Publisher's Summary

Logan Bennett knows his priorities. He's loyal to his family and his company. He has no time for love and no desire for it - not after a disastrous engagement left him brokenhearted. But when Nadine enters his life, she turns everything upside down. She's sexy, funny, and utterly captivating. She's also more stubborn than anyone he's met, including himself.

Nadine Hawthorne is finally pursuing her dream: opening her own clothing shop. After working so hard to get here, she needs to concentrate on her new business and can't afford distractions - not even if they come in the form of Logan Bennett. He's handsome, charming, and doesn't take no for an answer.

Their attraction is sizzling, their connection undeniable. Slowly Logan wins her over. What starts out as a fling soon spirals into much more than they are prepared for.

When a mistake threatens to tear them apart, will they have the strength to hold on to each other?

Loved the story and the narration by Nelson Hobbs

I've loved this series so far! The story is sweet and just the kind of thing you need to take your mind off of the stresses that life has to offer! I laughed, swooned, and truly enjoyed this story.

Carly Robins was a good narrator but by my personal preference I did not like that her voice would change in volume so frequently. There were multiple minutes of strain to hear, so I'd turn up the volume only to be blasted out by her sentences the next. So make sure your hearing is on it's "A" game.

Otherwise the entirety I'd recommend to anyone who loves HEA, a steamy romance, and an amazing family series thrown in.

Nadine and Logan- 2nd of Bennett Sibling stories

This story matches Ava’s best friend Nadine- a poor, down on your luck but talented fashion designer, with CFO executive Logan. He’s immediately attracted but not sure he wants to be matched up by his 2 sisters and has been burned by a fiancé only interested in his money. Nadine is proud, sweet, and resistant due to a bad breakup so it takes half the book to get them together. There is a very minor communication mixup which provides the drama.

Carly Robins does a good job with the female voices but not so much with the male voices. The story is fine as a mildly sexy romance. Nelson Hobbs does a good job with the guy voices but his female voices do sound a lot a like.

The ending is a bit rushed but there are more siblings to go and since the large family is close there will be more. The only other comment is that while I get that the covers images are total fantasy and it would have been unlikely to actually have models that look like siblings, but this cover depicts 2 African Americans. From the cover I would have thought maybe I missed something from book 1 and maybe Logan was a half sibling or adopted? But no - just a mismatch in cover and story.

Funny, hot and super entertaining

This series keeps getting better and better. The Bennets are a loving and caring family, always ready to put their hands on whatever needs to be done to help.

Their alpha sons are so hot and funny you fall for them from the beginning. Nadine is strong and just like Eva, is very lonely and has lived without siblings and love. Sweet story about friendship and family...

tried another and still disappointed

despite the fact that I thought book one was awful, I decided to try another one. The story line is predictable and the narration is still awful.

I love this one

So far this one is my favorite I have read three books and I like this one best so I hope all the other ones are as good as this one

Loving the Bennett family

I’m listening to this series via audiobooks and they are certainly helping me get through cleaning out closets and drawers and all my other summer projects. Light, easy, little to no angst and a lovely HEA. On to Pippa’s story....

Really love this series!

Would you listen to Your Captivating Love again? Why?

Yes! I’m already listening for a second time. I love listening to series.

What did you like best about this story?

The storyline with an alpha male and a woman who becomes a damsel in distress. Logan always wants to help and Nadine wants to be independent. But they both have to learn how to be who they are but also be dependent on each other.

What about Nelson Hobbs and Carly Robins ’s performance did you like?

They made the story seem more real. I love the dual narration and how the story is written in 2 viewpoints.

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

When Nadine has the fire in her apartment building, the entire Bennett clan stepped in to help take care of Nadine and make things better for her. After having been thru an apartment fire myself, I know what it feels like to be able to rely on others and let them help when they want to.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoy listening to the entire series of the Bennett family.

Love the Bennetts!

Bennetts...Bennetts... and more Bennetts! Words cannot describe how much I love the Bennetts! Love Layla Hagen! Love the story of Logan an Nadine! Ahhh Logan...sigh. Oh how I love him. Narrators did an awesome job as well!

Narration was good but could have been better

Logan and Nadine were setup. They were thrown together at every opportunity. The meshed well with each other but a set up neither wanted. Neither was looking, but they found something worth looking over their past hurts and wrongs. Logan was everything including stubborn to the bone, but very loyal. Nadine had him beat with how stubborn she could be. But she was also funny, loyal, charming, and sexy.

Watching these two move forward with everything was captivating.

love this book

I'm loving this series of books. can't wait to hear book three. love, laughs and some steamy parts ;)
