Convince Me

by Chelsea McDonald

Veronica is free-spirited, impulsive and down on her luck. After being fired from her job in California, she has no choice but to move cross country back to her parent’s house. With no job, no house and no boyfriend, there’s nothing holding her back from taking life by the balls. It’s at that moment she meets Hayden...

Hayden is a big softie and a closet optimist, but remains a complete hard ass around the office. Being made a junior partner at the law firm, he’s risen to the top of his game. He loves what he does but only wishes he had someone to share his success with. And then he meets a sassy little blonde by the name of Veronica.

Come along for the ride as a self assured alpha male goes after what he wants. Will she fall into his arms willingly or will he have to convince her?

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.

This is the first book in the Tidal Collection from Chelsea McDonald. This is also a quick insta love novella. It is the story of Veronica and Hayden. Veronica is having a super tough time as she had been fired from her job and she is having to leave California and move back in eitb her parents. While this would cause some to fall into a deep depression Veronica realizes there is nothing tying her to anything ankle so its time to grab the bull by the horn and do life the way she wants to do it. Hayden is a junior partner at the law firm he works at and has worked hard to get to where he is. He is a big old softie and very optimistic but st work his attitude is that of a butt you would hate to work with. Now that he is where he is at his job he is ready to settle down and have someone to share his life and success with. These two meet st the exact moment neither expects it Will they fall for each other and get the happily ever after? You jave to read and find out. I really loved this story so much and was sad when it was over.

It was just supposed to be a one-night stand, Hayden and Veronica could not stop thinking about the night they shared together.

Hayden and Veronica are complete opposites, yet they really balance each other out. The have amazing chemistry together. I loved Hayden’s determination when it came to Veronica and proving how perfect they are together. The mixture of Hayden’s alpha side and Veronica’s sassy side was fantastic.

This was a fast passed novella that I couldn’t put down. I completely fell in love with Hayden and Veronica’s story.

Convince Me by Chelsea McDonald is a insta-love novella. This is the first book in the Tidal Collection.

This is the forth book of Chelsea’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and read in one sitting. I really enjoyed the insta-connection between Veronica and Hayden.

I would recommend this book if you like insta-love romances, or contemporary romances.

I enjoyed this little short story

[Heather Woodman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the intensity of connection you see between these two, for a novella it still gives you a real sense of love, lust and fate.
A short, sweet and sexy read that tempts you in and treats you!

I have come to expect nothing less than beauty written within the pages from Chelsea and yet again she smashed it out the park. This is a story of a love we all wish would happen but alas only few get to experience... Hayden and Veronica are blessed to have such a story.

Love that is so pure and instant that nothing can stand in their way.
All obstacles are nothing against love story these two create.

For a book that is a Novella it still holds the same strength as that of a full length story. It's sweet, it gives you all the feels, you become attached to the main characters and their sidekicks, it fills you with warmth. It keeps you there from beginning to end eagerly devouring each word until the inevitable and you hit the last page.

It's another win for Chelsea and something we should all indulge in reading.

Who doesn’t love a one night stand romance???

Convince me was fast paced just like the one night stand that our main characters Hayden and Veronica had but what happens when they can’t stop thinking about each other??

I instantly feel in love with couple and their chemistry oozed of the pages! Hayden and Veronica complemented each other beautifully and it was fun to see their relationship blossom quickly!

Chelsea definitely nailed this novella, from the chemistry between the main characters to the flow and structure of the story. Once I started I just couldn’t stop, here’s to the next story in this series.

[Joy Whiteside · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an amazing read that I was able to finish in one sitting. It moves along at an amazing pace making for a very enjoyable read. You will fall in love with these characters and want to know more about them. You feel as though you are there with them. The story grabs you from the very beginning and will not let you go until the very last page is read. This is a must read book, no doubt about it. So add to you TBR list, you will not be sorry that you did.

This is the 1st on a new collection of novellas, and Veronica and Hayden’s story is a perfect beginning. Veronica is a sassy free spirit, who is down on her luck which leaves her no option but to return to her hometown. Hayden and Veronica end up having a one-night stand which shakes up both of their worlds. These two are total opposites yet together they complement each other perfectly. This is a well written fast paced little gem of a story which is sweet and heartwarming. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all readers.

Veronica returns to her home town to reconnect and recover from her job loss. Not exactly looking for someone, a chance encounter at a holiday party changes her entire world. A chance encounter, one night stand rocks Hayden's entire world.
This novella caught my attention from the first chapter and I blazed through the story. I really liked the pacing of the story. I am very curious about some of the secondary characters as well. The chemistry between Veronica and Hayden was explosive. This was a very enjoyable story to read. Chelsea combines good character development, an engaging storyline with plenty of emotional push and pull. A worthy read.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hayden and Veronica hooked me from their very first meeting. They may seem opposites but are just perfect for each other. The story flows well and I found myself unable to put this down because I had to know how their story progressed.
