From This Moment On: The Sullivans, Book 2

This book didn't disappoint - it had great characters, good plot, a doomed love affair and was thoroughly entertaining which is what we hope we get from a book.

Worth a credit? These books aren't rocket science but if you're in the mood for a light, easygoing enjoyable listen that doesn't challenge you then this is your book.

This is my 2nd book by this author. I was hoping that book two would not be let down and I am so glad to say it was not. I really enjoyed the story of Marcus Sullivan and Nicola. It was charming with a inelligent story line. And, yes this author brings the heat. This is what I expect in a good modern day romance. The narrator really brings this story to live. Did I say I have already downloaded book #3. I am so glad I found this author, she is totally terriffic.

I enjoy listening to books as it makes the train trip to work and back everyday more enjoyable, it is not always easy to open a book, especially if you are standing, but listening is great. You get much more out of the book if the narrator is good like Eva, makes it more interesting.

Just a nice story, easy to listen to didn't require a great deal of thinking about which suits me to and from work.

Her ability to make the people come alive and you knew who was talking as she kept the voices going really well. Sometimes narrators fall short with remembering who is talking The queen of narrators if Susan Ericksson.

The story is great, the continuation in this series is something I'm looking forward to. I am dying to know what happens to the next Sullivan!

4.5 Stars

From This Moment On is the second book in The Sullivans series by Bella Andre. Oh my goodness, this one was even better than book one. I listened to this book in audio and Eva Kaminsky is an amazing narrator. I love how she portrays this family and each character individually.

Marcus Sullivan is the oldest of the Sullivan clan. He stepped up and helped raise all of the younger siblings when their father died. He’s the responsible one. He may be the owner of a very successful winery, but he is always there when the family needs him. Now he is ready to throw caution to the wind and do something just for him. Walking in on his fiancé with another man might have pushed him to this decision, but whatever the reason he’s going out and finding a woman for a completely “no strings attached” night of loving.

Nicola Harding is so tired of her “bad girl” image. As a famous pop star her agent assures her that there is no such thing as bad press, so keep up the charade. This night, however, the irony is killing her. Anyone who hears the name Nico automatically thinks about the infamous trysts that have been detailed about her. Little do they know she has only had 2 lovers in her life and neither was anything to write home about. Tonight she has decided if the world is going to paint her a certain way than tonight she will be “that girl”.

I love how Marcus and Nicola are thrown together so unexpectedly and how nothing worked out the way that either of them planned. No matter how hard he tried Marcus couldn't be anything less than his protective, caring self and Nicola could be nothing less than the “good girl” that she really is. The journey these two characters take together was so much fun and tough. They had to make some big decisions and adjust some pretty big ways of thinking. Lucky for them, they had each other to get through it.

This series rocks and, so far, it just keeps getting better and better. We get to know more of the Sullivan family and get more hints of what is to come for them. I can not wait to read/listen on. I honestly think this book would be great in either format, print or audio. You can’t go wrong!

I know this is a romance but that doesn't mean it needs to be stupid. I don't know which one was worse the narrator or the story. I couldn't even finish this book I was almost to the end but I thought if I had to listen to that narrator's voice for one more minute I would be sick. I turned it off. I've never listened/read a Bella Andre book before and I think any male would be insulted by the dialog. Real men do not talk, act or think like that...if they did I'd be single. Yuck!

I kept asking myself if I would like the story better if I read it (I really hated the narrator). I won't be getting any others by this author or narrator. I guess everyone is different and some will love this book but it just wasn't for me.

I enjoyed the narration.

When Nicola and Marcus meet the first time.....heat!

I loved her voice, she does a nice sexy male voice....

I was a little perturbed at the open ended finish...there will be lots of plots and sub-plots to deal with in upcoming listens...

The premise of this book was kind of the typical thing...boy meets girl, either boy or girl or both want to deny their feelings, and we have 7 hours of should we or shouldn't we?

Nothing heart wrenching, nothing explored too deeply, it's a fluff read, which is what I was in the mood for. There was a bit of steam and sexual tension which bumped it up to a 4, but if the male lead hadn't been a little dominating in the bedroom it would have been a 3.5 based on story content.

My advice, put this series in your wish list and that way you will know when it goes on sale. They aren't worth credits, but they are nice for a light listen.

the storyh itself is good but there is not one part that wowed me

the emotion behind the words,

Of the sullivan brothers, this is # 1. Loved Smith, and Ryan's as well,and still have Chase's story to listen. Gabe story just did not appeal to me. Zack's started out fairly great w/ puppy, but turned a bit dark/sad so it was not a favorite. Sophie's story, broke my heart.

Marcus, bad boy with lots of style

I wish Eva read a bit faster. This is one of her better reads as the story had a better outline.
I would not buy her as a reader if not for Sullivan brothers.

I did listen to this one all at once. True core romance with enough of all the right elements.

You do not have to listen to the books order in as Bella writes with enough tie in, but does not have the stories based on a mystery. I like the older brothers Marcus and Smith the best. Ryan was yummy. Ms Andrea is very cleaver in her outlines.
