More Than Love You (More Than Words Book 3)

Like all Shayla Blacks books I loved this one. This is a great series. I love the Hawaii setting and the characters are so real and the romance is awesome. I listened to this on audio and Christian Fox is one of the best narrators out there.

Such a compelling story with honest and real characters. Harlow and Noah’s story shows all the adversity that one can encounter and the love needed to carry you through. Loved the characters and story so much, I had a hard time putting it down!!

Noah is a quarterback for a great team. One thing has a player. Loves women. When he meets Harlow he is in need of a girlfriend to look good in public. Will Harlow agree to it or will they really fall head over heels in love?

Noah has his work cut out for him. Harlow has been hurt more than anyone can imagine. Noah has a secret of his own. Together they will work to overcome their obstacles and find out if they can truly love one another.

The 3rd installment in this series has made this one of my favorite series. Huge fan of Shayla's. This book was HOT. How can you not love ex football star Noah and a hurt Harlow. The connection between them is scorching from the first interaction. Lots of ups and downs as Noah figures out his speech issues and Harlow hides out from her disaster of a wedding. In the end love and passion wins out.

Shayla Black draws you into the story from the first word on the first page. Sights, sounds, smells and emotions are so vividly described that you are right there with the characters. She skillfully weaves present day, real life events into the fabric of the story.

Harlow Reed like her brothers Maxon and Griff is almost irrevocably damaged from the cold, callous and manipulative upbringing by their parents. She is commitment phobic and doesn't believe at all in love. Noah Weston bowed out of the NFL at the top of his game because his body and his health could no longer take the weekly abuse encountered in a football game. From the instant he sees Harlow he wants her. They have great sexual chemistry and it doesn't take long for him to realize it's more than just sex. Challenges continue to arise throwing stumbling blocks in their path to happiness. Overcoming them seems to be monumental but so worth it for happiness in the end.

I more than LOVED this book! I already loved this series and this is another great book in the More Than Words Series! Again, I love that the whole book is from Noah's point of view. I was not sure how it would work since in the previous two books the Reed brothers were the main points of view so we knew more about the family dynamic. But is was awesome to read this story from Noahs point of view as he tried to figure Harlow out. Noah and Harlow have a beautiful and angsty love story. They both must overcome issues to find their lasting love. This book as all the things! Steamy romance, just enough angst, humor and a couple of awesome twists! I would recommend reading the first two books in the series to really enjoy this book. But this book with have you feeling all the emotions and sad when you turn the last page!

I think this book is my favorite in this series. Who doesn't love a hot alpha dirty-talking QB? Harlow was perfect for Noah, and he was the one person able to love and heal her. Using a tough, biting exterior, Harlow keeps everyone at arm's length, including her brothers. Noah, who sees through her walls, and is determined to break them down for her. I adored Noah, and his huge heart...and that, too! This was a great love story.

I listened to the audiobook version (because Christian Fox!), and it was wonderful. His gift w/voices is amazing, and they all shine brightly. The love scenes were scorching, no surprise from Shayla Black.

As with all the other books in this series, I can't wait for the next--and final book in this series.

This was my favorite book in this series. I don’t know who is my favorite character Harlow or Noah, they are both worth rooting for. Noah is great and is just trying to figure what is going on with after his last concussion, can Harlow help him in to his retirement and his next career. Harlow just wants to hide out and sex, but is that all. These two are great together and the twists and turns. The way that the pregnancy scare with the “gold Digger” is great. Shayla Black has not disappointed with an absolutely wonderful book that I could not put down.

If you thought Maxon and Griff's stories touched you wait to you read Harlow's.

When reading a book I break it down on so many levels. Is it funny, touching, mild to flaming hot. Do the characters fulfill the roles the author set out to present us with? Do I feel the emotions written deep down in my soul or do they just give me that feel good feeling?
Not all authors achieve their goals with flying colors but with Shayla Black there is never a doubt that her books will tie me up in knots or heat my very core. This series is a testament to the talent that just touches a small portion of her talent if you ask me.

Harlow, Maxon and Griff come from one royally screwed up family. Even with that said they are all incredibly smart, talented and have good hearts even though it takes a boulder to pretty much hit them in the face for them to realize their worth.

Harlow is one of the most captivating characters I've read to date. The obstacles she has faced is enough to devastate a lesser soul. Yet, with her smarts and the help of a few friends and support from her brothers, she yet has to realize what she is capable of. In this book we also meet Noah Weston. He is retiring from football with a deep secret of his own. Terrified to admit but overcome with a feeling of home he experiences when he meets Harlow they begin a journey to discover and hopefully healing.

EVERYTHING about this book pulled at me. Through description I felt like I was living their journey along with them. The author is so awesome in enthralling us in her stories that it's impossible to find the strength to stop reading. Highs and lows, strengths and weakness, love and hate are all entwined to form characters who are real and addictive. With each new book I read, I become hopeless in thrall of of this authors writing.

So, in short, I can say I MORE than recommend this book, this series and pretty much anything she has written. Best wishes and happy reading ~

More Than Love You is a fun, scorching-hot romance with a layered, powerful love story. Noah Weston is a recently retired football player with a big personality who meets his match with the feisty, complicated Harlow Reed. Their chemistry is instant, and their relationship begins as a fiery physical one. Noah’s been a playboy for years, so he’s baffled when he finds himself wanting more with her than he’s ever wanted with a woman — a relationship. But Harlow just excited a relationship in an extremely public manner, and she isn’t interested in love. They agree to embark on a fake relationship in order to help both of their reputations in the public eye, but the line between pretend romance and real feelings quickly blurs. Noah realizes he wants forever with Harlow, and he commits himself to winning her with all the fierceness expected of a former professional athlete.

Readers will fall hard for Noah, a brash jock with a tender heart. He’s understanding of Harlow’s emotional struggles, and he’s supportive and patient when she needs him to be. Their love story begins as an explosion of steamy sex, but their relationship evolves with a genuineness that makes it satisfying and perfectly romantic. More Than Love You had me laughing, swooning, tearing up and blushing. In other words, it has all the feels and shouldn’t be missed.

These 3 words come to mind when I read this third book in "The More Than" series.

Noah Weston, first impression you think he is all brawn, sex on the brain 24/7, football player. Noah is now retired with no thought of what he is going to do next. He buys a paradise property in Hawaii to get some R&R to think what his next move is. What he did not count on when he arrived at his house is a hot looking goddess rocking a red bikini. Harlow Reed, someone who makes him weak at the knees and fall hard for at the get go.

They make an agreement. Harlow will help him get camera ready for a position he is pondering on accepting and Noah will pay Harlow, but also give her mind altering sex that Harlow is definitely up for. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Shayla captures the very essence of this couple with her words that wrenched my heart and made me fall in love with this couple. Because of the turmoil Harlow has experienced in her life, she is scared and cautious to commit to Noah by pushing him away when she really wants to be close to him.

Noah wears his heart on his sleeve and does everything to help Harlow believe that he is there for her for whatever she needs to get her through this dark tunnel and into his arms forever. This book is my favourite of the 3 books, I am a romantic at heart and found tears welling up on more than one occasion. This is one story that you need to see to the end, it is so worth the read.

This is my first Shayla read. I am so happy I got this gem. What a great love story! A journey of self discovery, love, family and lots of much needed healing.

Noah & Harlow are charming, sexy and witty. They have an immediate attraction and great chemistry. However what starts out as a casual fling transitions into a rollercoaster ride of emotions and growth. Noah is recently retired and single. Harlow is recently heartbroken and raw. She manages to hide that part of herself and put on a tough façade. Builds very carefully erected walls to protect herself. Can anymore penetrate her armor? Noah seeks more. Feels more. He wants it ALL. But is Harlow willing to give in to her feelings and the possibility of more? Will she risk being vulnerable again?

These characters and their story are brilliantly written. Unfolds absolutely perfect. Fantastic attention to detail. Plenty of plot twists and surprises that kept me guessing. Hot sex kept me aroused. Strong, loyal, alpha hero. An equally strong, giving, intelligent, feisty herione. These are some of my favorite elements in a great romance.

There were a few cheesy lines used in the beginning that made me wondered if this book was for me. Within a few chapters I knew it hadn't taken away from the overall lovely story. So glad I stayed with it. I want to go back and read the first 2 books in the series now.

Harlow's story is finally here, and it's an intense story with some unexpected twists and turns! There is a lot of tension in this story between Harlow and Noah (and not just sexual tension!), as well as within the family. There are lots of appearances by our other favourite characters (Maxon, Griff, Keeley and Britta), and we get to see what's next for those couples as well. I really loved Noah, who remained a grounded and kind person even after years as a star football player. The work Harlow does with Noah to help him is also a great plot point - it was really great to see the focus on how helping Noah's problem could also help others in professional football (I don't want to spoil anything!). Noah and Harlow challenged each other, and it was a difficult journey to get behind Harlow's walls, but that made everything so much more interesting for the reader, since this story is from Noah's perspective. We found out why Harlow was so closed off as Noah did, and a lot of that hit close to home for me, which added to the emotional roller coaster of this story. The plot did move quite quickly, but everything was well written, so that did not really bother me. Ultimately, this was another great story from Shayla! I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is the third in the series this is Harlow and Noah’s story. It was great the chemistry between characters was immediately noticeable. The storyline was amazing and you wanted to know more about Harlow and Noah. Harlow is not looking for love or anything really she only wants a summer fling and Noah will work. Noah is good with that they make arrangements for Harlow to stay with him and she’ll help him and he’ll help her easy but Harlow stays closed off and up towards Noah and soon this doesn’t work for him. He can’t figure her out and she won’t let him. There is something their they both know it and feel it but what will come of it is up to Harlow.

I enjoyed the story and it was great from the start! Another wonderful job done by Shayla Black and I always look forward to the next book from her.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy.

*I was gifted this ARC from the author and freely give my review*

I love this book about a women that’s seriously consider love unrealistic and a man trying to convince her it’s possible to find.

What I liked about this book:
❤️ Good storyline
❤️ Characters described with a lot of emotions
❤️ No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
❤️ Good dialogues (many highlights and quotes)
❤️ Some challenges for the main characters that don’t take a turn to the over dramatic but makes the story more intense.
❤️ Hot, hot, hot love scenes
❤️ A story with a lot of emotions that made me laugh and cry
❤️ Secondary characters that I love to hear more about (Evan) I hope he gets a book.

Wonderful 5 star read I recommend very much.

Noah Weston, you’ve ruined me for reading other football player books. Seriously. I adored your story. Adored your passion for life and love. I just plain adored you.

And Harlow Reed. Damn, woman, you are the <i>perfect</i> match for Noah. Your feisty, smart, tenacious, independent and all around amazing. Your ability to work your way into Noah’s heart, life and bed . . . I bow down.

Seriously, you need to read this book. Go. Get one-clicking. While you’re there one-click all the others in this fantastic <i>More Than Words</i> series. You need to meet Harlow’s ridiculously awesome older brothers and the women in their lives too. I can’t wait for more in this series—Evan’s story is next!!

More Than Love You by Shayla Black is book three in the More Than Words series and revolves around Noah Weston and Harlow Reed.

Noah is retiring from football. The quarterback has quite a reputation is basically hiding out. He thinks he’ll be alone to work things out in his new estate, but Harlow, his house sitter, is there after her very public breakup and is seeking some mind-blowing orgasms without any strings. Both scandalous in their own right and both more than willing to take that extra step, could these two be exactly what the other needs? Emotional and sexy…two things I love in my romances and More Than Love You has them in spades! Any book by Shayla Black is a must-read and this is no different!

More than Love You is the third book in "The More Than" series and by far my favorite!! I love Noah and Harlow. Noah is a former pro football player who just retired and is trying to figure out what to do with his life. He buys a place in Hawaii to figure out his next move. There he meets Harlow. Who is just trying to escape from life. They come up with an mutually beneficial agreement, which definitely does not include a real relationship. But as they spend time together feelings developed. Noah is not you stereotypical jock, he wears his heart on his sleeve and will do anything for Harlow. Horlow has been through a lot and is scared to commit. Will Noah convince her to give Lovea chance?

The world has been waiting for this book and as always Ms. Black hasn't disappointed us. Harlow is full of sass and the biggest heart. Noah is every women's dream for her next book boyfriend and together they make for one hot book. I couldn't put this book down and recommend it to everyone looking for their next five star read. This is book 3 and while I believe they could be read out of order without hindering the stories, I always suggest to be read in order to enhance each book. Great job once again to this already amazing author.

One of the best books I’ve read in months! I love this book and I’m going to go back and read the first two books in this series. I loved the chemistry between Harlow and Noah. The only question was could they make it work? I didn’t care for Harlow’s parents. They left me so angry. Beautiful, heart wrenching story. I highly recommend this series! I received an advanced reader copy for an honest review.
*Magic Beyond The Covers Book Blog*

WOW!!! This is my first book in the More Than Words series and I will be honest and say I didn't know what I had gotten myself into. I wasn't in love with the book at the beginning, but I am so glad I finished! This book was just amazing! I love it! I loved Noah - he is one of the best male POVs that I have read! Harlow was just as amazing - I just wanted to hold her (and shake her in parts).
Another 5 stars from Shayla Black!

Oh what have I got myself reading. I had a blast reading this book. This authors knows how to hook a read in. Every chapters almost made me chew nails from my hand. This author has earn another reader
