His Ex's Little Sister: Insta-Love On The Run Book 1
By Bella Love-Wins

Reid and Robin.......

His Ex's Little Sister was a short, steamy, insta-love romance. Well it was insta-love for Reid however it took Robin a bit longer to get on board, lol.

Reid has a brief, past history with Robin's older sister. Without going into details I'll tell you Robin did not like Reid. In fact, she hated him with a passion!

There is a bit of suspense going on in the background. Reid and Robin take some time before they get together but their attraction and chemistry doesn't let that go on for too long.

I enjoyed the suspense aspect. I feel it gave this short story some complexity. Unfortunately it took me most of the book to warm up to Robin. Because I didn't like her much, I did not have a connection to her character. That said, I liked Reid a lot. Despite Robin's opinions he was a good guy.

To sum it up, I enjoyed reading this book. I thought the writing flowed nicely with a steady pace. The story was short and sweet and just what I was in the mood for.

My review is honest and unbiased and I thank you for taking the time to read it.

This was really unrealistic, but I was still entertained, so that is all that mattered to me. You kind of had an idea of what was going to happen from the beginning, with the story line of her sister, but I guess we had to wait til the end. I always enjoy a story line of military guys who are friends and start a business together, so I look forward to reading more about the group and to read about Reid and Robins relationship.

This girl's is amazing and each new book just comes to reiterate that.
Every book is always an adventure in a world of desire, love and HEA.
Bella Love-Wins has a simple, hot, intense and sassy writing that can make you blush in a sec. Trust me.
His Ex's Little Sister is her latest release and tells the stories of Reid and Robin.
And with a tittle like this what crosses your mind? I can't tell you what's on mine...
Reid opted for join the army in order to escape his broken home and miserable life. He has seen a lot in every tour and after 9 years he returns home.
On a night out there is an instant attraction to a beautiful girl that he couldn't imagine who she was...
Robin can't imagine that the guy that had broken her sister's heart is back into her life. She's a sweet girl and very stubborn as well.
The worst thing is that she feels attracted to him but what will happen?
Can she forget and move on? Can he fight his feelings?
And like I suspected I love this book.
It's was hot, spicy, raw and intense. I loved that she was so stubborn and loyal to her family and loved that he was cocky and full of himself.
The plot was amazing and the interaction between the characters was funny and intense.
The hot scenes are there and so good...
I know that this amazing author has more book up her sleeve and I'll be here waiting for them.
Right Bella Love-Wins? Will I wait for too long?

His Ex's Little Sister by Bella Love-Wins is a great read. This very sexy and steamy story will keep you entertained. This Insta-love romance is a fast paced taboo tale of the instant attraction between a man that has returned from the Army to have a chance encounter with a singer. Although they share a sizzling attraction; their romance is off to a rocky start when they realize she is the younger sister of the girl he dumped nine years ago when he joined the Army. I'm a fan of Bella Love-Wins and this book is another wonderful release from her. I highly recommend this for romance fans.

Reid is back home in Las Vegas with a few of his military buddies & has started a private security business with them. Robin is a young country singer trying to make a name for herself by singing in small country bars around Las Vegas. Reid & Robin have a history -- Reid dated Robin's older sister in high school & when he left for boot camp he didn't even say good-bye. When Reid spots Robin singing in his regular watering hole, he is taken by her red hair, curvy body & beautiful singing. Reid doesn't realize who she is but Robin is all too aware of who Reid is. After several heated confrontations, it is obvious that the two are attracted to one another & Reid picks up on Robin's non-verbal body language is not backing down. When an ex of Robin enters the bar & tries to make a scene, Reid's protective nature kick in. And it is a good thing because the ex goes out of his way to try & hurt Robin but Reid is there to save her. But when Reid finally understands why Robin is so angry about the past, Reid shares his side of the story & now Robin has to re-evaluate what she thought was the truth.

This was a fun short story by Bella Love-Wins. The characters are believable & the story is just long enough that there is a good back to story to what is currently happening. The book is full of sassy & cockiness from Robin & Reid but it is when they begin to learn the truth about what happened all those years ago that healing is able to start. This book is meant for mature readers.

3.8 stars

Please don't get me wrong I really enjoyed this book. The characters jumped at me at first and then kind of fizzled out.
The sex was there and gone in a blink.
The drama was engaging but still something felt off in this book.
Quick summers read.
The blurb caught me to be honest but the book not so much.

Happy Sexy Reading

This Is a short, steamy, erotic novella by Bella Love-Wins about an ex-military man Reid, and his ex-girlfriend’s little sister, Robin. The interactions between Reid and Robin is sexy, forbidden, and intense. Reid is the guy who broke Robin’s sister’s heart all the years ago when he up and left. Now years later Robin lets Reid know what she thinks about him. Reid can’t believe she held a grudge for so long and thinks there is more to this story and there is, more than either of them know. Oh the heat and chemistry is thru the roof in this story, you definitely have to read this to find out what happens between Reid and Robin…does she or doesn’t she with him? And what really happened with her sister?...

Such a hot fast paced insta give it all tale! Bella Love-Wins has such a knack for giving us these steamy fun take a break from reality reads I just cannot get enough!
This tale centers around, Reid has been out of the Army and back home for awhile. When he runs into women he cannot ignore- Reid finds out quickly she is the sister of his the ex-girlfriend he up and left at the end of high school to join the Army, knowing Robin will not want to give him the time of day he should just leave her alone. However, the attraction between them defies the law of gravity- and some mysteries need to be solved.
Loved this so much! Between the banter and connection, I could almost feel coming off my Kindle this shorty was a perfect weekend morning read to get my day started off right!
I am excited for more!

I had mixed feelings about His Ex’s Little Sister by Bella Love-Wins. At first, I was surprised by how much I was enjoying this one. The title had me unsure, and I had my doubts about it, yet the story had me curious about the characters and how things would develop. Part way through, however, my interest started to lessen. Things came together much too quickly and the intensity I’d been hoping for was lacking. In fact, some of the behaviour seemed to come out of nowhere simply to move the plot forward. Thus, this was great for quick reading, but the ending wasn’t quite all I’d hoped for.

I think, in part, the fact I prefer longer stories is to blame for my feelings toward this one. Fans of quick reads are likely to enjoy this one a lot more than I did.

[Rogetwhi · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is horribly written. The names change and the editing is horrible. I didn’t like the H or h. Plus the whole thing with her family knowing the “big secret” all along and not telling her was stupid. Then at one point she gets mad acting like he won’t leave her alone when she was the one who approached him in the first place!🙄 I almost DNF about a thousand times so I feel I am entirely justified in my rating. Also this is MY rating so please no negative comments since if you don’t like my review all you have to do is move along!!!

His Ex's Little Sister

Misconception, lies, words unsaid, hurt feelings, cause anger, distrust, blame that rightfully was misplaced from the very beginning. Reid returns from the military after many years, and runs into the fiery temper Robin an ex girlfriends sister, who blames him for her sisters short comings. They most certainly have a chemistry between them, but can they get past this? Cute, intense short story, enjoy.

It SUCKS

Do Not Read this book. I barely finished ten percent of it. Good thing it was free, if not I would have wasted my money.

[Jamoz23 · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short enjoyable story.
Reid falls for Robin pretty much straight off the bat when he sees her but Robin has a grudge against Reid as he supposedly hurt her sister emotionally back in high school.
I liked Reid even though he seemed a bit of a player. He keeps saving Robin from fire accidents, or are they.
Robin takes stupid and stubborn to a whole new level. She castigates herself after sleeping with Reid and accuses him of lying before getting the facts from her sister.
There is a good background story that I enjoyed.
This was a free read from the author.

[Paganalexandria]

I didn't read far enough to comfortably rate. I hate sibling jumping to begin with, and the writing style draw me in enough to push past it.

Great little sexy read, and I am looking forward to hearing more from this Insta-Love on the Run series!

Reid e Robin sono due persone che non dovrebbero stare insieme. Le loro famiglie non vanno d'accordo. Reid è un militare che torna dopo anni nella sua cittadina natale, solo per scoprire che la ragazza che è sul palco davanti a lui e che lo affascina, è la sorellina della sua ex Che lui ha abbandonato per diventare un militare. Ora che è tornato per svelare i misteri di molti incendi, deve fare i conti con la sua vita passata e con le persone che ha lasciato dietro di lui a soffrire per il suo distacco.

Per quanto questo libro sia piccolino ci sono moltissime storie dente dentro che potrebbero essere sviluppate in un romanzo con una carica emotiva molto forte! La sorellina di Robin avrebbe una storia Tutta sua e sarebbe bello scoprire come ha passato gli ultimi anni con la sua depressione, poi la storia di Robin stessa con il suo ex, la storia di Reid durante la sua vita da militare... Tutti questi buchi di trama che abbiamo ora in questo libro potrebbero essere svelati in un romanzo da favola, perché potrebbe essere romantico, drammatico e sexy tutto allo stesso tempo!
Potrebbe diventare una combinazione esplosiva che farebbe un boom nella letteratura!

Qui la narrazione invece è molto bacata e lascia molte domande al lettore. I personaggi sono sorvolati nei loro caratteri, nei loro bisogni e nelle loro voglie. Abbiamo un antagonista che meritava di più di un semplice Cameo e la storia d'amore va veloce perché i due si piacciono subito, però un approfondimento non sarebbe stato male!

A short, steamy great read by Bella Love-Wins about an ex military hot man, Reid, and his ex's little sister, Robin. When he sees Robin sing at a bar he knows he has to have her not realizing who she is but she remembers him. Robin hates him after what he did to her older sister 9 years ago and confronts him at the bar but doesn't tell him everything. Reid won't let up until he knows the whole truth as to why she has held a grudge all these years towards him but there is more to the story than either of them know. But when her life is in danger he has no problems protecting her, and protects her he does unfortunately he states something to her that she doesn't believe and confronts her sister but that only leads them both into more danger....will he get there in time?
A great fast paced read with some suspense, lust/love and confronting the past to be able to move forward, secrets and lies that finally come to light and moving on from the past.

Quick Insta Love

Are you ready for a quick instant love? If so then grab this novel. Filled with instant attraction, stubbornness, and a HFN ending you will enjoy this read.
Reid has a past and it's about to come and bite him in the rear in the form of a little sister. He never expected it to happen but lust is a dangerous thing and brings his world crashing into Robin's.
She has her own secrets that she wants to keep hidden. I liked her sass and how she interacted with Reid. She was a strong character in the short time we got to know her. I really liked that in this short story we got to see her hard work and dreams. She wasn't weak in my opinion and I liked that.
Overall I thought it was an enjoyable read. There were surprises that I liked, but I felt like I was missing something. I'm not sure what, but almost just wanted a bit more as a reader. That said, I would definitely recommend this story if someone is looking for a good quick read.

First time trying this author. I'm trying to read at least a new author to me every few books. This was short and somewhat spicy, so it was what it was advertised to be although the spicy/smexy didn't start to after 65% or so. I felt that Reid was a bit stalkerish in his pursuit of Robin - it kind of overtook me and overwhelmed the (short) book for me. But, nonetheless, Robin didn't think of him that way after her brief avoidance of him due to his long-ago relationship with her sister. There's also a sort of mystery that goes along with their relationship. And there are family secrets on both sides.

Spicy is good. And it's always good to have a few authors in the list who can do short and spicy without a lot of writing or editing problems.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I loved Robin and Reid's story. It was a fast paced love story of two people who meet one night at a bar that Robin is singing at. Reid has an instant attraction to her and thinks he is catching Robin's eye. Especially when she comes over to him after one of her sets. He soon finds out he has captured her eye for a different reason. She informs him that she is the little sister of his ex from high school. Apparently what Robin knows about Reid is not all true. Reid finds out what has been told to Robin and her family and is more than wiling to set the record straight. Robin is also dealing with issues of her own from an ex. The chemistry between Robin and Reid is so hot. This story had a little of everything. Suspense, mystery, love, steamy scenes. This was a fabulous read from Ms Love-Wins and I highly recommend it. Loved the HEA!

Steamy with a bit of suspense...4.5 stars!

His Ex’s Little Sister is surprisingly entertaining, well written with smart characters. For a short read, it packs a bit of steam. Great plot with suspense. Robin’s dealing with a slimy ex-boyfriend who can’t stay away from her. And Reid, back from home from his military service with the SEALs, is partner in his own security firm. Sparks fly when Reid and Robin hook eyes, but unfortunately Robin’s older sister used to be Reid’s old girlfriend from highschool, and he broke her heart when he left town to join the military. She never knew the real truth. Ms. Wins tells a great story through great dialogue and plot twists. This story grabs you and keeps you intrigued until the end.

Fast and Furious

Reid is back in his hometown after a 10 year stint in the military. He's now part of a security firm and is hanging out with a couple of his buddies in their favorite bar when he sees a beautiful woman who captures his interest. She ends up being part of the entertainment, a singer, but he's shocked to learn that she's an ex's little sister--she didn't look like hat when he left! He's quite surprised to find out that she seems to hate him for ditching her sister before he left and is carrying a grudge that doesn't quite make sense after all this time.
Robin can't believe her eyes when she sees who's blown back into town. How dare he try to flirt with her! And how dare her body respond so damned intensely to him.

Reid is home after 9 years being in the army which he joined to get away from his broken home. He runs into a hot sassy red head at his local waterhole and when she sings he is mesmerized by her voice.

When they talk a few times that are very heated and trying to understand what's going on. Things come to light between Reid and Robin. Will Robin be able to see and hear the truth and get past all the anger. When danger comes at Robin will Reid be able to save her? This book is an amazing insta-love. It has suspense, love, and everything you need .Bella Love-Wins writes an amazing stories. Can't wait to read more from her.

So what happens when Robin finds out the truth in this roller coasters thrill ride that will keep you on your toes to the very end.

I love reading Bella's short stories. Reid and Robin's story is so good. Reid was dating Robin sister in high school but leaves without telling anyone he joined the military and didn't say goodbye. Thinking Raid broke her sister's heart Robin refused to get involved with Reid. She also had a crazy ex boyfriend that tries to kill her but Reid saves her. You will not see how Reid wins Robin's heart and claims her as his own. You will not be disappointed how it all plays out.
