About YOUR ALLURING LOVE
*A sizzling romance from a USA Today Bestselling Author*
Alice Bennett has been holding a torch for her older brother’s best friend, Nate, for more than a decade. He’s a hotshot TV producer who travels the world, never staying in San Francisco for too long. But now he’s in town and just as tempting as ever… with a bossy streak that makes her weak in the knees and a smile that can melt ice—or at the very least, her defenses.
As a successful restaurant owner, Alice is happy with her life. She loves her business and her family, yet after watching her siblings find their happy ever after, she can’t help feeling lonely sometimes—but that’s only for her to know.
Nate has always had a soft spot for Alice. Despite considering the Bennetts his family, he never could look at her as just his friend’s little sister. She’s a spitfire, and Nate just can’t stay away. He loves making her laugh… and blush.
Their attraction is irresistible, and between stolen kisses and wicked-hot nights, they form a deep bond that has them both yearning for more.
But when the chance of a lifetime comes knocking at his door, will Nate chase success even if it means losing Alice, or will he choose her?

My Review:
Coming back to the Bennett series is like seeing an old friend. I remembered each and every character, knew what was happening in their lives, I even anticipated the pairing of Nate and Alice… and yet, I so wasn’t prepared.
- The Banter. I have to say that this wasn’t the optimal level of banter, but it was a good amount. The characters had clearly grown up around each other and had a sexual-tension-y back and forth recompense with that level of knowledge. There was also the family angle. Nate had a different relationship with the rest of the Bennetts, and that was entertaining as well.
- Insta-Love? Well, I’m not going to give that away, but this element delighted me. For a couple that came together out of this dynamic, the book took a slightly novel approach to their road to love.
- Obstacles. Yes, there were some. Handled well and in great ways. For people like us – romance junkies – we tend to tire of the overused elements. Layla is great at taking the well-known story parts and rearranging them to tell a crazy original tale.
- Story Resolution. OMGYes. I was so happy with how this book finished. Not only did the couple get their own perfect HEA, we got an epilogue, and a peek at what’s coming up next. AND BY THE WAY LAYLA, I CALLED IT!
(by that I mean that as soon as I read about Nate’s assistant, I knew she was “it”!)
All of these parts come together to make another great installment in the Bennett Family Series. I honestly don’t have a favorite Bennett, although I have a fondness for Jenna, the Matriarch. I’m sure I’ll feel like an empty nester when the series comes to an end too. Still two errant siblings to go, and I can’t wait to read their stories!

Read an excerpt from YOUR ALLURING LOVE
“Let me do the dirty work from time to time. You’re mine, Alice. That means I’ll protect you from anyone, even if you don’t want me to. I’ll protect you especially when you don’t want me to because it’s when you need it most.” Before I can reply, he steps right in front of me. “You understand? You are mine.”
I shake my head. “You’re stubborn and possessive.”
“Sounds like I’m a catch.”
“I didn’t mean those as compliments,” I inform him, crossing my arms over my chest.
“That’s how they sounded to me.”
“How do you figure?”
“You can easily rephrase that to determined and protective. Both positive traits.”
Despite my annoyance, my lips twitch with a hint of a smile.
“I won’t apologize for wanting to protect you.”
“I wasn’t really expecting you to,” I reply, disarmed by his passion and honesty. “But I’m warning you, I’m still mad at you.”
“I’m counting on it, darling. In fact, hold on to the anger until we get home. Unless you want to leave now?”
“No, the event isn’t over.” I’m a little suspicious of his sudden good mood. “Why do you want me to hold on to the anger?”
“Because there’s a kind of sex I’m dying to try with you.”
“What kind is that?”
He wiggles his eyebrows, leaning in. “Make-up sex.”
