After reading the previous five books in the Cloverleigh Farms series, I knew I would want to read every book by Melanie Harlow that came out. So when I saw that ‘Ignite’, book six would be published I got so excited. I signed up before I even read the book description. And as soon as ...KEEP READING »
After reading four books in the Cloverleigh Farms series, I really wanted to read ‘Undeniable’ too. This was the last book in the series I still had to read, so when I got a little time on my reading schedule I decided to finally read this one. ‘Undeniable’ is book two in the series, but can easily be read as a standalone.
In ‘Undeniable’ we read the story of Chloe and Oliver. Chloe and Oliver have grown up together, and have definitely always been good in challenging each other. They even have broken bones together. Chloe and Oliver have been best friends, but when they grew older things changed between them. And not for the good. Chloe has given Oliver a lot of chances, and Oliver .. them all. So when Oliver offers her something she has want for a long time, she is reluctant to give in. But the one thing Chloe isn’t good in is resisting Oliver.
I’ve been curious about Chloe and Oliver’s story for a while now, and I was super excited to finally be able to start reading. And after I started reading, I definitely couldn’t stop. This book is both written through Chloe and Oliver’s point of view, and it alternates between the past and the present. This might sound confusing, but it wasn’t at all and simple worked for the story.
The two main characters Chloe and Oliver where fun to get to know. I loved how Chloe was very determined to work hard for her dream. She wanted to stand up for herself, and she didn’t trust Oliver in the slightest. And she definitely let him know that. It made for some funny moments.
Oliver was a privileged guy I honestly didn’t like so much. He was very juvenile in my opinion, and I thought he was very lucky Chloe seemed to be unable to resist him. He didn’t deserve all the changes he got if you ask me. And the fact I didn’t like one of the main characters as much, made the romance a bit rough for me. I enjoyed it, but definitely didn’t love it.
Although ‘Undeniable’ wasn’t my favorite read of the series, I enjoyed finally learning the story of Chloe and Oliver. And I definitely would love to read more books by Melanie Harlow in the future.
‘Unforgettable’ is already the fifth book in the Cloverleigh Farms series and it was the fourth one I read. And let me tell you, what a great series. I love small town stories and stories about big close families (probably because that’s far away from real life for me) and this series has all that. So when I was able to start reading ‘Unforgettable’ I was super excited.
In ‘Unforgettable’ we meet April Sawyer. April is the second oldest Sawyer sister and has lived with a big secret for years now. And this secret has made April one of those people that is hard to get close too. Now April is determined to change things around. She is telling her sisters about her big secret, and she is starting to look for the ‘one’. Soon after April meets the guy who she lost her virginity to all those years ago, Tyler Shaw, a bigtime baseball player. They were always only friends, until that night. And now they meet again.
Throughout each book, we get to read little bits about the other sisters too. And April was always a sister which story I really wanted to know. I don’t know why exactly, but she just always fascinated me. And after reading book I can definitely say, April is one of those girls that I would definitely like to be friends with. She is hardworking, caring and fun. But she has always been to hard on herself, and I loved reading how she slowly found herself back.
This book had a sports element in it with the main character Tyler, and I really enjoyed reading it. Yes, baseball isn’t a big thing here in The Netherlands. But I got all excited about it through this book. And Tyler’s character was definitely fun too. Yes, he is a bit arrogant and since I’m not really into sports myself, I don’t really get him that much.. but I still loved his character.
And don’t even get me started about the chemistry between Tyler and April. It was there from the moment they met again after all these years, and it only got more intense. I loved how they where above all friends. They where so comfortable with each other. Definitely something to be jealous about! Sigh..
And the best part about this book was definitely that there was more than only romance. I enjoyed the friendship, sports, adoption parts really much too.
Yes, this book was another fun one and I can’t believe it’s already the final book in the series. I only still have to read the second book, and it’s waiting patiently for me on my kindle. I’ll go start that one soon.
These last view months I’ve been reading the Cloverleigh Farms series by Melanie Harlow. Although these books are part of a series, they can easily be read as standalones. I’ve previously read book three and four in this series, so when I saw that ‘Irresistible’, the first book in the series was for free on Amazon, I couldn’t resist.
In ‘Irresistible’ we read the story of single dad Mack and the youngest Sawyer sister Frannie. Mack is the single dad to his three young daughters. Life is definitely a bit of a struggle at moments. Taking care of three little girls, doing their hair, work, making dinner and trying to make his ex-wife not promise his girls thing she doesn’t plan to follow through.. yes it’s a struggle. And Frannie doesn’t make things easier. Frannie takes care of his girls, is his boss’s daughter, is ten years younger and really beautiful. Frannie is definitely everything he should stay away from.
Well.. I loved the previous two books in this series I read, and I loved this book too. It was just so good. There’s something about these Sawyer sisters that I really like. I think it’s because they are so ‘normal’ and kind. And combine that with the little town of Cloverleigh, and it just works for me.
Mack and Frannie have a lot of chemistry going on between them. It was honestly flying of these pages. And although the romance really was amazing to read about, I think I loved the whole single dad part the most. Mack and his daughters where just so sweet. He is such a wonderful father, and I loved those moments were he thought he was failing.. but those just made him more human. And as a mom myself, I could definitely imagine how he was feeling.
Another great thing about this read is the fact we get to read the story from both Mack and Frannie point of view. That really made this book even more perfect. I loved reading how these two characters grew closer and closer. And I simple couldn’t stop reading until I finished every single page.
‘Irresistible’ was definitely another five star read for me. And I can’t wait to read book two, and book five (coming in 2020).
After I read ‘Insatiable’ by Melanie Harlow a little while back, I completely fell in love with the Sawyer sisters and I’ve been dying to read more books in this series. So when I got the opportunity to read the fourth book in the Cloverleigh Farms series I couldn’t resist and sign up for the blog tour. Soon after receiving the ARC, I was able to start reading.
In ‘Unbreakable’ we follow the oldest Sawyer sister Sylvia. Sylvia has recently gone through a terrible divorce leaving her without any self-esteem, and two kids. When Sylvia’s Ex doesn’t seem to really want to spend his time with their kids, she decides to go back to the town she grew up to stay with her parents for a little while and start over. What she didn’t expect was to see Henry, the way she did. Henry has been working for her parents for a while, but now they are both divorced and although he was always handsome.. Henry seems even more handsome now. And he makes Sylvia feel all these things she hasn’t felt in years, and possible ever.
Right from the very first page, ‘Unbreakable’ was another book I really loved. I simple loved Sylvia, the mom, and Henry the hard working kind of nerdy handsome guy. They had a connection that I could feel flying of these pages. As a mom myself I get how Sylvia was determined to make her kids lives better again. Even if that meant losing the one guy that made her feel happy again after a long and unhappy marriage. And Henry’s character was just so damn cute. I loved how we got to read this story through both there point of views.
There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like about this book. Sure, I don’t like rushed stories, and this romance is kind of sudden. But it was just perfectly them, and I loved it. And the more I think about this story now, the more I start to love it. It was just such a fun romantic read.
The writing in ‘Unbreakable’ was easy to follow, and pulled me right into this story. I loved the way the author was able to make me really feel so much. I definitely can’t wait to read the stories of the other Sawyer sisters.
