I could of given this book a 5 star but I was so frustrated that the accident was just wiped out and never to be brought up again even though one of the characters nearly died. She didn’t even ask him why he left. I was expecting the lead heroine to have a bit of fight in her considering he left her on her death bed. It was a good book to read but I do feel the accident should of been brought up in the early stages and maybe used as a reason why she didn’t want him anymore. I mean if you are going to leave, then leave. It shouldn’t take so many chapters of going backwards and forwards to get to the point. I mean he left you sort of dying in the hospital without a care in the word. Loved seeing Joseph Anderson within the book. I really want to read Branden, Crew and Hudson’s books but only if there was a significant thing happened in their lives that they dealt with it rather than being swept under the carpet.

This is the 2nd book of the Anderson Billionaire series.
Loving these Anderson brothers, this is Noah’s story, brother 2 of 5.
Noah and Sarah are both architects that are to design the veterans center as per the ever meddling Joseph Anderson. Noah is aware of Joseph’s ways but laughs it off all the same. Both Sarah and Noah don’t do relationships for the long haul.
You can only run so long for so far. Some things you can’t run from.

4 star review Noah (Anderson Billionaires #2) by Melody Anne

Thrust in to sudden wealth, Noah and his brothers are focused on building a new veterans centre, they work hard and they play equally as hard.
Noah Anderson ticks all the boxes for me; he is strong, protective, most definitely an alpha and although he tries hard to hide it, he loves fiercely. Working closely with fellow designer Sarah Jenning the sparks fly and despite the attraction that arcs between them neither seem inclined to pursue it.

The chemistry between Noah and Sarah built as they struggled through the creative block they have come up against in their plans for the veterans centre. There were times that I was a little frustrated with Sarah and Noah, one minute they appeared to want one another and the next they were pulling away.
Will Noah and Sarah dare to take a chance? Perhaps with a little help from Uncle Joseph they will get the happily ever after they deserve.

Noah :Anderson Billionaires, Book 2

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

If they both keep running can happiness ever happen?

In another book about the Anderson’s we get a look at Noah and Sarah’s rocky love story. And let’s say it’s a very slow burn. The author has me wanting to strangle Sarah because at times she was just a brat. Not only in her interactions with Noah but also about her worth right out of college. She was not a humble character. Then we have Noah and yes he’s easy to like but I really wanted him to tell her off I mean she rejected him several times. These characters are so well developed. I think that’s why Sarah got under my skin because until about half way through I couldn’t stand her. The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shocking moments. I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout.

Authors Blurb: Salt of the earth navy veteran Noah Anderson is just starting to understand what it means to be exceedingly wealthy. Since he and his four brothers received a huge payout from their long lost billionaire uncle, they’ve been hard at work building a new veterans center and hard at play with the lovely ladies in their lives.

Noah, in charge of designing the center, has been mostly focused on work. However, co-architect Sarah Jennings commands more of his attention all the time. Sparks fly whenever they’re together, but she’s warye ven afraid of love, and Noah isn’t the biggest fan of commitment.

When they reach a creative roadblock, Noah and Sarah decide to jet across the United States and study the buildings that most influence them. The trip quickly inspires more than just a love of architecture, and with a little help from Uncle Joseph, the reluctant couple gets ever closer to discovering what they’re really looking for.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

I loved this book! I am one to steer away from Billionaire troupes but you add military then I am hooked. Noah and Sarah make you fall in love with them!

This is the second book in Melody Anne’s Anderson Billionaires series, and it will definitely be my last read by this author. Where was the romance? Note to the author…..you can’t lable a book romance and then not deliver. As much as I tried, I could not warm to Noah and found the whole story tedious and boring. I would never normally waste my time to review a book I view as worthy of only 1 Star, but as NetGalley kindly approved my misguided request to read the ARC, I felt compelled to post as review. So don’t let the cover fool you, Noah is insufferable and the story is monotonous.

I love the Andersons and this latest edition to the series is a good one. Noah is a lot different than the rest of the Anderson men. He drove me crazy with all his back and forth. Sarah is an interesting character. She is very guarded. I really liked her but wish we got more of an explanation of her past that made her this way.

The book started out a little awkward as there is little explanation of the relationship before the beginning of this book. If you haven't read Finn you may be confused by who these two are. Things quickly pick up and this sweet and sexy romance builds. It's not an easy road and the characters both have a journey to get where they need to be. I love the ending and can't wait for Brandon and Chloe.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series, but reads well as a stand alone. This is not my thing. It is cute but felt contrived. Still enjoyable read. 3.5 stars

This book unfortunately did not capture my interest. I am not a huge fan of the way the story was told and I just did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would based on the genre and description.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I may need a Doctor after reading this book. Or maybe a spelunker? Any person who is able to go inside my cranium to find my eyes is more than welcome. I have rolled them so hard during these days… If no one runs to help me I woulnd’t be offended (you are lucky I’m too blind to see who is denying me help!!). I can admit it is all my fault. When I read the first book of this saga I already could tell this wasn’t my style, but I guess I needed to confirm it. The second Anderson brother is slightly better, but that’s not saying much. Let’s grab a pencil and draw a blueprint for this book!

Last time we were with these guys, we left Noah and Sarah at the hospital after a scary car accident. They are both the architects of the famous project for veterans the Anderson borthers are putting together. It seems that working side by side has made them closer than expected, and Sarah is starting to wonder if it is a good work ethic to keep an intimate relationship with Noah while trying to bring to life the building. This is not a story about love. This is a story about who is more stubborn.

This book doesn’t start that badly. It looked like the consequences of the accident could be an important, and welcome, plot thread and I would have been OK with that. But the author gets rid of it pretty fast and with no mercy. To the point that I am still wondering why the hell the accident took place in the first place if it has zero relevance in the development. One of them should have been crippled by the accident to have something to tell. What story do we have without that? Nothing. The story is pretty hollow. Nothing really happens and there is barely any kind of character development or similar. It is SO boring. I have read it faster than normal to get over this tedious reading that goes nowhere.

The whole book is about that hot potato called love and the people who deny it. There are two roles: the one who wants to get into its business and the one who wants to run as far as possible. There is not a single chapter where both characters are fulfilling the same one at the same time. Sometimes is Noah the lovebird and other is Sarah. Sometimes she is the one who want to escape and other chapters is Noah the one packing a bag to put some distance between them. The worst part is that they change their roles in the least expected moment and behaving in a way that doesn’t make much sense. And that is all the drama this book has, so you can guess this is, overall, a forgettable story that is not going to leave any kind of residue in my memory,

Sadly, that loopy dynamic is not ended in a positive way and we have to suffer one of the worst drama closures I have read in my life. It is laughable, somehow insulting, lazy and pretty much a mess in every aspect. It absolutely killed the meager faith I had in the couple. At least this time the wedsession (I told you guys that word was going to be useful) takes longer to appear… But when it does, its ferocity is such that I wanted to hide under the bed, close my eyes and cover my ears while trying to convince myelf that that wasn’t real. Same technique as with ghosts or other monsters…

The characters are not as bad as in the previous book. Finn is hard to beat, even though his brother Noah took an effort to get the first position. In the sheer amount of a couple of paragraphs I went from having a mildly positive opinion of the guy to hate his guts passionately. He is one of those who drives way faster than permited just beacuse they need it and they have everything under control. Don’t make me express with words where you can stick that need of yours, pal!. If that wasn’t enough, he starts drinking alcohol even though he knows he must drive back to his place. Are you still going to control it even with a bit of a buzz? I like the kind of cockiness that is sexy, not the kind that can kill people. But the final nail in his coffin is the comment he makes at his brother Crew’s place: he trails mud to make sure the cleaner has a job… There is no need of helping to get a house dirty. Dust does all the job for us. I can’t believe this guy is so proud of his humble origins, because that comment made him a total (or should I say utter?) asshole.

I’m running out of venom and there is still a lot that would deserve it: Sarah’s behaviour doesn’t make any sense, Joseph is annoying and creepy, the brothers are waaaay too obsessed with the love lives of each other… Next one in line is going to be Brandon. I’m not sure if I want to keep as far away as possible from it or if my curiosity will snare me again.

This is the second book in the newfound Anderson clan. It is based around Noah and Sarah. This book held my interest a little longer than Finn's book did. The basis of their relationship was more realistic and I could get interested in it. They meet when the Anderson brothers come into town to help build a Veteran's center funded by their long lost uncle Joseph Anderson. The quickly come together hot and heavy but fizzle when an accident has Sarah clinging to her life. Noah is scared that he will just hurt her again and stops their relationship. We see him pursue her slowly and she resists him because she doesn't want to be hurt again. Again, I think that Sarah resists too much, but it does have a good flow throughout the book. I do like how they come together in the end. I wish that we would have seen more of the 'architect' aspects of the book, because, after all, this is how they come together, but overall, I liked this book.

Great book, fabulous series, it was good to hear about how the other characters are too. Totally recommend the book and series.

I couldn’t really get into Noah and Sarah’s story. First, the beginning of the story seemed out of place. There was nothing leading up to it and it almost seemed like a part of their story that belonged later on in the book.
Second, Sarah was almost annoying in how hard she fought against wanting to be with Noah. And I have no idea how Noah stuck around as long as he did. He seemed to know what he wanted but she was so wishy washy.
Of course this is a romance but the story that went along with it was not enough to keep me interested.
3 stars.

The Anderson family patriarch pairs off another perfect match!

Noah and Sarah, both architects, are working together on the veteran's center organized by his "uncle" Joseph Anderson. Joseph is involving all five of his newest nephews, Noah and his four brothers, and this is the second book in the series (Finn found his romance in the first).

This one was a bit confusing at first, even though I'd read Finn, as it wasn't quite clear what Noah's and Sarah's relationship was before her near-death car accident, nor was it clear what impact the accident had on their relationship after. What we know is that they dated before, but hadn't resumed dating after the accident. Then, when they start working together on the plans for the center, Noah wants to pursue something serious while Sarah doesn't have much faith in happily-ever-afters and doesn't want a relationship to distract them from their professional goals.

I wish there had been more care given to explaining the foundation of their relationship, but eventually I did get on board with it. Noah is singularly devoted to Sarah, and uses their extensive time together to show her how great they are as a couple.

The monkey wrench thrown in just as Sarah was beginning to believe in their future seemed to come out of nowhere, as if added just for the dramatic effect, making it really hard for me to believe in their solid HEA when it does finally come. But, I can see the big picture, and it does work out well for them as Joseph sets up the next couple in the project (and the next book in the series). I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I was given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and independent review.

I love reading Melody Anne’s books and this series of books has been great so far. Whilst each book can be read as a standalone, I love getting to know the characters and getting investigated in their lives. Plus the anticipation for the next book is always there.

As always, this was a well written, slightly steamy romance with a hero to die for. Perfect reading for escape from the current global pandemic. Could not put it down.
4.5 stars

This book jumps in right into the middle of the story. Since I haven’t read the earlier books in the series, I wasn’t sure exactly what was going on. Apparently, Noah and Sarah have been having an affair. She works for him as architects in building a center for veterans. He and his siblings just found out some time before the book begins that their uncle is a billionaire and he’s giving them money so that they are not suddenly billionaires als.

The opening scene is Sarah and Noah in a car accident and she’s badly injured. Alright, I think that is going to be part of the plot. But no. Then we jump several months later and she’s all better. The accident is just referred to a few times and that’s it. Now she’s spending her time trying to resist the chemistry between her and Noah. And he’s trying to convince her that they could be something special together. Or at least have some smoking hot sex. So it’s rinse and repeat. He advances, she retreats, and then she gives in to a smoldering kiss. Then she tries to resist some more. I found I couldn’t care what happened to either of them.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

Definitely not my favorite in this series...and honestly Sarah annoyed me throughout most of the book. Her hot and cold nature for some reason rankled me, but she had every reason to be gun shy with Noah. He walked away when she needed him the most, after their accident Sarah was left broken and Noah left her. Definitely not his finest hour but he realized the error in his mistake.

The closer to the end of the book I got the more I sided with Sarah in this book...Noah was a dumbass and needed a wake up call with a reality check and him leaving gave him that.

As I said this wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t bad either, I just wasn’t feeling this book for some reason. I think that was more on me than the book though. As I said this wasn’t a bad book at all, it was just a bad time for me to read it as I wasn’t in the right mind frame to read this type of book as this moment.

2.5☆

3 Stars

Sarah is an architect who is hired to help with the new project. Noah is also an architect so it felt clear about what was going to happen and I was good with it. The first chapter felt really interesting but then it got tedious. Now I don’t hate this story, but I do feel it was kind of repetitive and boring at times.

The monologue, and the way the story describes everything felt too much and it did distract from the story. The story in itself is good, it just feels odd to have Joseph Anderson in every single story. I feel like there’s no need for so much of it.

It was easy to get lost in and I felt like I was in their world which is a good feeling but overall it wasn’t my favourite read.

I didn't like this one as much as Finn. I tried to get into it but failed. I was unable to finish it. I was a bit disappointed on the slowness of the book. I will continue the series in hopes that the next will be better. Melody Anne is a great author but this one fell short for me.
