New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Melody Anne continues her sizzling and heartfelt series about billionaire Joseph Anderson’s long-lost nephews.
Salt-of-the-earth navy veteran Noah Anderson is just starting to understand what it means to be exceedingly wealthy. Since he and his four brothers received a huge payout from their long-lost billionaire uncle, they’ve been hard at work … uncle, they’ve been hard at work building a new veterans center—and hard at play with the lovely ladies in their lives.
Noah, in charge of designing the center, has been mostly focused on work. However, coarchitect Sarah Jennings commands more of his attention all the time. Sparks fly whenever they’re together, but she’s wary—even afraid—of love, and Noah isn’t the biggest fan of commitment.
When they reach a creative roadblock, Noah and Sarah decide to jet across the United States and study the buildings that most influence them. The trip quickly inspires more than just a love of architecture, and with a little help from Uncle Joseph, the reluctant couple gets ever closer to discovering what they’re really looking for.

While I did enjoy this book, it can be repetitive. I was annoyed with both characters throughout the book. But I also liked that showed his vulnerable side more often than not. I look forward to the next book.
Noah is a fantastic second chance romance. I love the connection between Noah and Sarah from the start. They have this way about them that will draw you in from the start. Noah is adventurous and keeps you on your toes. Sarah is more timid hard worker just trying to get the job done. There is a lot of back and fourth pull between these two that you are just going to love. They balance each other out. I loved every moment of this one. The fact that we still get a taste of our favorite Anderson’s is just an added bonus. This cute reality check romance is one that will keep you glued to the pages.
Noah and Sarah
Noah is the next Anderson brother to find himself attracted to a woman in the small town where they are going to be building the new Veteran centre However, Sarah is more than happy to be a one night stand but Noah wants more…..but every time things heat up between them, they also go pear shaped at the same time
Poor Noah and Sarah have a very tumultuous relationship with ups and downs galore. Will Noah and Sarah walk away from each other or can they be the other half of each other to make a whole? A good story which I enjoyed and I’m definitely looking forward to see how Brandon goes with a certain petite blonde, who is friends with Brooke and Sarah
Thanks to Melody, the publisher and Netgalley for my advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my honest review
I could of given this book a 5 star but I was so frustrated that the accident was just wiped out and never to be brought up again even though one of the characters nearly died. She didn’t even ask him why he left. I was expecting the lead heroine to have a bit of fight in her considering he left her on her death bed. It was a good book to read but I do feel the accident should of been brought up in the early stages and maybe used as a reason why she didn’t want him anymore. I mean if you are going to leave, then leave. It shouldn’t take so many chapters of going backwards and forwards to get to the point. I mean he left you sort of dying in the hospital without a care in the word. Loved seeing Joseph Anderson within the book. I really want to read Branden, Crew and Hudson’s books but only if there was a significant thing happened in their lives that they dealt with it rather than being swept under the carpet.
4 star review Noah (Anderson Billionaires #2) by Melody Anne
Thrust in to sudden wealth, Noah and his brothers are focused on building a new veterans centre, they work hard and they play equally as hard.
Noah Anderson ticks all the boxes for me; he is strong, protective, most definitely an alpha and although he tries hard to hide it, he loves fiercely. Working closely with fellow designer Sarah Jenning the sparks fly and despite the attraction that arcs between them neither seem inclined to pursue it.
The chemistry between Noah and Sarah built as they struggled through the creative block they have come up against in their plans for the veterans centre. There were times that I was a little frustrated with Sarah and Noah, one minute they appeared to want one another and the next they were pulling away.
Will Noah and Sarah dare to take a chance? Perhaps with a little help from Uncle Joseph they will get the happily ever after they deserve.
Original review: https://myshelfbooks.wordpress.com/2020/04/12/review-noah-by-melody-anne/
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I may need a Doctor after reading this book. Or maybe a spelunker? Any person who is able to go inside my cranium to find my eyes is more than welcome. I have rolled them so hard during these days… If no one runs to help me I woulnd’t be offended (you are lucky I’m too blind to see who is denying me help!!). I can admit it is all my fault. When I read the first book of this saga I already could tell this wasn’t my style, but I guess I needed to confirm it. The second Anderson brother is slightly better, but that’s not saying much. Let’s grab a pencil and draw a blueprint for this book!
Last time we were with these guys, we left Noah and Sarah at the hospital after a scary car accident. They are both the architects of the famous project for veterans the Anderson borthers are putting together. It seems that working side by side has made them closer than expected, and Sarah is starting to wonder if it is a good work ethic to keep an intimate relationship with Noah while trying to bring to life the building. This is not a story about love. This is a story about who is more stubborn.
This book doesn’t start that badly. It looked like the consequences of the accident could be an important, and welcome, plot thread and I would have been OK with that. But the author gets rid of it pretty fast and with no mercy. To the point that I am still wondering why the hell the accident took place in the first place if it has zero relevance in the development. One of them should have been crippled by the accident to have something to tell. What story do we have without that? Nothing. The story is pretty hollow. Nothing really happens and there is barely any kind of character development or similar. It is SO boring. I have read it faster than normal to get over this tedious reading that goes nowhere.
The whole book is about that hot potato called love and the people who deny it. There are two roles: the one who wants to get into its business and the one who wants to run as far as possible. There is not a single chapter where both characters are fulfilling the same one at the same time. Sometimes is Noah the lovebird and other is Sarah. Sometimes she is the one who want to escape and other chapters is Noah the one packing a bag to put some distance between them. The worst part is that they change their roles in the least expected moment and behaving in a way that doesn’t make much sense. And that is all the drama this book has, so you can guess this is, overall, a forgettable story that is not going to leave any kind of residue in my memory,
Sadly, that loopy dynamic is not ended in a positive way and we have to suffer one of the worst drama closures I have read in my life. It is laughable, somehow insulting, lazy and pretty much a mess in every aspect. It absolutely killed the meager faith I had in the couple. At least this time the wedsession (I told you guys that word was going to be useful) takes longer to appear… But when it does, its ferocity is such that I wanted to hide under the bed, close my eyes and cover my ears while trying to convince myelf that that wasn’t real. Same technique as with ghosts or other monsters…
The characters are not as bad as in the previous book. Finn is hard to beat, even though his brother Noah took an effort to get the first position. In the sheer amount of a couple of paragraphs I went from having a mildly positive opinion of the guy to hate his guts passionately. He is one of those who drives way faster than permited just beacuse they need it and they have everything under control. Don’t make me express with words where you can stick that need of yours, pal!. If that wasn’t enough, he starts drinking alcohol even though he knows he must drive back to his place. Are you still going to control it even with a bit of a buzz? I like the kind of cockiness that is sexy, not the kind that can kill people. But the final nail in his coffin is the comment he makes at his brother Crew’s place: he trails mud to make sure the cleaner has a job… There is no need of helping to get a house dirty. Dust does all the job for us. I can’t believe this guy is so proud of his humble origins, because that comment made him a total (or should I say utter?) asshole.
I’m running out of venom and there is still a lot that would deserve it: Sarah’s behaviour doesn’t make any sense, Joseph is annoying and creepy, the brothers are waaaay too obsessed with the love lives of each other… Next one in line is going to be Brandon. I’m not sure if I want to keep as far away as possible from it or if my curiosity will snare me again.
The Anderson family patriarch pairs off another perfect match!
Noah and Sarah, both architects, are working together on the veteran’s center organized by his “uncle” Joseph Anderson. Joseph is involving all five of his newest nephews, Noah and his four brothers, and this is the second book in the series (Finn found his romance in the first).
This one was a bit confusing at first, even though I’d read Finn, as it wasn’t quite clear what Noah’s and Sarah’s relationship was before her near-death car accident, nor was it clear what impact the accident had on their relationship after. What we know is that they dated before, but hadn’t resumed dating after the accident. Then, when they start working together on the plans for the center, Noah wants to pursue something serious while Sarah doesn’t have much faith in happily-ever-afters and doesn’t want a relationship to distract them from their professional goals.
I wish there had been more care given to explaining the foundation of their relationship, but eventually I did get on board with it. Noah is singularly devoted to Sarah, and uses their extensive time together to show her how great they are as a couple.
The monkey wrench thrown in just as Sarah was beginning to believe in their future seemed to come out of nowhere, as if added just for the dramatic effect, making it really hard for me to believe in their solid HEA when it does finally come. But, I can see the big picture, and it does work out well for them as Joseph sets up the next couple in the project (and the next book in the series). I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This is the second book about the lost Anderson’s and it is brother, Noah and Sarah’s story. Joseph Anderson wants to build a state of the art Veteran’s Center and has given Noah and Sarah the job of designing the project, as they are both architects. Noah and Sarah find themselves falling in love but fighting their attraction to each other. Noah has never considered falling in love and settling down and Sarah doesn’t trust Noah not to break her heart. The two of them having to work together is making it hard to fight their attraction.
I am a diehard Melody Anne fan and have read most all of her books and have enjoyed them thoroughly. That being said I’m not a fan of this book. The plot seems a bit disjointed. It starts with a nail-biting first chapter then it goes on like none of that ever happened, no explanation as to the whys and wherefores of what happened. The story doesn’t seem to flow well in the first ¾ of the book and then the last ¼ seems to be a bit better. However, without giving the ending away, it seemed a bit rushed and with Noah leaving without helping to finish the project that brought them together in the first place. I really had a hard time enjoying this book and really do love this author but I just don’t think this was one of her better stories. I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
I loved this book! Melody Anne, this book was well worth the wait. i really enjoyed Noah, and as per normal you didn’t disappoint at all, and as normal there was no sleep until finished the last page. This series just get better, normally as a series progresses stories deteriorate a bit and become repetitive but Melody Anne’s stories just keep you riveted and coming back for more! This is the second book in the series and a great addition to the Anderson whole series. I absolutely love them and can’t wait to read more of the Andersons. Absolutely favourite series I’ve ever read and added to my all time favourite list for the whole the Andersons stories. So keep Keep them coming Melody! I would totally recommend this book and series especially if you enjoy Military Romance! Happy reading!!
Yet another 5 star book for Melody! I’m loving the new Anderson brothers series! Grab it asap!

Sarah knows she’s nt really needed on this design, but her name will be out there and it will help launch her career so she agree’s to do it. She has a history with Noah, can they keep it just a co worker relationship, or will Noah finally realize that shes the one for him. Read along and find out!
Loved this book, grab it asap!
Sarah Jennings is a newly-minted architect when she is hired to help design a veterans center with Noah Anderson, who is also an architect. They become lovers while they are working together on this project, and then they are in a car accident and Sarah nearly loses her life. After that, Noah decides to stay away from her because he is afraid of hurting her again. Sarah takes that as rejection and wants to resign from the veterans center project, but Joseph and Noah won’t let her. They really want her to complete the project, and deep down, she really wants to complete it as well. This story is about how they finally work things out and figure out all of the design challenges inherent within the project.
Sarah spends much of the book in a wishy-washy place where Noah is concerned. Noah knows his mind, but is afraid to trust it where Sarah is concerned. As a result, this book drags in places. The pacing is uneven at times as well. A good portion of the book is spent examining the motivations of each protagonist. While this leads to a deeper understanding of the characters, there were times when this reader wanted to move them along just a little bit faster. The interactions with Joseph and Katherine Anderson and with Noah’s siblings are some of the best parts of the story! These parts just come alive on the page. There is a low-level tension throughout much of the book as well, which is compelling to the reader. The good outweighs the bad, making this book worth reading. Many of the characters are memorable, making this reader wish they were real!
Noah and Sarah have a decent amount of push and pull with their emotions and intentions toward each other, and it seems like chemistry alone isn’t enough to bring them and KEEP them together. Sarah is unwilling to let her heart truly lead the way, while Noah is willing to lead with his heart, if only his stupid head would stay out of it. This series has been interesting because two brothers now have had to pursue the women they want, and they’ve both done so in original ways to avoid being too boring. I vastly preferred Noah and his methods to Finn’s, but Sarah and her reluctance to really take a chance for a decent chunk of the book somewhat annoyed me.
This was a pleasant story, but maybe I’m getting weary of Joseph Anderson interfering in everyone’s lives. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I won’t be interested to see what happens with Brandon and his uncle-created match, but sometimes these stories feel a tad formulaic. They’re definitely good for a fluffy read when I need to clear my head though.
