December 2016 Review:
This was an incredible read. I love the Sullivans series. The writing and the characters are so amazing and I just love reading this series every year. I loved Smith and Valentina's story. This is a unbelievable love story. Smith is starring in a movie with Tatiana Landon. However, he has eyes for her sister, Valentina.
Smith is a member of the San Francisco Sullivans who is a movie star. He is a caring older brother, and very protective. Valentina is her little sister, Tatiana's manager or agent. She sacrificed a lot to help her sister out. They have amazing chemistry. This book proves that the special person in your life may be closer than expected. I can't wait to read Book 8 - Always On My Mind. Overall, an amazing read.

This was another fantastic read by Bella Andre. She knows how to draw her audience in. Smith and Valentina's love story is no different than the other books in the series. It was brilliant and it proves that a big, close-knit family of brothers and sisters can demonstrate their love each other and the loves of their lives.
Smith is a movie star. He is strong, sexy, smart and a great brother. He is in love with Valentina, his co-star, Tatiana's older sister, Valentina. Valentina is her sister Tatiana's manager. She does whatever it takes to make Tatiana feel loved and protected. She is loving, smart, and sexy as well.
This was a beautiful story. It was filled with passion, love and steamy scenes. Smith and Valentina are perfect for each other. I am glad that they found their happily ever after. Can't wait to read Lori and Grayson's love story in book 8 of the Sullivans series, Always on My Mind. Overall, an amazing read.

It was a bit more stretched than the other ones and I honestly skipped through some parts, because of their redundance. And thank God with Valentina we finally have a character who is questioning the pace at which the relationship develops. And...I guess Smith waited a couple of month before proposing. That was nice, too. But I still don't get why you would name a kid Smith...isn't that more of a surname? And two of them...no.

Some books begged to be read with your toes buried in the sand and sun warming your face. Come a Little Bit Closer from Bella Andre made me wish I could book a flight somewhere warm and read the other six books in Andre's The Sullivans series.
The romance between Valentina and Smith is well-written — including love scenes that deliciously toe the line between sweet and steamy — but readers learn so much about Smith when he's interacting with his siblings and his mom. Bella Andre's strength is writing relationships, whether they're romantic or familial, which makes the connectedness of The Sullivans series really work.

First book in the series in which a good chunk of the story was about the two main characters, Smith and Valentina, having sex everywhere, every time. I think they actually had a real conversation almost at the end of the book. Their falling in love didn't feel genuine to me, maybe because other than having and enjoying sex I couldn't find anything else they had in common. Only reason I kept reading was because of the other Sullivans, mostly Sophie's pregnancy and the introduction of the Sullivan cousins. Therein, the two starts.

a really great story of love, and overcoming the odds to find a way to just be together. especially loved the way Andre included snippets of the screenplay for the movie the actors were making, personally i'd love to see that made into a book or movie in real life!

I always love spending time with the Sullivan family. Bella Andre has created a series with endearing characters and original experiences. Smith is a world famous movie star and he may have enjoyed that distinction when he was younger he has now come to appreciate the finer things in life. Including his latest co-star’s older sister, Valentina. Valentina takes Smith at face value and can’t accept that he could possibly be interested in her but Smith will not take no for an answer. I loved the sparks between these two, how the navigated a relationship on a movie set, something I don’t see often. Ms. Andre did a great job capture Valentina’s feelings especially as she and Smith grew closer as filming continued. Great read in a fun series!

Ok, you know how you wait for an author to release a book and it simply doesn't matter what it is called or what it is about because you know you're going to love it? Well, that's a great feeling, but finding out the book has arrived a week early!?!?!? UNBELIEVABLE!
I love that Smith's story was as endearing, and as freaking steamy and sexy, as the rest of the Sullivan siblings. He met his match, and she wasn't playing hard to get, she was hard to get next to...for a while. I enjoyed the whole pursuit and denial for a bit, and Bella Andre knows just when to turn it all around and make you fall in love with them falling in love, finally!
I am getting a little worried that we're running out of Sullivans though. I know we've got some Seattle cousins, but will they hold us over until the generation of Sullivans are old enough to have hot Bella Andre romances!?!? I trust in Bella though...she's got a plan! Can't wait for Lori's story..I mean NAUGHTY, right?!?!?
