Emergency Attraction

Samanthe Beck has another hit on her hands. Full disclosure: My girl-crush on Sinclair Smith began in book one of Beck's Love Emergency series. She was the protective big sister whose sassy personality almost eclipsed the heroine's. I've been anxious for her story ever since. It was well worth the wait. She's just as fiery, independent, and stubborn, which makes her perfect for Shane Maguire. Now there's a sexy hero who's going to make hearts flutter and panties melt. I have a slight aversion to alphas. By slight I mean I've never met one I didn't want to neuter. Our man Shane weaved back and forth over that alpha line, earning him the side eye for the first part of the story. In the second half he either chilled his controlling ways or his repeated attempts to win back Sinclair's heart wore me down. It's a toss up. Either way, it's a certainty that if I think a hero is too alpha, other readers are going to fall quick & hard, elevating him to the top of their BBF list. We met most of the secondary characters in the previous books. It was so much fun seeing them again. Sinclair and Savannah's parents are still the sweet, funny parents we all wish we'd had. Then there's Savannah, Beau, Hunter, Madison and a passel of little ones I couldn't keep track of. Boy, have they been having fun since we last saw them! I doubt we'll see him again in a starring role, but I have to give honorable mention to Shane's boss. He had a plain spoken way of delivering sage one-liners that was hilarious. I completely adored him. The story hooked me immediately and held me captive until the last word. I truly did not want this book to end. It was sweet, funny, emotional, and steamy-all delivered in that incomparable Samanthe Beck style. It will definitely go on my keeper shelf to be reread. If you haven't read this series yet, treat yourself now. Emergency Attraction can be read as a standalone, but you'll get so much more out of it if you read Emergency Engagement and Emergency Delivery first.

This is a book 3 in the Love Emergency series and it features Sinclair Smith and Shane Maguire. Teenage lovers separated too soon and 10 years later he's back in his hometown. All the sparks are still there but will explanations be enough for forgiveness? I adore Shane! He works hard at what he wants and refuses to give up a second time. I especially love the epilogue! Very funny and very sexy! I WANT A WILLOW TREE!!!

Samanthe Beck never fails to bring us truly unforgettable, deliciously sexy heroes and she doesn't disappoint in this book. Shane was all the above and more and Sinclair was a perfect match for him. There's plenty of sizzle between them and their story is a fun ride. The only regret Shane has is leaving Sinclair behind when he joined the Marines. He should have at least told her why but he's back now and willing to do whatever it takes to get her back. As expected Sinclair isn't willing to go along with Shane's plans. Perhaps a little revenge will help her finally get over him! I highly recommend this one.

I'll be honest here and say I'm not exactly a fan of second chance romance. If it didn't work the first time, I need a good reason as to why it will work the second time. I like this author and have enjoyed several of her books, so I wanted to give this one a chance. I admit, her reasons for this couple separating and not getting back together until 10 years later, convinced me. Their reasons were valid and that's enough for me. It also helped that Shane pursued Sinclair relentlessly when he came back. I'm a fan of that. I much prefer the man to pursue the woman and Shane didn't disappoint. I'm also a fan of the heroine's this author creates. They are strong, independent women who have self respect. That is important to me and sometimes rare to find. ARC provided by Netgalley
