Cannot wait to see who is next really hoping for Jace. This is one family that you don’t want to miss.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
Perfect addition to the Connor family! Loved Will and Paige!
The Connor family is so much fun to read! Will is a cop who doesn’t get attached. Paige is hard-working and not fond of living a life as her mother did as a military wife (always worrying and waiting for “that” knock on the door.) Sometimes love is just too strong to resist though and these two are a perfect example of that. Paige and Will are a must read.
Flirty, fun and exquisitely sensual, this novel is a joy for all the reading senses. I couldn’t help but fall in love with Will Connor. He’s a good man, a detective riding a bike, and a god giving kisses. To be honest, the female character is equally important for a good connection and I adored this woman. She is sassy, smart, funny, and has a job that drives her with an aim to help people.
The big hurdle in the relationship has to do with life and death, and I felt very related to Paige’s misgivings about commiting to a love that could be lost in the blink of an eye. Despite that very deep concern, the dynamics in this couple are playful and natural, the dialogues are so much fun I never wanted to stop reading, and every interaction felt momentuous.
Paige and Will fall spectacularly in love. Family time is also heart-warming and full of banter and good advice. In the end, the issue of Will’s job and Paige’s fear catches up to them in an unexpected way. I wasn’t particularly fond of that, but it added the right tension for a sweetly romantic reconciliation.
The heat can only equal the good times they share, and I loved the way they merge their lives and dreams without losing their fantastic humour and chemistry. Another great story to add to a wonderfully growing list of them.
I love Paige and Will. Paige has returned home after a few years working in Paris. She spearheads projects for a non-profit and is very passionate about building programs to help. She is focused on a new education program while she works to get her grandmother’s Bed & Breakfast ready to sell. Will responds to a call of lights at a house that hasn’t been lived in. When he arrives, he meets captivating Paige. He offers to help Paige with a security system for the property, these two find they have more in common, both wanting to help society in some way. Yet, Paige, hesitates having a father who was in the military, the fear of Will’s job creates a barrier. It’s also wonderful that they both come from large families and have a true sense of family that they share. I enjoyed this couple as they connected in unique ways that allowed them to help each other. There is a genuine affection between Will and Paige that is a joy to experience along with just the right balance of sexy moments. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Absolutely loving the Connor series!! This family is definitely competing against the Bennett’s for my favorite book family!! This story truly was such an honest and feel-good story! I was absolutely captivated from beginning to end! Will Connor (aka the hunky detective) & Paige Lamonica are so sweet, so freakin’ hot and just so perfect for each other. They may not realize that right away but believe me it is an absolute pleasure watching them come to that conclusion. No, everything is not perfect and they are tested, but it is all what you do about it that matters most. They are also very real and relatable characters who both have such admirable careers and a lot more in common than they ever realized. Layla Hagen really knows how to write a believable, swoon-worthy and amazing hero and a kick butt and equally amazing heroine. The chemistry and dynamic between Will and Paige is simply spectacular!!
I feel every much a part of the Connor family as I did with the Bennett’s thanks to the in- depth look at all the characters; and the secondary family characters add so much to her stories because we get to know and love them too. Fantastic addition to this series!!
This author and her family series are one of my favourites. I am always pulled in and get so invested in each character that I am waiting with baited breath for the next sibling’s story.
This was Will Connor’s story, and I loved it. I loved the connection between Paige and Will, their honesty with each other, and the way they handled any issues they had like adults.
I know in some books I read, the way the characters react and respond to situations come across as just too filled with drama, which could have been avoided if they would only talk like adults and discuss their problems.
I can’t wait for the next Connor’s book.
It happened in an instant. He lost his head and found his heart. For Will Connor, Paige Lamonica spells the beginning of the rest of his life. Now he just has to convince her to take a chance on him. Hagen keeps the sparks, but tones down a bit on the sizzle. Meant For You requires patience, because it packs a great deal of heart into a sometimes steamy, yet always enchanting read.
* A review copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review *
Meant For You was an enjoyable read and another great addition to the Connor Family series. But I have to be honest and say, it didn’t WOW me. Something was missing and I can’t figure out what it was.
I found the storyline entertaining and the characters were definitely relatable and easy to love. Maybe the lack of major drama is what was missing…that element that keeps you turning the pages.
With that said this is a story I would recommend to anyone who likes a sweet romance without a lot of drama.
Meant For You is the third novel in Layla’s Connor Family Series. I have to say I love Layla’s Family saga stories. She writes them in a way that you feel a part of the family and I am always sad when they end. Each of these books can be read as a standalone and are told in Dual POV. I thought the flow and pace of the story worked well for Will and Paige’s story.
In this story we follow Will and Paige. Will is the middle child in the Connor family and is a detective for the LAPD. He turned to the force to help him cope with the death of his parents. Paige is the daughter of a man who was in the Armed Forces. Growing up always worrying about her dad and him going into combat, she swore she wouldn’t be with someone who is that type of field. But the day that Paige and Will meet, things change for the both of them. Can Will open up to love and welcome Paige in?? Will Paige be able to get past her fears of someone in a dangerous field?? Can these two find their HEA?? Read this book to find out.
As I have said with the other books in this series, I would recommend this book/series to be read in order. They don’t have to be, but I think to get the full dynamic of the Connor Family and the ones who they love, you will want to read them in order. I always love when we see the past couples and the other family members in this story. It was even fun seeing some of the Bennetts in this story.
If you are a fan of family saga’s then jump into the mix with The Connor’s. These stories will entertain you and leave you smiling. Oh…and the Heroes will melt your kindle 😉 Don’t miss Layla’s newest romance novel….it’s worth the read!!!!
I love these characters!
Follow the story of Paige, just back from working in France. Hanging out with her friends catching up at her Grandmothers Inn when hot detective Will, stops by to investigate seeing as how the Inn has been closed for quite some time! When he comes face to face with Paige, he’s hooked as well as she finds him extremely hot!
Layla made me fall in love with these two, Will is amazing, and Paige is sweet and his equal! Grab this one as soon as it’s available, you even get previous characters stopping in! 5 stars for this one!
I fall more and more in love with Layla Hagen’s books with each one I read.
As the chemistry simmers between Will and Paige both are afraid to give in for fear of being hurt. But Will is determined that he will not let Paige go. The attraction is undeniable!
I love all the things Will does just to simply show Paige how much she means to him and she is unable to resist his charm, good looks and just the way he pursues her is a beautiful thing to watch unfold.
This book will give you all the feels of a budding romance turned into a blazing love that can’t be denied. As the layers are peeled away they both realize the other is just what they need, but can Will persuade Paige that their HEA is within reach.
I loved everything about Will and Paige…and this book made me laugh and made me cry happy tears. I can’t wait for every single book about the Connors and this one was no exception. I couldn’t put it down.
