I was so excited to be back in Crystal Cove with an amazing group of friends.
In Something More you dive into the life of Mia Parker and FBI Agent Ryan Thorne. Their story is full of suspense, heartache, following your dream, friendship, family and a steamy romance.
These characters will feel like family. You will laugh with then and cry with them. They will make you laugh and frustrate you.
I would highly recommend this book and series.
I recieved an ARC of this books, and voluntarily left an honest review.
I really loved Mia she is not afraid to speak her mind, has a good amount of sass to her and I totally get her feeling left out as all her friends are in relationships apart from her. Then there is Ryan aka James, wow you really do get mixed signals from him but the more he opens up the more you want him and Mia to get together even if he doesn’t indicate he wants to. There is plenty of confusion, mixed signals, laughs, heartache, baddies and some hawt scenes between Mia and Ryan that keep you turning the page and needing to know how things will end! This is the first in this series that I have read so I will be going back to read the others now as I have to get to know about how all the others got together!!!

Mia was a bit over the top acting like she was being attacked when she thought James “Ryan” was following or kidnapping her and when she thought her sister-in-law was being harassed. She tended to act without thinking at times. She claimed that it was just sex with Ryan, but it was clear and he could tell too that it was more than that even though he went weeks between seeing her. He puts up walls because of what happened to his ex-wife and her child when a perpetrator he was investigating killed them. He’s afraid of Mia and his heart getting hurt. I thought it was cool that she was writing and illustrating marine life children’s books and that he knew so much about marine biology because of his father. It was nice to catch up with the characters from the previous books in this series.
This is another good book from the author. She develops the characters each so uniquely you find yourself lost in the book pretty much from the very beginning.
The two main characters are Mia Parker and FBI Agent Ryan Thorne. Mia is watching her girl friends get married and having children in their quiet little town in Maine. She goes out to bars and dates but nothing serious. Agent Thorne is in Maine watching over Mia’s sister who had issues and now a new identity. Mia meets agent Thorne (in his character James) while she was researching sea life for her start as a children’s author. They get along and decide to spend the day together. It’s then that he has to reveal who he really is, FBI Agent Ryan Thorne. He’s a very mysterious complex man but she really wants to get to know him. She finds him to be very aloft as to who he really is. And Ryan fell’s like he’s carrying a ton of baggad and doesn’t want to get serious with anyone. They end up having amazing sex and both agree it’s only see. After having sex severaly times, they are each realizing it’s not just sex. Each realizes this but how to tell the other is something they can’t figure out.Mia feels she’ll never be good enough for someone like Ryan Agent Thorne feels that everyone he cares about ends up dead and he doesn’t want that to happen to Mia.
Everyone of the friends are hooking up and baby fever is overtaking their bodies. In the midst of it all Mia is realizing she really want’s that. The whole shebang. The problem is you gotta have a viable pool of candidates and she doesn’t. He has lost too much in and is closed off to more. Nothing can or will come of it but why the hell not. This story is an emotional battle between two scared people. It’s heartbreaking and yeah at times he is master jerk extraordinaire, until he isn’t. It’s a slippery slope with Mia showing her issues and him showing his. I love the series and the friends they make it all good again and give plenty of reasons for deep cleansing laughs.
This is book six of the A Well Paired Novel and in this book we get Mia and Ryan’s story. Mia needs a break from her crazy life so she heads to the beach where she meets the mysterious Ryan. Ryan is an FBI Agent who shuts people out because of something that happened in his past. When he meets Mia his wall comes down. From the well developed characters to the emotional storyline and everything in between this is a definite page turning book.
I liked this book. I liked the unique characters and that things weren’t just clique and easy like so many storylines. I haven’t read the previous books in the series, but I can see the characters and pieces of their struggles woven through. This book has some steamy scenes.
