Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3)Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although I believe this story can be read as a stand alone, it’s the third book in the irresistible series. This read shows you that some times people listen to their brain and not their heart. After a life altering event both Brian and Amanda begin to give in to their chemistry and into what they have been avoiding for over six years. The author does a great job making you feel the emotions the characters feel. I’m anxious to read other stories by this author and in this series too.

If mafia romances are your thing, you need to grab not only this book, but the entire series to read.

This is my first read of this series. Each of the books can be read as stand alones and you don’t get lost or think you can’t keep up with the characters. Anne and Phillip will have you cheering their relationship on in not time flat.
The author does use a lot of Scottish language terms that may have you trying to figure out what’s being talked of, but have no fear, she has gifted us with an extremely helpful glossary.
