Never Too Much
Awwwww, Benito! This is the fourth book in this series about the Bianchi family. Honestly, I loved this book the most I think. I laughed so hard in many places throughout this book, but I also swooned a lot and probably sobbed even more while reading this book. So. Many. Feels. An absolute must read!! Get ready to fall in love with Willow & Benito — and the entire Bianchi family/community in Star Falls. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 star Review Never Too Much (Star Falls #4) by Chelle Bliss
Audio/eBook:
It was great to be back in Star Falls for . Benito Bianchi and Willow Watkins’ story. I love stories set in small towns and I could easily imagine Star Falls whilst reading.
From the first chapter to the last I was riveted to the story that Chelle Bliss wove. Not only are the characters easy to relate too but you cannot help but become involved.
The narration by Lance Greenfield & Samantha Brentmoor was spot on. They brought the fabulous story and characters to life with their performances and I found myself listening well into the night. Their voices are easy to listen to and did justice to the story Ms. Bliss wove
I love the Bianchi family. They are a hoot and all up in one another’s business. I loved this book from the first chapter to the last . It was well written and entertaining.

Ohhh gosh! I loved this story. This little town has so much love and laughs. Benny and Willow are the epitome of forbidden. She is here to build a restaurant and he owns the best restaurant in town. I found all of their struggles to be so honest and tricky to navigate. It led to some hard conversations and the way it was written was perfection. Loved the age gap and how much they care for each other. I really thought this story would end another way… thought I had it figured out but Chelle continues to keep me guessing.

This one was a 3.5 star for me. I didn’t fall in love with the characters or story the same way I usually do with Chelle’s books.
It was very mundane and lacked excitement and stakes to keep me engrossed in the story.
I think if you want something sweet, heartfelt, with two workaholics finding love for the first time and an age gap where shes older, this might just be the book for you.
It just wasn’t for me 🤷🏼♀️

Benito’s story is book four in the Blue Star Falls Series. He’s the baby of the family who owns and runs the towns popular restaurant. The most sought after bachelor, he doesn’t have time for relationship’s, until a one night stand he meets in his restaurant - Willow. She’s new to town and is looking for one night hook up. Lucky for her she meets a sexy older food delivery guy she just met at the restaurant where she raved about how good the food was she had. What she later learns her hook up is also her new neighbor.
A favorite in the book was his mom and her concerns about his dad going to the doctor out of town. They think something is going on with his health. His mom wants Benito to find out what’s going on. When he learns why his dad is going to doctor had me cracking up. 😂
Tropes: small town, enemies to lovers, and age gap.

Excellence served up right!
Benito and Willow are the perfect ending to a wonderful series! Their struggles and passion are sprinkled in just the right amount to keep you turning the pages.
Chelle has taken the best parts of her Inked family series and shared them with the Bianci family.
With Benny, she gives you a passion for food as well. With Willow, you get an adventurous spirit. And together, they give you love and joy!
Thanks Chelle for another amazing journey with another wonderful family!

Benito Bianchi owns the most popular restaurant in Star Falls., Benito's. He loves cooking and loves his family. However, cooking and running the restaurant doesn't leave him with much of a personal life.
Benny doesn't know how much cash his restaurant takes in. He doesn't know what's going out the door. He doesn't have time to do the books and take care of the 'office' things. He wants to cook and make people happy while they eat. Benny needs an office supervisor to look over everything on the business side.
Willow Watkins usually stays in a location a year at the most. She works for a restaurant business that opens new businesses, and works with ones that need help applying for Small Business loans, to get a new roof, to do updates to the restaurant.
Willow & Benny start seeing each other and as luck would have it Willow is renting the place right next to Benny's. Any time after they get home they see each other. Willow is about 9yrs older than Benny, and she thinks things will just sizzle out between them. However, Benny knows he fell for the right woman with Willow. He can't stop thinking about her, when all he usually thinks about is the restaurant and food.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.

Never Too Much is most definitely my fave of the Star Falls series! I've been very curious about Benito Bianchi, the hard-working restauranteur who is the clear player in his tight-knit family and what made him tick. Chelle Bliss does a great job with keeping Benny true to himself as a stubborn and proud owner, not to mention somewhat hard-headed Italian (which I can totally relate to as one myself) whose world is rocked by a one-night stand by the name of Willow Watkins. I could tell that right from the start these two would find in the other their 'mirror image' so to speak and perhaps also find the happily ever after they never even thought twice about.
There is something just so right about this latest adventure with the Bianchi family that I couldn't look away from. Bliss finds her perfect rhythm in telling this story of two commitment-phobic people who love their jobs and truly have no time for anything but a casual kind of relationship. Willow's one-year rule where she switches out projects and cities after 12 months is happily thrown off course when the charm of Star Falls and its resident hottie chef give her pause to perhaps stay put for more time than she is used to. She and Benny have wildly steamy encounters that lead to many nights in each other's arms and pillow talk that neither had ever had before. With the Bianchi family providing plenty of good-natured humor and plenty of surprises (hello, empty nesters! lol) there was no way Willow could walk away from the first home she felt she had found in her 40+ years. And Benny certainly wasn't letting her go anytime soon.
The age gap btw Benny and Willow only adds to the chemistry these two have and I loved how Benny would kid Willow about being a cougar. It didn't matter how many years were between them, they simply fit. Willow became the sounding board Benny needed as he was floundering with restaurant paperwork and I was glad to see him finally see the light where his right-hand person in Mags was concerned.
Willow's high-powered job may have brought her to Star Falls to open up a breakfast cafe but it was the true sense of finally belonging she felt that ultimately had her throwing away her one-year rule happily. Benito with all his bravado and willful ways became exactly what a woman like Willow both needed and wanted and I was completely in love with their love every step of the way.
A sigh-worthy, passionate and very witty book, Never Too Much is exactly the right kind of love story to close out this summer of wonderful reading.
5 big stars!

I am sorry that this series had to come to an end but I have looked forward to getting Benito's story for a while. Throughout this series, Benito has not had a large role and has been just a blip in the previous books of the series so getting his story was like saving the best for last.
In this installment, Benito is struggling with his role in life. He is a successful chef and restaurant owner but wants to handle everything himself. He sees his siblings in successful relationships and children but is unsure if that is what he wants in life. At the same time he has an employee that has been loyal to him but keeps making mistakes with their work relationship and his inability to ask for more help.
Meanwhile, Willow comes to Star Falls for work which happens to be starting a new restaurant in town and work with local businesses on improving their existing restaurants with a great program. She has a chance first meeting that turned into one HOT night with Benito only to later become his neighbor. She starts her relationship with it being only temporary since she doesn't stay long in places and is constantly on the move for work but as she continues her relationship with Benito, she starts to reflect on her life and what she wants her future to be.
This book was a great read. The characters were relatable and well written and that's before we talk about their chemistry together. I enjoyed the return of the characters from previous books in the series even if they were small appearances. I listened to the audio version of the book and the narrators did a great job performing this story and bringing it to life. I am just sorry that the series has come to an end. Overall, this was a great read that I would recommend to others.

We are back in Star Falls, and I loved every second of it. Never Too Much is the fourth and final book in the Star Falls series and follows Benito and Willow's journey to love. Benito owns an Italian restaurant and is the last single Bianchi sibling. Although he is the most sought-after bachelor, he prefers to focus on work, not love. Enter Willow. She never stays anywhere too long and plans to be in Star Falls temporarily for work. When Benito and Willow meet, their attraction to each other is undeniable and hard to ignore. What was intended to be a one-night situation turned into something special for them both.
I loved Benito and Willow together. They had amazing chemistry, fun banter, and knew how to heat things up. I love the Bianchi family! They always provide the laughs. The family welcomed Willow with open arms and gave her the sense of home she desperately needed. Seeing this series end is bittersweet, but Benito getting his HEA is the perfect way to wrap things up.
Narration:
Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield performed the dual narration for this story. Their performances were fantastic, and they were the perfect voices for Willow and Benito. Samantha and Lance portrayed the characters' personalities well and brought them to life. They did a wonderful job with the banter, heartfelt moments, and steamy scenes.
Thanks to Chelle Bliss and Valentine PR for the e-ARC. Opinions expressed are my own.

This is book 4 in the Star Falls series and while it can be read as a standalone, I would absolutely read the previous books before reading this one. Benito Bianchi owns the most popular restaurant in Star Falls. He’s never had time for relationships, preferring to be the most sought-after bachelor in town. But when a beautiful woman moves next door, Benito can’t keep his hands to himself. Willow Watkins never stays in one place too long. She’s committed to her career and doesn’t want the complications of a relationship. But when she moves next door to a handsome chef, she can’t stop herself from getting a little too close. But there’s a problem…Willow’s company is Benito’s new competition.
This is a reverse age gap book and while I wasn't expecting that-it definitely works! Benny and Willow have the spice I love in this author's books, but they also have a genuine connection that made the whole book for me. I loved Benito's character in the previous books, and I was definitely looking forward to his own story. He is still this sweet and kind man at heart, with a spicy side I didn't see coming. But beyond that-he just genuinely loves his life. Willow has been through a lot in her life and it has made her hesitant for some things. But when her and Benny come together? They both figure out that they are exactly what the other needs to complete them. And I loved how it all played out!

If you are wanting a spicier Chelle Bliss book then this will be the one for you. I was surprised when I was reading it because while her other books do have some spice, its usually nothing like this. With this book we get Benito who is a restaurant owner/chef and Willow who works more on the paperwork side of the restaurant business. I thought it was so cute to see how much food meant to both of their lives. We get insta-lust to dislike to lovers, but to me her being his competition did not last long at all. And really the dislike was one sided only for a little bit.
Willow had a sadder backstory that has made her not want to settle down so she moves every year. Benito had the best childhood with loving parents and siblings that he is still really close to today, yet he also doesn't want to settle down. I loved seeing how much both of these characters only wanted a hook up and then we get to see them both slowly start seeing each other as more.
This would have been a 4 star book but to me the ending just wasn't that good. The epilogue kind of just summarized what the last couple of chapters were leading to. Then said that plan didn't work so this happened instead and then jumped to a year from the ending. Wasn't the biggest fan of that.

So happy to be back in Star Falls and with Benito’s story, Never Too Much by Chelle Bliss. I know from the very beginning I was welcomed back into the Bianchi family. Chelle I adore how family values run deep throughout your stories!
Benito is a busy hardworking restaurant owner operator. As you can imagine running a highly successful restaurant there isn’t much time for anything else in Benito’s life.
Work brings Willow to Star Falls and into Benny’s life. Never one to stick around long term, can Benny, his family and Star Falls convince Willow to stay and enjoy happiness together.
The chemistry between Benny and Willow shows in the fun flirty banter and spice they share.
One of my favourite scenes is the cheeky moment Willow is introduced to Ma and Pops Bianchi!
The seamless transition between all the characters and their personalities shone through in the performances from Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield. Samantha your male voice is top tier! I really did feel like I was back in Star Falls with family.
Thank you Chelle for another fabulous series. I am sad to say goodbye to the Bianchi family and Star Falls. Look forward to what you have in store for us in the future.

**Audiobook Review**
I have been waiting for the youngest Bianchi sibling to have his story and I enjoyed it so much. “Never Too Much” is a steamy, heartfelt and romantic age gap, small town romance that wrapped up the series beautifully.
I loved how Benito and Willow first meet at his restaurant during a stormy day and how they didn’t know who each other was in the beginning. The chemistry was hot from the first meet and grew more intense as they spent time together. Benito is the youngest and had success as a chef and owning his own restaurant. I love how close he is with his family and how supportive they are of each other. Willow is an independent woman who doesn't like to stay in one place for too long but with that, she has a job that helps people with their culinary dreams. She has had some trust issues since she was younger but slowly finds her place in Star Falls. They might have started out temporarily together but these two were meant to be. The ending was so perfect and I loved how this series ended.
Lance Greenfield and Samantha Brentmoor narrated this audio and they were amazing. Lance brought the caring and confident Benito alive perfectly. I loved listening to Samantha as Willow, her narration was genuine and smart just like her.

Chelle Bliss has a beautiful knack for making her found families feel like coming home, and the Bianchi's and Star Falls are no different. Never Too Much is the fourth and final book in the Star Falls series, and yes, it does feel like coming home. Benito is the youngest of the Bianchi siblings and is always too busy for anything but his beloved restaurant. That is, until he meets Willow, a woman with childhood trauma who never stays in one place for more than a year. Work brings her to Star Falls, and it comes with her usual time limit. The instant chemistry Benny and Willow have, their entertaining banter, and their spicy moments together make them one of my favorites of the series. It's the welcoming Bianchi family as well. The patriarchs, Mario and Lucia (although make sure you call first before coming over), and Benny's siblings and their families. No one is a stranger, and everyone is welcomed home, whether it's a potential partner or a friend. That's what makes these stories so good and so special.
"...if I've learned anything over the past few years, it's that there is no me without the people I love."

I was so excited and looking forward to reading Benito’s book.
And Ms. Bliss did not disappoint!
Benny is a hard working restaurant owner. He loves cooking and enjoys making people happy with his food. He has a tight knit family. Where there is so much unconditional love.
With the love of family and his restaurant he doesn’t have a personal life. Aka he doesn’t date.
Willow comes to Star Falls and has plans on leaving within her one year timeline.
She bounces around from place to place. Never staying longer than a year.
I loved the banter between her and Benny. Their conversations and back and forth was entertaining.
Their chemistry absolutely explosive. Their physical interactions are hot and sexy.
While I usually don’t prefer reverse age gap relationships. These two were the exception.
They just clicked for me. The perfect match for each other. Just adored both of them.
I appreciate how the author combines a close knit family, a beautiful romance and wonderful characters.
But what I absolutely love is how she also creates heartwarming and soul soothing found families for the characters as well.
**4.5 stars**

Never Too Much returns readers to Star Falls and the tight-knit Bianchi family for youngest and last man standing Benito's story.
And what a delightful fun story it is.
As thirty-one-year-old Benito works hard. As sole owner and chef of Benito's restaurant. But he likes to play hard too. Only he's clear that he's married to his restaurant and any relationship is short term.
Which works out perfectly when he meets forty-two-year-old Willow who has spent her life moving from one location to another never staying longer than a year. But just long enough to make friends, help a business get off the ground and maybe have a little fun. Which is ideal when it comes to Benito.
Only the pair can't get enough of each other and start to really open up about their lives and struggles and realise that although they come from vastly different backgrounds they are perfect for each other.
If only this commitment-phobe couple can take the leap and admit it.
And with plenty of small town and family feels, humour and sweetness. Not to mention spice! This was a truly enchanting read. That I would happily recommend to all.

This is a much loved series for me and I’m pleased to say this last book for the siblings was really good. Benito is a larger than life character with a massive ego and a heart of gold. His life is his restaurant and up to this point nothing has been able to distract him for more than a night. Along comes Willow and everything soon changes. Willow is only around for a specific length of time and definitely isn’t looking for a long term commitment. It’s always fun to watch to commitment shy people fall hard for each other. They have red hot chemistry and there’s an abundance of spice in this story, these two certainly know how to burn up the sheets together. It’s still a very family oriented story and lots of page time with the Bianchi family. Gotta love anytime the parents are on the page! The story itself is interesting and full of twists and turns, abit of drama sprinkled in but not overdone.
I really enjoy anytime we visit this family and I’m sad this is the last of the siblings but I’ll definitely be going back and rereading this series in the future.

This is story number 4 from Star Falls series. A unique way to write a beautiful love story. Amazing characters within these pages. Benito and Willow are set in their ways of life until!!!! Willow is a new face in Star Falls so she is noticed by many. In town for business for only a year her rules lol. She meets Benito at his restaurant. She thinks he is just an errand boy, not the owner. Sparks ignite instantly emotionally and physically. Neither of them had felt this before. Enjoying a hot night they soon find out who each other actual is. There is a strong connection neither wants to end. They are finding more reasons to be together then apart. Still fighting the feelings this was only for fun. Business and pleasure are most definitely mixing!!! Finding what each other didn't know they were waiting for LOVE. Love for another person not just love for business personal or professional. Willow is now setting down roots. Benito is growing and letting others help him. Perfect match these two make. Never to Much for Love.

Benny & Willow
What a fantastic story!! I've highly enjoyed this series, getting to know this family & the town of Star Falls. Benito has been a beloved character from the beginning, even as he's had to breeze in & out of scenes while running his restaurant.
His & Willow's HEA is the perfect end to this series. They start out with an expiration date, but of course, that gets tossed out the window as their relationship deepens. 😁 They bring a lot of 🔥🔥🔥, banter, & fun to their story, too!
I love the way they meet & the connection they forge. I love how their love of food plays in. And I ADORE the way things progress!
Benny is such a powerhouse. His heart is so big, but he gets lost in his head and thinks he has to keep everything afloat himself, or he's failed. Willow helps him see that asking for/accepting help from the ppl who love him isn't failing. And he helps Willow see that she CAN put down roots & maintain who she is.
Fabulous resolutions in their story & I love their HEA lots!

Audio/eBook Review:
I love my visits to Star Falls and I’ve been patiently waiting for Benito’s story because I knew it was going to take a very special lady to win this man’s heart. Never Too Much is book 4 in the series and it’s the final book that really was a bittersweet read because I believe Ms Bliss left the best for last.
Lance Greenfield & Samantha Brentmoor did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their story to life. They hit all the emotions, the passion and the banter that flows through this book.
Benito is all about his running his successful restaurant business and he thought he was happy with his life until one rainy night Willow walked into his place. What follows is an entertaining read as two lonely souls find comfort in each other.
This is a love story about a couple who never realised they needed each other until that night and to me this is the best book in the Star Falls Series. This is a beautifully written love story with wonderful characters, it’s hot, it’s swoon worthy, it’s witty and it’s adorable.

Like all of Ms. Bliss's books I really enjoyed this one.
Benito is the youngest of the Bianchi siblings and owns his own restaurant, which causes him to always be busy. If with being so busy Benito (Benny) always makes time for his family and some time to have a little fun. What happens when he meets a women that brings out something else in him?
Willow is never wanting to stay in one place for long because of childhood trauma. She is just as committed to her work as Benito is but she is on the other side of owning a restaurant and that is the paperwork side. What happens when she crosses a line before knowing about it?
The chemistry between these two is hotter than it is in the kitchen. However, will they be able to get past the part of them technically being enemies because of work?
Being able to read more about the whole Bianchi family was a good way to wrap of this series. I can't wait for more of Ms. Bliss's books.

Benito Bianchi has two loves his restaurant and his family. There were times in the first three books in this series I would get irritated with him because he seemed to put his restaurant over his family. Especially with family dinners where he came right on time and left sometimes before the meal was over. But he is so much more than I first anticipated.
Benito doesn’t have time for anything but his restaurant and his family. He tirelessly works to make that restaurant to success and never let themselves get tied to any one woman. Enter Willow Watkins. She doesn’t let herself to get attached to anyone because she’s always moving from one place to another. When they need each other and sparks fly, all bets are off.
She tells a story that draws you in to the characters and lets us see some different sides we haven’t seen before. A great love story with some twist that just leave you smiling! I will definitely be reading again.

I love spending time with the Bianchi family and Never Too Much, book four in the Star Falls series brought them all together again and this time it is Benito Bianchi time in the spotlight. He is an amazing chef and hisrestaurant is his life until Willow Watkins comes to Star Falls and shakes up his whole world and I loved being along for the ride as he finally falls and falls hard for this amazing woman.
Willow lives a bit of a nomad life only spending a year at most in any location. Star Falls, however, feels different especially when Benito is involved.
These two have something special. They definitely have a connection and both bring out the best in the other, but that doesn’t mean there are not a few bumps in the road for them both but in the end love won out and I was thrilled to see them find their happily ever after!

Never Too Much is a story about compromise and learning about yourself along with ultimately falling in love. Two people that were head strong about how their lives should be find that a one night stand might just be the downfall of their original plans. Benito and Willow's story at times had me on the edge of my seat and my anxieties running high, however the chemistry and connection between them radiated from every page. Their story was about not only listening to your heart, your mind and also the people around you. It was about taking chances in every possible way and falling hard when you least expected it. This story was about family and friends that you call family giving you the support and direction you sometimes need. A beautiful love story that steals your heart so easily and is also scorching hot.

Oh my word. I need a fan. Benito has always heated up the kitchen in Star Falls. In Never Too Much, Benito is heating up the bedroom. I finally understand the idea of "never too much sex" in a book. I am sorry to see the Star Falls series end, but Benito's story is the perfect ending.
Benito is struggling. Benito is about to crash and burn. Benito needs something but doesn't know what. Willow is everything he didn't know he wanted. With Benito, you never know what will happen.
The unexpected made for a great story. Benito is a drama factory all on his own. Add a relationship phobic Willow into the equation and drama jumps off the pages. Benito and Willow might have some interesting days dealing with life. They find the perfect escape in the bedroom, the shower..... What a way to get lost in a story.
