Living and loving to the full:
This book provided a good escape whilst still dealing with real issues that we can relate to. Poor Noah has shut himself off and has worked to the bone to provide for his family and now he doesn't know how to step back. Thankfully Andie is able to show him how to let go and to live a life of balance. However Andie has had her own past trauma and initially shuts Noah out but thankfully they are able to realize they both deserve to be together. An inspiring message from the book is that we all ought to grab onto life and pursue our dreams with passion and abandon.
This was book 4 and whilst I hadn't read the previous books, I was able to follow along quite well and although it is probably preferable to read them in order, I believe it can still be read as a standalone. It was an enjoyable read although I did find it rather wordy at times with inner dialogue rehashing the same things over again. Also I found the constant writing of words in italics for added emphasis annoying.

Owen and Andie we're put on a vacation together in order to show Owen that there was more to life than working all the time and avoiding all forms of excitement and family ties. Andie's on the go personality and live for now attitude eventually washed off onto Owen and he began to understand what life was truly about. I was so excited to see them get together and learn why Andie wanted to live the way she did and embrace the you only live once attitude. Another great story when it comes to my favorite billionaires.

I love this series and have been patiently waiting to read work-a-holic Noah’s story. This did not disappoint. Noah and Andie are the quintessential opposites attract love story. He’s a workaholic that lives and breathes for his family and their security. She’s a free spirit with no real family who lives everyday like it’s her last. Andie longs for a future, while Noah just longs for a future with her. Great story, great secondary characters. Can’t wait for the next!!

I never read the first three, but Enchanted does act like a stand alone novel. Here we have Noah, the oldest brother of this Sinclair brood of siblings. He's faced with having to raise his siblings when he was 18, so he put his head down and got to work making sure his siblings were taken care of. Even after they become "accidental billionaires", he's still a workaholic that barely eats. His sisters gift him a vacation for Christmas, and they finally push him to go. Owen, his brother, sends his best friend since childhood, Andie, to be Noah's fun guide and all but force him to relax. Two weeks in Cancun, what could happen?

This was a cute little read that took me just a few hours. I didn't really care for the insta-love/lust thing between them, and I wish there had been more of a slow burn with their relationship. How do you want to marry someone when you barely know them. They do finally slow down and go for the whole conventional courtship with dates and learning about each other before there's any marriage. But Noah felt a little...immature when it came to relationships. He never had a serious one, so he goes from 0 to 100 without actually thinking things through. There is no "I love you" after two weeks, so that was the book's saving grace. I did enjoy Andie as a character. She was fun and a foodie, and I appreciate that Scott wrote about a woman who didn't shy away from food. Home girl liked what she liked and didn't give a damn what anyone thought. Even if she did have some moments where she thought her ass was too big, but what woman doesn't think that at some point? Regardless, this wasn't a hang up for her.

All in all, I enjoyed it. I may check out the other books in this series. I am definitely interested in Owen's story with Layla so I may have to read that one as well.

Another fantastic installment of the Sinclair’s. This is a billionaire story about Noah the oldest brother of the West Coast Sinclair’s. They grew up poor because their father left them and their mother without resources. When Noah’s mom dies and leaves him in charge of his brothers and sisters at the age of 18. Due to the promise Noah made to his mom, he has kept his head down and worked hard and his siblings have survived.
Now they are all grown and several of them have gotten married and Noah has continued to work hard. His family gives him a vacation trip as a gift in hopes of getting him to slow down and enjoy life. His youngest brother Owen gets his friend Andie a travel blogger to go with him in hopes she might be able to keep him from working all the time.
Noah is surprised to find out that Andie is a girl and Owens long time best friend Adrianna. Will Andie be able to keep Noah from working all week? Will Noah be able to see her as the beautiful woman she is instead of his youngest brothers best friend? Can Noah be able to lift his head up and begin to live his life?
I really enjoyed this steamy story. Thank you to Netgalley for the complimentary copy. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don’t think that there’s a book that Ms Scott has written that I haven’t enjoyed. This was no exception. Noah and Andie balanced each other, one being too disciplined and the other living for the moment. Both had valid reasons for the way they were living even though the reasons didn’t apply anymore. What started as a favor for a longtime friend became something much more.

This series is fabulous. I was so glad to read Noah's story. I was also happy when he was forced on vacation with an old family friend and forced to look up and smell the flowers. She was strong and sweet and just what Noah needed.

Noah and Andie are indeed Enchanting. Noah has shouldered responsibility for his siblings for many years and doesn't really know how to let go and live live. Andie has battle illness for many years and has been in remission for 5 years. Andie is afraid to give her heart. Andie take it as a challenge to show Noah how to have fun. Of course they must return to the real world. Not to worry, they overcome.

This is another great love story. I highly recommend the book. Truly wonderful story.

What a great story!! Noah is a workaholic. His family gives him a trip to Cancun to relax and unwind. His family sends Andie to help him relax and enjoy life. Andie is a free-spirit at heart but hides her fears. They butt heads but the more time they spend together, the closer they get. What a great read. I couldn't put it down.

Another good read from J.S. Scott! I think I've read pretty much all of her books and continue to enjoy them. The "accidental billionaire" series has been fun so far!

I love NOAH! He's just kind of a dream. After acquiescing to his siblings' request that he take a vacation, he gets the biggest surprise -- ANDIE. I do not love Andie, but I don't hate her either. The reader can guess what her big issue is with avoiding relationships early on. Her unwillingness to share that info with Noah was childish. Thankfully, Owen sets her straight and we can celebrate in a HEA.

Looking forward to Owen's story next, plus getting updates on our favorite Sinclairs!

Noah Sinclair is used to being the eldest in charge of taking care of his siblings since he was 18 after his mother passed away. Andie is the childhood best friend of Noah's younger brother, Owen, who makes her living traveling and writing her travel blog. She is asked by Owen to accompany Noah on his "forced" vacation to make sure he doesn't work throughout it. She makes a connection with Noah and is successful in getting him to learn to relax.. However, she has a secret regarding her health that scares her from committing to a long term relationship. Noah and Andie are a great couple and compliment each other. The plot moves along nicely and I was happy to see what the jewelry on the book cover means!

I was given a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’m positively enchanted😇

Noah is the next billionaire to find his happily ever after but as we know most relationships have their ups and downs and this one certainly did too😢

Andie and Owen have been best friends for years and Owen tells Andie his concerns regarding Noah and invites her to accompany Noah on a paid vacation to Cancún😍 Her objective is to help Noah relax and to stop working soooo much❣️

Absolutely loved Andie and Noah’s story and I’m super excited to read Owen’s next😁 Thank you to Montlake, Netgalley and JS Scott for my advanced copy which I voluntarily leave my honest review❤️

In typical J.S.. Scott 's writing style, this novel begins when Andie and Noah meet and do not fall in love. Noah is sent off on a forced vacation and Andie is in the same location to do a travel article. It's yes meets no until the turning point brings a HEA. Adorable little read.

Thanks for letting me read and review.

This is a cute read with some spice. Have a tissue ready at the start but you won't need it long.

Noah has always worried and taken care of his family, now they're worried about him. He won't stop working. So much that he looks terrible. His sisters plan him a vacation but his brother Owen knows how to make sure he's going to enjoy it. He asks his best friend, Andie to go and make sure Noah has a good time.

Go with Noah and Andie on a trip to Cancun and see if she can get him to relax and stop working for just a little while.

A celebration of life becomes a reawakening for hearts in need of a little push. Enchanted is no fairytale. Noah and Andie are tough on the heart and tragic to the soul, but inspiring to get to know. Scott turns a lifetime of heartache into a tale of resilience. The power of the human spirit is on full display with a romance that fights it's way into your heart. No, Enchanted is no fairytale, but a haunting song that lingers far beyond the last note of the melody.
