COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
Bella Andre

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan
Posted March 21, 2014

Romance Contemporary

Bella Andre comes in strong with COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER, her seventh book in The Sullivans series. The series surrounds a big, endearing and overachieving family.

Smith Sullivan is a hotshot movie star who is focused on his work. His current project involves working with Valentina Landon, a Hollywood business manager. Though things start off as strictly business, neither Smith nor Valentina can deny the bevy of fireworks that erupt when they are together.

Yet it's not that simple. Especially when Valentina is determined to guard her heart from actors who act like they believe in a Hollywood happily-ever-after story, only to have it crash and burn at the end of a shoot.

Bella Andre is no stranger to strong contemporary romances. Her writing fits the genre so perfectly that readers don't realize how quickly they go through one of her books until they reach the end. There's just something addicting about Andre's writing style that makes it almost impossible to stop reading once you start. The characters are always well- developed, multi-layered beings who readers can form an emotional attachment to. From the beginning of the story, I always find myself wholly engaged in the story and the characters.

In COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER, sexy banter and red-hot passion are just some of the ingredients that make up this delicious contemporary romance. Pair that with sweet family antics, and you've got another winner in The Sullivans series!

I'm beginning to wonder if Bella Andre possesses a special recipe for her books because each time, her books are devoured by readers clamouring for more!

SUMMARY

Fame, fortune, and falling in loveยฆ Movie star Smith
Sullivan can't afford any distractions. He's staking his
entire reputation on his new filmยฆbut he can't stop thinking
about Valentina Landon and the fire he sees smoldering just
beneath the surface of her cool exterior.

Valentina isn't
averse to sensual pleasure, or even to the idea of finding
true love, but as a Hollywood business manager she's watched
too many smart women fall for actorsยฆonly to be torn apart
when the fairy tale comes to its inevitable end. But when
intense weeks together on set turn their heated attraction
into red-hot flames of passion, Smith knows he has to find a
way to convince Valentina to let him get a little bit
closer. Close enough to completely steal her heartยฆthe way
she's stolen his from the beginning.
