The Connor Family #1
Anything for You
Hotshot CEO Landon Connor knows what he wants: success. He knows his way around the boardroom, and his work has been front and center for him ever since losing his wife. But after sealing the biggest deal of his career, he decides to take a trip to his hometown. Nothing spells vacation like a little time in the LA sun with the boisterous family he’s missed so much.
But the tempting landscape designer working for his sister spells a whole lot more than fun. Maddie Jennings is everything Landon didn't think he wanted anymore. He can’t get enough of Maddie’s sweetness, or her sensual curves, and he pursues her every chance he gets.
Despite fanning herself every time Landon comes near her, Maddie tries to ignore their attraction. But Maddie hasn’t met anyone quite like Landon. He’s sexier than anyone has the right to be, and more intense too.
When Landon romances her with late night walks and flowers, she can’t help giving in to him. His touch is intoxicating, and his love is beautiful.
But can Landon open up his heart for longer than a summer?
*This book is a standalone and intended for readers 18+.

March 5, 2019Quite likable characters and probably a sweet story, but too slow and uninteresting for me

Favorite Quotes:
I was a sucker for men in suits, but men with rolled-up sleeves and muscled forearms were my kryptonite.
Maddie smiled sweetly at him while working on his cocktail. “Rule number one. Never be disrespectful to the person serving your food or beverage. You never know what they might put in. ”When she slid his glass toward him, the guy looked down at it as if afraid to touch it. I held my glass up in her direction, grinning. Her sass was contagious.
The dating world is a lot like seeing a fin in the water and thinking it’s a dolphin, only to later discover it’s a shark. It takes trial and error to get to the good ones.
My Review:
I adore Layla Hagen’s sweet and sexy romance, they are my guilty pleasure and have never failed to put a smirk on my face. Written in my favorite dual POV, the engaging story was low angst with clever hits of humor and provided a lovable cast of endearing new characters as well as and a sweet, steamy, equal, and supportive relationship. Nirvana. I look forward to many more stories featuring the feisty and lovable Connor clan.

Not bad but not memorable either. Its so so feeling. No angst. No drama. I feel this book is a tad longer. The banter is sexy and flirty enough.
No characters development. Insta love connection. I like the dynamic of Connor family. They seems to be fun family. Love each other.
The wording is too wordy, hence 300 pages.

It was just underwhelming to me. There’s was nothing bad about this book, but nothing great either. There was zero drama, zero angst, and zero tension. It’s a good book if you need something safe after reading a very emotional book or just want a chill book break. The MMC is a widow but there’s never anything negative or any drama surrounding it. Solid book, just not memorable.

Cute read

Before I began reading this book I wondered if half of my top reads for 2018 were going to be from Layla Hagen because I always love her books. Turns out that won't be the case because I didn't love the book. It was good enough but it lacked the usual spark and it felt like any other romance in some ways. I loved the Connors though and I am looking forward to Lori's book. I also liked the very brief appearance of Sebastian and Ava. Landon and Maddie were a good couple and I loved their relationship, but I wanted some drama to make things even better. I felt like their romance needed something more in order to be perfect. Landon was a good guy and he did all the right things. I liked how devoted Maddie was and a lot of others things about her, so I can say that as individuals these two worked for me. I felt as if their relationship was too vanilla though and that something was missing. It saddens me to give 4 stars to a book by Layla Hagen, but this book wasn't as good as her other works.

4 solid stars!
Faithful both of them
No ex drama
He is a widower but he wasn't crying about his late wife. He wasn't manho either
She was bold and hardworking woman
Hot steamy sex scenes
We get a glimpse about all brothers and sisters of this family. It's promising!

Ich habe schon die New York Serie geliebt und da ich mir gerade alle anderen Serie zusammensammele hab ich mit diesem Hörbuch gestartet. Es war wieder so gut. Tolle Geschichte und tolle Charaktere. Ich habe es zwar dieses Mal gehört, aber es macht für mich keinen Unterschied, außer dass ich nicht lesen muss. Ich mag es wie Layla immer so Großfamilien in ihre Geschichten webt und daraus eine ganze Reihe macht. So lernt man alle mit jedem Band genauer kennen und lieben. Hab schon mit dem nächsten Band begonnen, ab der 3. Geschichte werde ich es dann selber lesen, da gibt es keine Hörbücher mehr. Oh, ich liebe die Serie jetzt schon.

3.5 'Learn to Love Again' STARS
Tailored suit meets smart and sexy garden lady.
Maddie may have had the green thumb,
but Landon was the one doing all the plowing.
Landon is your typical hotshot CEO, a commanding presence in and outside of the office. He shows as much commitment and attention to the nine-to-five as the woman he chooses to share bed with.
Landon is very hands-on...
& workin' out business deals isn't the only thing he does with his mouth.
Of course he's deliciously sexy in a tailored suit and pleasantly stubborn without being a complete arrogant ass. In the romance book realm I can appreciate the balance.
He comes from a big and loud family that really defines the man he is... Landon isn't a stranger to tragedy, losing his parents at a young age, and his amazing wife—Landon understands the importance of family and what it means to make sacrifices. He's not afraid to step up and do the right thing, but he's not so inclined to let anyone help him—hence the stubbornness.
Maddie is equally stubborn, sexy in a pair of sneakers or a simple dress, either way she's down-right feisty. Like Landon, Maddie values family. She's also not afraid of getting dirty in the name of hardwork. Landon prefers the office, Maddie loves the outdoors. Life threw Maddie an shitty-ex-curve ball, but she's resilient and incredibly motivated to do life her way.
She finds herself easily swayed be the sexy CEO in a tailored suit. Landon proves to be very persuasive with his mouth.
They are instantly drawn to each other. It's fun, it's flirty and downright fluffy. Plenty of Damsel and distress moments to make your heart flutter and sexual tension to make you blush.
So why not 5 stars? *sigh*
I value the cat n' mouse game
The good old fashion push or pull.
I'm not all about that instant gratification of insta-love, so to speak. I wasn't in love with Maddie and Landon and they were already ridiculously in love with their perfect relationship.
If you love insta-love, *nothing wrong with that*
you will love Landon and Maddie's story.
The plot was meh...well, there really wasn't one. It was really a mad dash to sex. I could think of worst book goals, but I digress. There was little to no conflict, and I like me some drama. Again, really comes down to personal preference.
Everything was fluffy n' perfect.
Landon was thee perfect man.
A good listener, caring, cocky without being a complete douchebag & I absolutely hated him for it...just kidding although God forbid he have a single undesirable flaw.
Maddie's perspective seemed to be less important than Landon. Her backstory was also kind of a question mark. At times the family dialogue was a bit of a headache. Overall the book was dialogue driven, funny at times and wonderfully heartfelt, but also hard to envision.
In a nutshell, the plot, the pace, the characters, all took a backseat to the mind blowing sex. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you set out to read...There were some seriously steamy sexy time scenes delivered in this book, and quite beautifully... but I was disappointed that the same attention to those scenes didn't carry out in other areas of the story.
Landon and Maddie's journey was cute, full of sexual tension and all things flirty but it wasn't an epic love story. That doesn't mean it wasn't a fun read, it just could've been so much more.

This series (the Connor family) is a spinoff from the 10 book Bennett family series (they are cousins); Anything for You is the first book, and follows eldest brother Landon, and landscaper Maddie. The two have an instant attraction, but both have some relationship scars and aren’t looking for love.
It’s a fairly sweet, slow-burn romance, and what I call a vanilla romance. There's no major drama or fighting; both mc's are very likeable, and kind to each other; and it’s totally safe. There’s no ow/om drama; no cheating, and no double standards. (the H has a dead ex, but he's dealing with it maturely) Their only real issue is that Landon is only visiting LA, so there's an expiration date, but again no major angst... they are just making the best of their time living in the moment. It’s very realistic, and everyone’s “adulting” without a trigger in sight.
This book would be perfect for peeps looking for total safety, without wholesome cuz there's plenty of cursing and sex, so it’s not your g-ma’s romance, but it’s also why I can never be a FT member of the safety gang, because I was bored… a lot. It was just too steady, and too realistic for me… I’m living in a steady, mature, safety-approved romance, so I depend on books to provide some angst and drama-llama, and this was too tame to keep me interested.
Bottom Line- It really depends on what you’re in the mood for. If you want totally safe/drama free… dive in, but if you’re looking for angsty, and some “feels”; keep searching. 😊 Overall, it’s not bad, it’s written well, and there’s a short epilogue 3 months later.

Es gibt viele Bücher auf deren erscheinen ich mich freue, doch Flowers of Passion - Verführerische Rosen habe ich wohl am meisten entgegengefiebert. Aus dem einfachen Grund, dass ich in den letzten Jahren ein riesiger Fan von Layla Hagen und ihren Büchern geworden bin. Die Geschichten sind immer etwas Besonderes und bisher hat mich noch keins von ihnen enttäuscht. Und den Auftakt der Flowers of Passion Reihe ändert daran definitiv auch nichts.
Was passiert in diesem Buch?
Nachdem einigen schwierigen Jahren steht Maddie endlich wieder auf eigenen Beinen und liebt ihren Beruf als Landschaftsarchitektin mehr denn je, dass sie ein freundschaftliches Verhältnis mit ihrer derzeitigen Auftraggeberin pflegt, macht alles nur noch besser. Bis sie Landon Connor trifft, den Bruder ihrer Auftraggeberin. Denn der stellt ihre Welt ordentlich auf den Kopf.
Konnten mich die Protagonisten überzeugen?
Ich mochte beide Protagonisten unheimlich gerne, sie haben diesen typischen 'Layla Hagen'-Charme versprüht.
Maddie war eine dieser Protagonistinnen, die man einfach ins Herz schließen muss. Immerhin ist ihres größer als das der meisten anderen Menschen. Dabei hat mir besonders ihre Beziehung zu ihrer Schwester gefallen, für die sie wirklich alles gemacht hätte. Natürlich hatte Maddie auch Momente, in denen sie etwas schwächer war und nicht so stark und selbstbewusst wie sonst die meiste Zeit über. Aber genau das hat sie für mich noch besser gemacht. Ich könnte wirklich noch einige Stellen aufzählen, die mir Maddie noch näher gebracht und sie mir noch sympathischer gemacht haben. Auch Momente wo sie süß und witzig war. Aber das würde den Rahmen sprengen, also behaltet meine Schwäche für sie einfach im Hinterkopf.
Auch über Landon könnte ich wohl einen ganzen Roman schreiben. Angefangen damit, wie sehr er mir leidgetan hat. Denn ich wünsche ehrlich keinem das, was er alles durchmachen musste. Umso mehr habe ich mich natürlich gefreut, als er sich tatsächlich wieder einer Frau gegenüber geöffnet hat. Was ich allerdings an Landon am besten fand war, sein Sinn für Familie. Aber ich glaube, den braucht man auch, wenn man mit fünf Geschwistern aufwächst bzw. diese großzieht. Diese loyale Seite an ihm war auf alle Fälle sehr anziehend und hat seine Attraktivität nur noch weiter gesteigert. Okay, er war auch heiß und romantisch, was natürlich toll war, aber gerade dieses Gesamtpaket machen ihn zu einem tollen Bookboyfriend.
Auch die Chemie zwischen Landon und Maddie hat eindeutig gestimmt. Sowohl als Freunde, Partner und Geliebte. Sie haben sich einfach gut ergänzt und sich gegenseitig dabei geholfen, über die Vergangenheit hinwegzukommen. Es hat schlicht gepasst zwischen ihnen und die Funken haben bei den intimeren Szenen auch eindeutig gesprüht.
Gab es etwas, was mir nicht gefallen hat?
Ja es gab eine kleine Sache, die mich gestört hat und das war Landons Vergangenheit bzw. der Umgang damit. Nachdem was er mit seiner Frau erlebt hat und welche Bindungsprobleme er hatte, habe ich einfach angenommen, dass Maddie und er sich ein wenig mehr damit auseinandersetzen würden. Doch leider fehlte dieser Part gefühlt komplett. Darüber wurde nicht wirklich geredet, weswegen es sich für mich ein wenig ungelöst angefühlt hat. Besonders wenn man bedenkt, dass über Maddies gescheiterte Beziehung gefühlt mehr gesprochen wurde.
Gab es etwas, was ich noch erwähnen muss?
In den Rezensionen der Diamonds for Love Reihe, habe ich an dieser Stelle jedes einzelne Mal die Bennett-Familie angesprochen und wie sehr ich diese liebe. Jetzt muss ich genau das Gleiche mit den Connors machen. Was auch nicht weiter verwunderlich ist, immerhin sind die beiden Familien, miteinander verwand. Die Connor-Familie ist einfach so toll. Loyal und wundervoll chaotisch, doch dabei so liebevoll. Ich finde die komplette Familie einfach großartig und freue mich schon jetzt auf das nächste Buch!
Wie ist meine abschließende Meinung zum Buch?
Wie ich Anfangs schon gesagt habe, Layla Hagen kann einfach keine schlechten Bücher schreiben. Vor allem, wenn die Geschichten sich um Großfamilien drehen. Sie hat einfach eine ganz besondere Art die Dynamik zwischen den einzelnen Charakteren zu zeichnen. Dazu kommen noch wundervolle und romantisch leichte Liebesgeschichten. Ein garantiertes Rezept für ein Liebesroman-Highlight!

I have been a fan of Layla Hagen since the very first book of the Bennett series. I always know that reading any of her books, will leave me with this heart warming feeling that puts flutters in my belly. She makes me fall in love with every one of her characters, especially Mattie and Landon. Each of her characters go through trials and tribulations, and respectably earn their happily ever afters, and Anything For You is no different.
Landon was so swoon-worthy. After losing his wife, he throws himself into work and only work. There is no play time, even at his siblings insistence. After sealing the deal of a lifetime, Landon decides to take a vacation that is very much needed, to spend time with his siblings.
After moving a couple of years ago to LA to be with sister Grace, Mattie finally is headed in the right direction personally and professionally, or so she thinks. Trying to build her landscaping business from the bottom, that's all she really has time for besides her sister Grace.
Being that Mattie is the landscaper that is currently working on Landon's sister Val's property, Landon can't help that he likes what he sees. Taking everything with a grain of salt, as the days go by, their chemistry and the sexual tension rises. As the temperature flairs so does their passion, but what happens when the summer isn't enough, and both lead two very different lives in two different places?
I very much enjoyed this story. One of my favorite things about Layla's writing is, she does not drag out the plot, even though she does make them earn it. This is a very inspirational read about a second chance at love. I can not wait to read Landon's siblings stories. There is so much magic in each family Layla creates, between the sibling bantering, the sibling love and most definitely the sibling interference in things they believe in.

1 Star,
I mean the following sentence in probably the most literal, non-sarcastic way:
If you're up for a nice sweet, predictable af, smutty, definitely sexist and borderline-harassment book;
This is the book to go! I've read 3 out of 6 of the books in the series they are all obnoxiously predictive. There are scenes in this book that are so cringy, that simply rolling your eyes at is not enough. Your body will literally feel the need to curl in itself from the inside. There are several scenes where the female protagonist, Maddie, expresses her allure towards Landon (who is obviously a Greek-God like human being, with six-pack abs she can apparently see through his tight formal shirt. He was wearing a suit, how tight can his shirt be? Smh. ) and then feels the need to tell the reader "I don't need no knight. I'm not looking for a knight. I am my own knight." Which is just fucking cringy af. I think that these kind of beliefs or feelings should be expressed not told. That just fucks up the whole meaning, ya know?
Anyway, the book is not that bad. It has some good, if not cringy, smut scenes. And it's a good book if you're sad and lonely with no social life, like me. Otherwise, it's just fucking annoying.
Remember to only read this only if you're sad and lonely. You won't enjoy it otherwise.

Es gibt solche und solche Romance. Es gibt die, die witzig ist, wo man die Protagonisten mag die Geschichte einfach süß und schmerzvoll und leidenschaftlich und romantisch ist. Diese Art von Romance, in der man sich verliert und die man am Ende am liebsten gleich nochmal lesen möchte.
Flowers of Passion gehört nicht zu dieser Art von Romance!
Zwischenzeitlich habe ich einfach überlegt, es abzubrechen. Ich wollte nicht mehr. Es war anstrengend, nervig und einfach platt. Die Szenen zwischen Maddie und Landon waren zwar Stellenweise schon ziemlich heiß aber das wars auch schon.
Dem ganzen Roman hat für meine Meinung die Tiefe gefehlt. Weder die Protagonisten noch die Story hatten sie.
Das Potenzial war da! Auf jeden Fall - Landons erste Frau verstarb an einem Hirntumor - Maddie wurde ziemlich fies von ihrem Exfreund betrogen. Wird darauf weiter eingegangen? Nicht wirklich. Die Story mit der verstorbenen Frau wird kurz ein oder zweimal nebenbei erwähnt aber das wars.
Es erschien mir einfach alles ZU abgedroschen. Klischees samt Heirat, Kinder Haus usw - sowas stört mich sonst generell nicht so sehr, bei Vi Keeland zB liebe ich das aber hier in Kombination mit der platten Story und den unglaublich farblosen Protagonisten war es dann doch am Ende einfach zu viel des Guten.
Leider absolut nicht mein Fall und die Art von Romance, die ich einfach nicht mag.
Flowers of Passion gehört nicht zu dieser Art von Romance!

Read til about 30%, too slow and honestly boring for me:( I however stopped and just skipped to Epilogue and quite frankly EVEN that was boring:(
Ughhhh, just didn't feel it with these two unfortunately. I do however like this author and just because this story didn't work for me others may love it and I can see I am clearly in the minority!

I would for sure read this whole series. This author’s style of writing is exactly what I enjoy totally. Humor, a large happy family who works and supports one another. Sexual bantering, tension, and yes sex. We enjoy how this family likes to butt into each other’s business yet, not in a menacing way. Only with true love and concern.
Landon Connor is one of six Connor children left behind when his parents were killed by a drunk driver. He is not only the eldest child he is the eldest child by fifteen minutes. Which he endearing reminds his twin Val as often as possible. They both took over raising the children when tragedy struck. Landon is a widower and billionaire of a software co., Val is the owner & creator of a cosmetics & perfume co., Will is next he is a detective with LAPD.
Now, we have Lori she is a single mother of, Milo. She is an event/wedding planner, Hailey is next she is an investment planner and last but not least is, Jace he is a pro soccer player. Which is something both Landon and Val were well on their way to becoming since they had both received full rides to Harvard for soccer but days before Christmas they came home to bad news then stayed to do their part?
This is a family that doesn’t see a negative, only a way to find solutions even if it means ganging up on the stubborn one. Now, Landon has met his match when he meets Maddie. She too is the eldest and used to caring for her sister. Different circumstances same results. Landon is not used to anyone say no and why so firmly as well as pleasantly. Stubborn, meet stubborn. These treats in her intrigues him.
You see Maddie is the owner, on-site, and hands-on, the working boss of her landscaping design business. So, when Landon arrives at his sister’s spacious home and yards it looks like a bomb went off. Laughingly Val recruits her to spy on Landon to make him relax since he’s not had a vacation in four years. From there their lives become entwined. Two weeks turns into six plus.
A lot can happen when you are determined never to be vulnerable again by falling in love. Even when shored your walls up. Love is just that sneaky. Take time to enjoy this free time-out with this family you will not regret it. Free on Amazon. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.

Endlich geht es um die Connor Familie, auf die war ich schon durch den Bennett Clan sehr neugierig geworden.
Im Mittelpunkt steht Landon, der älteste des Connors Clan, und Maddie, die zurzeit den Garten von Val gestaltet.
Beide Charaktere schließt man sofort ins Herz. Landon würde einfach alles für seine Familie tun, das merkt man sofort, egal ob sein Leben drunter leidet. Für ihn stehen seine Geschwister, seit dem Tod seiner Eltern an oberste Stelle. Dafür hat er einiges aufgegeben.
Maddie ist genauso, für ihre Schwester macht sie alles. Sie unterstützt sie bei den Collegegebühren und muss dafür selber was zurückstecken.
Schön fand ich das hier wieder dieser Familienzusammenhalt wie bei den Bennetts ist. Und auch dass die Geschwister sich einmischen in die Belangen der anderen. Neben Landon und Maddie kommen die Geschwister oft genug vor und man möchte direkt wissen wie deren Liebesgeschichte aussehen mag.
An diesen Band hat mir besonderes gefallen, dass dieser ohne Drama ausgekommen ist. Eher waren es die Hürden des Lebens bei Landon und Maddie.
Der Schreibstil ist locker und leicht zu lesen und die Liebesszenen sind angenehm heiß dargestellt ohne plump zu wirken.
In allen wieder super zu lesen für zwischendurch.

I just love The Connor clan. Landon was married to his job. He was a widow and didn’t date after losing his wife four years before. That was until he took a much needed vacation to visit his family and meets Maddie, the beautiful blonde working decorating his twin sister landscape.
Ever since his wife died he hadn’t been interested in anyone until he met Maddie. He started swooning her. Maddie tried not to show her feelings for Landon especially since he lived in another city. Maddie had once moved for love and she was seriously not thinking of doing it again.
There chemistry and everything was beautiful until Landon had to leave. Maddie stayed behind because Landon was married to his job and she didn’t know exactly where they stood. Landon finally took his head out of his butt and realized what he needed to do. He went after what he wanted and his siblings were excited.
These two deserved a HEA especially Landon. Can’t wait for more on these siblings.

Interesting romance between the MCs.
The dialogues betweeen the characters felt natural and special mention has to be made about the family of the Connors. They are very close and that was beautifully brought out.

~ 5 Anything For You Stars ~
Layla Hagen is off to another great start of another family series!!!
Anything For You is the first book in the Connor Family Series. This is a spin-off from her Bennett Family Series, but the Bennett Series doesn’t have to be read before enjoying this series. The Bennett’s do make some small cameo’s in this story but nothing is spoiled if you start with this series.
I knew I was going to love this story as much as the Bennett’s because Layla Hagen wrote it!! I have been a huge fan of hers since the beginning and I will read anything she writes. I love her writing style and her family saga series are the best.
Anything For You is a fun, romantic and sexy love story. The story flowed perfectly and the pace was spot on. This is the first in her new series and is a standalone novel told in Dual POV. It is a totally entertaining story without having a lot of angst or drama. I had a huge smile on my face throughout the whole story.
In this book we follow Landon and Maddie. Landon is the eldest of the Connor clan. He has always felt responsible for his siblings since his parents passed away when they were younger. He has also been nursing a broken heart since his wife had passed four years earlier. Droning himself in his company and work, he never thought he would find love again. Maddie is a professional landscaper that Landon’s twin sister Val hired to design her landscape at her home. Landon has finally decided he needs a vacation and has decided to go home to visit his siblings. That is when he meets Maddie. Having an instant attraction, can these two find love again?? Will they be able to heal each other’s hearts?? What happens when there connection has a time limit?? Can they finally get their HEA?? Read this book to find out.
I would 100% recommend this story to anyone who loves a romantic and sexy love story. Also if you like stories that revolve around families…then you need to meet the Connors and their cousins The Bennetts.

3.5
Der Auftakt der Flowers of Passion Reihe hat mich sehr neugierig gemacht, da ich solche Art von Reihe sehr gerne gelesen. Ich habe auch bereits mit der Diamonds of Love Reihe der Autorin, die ich noch weiterverfolgen will.
Mir hat die Geschichte rund um Maddie und Connor ganz gut gefallen und ich habe mich gut unterhalten gefühlt. Sowohl Maddie als auch Connor fand ich sehr sympathisch und die beiden haben auch gut zusammengepasst, aber dennoch konnte die beiden nicht komplett begeistern und ich habe nicht so richtig mitgefiebert.
Auch die Atmosphäre des Buches hat auf mich nicht so gewirkt. Die Familienbande kamen für mich ein wenig zu kurz und auch das Setting hatte ein paar Schwächen und hatte nicht den Wohlfühlcharakter, den man sonst von solchen Büchern kennt. Das Ende war mir dann einen Tick zu kitschig und too much.
Dennoch wurde ich von der Geschichte gut unterhalten und bin gespannt auf die weiteren Teile aus der Connor Familie.

“It was an exceptionally lovely book. Kind-hearted and simply adorable.
And as always, I listened to it as an audiobook. And one of my favorite narrator pairs read this book — Andi and Sebastian.”

Say hello to the Connor family!! I already adore everything about this tight knit family and BONUS they are Bennett cousins! The series kicks off following eldest brother (and twin!) Landon, and his sister Val’s landscape architect Maddie.
Landon & Maddie’s story is a swoony, heart felt romance that you feel deep in your bones! In true Layla fashion the story was very authentic from work/life balance, putting family first, and the effort and communication it takes to maintain friendships/relationships.
We learn Landon is widowed and hasn’t spent much time in the dating world since. He has thrown himself into his work and building up his software company. Maddie moved across country for an ex, and decided to stay and plant her business roots and be near her baby sister. These two had a shared fun sense of humor that was a real page turner. Their story is packed with cute lunch dates, sneaky schemes and passionate dancing!
We were also introduced to the rest of the siblings, but of course Lori’s son Milo stole the show :) can’t wait to find out who earns their love!

Romantic, fun, and sensual. I've become an automatic fan of this author's stories because they're consistently good and satisfying. I can't believe her previous series has ended and I read all of them! All perfect to me :-D
So I felt immensely excited that she'd started a new series of stand-alones about the Connor family, cousins to the Bennets. Here I am, happy and sated with yet another gorgeous romance.
Anything For You kicks off the series with the eldest brother, Landon, intense, responsible, protective. The ideal alpha male with a white knight complex. I love him, Maddie loves him. She's independent, hardworking, and her heart still remembers dreams of a family and a relationship. They both share a past of broken hearts for different reasons and live in different cities, so that sense of impossible lent a bittersweet shortness to their situation.
I loved Maddie's job as a landscape designer, the strong chemistry that burned between the characters, and the sheer fun of the flirty dialogues. This new family is also close and cute. I'm eager to read about Will the detective! On the other hand, I was so impatient for them to become intimate which took some time in order for them to establish a good, vibrant relationship, and it was so worth it! Fireworks indeed :-D
They really fell in love. And I enjoyed it all very much, particularly a certain party, and I thought that what happened to one of the sisters and prompted a twist in the plot was also smart thinking.
This is a beautiful and optimistic romance between two people who learn to trust again, to let go of fear and welcome love and the freedom it brings into their lives. I'm very happy with the first story in this series, it's full of good family dynamics, funny banter, and a romantic epilogue.
