The Morrisons #3
Love Me Like This (Die Morrisons 3)
Acht Jahre sind vergangen, seit Justin Morrison Taylor Cardenes zum ersten Mal begegnete und sich auf den ersten Blick in sie verliebte, obwohl er wusste, dass sie ihm niemals gehören konnte. Er hat alles Menschenmögliche versucht, um sie zu vergessen – sogar einen Umzug ins Ausland –, aber sie ist immer noch die Einzige, die er jemals lieben wird.
Für eine heimliche Liebe sind acht Jahre eine verdammt lange Zeit. Taylor weiß nur zu gut, wie unmöglich es ist, einen so sexy, so liebevollen und so erfolgreichen Mann wie Justin Morrison zu vergessen. Als dieser plötzlich vor der Haustür ihrer Pension im Napa Valley auftaucht, beginnt sie daher erneut, sich nach dem Glück zu zweit zu sehnen, von dem sie immer geträumt hatte.
Taylor und Justin können einander nicht widerstehen und verbringen eine Zeitlang heiße, wilde Nächte miteinander, gefolgt von wunderschönen, romantischen Morgenstunden, in denen sie den Sonnenaufgang über den Weinbergen genießen. Es sieht ganz so aus, als könnten sie endlich die Chance auf die Liebe bekommen, auf die sie gewartet haben. Aber wird das Geheimnis, das Taylor bis jetzt gehütet hat, am Ende alles zerstören?

Another one day read for me from the incomparable Bella Andre. Love Me Like This was both heartbreaking and heart-warming. Justin and Taylor were two of the sweetest, lovable characters that I have read in a while. They both made me smile and they both made me cry. I loved the tenacity of both of them and couldn't have been prouder of them or all of the Morrison's. Justin was sexy and utterly romantic. Taylor was a strong, independent woman.
As Taylor secret comes out, her worst fear is realized. Now, decisions need to be made and she refuses to let anyone influence her. She is enjoying the B&B, she is enjoying her life even though it may be cut short. She is really enjoying having her best friend back in her life and declaring his love for her. Her days are filled with joy and her nights are filled with love. She will go along with his plans for the time being but, when the time comes, she doesn't know what her decision will be.
Justin has loved Taylor from the moment he met her. He would do anything for her including give any part of himself to her. One fateful, drunken night drove them apart and after finding her again, he won't let anything stop him from claiming her and showing her just how much he loves her. He'll move heaven and earth to help her. He'll start his quest to cure Breast Cancer over to be with her. He'll show her love, happiness and romance until the end of time, if she lets him.
As the Morrison's come together to celebrate Drew and Ashley's wedding, love abounds all around Justin and Taylor. No, not everyone is on board with Justin's decision but, they love Taylor, love that she befriended their mother when she needed her most, love that her feelings for Justin are just as strong as his and could only hope for the best for both of them. But, the night holds other things for Justin and Taylor and, this could be the beginning of the end or the beginning of the rest of their lives, together and with the blessing of those closest to them.
I love Bella Andre and the way she writes a story. She knows how to bring out the feelings of her characters. She knows how to write romance and love and draw you into their lives. She may put her characters through some turmoil but it always makes them more determined to face life head-on, to love harder and to love longer.

Justin and Taylor were best friends in college. While they secretly were interested in the other, they never got past best friends because Taylor had a fiancé back home. So, after graduation, Taylor goes home to her fiancé and Justin leaves for Germany heart broken.
Fast forward 5 years, and Justin has come home for one of his siblings’ weddings and a family visit. His family has arranged for him to spend some time at a B & B just a little ways from them that Taylor has opened.
When these two reunite, they catch up and old feelings ignite. His family conspired to get them together while Taylor’s mom was not too happy. However, Taylor is keeping a secret. Once the secret is revealed, we watch as they work to figure it all out.
This is my first Morrison book of the series, so I only know the background given about them in this book. For having a fiancé back home, Taylor seemed to have spent a lot of time during her college years with the Morrison family, as they all knew her well. I can’t imagine any fiancé being ok with her spending so much time with another guy and his family. And her fiancé never visited her one time during 4 years of college?
Why do the male characters have to turn into a manwhore in an attempt to try to get the one they really want out of their heart and head? “I know I was a player in college, but that was only because I couldn’t have you.” Rolling my eyes.
Five years is a long time to harbor such intense feelings for someone you no longer keep in touch with. Told in dual POV, this is a second chance romance. While this is a typical Bella Andre book, I just wasn’t feeling it this time.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by the author.

This was a nice, light and sweet read, very easy on the mind.
Eight years have passed since Justin Morrison first laid eyes on Taylor Cardenes and fell head over heels in love with her, thinking he never stood a chance her friendship was one he savoured, life and an awkward moment got in the way of their friendship but now they’ve found their way back to one another (with more than a little help from Justin’s siblings), he is determined to be with the only woman he has ever truly wanted/loved. For her part Taylor is delighted to have the friends and man she ahs always loved back in her life, but she’s holding on tight to a secret in an attempt to ensure he doesn’t look at her differently.
99p on Amazon 26th October 2019.

Seriously! Bella Andre’s books need to come with a serious warning label. Seriously. Her men. Whooaaa… the heroes in her books are just…Whoa…
If you’re read a Bella Andre book before, you know what I’m taking about. (And if you haven’t read her before- you gotta start now!). The men she writes in her books are the perfect blend of Prince Charming meets Alpha Male meets swoon worthy superhero. I just love her heroes. And it’s hard for me to say this because I love all her books, but Justin Morrison, well, OMG, he’s my new favorite.
Bella Andre’s Love Me Like This is the third book in the Morrison Family series and honestly; I’ve been waiting for this book for forever. The series started out as a new adult- with Kiss Me Like This when Justin’s brother was a star baseball player in college when he fell for a young actress/model. You don’t have to read ther other Morrisons to enjoy Love Me Like This but no one does families better than Bella so you’ll want to read the other books in this series too.
While the first two books dealt with a baseball star and a rock star, in Love Me Like This Justin is a brilliant scientist and this story is a little deeper and you’ll probably needs some tissues. My emotions were all over the place. I loved Taylor and Justin and their interactions and history. Their struggles also broke my heart as I rooted for them to find their HEA.
This story had the emotions, the love, the family dynamics and a great heroine with the perfect hero. You’ll love this 5 star read. Promise!
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this novel. I am voluntarily and freely providing an honest review.

In the third installment to the Morrisons series, Bella Andre delights readers with a sweet best friends to lovers story. It’s been a long time since Justin Morrison was able to spend some quality time with his longtime friend, Taylor. So when he finally gets a chance off of work to stay at her B&B, Justin has no idea where things are going to go until it happens.
Taylor has always harbored a secret crush on Justin. Although she works hard, she has a certain vulnerability to her that makes me very concerned and attached to her character. Taylor’s illness isn’t something that you often read about in books, so I thought it was something different for this author. I thought it was a great way to create sympathy for Taylor, but also show her strength as a person and survivor. I ended up really liking this touch.
LOVE ME LIKE THIS is a very easy read. Andre’s writing style is always so eloquent and free-flowing, making it easy to devour this book in a single sitting. So if you like your stories sweet, with a great focus on romance, then you’ll definitely enjoy this novel.

Love Me Like This was Bella Andre’s third book in the Morrisons series. I love this series and am always awaiting the next release.
Justin was Sean’s twin brother (Kiss Me Like This, book one). We knew that he had a crush on his best friend in college, Taylor Cardenes, but we didn’t know many details. Now five years later, they are both well into their careers, have drifted apart and we meet them again.
It was a sweet story, with a secondary storyline as the main focus. And although Justin was smart and sexy, the sex scenes were understated; still a graphic scene or two, but not the main focus and was minimal. It can be difficult to write a story when two characters have a second chance because they typically do it right the second time around, thus it can be a challenge to keep it interesting. Andre overcame this challenge through creating an emotional secondary plot. She then took us through a realistic perspective of the raw decisions and outcomes. No spoilers here, so no hints at the plot, but know it was well written, fast paced, intriguing, well worth the read and the entire Morrison clan weighed in.
Andre gave us teasers for Olivia and Grant on who could be the next Morrison to fall, but no confirmation yet. It could also be the delightful and fun youngest sibling, Maddie. Either way, it promises to be another interesting saga and I can’t wait.

My Goodness! Bella It took time to launch this third book of the Morrisons but it worth...
In the first book Sean tells to Serena about his twin brother Justin's friendship with Taylor.... but now the years have passed, and Justin and Taylor were apart, he doing research on breast cancer in Germany and she is in Napa Valley inaugurating a B & B and Justin will be her first guest.
This book shows what maturity can do by turning two best friends into companions, lovers, accomplices in joy and sadness, health and illness. A book with a beautiful love story that shows the strength of love, friendship and family.
I cried with the tenderness and strength of Justin and Taylor's love.

Wow, this was my first “Morrison” Family love story I have read and what a story it was. Unrequited love, second chance romance, and best friends to lovers all in one story. Justin and Taylor are a beautiful couple. Justin suffered the loss of his mom 6 years ago and like the rest of his family he was devastated. During his time in college, he slowly fell in love with his best friend Taylor and Taylor was falling in love with him too. Taylor unfortunately had a boyfriend back home. So, here is where the unrequited love comes in. Justin unexpectedly makes a career move to Germany to research a cure for breast cancer. Slowly the friendship slips away over the course of the next 5 years. Justin returns for his brother’s wedding. During the time Justin is gone Taylor finally decides to step up and chase her real dreams which do not include working as a scientist. She renovates the home she inherits from her grandfather into a B&B. Wanna guess who her first guest is? Yep, you got it!! Justin. Taylor has been keeping a secret. She has a very serious disease and needs a new kidney. Guess the donor yet? Right here is where I wish there was maybe another twist, maybe the match could be someone totally unexpected. This is a beautifully written story and I am completely in love with the Morrison Family. Excited to read more. I was crying way before the ending came. I do love a good second chance romance and this is one of the good ones. Bella Andre wrote another well written love story with great characters. They seem so real I want to be a part of this family or any family written by Bella. I received an ARC for an honest review.

So happy to get to the store of Taylor and Justin!
Justin and Taylor started their romance in earlier Morrisons books, but because Taylor was basically betrothed they never got together. To avoid his feelings for Taylor, Justin took a job in Germany, and never really looked back until coming home fore his brother's wedding five years later. Unknowingly to Justin, his siblings arranged a second chance for a HEA!
Taylor has broken free of what everyone else wants for her and has followed her dreams by opening a Bed Breakfast in Napa Valley. Taylor has another struggle in her life causing her reunion with Justin to be clouded by his past.
Beautiful, touching, heartwarming, and of course, hot! I highly recommend reading "Love Me Like This"! It was a quick read so grab this book and curl up with a cozy blanket, you wont want to put it down!

I have always loved every single Bella book that I’ve managed to read because her characters are so relatable, and realistic. All the situations that occur within her stories will also most likely happen in reality too.
Justin asked his sisters to arrange a holiday for him but he didn’t expect his sisters to send him to the B&B where Taylor, his friend and long term crush lived/owned and worked.
I love Taylor, she’s hardworking, resilient and wears her heart on her sleeve at the best of times. It made sense to me that they bonded in the past and that the bond eventually evolved into pure love and affection for each other.
I love the interaction of Justin’s family with Tyalor and vice versa. Taylor used to have a boyfriend so Justin never tried to date her, but he’s always been in love with her which is why I smiled so much when they got their happy ending.
5 stars

I absolutely adore Justin & Taylor’s story! It is such a sweet, emotional and heartwarming love story. I also love his family! The Morrison’s are such a great big meddling, loving and wonderful bunch of people. I love how they are all there for each other and really step up when any support is needed.
Justin & Taylor had always just been friends since they met in college. But now thanks to Taylor not having a boyfriend any longer and Justin’s family setting him up at Taylor’s new B&B in Napa, they have a chance to reconnect and finally tell each other how they really feel and have always felt about each other. From the moment they see each other again the air crackles and one thing leads to another. They have some very sizzling sexy times. There is just one small problem; Taylor has a secret that is preventing her from going all in. Something she really needs to tell Justin because he has a right to know especially now.
Can they get past whatever she is hiding? Will Justin abide by her wishes? Can love really conquer all?
So many moments tugged at my heartstrings and I went on an emotional roller coaster ride with tissue in hand and just loved it!!!

Bella Andre is back with another wonderful installment in her wonderful Morrisons series. While I fell in love with her books first with the Sullivans, I have to say I fall in love with each new story Ms. Andre writes.
Let me just say I absolutely loved Justin and Taylor's story from beginning to end. The fact they both had been in love with each other from the moment they met gave me happy sighs. The fact they each waited eight years to admit their feelings to one another absolutely had me shaking my head. I was so glad Justin's sisters stepped in and got him a reservation at Taylor's new B&B when he came home for his brother's wedding.
I loved Justin and Taylor picked up being best friends again from the moment they saw each other again. I loved their friendship was a priority between them no matter else would be going on going forward. The fact they were insanely attracted to one another and wanted to spend every minute together gave me all the feels. I also loved the chemistry between Justin and Taylor was so strong. Once they finally gave into their attraction, I loved they really couldn't stay away from one another.
I will say I was surprised Taylor was so hesitant to share her big secret with Justin initially. They were so close and I just knew he would move heaven and earth to help her in any way possible. I have to say Justin handled learning about Taylor's illness just as I expected. He wanted to figure out a cure and offered to donate one of his own kidneys when he discovers she needs a transplant to save her life. I have to say this part of the story could have become way too medical if handled differently and I absolutely loved while the seriousness was never downplayed, it never took away from the romance in the story. I also loved Justin's family members being honest about concerns with the plan yet understanding in the end how it had to be. I can't say that I wouldn't be questioning my brother if he needed to do something like this for the love of his life and I loved that bit of normalcy being shown.
Love Me Like This was another wonderful story from Bella Andre. I both laughed and cried while reading this story and have to say I adore any book that makes me feel multiple emotions while reading.

What a treat to revisit this family that I didn't realize how much I'd been missing! As the 3rd book in the Morrison's series, Love Me Like This is a standalone but interconnected story and reading prior books isn't necessary to follow along however there are major spoilers for prior books. It's a beautiful best friends to lovers/second chance romance that brings all the swoon that Andre could possibly deliver and then some. It's an emotional read that will hit you in the feels as both Justin and Taylor deal with some heavy situations that threaten their future all while rediscovering each other in new ways in this beautiful story.

This is not my first Bella Andre book, but it is my first Morrison's book.
I was hesitant when I started this book because I thought it was going to be full of angst, tears, and heartache. I should have known better. After all, this is a Bella Andre book.
Once again, she met and exceeded the challenge of creating, a strong couple who were not only loving and supportive, but had strong family support. She hits you with every emotion; love, fear, sadness, anger, frustration, etc., and ultimately an under happiness.
Justin and Taylor touch your heart as they reconnect and work through an issue that at minimum would be daunting. They get a second chance and they make sure it is not wasted.
You are pulled into Justin and Taylor's world, and that is where you live until you turn the last page.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.

I received Love Me Like This from the publisher exchange for an honest review. Every time I pick up one if Bella's novel I can't help but think I won't love it as much as the previous ones. But she manages to make me love her books even more. Love Me Like This is the story about two college best friends that keep their true feelings for one another a secret for 8 years. There is some health issues for one of them. Will they speak on their love for one another? Read Love Me Like This to find out.
This was my first encounter with the Morrison family. I
absolutely loved it. I will be reading more from this series in the future. 5/5 stars. Happy Reading, Ashley

I received this book as an ARC reader, and I give my honest opinion.
Bella wrote the Sullivan 18 books ago, and still writing the families stories. True testament to the great stories and talent to write romance novels.
This book 3 — Justin and Taylor’s story. They met in college and love at first site but they didnt tell each other. Years later Justin’s family knew it was time for him to stop working so hard and reunite Justin with Taylor. Taylor inherits her grandfather house, and she opens a B&B. The reunion being long over dues they get to know each other again and life throw challenges that bring them closer together.
I highly recommend this and all of the Sullivan stories.

Tear jerker of a book, 5 STARS plus rating. I was enraptured right from beginning. Taylor a young, strong independent woman running a B&B fighting a kidney disease. Her best friend from college and crush, Justin still in love with her visiting for his brother’s wedding. Justin was still grieving a great loss, his mom passing during his college years. This is a love story, that you can definitely say; “ love at first sight”. Beautifully written & so magical, I was hoping for an extended epilogue. Fabulous book, a must buy and one click. Bravissima Bella Andre

This is a great 2nd chance romance story. Taylor and Justin we the best of friends in college. One night they got drunk and kissed. The next day Taylor back tracked, gave the excuse about being drunk and not meaning to cross a line. Justin took it a face value. Then he was sent to Germany on a grant for research. 5 years later Justin is back in town for a family wedding, and reunited with Taylor. He wants to start up what he had always wanted in college. Taylor did not want to start anything because of the timing in her life. But life has a funny way of making things show up just when you need them. There were a couple parts that had me on the edge of freaking out or crying. I was happy that they got together and had a chance to work through things. Families had to put their opinions in. She had her ex-boyfriend show up to throw a wrench in the mix. The twists and pieces of drama had me not wanting to put the book down.

Years ago I fell in love with Kiss Me Like This by Bella Andre, the first book in her Morrisons New Adult series. Andre released two books in the series, but it's been years waiting for the next book. She's finally released it, but it's not New Adult now, it's adult romance, which is okay with me. Love Me Like This by Bella Andre is exactly what I was expecting and I really enjoyed this one.
Love Me Like This is about Justin Morrison and Taylor Cardenes. They met in college and were the best of friends. But secretly Justin was a bit in love with her. Taylor had a boyfriend, so he never pushed it and they stayed friends. But finally Justin decided that he need to get some space from Taylor because he couldn't move past her. So he took a job out of the country, and over the years they lost touch. Well, now Justin and Taylor are all grown up, and Justin's siblings conspire to get them together. So Justin ends up staying at Taylor's brand new Bed and Breakfast. And of course, they cannot deny their feelings anymore.
As is typical with a Bella Andre book, both Justin and Taylor were very easy to love. Justin has been working day and night trying to find a cure for cancer (a disease that took his mother's life). And Taylor, after spending years in an occupation she didn't love, decided to open up her own Bed and Breakfast. They are both such hard workers, and I loved that about them.
Justin has been away from his family, for a long time, and he misses his family. He might be ready to move back to the states. Taylor has a pretty big thing she's dealing with, and it's intense and scary. This big thing can definitely cause some struggles in a relationship, especially a new one.
It was so great to see these two reconnect and finally confess their feelings for each other. Taylor's big secret, though, is a game changer. I loved how Justin immediately wanted to do everything he could for Taylor. Taylor's stubbornness did sometimes frustrate me though.
Love Me Like This was also high on the cheese factor. That is somewhat common in Bella Andre's books, and usually it's not quite so over the top, but it was here. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but it did cause me to roll my eyes a bit. Eva Kaminsky was a great narrator, as she usually is for Bella Andre's books.
Fans of big family romances, with very sweet characters and low angst would probably really enjoy Love Me Like This. I do prefer most of her Sullivan books to this one, but it's still a good read.This review was originally posted on Quinn's Book Nook

Original review: A Novel Glimpse
Note: This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased opinion.
3.5 Stars
Justin and Taylor started their romance back in earlier The Morrisons books, but they never got together. Things — especially Taylor having a boyfriend — kept them apart. In order to avoid his feelings for Taylor, Justin took a job in Germany. But now he’s back and he’s got a chance to win Taylor’s heart. Only Taylor doesn’t think she’s able to give it to Justin. She’s got a big secret she’s been keeping all these years they’ve been friends.
Love Me Like This is a classic contemporary romance. It’s written in third person dual point of view. Taylor and Justin get to tell their sides of why they never ended up together in college along with their regrets. They also get to experience a second chance to make things right.
In the back of my mind (it’s been a couple of years since I read that last The Morrisons book), I can remember Justin and Taylor. I liked them and was eager to get their story. I remember loving the whole best friends aspect and hoping they would become more. Love Me Like This isn’t exactly what I had hoped for them, though. The past two books in the series were new adult romances. This one is an adult contemporary romance set ten years after college. I really wanted another new adult romance. It was a cute story, but it didn’t work 100% for me. I just have a really hard time believing these two harbored such intense feelings after one kiss and ten years later. That’s a long time to pine after someone you’ve maybe talked to but haven’t seen.
Don’t get me wrong. I still liked Justin and Taylor. I still enjoyed their romance. Love Me Like This was a classic Bella Andre romance. It was a sweet, sexy romance filled with family members from past books slipped in here and there for quick updates. Fans of Andre’s are sure to love it. I just wanted something a little different.

I LOVE THE MORRISSON FAMILY!!! I love the Morrison family as much as I love the Sullivan family!!! I love the way Ms. Andre’s books ALWAYS remind me of the love of “family”. I was recently visiting family in the Erie area of Pennsylvania. While I was there we drove thru Northeast which is wine country in PA. Seeing all the lines of grape vines, I could imagine some of the scenes that took place in this book. Unfortunately, the vines I saw were bare, and the ground was covered in snow and it was a lot colder. Brrr.
Okay, back to this phenomenal book. Justin and Taylor…. O. M. G. The love between these two. To be able to find a love like this…. sigh. Coming back together after eight years only to realize the friendship was still there as well as the love that each unknowingly felt for the other was still there and getting even stronger. I do not want to give ANYthing away, so I am not going to say more. I will say Justin will prove to you just how much he loves Taylor.
This is a wonderfully emotional book. I cried like a baby several times. The hardest cry, when Michael read the letter that Lisa wrote to Justin and Taylor, to be read at their wedding. OMG, did I cry!!
Thank you, Ms. Andre, for gifting me with an ARC of this phenomenal book. It has greatly helped me through a challenging time of the year. I cannot define how much I LOVED this book.
I know this, I cannot wait to see which family member has the next book. There were hints about each and every family member, except maybe one… Michael. Hmmmmm.
Thank you for reading my review of this simply amazing book. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did. So, what are you waiting for? It releases January 24th at all vendors:

I absolutely love reading anything written by Bella Andre and once again she delivers. Book 3 in The Morrisons Series can be read as a standalone and takes place 5 years after book 2 ends which initially I wasn’t too sure about however, it works in this book.
Justin Morrison and Taylor Cardenes reconnect after going in different directions after college. Justin now works in a medical research facility in Germany and Taylor owns a B & B in the Napa Valley. They have loved one another since they met 8 years ago at College, but never let the other know as they didn’t want to ruin their friendship.
5 years after they last saw each other, Justin is tricked by his sisters into going to Taylor’s B & B for a rest. Immediately all their old feelings resurface. In the picturesque Napa Valley will they finally be able to act on their feelings or will a secret that Taylor is hiding come between them?
This is a beautiful, heartwarming story that can be read as a standalone and enjoyed even more after reading books 1 and 2 in the series, as you get to reconnect with the characters in the previous books, as well as all of the other Morrisons. I can’t wait to read the next book now!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3 Sickly Sweet Stars
This author is such a weakness on my heart I cant help but grab every release by her.
I was a sucker for the Sullivan’s and this is my first Morrison book.
I know going into this author’s books everything is very Summer Romance and you always get a unique and special happily ever after.
This story is about Taylor and Justin. Taylor and Justin have been friends since they can rememeber and had a falling out in college. Fast forward 8 years where Taylor is single and starting a B&B in California and Justin is trying to cure breast cancer in Germany.
This relationship is built on one kiss that was G rated 8 years ago and the two scattered away from it
Now … if you can accept and cherish the above sentence you will LOVEEE this book
If you cant .. it will probably be a 3 because that one sentence is pivitol to the plot twist in this book that I couldn’t accept. I can usually accept most Here is our struggle, the two MC’s overcome it, they get married, 3 kids later life is amazing but this one… no I cant accept it because its too detached from the story. It needed MORE

Have you ever had a crush on a friend & been afraid to tell them? Been crushed that they've been with someone else & not you? Justin & Taylor have lived that life. They were lab partners in college & from the moment they met, they were two peas in a pod. They were the best of friends. Taylor was there for Justin when his mom was diagnosed with cancer & saw firsthand what the entire family went through. After college, Justin went to Germany & buried himself in his work to find a cure for the disease that took his mom but also to avoid the lull left in his life when he cut Taylor off. Taylor was taking the "easy" path with the job & boyfriend that her parents liked for her until something happened to change her path. Now she runs a b & b in St. Helena & Justin's siblings send him for a week's stay. Will Justin & Taylor find the courage to expose their feelings?
I love this story! I laughed, I cried, & I felt such emotion! Bella Andre has given a wonderful set of characters with deep emotion & strength. When setbacks come up, they rely on the strength of their friendship & feelings for each other. They each know how far they can push each other & when to pull back. The story of Justin's mother's death & the impact in the family was treated in a way that showed the depth of grief & despair without being dark & depressing. The interactions between the main characters & the supporting ones showed the emotional & physical support most families show in such instances. The descriptive prose enables the reader to picture the scenes in their mind while reading. This is Book 3 in the series but it can be read as a stand alone.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
After years of being best friends, holding back on their true feelings, and eventually losing touch, Justin Morrison and Taylor Cardenes find their way back to each other, with a teeny tiny bit of help from the Morrison family. Once seeing each other again, they fall back in step as if the years apart didn’t happen. However, the reunion is not without any complications: Taylor has some issues that would take Justin back to a time when his own life was in turmoil. Can they overcome this obstacle and finally find happiness and love with each other?
I feel like a member of the family when I say “finally!!!”
Finally, we get to see Justin and Taylor together. Because they’ve been in the periphery of the last 2 books, the story flowed really quickly for me. There weren’t any of the meet cute stuff or early relationship angst. The book was at times funny, always romantic, very sexy, and poignant. I love how Justin was so sure of his feelings for Taylor and his unwavering support for what she is going through, as well as Taylor’s strength in the face of her health issues and her determination to get better and move forward to have a life together. As always, Lisa Morrison’s letters bring me to tears. Highlighting the Napa/St Helena area was such a treat! I would say my favorite scene is the Napa Valley Wine Train tour! 😍
This book was a long time coming but so worth the wait. A great addition to the Morrison series. I wonder who the next Morrison sibling would fall? Hope we won’t have to wait too long! Kudos Bella for another winner!

I liked this one but I sort of had to go with a couple of things. The first being Justin and Taylor picking up things after not seeing each other for over 5 years. Sure they were BFF's in college, sure each had a crush on each other yet never did anything about it. So I found it a bit odd that this time they both acted on things. The other thing that was odd for me was that of course Justin was a match for Taylor. The odds of that had to be slight. As long as I just went with those things I liked these 2 as a couple, they were cute together.
I loved the wedding at the end, loved the vows and the note from a dearly departed family member.

Still got it!
As one of my favorite “go to” authors any book by Ms. Andre is on my must buy, one click list. This series, The Morrisons, is a spin off from The Sullivan series. Often time spin offs aren’t as good as the original, but that isn’t the case here. The Morrison clan of six children are a perfect group that this author have woven great stories around. After brothers Sean and Drew got their HEA, it was fitting for Justin to be next. Pairing him with his estranged best friend, Taylor, despite her issues made for a great read.
