Undeniable ~Melanie Harlow ~ Blog Tour

Blogger: E-Reading After Midnight - Edit post

“Whoa. Undeniable is one of my top reads! Sizzling chemistry, off the charts sexual tension and all the feels I’ve come to expect with a Melanie Harlow romance!”- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Undeniable, an all-new sexy standalone second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn roof. He said you couldn’t break a leg from a 12-foot-jump.

He lied.

(You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was concerned.)

I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet I ever made with him, the last time I ever trusted Oliver Ford Pemberton.

But it wasn’t.

Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we got older, the dares only got dirtier—and the betting stakes higher—until finally, he left me in pieces. I swore I’d never talk to him again.

But twenty years after I took that flying leap, he’s back in my life, daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth, and my heart.

How many chances does true love deserve?

Excerpt:

Fueled by pent-up lust and scotch, we stumbled into Oliver’s room and tore at each other’s clothes. It was hot and rough and a little bit violent, as if we were furious we hadn’t been able to keep our hands to ourselves and wanted to take it out on one another’s bodies. We pushed and pulled and growled and grasped. We called each other names and cursed viciously. We knocked over a lamp and ripped Oliver’s shirt. When we finally exploded together, Oliver had me up against the door, and if our yelling didn’t wake the entire floor, then the pounding must have. I’d have bruises for days. Afterward, we collapsed on the bed, naked and sweaty and exhausted. “Oh my God,” I said. “I can’t believe we did that.” “I know. Me either.” “I think I pulled a muscle.” “I think you bit me. Am I bleeding?” I laughed. “No, but I hope you’re not seeing anyone. If you are, she’s going to wonder about all those scratches on your back.” “I’m not seeing anyone.” He paused. “Are you?” “No.” Neither of us moved for several minutes. When I caught myself falling asleep, I sat up. “I should go.” “Why? Just stay here.” I looked down at him. “You want me to stay?” “Yeah.” He opened his eyes. In the low light, they almost looked black instead of blue. “Spend the night with me.” I waited for it—the dirty joke, the excuse, the subtle dig—the reason he’d toss out for asking me to stay. It couldn’t just be that he wanted me here. But he didn’t say anything more. He just reached out and covered my hand with his. I looked at our hands for a moment, and a thousand memories came rushing back. Some good, some bad, but all us. I felt close to him, and I didn’t want to leave. “Okay. I’ll stay.” “Good.” He took off his watch and put it on the nightstand.

Elizabeth's Review

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review copy provided by author

Undeniable is the second book in the Cloverleigh Farms series and focuses on the next to youngest Sawyer sister, Chloe. We met Chloe briefly in the first book of the series, but get to know her better here along with her love interest, Oliver.

I enjoyed Undeniable and appreciated the emotional fire/frying pan moments that Oliver experienced, but I don't know that it is the strongest book I have read from Ms. Harlow. I know that comment makes it sound like there is something wrong with the book, but there isn't.

Chloe, Oliver, and their back story are interesting and made me what to know more. I think where I struggled a little bit is that the past is almost a third main character. We spend time with Chloe and Oliver at various ages in the past where they have had close calls emotionally/romantically and the aftermath leading them to where they are now. That back story is important to the modern day characters, but it keeps us from getting to know them and their current motivations as well as I would have liked.

As much as I enjoyed Chloe and Oliver's story, I really wanted to know them better. As always, this was very well written and had a strong element of family relationships and humor. I am hoping to see more of Oliver and Chloe in future Cloverleigh stories.
