Blessed By Malakai (To Marry a Madden Book 1) Kindle Edition

The Madden men never ever disappoint, Malakai was no exception. I loved the chemistry between him and Avery. There were so many layers to their relationship, their past history and everything in between. Excellent read! I loved that we got another glimpse at his brothers, some we read about and others that we were not too familiar with and their cool parents. I await the next installment. You hit this one out the park as usual Sherelle!

Let me say that this is my first time reading from this author and it will not be my last. My favorite things about books are great characters that you love, a series that wraps you into their friendly and/or familial relationship, a great plot, and a delicate balance between fairytale and that of reality. Character development/relatability/likability (if that's a word): Excellent!Plot: Lovely!Fact that it's a series: Wonderful!I wanted to rate this as a 3.5 star like a B- but obviously you can't put halfs on Amazon so I rounded up.Here are my issues: Avery was supposed to provide a service. I never got confirmation on whether she did just that. Every thing seemed to have worked out but I know this because I am assuming this and know how fairytales work but is she good at her job? He gets a relationship but does that change the nation's perception of him? I wanted a little more here.Secondly, it really hurt me that Avery was hurt the way she was by those closest to her. It hurt me that Malakai went through what he did. I know life is messed up and I don't mind this element in my fairytales but you have to deliver that HEA like a BOSS if tragedy will hit our main characters that hard and those moments that the characters went through, their healing process--even if it was an argument between sisters--has to be shown. For me personally, I need to know without a doubt and be reassured that my couple healed well individually. They said it but I'm not so sure. Her sibling apologizing and saying that she felt bad AFTERa the fact and trying to say the other individual felt bad too (sorry trying to avoid spoilers here) does nothing. They probably just said "aww man we shouldnt have done that" and that was it. Never gave it another thought but said that because it sounded like the best thing to say when Avery called. It was way too devastating a blow to be glossed over like it was just as Malakai's was. It's just...things needed to end without a doubt the best that they could have been for this couple and a proposal, marriage, commitment isn't enough..it fell short of five stars because of that.All in all good read but I needed more for Avery and Malakai.

I just loved this couple together!!! Malakai was trying to get over going viral on Twitter about something extremely personal. Avery was hired as his image consultant after his many failed attempts at hiring the right image consultant. He wants to keep their relationship on a business level, even though he's immediately attracted to her and she agrees, even though she's already been fantasizing about him. Avery comes up with a drastic plan of action to redeem his image and he agrees to do it. It doesn't go according to how either of them plans. Heated glances and strong desires lead to a passionate relationship. All I can say is, fire, fire, fire. Ms. Green wrote Malakai and Avery in such a way that you fell in love with them as a couple. I also enjoyed the secondary characters in the book, Crayson, Tyler, Serenity and Jordyn, who all added to story being told. You can't help but wonder who's going to end up with the remaining Madden brothers. Catching up with the other Madden brothers and their wives was also a special treat. Reading this book made me anxious to read the rest of the series. Well done Ms. Green!!! Avery was definitely #BlessedByMalakai.

I always enjoy a story that has life lessons that can be learned even if it happens to be a romance fiction. Blessed By Malakai was one of those books that shows us what you have to do when you trust your heart even when it doesn't make any sense. Sherelle Green has her own unique way of storytelling, one that I have come to truly enjoy with those hot sizzling love scenes, great dialogue between the hero and heroine, including family and friends - all wrapped up in one package that satisfied all my reading needs. Plus I love the Madden brothers!!Check out the hero, Malakai's other brother's books which are part of another Sherelle Green Series - The Elite Series. Micah Madden (Red Velvet Kisses) and Malik Madden (Beautiful Surrender) other series books A Tempting Proposal and If Only for Tonight. Also the cousins series Bare Sophistication.
