The family is fun loving, traditional and over the top in each others business. The Donovan’s have five grown children and own a pub in Laurel Bay, NC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*Ī new series from Samatha Chase. *Thanks to Samantha Chase and Valentine PR for the ARC. I feel invested in the Donovan clan and will for sure need to read the rest of the series.

It took a while, but I'm glad she finally stood up for herself. One thing I have to say ~ Arianna made a big stink that she was all grown up now and how her family needs to take her seriously, but then in other chapters she's whining and stomping her feet about something ~ a bit counterproductive there. Will was such a sweet guy and never acted all military tough. They were so cute together and I enjoyed watching their love blossom.

With a super protective older brother and meddling parents, how can they make it work?.by sneaking around of course. And it looks like Will is sticking around since they're going into business together. They want to make long distance work, but for certain reasons it just does not.įlash forward a year later and Arianna's brother, Liam, is home from his tour with the Marines and he brings a surprise guest with him, Will. Neither one is ready to tell the world what they’re doing, but how long can they possibly keep things a secret when there are Donovans ready to meddle around every corner?īook 1 in a new series following the Donovans.įeaturing ~ dual 3rd person POV, second chance, brother's best friend, best friend's sister, baby of the family, meddling parents & brothers, forbidden love, age gap (23 & 32), returning to hometown, small town, military men, secret relationship, fade to black, no steamageĪrianna & Will meet while in California and spend only one day together exploring the town before they head back to their lives. Will isn’t above playing the nostalgia card, and when he challenges Arianna to a sexy game of truth or dare, she can’t resist. He’ll just have to first convince her to let go of her anger and give him another chance.

Now that he’s seen her again, he forgets all about doing the smart thing. Time and distance will work wonders when you’re trying to stay away from someone. Staying away from Arianna was the smart thing to do, especially with how protective her older brother-his friend and fellow soldier-can be. When he walked away a year ago, Will thought it was for the best. How could he possibly forget to mention that he was friends with her brother? No one knows about their past and Arianna wants to keep things that way. But when Will shows up at a family dinner with her older-and very protective-brother, she’s angry and confused. She thought they would stay in touch, but he disappeared without a word.Īrianna thought she’d moved on. One year ago, Arianna Donovan and Will Jameson met on a dare and spent a perfect 24 together before going their separate ways.
