“Sexy, heartfelt--did I mention sexy? With the perfect touch of the forbidden, Melanie Harlow has outdone herself with single dad Mack and Frannie’s story!”

-- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Irresistible, an all-new fun and swoony standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar. Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her? (Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking.) Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away. She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me. She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined. I’m a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start. But I didn’t. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves. Even if it means giving her up.

Review by Flavia:

I really enjoyed this book. I have to say again, I absolutely love single parent books. And I love this author, so this was a perfect read for me.
Frannie is like the sweetest person ever and all she wanted is to live her life like a normal grown up. She was born with a heart defect so as a child she had lots of surgeries and her parents were a bit over protective of her. That caused her to feeling very alienated from her sisters as she thought they resented her for taking all the attention away from them. Now she all she wants is to be normal, do normal things and not have her parents protecting her all the time. She is the receptionist at their farm and a part time nanny for their CFO. A man she is also secretly in love with . But also someone that she never thought she stood a chance with. Because she is so young she doesn't think he looks at her as more than a kid sister.
Mac is a thirty seven year old divorced father of three girls. And I have to say I loved these three girls, they really kept their dad on his toes. And all he wanted was to just have one night to himself, one night where he wasn't a dad and could sleep in late and not worry about feeding kids, dressing kids, doing hair, etc... And maybe indulge a bit more on his fantasies of Frannie Sawyer. He can't believe that he is fantasising about her, she is so much younger than him and she is his kids nanny. And that is disastrous enough. But when a snowstorm keeps Frannie from going home one night, one thing leads to another and before he knows it he has added another person to his life. Another person that he doesn't have time for, but also a person that he cannot see his life without.
This was such a sweet, funny, steamy romantic story. That I didn't want it to end. I loved everything about it. I loved how Mac took care of his kids and put their needs before his. I loved that Frannie just wanted to take care of him and his kids but she also wanted to find her own happiness. And those three little girls, they are just the cutest ever. This was a good start to a new series, definitely a book I will recommend to everyone.

Review by Gina:

Mack, Mack, Mack

I've never wanted to smack a character upside the head more than Mack. It was one of those things where everyone could see it but him. But he eventually found his way! I thoroughly enjoyed how the author wrote this part of the story. I could feel the emotion while I was reading. This book is simply full of love. It reminded me so much of everyday life. I feel like this is a story everyone can relate to one way or another. I just loved the characters. They were so easy to fall in love with. They were all funny, sweet, and compassionate and they all worked so well with the story. I just loved it all!

Excerpt:

I was holding my breath. I wasn’t even sure why, but it was something about the way Mack was looking at me. And the tension in his body—the taut muscles in his neck. The grip of his fingers on the edge of the counter. The set of his jaw. It gave the impression of restraint. Like he was holding himself back. Something unfamiliar hummed in the air between us. I could feel it—he wanted me the way I wanted him. No wonder I couldn’t breathe. Then he cleared his throat and turned away from me, cutting off the current. “Sure. Everybody needs to make mistakes now and then.” I’d forgotten I’d even asked the question. He turned the sink on, rinsed his dishes, and placed them in the dishwasher. I stood there staring at his muscular back, at the width of his shoulders, at the snug fit of his jeans on his butt. If I were his and he were mine, I’d go over and wrap my arms around his waist, press my cheek to his back. Then he’d turn around, winding his arms around me. He’d lower his lips to mine, and— “I should get you home,” he said, interrupting my fantasy. “Want to grab your coat?” “Sure.” But I didn’t really want to leave. I wanted to stay in this warm, chaotic house with him and the girls. Pretend I belonged here. Pretend I belonged to him.

About Melanie

Melanie Harlow likes her martinis dry, her heels high, and her history with the naughty bits left in. When she's not writing or reading, she gets her kicks from TV series like VEEP, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and Homeland. She occasionally runs three miles, but only so she can have more gin and steak. Melanie is the author of the AFTER WE FALL series, the HAPPY CRAZY LOVE series, the FRENCHED series, and the sexy historical SPEAK EASY duet, set in the 1920s. She lifts her glass to romance readers and writers from her home near Detroit, MI, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and pet rabbit. Harlow Headshot Color.jpg
