SAY WHEN, BOOK ONE
He told me to say when, but I can’t. Not with Andrés. It’s so hard to say anything when he’s trailing feather soft kisses down my neck, or when his touch sends hot currents of lust rippling across my skin.
Then there’s the way he smiles and offers soft words of encouragement when I’m creating art, almost like he believes I have talent.
He’s not like any guy I’ve ever met. Not like my ex-fiancé. Not like my father. He’s got me thinking that maybe we can have something more. More than just lust, degradation, and abuse.
And now I’m scared, because that means I’ll have to trust him with more than just my body, but with my heart, too.
Christina Duval
SAY YES, BOOK TWO
Andrés, why can't it be enough that I love you? That I want to spend forever with you. Why must you expect so much more? I'm not ready for marriage and a family. I don’t know if I ever will be.
Christina, I need to know that what I'm putting into this relationship isn't all for nothing. To me, you mean everything. But I won’t be your stepping stone. Because as much as it would kill me, if you refuse to commit to something more, I will walk away.
Will Christina ever be ready? Will Andrés stay or walk? Will their love endure or is it doomed before they even have a chance?
SAY FOREVER, BOOK THREE
Christina
I love Andrés so much, more than anyone I’ve ever loved before, yet there are days when I don’t know if I want to scream, swear, or fall to pieces. We’re trying to plan a future together, but our families won’t leave us alone. What’s worse is I can see Andrés is not happy.
They say love trumps all hurdles, but some days I wonder will “our” love trump “our” hurdles? Then I look into Andrés’s sensual smile and passionate gaze and I fall in love all over again.
Andrés
When I told Christina I would love her forever, I meant every word. The nightmares are back, and I don’t know how to stop them, but I have to be strong for her. This pressure from my family and my job feels like a noose around my neck, but I will do whatever it takes to give Christina the life she deserves. She’s everything to me, and I won’t lose her.
SAY PLEASE, BONUS NOVELLA
Andrés
I meant every word when I told my wife how much I appreciate the way she cares for our son, but no husband should have to fight for attention like a dog begging for table scraps. It’s about time I get some action.
Christina
I’m determined to show Andrés how much he means to me, and a romantic getaway is just what we need to rekindle our passion. But after neglecting him for so long, I hope he doesn’t make me beg for it.

Say When (Something More)
There are no words to express how amazing this book is. However, I will try. Intense romance, trials, conflict, shattered past, and loyalty all in one book. This story is by far Tara's best book. Following Christina and Andrés through their trials and romance had me reading this book in one sitting. I could not put it down. There are no other words good enough to describe this book. I would truly give it more than 5 stars if I could.
Say Yes (Something More)
I was lucky enough to be one of the first to read this amazing book. Say Yes is the second book in the Something More series. The characters are brought to live again in this book as they find themselves in your everyday relationship problems. You will actually feel the love, heartbreak, joy and the need to slap a few of the less likable characters. But without those few unlikable ones, the story just wouldn't be the same. Can't wait for the next book.
Say Forever (Something More)
Say Forever is the perfect ending to the Something More series. Christina finds herself as the victim of a wedding planning take over. Andres is stressed out from his new job. Surprise news puts even more stress that. This book is filled with love, drama, comedy and even some sadness. I love the way this book ended but am sad that the story has ended.
Say Please (Something More)
I'm not sure what words will do this book justice. I've often finished a series and wondered what became of the characters. Tara answered that question with this book for her Something More series. Andres and Christina find themselves in the normal new parent rut. All focus is on their son. Andreas is feeling neglected but understanding when it comes to Christina's attention given to their son. He plans a weekend getaway in hopes of not only finding a summer home, but to re-kindle the flame they had before they became parents. This book reminded me so much of what my husband and I went through after we became parents. Do Andres and Christina find a way to make time for each other? Read this amazing book and find out.

These books were so refreshing. Who said that you couldn't have it all? Christina and Andres showed us that although life throws you some major curve balls, you must remember what makes you happy, and push forward until you reach that happiness. These books had so much romance, sex, love, and emotion. Tara west really had everything in these books. The writing flowed so nicely, and really pulled you in. You got to really feel with this book. Happy, sad, angry... You name it! There was also lots of humor and lessons in these amazing books. I love when I come across books like these!!

Ok for starters you need tissues! Expect to have every dang emotion possible with this book! The story flows so beautifully. In book one our couple meets and slowly fall in love. All 4 books show these two going through so much and the love they share through it all is just wonderful. It is refreshing to see others deal with every day evils that happen in this world and over come it. There is also the right amount of humor. It I a such a refreshing read!

4/5 Stars!! - book one
Danielle Pearl writes a moving story of a girl who wants to be “normal” and the guy she never thought could make her feel that way.
Rory is flawed and complicated and one of the most realistic characters I have read a while. You feel her pain and anxiety through the words on the pages. When Sam comes along, he triggers her pain and discomfort, but it turns out, Sam is flawed, too.
This is a story of finding someone to love you flaws and all!

5 star read! I don't like to leave spoilers so I'll just say that I LOVE this series and definitely recommend it! It's an emotional story. I was happy, sad, mad, frustrated, you name it while reading this series. Christina and Andres overcome so much together. Thank you Tara West for such an amazing story!

This was such a great series. I loved how it was very realistic and not overly done! I was hooked in the beginning of each book and I couldn't wait to find out what happened between Christina and Andres.

A very good series that I will recommend to anyone!! Tara is quite a talented writer and I love all her work.

Alright, I just want to say that this series wasn't really my favorite but a lot of people love it so you should try it out.
I liked the series but it wasn't...WOW for me. Someone else might really enjoy this so I do recommend it.
Book 1, Say When: I liked this book but some things about it just annoyed me. Christina is suppose to be 21 yet she whines and throws tantrums like a 5 year old. She doesn't live her life because she's scared of what her mother will do and say and she has the WORST friend in the world and she realizes that now??? She was bad news from the start. It's not surprising she's acting the way she's acting now.
Book 2, Say Yes: Enjoyed all the little twists in this. Jackson needed to take a breather and back off and Christina's mom was just...I don't understand how there are parents like her out there. Seriously. Say Yes leaves off on a small cliffhanger that could possibly become so much bigger.
Book 3, Say Forever: Kind of liked it. Christina is pregnant and Andrés proposes to her so there's a wedding that's going to happen. Everything flipped from there and the ended was rushed hence the 3 stars. I want to get into detail about this book but I might just talk about the things that annoyed me and this series was good so that just sounds like a bad idea. Someone else might else this more than me though.
Book 3.5, Say Please: A hot, quick novella with Christina and Andrés spending time together after their son's born and taking up all their personal time. Really enjoyed reading this because it's so relatable. If you loved the Something More trilogy, you should definitely read this.
