Adore You

Love on the Clock #1

by Nichole Rose

A chance meeting and a mechanical bull will unravel a former detective in the blink of an eye.

Jason
Miranda Dawes is the sweetest little thing I've ever seen.
I was obsessed with her the minute I met her…and then she disappeared without a trace.
Imagine my surprise when I found her at work the next morning.
And my horror when I realized something I said in the heat of the moment chased her away.
Now I'll do whatever it takes to win her back.
This little cowgirl was meant to be mine.

Miranda
Jason Kirby gave me my first ride.
On the back of a mechanical bull named White Lightning, that is.
And then I found out he was sent to babysit me…the spoiled little rich girl he loathes.
He doesn't know who I am yet, but he'll find out soon enough.
He's my new coworker.
I think he may be my first obsession too.

Warning
When this older man meets his younger woman at a bar, he falls hard and fast…right off the back of a mechanical bull. If office romance, over-the-top men, and mutual obsession make your heart pitter-patter, you're going to love Jason and Miranda. This sweet, steamy romance from Nichole Rose is chock full of all three…plus a sticky sweet and guaranteed HEA.

3.5 ⭐
Been waiting for this one and I enjoyed it! It was funny and steamyish.

Miranda is celebrating her birthday when she runs into Jason and they have a moment on a Bull that is Unforgettable, but when she finds out he's only there to babysit a spoiled rich girl she's hurt because she's that spoiled rich girl who isn't spoiled. So she runs confusing Jason.

As for Jason he was such a good guy confused about why the girl he wants runs away until he finds out they work together. He gets his answer and I love that he feels sad for hurting her now hes making sure he makes it up to her. As for Miranda.. i have to say she did annoy me with some of the things she said but glad it wasn't to bad.

We also got a sneak of the next book!! i am ready!!

Safe and steamy. Sexy former homicide detective meets not so spoiled rich girl who just wants to be treated normal.

-no cheating
-no ow drama whatsoever
-no om drama but I was disappointed that she made a date with another man the day after she meets the hero. She was up all night thinking of the hero and then she makes a date with someone else. She doesn’t follow through but I was put off by that
-virgin heroine and hero celibate for three years
-no violence
-no others after meeting
-epilogue 4 years later
-I’m looking forward to Knox’s book because I love a Russian hero. I hope there isn’t a ton of pushing away though

If you are into instalove stories like I am, you are going to flip over Nichole Rose. I read one story and she immediately rose to the top of my list of one-click authors. When I dove into Adore You, it cemented her place at the top of that list. It is an intense, passionate read full of steam and sweetness. Jason is totally gone for Miranda from the moment they meet in a bar and the feeling is mutual. They rode a mechanical bull together and she was going to go home with him that night. That was the power of the attraction between them when she had never done anything like that before. But when she finds out who he really is, she disappears, leaving him completely strung out over her. When he finds her again, it is fireworks and he is determined to do whatever it takes to make her his, forever. This was everything I look for when it comes to insta stories. The connection between them, the off the charts chemistry could power a large city. Its believable and at the same time swoon worthy, fairytale goodness. I fell in love with these characters and I cannot wait to get my hands on more from this crazy awesome author. Ten stars for Nichole Rose's Adore You!

Holy mother of God! This was was awesome! And hot as hell! And Jason...oh Jason.. he was too freaking sexy! I was afraid I might combust from the heat between him and Miranda. Holy smokes! I'll never think about a mechanical bull the same way. Ever!
Please I need more! And I need Knox and Lauren's book now!

Very sweet read. Reads fast. Flows well. Lots of steam.

The couple: Jason and Miranda

Romance genre: insta-love
Series: Love on the Clock
Length: 106 pages

Plot: Miranda is wealthy, but she's not a spoiled brat like some people might assume - people like Jason, who's been hired to keep a watch over her. He meets her one night out at a bar and is instantly enchanted, but he says something uncomplimentary and then finds out who she is. He has a lot of making up to do because Miranda is hurt that he, of all people, can't see past his prejudices and assumptions. But luckily for Jason, they actually work at the same place (which they didn't know to begin with); now he has a chance to prove that he's not that inconsiderate hurtful guy she thinks he is.

Commentary: A lot of Nichole Rose's books have a misunderstanding of some sort, usually something small that is easily resolved. This one, in my mind, was a little more serious than the normal, and Jason had some groveling to do! Miranda isn't sure about letting him in, but he pursues her relentlessly because he knows he screwed up and now that he knows the real Miranda, he really loves her.
I liked the peek into the next book with Knox and Lauren as well.

Next book in the series: Hold You

[hottie men · Rating 4 out of 5]

Adore You is the story of Miranda and Jason.

Jason and Miranda meet at a bar and hit it off immediately and ride on a bull together. He sort of lies to her about being there by chance and she leaves immediately but still thinks about him. He w0rks at Davis Financial group as a security guard with Knox and finds out the love of his life works in the same company as him but she's an assistant. They share a few heated moments here and there and he finds out she's going on a date but as he finishes giving her an orgasm, she says she canceled it for him. They go on a date at his house and he cooks and they make love. A big argument causes dysfunction in the relationship and Jason is the one who sort of caused it and Miranda got mad that he wasn't really truthful about meeting her parents. Anyways they get past that and Jason exposes his fear to Miranda and she understands. Anyway, they have 3 kids, Mateo, Tate, and Maddox and she is preggers with another. He is such a caveman.

Solid 4/5

I didn't like their initial meeting and the bull thing. I didn't care for him much and thought she was annoying. I liked the epilogue

A re-read for me.

I’m surprised I didn’t leave a review the first time I read this but since I’m on read two I guess I should jot down my thoughts.

I’ve been on a bit of an early Nichole Rose reread binge lately and I really like this series. It’s not my favorite of the books but it’s still really good. If you love instalove a protective alpha males, this novella is for you.

I didn't like Jason at first and was really glad to have read the second book first.

Jason and Minnie meet at a bar where he is supposed to babysit the daughter of a rich man. He tries to get intel about who it is at the bar from everyone but from the group in the booth next to him. So he doesn't know that the girl he is interested in is his charge. In front of her he shows how angry he is that he can't go home with her because he is on the clock and calls his charge aka the FMC a stuck-up rich girl (or something along the lines) and that he doesn't really care for the jobs he gets....
Weird that he doesn't know the entire name or first name of his charge or simply doesn't make the connection. It sounds like he didn't get any info about her at all, which is just weird. How are you supposed to babysit and protect when you don't even know who it is. And although he at first does not want to neglect his duties immediately goes to the electrical bull with her and then tells her how he is going to bring her home to have sex....
Ugh, that irresponsibility just wasn't it for me. After she finds out that he was sent for her (she too needed time to connect the dots: dude sent to babysit rich girl in an bar and herself being always protected by her rich uncle) she leaves him and her own birthday party to go home and cry. Talk about a bad birthday.

BUT
- the spicy scenes are mindblowingly good
- his dog is so cute
- he apologizes
- he takes care of her and gives her emotional support
- he gets really sweet

Wonderful awesome quick read! The HEA is good.

Jason meets Miranda when he is "babysitting" a spoiled rich girl and her friends. Little does he know it's Miranda he is suppose to be "babysitting" at a bar. Miranda wants to ride the mechanical bull named White Lightening. Miranda is afraid her picture will be all over social media the next day. Miranda ask Jason to ride the bull with her. When Miranda finds out it's her Jason is suppose to be watching she head home. Jason does all he can do to find Miranda but because she gave him a different last name he can't find her. When Jason goes to work the next day he finds Miranda friend Lauren and asks her about Miranda. Lauren tells Jason that Miranda works for Davis Financial Group, the same company he was just hired on to be security. Jason storms to Miranda office, where she tells Jason exactly why they can't be together. Jason isn't going to accept that and will do anything to win her back. When Miranda figures out she loves Jason she cancels her date she was suppose to have with someone else. Jason find out she cancelled and ask her to go home with him. They both get an awesome HEA!

A mechanical bull named ‘White Lightning’
***************
Tropes: Age gap, insta-love/lust, novella
***************
Triggers: Breeding kink
***************
When Miranda and Jason meet, the sexual chemistry between them is intense. Somehow, and I’m not real sure the author showed it to us, they are falling in love and declaring same the very next day. Certain other plot lines don’t really fit. For instance, he’s fifteen years older than she, and yet her father and mother don’t seem to bat an eyelash at that. The often repetitive narrative was simultaneously unnecessarily detailed while also seeming glossing over others. Left me wanting more.

Movie rating NC17. 3/5 overall, 1/5 romance, 1/5 violence, 4/5 spice. If you’re looking for spice and don’t mind a rushed plot, I recommend. If you’re looking for romance, this isn’t it.

ADORE!!! Soooooo Steamy!!!

Nichole Rose has been a favorite author since her Alpha series and she hasn’t let me down yet! I adored “Adore you” and the reason is simple: it has everything I absolutely love in a romance!

This is another steamy, ADORABLE, heart-and-kindle melting goodie, with a strong, dominant hero who falls for the sweet and Innocent heroine the second she stumbles into his world. He says something stupid and she goes running. But he’s not letting her go and chase her he will!

There’s absolutely no cheating of any kind, no scenes with others, no drama with ow/om. Hero has been celibate, only mentions when he last had a GF, which was 3 years ago. Heroine is a virgin, gives the hero the gift of claiming her as his own. HEA with epilogues, one 5 years out.

[Charity Esparza · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story sucks you in right from the first word. Miranda, aka Minnie for the cutest reasons, is guarded, a bit jaded, sweet, hardworking, and used to people misjudging her. She eschews the limelight, preferring to not let people know her true identity. Jason is an ex-cop, big and burly, protective and possessive, and an alpha to the core. For his Minnie, though, he's tender and sweet as well as obsessed. From the moment he lays eyes on her, she's the only one for him. He's got some fences to mend, but he's not giving up, not for one second. Minnie and Jason are so cute together! This instalove story is sure to make you smile, wish for a Jason of your own, and Minnie as a friend. Happy Reading!!

Jason is a very hot sexy guy that strikes up a conversation with her, feeling very attracted to him she takes his dare and rides the bull with him. Their ride together is very hot!! But things go bad when he says he’s there to watch over a spoiled rich dad’s girl. Hurt, Miranda leaves with one of her bestie. Jason not understanding why she left decides to look for her. The next day at the office where Jason a retired ex police detective who now works as head of security sees Miranda’s other bestie at the reception desk. Getting info of where she is from her he heads up to her office. Things get heated in Miranda’s office. Some drama, a little back and forth, but everything works out in the end and they have their happily ever after. Epilogue four years later with lots of sexy times and babies.

What can I say other than after reading the first book in the series I was hooked and I rushed to get every other book in the Love on the Clock series. To say that Nichole Rose is dangerous to my wallet is to put it mildly but well worth the danger. So far everything I have read from her has been well worth the read. Fun characters, witty banter, sassy women, hunky men, laugh out loud moments so make sure you read them where you won’t attract attention to yourself when you burst out laughing and lots of hot, steamy sexy time. Sorry, no spoilers, but highly recommended.

[Risa Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't really like the connected romances and obvious "best friend also falls in love with someone at the same time". Idk, just not my thing. I do like how they handled grief and problems, but I felt like the MC was a little bland. She didn't have any flaws, she was just a perfect, nice girl with a good amount of sass. She comes into the male's life and shows him unwavering love, and how the world can be a good place. IDK, I just like my heroines to have a little more character or sides. It was still cute though.

Miranda and Jason

Wow! Another fantastic read on this series.
This is the story of Miranda, a rich girl and Jadon a ex detective now working as a head of security in the same company than Miranda. Their attraction was instant and soon they are deep in love with each other. Those steamy scenes between them were HOT. The epilogue do very sweet. Can't wait to read Grant and Lily's story. Highly recommended

Another great one from Nichole

Miranda amd Jason meet at a bar when she is out for her bday with coworkers. He says something dumb in frustration which hurts her feelings. When he realizes she works in the same building as him, he goes about making it up to her. There is very little angst. The issues they have are barely issues. There os no OW drama and the male character is hot as heck and not a manhoe which I appreciate. Fast, light, and sweet!

This may be my new favorite Nichols Rose book!

I love Miranda and Jason's story. It has everything. It's funny, sweet, touching and fan your face hot! She is so sweet and kind. He is an alpha male through and through, strong, possessive and protective. The sports bra comment made me laugh so hard. That has happened to me too. Can't wait for Rowen's story next.

[Beth Prezuhy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfectly swoony and romantic! Loved this book!!

I absolutely loved this book. I can’t put my finger on what set it apart from the others I’ve read by this author, but it was so sincere, simplistic, believable and downright swoony. I fell in love with Jason and the way he treated Miranda. Now I just need to find my own real life Jason.

Great book!

I have recently become acquainted with Nichole Todd's books. They all have awesome , funny characters. And the stories are well written. I like the expanding story line from other series. It can be a standalone.
