WOW!!! Bella Andre does it again with another incredible story from the Sullivan Family. Sophie and Jake's love for one another is so amazing. I got drawed in at the very beginning and could not put it down till I was finished. The saga of the Sullivan Family just keeps getting better and better. The love, support and dedication that this family has for each other is amazing. I can't wait to read about Zach, but I'm really waiting for Smith's book (he's very interesting). If you have not read about the Sullivan family they are a must read.
It's early into 2012 but this book just got pushed to the top of my list for Best Books read. It's a must read....

I have loved all of the Sullivan Books but Sophie and Jake are by far my favorite so far!!!! I loved to watch them give into the love they knew they already felt but were so determined to ignore. Can't wait to see their family in future books! I know Zach's story is next but I am so looking forward to Lori's :-)

Another great installment to this fantastic family series!! This book is about Sophie, or as the family calls her, "Nice". She is one of the twin girls (Lori is Naughty) in this family of eight siblings. Being "Nice" means that her six older brothers and family friend Jake have always put her in a sweet little protected box. Sophie is tired of the box and the moniker and decides it's time to claim her own fate...and sets out to seduce Jake on the night of Chase and Chloe's wedding. And that's where this fabulous story begins.
I love the chemistry in this book. Sophie and Jake have been friends forever, but they are also complete opposites. He's a tattooed bad boy who has made his career from running and creating Irish pubs. She's a librarian with her nose always buried in a book. Regardless of those differences, they have both always harbored secret feelings for the other. The difference is Sophie wants the relationship while Jake doesn't think that he's good enough for her. Most of the family agrees with him. They know him and his womanizing ways. They just don't realize that most of it is a front to cover and bury his feelings for Sophie. I thought they were wonderful together!
The only reason that I marked the rating down a little on this one was because the story wasn't anything new. I knew exactly where the story was going, but that didn't keep me from enjoying the story every step of the way.
Once again, I have to say how much I am enjoying this series. There are still four stories yet to come out...Yippee!! We still have Smith (world famous actor), Lori (professional choreographer), Zach (mechanic and confirmed bachelor), and Ryan (professional baseball player). Zach's book is next. I cannot wait to read his story. He is the one in the family who has completely dogged everyone else as they have fallen in love. This confirmed bachelor is going to fall HARD when he falls. I can't wait to see who Bella chooses for his heroine!
If you like Contemporary Romance novels that follow a family, I highly recommend this series!!
The series:
1. The Look of Love: Chase (pro photographer) and Chloe - B rating
2. From This Moment On: Marcus (vintner) and Nicola - A rating
3. Can't Help Falling in Love: Gabe (firefighter) and Megan - A rating
4. I Only Have Eyes for You: Sophie (librarian) and Jake - B+ rating

These are two characters that certainly make an impact. Sophie and Jake are both like books with the wrong pictures on the cover. Once you open them you find something unexpected, but so much better. Started it this morning and didnt put it down till I finished it. While not necessary, I do recommend reading the series in order.

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Two months into 2012 and I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU by Bella Andre has raised the bar my for favorite books of 2012 to astronomical heights.
Sophie Sullivan aka NICE to her twin's Lori's NAUGHTY. Sophie has grown up surrounded by the love of her 7 siblings and her mother. Sophie is the "normal" one in a family full of superstars and even with all of their love and companionship she has lived her life in the shadows of their shine. Tired of being the "good" girl she decides to go after the man she fell in love with when she was five years old.
At ten years old, Jake McCann was convinced he was unlovable, a failure and unworthy of affection or success. All his life he wanted someone to love, someone to love him, he wanted to fit in, but gave up hope of ever achieving it. In his mind if the two people who should have loved him unconditionally, turned their backs on him, why would anyone else love him. The only happiness Jake knew growing up was when he became friends with the Sullivan clan. Through the years Jake thought of Sophie as a younger sister, but as she got older he had to fight deeper feelings for her. In his mind he was not worthy of her nor the happiness he could achieve with her.
Jake and Sophie have one night of out of this world passion, that neither can forget, nor did they imagine the overwhelming emotional repercussions that would result from that night. When they realize they can't ignore what happened they commence on a journey filled with laughter, tears, joy, fear, hope, sensuality and love. Not to mention dealing with Sophie's six overprotective brothers, who happen to be Jake's long time friends.
Ms. Andre drew me into Sophie and Jake's story from the very beginning with superbly written depictions of Sophie and Jake's feelings, tastefully and well paced love scenes, a dominant man fighting his inner demons for the only woman he's ever loved and a NICE girl who is determined not to finish last. The Sullivan family's love, dedication and support of each other is beautifully portrayed and leaves you feeling like one of the family.
Every single aspect of the plot in I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU is on my list of favorite romance scenarios. There is not one thing I can say was wrong with it.
Not only has Ms. Andre created an emotionally packed, heartbreaking, heartwarming story of love, faith and hope with I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU, she has also created an amazing, epic family saga with the Sullivan series. Ms. Andre includes Momma Sullivan and all of the Sullivan siblings in every story and each book just gets better and better.
I can't give much more as far as details about Jake and Sophie's journey to their HEA without spoiling the story, but I can share a couple of my favorite moments (this is only a couple, I think I highlighted something as my favorite on literally every page of the book)
(Sophie) "You should know that any progress you just made with me (...)has just been eradicated by that stupid smirk on your face." (...) "I made some progress, huh?" (...) "The orgasms might have won you a few points, (...) but the way you're acting now just put you back into negative territory. Way back."
He didn't kiss her, just stared at her with those dark eyes, and she was held completely in his thrall. "You're Mine." This time there was no sage protective inner voice to stop her from agreeing. (...) "I'm Yours."

I Only Have Eyes for You-- another incredible book from the Sullivan series. The books in this series keep getting better and better and you can't help to find yourself totally enthralled with this family. This is Sophie and Jake's story- and what a story it is. Sophie (nicknamed Nice) finally makes her move on Jake after loving him her entire life. Jake is spellbound by Sophie and can't seem to figure out where this new side of Nice came from. When these two finally come together it's explosive and SEXY. After reading this latest installment I can't wait to see what's up next and in store for Zach Sullivan and even more looking forward to reading the other Sullivan stories especially Smith. If you have not read the other Sullivan books I highly recommend you read them first before reading this. Happy Reading!

This is a beautiful story. I read it in two days....sad that it was over soo soon. The entire Sulivan series were all very good stories. I read them all and cannot wait for the next book to come out! I fell in love with the characters and it kept my attention. Definitely a page turner. If you are looking for an erotic book with a romatic story, this is it! I recommend this series. You will not be disappointed!

I love bella andres writing style. I have all her books and can't pick just one as a favorite. She is a bit heavy on the bedroom scenes for myself, but I still had to read them all. Great books.
