Review- The Look of Love by Bella Andre

Summary-

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.

Review-

I wanted to read the Sullivan s by Bella Andre since a long time. When I finally had nothing else to read and was in the mood to read some plain old contemporary romance, I got to The Look of Love. While I can't say it was amazing, because frankly, it wasn't even close to it but it was okay and I have hopes for the remaining books in the series.

Chloe is having a bad night. He car ends up in a ditch and she is standing in pouring rain with a bruised cheek. But then Chase Sullivan shows up and things start looking up. I found Chloe to be okay. Yes, she had a horrible past with her ex and her insecurities kept showing up. But listening to her go on and on about never trusting a man again got a bit boring.

Chase Sullivan is a photographer. He has his pick of the most beautiful women in the world but when he sees Chloe at the side of the road he instinctively wants her. I liked Chase. He wanted to help and protect Chloe. He was a patient man and the love he shared for the remaining Sullivan clan was obvious.

I am not a big fan of insta love and that is exactly what we get to see in The Look of Love. It was more like insta lust but love came very soon too. Chloe and Chase red great chemistry. Bella Andre knows how to write steamy scenes which just the right amount of banter and intimacy and it was great to see Chloe and Chase together.

I am also really intrigued by the oldest Sullivan brother Marcus. I will be getting right to his book next. But in general all the six brothers and the twin girls sound wonderful. I can't wait to read all their stories. I ended up liking The Look of Love.
