Nadine is a fighter and a survivor. Her whole life, she has been the one taking care of everyone else while finding ways to do what she needs on her own. Logan Bennett tests these beliefs and boundaries since he is the one in his family that makes sure everyone is cared for and he is captivated by Nadine so naturally wants to care for her. Will these two strong-willed individuals find a way to meet in the middle? I loved how Nadine really stuck to her guns and who she is, not giving in to Logan. He really has to work to find a way to help her. There connection as a couple is fabulous since they have a lot in common, both are driven, care-givers that know what they want. We also get to experience the entire Bennett family, getting more insight into their family along with who might be in the matchmaker cross-hairs next. What a fabulous series to get carried away with.
Favorite Quotes:

My Review:
Layla Hagen is one of my go-to authors for the sexy and sweet romance and I am firmly enamored with her latest series featuring the large and highly successfully Bennett family. I want to be an adopted Bennett… Ms. Hagen’s characters tend to be smart, clever, hard working, and endearingly flawed. I am always entertained by her lushly descriptive writing, whether she is detailing a room, personality, appearance, or personal history. Her creative sensual love scenes often leave me gasping and chartreuse with envy. More please!

The Bennetts are back. More adorable than ever. What struck me in Sebastian and Ava’s story (Your Irresistible Love) is how close this family is. They work together, play together, worry together and even do matchmaking together. It’s the Bennetts against the world and everything they do is out of love for one another. Layla Hagen uses family as a stepping stone and a focal point. By doing this she lets her readers know what is important to these alpha males and focused females. Love personified is how I would describe it. I received an ARC of Your Captivating Love in exchange for an honest review. I have been looking forward to reading Your Captivating Love since I finished the first story in this series and learned that Logan’s story was next. To put up with these men a woman has to be strong, secure and driven. She also has to have an amazing heart and a strong capacity for love. We saw a little bit of Nadine in Ava and Sebastian’s whirlwind love story and I was so glad to find out more about her. She’s a pistol but when she connects with someone, she cares deeply. Complexity does not always make a good story. Sometimes simplicity makes all the difference. I love this series.
