It’s hard to be Nate Becker in a Bennett world. But we’ve always considered ourselves family.I travel the world as a TV producer, never able to spend much time with them. Which might be a good thing. Because my best friend’s little sister has never felt like that to me. That sexy little spitfire has always caught my attention. If I don’t stick around too long, Sebastian will never notice the way … notice the way I look at her.
But Alice Bennett has other plans.
Her new restaurant would be a perfect feature on one of my network’s shows.
It’s almost too easy to set up meetings with her. Invent excuses to need more information. To boss her around the way she seems to like. It’s harmless, I tell myself. I’m moving to London in three weeks, I tell myself. I’m not going to upset Sebastian, I tell myself. Famous last words.
I can’t cross the line with her. We can’t jeopardize the family relationships. But between stolen kisses and wicked-hot nights, it’s spinning out of our control.
When the chance of a lifetime comes knocking at my door, it’s time to decide what has more allure–my career, or a chance with her?

I love the Bennett Family and all the swoon worthy male characters and the strong female characters in The Bennett Family series by Layla Hagen. Your Alluring Love is the sixth book in the series and it surely did not disappoint. Once again Layla Hagen has delivered a book that is filled with incredible characters and a red-hot romance in this friends to lovers romance. I loved the quotes that are found throughout the book, either advice from the Bennett family matriarch, Jenna Bennett or precepts that Alice has developed as to how to live her life. It was an added bonus to a wonderful story. Layla Hagen has once again confirmed that she is an incredible storyteller. Your Alluring Love is Alice Bennett’s story, she is the first of the Bennett family siblings strike out on her own and create a life for herself outside of Bennett Enterprises. Alice is the owner of two restaurants and is opening a restaurant and bar with Blake. Alice has always had a crush on Sebastian and Logan’s best friend, adopted Bennett, Nathan Becker. The only problem is that Nate is always traveling around the world for his job. Nate returns to San Francisco to get ready to move to London for a new job. Alice and Nate acknowledge their mutual attraction for one another and agree to date. Alice has a list of rules that Nate must follow. I love the easy going relationship between Alice and Nate. As their romance unfolds, both Alice and Nate profess their true feelings. Like all of Layla Hagen’s books, Your Alluring Love is filled with bittersweet and poignant moments, and her usual plot twists. Even though you know the plot twists are coming, I love how the issues are resolved. It was a wonderful story with a sizzling romance between two friends. I love the Alice is a strong independent woman who has branched out on her own. I could not put it down. I loved every page. Your Alluring Love was truly an incredible story.
More Bennetts- Alice and Nate have a terrific love story
Reading more about the Bennett family always makes me smile. This is a great clan that bands together to help each other while allowing each other to fly and find their own path. This time, we get Alice’s story, she has been a significant part of the matchmaking plans for the family. I was excited for her to find her HEA. She has been in love with Nate, her brother’s best friend, for years but because he’s friends with her brother, and older, he’s been off limits. She has pined for him from a far. Nate is in love with Alice but out of respect for his friend, has stayed away. His TV career has had him all over the globe working so when he finally ends up back in San Francisco on a long-term project, well, he decides to take chance and asks Alice out. I love how these two tried so hard to stay away even when their electric attraction kept pulling them together. Nate is very persistent but Alice is clever and makes his job hard. All of these stories deliver fun, romance, passion and overall, a great sense of family, whether blood related or not. I’m always excited to dive in and learn more about the Bennett family members lives.
Big, Boisterous and Bold are the perfect adjectives to describe the captivating Bennett clan. They play hard, love hard and care deeply for each other. That’s the definition of what family should be and Ms. Hagen successfully centers every story around that foundation. Your Alluring Love is Alice’s turn up to bat. For her it’s always been one man that held a place in her heart. Nate has been friend, crush and dream man for most of her adult life. Can he change his wandering ways enough for them to explore what’s in their hearts? Each Bennett novel is better than the one before and I am excited that Ms. Hagen has more of these dynamic characters, waiting to be explored.
I love the Bennett family and will be so sad when all of their stories have been told. It will be like loosing a family to moving. But at least that is not now because I had Alice’s story I was honored to read. I just knew her story was going to be so good from all the hints we have gotten from the other books about her and her “secret crush”. Well, let me tell you this book is oh so good. You have heard the expression “still waters run deep”. Well this could explain both Alice and Nate to a T.
