Resumen del Editor

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!)

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Everything was to rushed from damaged emotional girl to i love you in 1 week just not believable...

She did a good job... enjoyed her voice and reading

No

Any additional comments?

This book was Fluff and Sex...

Good story.

Good overall. I believe the narrator had a cold during the recording which is kind of odd during the love scenes.

A cottoncandy listen, very sweet but yummy

I hadn't heard of this author before so I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. If you're in the mood for an easygoing light listen - handsome guy meets a damsel in distress then sets about rescuing her but falls in love with her instead then this is your kinda book.

Worth a credit? Yes it was entertaining and I'm off to listen to book 2.

So Dissappointed...

This was the first time I read/listened to a book by Bella Andre. I took a chance based on all the good reviews. I was so disappointed. I could barely find the story in the midst of all the sex scenes. I like reading happy romances and falling in love just as much as the next person. But this story was so improbable. The amount of sex that was had in 3 days. I'm not a prude but I didn't get a chance to like the main charachters. I speed through it to find out what happen with the ex. I'm sad I didn't do what I normally do and just try one book before I bought another in the series. The 5th book was on sale and based on the reviews I took a chance and bought it before the end of the sale. Now I don't see myself listening to it. I'm not sure the narrator helped things. She read so slowly that it dragged things along also. First time a review has failed me.

Disappointed

The book started out great, but then seemed to get stuck. I wished the author did more character development.

Wonderful love story!

What did you love best about The Look of Love?

The setting (a winery) - the male character (a photographer) - and the female character (a battered woman intent on making her own way) are a recipe for fun...and the author does not disappoint! This is my first Bella Andre book, but it won't be my last...book 2 and book 3 of the Sullivans are already on my wish list!

What other book might you compare The Look of Love to and why?

It reminded me a bit of Sarah Mayberry's "All over you" - in that the female lead had been totally burned before and needed a lot of space and tenderness before she was willing to lay it all on the line again.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Chase Sullivan's patience and genuine caring really touched me. He was such a wonderful and kind character...and yet the author was able to make him a strong exciting male lead at the same time.

Any additional comments?

I am already looking forward to book 2 (Marcus's story). The author did a great job of only giving me a tiny peek into his character and making me drool for more!

Good introduction to the Sullivan family

This first book of the Sullivans was a great introduction. It was funny, sexy and romantic.

so-so

This story line and the characters were just a little too much for me. Every phrase, every reaction, was too perfect. I realize romances are fantasy, but this is not even close to believable. Sad to say there really aren't men, or women, like this out there. Glad I didn't use a credit on this, got it on a good sale. Not sure I can listen to the rest in this series if they are all so white knight and fair maiden, both perfect.

Time filler

A lot of fluff but no substance. It was a great book to play and zone out while working though.
