“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.

Wanna know what I think about this book? Read my review:
This book was so, so beautiful! This author always delivers wonderful stories, but I think this time she outdid herself.
Mack is an amazing character, with problems any person could feel related to. He isn't perfect by any means. He swears a lot, and hasn't discovered the secret to a perfect bun, but he is kind and sweet to his daughters, and struggle to make their lives as perfect as possible. I loved him!
I also loved Frannie. She's energetic, and sweet and lovable. She's been in love with Mack forever, harboring those feelings secretly, wishing one day he notices her. But she also wish to be more independent, and to be seen as an adult for the first time in her life. An adult capable of accomplish things. Maybe capable of failing, of course. But also to learn from her mistakes and grow up.
Mack and Frannie story was sweet and romantic, funny and perfect. Yes, perfect. Even in those moments where they were stubborn. Even when they were suffering. Every part of them, every flaw and every virtue, made them perfect for each other. Every step of the journey made the ending more epic. And every chapter of this book, made this story irresistible and unforgettable.
One of my favorite parts of this novel was the way the author connected some of her previous stories to this one. I loved that. And can't wait to read the next installment in this new series.
Now I share with you a little 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.
