Everly Brothers #1
Wild Girls Rule
Wild girls get what they want…
After moving to New York City, Hailey Thompson lands a job as the assistant to her older brother’s best friend - and her childhood crush - Andrew Everly. Seeing Andrew again both thrills and terrifies her. The lighthearted boy she remembers has grown into an impossibly handsome man, but he’s also become a cold and ruthless businessman.
When Andrew agrees to hire Hailey as a favor to his childhood friend, he still thinks of her as the fresh-faced girl that he knew growing up. On the contrary, she’s all woman. Temptation in a short skirt. As alluring as she is though, the little beauty is far too flighty for a man like him…not to mention that he’s her boss.
As Andrew secretly struggles with his self-control, Hailey does everything in her power to crack his rigid façade. After being forced to spend a weekend away together on business, Andrew’s rigorously sculpted mask of discipline begins to slip, and Hailey gladly takes advantage of the opportunity to educate him in the ways of seduction. He can claim all he wants that he likes his women elegant and controlled, but Hailey knows a dirty little secret…when it comes to matters of the heart, wild girls rule.

"I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads."
This is a salutary reminder of just how much your parents can **** you up. Poor (emotionally) Andrew has been through the wringer when it comes to bad parenting. His high values (of wealth and power) drummed into him by his father have left him somewhat constipated when it comes to matters of the heart. So when Hailey breezes into his life, it is inevitable that problems will arise.
I enjoyed this read, and felt the inner dialogue worked well. I think the end could have been slower ... if that makes sense! But I am delighted that there is another book or two to come for brothers James and Sam.

Hailey Thompson, is a carefree spirit. She does makes her happy. She moved to New York on a whim. The job she moved from Florida for suddenly disappeared she had no idea what she was going to do. Going back to Florida wasn't an option.
Andrew Everly, runs a very successful publication company. He has big shoes to fill and he takes that very seriously. When he agrees to let his childhood friend's sister work as his assistant he as no idea what he is opening himself up for.
I thought this was going to be the typical forbidden office romance but it turned out to be so much more. I really got into this read! Hailey had such a great personality, at times flighty but it's what made her, her. Andrew is the picture of a business man, but when he let his true self out, he was adorable and totally alpha.
I am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Lario especially the next book in the series which centers around Andrew's brother, James.

Haley Thompson has landed a job in New York thanks to her brother Evan. She will be the assistant to Andrew Everly. He was a childhood friend and Evan ask if he could give Haley a job, since she lost hers and really needed a job. She feels an instant attraction to Andrew. She had always had a crush on him when she was little. Now he is one handsome man, but he is also her boss. She had to go with Andrew to Atlantic City on a business trip. She went out for a drink because she was bored. She ran into Andrew in the bar. He was drinking because his investor withdrew the money for his expansion. He was a little drunk and Haley took advantage of the situation to seduce Andrew, but he didn't mind. He wanted her as much as she wanted him. This book is not for everyone because it does contain a lot of explicit sexual scenes. The story is good and if you like heated romance this one is for you

This was a gripping and at times emotional and intense read! I really enjoyed it and I loved the characters even if I did want to slap Andrew more then once for being an absolute idiot! I could kinda understand his fear though although I could see that Hailey was a different case from his mother and what happened with his mother was never gonna happen with Hailey.
I was glad with how things worked out and I hope we get updates on how they're doing in the other brothers books! He may have denied it for a long time but Hailey was exactly what Andrew needed in his life and I'd say he's what she needs as well! Totally different but they work so well together!

Wow! Just Wow! This has to be one of the very best Romance books I have read. The brothers best friend/boss scenario was uniquely written with a fresh and untainted quality that kept the reader hooked on every single page. I don't apologise for being a book-whore and this book is an exemplary example of the reason why. Andrew and Hailey were deliciously different. Andrew stiff and regimented in his work and life. Hailey was a sparkle of sunshine that shone from her inside out, her spontaneous nature drew affection from other characters as well as from myself! The attraction boiled from moment one - firstly appearing one sided until Hailey proved to be too tempting to ignore and then too consuming and addictive to give up until.... The writer has really honed the skill of living and breathing her characters and her love of them encourages the reader to do the same. Multi-dimensional the plot, characters and creativeness excels to make the reading experience sublime and thrilling. Sad to get to the end of the book but just gagging to download the series so I can fall just a little bit more in love with the Everly brothers!

HAWT Love & Togetherness!
Andrew Everly and Hailey Thompson have known each other from a very young age. While he has always look at her as a little annoying girl who hadn't grown into her weird body, he wasn't prepared for the grown up Hailey that he agreed to employ as a favor to his childhood best friend and her brother.
Hailey grew up to be a bit wild and on the whim. She moved to New York and found herself out of a job and with no where to turn. So allowing her brother to do her a favor by asking a childhood friend to give her a job was just another thing she had to suck up in order to avoid running back home to Florida.
Little did she know that the childhood attraction that was there when she was 10, would hit her with a vengence. And she put the plan in motion to get Andrew to loosen up.
This book was a fun read and it dealt with the journey about finding love.
I did give the book 5 stars because I enjoyed the chemistry between Andrew & Hailey. They complimented each other and their scenes were steamy...
The problem I did have was that there was an additional person that was rarely mentioned, and the father seemed to have more of an issue than the woman.
The family love that is shown within the book is also great. The tough issue of bipolar disorder is touched on and it shows how they all are affected by it.

I was kindly provided with an ARC for an honest review. So here it goes.....
Wow, this is something different from Rosalie but in a positive sense !!!. I am VERY familiar (I LOVE THEM ALL) with Rosalie's paranormal romance books. This series Everly Brothers is what I would describe as being from the general romance genre, and (wait for it ) I couldn't get enough !!!.
This is Hailey and Andrew's story and what a introduction to the series..... Shes the childhood friend whose crushed on her brother's BF forever and after years apart she's back in his world again. Except he's not so much Mr Nice guy anymore. More like Mr Ruthless business dude.
Andrew is jaded, having to deal with being a multi-mogul and his take no crap, No ladies are gettin' a permanent piece of me veneer cracks when he see's Hailey again. I was muttering to myself reading this book, willing their romance on and I was not disappointed with the outcome.
I will choke down telling you more. I just need to say GET CLICKING YOUR BUY NOW AND YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE EVERLY BROS WORLD. Works for me.
5 brotherly love stars.
Well done Rosalie x

Full review found on Book Lovin' Mamas
I loved every bit of this story and look forward to reading the other Everly brothers stories. The other brothers are definitely different from Andrew, so I look forward to reading what Rosalie puts them through. (At least which female characters win over their hearts)
I give this book 5 full moons and highly recommend it to contemporary romance readers out there. A book that includes an old crush and a woman who is determined to win over that old HOT crush by using her wild, sexy charm. =)

Haileys first day working for Andrews went swell I'd say, "his crotch.” Hailey’s cheeks blazed at the recollection. “Yep, I gave my boss an unintentional penile rub-down on my first day of work. In front of one of his investors." Andrew doesn't know what to make of this new Hailey and it's funny, "of course not. Go ahead.” Because what else could he say? No, because every time I see your luscious little a** in one of those tiny skirts I get a massive hard-on." Andrew is a tad slow in the mornings, "and finally there was Hailey, naked and glorious as she rode him with wild abandon." I liked this book Andrew needed to figure out what he needed because at times the boy gave me whiplash.

Sexy read!
Resistance is futile should be the mantra of this sexy story. Andrew is stubbornly refusing to "do the inappropriate things" while wild girl Hailey is trying her damnedest to get him to be a more adventurous version of himself. He has never let go of the past family hurts or his father's dream of company expansion. One night with Hailey and he slowly gets addicted to her and her body. She doesn't want to fall either as she had a childhood crush on him when they were much younger and knows he is out of her league. Love that he has to win her back before their happy ending.

A cute story! Andrew Everly is CEO of a successful publishing company, he's lived for years in the shadow of his father's legacy and trying to live up to those expectations, in a twist of fate he offers a job to his childhood friend's baby sister Hailey Thompson who turns his world upside down and changes the way he views the world.
This was a sweet story, childhood friends find each other again... I enjoyed it but it just lacked some depth for my liking, a solid 3 star middle of the road rating from me.

Wow! Where do I begin? Rosalie Lario's latest story blew me away! I loved it from the beginning and it only kept getting better as it went on. I found myself unable to put the book down once I got started and fully engrossed. I loved the characters of Andrew and Hailey. This story made me laugh out loud and cry. I was cheering for the couple to finally declare their love for one another and so happy when they finally did. Kudos, Rosalie! I am SO looking forward to the next book in the series

Andrew is just doing a favor to his childhood friend, to help out when Hailey needs a temporary job to keep afloat for a while. What he didn´t expect was his reaction to Hailey, now all grown up, and all woman.
Hailey had a crush on Andrew, and seeing him again all these years later brings back all the feelings. But Andrew doesn´t want anything lasting, can Hailey accept it, or will she fall for him?
Contemporary romance, smutty fluff and feelings in a great combo.

this book was a cute light read. I did love the h free spirited nature, but also made her seem too young and immature. I will read the rest of the series.....but only if it's free.

First read of Rosalie's and I have to say I'm hooked!
Loved all the characters and love where the story is going...
I was the one on the couch reading, unable to look away, whilst hubby tried to chat with me.

I love the really hot sex this book has. The story of a straightened, chunky, alpha business man and a go with the flow girl is a wonderful treat for anyone. To watch this wild girl make the starightlaced guy chill was something to read.
