The Way You Look Tonight is the newest book in Bella Andre's New York Times and USA Today bestselling Sullivan series. Over a million books sold so far!

As a very successful private investigator who has caught most of the cheaters in Seattle with their pants down, Rafe Sullivan believes true, lasting love only happens once in a blue moon. Needing to get away from the city to clear his head, he finds the lake house where he spent the best summers of his life is now a wreck…but the sweet girl next door is all grown up and prettier than anything he's ever seen.

While Brooke Jansen is happy making and selling chocolate truffles in her small Pacific Northwest lake town, she secretly longs to experience something wild. So when her favorite "Wild Sullivan" moves in again next door after more than a decade away, and sparks fly between them, she can't stop wondering if being bad is really as good as it always seemed…and just how long it will be before she can find out.

But when their summer fling quickly spirals into deeper emotions than either of them were expecting, can they survive the heat between them? Or will Rafe make the biggest mistake of his life and end up losing the best thing that's ever happened to him?

This is a feel good romance with sex sprinkled in.

A Great Way to Enjoy Bella's Work

Would you consider the audio edition of The Way You Look Tonight to be better than the print version?

I think this enhances the print version. But it is a great alternative.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Brooke Jansen was my favorite character. She's got a great profession and had me wishing that this came with smell-a-vision. And having a female narrator also helps the reader identify with the female character.

Have you listened to any of Eva Kaminsky’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not but am looking forward to changing that. Just by the sound of her voice she paints a great picture of the Sullivan family. You also won't get bored listening to her.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me smile. It's a great way to fall in love with a family who seem to care about each other.

Any additional comments?

If you've never experienced an audiobook before, this would be a great way to change that. If you're a fan of Bella Andre, you should experience one of her books in audio form. This would be a great one to take to the beach or a lake (a great way to set the ambiance).

STILL LOVING THE SULLIVANS

What made the experience of listening to The Way You Look Tonight the most enjoyable?

By now, there really isn't anything you can go wrong with these books. Easy sweet read and I like them all.

Have you listened to any of Eva Kaminsky’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great as usual.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Rafe Can Investigate Me Anytime

I didn't want the Sullivans to end so I'm glad we now get the Seattle Sullivans. This is another episode of how a member of the perfect family finds love. A great sweet and cute romance. This is a light and easy listen and Eva Kaminsky does a wonderful job with the Sullivans.

Although this is a sweet romance there are explicit sex scenes -- sweet romantic sex scenes.

I've listened to the entire series at least twice so definitely worth the credit.

AMA,ing Love!

I the the Sullivans but I have to admit that Rafe is one of my favorite. He is dark but has a heart of gold! It was only fitting for him to get a woman as bright as Brook! I just wish there was more to their story! Just an amazing love story. I read romances all the time but I have to be honest the Sullivan's have been one of my favorite series

EASY LISTENING ROMANCE

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes. That said, when I get tired of intense drama, sex, mystery, and plot, I turn to BA's books. I love the Sullivan series and am glad to see it's extension to another branch of the family.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I think the disparity between Brooke & Rafe makes the story interesting. The least interesting is that the story didn't really have much depth and it seemed rushed; rushed to meet again, rushed to love, rushed, rushed, rushed, almost as if BA was trying to hurry through the book in order to get to another.

Which scene was your favorite?

The end when Rafe is making his amends. (No spoilers)

What would have made this romance irresistible?

More "story".

Any additional comments?

Not BA's best, but easy, soft and enjoyable.

THANK GOD THERE'S MORE SULLIVANS

Chocolate Truffles melt in your mouth and so will Rafe and Brooke love the Sullivans Thank You Bella for more Sullivans

Not worth the credit.

I usually enjoy Bella Andre's books but this one fell far short. Pretty much everything I appreciated about her work is missing in this attempt. It has a weak, almost non-existent story line that moves from one erotic session to the next with limited character or plot development. Although I was tempted a number of times to stop listening I persevered through to the end, hoping it would get better. It didn't.

The way you look tonight

I like the way Bella deals with Complex personalities and deep and meaningful relationships. Attraction and wonderful childhood memories of both Brook and Rafe provided a healing platform for them, as they developed this relationship, because the had both suffered some Emotional Trauma

Love is forever.

I just finished listening to one of my favorite Sullivan family books. After 50+ years with my late husband, I have to agree with Brooke, Love Is Forever. Great story by a great writer. Look forward to the next Audible. Eva Kaminski did a wonderful narration.

Loved this

Loved this book anyway but having the audible when needed was fantastic and able to listen while doing housework and other things and not missing out on having to read it or waiting to have a few minutes to read
Will be using audible again on other books when I have my housework to do

One word - BoRING!

I had such high hopes for this one. Lovely setting, near Seattle, there's a lakehouse, good storyline indicated. It fell seriously flat. It was painfully boring and slow moving. The characters very one dimensional and the dialogue didn't grab me at all. In fact the dialogue surrounding the 'love scenes' was at times cringy. The words 'sensuality' and 'wild' were used at least once in every paragraph yet nothing 'wild' ever actually happened.

Overall disappointing and would give it a miss if I were you.
