Blurb

Money. Power. Success. Those are three things that have defined my name – Ryker Winchester. It’s what I’m good at. I always get exactly what I want.

I was completely unprepared for Heather.

She challenges me. She melts under my touch. She’s everything I never knew I wanted. She’s a feisty single mom, and I can’t get enough of her. The way she gives in to me is intoxicating, but I need more than hot nights and sexy dates. When she introduces me to her daughter, something shifts inside me. No one has ever played
me for a fool like that kid can do with a single dimpled grin.

I want to keep them both.
Mine to love.
Mine to protect.

Heather doesn’t trust easily, but I’ll prove to her that we’ll have an incredible future together.

I’m Ryker Winchester and I’m relentless when I go after what I want.

Review

3 stars

Sweet, sexy, swoony and drama-free romance.

This is the second book in Layla Hagen’s Very Irresistible Bachelors series, following on from You’re The One, and continues the stories of the Winchester family.

Ryker Winchester is one of four incredibly close siblings (their cousin, Hunter, was the hero of book #1). He is a successful and wealthy businessman who also performs as a singer in a bar, and it’s while playing one night that he meets Heather, a single mother who is about to bring him to his knees.

Heather has just been brutally dumped by her boyfriend of two years. But her recent heartbreak doesn’t stop her from falling hard and fast for Ryker. He makes his attraction clear, and she’s feeling exactly the same so there is no time wasted as she shakes off her last relationship and dives into a new one.

It’s no angst, no drama, just two people falling for each other and following their hearts (and their libidos) into a sweet, functional and super steamy romance. Ryker is a sexy, sweet-hearted alpha who likes to take control and who doesn’t take no for an answer, and Heather is more than happy to go with the flow and follow his lead. It’s all very easy, natural, honest and swoony.

“I like spending time with you more than anything else. No matter what we do, I always think about you. You’re always on my mind.”
“Does that scare you?”
“No. Because I know I’m exactly where I need to be.”

Making it extra sweet is Heather’s daughter, Avery, who is absolutely adorable, and who Ryker falls for hook, line and sinker.

“I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that little girl feels safe around me. Make sure she’s happy. And then we’ll take it from there.”

It’s really cute, but does feel a bit cheesy. Ryker is SO perfect, their relationship is SO perfect, and while I usually love a functional romance, I found this book to be a bit dull. I enjoyed seeing them come together, and I liked the fact that there was no drama for the sake of drama, but it felt like it was missing something. I’m not sure what, just that feeling that I get when I truly love a story wasn’t there.

We get the opportunity to get up close and personal with the rest of the Winchester clan and experience their close dynamic, and each of the siblings will get own their stories in the series.

It’s a cute read, and I liked it.

3 stars.
