I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
I loved the latest from the great mind of Nicole Snow. Her characters always manage to pull me in to their world. Skylar is set on her mission to find her niece and has laser focus when it comes to, running herself into the ground to find her. Yet when her boss and friend assigns someone to keep her safe it’s the last thing she wants or thinks she needs and makes sure to let Gabe know exactly how she feels. Gabe comes as a favor for a friend and gets more than he ever bargained for with the fiesty pixie that is Skylar. These two have a funny, steamy, dangerous, and sometimes hurtful road ahead, but if they can figure out a way to make it work it will be do worth it. I loved Gabe’s words that seem to rile Skylar, even when it’s just his southern manners and I absolutely loved what a tough woman Skylar is.
I’m Still Not Into You is a compelling read full of suspense, action, witty banter and all the feels.
Skylar Szabo is not a woman to be underestimated. She’s the very embodiment of “dynamite comes in small packages.” Sky is determined to exhaust all leads to find her niece but when her life is suddenly at risk her boss decides to call in reinforcements in the form of Gabe Barin.
Gabe is fiercely protective yet a gentle giant at heart. When Gabe meets Sky he can’t help but be intrigued by her despite all her “stay away” vibes. I loved watching these two go toe-to-toe and some of their exchanges had me laughing out loud and then swooning as Gabe saw through all the walls Skylar was throwing up.
Their story took a few unexpected turns that kept me hooked and reading as quickly as I could. I enjoyed the secondary characters as well and am looking forward to their stories. This captivating read is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you with a smile.
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
In typical Snow fashion she has written a book true to a woman’s hot blooded alpha fantasy but also realistic.
Our Hero and heroine are proof people gravitate and notice similarities in our internal struggles, demons, and inherent behavior. In this case it worked out but in reality, a lot of the times it doesn’t. After all the drama Gabe says it’s like meeting for the first time. He’s right and it shows a decent mental head space.
The mystery drama that flows through the book and weaves through the characters is so steeped in reality. It really shows how well Nicole Snow brings characters to life. Their stories are real and that makes this author a mistress of her craft.
TWO HOT EX-MILITARY STRANGERS ONLY BEGIN AS “ENEMIES”
After meeting Skylar and getting bits and pieces about her missing niece’s abduction in Nicole Snow’s STILL NOT OVER YOU, I was, sincerely, interested and wanted to hear Skylar’s story…STILL NOT INTO YOU is even more than I had hoped, and I may even love it more than I loved STILL NOT OVER YOU….which was a lot…
Both veterans of the military, Skylar (even with a nickname like Pixie)is a badass and Landon’s “2nd” in command in his security company…Gabe, the HUGE Southern gentleman, is Landon’s old friend and the only person he trusts to keep Sky safe…..Since she doesn’t want a “babysitter,” Skylar, immediately, tries to make Gabe’s life miserable…but, Gabe isn’t easily run off…Plus, with the kind of scorching hot chemistry we see between these two “enemies”, we realize, quickly, their passion “in the sack” is going to be just as scorching hot, if not MORE!!!!
STILL NOT INTO YOU is 100% pure Nicole Snow, and that makes it 100% the best of the best….
Skylar is such a spitfire! Hardened throughout her childhood and polished in the Navy, she’s learned to take care of herself and take down anyone who is a threat. Gabe is a true southern gentleman who’s been running since he graduated high school and went directly in the Army, only to become disillusioned and then worked as a mercenary. When these two are thrown together their true personalities begin to shine through. What a wonderful storyline Nicole Snow has created with two damaged heroes who manage to find love in a tragic set of circumstances. This one not only has passion but heart as well! A truly feel good HEA.

WOW.. What a different type of romance. It is about a former Navy Intelligence, Skylar Szabo does route planning and escort strategy for Enguard. She is hardened by life from the time she was young. Unfortunately, she has built serious walls around her keeping everyone away except her Grandma Eva and sister Monika. There is one good thing happening. Jim Appleroth is a friend of the family, he is a Mr. Rogers do gooder. He is good company for Monika and she does enjoy his company. Back to Skylar. Skylar feels emotions have no place in her life, thinks it makes her venerable. She is cold, distant, desperate, frightened, tense, bitter, angry, resentful, spiteful, cruel, defensive, vindictive, broody and feels the hurts of her life on the inside, Underneath all that she is fiercely loyal, dedicated, determined, intelligent and loving. She does not trust men because they always want the woman to concede the power in the relationship. That’s what she tells herself. When someone carves a threatening message in her car, her boss Landon Strauss knows it is because she is working on her own case. Skylar’s niece Joannie was kidnapped a few months ago. Her number one suspect is Harmon Ketchum. Monika’s ex and Joannie’s father. Landon knows that this latest threat is serious and decides to hire protection and security for her. Landon brooks no argument from Skylar. She acquiesces. Gabe Barin is a former army buddy of Landon who takes Skylar’s case. Gabe is automatically smitten with Skylar but does not let that get in the way of his job. Skylar on the other hand, is like a bucking bronco. She refuses and resents Gabe’s presence. She does not want a babysitter. Skylar treats him abominably. But true to his southern roots, he is a polite and gentle with her. Gabe is a huge man, attractive and light on his feet for his size. Skylar is impressed but will never admit it. Skylar works on leads to bag Harmon. She needs to get to him so he can tell her where to find her niece. Skylar is working on fumes. She hardly sleeps or eats. Gabe tries to reminder her that in order to be effective she has to take care of herself. She starts to realize that she and Gabe have things in common. She does not want to deal with the fact that maybe, just maybe she does not have to feel alone. Gabe works the case with her and gets a lead on Harmon. They find him and detain him. They interrogate him and get nowhere. But Skylar is not convinced that he is innocent. Gabe tries to show her that things do not add up. That it is possible that Harmon did not kidnap Joannie. Skylar is about to fall apart. Gabe suspects there is something or someone else they are overlooking, a lead they missed. Skylar and Gabe become intimate. They start to open up to each other. Then like a steel trap, Skylar shuts down and kicks Gabe to the curb. Gabe is confused and hurt. Skylar is determined to keep her emotions and feelings separate from her objective of finding out more about Harmon’s haunts and whereabouts. This is an exciting book steeped in mystery and suspicion. There is plenty of action and danger and you will never guess who the kidnapper really is. But I guessed who it was about two thirds of the way into the book. I really enjoyed reading this book. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I liked this story by Nicole Snow very much.
It was heartbreaking what Sky had to endure ever since her baby niece went missing. She felt responsible for Joannie being kidnapped, blamed herself and wore herself down with worry and searching for clues day and night for months. I felt every bit of her despair. She became a woman possessed, nothing and no-one more important than her mission to find her niece and make her family and heart whole again.
Add Gabe who found himself assigned to guard a small but determined woman who didn’t want to be guarded and made his life hard at every turn. Even his famous southern patience started to wear thin. He was a giant of a man but with such a clear heart and loving personality. Contradiction at its finest but so swoon-worthy.
I loved both characters, their love was a living breathing thing and one like no other. My heart swelled with so much emotion when they gave up themselves fully for their feelings.
The plot was very good even though I guessed who the kidnapper was pretty early on. I also liked the writing it conveyed every emotion realistically. And don’t get me started on the off the charts chemistry between these two. Their scenes were kindle-meltingly passionate.
I loved Gabe’s notebook, it was a nice touch and one more thing what made Gabe a great book-boyfriend.
The epilogue was also great. I can only recommend to read this romance.
A seriously Alpha man with manners that will make you melt gets the detail to protect a woman who, quite frankly, could give him a run for his money in the bada$$ stakes. Gabe was smitten the minute he met Sky but if he wanted her he had his work cut out for him because she was not going to give in without a fight but they have bigger problems to face.
I loved the strength of the characters and they were so well-crafted that they leapt off the page and their story kept me up way past my bed time.
Gabe and Skylar both were in the service. They both seen and did to many things they aren’t proud of. They also both lost people close to them. They learned to not to let people close to them. Gabe was hired to protect Skylar when her life was threatened. They are so much alike they couldn’t help but fall for each other. But do to the circumstances with how and why they met it keeping them from completely letting the other completely in. This is a well written book with great characters that delves into their emotional feelings on how they are coping with everything. I loved this book and highly recommend it.

Still Not Into You is an intense enemies to lovers story line full of danger, suspense, drama, witty banter, passion and so much more. While trying to find out what happened to her niece Skylar gets a death threat and her boss hires Gabe to keep her safe but neither of them expected how they would fall for each other. Loved how protective Gabe was over Skylar and how perfect they are together. An emotional story and a great HEA.
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Skylar “Sky” Szabo and Gabe Barin. Sky is a woman who knows how to get the job done and she doesn’t need anyone in her way when she does it. She has been looking for her niece since the babies father took her months ago. Everyone else has given up but her family. However she knows she is the only one who can get her back. When a note is carved into her car while on company property she knows she has to tell her boss. He of course gives her a bodyguard and not one she wants at first. Gabe is fighting the loss of his father. There are still times that he can’t believe that he lost him the way he did. However he is determined to be there for Sky even when she doesn’t want him. Can they both be there for the other and help put some of the demons to rest or will this just be a mistake from the get go?
This is an amazing story and another out of the park hit for this author. There are ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
I absolutely loved this book – it is powerful and intense. A compelling, thought-provoking read that is action-packed, witty, suspense-filled, funny, and emotionally deep. A captivating storyline that is an on the edge of your seat read. I love Skylar and Gabe as a couple … the chemistry between them is hot and off the charts. A really amazing read; definitely recommended.

Another good read by Nicole Snow. Skylar is a tough woman and no one needs to take care of her. She takes a strong heroine to a whole new level. Gabe is her “babysitter” to keep her safe and Skylar HATES it! Gabe is all southern gentleman which upsets Skylar more as he’s NICE! Watching Skylar do her best to ignore her attraction to Gabe was a great read. Can’t wait for the next book by Nicole!
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read.
What a wonderful book – with twists and mystery and two very broken closed off people finding love. Just excellent!
The story of Skylar who is hell-bent on finding her missing niece and the Goliath of a man sent to protect her Gabe. It’s truly a beautiful story.
The book was hard to put down even for a moment.
I have been waiting for this book since meeting Skylar in Still Not Over You!! I loved Skylar and Gabe. From their first impression of each other to their hot sexy scenes they are awesome. Nicole snow knows how to get all your emotions involved in a story and make you feel like you just went thru the best adventure of your life. I highly recommend this book for it’s friendships, it’s humor, it’s twists and turns and a beautiful love story! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
I loved the previous book in this series, Still Not Over You, but this is my new favorite! They aren’t really enemies it’s just that Sky is an independent woman who doesn’t need a babysitter like Gabe. A big hot man! He served with Landon and has been drifting since his father’s death. When Landon calls he comes to San Francisco not expecting The fiery pixie! It’s almost love at first sight. Someone wants Sky to quit looking for her niece that was taken. Sky believes it’s her sisters ex, Harmon that stole her. Well Gabe isn’t going to let anything happen to Sky whether she wants him around or not! If every to characters were more in sync than these two, it just so much hurt in the both of them. This is a magnificent book! Nicole is becoming one of my favorite authors! I always love reading her books! This is a must read!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked Gabe, the only thing that bothered me of Gabe was his like of Skylar. Skylar was horrible, horrible, I didn’t get why he liked her. She was mean and petty and ok let me try to understand her, someone kidnapped her niece right from under her so she had all this anger, well there is anger and just bitchiness, and she was the latter. I almost stopped reading because of how mean she was but I made myself continue I was enjoying book and even seemed to mellow out from my dislike of her and she was doing good and then went back to her assholishness, Gabe saved the book for me and the actual storyline.
