I enjoyed this story! Though it's the romance between Chantal, burlesque business owner and Zane, Aussie footballer, it's also an introduction to Zane's 3 brothers as Zane makes his way to the United States to meet his estranged father and siblings. I liked Chantal's strong, independent character. She's in a line of work that many people disparage as the owner of a dance club, but she's made it a profitable business and one she is proud of, no matter what other people think. Zane is equally interesting as a strong and handsome sportsman who finds Chantal attractive, smart and fun to be with. Together they share some explosive sexual chemistry, though Zane is determined to treat Chantal better than a one-night stand. Personally I would have been happier without the "Insta-Love" professions after such a short time together, as I think it's reasonable to have a romance where the couple likes each other but doesn't fall madly in love right away. Besides the relationship between Chantal and Zane, I really enjoyed all three of Zane's brothers as they were portrayed in the story. They all have a unique character and the scenes with them were fun and interesting. I'm looking forward to more stories in the series that will feature them! 4 stars.

Loved It!!!!!
So Nicola Marsh has done it again and made an awesome contribution to the Bombshells series.
I loved Chantal she was feisty with a little shyness and indecision thrown in. Her back story is bleak and she rises above all that to make a success out of her life and her business. As the owner of Burlesque Bombshells she is most interesting, and I loved getting to know her and see her fall for the Hot as Zane.
Zane has left Australia to make contact with his long lost father and his two brothers. He has much to overcome and we get his story from his point of view. I liked that Zane was over all the womanising and wanted to get back into a normal life and change his ways. I loved his meeting with his brothers that was fun to read.
The sexy scenes between Zane and Chantal are short but pack a punch, and their chemistry is explosive.
Although the story as a whole is unresolved, I believe and I hope we will get some answers in the upcoming stories of Zanes brothers Wyatt, Steele and Kurt.
All up a great addition to the series. I will most definitely be continuing on with this much loved series. Next up Wyatt's story!!!!!

One word: FABTABULOUS!!!!! This is a love story, yes a love story you will not want to miss. Ms. Marsh, you did it again! Once I got the book downloaded to my iPhone, I could not put it down!
This is a story about two people that have one thing in common: growing up without a father. Chantal's mother never told Chantal's father she was pregnant. She did not tell Chantal about him until she was eighteen years old. Chantal and her father now have a nice relationship. He now lives in New York City. They talk and Skype often. Zane's mother told her sons that their father died. Lie! He is very much alive. When Zane was a still a baby, his father just took off and moved to America, where he remarried, and had two more kids. Zane, and his brother Steele, have two half brothers, Wyatt, and Kurt, which you will also meet in this book, and just are just as interesting as Zane. Yes, there are future books coming about all of the brothers (Yippeeeeee!). Zane's father is a bit of a butthole. Zane comes to America to meet and get to know his family. He meets Chantal when a friend of hers asks her to show Zane around Las Vegas. Their attraction to each other skyrockets as soon as they meet, and their feelings for each other develop quickly. Chantal goes with Zane to California to meet his father. However, he takes an instant dislike to Chantal. I love Chantal break off her relationship with Zane because she realizes that she does not want to get between Zane and his father. I am not going to describe the story any further.
Ms. Marsh does a phenomenal job writing this book. The characters development is done so well that you really get to know them and care what happens to them. I cannot wait to read about the rest of the brothers. If they are even half as great as this one, Ms. Marsh will have four more hit!
Ms. Marsh thank you for the ARC, I REALLY enjoyed the book!
Thank you for reading my review. Go buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

Chantal Kramer and Zane Harrison are both witnesses at their friends wedding. They feel an immediate attraction, but Zane wants to take it slow. He likes and cares for Chantal and wants to treat her right. They have more in common than physical desire. Both have grown up without fathers. They know the pain of abandonment. Where will this relationship go? Zane wants to forge a relationship with his "other" family. His father dislikes Chantal and disrespects her. Can the Auzzie footballer and the successful owner of Burlesque Bombshells find happiness together? Nicola Marsh has written characters that are real. I understood what they felt. Their insecurities drew me to them, but can they withstand the disapproval of others? I wanted Chantal and Zane to realize that the loved each other. The secondary characters were powerful and added to the story. I definitely want to know more about them. Christopher Harrison may have four sons but he cares only for himself. I was glad that his boys are stronger and more caring than their father. I'm looking forward to future books in this series. I'm hooked by Nicola Marsh's Bombshells series.

Nicola Marsh is an excellent storyteller and I've always said how amazing it is that she can create a full, exciting story in such a short book. However, this time around I felt like the book was just a little too short.
I loved the story and enjoyed the characters immensely, but I would have liked just a little bit more. The romance felt a little rushed, but I still loved how Zane and Chantal interacted with each other. My only problem was that neither really had a backstory that captivated me. Zane's was the more interesting one but I think Chantal could have had a little more substance to her story.
Overall the story was fun and the characters were entertaining. This book is a nice addition to the series and I have to say I'm super excited to read about the other Harrison boys.

This was probably the most believable instalment of the series...
Although I loved the other stories, this one seemed to be a bit more grown up, it still felt a bit rushed, but Zane and Chantal were more relatable as characters and it's definitely my favourite so far...
I would have liked the books to be a bit longer, draw out the story, take time to get to know the characters better, also there's the price factor... a bundle deal would have been awesome and I think Nicola would get a lot more sales, but nevertheless I find myself giving this this 4.5 stars... it's a lovely read and I'll be keeping an eye out for Wyatt's story too ;)

Chantal and Zane both grew up with no father and both having secrets. A one night stand was all it was suppose to be but something fate and love got in the way
