About this ebook

“Liam is my favorite hero Bella Andre has written! I cried, I laughed and I cheered. CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU is an amazing book!” 5 stars, Claire

“When I want a true romance, I turn to Bella Andre. Love just pours off the pages!” 5 stars, Kitty, Guilty Pleasures

Christie Hayden escaped to Summer Lake to heal from heartbreak, but found so much more than that: a job she loves as an innkeeper, a close-knit community of friends, and a chance at the perfect romantic future she’s always longed for. But nothing is as it seems, especially when it comes to Liam Kane, the gorgeous millionaire who sweeps into her life from out of the blue…and instantly turns it—and her heart—upside down.

The first time Liam Kane lays eyes on Christie, he’s a total goner. He knows he should keep his distance, because he’s not capable of giving her the happily-ever-after she’s looking for. But when it comes to her smiles, her laughter, her kindness—and her sweetly sinful kisses—for the first time in his life, he can’t hang on to his self-control. Not when the love she offers him is everything he never thought he could have, but now craves with every fiber of his being.

But Liam has been keeping a secret for twenty years, one that nearly destroyed him—one that has the potential to tear his whole family apart too. When Christie can’t stop herself from trying to help out of pure love, will Liam be able to let himself heal? Or will they both end up broken, leaving her to pick up the pieces all over again?

5 STAR REVIEWS:

"It is always a very special treat to have a new Bella Andre book to read! She has been one of my all time favorites since the first book I read. CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU is very aptly named, as I could not take my eyes off of it till the last word on the last page, at 4:15am. Definitely worth missing sleep over! I feel emotionally wrung dry after reading it, but would I read it again? HECK YEAH!"

"Bella Andre has given us another fabulous addition in this series. I loved CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU! Highly recommend!"

"I honestly don't know how I survived without Bella Andre's beautiful romances!"

"CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU is another 5 star read from Bella Andre! She really knows how to do romance!"

"Bella Andre never disappoints! CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU will grab you from the first page! There are so many twists and turns and secrets in this book that you will not be able to put it down!"

I fell in love with Summer Lake when we first visited there with the Sullivans. I loved so many of the residents and was excited to see they would get their very own stories in a spin-off series. Christie Hayden was one of those characters I really wanted to know more about and I'm so glad to get her story in Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You. When we first met Christie, she had been engaged to her best friend Wesley Kane, but they have since called off the wedding and the next day Wesley disappeared to leave Christie to handle the inn and his family. He also make Christie promise not to share the real reason for them ending their engagement. I love that Christie is such a great friend to everyone she meets. Christie is such a strong person who is truly only loving to find her true love and happiness. Enter Wesley's older brother Liam, who has sold his business, is only back in Summer Lake because he was coming home for Christie and Wesley's wedding. As he has been traveling out of the country he never received the letter Wesley sent him about the cancellation of the wedding. As Liam has a very stressful relationship with his parents, he tends to stay away from Summer Lake. However, once he meets Christie, there is no way he can leave, even if it means being around his parents again. I loved seeing Liam change the more time his spent around Christie. She does as well, as Liam challenges Christie to face her fears along the way, but Liam finally seems to find the means to forgive his mom thanks to Christie. Liam and Christie had amazing chemistry and yet there was also a sweetness about them that totally made me sign when I thought of them as a couple.Yes mistakes between them are made, but they each went big in the end to show how much they loved one another. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You was another winner from Bella Andre. Once again Ms. Andre made me fall in love with the setting as well as the couple in the center of the story. I loved that Christie and Liam's romance was front and center, yet the entire Kane family was also the focus as we learned about three generations in Summer Lake. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You gave me all the feels and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary romance. Rating: 5 stars (A-)

I'm always excited to read anything from Bella Andre, and was lucky enough to recieve an ARC, and hand on heart, I think this is the best book she has written so far. The story focuses on InnKeeper Christie, who after calling of her engagement to Wesley, is left to face the music when he disappears. He has a good reason to leave, one that he has sworn Christie to keep from everyone, and because she loves her friend, she does, no matter how uncomfortable it gets. However when Wesleys older brother Liam arrives, having not got the message the wedding is off, he becomes very suspicious of our heroine. He is also very attracted to her and is torn between loyalty to his brother and his hunger for this woman. What makes this book special is the character development, they each have a secret they are keeping and it is destroying them both. They are good people who put others first, and the secrets they hold chip away at their souls. Especially Liam, who because of an event in his past, has cut himself off from those who love him, and want to love him, and as a reader you can feel his pain, so much that you want to give him a hug. Christie is perfect for him, and as the story and relationship develops, they both face up to the past. I think I'm slightly in love with Liam, he is my favourite hero Andre has written, I cried, I laughed and I cheered......An amazing book

Welcome Back to Summer Lake. Christie and Wesley were going to get married, but Wesley left town abruptly. Wesley has a secret, but Christie won’t share his secret for it is for him to tell. Wesley’s mother blames Christie for him leaving. Christie has been left to run their inn and festival by herself. The day before their wedding Wesley’s brother Liam lands at the inn not knowing that the wedding has being cancelled. Liam has been away on business for many years and has finally returned to Summer Lake. He wants to know the truth of why his brother left but Christie won’t say. He finds out that is brother sent him a letter, telling him he was leaving and to take care of Christie. But that is all no other explanation. Christie and Liam are both fighting the attractions that both have for each other. Liam is loving that fact that Christie is so caring, kind and determined in everything she does. Christie just broke up with Wesley and Liam is his brother she can’t fall for him. That would not be right. There are so many secrets’ in Summer Lake will they all be revealed? Will Christie finally fall in love with the right man? Will there be a happily ever after [HEA]? I am very pleased to be able to receive and review this book for Bella Andre. Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You is a great love story. This book draws its readers in from the beginning of the book with the plot. It has numerous unexpected twists in the story line that keeps the reader interested in what is to come next. The love and the secrets will make this book one that you will not want to put down. If you enjoyed book one in the series than you are going to love this book just as much or if not more. I must say that this book was one that I had trouble putting down. I would recommend this book to all who enjoy a great love story. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book
