More Than Want You (More Than Words Book 1)

Another great start to a new series by the talented Shayla Black.

This time around I found myself seeing a different side of her writing style. This is less erotica, although their are some heated scenes , and more character and story based.

Maxon is a complete yet sexy jerk when we first meet him. Driven by revenge and greed do not make an attractive man yet deep down there is so much more to him. It takes Keeley to bring out what is buried deeply within him.

Keeley is a character than I really connected with. She is strong, determined, intelligent and has her own surprises to bring to the story. The connection between these two is off the scale with levels of heat that will draw you in with an intensity that surprises.

I absolutely loved the storyline! It wasn't all laid out there as you would expect, No, the author made sure she found a way to throw a few curves our way. I honestly can't wait for the next book. This is the beginning of what promises to be a very fulfilling series. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Maxon and Keeley have to be one of my favorite book couples! Their unabashed love story was intoxicating, raw, and gripping. I want more!!

Maxon is the yin to Keeley’s yang, but Maxon is too stubborn to see it. Keeley feels everything. She permeates everyone she meets with her healing energy and warm spirit. Maxon thinks too much and feels nothing, until he meets Keeley. Their instant connection is undeniable and sexy as hell.

Maxon Reed is all business. His play that is limited to one night stands, money making real estate deals, and being better than his brother. He doesn’t feel emotions. Emotions show weakness. At least that’s what he thought until Keeley Sunshine sang to him and looked at him with those baby blues. From then on it was all Maxon could do to keep his breathing in check and his emotions at bay. Keeley is the light Maxon craves. Her touch alone brings him to his knees. He quickly realizes Keeley Sunshine is someone he needs to make all things right in his world; unfortunately it may cost him his everything.

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book

Maxon is this take no prisoners business man who wants the deal of a lifetime. The only thing standing in his way is his brother Griff. So how can he get Griff to back off so that he will be one who
gets the deal...

So when he's eye catches Keeley Sunshine Kent who is the total opposite of him he started making a plan. But maybe he can have a one night stand with her and then use her to distract his brother. What he didn't count on was the amazing chemistry they would share. But he doesn't need this in his life, his life is complete, isn't it??

So will he be able to let her go and carry out his plan or will his own feelings get in the way.

Maxon is a total jerk, but what I loved about this story is how Keeley brings him out of his own comfort zone. She gets him to see that there is more to life than the constant need for success and money and even though he is more about revenge on his brother and the need for success he might just surprise you in the end.

Definitely a good start to a new series.

I was given this book by the publisher and asked for an honest review.

4.5 Stars!

Keeley Sunshine was a quirky, bubbly, vivacious woman enjoying a night showing off her vocal talents on stage in a bar when Maxon Reed, top real estate agent on Maui, laid eyes on her and his interest was quickly caught. Her goal is to be happy; his goal is to remain the top agent on Maui, but there's a multi-million dollar deal on the line and his brother Griff is his top competitor. Luckily, he has an idea to distract Griff with a made over Keeley, but that only works if he can let her go.

I really enjoyed this book! Shayla Black's characters made you love 'em, made you hate 'em, and next thing you know you're rooting for them again. I love how each of them grew and learned and changed as the book progressed. I've always liked characters that have some flaws; perfection is boring and lacks imagination. Black's writing is thought provoking and really makes you care. I can't wait to read the next book!

Shayla Black's newest series starts out with a hard-hitting, emotional story centered on two brothers, Maxon and Griff who have not been on speaking terms for three years after a nasty breakup of their real estate business partnership and the strong, yet sensitive and caring woman, Keeley who changes Maxon's life in a positive and very happy way. Maxon and Keeley travel a long bumpy, twisty, curvy road in this their love story. There are some surprises along the way as well as tears, sad and happy tears.

The storyline in this book is concise and well thought out while a great plus to this story is the parallel of the coordinating songs which pop up along the way. The author's characters are so well written they practically jump right off the page into your room as you read. This story is so full of emotional moments you need a nice soothing and calming cup of tea while you read but then again the love scenes are so hot they call for a tall glass of ice water to be handy too. Grab them both and enjoy this excellent story.

Shayla Black is one of my all time favorite authors. Her books never fail to Bring the heat and plenty of feels.
I really liked this book. The insta- attraction between Keeley and Maxon is so hot you'll feel your temperature rise.
I also loved that this author wasn't afraid to show us Maxon's softer, more vulerable side. He's all alpha male, don't worry, but when it came to Keeley and dealing with his feelings....pure gold.
Keeley is such a strong heroine. I loved her from word one. Any girl who can stand to to toe with a man as strong as Maxon definitely deserves to be heard.
This book is a tangled web of bad family, a screwed up childhood, and the need to make things right.
The twist is nothing short of genius, one that made my eyes go wide with surprise.
And let me say, Maxon's father is so so hate worthy.
More Than Want You is an amazing start to what's going to be a great new series from this author.
Reviewed for FMR BookGrind Blog.

I'm a huge fan of Shayla Black, and this book doesn't disappoint. This is a little different from some of the other books written by Shayla Black, as it's almost completely told by Max's perspective. As usual with Shayla's characters, he has a lot of issues. I love that about her writing style. Max is a ruthless real estate agent, trying to be the very best agent in Hawaii. Unfortunately, he's competing against his brother, who used to be his partner. In order to get the prime listing, he approaches Keeley in a bar to help him in his quest. He wants her to distract his brother, not realizing how much he likes her. This book is about what your willing to sacrifice in order to find true love. If your willing to let you past influence your future. There's a fantastic twist at the end that I never saw coming, and you'll love it as much as I did! Can't wait for the next installment in this series! You rock Shayla!

It took me quite sometime to finish this book. Shayla is not a "new to me" author in the industry but this is the first book I have read of hers. I heard so many good things about the book and wanted to check it out. It was slow moving for me and at first I could not get into Maxon animosity with his brother and then the lust for Sunshine followed by the request. It just didn't sit right with me. About 40% in it started to grasp my attention and they meshed more but essentially I had to male it to that point. The development of both Maxon which was pivotal did come and my likeness for him grew. I did enjoy the shock with Griff though. I can actually say that is what sealed it for me and that was when the story was basically coming to a close. I do hope to hear more of their sister and the truth behind the mystery there..... Overall the book was okay for me.

No one does passion better than Shayla Black. More Than Want You, is fresh and sexy with passionate characters that you just can’t get enough of. The chemistry and banter between Maxon and Keeley is right on point and will have anyone captivated.

Maxon’s only competition is his brother and Max wants to distract Griff and what better way to distract a man, other than a woman. Keeley is sweet, lovable, and the woman Max hires to distract Griff. What Max doesn’t count on is falling for Keeley himself. Oh, man! This book is everything and definitely worth the read. What an amazing start to a new series!

This was hot and intriguing and definitely had me wanting more by the time I finished it. I confess that it took a good long while before I liked Maxon and was an up and down thing even after that. The man was undeniably ambitious, so much so that he was willing to still use the woman he was falling for in order to beat his brother. Keeley, on the other hand, was easy to like. She was quirky, independent, and chose to see the best in people. She helped loosen up the usually buttoned up Maxon, and was a force of nature who happened to be one of my favorite things about the book. Another thing that I would consider a favorite was the twist that I NEVER saw coming. My mouth literally dropped and kudos to Shayla Black because I think it's a great lead-in to the second book in the series, which I'm looking forward to. More Than Want You was one satisfying and sexy read. Four stars. ♥

This was a gift
Real Estate and Hawaii, one of the most beautiful place, the story of 2 brothers that once close are not so close any more.
Maxon Reed a mogul in real estate, a shark and a twit , deals in big properties and mega money. Now he has property that would be the biggest deal in his life, but his brother stands in his way of the deal of a life time and just to make things interesting a very beautiful red head drops into his lap, and she would be the best distraction for his brother Griff.
College senior Keeley Kent accepts my challenge , to become my brothers perfect girlfriend, but somewhere along the line Maxon is the one having a hard time resisting her.
Maxon wants her but also wants the deal, will he loose her, will he make up with his brother, there are other things that will surprise you and make this a wonderful book to read.

4.5 Stars from Renee!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, heat, and sweet love.

This is Keeley and Maxon’s story. Maxon is a real estate mogul. He only deals in big money and high-profile clients. To get the deal of a lifetime before his brother does he needs a distraction for his brother. Kelly will be that distraction. He just has to train her to be the perfect distraction for his brother. But what happens when he starts to want and need the distraction? Can he give her up to his brother or is he about to keep her for himself? What about the property?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Shayla Black, to me, has never written a bad book. Everything that I have read of her's has always been top notch and incredibly enjoyable, and this book is no exception. The book is well written with a storyline that is passionate and sexy. The characters are well developed and well written with Maxon Reed as being driven by work, greed, and an unwavering determination to best his estranged brother. Keeley "Sunshine" Kent, the beauty who couldn't be more different from him and he's caught under her spell.

Their story of trying to find true happiness is not as easy as one would think with past wounds and dreams that are distant and one plan that could solve all of their problems, or just rip them to shreds. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Anytime Shayla Black comes out with a new book or series, I look forward to reading it. With this new release she has hit it out of the ball park! Maxon and Keeley are the perfect yin/yang and what all couples should aspire to be. Keeley is a gentle soul who tries to see the best in everything. She knows the art of forgiveness and letting things go in order to ensure her happiness which she imparts to Maxon. He is her opposite as he is driven to succeed no matter what the cost. However the more time Maxon spends with Keeley, he finds himself reevaluating his priorities. There are surprises as the story progresses and I loved the ending. I am eagerly anticipating the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.
I volunteered to read an arc for a review.

A competitive womanizing real estate agent meets his match in a sassy, unique and free spirited woman. One night of passion together quickly turns on its head when he pitches a rather unconventional plan at her. He soon realises that he can't always have his cake and it eat too, so a lot of soul searching is needed, but will he make the right choice? Read the story for your answer and enjoy the magical Hawaii Shayla has created and the quirky characters she has brought to life. My first Shayla book and I am now going to devour the rest. Well done!

So this book has popped my Shayla Black cherry and I loved it! There were times I wanted to reach through my e-reader and shake the everlovin' hell out of Maxon, but I couldn't picture this story working if he wasn't written the way he is. This story has a Pygmalion feel to it; you know, if you were teaching a young woman how to appeal to your brother in order to secure a deal from said brother, who you are currently estranged from. But Keeley's not the only one learning, because it seems that the more time she spends with Maxon, the more it seems that he might be developing a conscience and even *gasp* realizing that his own feelings towards Keeley are changing.

Rec'd an ARC and this is my review given voluntarily. Maxon was a business man in all aspect of the word. He was determined to prove to the world that he is the #1 realtor in Hawaii by beating his brother Griff to a big time listing. His plan is to introduce Griff to Keeley (a singer from a bar) so she can take is mind off of the deal. Well, guess what happens....can't give spoilers so you will have to read the book to find out and it's not what you think. This book is different from what Mrs. Black usually writes so I was a little surprised BUT she did explain it from the beginning and I understood after reading the story. It is good and I recommend it. Looking forward to the next book.

This book had me turning pages well into the night. I couldn't put it down. Maxon has a crazy plan to get back at his brother Griff. He finds who he thinks will be a perfect fit in Keely. If he can get her to agree to distract his brother, he'll land the deal. It'll put him at the top of his game. But Keely gets under his skin. Can he go through with his crazy plan? Will he keep Keely for himself? Will Keely go through with it after she realizes she has feeling for Max? So many questions. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down

My first book by Shayla Black and I loved it. This is the first book in her new series, More Than Words. It's a contemporary love story about Keeley and Maxon. It's about how a father's lust for business and competition drives 2 brothers apart, Maxon and Griff. I loved Keeley's character, so genuine, she wears everything on her sleeve. She meets Maxon in a bar and they make a connection. But, during Maxon's journey of falling in love with Keeley, he has to make tough decisions. Will he put her first? I loved the suspense and was not prepared for the ending. The characters were well developed and believable. Looking forward to Griff's story

**I received this book by the author for an honest review**
Can I say that I really wanted to shake and beat Maxon AND Keeley throughout this whole book! I mean I have never been so frustrated this much with characters this much! I mean I understood where Keeley was coming from with her good vibes feel... But jeez.. This book even though had frustrated me.. It made me laugh at how cocky Maxon really is and at the banter between the two of them. I loved the flirtatious ways the both had even more so the way Keeley had Maxon how she wanted.. I had a girl crush on her towards the end! 5 Stars~Chris

Shayla Black has captured my heart again!!! She never fails to do so. I absolutely fell head over heels in love with Maxon and Keeley! Just when you think you know how it all ends she throws in a twist! I can't wait for the second book!

I love Shayla Black's books and this new series is a wonderful and sexy start!!! Loved the characters and loved the fact that you can feel all the emotions and feelings in the writing!! I'm looking forward to the next book in this series!

You are going to More than Want to read this book. This new series by Shayla Black, has us all wanting more with the Reed brothers. I love that she is shaking things up and we get to read the story from the hero's POV. If you are a Shayla fan than this new series is a must have for your collection. And if you are new to her books, then grab a comfy chair because like the others, this book does not disappoint.

Shayla black knocked this one out of the park. I was disappointed to find out that she was ending the wicked lovers series, having read the series from the beginning I was pleasantly surprised when reading more than want you. I was lucky enough to get an ARC of more than want you, and I have to say I was hooked from the first sentence. And without giving anything real big away, I would have to say the surprise twist in the end shocked me. I loved this first one and can't wait for the next to come out

Finished reading this book all in one sitting. I love all of Shayla's books. Her characters leap off the page and into your life. Love cocky alphas and the women who tame them then you will love this story.

This book.... wow I loved it! First this book is written from the male POV and it is awesome! So often we read from the heroines POV for most of the book and we can relate to her emotions and motives. But this book is awesome because even though it is written from the heroes POV you can understand all of his motivations and reasons. Now don't get me wrong I wanted to hit Maxon over the head several times in this book but it was awesome to read what he was really thinking verses his actions. Keeley could have just been a manic pixie dream girl but she has all the fun and quirky qualities but with depth and charm. I loved the chemistry between Maxon and Keeley and it was a joy to read their romance. I don't want to give any of the plot away so I will say that this book made me laugh, shake my fist with anger, sigh with romance and kept me turning the page. My only complaint is that it ended!

Maxon doesn't want anything more then win over his brother Griffen. They both wants to list a property and they both want to win. When Maxon meets Keeley at a bar and propose a deal to her where she distracts his brother so Maxon can win she's not up for it at first. She comes around but it doesn't turn out at all as he imagined.

Two so different people shouldn't fit so well together but their perfect in their imperfection.

Keeley is one strong free spirited women and I love her, Maxon is more of a total moron but maybe he can change with the help of Keeley?

This is a story about how your parents can form your view of yourself and how you can break free and see yourself as the person you want to be.

It's a easy to read and packed with emotions story, I cried and laughed and felt the characters emotions in my heart and soul.

A little to much descriptions of surroundings at a particular point in the story but otherwise it was great. Lots of dialogues which I always love.

5 stars ✨

More Than Want You is a true romance novel. It has a first-rate hero, Maxon Reed who is stubborn, sexy, man with commitment phobia and a dark family history. That’s all I need to know he will be a fantastic book boyfriend. It isn’t a surprise that Shayla makes me feel the emotions of the characters. Maxon’s anger with his brother. His hurt at the hands of his father. His love for Keeley. It all bubbles out of the story into my heart. Keeley’s disappointment hurts too.

Keeley Kent is a gem. Keeley reminds me of a New Ager. Her yoga and meditation allow her to enjoy life without needing the expensive things to do it. I love the way she helps Maxon to look at life differently. He has everything money can buy, but he doesn’t appreciate his surroundings. He doesn’t enjoy the view from his window or walks on the beach or music.

Music is an integral part of Keeley’s life and the story. Every time a song is mentioned I jumped to YouTube to listen to the version in the book. Shayla does an excellent job of using music to match the mood of the scene. I highlighted every song to create a Shayla playlist.

I can’t wait to find out more about the ancillary characters. Griffin (Griff) Reed, Britta Stone, Harlow Reed, and the senior Reeds. They all must have backstories that need to get down on paper. My only complaint, something I hope happens at some point in the series, is needing to see Rob fired. I believe Max should boot him. Max needs to put him in his place stronger than he did in my opinion. Max’s father, Barclay Reed is the character you will love to hate. He is the absolute worst father ever. I mentally punched him where it hurts for Max.

Shayla Black tells a very plausible story of the rich and powerful with More Than Want You. Max's point of view reveals the story except for one chapter in Keeley's pov. There is so much jealousy that the brothers are set up to bicker and lose sight of their love for each other. The character development with a little fall back to old behavior is authentic. I love the twist at the end and the setup for book 2 of the More Than Words series, More Than Need You. More Than Want You is a must-read romance novel that is pure joy.

I loved this book from beginning to the middle to the end. I was charmed by Keeley Kent from the get go. Her positive outlook and determination to be happy made a very interesting. Maxon Reed's journey of discovering love was intriguing. So reluctant to feel anything but negative emotions, the realization that he loved Keeley was an eye opener for him.

Shayla Black is a favorite author. Her characters are believable, easy to identify with and most of all likeable. She captures your imagination with well thought and expertly crafted stories. Each book is pure reading pleasure.

This is the first book I have read from Shayla Black. I am hooked....I am always a sucker for a bad boy with possibilities to change....and Maxon is really bad. He goes on an emotional journey he is not accustomed to when he falls hard for Keeley. She is not the usual fare he normally goes for. She challenges him on all levels. I found myself totally engrossed in these characters, laughing and crying with both of them. It had twists and turns that were unexpected. But Shayla managed to get these two to their final destination in life. I highly recommend this and I am excited to read the 2nd book in the Series, More Than Need You, which focuses on Maxon's brother....

I was first introduced to Shayla Black books when reading Misadventures of a Back up Bride. After finishing this book I have to say I want to read more! I loved the book so much and wasn’t expecting the plot twist. ????

I'm admitting this up front in this review, this is my first ever book by Shayla Black and what a way to start a new relationship with this amazing author. This book grabbed me from the synopsis and I knew I should make this book that I pop my proverbial author cherry with.

What an amazing story! Maxon is the kind of guy I hate to love. He's a guy that goes after what he wants and doesn't care who he runs over in the process whether it's his own family or a beautiful and sweet girl...no matter the consequences he's going to win. And in the case of More Than You Want, he's doing both...or does he?

Maxon is a high profile real estate mogul and there's a piece of property he wants, but his brother Griff is in the way. Enter Keely Kent who's a beautiful woman and who Maxon decides to "work" with to get her to distract Griff so he can move in for the kill on getting this land. I at first was like why would she do this? Why work with Maxon to do this when it's evident the chemistry between these two was shooting off the pages?

Well, leave it to this amazing author to give us the story that had me so involved I hardly looked up from my kindle the entire time I was reading this book. The characters are so well thought out and the storyline was amazing, there's a banter between these two that had me laughing one minute then sighing with the love that was growing between them.

What started as a way for Maxon to enhance his professional life/portfolio ended up bringing so much love and happiness to his personal life with this woman that knocks him off his feet with her beauty, grace and overwhelming love she has for him. Oh and there's some secrets that are revealed that I did NOT see coming.

In the end, I think this was the perfect book for me to be introduced to Ms. Black's writing and not only can I not wait for book two in this series, I'm now going to start reading all her previous books so I can be fully on the Shayla Black is awesome bandwagon!!!

More than want you by Shayla Black is the first in the More Than Words series. This authors writing is simply beautiful, she uses words to paint the most amazing picture, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, and now I feel that I've been. I will be honest the book started off a little slow, but once I hit the 65% mark I couldn't put it down.

Okay, so this book was told mainly from Maxon's (the male lead) POV, and I for one found this really refreshing. Maxon at first comes across as an a$@hole and I wanted to hate him, but I couldn't, something about his character drew me in and I was 100% routing for him. Keely, the female lead had her heart in the right place, but her double standards over deceit was just a tad annoying.  This book had many twists and turns, most of them coming out of left field, and when you read them you'll be shouting at the author asking why she left you waiting so long!!! 

Once I hit the 65-70% mark the feels really started to come out, my heart really hurt for Maxon and even a little for Griff (I'll tell you about him soon). 

The book had many supporting characters, such as Griff, Maxon's a$@hole of a brother and Britta his assistant, both of whom I need to know more about, theirs is a story that I imagine will really bring out the emotions. 

Overall this was a slow starter but definitely worth reading. 

Darn, Shayla Black, you sure to know how to write an a$$#ole alpha male! Maxon Reed is exactly that! BUT, he also does have a soft center, when you get right down to it. He’s got a soft spot for his family—even though they’ve f@cked him over and sideways on many occasions. He’s got an amazing connection with his staff, and he really does want to do right by himself, them and his business. Too bad his method is just a bit off center. And by that I mean the plan to use a beautiful woman to distract his brother from the deal of the century. Maxon will do just about anything to stay on top of the food chain. Even to his own detriment.

Keeley Kent is a beautiful, smart, sexy woman who’s been caught in Maxon’s sights. She’s a struggling college senior who accepts Maxon’s challenge to help distract his brother, Griff. But will this crazy plan Maxon is hatching really work, or will it blow up in his face when he finally realizes Keeley isn’t Griff’s ideal woman, she’s Maxon’s.

Honesty time here. I struggled connecting with Maxon. It took most of More Than Want You for me to truly like him… His singular focus, hard-nosed personality put me off, but he managed to redeem himself in the end! I loved Keeley. Loved her optimism and drive to have everyone get along. I loved how she brought out a softer side of Maxon—Keeley’s interactions with him are what finally brought me around. I absolutely didn’t see the ending coming! That’s saying something, for sure! And I’m really looking forward to Griff and Britta’s story in More Than Need You.

Hands down to Shayla Black as she brings another alpha male down to his knees! I honestly did not think that Maxon would crack, but it happened!!!!! That is why I love reading Shayla's books and am so excited for the More Than Words series to begin <3 More Than Want You is hot, sexy, and gives you an emotional ride all the way through. I was a little anxious when Maxon was introduced to us. Let's admit it and keep it real, he was a high class prick. An a*hole of all a*hole. Then what happens next? I fall for the a*hole. Seriously this book was great.

Who did not love Keeley in this story. Maxon had a plan for Keeley and it went all down the drain as they spent more time together. As the story progressed, so did the characters. When Maxon and Keeley finally gave into their desire for each other, the dynamite exploded with their chemistry. The sexy scenes were scorching hot. I loved the way Maxon started to change and show us he was a human who has feelings after all. Keeley is free spirited and wants to enjoy life. How she got caught up with her complete opposite is just fate.

You need to buy this book and have a weekend cleared to read it. Shayla Black is an amazing author!

Another great start to a new series by the talented Shayla Black.

This time around I found myself seeing a different side of her writing style. This is less erotica, although their are some heated scenes , and more character and story based.

Maxon is a complete yet sexy jerk when we first meet him. Driven by revenge and greed do not make an attractive man yet deep down there is so much more to him. It takes Keeley to bring out what is buried deeply within him.

Keeley is a character than I really connected with. She is strong, determined, intelligent and has her own surprises to bring to the story. The connection between these two is off the scale with levels of heat that will draw you in with an intensity that surprises.

I absolutely loved the storyline! It wasn't all laid out there as you would expect, No, the author made sure she found a way to throw a few curves our way. I honestly can't wait for the next book. This is the beginning of what promises to be a very fulfilling series. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

No one does passion better than Shayla Black. More Than Want You, is fresh and sexy with passionate characters that you just can’t get enough of. The chemistry and banter between Maxon and Keeley is right on point and will have anyone captivated.

Maxon’s only competition is his brother and Max wants to distract Griff and what better way to distract a man, other than a woman. Keeley is sweet, lovable, and the woman Max hires to distract Griff. What Max doesn’t count on is falling for Keeley himself. Oh, man! This book is everything and definitely worth the read. What an amazing start to a new series!

Shayla Black, to me, has never written a bad book. Everything that I have read of her's has always been top notch and incredibly enjoyable, and this book is no exception. The book is well written with a storyline that is passionate and sexy. The characters are well developed and well written with Maxon Reed as being driven by work, greed, and an unwavering determination to best his estranged brother. Keeley "Sunshine" Kent, the beauty who couldn't be more different from him and he's caught under her spell.

Their story of trying to find true happiness is not as easy as one would think with past wounds and dreams that are distant and one plan that could solve all of their problems, or just rip them to shreds. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Anytime Shayla Black comes out with a new book or series, I look forward to reading it. With this new release she has hit it out of the ball park! Maxon and Keeley are the perfect yin/yang and what all couples should aspire to be. Keeley is a gentle soul who tries to see the best in everything. She knows the art of forgiveness and letting things go in order to ensure her happiness which she imparts to Maxon. He is her opposite as he is driven to succeed no matter what the cost. However the more time Maxon spends with Keeley, he finds himself reevaluating his priorities. There are surprises as the story progresses and I loved the ending. I am eagerly anticipating the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.
I volunteered to read an arc for a review.

Absolutely loved this book by Shayla Black!! Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down!! Maxon and Keeley had a roller coaster ride for sure and you had to see how it would play out between the two of them. Maxon is the man who is driven to achieve anything and his work and beating his brother Griff takes presidence. Keeley is the total opposite she has a big heart and only wants one thing to be happy that's it nothing more. She's not sure that Maxon will ever understand that concept or if she's holding out for a miracle that may never come. Great book can't wait to continue the series.

Maxon Reed a mogul in real estate deals in big properties and tons of money. He is in the position to make the deal of a lifetime, but his brother stand in his way. Maxon decides a girlfriend would be the perfect distraction for his brother so he can close the deal.
College senior Keeley agrees to become Maxon's brothers perfect girlfriend and keep him disgraced, but somewhere along the line Maxon is the one having a hard time resisting her. Will Maxon risk it all to be with keeley, or will this deal be more important.

This was my first Shayla Black book. I absolutely loved it. The main characters couldn't be more different but perfect for each other.

Max on is a ruthless real estate mogul whose biggest competition is his brother. He devises a plan to.distract his brother with his biggest vice, a hot woman. He has a passionate night with Keeley and then pays her to distract his brother. He never banked on falling for her himself.

This was such a great book. I can't wait for book 2. I highly recommend this.

New series by none other than Shayla Black??? Um...yes please!!! I devoured this read like all other books written by Shayla Black and she does not disappoint! I absolutely loved Maxon & Keeley's story!!! The heat, the chemistry the story!!! Trust me when I say you totally have to dive into this baby! And I definitely cannot wait to see what happens in the next book that follows!!!

Once I was able to remind myself that this is different than her Wicked Lovers series, I was able to get more into and fell in love with the characters! Maxon absolutely captured my heart and Keeley was such a strong character, I loved the give and take, the pull between the characters. I am hooked and CAN'T WAIT for More Than Need You.

Shayla Black has done it again! I fell in love with these characters from the very beginning and can't wait for the next one in this new series to come out. This was a very enjoyable read and it kept me up late into the night reading because I just couldn't put it down and needed to see how it ended!!!
