"Not since Nora Roberts has anyone been able to write a big family romance series with every book as good as the last. Bella Andre never disappoints." Revolving Bookcase Reviews
Fall in love with the Sullivans in Bella Andre's New York Times and USA Today bestselling contemporary romance series with the first three books in the #1 hit series.
THE LOOK OF LOVE
Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is--until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love--and protect--her, but will she let him?
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
For thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.
Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only, what no one knows about the twenty-five year old singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her, she vows not to let anyone else get close enough to find out who she really is...or hurt her again. Especially not the gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her want to spill all her secrets.
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.

An utterly enjoyable introduction to an interesting family. I'm a big fan of a series that isn't quite a series, each story can be read as a stand alone, but with a family as invested in each other's lives as the Sullivans you can't help but want to read them all.
They remind me a smidge of the Bridgertons.
This set includes Chase, Marcus and Gabe's stories. Each story has great interactions occurring amongst all 8 siblings. You become invested with each book because you get to see more of the clan.

Look of Love, Book 1
Chase Sullivan has a very creative profession. He’s also the one that let’s us behind the camera so we can see some of what he sees. It’s a reminder of how much you miss someone when you can no longer take a picture of him or her. If you’re someone that loved photography but haven’t picked up your camera in a while, this story may be your incentive to pick that piece of equipment up again. Chloe Peterson certainly defines damsel in distress. She also defines stubbornness.
This book was a great way to start this three-book set. Just like an author uses words to grab our attention, Chase has used his camera get us to see his family and want to know more about them. This set is about three of the Sullivan brothers and of them falling in love. Each brother has their own personality and their own way of falling in love.
If you’ve not read this series before why not get three for the price of one. Maybe you’ve read other books in the series but not these. Again, why not get the chance to read how Chase, Marcus, and Gabe let a woman into their lives. When you find a series that you love, you’ll find yourself reading it more than once. It’s been a while since I read this author and this was a great way to rediscover her work.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The three books in The Sullivan Series were all hot and heavy and highly erotic, leaving the reader gasping for breath and faster heartbeats. The whole Sullivan family is quite the rowdy but super loving bunch. The family matriarch has done a great job raising his sons and daughters despite not having her husband by her side.
Chase Sullivan, the photographer, found love under the rain after rescuing a damsel in distress. But Chloe’s not really a damsel waiting to be rescued, she’s got a lot in her hands, bruised hands, and a lot more that she could do with it.
Marcus Sullivan, the winery owner, soon discovered about his cheating ex-girlfriend and finally met the one whom he could lose himself with after nearly a decade of taking care of his own family. But for a man who values his privac, Nicola’s young age and celebrity status just made him wary and looked more like a father figure with all the experience he’d been through.
Gabe Sullivan was probably my favorite, for I have soft spot for firefighters. After saving a mother and her daughter in a fire, Gabe’s world was never the same again.
The Sullivan series is a great way to start meeting the family of 8 who all held great and noble jobs and had been raised by a mother with kindness and respect. Quite satisfied with how they all turned out and I already have my favorites among the brood. Of course, there’s something about the gorgeous men that really excited me, especially with the way they treat their female counterparts – loving, caring, passionate and burning! I can’t wait to meet the rest of the Sullivan family!

Who could pass up reading a passionate collection of three romance stories featuring a big close-knit family on a cool autumn day?
Since I enjoyed reading all three romance stories in The Sullivans Family Series (Boxed Set: Books 1-3), I decided to only provide a general book review instead of individual reviews.

The eight siblings - six brothers (Chase, Ryan, Marcus, Zach, Gabe, and Smith) and twin sisters (Sophie and Lori) along with their Mom Mary, take the readers along for the ride as their family deals with life and love in a big family way!
In the first three books of an impressive seventeen book series, the readers follow brothers Chase, Marcus, and Gabe as they each find love. Each of the brothers' stories flows smoothly from one to the next, and has a unique mixture of romance that will appeal to diehard family series romance fans.
Author Bella Andre weaves an intriguing, unique, and thoroughly enjoyable family romance series with engaging characters, a variety of romantic themes, and vividly rich settings of San Francisco and Napa Valley. There is enough drama, humor, mystery, and suspense that will easily draw the reader into each story, keep them turning the pages, and leave them wanting more.
The Sullivans Series (Boxed Set: Books 1-3) is the perfect collection of family romance stories to read on a cool autumn day. Each story will certainly peak your interest, and whet your appetite to read the remaining books in this delightful series!

August 17, 2017
I picked up book one - The Look of Love - in January of 2014 and proceeded to devour every book in the series I could get my hands on at the time. I just love this entire series from Bella Andre. She knows how to deliver an emotional read that brings the heart and the heat and leaves you smiling at the end and looking forward to the next story. This series is definitely a must read for everyone who loves romance!
THE LOOK OF LOVE
I really enjoyed my introduction to the Sullivan family and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Chase is the first brother who is introduced – he has no plans on settling down, but when he comes across Chloe he begins to think she may be the one. Chloe is fleeing from an abusive ex-husband when her car goes off the road into a ditch and she finds herself being rescued by Chase. After the circumstances of her last relationship, Chloe has a hard time trusting anyone, most of all herself. Chase literally charms the pants off of her, and fights his way into her heart.
This is a wonderfully sweet love story. Chase is everything you could dream of in a man – which sometimes makes him seem a bit unbelievable, but hey, this is a book so why not create a positively dreamy character. Chloe is a bit lost, trying to find herself after fleeing from her abusive marriage. She is strong, but has to learn to see that strength in herself, which Chase is willing to help her do. Oh, and did I mention that Chase is a total sexy, dominant, alpha male in the bedroom who likes a bit of dirty-talk? Oh, yeah, totally dreamy…
This book also sets us up to meet Marcus, the eldest of the Sullivan clan – it’s at his winery that Chase and Chloe’s story unfolds – and also begins to introduce us to other members of the Sullivan clan.
This was a fun read and I look forward to meeting the rest of the family that Bella Andre has created!
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
Another sweet read about the Sullivan family, featuring the oldest brother of the family. Marcus and Nicola were both looking for a no-strings hook-up, little did they know that their one-night stand would lead to little more than holding hands and ultimately falling in love…sigh…another sexy Sullivan falls hard and fast!
Marcus has always been the responsible one, who at age 14 stepped up to help raise his brothers and sisters when his father unexpectedly passed away. Marcus, who owns the vineyard where Chase and Chloe found love in book 1, has just found out that his girlfriend has been cheating on him when he walks into her apartment to find her in bed with another man. Looking for a distraction, he decides to go out on the town for a one-stand to help start the process of healing his heart, or at least forget about the past two years for a while.
Nicola is a famous pop star who rarely has a private moment – especially since her last boyfriend plastered compromising pictures of her all over the internet. It’s been six months, but she is still reeling from the betrayal. Rather than be faced with another lonely night in her hotel suite she decides to try her hand at living up to the party girl reputation she has – which leads her right to Marcus.
After a chance encounter brings them back together after a less than eventful one-night stand, Marcus and Nicola agree to some no-strings fun for the rest of the time she is in San Francisco – and boy do things get hot and steamy! Marcus is a total dom in the bedroom and Nicola can’t seem to get enough of him, dirty talk and all! But even though Nicola and Marcus seem to be developing a real feelings for one another, the differences in their ages and lifestyles come between them and force them apart. By the time Marcus realizes that Nicola is all he needs, he must go in hot pursuit of Nicola to snag their happy ever after.
Once again Bella Andre weaves a sweet love story with steam and angst and makes us fall in love with another Sullivan brother. She also sets up us for the next story in the series, which will be Gabe, the firefighter. Looking forward to the next hot read!
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Gabe, the sexy firefighter of the Sullivan family, finally meets his match in CPA Megan Harris. The only problem is that Gabe has rescued Megan and her daughter from a fire, and he has already been burned once before by getting involved with a fire victim. Megan has her own issues, grieving the loss of her dare-devil husband, and has vowed to never get involved with a man who has a dangerous job again.
Another fun read about a member of the Sullivan family. I think Gabe is my favorite brother so far. He is sweet, sexy, and he is so great with Megan’s daughter. Megan is such a strong character, picking up the pieces after her husband died, getting her degree and establishing herself in her profession so she could provide for her and her daughter. The fact that Megan has a daughter only adds to this love story and makes Gabe that much more irresistible. The heat between Gabe and Megan is great, and I love that Gabe pulls out all the stops once he has decided that he wants Megan.
Another wonderful Sullivan love story that makes you want to keep reading to find out who the next lucky Sullivan will be!

Chemistry, humor and heartbreak
I typically like series centered around groups of friends or siblings, but since I really hate waiting for the next book to come out (even though these are standalones), a box set seemed like a great way to get started.
There's plenty of chemistry in these books, mixed with humor (the way the single brothers teased their non-single brothers by hugging or kissing the women made me laugh every single time) and heartbreak. If you're looking for stories about talented, intelligent women, decent guys with a tendency to be alpha in the bedroom, all of whom are strong characters who mostly end up falling in love in spite of themselves, look no further. 4.5 stars for the set. Individual story reviews follow.
The Look of Love, book 1
We originally get introduced to all the siblings at the start of book 1, and I have to admit to being a bit skeptical about one family actually containing such a diverse array of talents. I really enjoyed the brief glimpses we got of the relationships between the siblings, though, and I soon got caught up in Chase's story.
Chase is a genuinely good guy and I loved how he was so determined to be patient with Chloe, and that he wanted to support her while she solved her problems rather than solving them for her. I also loved the teasing relationship Chloe and Chase quickly developed, and they had great chemistry together.
I really liked how the author tied Chloe's love of quilting into helping out with the costume for Chase's photo shoot; it added some nice depth. The story did drag for me a bit at one point, which isn't unusual for me when the plot involves abuse and the character needs to learn to trust again. While I understand intellectually why Chloe would need to take some time, having never been in the situation myself, emotionally I find myself yelling at the woman to give the poor guy a chance. Chloe did show some nice character growth over the course of the story, and the epilogue definitely had me happier than ever that this was part of a box set and I could dive right into Marcus' story. 4 stars
From This Moment On, book 2
As to be expected in this kind of series, characters from book one carry over into this story, but this can easily be read as a standalone. Like his brother Chase, Marcus is a fundamentally good guy, who happens to be looking for a one night stand--and only a one night stand--after he catches his girlfriend cheating on him.
Nicola's been betrayed as well, and is just as determined not to get hurt again, but when she meets Marcus at a club, nothing goes quite as either of them expect from that point on.
I really liked the way the author set up the differences and the similarities with these two characters, with plenty of twists to the plot to keep things interesting. There was great chemistry between the two, and as gentlemanly as Marcus is outside of the bedrock, he's definitely got dominant tendencies in the bedroom. Like the first book, the epilogue sets the stage for the next story. Bring on Gabe, the fire fighter! 4.5 stars
Can't Help Falling in Love, book 3
The author does a great job of setting up the continuity of the series with reoccurring characters while still making sure the story holds up well as a standalone. Firefighters are one of my favorite story setups, so I had high expectations for Gabe's book and it didn't disappoint. Immediately from the opening fire sequence where Gabe rescues Megan and her daughter, Summer, I was sucked into the story.
My heart broke for Megan and all she'd had to endure, Gabe was a perfect hero (even if I did want to smack him on the back of his head occasionally in spite of his injury) and Summer was adorable and I loved how Gabe was with her. The tension between the two (because they each had a hard and fast rule making the other off limits) was off the charts, and this was my favorite of the three stories in this box set. Looking forward to Sophie's story! 5 stars

I typically like series centered around groups of friends or siblings, but since I really hate waiting for the next book to come out (even though these are standalones), a box set seemed like a great way to get started.
There's plenty of chemistry in these books, mixed with humor (the way the single brothers teased their non-single brothers by hugging or kissing the women made me laugh every single time) and heartbreak. If you're looking for stories about talented, intelligent women, decent guys with a tendency to be alpha in the bedroom, all of whom are strong characters who mostly end up falling in love in spite of themselves, look no further. 4.5 stars for the set. Individual story reviews follow.
The Look of Love, book 1
We originally get introduced to all the siblings at the start of book 1, and I have to admit to being a bit skeptical about one family actually containing such a diverse array of talents. I really enjoyed the brief glimpses we got of the relationships between the siblings, though, and I soon got caught up in Chase's story.
Chase is a genuinely good guy and I loved how he was so determined to be patient with Chloe, and that he wanted to support her while she solved her problems rather than solving them for her. I also loved the teasing relationship Chloe and Chase quickly developed, and they had great chemistry together.
I really liked how the author tied Chloe's love of quilting into helping out with the costume for Chase's photo shoot; it added some nice depth. The story did drag for me a bit at one point, which isn't unusual for me when the plot involves abuse and the character needs to learn to trust again. While I understand intellectually why Chloe would need to take some time, having never been in the situation myself, emotionally I find myself yelling at the woman to give the poor guy a chance. Chloe did show some nice character growth over the course of the story, and the epilogue definitely had me happier than ever that this was part of a box set and I could dive right into Marcus' story. 4 stars
From This Moment On, book 2
As to be expected in this kind of series, characters from book one carry over into this story, but this can easily be read as a standalone. Like his brother Chase, Marcus is a fundamentally good guy, who happens to be looking for a one night stand--and only a one night stand--after he catches his girlfriend cheating on him.
Nicola's been betrayed as well, and is just as determined not to get hurt again, but when she meets Marcus at a club, nothing goes quite as either of them expect from that point on.
I really liked the way the author set up the differences and the similarities with these two characters, with plenty of twists to the plot to keep things interesting. There was great chemistry between the two, and as gentlemanly as Marcus is outside of the bedrock, he's definitely got dominant tendencies in the bedroom. Like the first book, the epilogue sets the stage for the next story. Bring on Gabe, the fire fighter! 4.5 stars
Can't Help Falling in Love, book 3
The author does a great job of setting up the continuity of the series with reoccurring characters while still making sure the story holds up well as a standalone. Firefighters are one of my favorite story setups, so I had high expectations for Gabe's book and it didn't disappoint. Immediately from the opening fire sequence where Gabe rescues Megan and her daughter, Summer, I was sucked into the story.
My heart broke for Megan and all she'd had to endure, Gabe was a perfect hero (even if I did want to smack him on the back of his head occasionally in spite of his injury) and Summer was adorable and I loved how Gabe was with her.

I love a good boxset basically for it's almost never-ending reading. It's always just a little disappointing when you get done with a book and there is nothing left to read. Except when you get a box set you simply move on to the next book. You don't really have to face reality until the last book in the series. Bella Andres Sullivan Series goes on for many books so by the time you finish this series you can start over! EIGHT brothers and sisters!!! I can only imagine the chaos that could ensue from this many siblings but the love there is amazing. What a group!
THE LOOK OF LOVE
This was a great introduction to the series. Chase and Chloe were really a good match, but trying to get Chloe to see that was something. Would she or wouldn't she bolt? It was fun to watch how Chase integrated her into his life. This story had a lil bit o drama...which I love because it brings in the side element of a little danger. Keeps you on edge a bit. The Look of Love gets 4 stars.
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
Marcus really met his match in Nicola. Responsible head of the family meets seemingly irresponsible popstar. On the surface how could these two ever work? Loved the scene where she commandeers his phone for a safety call. OF ALL PEOPLE TO CALL! This couple will be interesting to get peeks at in the rest of the series, it will be fun to see where they go! Giving From This Moment On 4 Stars
CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
This is my favorite so far. Any time you add in a child it adds to the emotional risk and totally ups the angst factor. Gabe and Megan really shouldn't work...I could see the reasoning behind why Megan didn't want to get pulled into this relationship. But her little girl, Summer, had other ideas. The shenanigans that girl came up with! She truly made this story and I loved watching Gabe and Summer's bond grow through the whole book.
This series was a win for me. Reading time for all three books took just over 7 hours. If you are binge reader you could easily work this book in to a lazy Saturday...and if you are not, breaking it down into smaller reads works just as well! This book got 5 stars from me.
I am giving The Sullivans Box Set Books 1-3 5 stars...because the books Can't Help Falling in Love really pulled at me. I laughed and cried during that book which is always a win for me!

This is a boxed set of books 1-3 of The San Francisco Sullivans series. These books can be read as individual standalone novels. For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this amazing series in order intended.
Book 1: The Look Of Love
Chloe is rescued in the dark of night by none other than Chase Sullivan. He can see she has already been through it. He invites her to stay and gets to know her better.
Chase is seriously attracted to Chloe. She seems to feel the same. When it all comes down to it, asking her to stay was the best choice of all.
These characters are so much fun to read! The family is full of charming and witty people who just happened to be hot. The setting is dreamy, and this story is just the perfect side of sizzling!
Book 2: From This Moment On
Marcus meets Nicola and falls nearly at her feet. While he helps and protects her, she cannot help but respond to the serious and caring man inside. When he finds out who she is will his feelings change?
Nicola is so glad to finally have a chance with someone who knows nothing of her past. A man could be more than intimidated by the garbage out there about her. Being in the public eye makes her more than wary of the men she meets.
Such a sweet and almost fairy tale story that touched me deep. I was so pleased at the end I actually clapped! I love these characters and I am excited to read more.
Book 3: Can't Help Falling In Love
Gabe has been burned both professionally and personally. As a firefighter, he is always giving of himself. He needs a true partner in every sense of the word.
Megan feels she owes the men who helped save her and her daughter. Meeting Gabe feels like a dream. Is there a future that can be real?
This was a slow burn in the romance. I love how it got hotter, and a family was such a treat to read about. The recurring characters in this series make it all worthwhile.
Every page was easy to turn to the next, and then the next. I am eager to read more in this amazing series. The Sullivans are truly character's in every sense of the word.

The Sullivans boxed set – Books 1-3
By Bella Andre
5 stars
Reviewed on behalf of 3 Degrees of Fiction Book Blog
I absolutely loved this box set – I don’t know how I have never read anything by this author before! The three books in this box set were so beautifully written and had the best characters in it that I have read about in a long time. Each story was different and each set of characters had a different story to tell. I loved Chase, Marcus and Gabe! And that was only three of those sexy brothers! I can’t wait to read more about this family!
The Look of Love
This story was just so beautiful! I loved Chase and Chloe. He was everything that she needed in a man, he was kind, caring and showed her something that she had not experienced before. I really can understand her reluctance to trust him but he was just such an amazing character! I think he is definitely up there on my book boyfriend list. It was a nice, sweet romance story and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
From this Moment on
After reading book 1 I didn’t think anyone could live up to Chase but then came along Marcus! Where are these brothers coming from? They are just super sweet and so respectful! I loved Marcus and Nicola’s story! I really respected Nicola and how she wanted to proceed with the relationship with Marcus – I totally understood why she did what she did at the beginning. I could really sense the loneliness of these two individual and I desperately wanted them to end up together!
Can’t help falling love
Ahhh another brother to try and steal my heart and this time it was Gabe! AND he is a firefighter – double swoon!!! I loved this story just as much as the other two. Again it was beautifully written and I was captivated form the start! Whilst I found Megan a little more frustrating than the females in the first two books I still liked their story.
Overall I have really enjoyed this box set and I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author!

This boxed set is the first three books about some of the Sullivan siblings, and it was AWESOME! The Look of Love is the story of the broken Chloe, and the successful photographer, Chase Sullivan, who is an all around good guy. He rescues her on one the worst nights of her life, and slowly tries to fix her, but will she let him protect her when push comes to shove? From This Moment On is about the eldest Sullivan, Marcus, and the pop star, Nicola Harding, who is known throughout the world as Nico. Both she and Marcus carry some scars from past relationships, but that doesn't cool down the connection they instantly share. And then there's Can't Help Falling In Love, which is about the yummy fireman Sullivan, Gabe, and single mother Megan Harris. He saves her, and her daughter, from a burning building, so she owes him everything. But neither of them are ready to gamble their hearts again, although they can't stop thinking about each other. This was the first time that I've read anything by Bella Andre, and I have been missing out! Her talented writing style instantly captured my attention, and held it cover to cover, so I didn't move until I devoured every page of this box set in one day. The Sullivans are some seriously yummy men, and the women that they come across are all amazing & realistic. Witty banter kept me laughing with the well placed humorous moments, and the added in twists kept the colorful metaphors coming. This author has instantly become a new addiction for me, and I CANNOT WAIT to start reading everything she's put out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The look of Love :
Running from an encounter with her ex husband, in which she had received a bruised cheek, Chloe ended up with a car in a ditch during a hailstorm and a stranger trying to entrance her into his car. Although her night had been one disaster after another, Chase, the stranger, was not what her sixth senses considered a threat, not in the physical harm way, but more in the sensual overload situation.
Neither Chloe or Chase was aware that their lives were changed forever by this encounter in the rain.
From this moment on:
Both people in this story, Marcus and Nicola aka Nico, go out looking for a one night stand, and due to their own charisma are drawn to each other. The night does not go as planned, and fate throws in its hand to bring them a second chance. The two people are poles apart in their own lives, and yet they click on all levels.
This is a gritty romance, with intensity in emotions and segments that make you laugh at the complete obsurbiity of the situation being portrayed, and yet the probability of it actually happening.
Yes, I enjoyed the journey that the writer took us on.
Can't help falling in Love
We all have issues that send us into night terrors. This story has two people, Meagan and Gabe, each with their own terrors, that they have devised ways to stay away from. Gabe's is never getromantically involved with a fire victim. Meagan and daughter Summer were fire victims. Meagan does never want to get involved with a man in a dangerous occupation.: Gabe is a firefighter.
Despite the measures these two have taken chemistry and fate combine to thwart them.
Again, a marvelous read, one I laughed over as well as was holding my breath to find out what happened next.

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Pump Up Your Book in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
The Sullivans by Bella Andre (Boxed Set Books 1-3) was a great set of books. I have gone back and forth on how I want to review the set. I think I am just going to talk about them as a whole and not focus so much on the details from each of the stories. I am doing it this way because each of the stories is different stories, but they all follow the same pattern. I have loved this author and her books for years and years so when I saw I could get these to review I knew I had to get them. I loved this series because you are following along with the one family and you are always getting to check in with the characters from the other books. I love this author writing, and I can’t wait to finish this series and check out other books by her as well. I found myself getting lost in the stories and I was able to read the books super quick, and they were great books that I would pick up and read when I was bored with the other books I had to read. If you love romance books, I will check out this book because I am sure you will love it as much as I did.

I was asked by the author for an honest review. These are the first books I've read by Bella Andre.
The Look of Love
Rating: 3
The Look of Love was okay, but not very exciting or emotional. I liked the characters and the Sullivan family sounds really interesting. I'd recommended this book for someone who likes drawn out love scenes (though they may have just seemed drawn out due to the lack of other events/detail in the book.)
From This Moment On
Rating: 3
From This Moment On was good, but doesn't stand out from other books I've read. I still liked the family as a whole and the premise of the book, even though I'd call it good rather than great.
Can't Help Falling In Love
Rating 3.5
I liked Can't Help Falling In Love the most of the three in this set. The storyline of a firefighter and a single mom interested me.
Overall the books were good, light reads. The other Sullivan family members sound more interesting to me (perhaps because we've seen them in three books now), so I will probably continue reading the series in hopes that I like the later books more. I did like that these three books came as a set because the timeline continues right from one book to the next. They could be read of order, but it would be better to read them in order.

I've read some of the other Sullivan books earlier; The Look of Love was one of those, but I reread it as it has been a while and I wanted to see how I felt about it now.
The Look of Love - Chloe is fleeing an abusive ex-husband when she meets Chase Sullivan, one of eight siblings who are all gorgeous-looking and mostly well-to-do. Chase is the photographer of the family. He and Chloe immediately hit it off and fall into bed while Chase is doing a photo shoot at his brother's vineyard.
From This Moment On - Marcus, the oldest Sullivan and owner of the vineyard that's the setting for the first book, meets Nicola, or Nico, famous pop star and they fall into bed.
Can't Help Falling in Love - Gabe Sullivan is a firefighter in San Francisco and rescues Megan and her daughter in a fire. They are immediately attracted to each other and fall into bed.
All three books follow the same basic plotline: There's a tiny bit of story to set up each meeting, then chapters and chapters of sex scenes, then a resolution where the couples marry almost immediately. These are great beach books when you just want to read something without much depth and is very sexy.

This box set introduces you to the first 3 of 8 Sullivan children. You get to meet Chase, Marcus and Gabe. Each book picks up right where the one before ended so its a continuous timeline from different POV's. I admit my favorite was the 2nd story “From this Moment On”. I flew through the book. I loved Marcus and Nicola's relationship. Both are very lonely people who find love in an unexpected place. This had sensual love scenes mixed with some great romantic gestures by Marcus. The first book felt a little bit too much of an insta love for me and dragged in certain parts but it does a great job laying the ground work for all the characters and the books to come. In the 3rd book I loved Gabe. He's a great hero. It took me a little longer to like Megan but I came around by the end. Overall all 3 are well written and I cant wait to continue on with the series.

Oh My Word!!! You have to grab this if you haven't read The Sullivan Series. You have to grab this if you enjoy a binge read. Boxed sets making binging Glorious.
The Sullivans are a family the reader becomes invested in. The author writes in away that makes you feel like you are apart of the family. Their heartbreak is your heartbreak. Their romances leave you smiling, giddy and just plain happy.
The Sullivans have become one of my favorite escapes. This past year I have reread each and every one of them. It doesn't matter how many times I have read them; they are still magnificent. They are still a joy.

Bella Andre doesn't waste anytime getting her readers hooked into this family and their lives. Each Novel and HEA really invests us more and more. I like the novels later in series like this because I feel like I've already gotten to know the characters and seen their ups and downs before we get to their HEA. We get to know them and are rooting for them even more by the time they are the stars of a novel. I loved this set of the first three and can not wait to go out and read the rest in the series.
January 24, 2018
I love series like this where you can get to know characters in a series and have glimpses of their future in different books without have their story told over years of book releases.
I think that Bella Andre really manages to evoke a barrage of emotions in her readers. She really has a way of creating novels that will touch you.
I think the plots themselves are smooth and well paced. Nothing felt forced and the most important part, each romance unfolded effortlessly. Sweet and sassy Contemporary Romances.

Wonderful stories, but...
I guess I'm getting overly-sated by whole chapters full of detailed sexual encounters. It's almost like diving into a favorite casserole, only to discover the cheese is totally unbalanced & taking away from the other great ingredients. I only removed 1 star due to the emotional factors included, but was close to removing another. I'll never stop reading books by Bella Andre, but really, Bella....???

Great start to a series
The Sullivan family is pretty amazing; gorgeous men and women, talented, strong and loving. I really enjoyed the first three books and look forward to reading all the rest. I'm looking forward to learning more about Mary, the strong mother of these awesome siblings.

I adore this Author and she never disappoints. Each one of these books will make your heart go wild. Super sexy alpha male characters that always seem to know just what to do. The female characters are sassy in their own way. Excellent writing. You don’t want to miss these books.

I love romance and this box set is more than just romance! It's about the journey of finding love in all the right places. I loved every minute of it. The Sullivan brothers are most definitely hot! I wish I had one of them all to myself. Namely Marcus lol. But I really do love them all. I hope the sisters find love too!

I was given an arc copy in exchange for an honest review. I liked the stories, however they all seemed exactly the same as the one before it, and while I do love sex in my books because its a part of a healthy relationship there was too much s and not enough. I think it could have been better had there been a little less sex and a little more story.

Chloe and Chase, Marcus and Nicola, and Gabe and Megan all have such unique yet similarly endearing stories. I love the voices Bella Andre gives to her characters. I felt connected to them each in their own ways and for different reasons.
I love the way she weaves in the storylines for secondary characters who eventually become more of a focus.

Such a great family
All of the family is so warm and close. Gable is a good looking fireman that could have any woman that he wanted. Megan came to a gathering at his mother's house where all of the family was. There was an immediate spark between them but it will take a lot to bring them together.

I have so very much enjoyed this box set. What a great introduction to this family. Each story has been different and unique, filled with passion, excitement, angst, and love. The family dynamics and interaction add another layer to each story and have me eager to learn more about each sibling.
