The Fall
Joseph Anderson has been successful in finding brides for his two eldest sons. In this book he finds the perfect bride for his youngest son, Mark . . . if only Mark will cooperate.
Mark has a billion-dollar ranch operation that takes many employees to run successfully. He loses his cook and leaves it to his father to find a new one. Little does Mark know that Joseph is far more interested in her marriage potential than her cooking skills. Luckily he finds a woman who can cook and will make the perfect bride for his son.
Emily Jackson is on the run from people who want to take her five-year-old son from her. She ends up in a small town in Washington and is excited to find an ad in the paper for a live-in cook. When she starts work at the beautiful ranch, sparks fly with her new boss who is sexier than any cowboy has the right to be. She doesn't want to risk having an affair with her boss and losing her job so she'll fight the attraction until passion overcomes them both. Take the journey with Mark and his family as the youngest Anderson finds his bride in Melody Anne's NYT's best selling series.

3. The Fall
3 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Seattle set novel The Fall: The Andersons Book Two by Melody Anne and this review was given freely.
I didn’t really care for the “enhancements” in this version as I felt they interrupted the flow and made me feel like I was reading a middle-grade book instead of the steamy adult romance it is.
A story of instant attraction and second chances that is complicated by a stalker and vindictive ex-In-Laws.
Just when Mark thinks he has evaded all his father Joseph’s matchmaking attempts, his father hires struggling runaway single mother Emily as Mark’s live-in housekeeper and cook.
18+ for steamy intimate scenes.
4. The Proposal
4 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Seattle set novel The Proposal: The Andersons Book Two by Melody Anne and this review was given freely.
Joseph’s twin brother George contacts him five years after George’s wife’s death seeking Joseph’s help to rebuild his family while finding love matches for his estranged children. George starts by relocating himself, his business, and his oldest son to Seattle.
As the struggling temporary guardian of her 4-year-old niece Molly, Jennifer is thrilled with her new job as executive assistant to the president of the Anderson Corporation until she discovers her new boss is the cocky playboy who hit her with a frisbee in the park and the man she tries hard to resist.
18+ for extended intimate scenes and the dark undertone of kidnapping.
5. The Blackmail
3 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Seattle set novel The Blackmail: The Andersons Book Five by Melody Anne and this review was given freely.
A touch of irony, a fair amount of violence, extended intimate scenes, and a couple who finds love despite parental interference, and despite Max’s hurting budding journalist Cassie both mentally and physically.
Cassie has one goal, to interview determined playboy and closet philanthropist Max Anderson to get a job with the Seattle Times. Unfortunately, to get the interview, she first has to become the victim of a car accident.
18+ for extended intimate scenes. Best if read in series order.
6. The Runaway
3 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Seattle set novel The Runaway: The Andersons Book Six by Melody Anne and this review was given freely.
Way too much violence. Contains some good foreshadowing indicating early on who the stalker is.
Tension-filled with a couple who draws closer together despite tragedy, kidnapping, and a lot of violence.
28-year virgin Brianne Lynn Anderson tried to escape the confines of her overly protective, predominantly male family only to find herself under the protection of Cousin Mark’s friend, ex-Navy SEAL Chad.
18+ for extended intimate scenes and violence.
7. The Final Stand
3 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Seattle set novel The Final Stand: The Andersons Book Seven by Melody Anne and this review was given freely.
I had to know how the final Anderson child met his match, but I am tired of all the violence and tragedy. Contains unprofessional behavior.
Then and Now novels are not my favorite, but this volume is different in that it contains Joseph, George, and Austin’s romances.
The patriarchal brothers are gravely injured in a car accident which has Katherine reminiscing on her early days with Joseph while at the same time, Austin tries to build a relationship with nurse Kinsey as they have sex all over the hospital, and the children work to bring George and Esther’s romance out into the open. End with a nice update on all the couples in the series.
18+ for extended intimate scenes in multiple locations and violence.
