Joseph Anderson strikes again. This time his matchmaking sights are on Chloe and Brandon.
As in each of the book in the series, you find an awesome story with great characters,
Chloe, resist her feelings to Brandon.
Brandon wants relationship with Chloe, but is not sure where this relationship will go.
Loved reading about them.

Entertainment right off the back. The prologue sucked me in and meddling Joseph Anderson cracks me up!
He gets what he wants and his next “project” is to bring his nephew together with a wonderful woman named Chloe.

Within Chapter One and I was completely hooked with Brandon and Chloe!
Chloe fights the attraction she has with Brandon because relationships aren’t perfect and she was raised to live by complete perfection. Anything less is a failure.
The electric attraction, the pull and tension between these two just keeps you at the edge of your seat. I felt almost tortured (in a good way) for these two to just come together and live HEA.

The Andersen Family have been working hard on creating a Veteren’s Center to give back to their community. The discussion around this is amazing and heart warming as it hits on the current need to take care of our soldiers as they take care of our country for us.
So much I wish this was a real story but gives hope others find this story inspirational to make a difference in the real world.

There was so much I loved about this book, the amazing characters, the attraction, the friendships and the hot scenes. This is a great stand alone but I’m wondering why I’ve waited so long to read Melody Anne’s books.
I feel she has you fall in love with the characters so much you want to go back and read the others to just get more. I didn’t want this to end.
The ending was beautiful however the Epilogue is gets you curious, and leaves you on a hook. Now I’m really really wondering what happens next....


I received this ARC by NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. The opinion given is mine alone and not influenced by anyone else.

I actually have the first book in this series by Melody Anne and it's on my TBR list but I haven't gotten to it yet. However, I was happy to see that NetGalley had an early copy of this book (third in the series) and so I settled in to read this book. The premise is that Chloe and Brandon had a one night stand and Brandon was enamored with her. Chloe, while attracted to Brandon, didn't want a relationship. But Brandon is persistent- can he overcome her really really high walls to get their HEA?

I think the issue I had with this book was, well, Chloe. I don't think I understand why she is so anti-relationship. Her parents were hard on her but by her own account, not unloving. I didn't feel such a strong chemistry between the characters which would explain why Brandon would keep going to Chloe even though she wasn't very nice to him.

I did like the peek into the other characters featured in earlier books. While this is standalone, there was frequent mention of the other brothers and their wives (who are Chloe's best friends). I still plan on reading the first of the series and it remains on my TBR list.

Chloe and Brandon's story is both
Tenuous and romantic. This is not what she ever saw for herself and if it weren't for his persistence...well I won't ruin it for you. I love the Anderson family and never tire of Joseph and his meddling.
Another wonderful match. Absolutely delightful.

Sometimes an author gets so deep into a series that the next books in the series that they lose the story line of the present book. Even though we didn't see a lot of the extended family - I felt like we spent most of the book talking about where things had been. Joseph Anderson's matchmaking skills (and how Chloe was resisting being matched with Brandon). We also spent a lot of time talking about the friendship between Chloe, Brooke, and Sarah. I felt like Chloe and Brandon's relationship somewhat got lost along the way. Maybe it was a lack of tension? I'm not sure exactly where things went wrong for me.

Chloe is resistant to a relationship with Brandon - to a quite extreme degree. She slept with him after her best-friend's wedding to Brandon's brother - but wanted it to be a one-night stand. Brandon was no on board with that and was determined to fight to date her. Chloe is a perfectionist and very independent. She is a strong business woman and doesn't feel the need to make room in her life for a man or a relationship. Brandon keeps pushing her - but Chloe (while very turned on by Brandon) is afraid of what being in a relationship with him would mean. Would it mean giving up some of herself? some of her independence? What if things go bad - how will it affect her relationship with her friends who are both married to Brandon's brother.

Brandon meanwhile - is wholly focused on Chloe. He is a successful businessman in his own right and has spent the last few years really maturing and coming into his own. He isn't threatened by Chloe's success and only wants to support her and build her up.

The problem is - I just didn't really feel their connection - and after Chloe's resistance to the relationship, the ending ultimately felt more like her giving in than wanting to really be with Brandon.

I just didn't love this iteration of the series. I have only read two others - so maybe I just didn't feel the connection to the family that others would feel? I was also kind of irked by some of the subplots and didn't love the plastic perfection of the characters.

I wish I had liked it more!

I received an ARC for this book from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

This is the third book in the Anderson Billionaires series. I enjoyed the first book in the series (Finn), thought the second was so-so (Noah) and found that this one again disappointed me. It was long-winded and just boring during whole sections. I was really tired of Chloe and just wanted Brandon to move on. I didn't understand where her anti-relationship stance came from, even knowing that her parents were such perfectionists growing up. And the sudden change in her parents towards her came out of nowhere. I cannot recommend this one and really debating whether to read the next book in the series.

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

I’ve loved each book in this series so far. Love how much Brandon falls for Chloe. But she sure is resisting having a relationship. But they have such chemistry. Love the sense of family they have. It’s a very sweet and sexy romance with a really great happy ever after. I highly recommend this book.

A story of how upbringing affects the thinking of the 2 people in this story, will they or won’t they succeed, small town and a Matchmaker in the family rooting for them this is a lovely read. Enjoyed the wit and banter between Brandon and Chloe, looking forward to the next book in this series.
