Since I Fell For You (New York Sullivans) (The Sullivans Book 16)

Someone once asked the question “Would you rather marry into the Sullivan’s or have been born into their family?” (Thank you, Melissa) My answer was “marry”. The thought of being someone from outside this family and being welcomed into all those warm open arms? WOW!! In this book… Roman was not that lucky.Suzanne Sullivan is in trouble. Her brothers see it why can’t she. They hire bodyguard, Roman Huson behind her back. He vows to do whatever it takes to protect her. Then they see each other for the first time, oh boy. The sparks begin to fly!!!Roman is determined to do the right thing, Suzanne is his client, he cannot touch her. He. Cannot. Touch. Her!!!!! Suzanne has other plans. Then, her brothers find out. OUCH!I LOVE the Sullivan series, and this book certainly lives up to the reputation! I do not know how Bella Andre does it. There are over 16 books in this wonderful series, and each and every one is different. I love the way she keeps her readers updated on past couples. Watching the individual families grow and have children of their own.Thank you, Bella Andre, for the spectacular continuation to this series.Thank you for reading my review. Now, go hit that one-click button. I know you will not be sorry you did.

This book had all the elements that should've guaranteed a 5-star-amazing-oh-yes reading:-Technology/web expert heroine? Check.-Bodyguard badass hero who's hired to protect heroine? Check.-Attraction between heroine and hero with a bit of animosity included? Check.-Mysterious plot of someone trying to hurt the heroine so the hero has to protect her? Check.-Heroine not really needing protection because she can take care of herself but she also accepts we all need help sometimes? Check.-Mention/cameos from my favourite Sullivans? DOUBLE CHECK!-Hero/Heroine who communicate? Check.So what happened?The mysterious plot was bland. This was no romance suspense book, I know, but I did expect something more thrilling to justify the need of a bodyguard. I even forgot there was supposed to be a bad guy until the characters mention it again when the book's about to end. And regarding the romance part, it was nice, but the falling-in-love happened way too fast. There wasn't even a real conflict between them, and though I am grateful for that sometimes, in here it just made the romance a bit boring.***OVERALL:As a huge Sullivan fan, I'm always happy to see more books and get to know more family members, but book 2 in the New York branch (book 16 overall) didn't amaze me.

I received this book today and devoured it in 1 sitting. Bella Andre has never disappointed me yet. This book was no exception. The computer geek and the body guard stumble their way to HEA. Conquering traumatic childhoods is a painful process. This branch of the Sullivans (New York) introduces new relatives while including characters from previous stories.

Every time I begin a new Bella Andre book about the Sullivans, I don't think it can get any better, but it always does! And maybe that's the wrong way to phrase my feelings ~ because the Sullivans are always out of this world. Each story starts with a bang and never lets up for a minute, until we sigh with pleasure at their happy ever after.Suzanne Sullivan, with beauty to match her glorious brain, is a force to be reckoned with. With an independent spirited nature that is often at war with her over protective brothers, she is furious when they hire a bodyguard due to threats against her computer security software company. As CEO, she is used to handling difficult situations and resents the interference of her loving family.When she meets Roman Huson, she is shocked by her immediate volatile attraction to him and begins a plan to knock down his control so he will quit. Suzanne has no idea what is in store for her because Roman is not one of her smooth-talking sophistocated types she is used to controlling. Little by little, Suzanne finds Roman's sensitivity about her own wishes and needs as a strength, while empathizing with his vulnerabilities. Ms. Andre has a way with dialogue that is too clever for words. And OMG, what a match they make! Their passion explodes and physically, mentally and soulfully, they align themselves in the most beautiful way, capturing our heart when we need a boost of warmth.There are some books that I can read over and over again ~ I'm just sorry the star rating only goes up to 5. If I could, Bella Andre would get 10++++Now, I'm just sad that I have to wait until spring and summer of '17 for the next two books about the Sullivans at Summer Lake.

Really enjoyed this story in the series both Suzanne & Roman were likable characters & easy to relate to.Was nice to have a female character who knew what she wanted & Went for it without the usual angst.The added little bit of mystery was also entertaining & definitely made the book that little bit differentLooking forward to the next one

Suzanne Sullivan is just a loving and stubborn as the rest of the Sullivan's and when she meets Roman Hudson she thinks he is sexy and handsome and the sparks between them sizzle until she finds out her brothers hired him to be her bodyguard and sparks fly for different reasons. Suzanne is determined to get Roman to leave and does everything she can think of.Roman is drawn to Suzanne unlike anybody he's ever seen and he loves her fiery, stubborn and sexy behaviour and is determined to keep her safe but doesn't expect her to fall for her and doesn't think she deserves him and his hellish past.Loved this set of Sullivan's and can't wait for more from them

It was well written and full of contents. A lot of ups and downs but at the end love conquered everything. Good read.

Another good read from Bella Andre on the Sullivan's. The brothers worry about their sister who runs a prosperous IT company, but the company is being compromised, so they hire her a bodyguard. This causes arguments, but can peace be regained

Loved this was a great part of the series and a wonderful read loved it

I loved this story.I loved Suzanne for being a strong independent and Loving woman.And I can't wait for the next Sullivan story.

Loved this series of books plus the novellas so will continue to purchase further stories.

May the Sullivans keep telling their stories as they are such an interesting family.

great read

I am always surprised at the number of Bella Andre books I've read and they still not only completely hold my interest but actually delight me. This is the second in the New York City "Sullivan" series and once again I devoured it and think it's better than the first. This is Roman and Suzanne's story, they are the latest two who find their other half and wow what a beginning! In this book, Suzanne Sullivan is the only girl in the family and a fabulously successful software engineer (a bit nerdy but doesn't realise how sexy she actually is). She starts getting cyber attacked and hacked, so her brothers hire a bodyguard, Roman Huson, to watch over her....And watch over her he does! Suzanne is the epitome of a strong female who has succeeded in business but doesn't know how to let go. Roman is a protector and he needs to protect Suzanne, especially from himself. I love the interaction between these two from the very beginning. While Roman resembles other alpha males often depicted in similar romances, Suzanne is a one of a kind heroine, and she completely made the book.They immediately feel the sparks and while she's in denial and trying to get him fired, he’s trying to remain professional and not cross the line. Throughout the story you Get relevant updates on the other Sullivan’s and continue to understand how much family means to them all and how strong the bonds of loyalty are. This is another wonderful edition for Bella Andre, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Software developer and super sexy computer geek, Suzanne is loved and over-protected by her brothers. So when she experiences cyber attacks and weird phone calls they get their friend Roman to act as her bodyguard. Trouble is they didn't tell Suzanne....and she is furious!Suzanne wants nothing to do with Roman and plots to get rid of him by getting him to act inappropriately with her to spur her brothers' rage. Only thing is as soon as they get close, she is the one that wants to be 'inappropriate'. After just one kiss they have to admit their white-hot attraction.

I likef this book but i am begining to see the similarities between these books. They tend to follow the same line of thought and it is begining to be predictable. I don't have a thirst for this book like i did her first ones.

GOOD READ

I thought this was an enjoyable story, it was certainly very sweet, had no angst and was extremely easy to read. Unfortunately though it just didn't really work for me, and as much as I liked the two main characters Suzanne and Roman. I just struggled to really become engaged in it. I also never really felt Suzanne and Roman shared any type of connection or even chemistry.Don't get me wrong though, there were things I did like including catching up (even if it is briefly in some cases) with the Sullivan family and this story does feature Smith and Valentina's wedding. Which I loved as they are one of my favourite couples. And I would certainly still recommend this story to others. Especially if you are a fan of this series or the author.
