Enamored
Siena Moretti and Michael Blaire may have agreed to entwine their lives, but finding a way to balance work and love . . . relationship and career . . . is much harder than they imagined.
Overseeing Moretti Vineyards after her grandfather’s heart attack forces Siena to put her dream of opening a restaurant on hold. She is sure she has made the right choice, but Michael’s determination to override her decision only adds to the pressure she’s under.
While Michael throws himself into the development of his new hotel, Monarchessa, he struggles with how to handle his mother’s lies and deceit and his best friend’s life being in jeopardy. With everything seeming to crumble around him, he finds it difficult to make Siena a priority.
Determined to fight through adversity, Siena and Michael come to realize that cultivating a love to endure the test of time is not as easy as creating the perfect wine. And just when the enamored couple begins to find a sense of peace and security, someone from Siena’s past threatens to destroy their happiness again. As their relationship is put to the test once more, they have to find a way to work together and overcome the obstacles they face, or risk losing everything.

This is the first book I have read of Ms. Adams and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I did not read the first book but still found the storyline interesting and easy to follow.
She delivers a story of two people who have such a chemistry that no matter the walls that they come across nothing stops them. Michael & Siena are giving love a try but the road they are on is not as smooth as they had hoped. Michael is struggling with the truth about his parent's divorce and the betrayal that occurred. Siena has dreams that she had put on hold to help run the family’s vineyard. Will she ever see her dreams come true? Will Michael be able to forgive his parents or parent?
Michael and Siena's relationship has some trust issues that seems to cause more problems than they needed to. Their communication at times needs help as the lack of it is what causes some of their problems. Their journey and relationship us full of banter laughs and true love. Michael years Siena like a princess although she fights it. She is the most important person in his life and he would do anything for her.
Enamored will have you feeling all the feels while you read it.

I loved the first book and this book did not disappoint. I loved it. Siena and Michael are fantastic but all the characters together are some of my favorite scenes. Sometimes when there are multiple characters it’s difficult to remember characters or it is just too much but this group has just the right amount and they all add to the story. While you only get Michael and Siena’s point of view I really love the growth with each other and all their friends. Really well written again and paced really well. Highly recommend! Really hoping for more and hoping we get other point of views or stories of other characters.

This was a wonderful continuation of Siena and Michael’s story. Their banter and sass continued to make me laugh and really enjoy their journey. They had to overcome a lot in this book - doubt, fear, insecurities and the courage to do the right things. What stands out the most is the love for one another, their families and their friends.
I really enjoyed the mystery and suspense factor that came into this story.
I enjoyed getting to read and learn more about Pops and Grams - they are wonderful people.
The family dynamics came to a breaking point and we learned so much more about Michaels family/history and the steps they all have yo take to get though the past.
Leigh does and amazing job of continuing the story of these beautiful families - hoping to read more about them and the success of their new adventures!

This story picks up right after the first book. I think that you need to read book 1 to get an understanding of all the characters in the book and the original story. You'll meet Pops and Grams, Jenny, Lauren and Audrey, Mosby and Matthew in book one and they continue to appear in number 2
Michael and Sienna story continues in book 2 and you get to hear more of their journey.
Sienna Moretti and Michael Blaire start out as enemies in book one but then love conquers all.
There are bumps along the way but in he end love triumphs all, it is how they get to the end that is the story.
Enjoy this story and let it take you on a trip to a winery, building a new hotel and someone else's life.

I absolutely loved this continuation of Siena and Michael's story! These two and their banter and hotness together is something else. I loved their "realness." Their insecurities ans hopes, their love and insatiable chemistry. The story line was incredible. Unique and intriguing with suspenseful parts that held my attention. Of course, the secondary characters were impressive and penned in a way that added a ton of depth to their story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading both book one, Entwined, and this second book, Enamored.

Having read the first book in this series and loved it, I was excited to get my hands on this one. I wasn't disappointed, the wait between the two books was worth it. Because of the gap I had forgotten what had happened so it was wonderful the way Leigh managed to not just draw me into the next instalment but also give reminders of previous events, not in complete detail because that could be long winded but enough to jog my memory so that I could just sink in and enjoy. This is a fabulous mix of romance, banter, suspense and some angsty moments. Fabulous characters and a nice steady flow with some twists and turns to keep me on my toes. I absolutely loved it and it left me wanting more, I want to see results, the hotel and everything else that is still work in progress, so I sincerely hope that there will be a third book. This is the sort of story a reader loves to dive into, get lost in and forget about real life for a while, it is escapism at its best.

love a story where the chemistry between the couples is so genuine. Micheal and Sienna are very relatable characters and most of what they face is realistic. Loved the banter and respect between these two.
It is never easy to navigate the merging of peoples lives; especially when there are obstacles in your way. A great read but I also recommend reading the first book to get the total feel of this couple.

There was a lot going on in this book! I really loved that Michael and Siena had a happy ending. I was worried for a while. They had so many side stories going on but so does life. I’m glad to at they didn’t let life interfere with their relationship. I loved this book. I’m hoping that there will be some spin-off stories!!

Michael and Siena are just so cute!! They exude chemistry and they are just simply hilarious together. When Siena’s past comes knocking, their connection is tested and they have to determine how to work through their challenges. Really enjoyed experiencing their journey. I loved Siena’s perceptive grandparents.

Enamored picks up Michael and Siennas story and this one is just as beautifully written as it's predecessor. Michael and Sienna continue to have the same fantastic chemistry between them and the laugh out loud moments are still there as well as trying times for them. I love their story! This author has a way of pulling you in and allowing you to feel a part of her work. A fantastic addition to the Monarch series.

This is the second book of this series and it continues right were the first one ended. This was a great ending to Michael and Siena's book. You want to read this book for sure. Can't wait to read more from Leigh Adams.

Enamored is the second book of the Monarch series and the first book from this author that I have read. This book is the continuation of Siena and Michael's story. Each of them trying to see their dream succeed, face challenges along the way. I enjoyed following their story, and will be going back to read book one.

Senia and Michael are busy with work and life. Drama presents itself in misunderstandings, suspense, and danger. I love Senia's wit and Michael's charm. Ready for their friends stories please ;)

Michael and Sienna, swoon. These two fought for what they wanted, each other and love. Great continuation of their story. All Righty.

I loved the first book, so couldn't wait to jump in. I must be honest in saying it didn't quite have the same impact as book one. There was more action which was fab, the characters were the same wonderful creations, but the sex was a bit much and over the top unrealistic in the beginning and there was a lot of predictable events, however I still enjoyed the journey.

This story goes deeper into the relationship of Siena and Michael after they have gotten together and starting living their lives as a couple. They are finding their balance of living together and focusing on their careers and jobs all while falling more in love. You get to see more of certain characters from the first book and learn more about their backstories. There is some suspense as drama starts to unfold and even some rather scary moments for a few of the characters. It definitely wasn't something I saw coming but it was written into the story perfectly! I love how it all came together and how much closer Siena and Michael got to the point where there might be a very important question asked near the end! I loved this story and adored this couple so much!

This book had it all! Drama, suspense, romance, jealousy and Love!
There was never a moment that I wasn’t fully engaged with their story.
Enamored picks up where Entwined finished and we continue the journey with Sienna and Michael.
This book had me laughing in parts I mean who doesn’t love an oven for Xmas! Indiana Jones movies and even wood!
Michael and Sienna were perfect together, they had chemistry which drew you to them and you couldn’t help but love Sienna’s sassy character, her humour made me laugh out loud many times!
Michael was swoon worthy although I did want to slap him a bit in one part of the story.
I kept waiting for the moment he proposed but we were made to wait along with Sienna.
“Forever Entwined, Forever In Love”

I absolutely loved this continuation of Siena and Michael’s love story. The passion and love that these two have continued to ooze off the pages and melt my heart. This part of their story shows the growth that they both go through in their lives and in their relationship. They have some rough patches (I mean who doesn’t) and it was wonderful to see how they overcome the doubt and insecurities that plague them.
Enamored is filled with such witty and funny back and forth banter, undeniable chemistry and explosive passion and love. With some suspense and mystery it kept me glued to the pages unwilling to put the book down until it was actually over (which I never wanted it to be).
I also loved revisiting Grams and Pops. These two characters warm my heart and bring such joy and happiness to the story. I just love these two.
This is a really well written love story that brought a smile to my face while reading it. I was captivated right from the start and continued to be highly entertained throughout.

Happiness
Sienna and Michael's dreams are all coming true. This book was all romance with just a little angst thrown in to keep you on your toes. I'm not sure what to expect from the third book but I suspect that nagging little angst will back in either Charl's ex boyfriend or the fired contractor. On my way to find out! A must read book.

Have you read Entwined?
Although the author states this one can be read on its own, I do feel you’ll be missing out on some important details and character building if you don’t read them in order. I feel this story is more suitable as being considered part 2. A duet.
So this story takes place right after the last one. We get to experience more moments of this wonderful couple and we get to learn more about their friends and family. These two finished the last story on a high note as a happy couple, but now they are learning to grow their relationship and overcome insecurities and jealousy. Moving in together and blending their lifestyles together.
Whereas the first story was all about them meeting and getting to know Siena’s hometown and family/friends, this one introduces Michael’s family and best friend. Will Siena get along with the people who are important to Michael???
Add in a little bit of suspense due to a dirtbag ex-boyfriend… and a moron ex-boyfriend and a creepy guy… oh my!
Overall I thought this was a great conclusion to Michael’s and Siena’s love story. I love how we have been introduced to several supporting characters who will all, hopefully, have their own stories told for us to read. I’m going to miss these two and hope we see glimpses of them in the future stories.

This is the second book in this series. Siena and Michael have challenges to overcome along the way to their happily ever after. Siena’s dream of opening a restaurant is put on hold when her grandpa has a heart attack, while Michael has thrown himself into the development of his new hotel. Their love is tested when someone from Siena’s past throws a spanner in the works, but will they be able to overcome this hurdle? This is a well written story which has suspense, angst, intrigue, challenges, romance, humor, witty banter, twists, and love, which leads to an entertaining and compelling page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Enamored is the second book in A Monarch Duet series by Leigh Adams. The series must be read in order. Like with the previous book I loved the writing and plot. It’s passionate, intriguing, intense romance with a mix of mystery, secrets and a bit of suspense. It also gives a few answers from the first book and more insight into Michael and Siena’s friends and family.
Michael and Siena are fighting for their happily ever after. Only there is a problem: their existence and plans are threatened by the demons of their past, someone is targeting their friends. Love that the second book gives a reader more insight in family’s business and their connections. I think Michael and Siena became stronger, more solid in the second book. They are even more passionate, swoony and intense and their connection and chemistry even more sizzling. They just needed to learn how to open up and communicate. I swear I live and love the light moments and their banter – it’s so great to see when they get to be playful with each other and to let go of their problems and live in the moment. Michael’s possessiveness comes out more in this book. Their transformation and development from book one is incredible. They are utterly beautiful with ALL.THE.FEELS. and SWOON.
Enamored is a beautiful ending to this duet. An absolutely amazing book with everything you could possibly want if you love a bit of mystery, danger, romantic suspense, character driven storyline and second chances. I highly recommend it.
