Publisher's summary

With The Look of Love, best-selling author Bella Andre introduces you to a fun and emotional contemporary romance series about the Sullivan family. Because when a Sullivan bad boy falls...he falls hard. And it's forever.

Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?

As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is - until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love-and protect-her, but will she let him?

Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her - and every sinfully sweet caress - as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can't help but wonder if she's met the only exception. And although Chase didn't realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn't the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he's gearing up for a different fight altogether - for Chloe's heart.

(NOTE: Explicit language, very steamy sex scenes...and lots of emotion!)

Critic reviews

" The Look of Love is an emotionally compelling, thoroughly sexy, lovely read. I can't wait for more Sullivan brothers!" (Carly Phillips, New York Times Best-selling Author)

" The Look of Love is the perfect combination of sexy heat and tender heart. This character driven romance has brains, brawn and the perfect bad boy to launch a whole family's worth of fun." (Barbara Freethy, number one New York Times Best-selling Author)

"Pure sensual fun! I couldn't read fast enough. I loved everything about Chase and Chloe's story. I'm hooked on the Sullivans!" (Marie Force, Best-selling Author)

No story, just sex.

Author uses a bad story to enhance sex, not sex to enhance a good story. Don't buy

So unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

I didnt even finish this book. It was just so ridiculous, it had me laughing!!! The hero finds this woman on the side of the road and its instant love, even though he has been an avid bachelor his entire adult life. He knows her for two days and loves her and cannot live without her...yuck. The sex was hott or I would have given it one star.

Even sex can be boring

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A real story would have made a real listen.

Has The Look of Love turned you off from other books in this genre?

This author will have made my "don't bother to download" list.

Terrible!

What a silly and unbelievable story. No character development, no depth, absolutely nothing. It's all about sex and two people who don't know each other fall in love in just a couple of days.

How silly!

Only good thing about this story was the narrator. I can't punish her for a horrible story. She did a great job.

I am glad that I bought this book while it was on sale. It would of really upset me if I used a credit or paid full price for it.

The reviews are really misleading. I fast forwarded through most of this book with the hopes that I might be able to get to a part that provided some substance. It simply did not happen. First and last time I listen or read anything by this author. I almost feel that some of the reviews are fabricated.

UNLISTENAB LE

RIDICULOUS- STUPID- DUMB-WASTE OF TIME- COULD NOT LISTEN- AWFUL-HORRIBLE-RUNNING OUT OF WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW DUMB THIS BOOK WAS.

If we want sex with no story this is your book

What disappointed you about The Look of Love?

No story line

What could Bella Andre have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Less sex more plot

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Eva Kaminsky?

She wasnt bad it was lack of story line for me

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I didn't get past the first hour so I'm unsure

Any additional comments?

Didnt get past the first hour

Not Impressed...

What would have made The Look of Love better?

The story was way to predictable. Needed more to the story plot.

Would you recommend The Look of Love to your friends? Why or why not?

No. Just very dull and boring

What three words best describe Eva Kaminsky’s performance?

She was good. Strong, pleasant voice. Read very well with lots of emotion.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It was the perfect love story with lots of steamy sex. (just boring) needs more ...drama! LOL!

Any additional comments?

I am going to buy the 2nd book in the series to see if it has a better story plot... more of a plot. Hoping that it will redeem the series. If not, then I will be moving on to a new author.

Disappointed

The audio.does not follow the book. Too many changes? Not sure why if the audio changed from the book, why not make the same changes in the book to match. Quite disappointed

Romance? No romance, all sex

This is my first (and probably last) Bella Andre novel. The characters were shallow, the plot thin and had more sex than dialogue. Just not a book for those who want a meaningful read.

Had promise but...

sorry to say this could have been a good book but instead 10% story 90% sex, not sure I will try the others.
she can write but choose not to fill out the story, Too bad
