“She is a ‘beautiful drug’ and I am at risk of being addicted to her…”
This book will blow your socks off with passion, a super-hot alpha male, and a mysterious fiery female. It introduces you to the, Maximus Aurelius Moore, or Aurei for short. He is a soon to be ex-military man who has a secret multimillion dollar life he has built for himself. He is quite the business savvy man and takes a childhood trust fund given to him by his grandfather worth one million dollars at 18 and turns it into many businesses where he has flourished at running. Aurei is also quite the lover. He loves his women, just nothing to do with commitment. He keeps it a casual hit it and quit it scenario in attempts to protect his hardcore wall he has built up around him and his heart. “I’ve always know I’m different and finding someone different like me, is so far off the charts of possible, even a Vegas gambler wouldn’t take those odds. I’ve never felt that undeniable spark that drives a man to hook-up with one woman in a steady, long term relationship.” Funny coincidence is he ends up at his home in Vegas to check out a business venture for a close friend. He needs to find out everything he can about an elusive dancer named Seary. She is the hottest thing on the strip and very much a high value investment just for her ideas. Once he sees her perform, everything he thought he knew about himself and love went out the window. She captures his mind and soul and they never even speak a word to each other. “I am unable to take my eyes off her, unable to see anything else, and unable to hear anything but the music of her dance as her body literally sings like a siren to me. No woman has ever had this effect on me. She is simply stunning!” Upon this realization he decides he will stop at nothing to meet the infamous Seary face to face. Regardless of all the roadblock that seem to be standing in-between him and her. After all this alpha male gets everything he wants. Right? I am on the edge of my seat for the next book in this scorching hot series!

Looking For Love
By Cindee Bartholomew
5 'red hot' stars!!!
Looking For Love is the first book in the Siri’s Saga series. I’m pretty sure that this book is leading us into one fantastic series! I was instantly hooked by the story that is starting to unfold.
The book is about Maximus Aurelius Moore (gosh even his name sounds sexy!) who is a military officer and secret venture capitalist. He gets sent to Vegas to check out a business opportunity in the shape of a stripper known as Seary. He is warned that once you see Seary perform you never forget her but Moore is not convinced – he has a system with woman and he is never captivated by them! That is until her sees Seary on stage – He is spellbound by her and he can’t get her out of his mind.
I have to admit because of the way in which this book is written I could imagine everything that Moore was seeing when Seary was dancing. The descriptive wiring was amazing. Everything from the stage set up, to the lighting, to the costumes that the dancers were (or in this case were not) wearing - fantastic detail. We don’t get to know much about Seary’s character in this story apart from what she looks like and her dancing abilities but we do get a good insight into Moore, how he runs his life and why he is so taken with Seary. This book has certainly got me wanting more (in more ways than one!) and I can’t wait to find out what is going to happen when Moore eventually gets to meet Seary. I have a feeling this story is not going to be quite what I’m expecting but I think it’s going to be one sexy and steamy read!

a brilliant read about finding someone to love you completely. Marcus Aurelius Moore, an ex army man and businessman is only interested in finance and hook-ups with attractive models. when a business opportunity arises in Vegas, he jumps at the chance. Arriving in his lavish home, he goes to the club where this dancer works. When she dances on the stage, it is clear she is an excellent dancer and Aurelius is instantly captivated by her. Entranced by her beauty, he insists to go on a date with her, despite her busy work schedule. Will he be able to get a date with her and make her his, or will life obscure his path?
a brilliant read. well developed plot. well developed characters. sometimes Aurelius was a little too much, especially in the first few scenes with the model, but he grew on me with his army past. these flashbacks to events in his army service were beautifully written. I loved the depiction of Seary's dancing abilities with her taent showing through. ia slo loved her visual detail of the colours in her costumes such as the red and purple and the gold paint. I enjoyed the romance and the sense of how they deserve one another, but at times it felt like she was just a transaction. I also felt the amount of money and expensive items Aurelius has was a little too ridiculous at times, especially with the shoes appearing from the floor feeling like it belonged more in a Bond movie. I also enjoyed the scenes in the club. Overall, a brilliant read and I would give it four stars.

I always like reading about true love. It makes me feel happy knowing other people’s interpretations of what they think true love is.
This is the first book In the series and it was such a good read that readers know the other books in the series will be equally as amazing.
Maximus Aurelius Moore, his name sounds kind of pompous, he is a military officer.
After having connections to the military, I always enjoy it that little bit more when a character is in any part of the military.
As well as being an officer he also a secret venture capitalist.
He gets sent to Vegas to see a dancer named Seary. We do not know much about her but that is all to come and I cannot wait.
I really did enjoy this book. It was not what I was expecting. The detail in the pages was amazing. So much so that visualising what the characters were seeing. Bring on book 2!

Looking For Love (Siri’s Saga Book 1)
By Cindee Bartholomew
Took me a while to get into this book. However I did end up enjoying the story, so I am glad I pushed on with it. Maximus Moore is soon to retire from the forces. Maximus hadn’t told his family he had joined until his grandfather want4d him to stay in Italy for a while so they could work his future out. I was then he found out that he had money and most of his friends don’t know is that he is a millionaire, thanks to a trust fund set up by his grandfather when he was younger. Since his grandmother gave him a camera years ago his passion quickly became photography his favourite to photograph is nude w omen. Many of these models he gets into his bed with ease, some he can’t please so those times it becomes about him. Although some of the models want to see him again he tells them that he doesn’t see the same girl twice. You could say Maximus uses these models as notches in his belt. The question is does Maximus even know what love is? Also, what will his friends think when they find out he has been a millionaire all the time they have known him.

Looking For Love is Book one in the Siri’s Saga series by Cindee Bartholomew. A great prequel to the main series it sets the scene for what is to come.
The book is entirely told from Aurei’s point of view, with hardly any introduction to the mysterious dancer. Enticing and engaging the book leaves you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more.
When Aurei is asked to visit a club in Vegas to check out a business proposition he thinks it will be a quick recon visit - something he is very familiar with. He wasn’t expecting to be drawn to the appealing beauty that steps out on to the stage and captures his attention from the start.
I thought this was a fantastic book, well written and different from most others. Told from his point of view only you aren’t really introduced to Seary, other than getting to read about his reaction to her. It adds to the mystery and has just left me wanting to read the next book even more. A great introduction to this series and this author.

Looking For Love by Cindee Bartholomew is book one in Siri’s Saga and a 4 star read for me.
At the beginning I wasn’t sure if it was the right book for me, despite reading the synopsis and knowing what I was getting into, I wasn’t sure I would warm up to “Hard” but boy was I wrong. I loved the character progression we saw from the middle to end of the book, almost like a switch flipped and my feelings had changed towards him.
About 4 chapters in, I realized that I was hooked and I couldn’t put the book down, I read it in almost one sitting. I was left NEEDING more. The characters are extremely intriguing from “Hard” and his friends we meet in Vegas to Seary I found myself really wanting to know more.
I’m definitely looking forward to reading more.

Sexy, thrilling love story between a bad boy and the women who steals his heart. The story was slow at the beginning but ended up catching my attention and I couldn’t put it down! I love the story of Siri and Max, it’s so raw and sexy. Can’t read the sequels!

Looking For Love (Siri's Saga Book 1) by Cindee Bartholomew is the first book in her Siri Saga series. This story is a hot, steamy romance story that will pull you in right from the beginning. This story is about wanting something so bad that it could be borderline obsessive The characters in this story are connectable and lovable. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride from anger to compassion. Maxium Aurelius Moore is a military officer who is an Apache pilot who has a nick name of Hard-Core. This is who he was and lived up to his name until his VC business partner sends him on a scouting mission in Las Vegas. This is where he meets her. She is a stripper at a Gentleman's Club but the moment he sees her, he knows he has to have her. How far is he willing to go to get her? Will she accept him? He has become obsessed with having her but how far will he go? She has secrets, what is she hiding? Will he give up his player ways for her? Maxium is the type of character that is part bad boy, part player but yet when you are not looking he can be the sweetest person. He is a strong person who knows what he wants and how to get it. He needs to have control but when it comes to her, he doesn't seem to have any, he just knows he must have her. The secondary characters in this story are just as great as the main characters. They are connectable and lovable, some good and some evil. They all seem to link to each other which makes the story easy flowing. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to see if Maxium gets what he wants or will secrets be to much.

This was a terrific read. I especially like the fact that you get proper background information on the characters. Especially the focus on the nicknames that they have for each other. The special little bromance they had going on really made me smile and there were plenty of laugh out loud moments in the book to keep me going. I also loved the chemistry between the main couple. This is a promising start to what looks to be a fantastic series and I cannot wait to read the rest of the installments to see what else is in store. Very well written and definitely a book I would re-read. the characters are so well written

January 1, 2018Looking for Love is the first novel in the Siri series by Cindee Bartholomew. This is my first novel by this author.
Maximus Aurelius Moore is playboy who finds his women through an agency that guises as models for his photography. His main passion is the Armed Forced.
He goes to Vegas for business reasons but stops at a clubbed called Been Jammin.
While there he sees a dancer that captivates him and makes him feel passion he's never felt before just by looking at her. When he arranged for a more private dance for himself, he finds out that her schedule is booked until Valentine’s Day.
Will be able to wait that long?
I really enjoyed this story. Feels like a prequel to set up the series to meet the main character's and know some of their backgrounds.
Oh that ending! That really got me.
Definitely in need of the next book!

Looking For Love (Siri's Saga Book 1) by Cindee Bartholomew is a contemporary romance story about Aurei, a man who has been given the call sign of “Hard” from his teammates due to his love them and leave them lifestyle, and a woman called Seary, an exotic dancer that has his heart racing and his body screaming to claim her from the first moment he sees her. While Aurei is used to women practically falling at his feet Seary is different. She doesn’t fall for him immediately like most women; in fact she gives him a hard time for a while. Eventually she does get past his cocky attitude to the real man behind the mask and that is when she starts to fall and fall hard.
This book was a little hard for me to get into at first. Aurei is arrogant at the start of the story to the point of almost being unlikeable. However as the story progresses his tough exterior begins to crumble and we get to see the real man under the all the armor. Siri, aka Seary, is a very independent woman and more than a match for Aurei. The chemistry these two is absolutely incredible. I’m glad I stuck with this book because after finishing it I have to give it a well-deserved five star rating.

Looking for Love A True Love Romance Story, #1 by Cindee Bartholomew
Four Stars
I love a good mystery woman or man but this story was in a different ball game. This story was just a background story for the next book. It gave you a glimpse of who Max is and how he finds love. I felt the author was trying to give us a point of view to follow in the next book. Our man guy Hard is just too much at times and his character has no real depth. He has it all but nothing fulfilling. This story had me wanting to pull my hair out. There were some good parts and the authors writing was good. I'm giving it four stars because there was potential for something good and I want to know what happens next. The ending was the worst because it left you just feeling confused and just frustrated. It was an interesting read just because it was a setting I haven’t experienced yet in all my reading.

Looking for Love by Cindee Bartholomew is the first book in her new series, Siri’s Saga and it was definitely a favorite of mine. Centering on a man who lives for his career as a military pilot, keeping his life private and his work more so, he is an enigma from the get go and one that I just couldn’t get enough of. His alpha tendencies and his obsessive need for control were so well displayed that I couldn’t read his story fast enough. When on a mission to Las Vegas, he sees Seary dancing, and he is a total goner. I loved the interactions between the two main characters, the back and forth and the give in that Bartholomew shows so well was hot as all get out. Anytime that the female lead can make the man work for what they both want makes for a great read. Looking for Love is the first book of Bartholomew’s that I have read, but she has got me hooked on her style of writing. I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series goes.

Looking For Love written by Cindee Bartholomew is A Siri Saga Book 1. This book was intoxicating with the characters. At the beginning I wasn’t sure how I felt about Aurelius Moore. He seemed like a arrogant, domineering. Alpha male, but not in the good attractive way. The story is told from Aurei’s perspective and it includes flashbacks from his past so help understand why he behaves that way in the present. With his need for control, and expects his demands to be met he finally comes across that one person who does not cave under his demands. He was captivated the first time he saw her and he will have her, at any cost. But it will cost him a lot more then financially anticipated. As the story progresses you start to relate and feel for Aurei, and to you find yourself getting mad for him. This story ends in a cliff hanger but you definitely can’t wait to see what happens next.

Looking For Love by Cindee Bartholomew is a fun new start to a romance series. The characters are unique and Interesting. I know I For one and looking forward to learning more about Seary. She seems a bit mysterious to me and I’d like to find out more about her. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Aureli. My first thought of him was male hoe. But as the story continued I felt that maybe that wasn’t the case and that maybe there was more to him. I think the next book will be interesting as well and hopefully touch base more on the characters. Overall it was a good book and fast read. Easily finishable in one day. The writing is good and it keeps you engaged throughout. Looking forward to the rest of the series. 4 star rating.

Looking for Love by Cindee Bartholomew is the first book in this series. In this first part you meet Aurei who is retired from the military and also has some money that he invests in different businesses. One business that his partners would like him to consider is a high end strip club with a VIP stripper named Seary. Once Aurei sees Seary all bets are off and he wants her in any and all ways possible. Problem is Seary is so VIP that she is almost impossible to get close to. Aurei is beyond determined and he is used to getting what he wants. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Looking for Love is the first book I've read by Cindee Bartholomew, and I was happy to have read this book!
Aurei, or as his military brothers call him "Hard", isn't looking to settle down, ever. I found him hard to like at first but he redeemed himself the more I read, and those are the best male leads! When he meets Seary, she doesn't fall to her knees like every other female, and he's intrigued.
Seary, is very independent and I loved her straight away.
The chemistry with these two was HOT! I cannot wait for book 2. This is a must read.
