Review - I Only Have Eyes For You (The Sullivans, #4) by Bella Andre

I Only Have Eyes for You - Bella Andre

Get ready for another Sullivan to fall in love in Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series!

Sophie Sullivan, a librarian in San Francisco, was five years old when she fell head over heels in love with Jake McCann. Twenty years later, she's convinced the notorious bad boy still sees her as the "nice" Sullivan twin. That is, when he bothers to look at her at all. But when they both get caught up in the magic of the first Sullivan wedding, she knows it's long past time to do whatever it takes to make him see her for who she truly is...the woman who will love him forever.

Jake has always been a magnet for women, especially since his Irish pubs made him extremely wealthy. But the only woman he really wants is the one he can never have. Not only is Sophie his best friend's off-limits younger sister...he can't risk letting her get close enough to discover his deeply hidden secret.

Only, when Sophie appears on his doorstep as Jake's every fantasy come to life-smart, beautiful, and shockingly sexy-he doesn't have a prayer of taking his eyes, or his hands, off her. And he can't stop craving more of her sweet smiles and sinful kisses. Because even though Jake knows loving Sophie isn't the right thing to do...how can he possibly resist?

 

Another sweet Sullivan love story (why do I feel that all of my reviews for these books start the same way?!!!). Sophie is the youngest Sullivan sibling and has always been the “Nice” Sullivan twin. She has always had feelings for Jake, who is her brother Zack’s best friend and has been considered part of the family since they were both kids. Jake has always loved Sophie, but knows she is off-limits to him because he will never be good enough for her. When Sophie takes matters in to her own hands and sets out to seduce Jake, one night of passion they share results in circumstances that will change both their lives forever.

 

This was a sweet, quick read that keeps you believing in happy ever afters and the power of true love. It was fun to watch Sophie break out of her shell and show a more assertive side. Her seduction of Jake and her ability to shock him with some of the things that come out of her mouth were priceless. Jake was a total sweetheart, even though he was acting like a typical thick-headed guy by keeping Sophie at arms-length “for her own good” – come on, when has “for her own good” ever been just that?!!! I loved that he turned to total mush when it came to Sophie and making sure she was taken care of…a bit on the crazy side of extreme at times, but sweet none-the-less!

 

It was also great to get to know a few of the other Sullivan’s a bit better – all of the sibling’s toasts at Chase & Chloe’s wedding were wonderful and seeing Smith interact with Sophie showed more of the family dynamic. It was also great to see Lori and Sophie interact – in the previous books they have been fighting with one another, so it was so nice to see them band together when Sophie needs Lori’s support.

 

Another great story - can't wait to find out what Zack's story is going to be!
