Irresistible

By: Susan Mallery

Narrated by: Cecelia Frontero

It wasn't just her homemade brownies that made Walker find Elissa irresistible....

When ex-Marine Walker Buchanan stops to help Elissa Towers change a tire, he tells himself it's just the neighborly thing to do. And when Elissa finds herself baking him a thank-you pie, she's just returning the favor...right?

Both of them have sworn off dating: Elissa's determined to protect her little girl, and that means ditching her taste for dangerous men...especially former Marines with dark secrets.

Walker knows that he's not cut out for hearth and home...his own crazy family made sure of that.

But the sparks won't stop flying between them.

Now the two are struggling to keep their relationship "just friends", but with every kiss, their rules fly out the window.

Critic reviews

"Mallery is at her addictive best in the charming second installment of her Buchanan family saga....The best-selling author crafts vivid characters and a winning story about the risk and joy of second love, studded with warm, alluring sex scenes." (Publishers Weekly)

Predictable but Rated R!

Very predictable sappy romance. Rated R pieces so be prepared!

Not as good as the first..

The second book in the Bucannon Series was a bit disappointing. Found myself rolling my eyes often at the direction of the story. I like the characters that were introduced in the first book but they have lost there luster in this presentation. The narrator a disappointment after listening to Therese Plummer (my favorite) and the voices she chose for the two main characters slow and dull. Still a light read and basic love story with the expected ending.

Really great audiobook

Cecelia Frontero did an amazing job of narrating this book, she gets just the right variation in voices and makes the males voices sound masculine without over doing it.
This story was sweet and easy to listen to. The book kept moving well and the characters were really relatable and had enough backstory and depth that I cared what happened to them and cared if they got their happy ending.

Almost too sweet

I’m glad Therese Plummer is reading the other books in this series. It is amazing how much her readings add to a story.

Enjoyable!

This is the story of a troubled Marine and a frightened woman hiding her child from the child’s drug abusing father. Neither person is looking for a relationship, Elyssa has trust issues and a young daughter to take care of and protect, Walker is a psychological battle scarred military Veteran. Various issues, problems keep throwing these two together, not to mention the lil girl whose sweet innocent had a way of worming herself into Walker’s heart. This is book two in the series, and we got to witness Penny’s baby being born, catch up with Reid, watch Gloria take a fall, and Naomi returns happy and content. The only sad part is the sister, hopefully we will see her in a later book.

The narrator did a commendable job, made the story quite enjoyable.
