THE LOOK OF LOVE
Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is--until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love--and protect--her, but will she let him?
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
For thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.
Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only, what no one knows about the twenty-five year old singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her, she vows not to let anyone else get close enough to find out who she really is...or hurt her again. Especially not the gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her want to spill all her secrets.
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.

OUR OPINION:
I love a good boxset basically for it's almost never-ending reading. It's always just a little disappointing when you get done with a book and there is nothing left to read. Except when you get a box set you simply move on to the next book. You don't really have to face reality until the last book in the series. Bella Andres Sullivan Series goes on for many books so by the time you finish this series you can start over! EIGHT brothers and sisters!!! I can only imagine the chaos that could ensue from this many siblings but the love there is amazing. What a group!
THE LOOK OF LOVE
This was a great introduction to the series. Chase and Chloe were really a good match, but trying to get Chloe to see that was something. Would she or wouldn't she bolt? It was fun to watch how Chase integrated her into his life. This story had a lil bit o drama...which I love because it brings in the side element of a little danger. Keeps you on edge a bit. The Look of Love gets 4 stars.
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
Marcus really met his match in Nicola. Responsible head of the family meets seemingly irresponsible popstar. On the surface how could these two ever work? Loved the scene where she commandeers his phone for a safety call. OF ALL PEOPLE TO CALL! This couple will be interesting to get peeks at in the rest of the series, it will be fun to see where they go! Giving From This Moment On 4 Stars
CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
This is my favorite so far. Any time you add in a child it adds to the emotional risk and totally ups the angst factor. Gabe and Megan really shouldn't work...I could see the reasoning behind why Megan didn't want to get pulled into this relationship. But her little girl, Summer, had other ideas. The shenanigans that girl came up with! She truly made this story and I loved watching Gabe and Summer's bond grow through the whole book.
This series was a win for me. Reading time for all three books took just over 7 hours. If you are binge reader you could easily work this book in to a lazy Saturday...and if you are not, breaking it down into smaller reads works just as well! This book got 5 stars from me.
I am giving The Sullivans Box Set Books 1-3 5 stars...because the books Can't Help Falling in Love really pulled at me. I laughed and cried during that book which is always a win for me!
