About this listen

With The Look of Love, best-selling author Bella Andre introduces you to a fun and emotional contemporary romance series about the Sullivan family. Because when a Sullivan bad boy falls...he falls hard. And it's forever.

Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?

As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is - until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love-and protect-her, but will she let him?

Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her - and every sinfully sweet caress - as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can't help but wonder if she's met the only exception. And although Chase didn't realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn't the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he's gearing up for a different fight altogether - for Chloe's heart.

(NOTE: Explicit language, very steamy sex scenes...and lots of emotion!)

An easy listen on a windy night.

Wow...one of the more Erotic books I've listened to, but liked the family dynamics, the characters & the happy ending.

Good story.

Good overall. I believe the narrator had a cold during the recording which is kind of odd during the love scenes.

Loved this book!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Look of Love to be better than the print version?

I loved this so much that I had to continue reading the series. I can't wait for the 3rd book to come out so I can find out what happens! The narration was great and spot on!

Outstanding feel good novel

I loved this first book. One thing that bugged me was the compressed time-frame. Everything happens in one week's time. That brings you close to the line of unbelievable. Other than that, all of the other events hang together. Another disappointing aspect was Andre didn't introduce us to many of the character in the Sullivan family -- only one of the eight, and then only because the next book is about him. I would have preferred character development around the main characters that help cement the follow-on novels.

Taking into account the above, I still like this novel very much. Dialog was great and the villain hate-able. Andre did fill out her main character well and made you care about their choices. Kaminsky's narrative is excellent -- just the right cadence and intonation.

You get sucked into the novel and find yourself buzzing through it. Once done you say, "well, let me download the series." I give this first novel in the series a thumbs up.

absolutely perfect

I have read each book of this series and thoroughly enjoyed them. I am so happy I chose to give the audio a try. The performance was amazing. Ms Eva sounds just as I pictured Chloe to sound. Chase and Chloe remain my favorite Sullivan couple to date and Eva's rendering has reinforced this. What an amazing way to fall in love all over again.

Cute and sweet

Part of a series. Best to read in order because of spoilers for background from other books.

Sweet characters. Cute romance. Lots of passion. Sexy times are PG / vanilla.

Narration is excellent.

Thought This Was a Sweet Romance But a Lot of Sex

Would you try another book from Bella Andre and/or Eva Kaminsky?

Sure, I enjoyed it. It was not a 'heavy' read or intellectual challenge. I listened at 1.5 speed because the narrator was slow - or maybe the story was slow. It was only 6 hours long but it felt longer.

Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?

As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is - until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love-and protect-her, but will she let him?

Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her - and every sinfully sweet caress - as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can't help but wonder if she's met the only exception. And although Chase didn't realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn't the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he's gearing up for a different fight altogether - for Chloe's heart.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I was not surprised by the ending.

What three words best describe Eva Kaminsky’s voice?

Smooth and nice (I know, and is not a descriptive word.)

Do you think The Look of Love needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Sure, there are 6 or 7 siblings and I think there are books for the others. It's a sweet (with naughty bits) series.

Any additional comments?

The publisher has this "NOTE: Explicit language, very steamy sex scenes...and lots of emotion!"

I'll pick up the others IF they go on sale-under $6...I wouldn't use credits based on this first try.

Review:


"The Look of Love" by Bella Andre was truly a romantic story of Chase and Chloe. I felt this novel was a good introduction to the 'Sullivan Family' and I will be reading the rest of all twelve of this series. "The Look of Love" was a beautiful told love story of Chase Sullivan who was quite some man in that he was just that ...quite a 'sweet' man. Then there was Chloe Peterson who Chase had met on the side of the road that had some real issues that she had to deal with. Will Chase be able to help Chloe with these issues? Truly Chase believed he could help the 'Lovely Chloe' but would she want his help? This is where I say you must pick up the good read to find out how this author will bring it all out to the reader. Be ready for a lovely heartwarming story with some hot steamy encounter that will leave you saying Wow! Would I recommend? YES!
