Emma does not want a relationship after what her ex did to her. She is all about the one night stands. That is until Liam, a playboy who has no desire to get married after watching his parent’s relationship. The chemistry between Emma and Liam practically set my kindle on fire. I loved how these two characters developed and had to deal with their own issues if they were ever going to make it work.

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she has a new fan. I love a good spicy story but this author exceeded my expectations. I love reading books from both of the characters’ points of view. It feels like you know the characters on a more personal level. . You can’t help but to fall for both of these characters. They have chemistry that will steam up those pages. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.
Emma just had her heart broken and now she doesn’t want anything serious ever again. She is now just having fun but when she meets the very handsome Liam things start to change. Emma starts to build a friendship with Liam. She is then asked a huge favor that will help Liam. Will Emma find her Prince Charming or will she be kissing frogs for the rest of her life?

After the especially heinous *Dun dun* act committed by an ex, Emma is a modern and confident, take-no-prisoners, confident woman. She isn’t afraid to ask for exactly what she wants by setting boundaries and compromising with others and she wants no strings attached fun…until she meets Liam. They shared so much chemistry and fun together that what started as a one night stand became a few days, and then friends with benefits.
Liam is a playboy who doesn’t believe in love, and isn’t afraid to use his power and charisma to have his fun while avoiding commitment. He enjoys Emma’s company immensely, and when he has to find someone to be his wife for a year in order to receive his inheritance she is the person he comes up with. He freaks himself out by developing feelings for Emma and doesn’t realize she is dealing with the same emotions – and also has herself in a panic over it all.
Emma and Liam are probably the most human main characters I’ve read. They have their selfish and ugly moments, but they have raw and honest chemistry, passionate and hope, and are drawn to one another like magnets. Emma felt like a familiar friend. Absolute page turner. Looking forward to more by this author!

This was a quick and fun read of strangers to friends with benefits that fall for one another.
Emma has had an atrocious act committed against her and is living life one one-night stand after another until Liam…
Liam who is her best friend’s love’s best friend.
A notorious playboy himself.
Their friendship evolves and both must come to terms with life.
This does have a happily ever after and seems to be part of a series as Mia and Dylan have a book out and there is one on the way with two of the other secondary characters.

He didn’t believe in love and never dated someone for longer than a few months. He felt he didn’t have good role models on the love department as his parents marriage was a disaster and not something he aspired to have. That all changed when he met Emma. At first it was about the hooking up but that soon led to him wanting to spend more time with her outside of their bedroom escapades. Emma was all for the no strings attached hook ups and she was quite good at not committing until she meets Liam. She is weary of falling for anyone after an ex did her dirty. Emma had rules and they were strictly followed until Liam. She slowly threw those out the window and found herself head over heels. Things seem to be working out until her ex comes barging back into her life and airs all of her dirty laundry. Will Liam want to stick around or will he run for the hills? Emma and Liam give you all the feels in this book. Their passion jumps off the pages. I enjoyed their story and hope to read more work by this author in the future. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

We went on our annual trek out of town to get some incredibly delicious barbecue and look at the beautiful Texas wildflowers on our drive, however I was so deep into this book that I only looked up when my husband pointed out a beautiful patch of flowers.
Emma and Liam work so well from the beginning even if they are in denial the entire time. The affection is obvious to everyone but one another, but what they do to make the other happy says it all.
There are so many people I didn’t like while reading this, maybe even bordering on hate, but they are too much of the story. Hopefully they won’t be making guest appearances in future books, but I definitely want to see Emma and Liam.
Though this isn’t technically a series, it does have some of the characters cross over Dylan and Mia’s story. Thank you once again for giving me an enjoyable book to soak in.

Before You Say I Do is a steamy contemporary romance…and I loved every part of this story. I am no stranger to this authors books…but this is one of my favorites. Giving me all the feels of romance, angst, drama, sizzle and the push and pull between two people….I highly recommend this book.
Emma is not looking for any commitment nor relationship….with a broken heart past that nearly tore her apart…Emma is working and going to school to become a sommelier…until Liam Cross comes crashing in. Liam is not looking for any commitments as well as he is hardened by how he views his father and mother’s marriage….but what can happen when two people who are just looking for a good time with similar views on relationships and feelings truly start to flourish. When Liam proposes a marriage contract so he can obtain his trust fund, Emma agrees knowing her end of the bargain will get her out of debt and travel to France. As fun times turn into having more feelings that are kept at bay……layers around Emma’s heart start to fall for Liam…..but when it is all said and done will their feelings for each other turn into a happily ever after or heartbreak….

This was my first book by this author, and I am blown away! The author grabs your attention from the very beginning with some steam and a woman who knows what she wants. I loved Emma the entire way through and her chemistry with Liam leaps off the pages. There are plenty of spicy scenes, but the author in no way relies on it to carry the storyline. I appreciate the flow of the story as everything progresses naturally, and the characters feel incredibly well-developed. Emma feels relatable as I feel like we’ve all been burned by an ex-partner who made us build walls and draw bridges to keep others out. Her ex-boyfriend, Stuart, had made some awful decisions and without revealing any spoilers, I definitely yelled out loud at him when some of the twists and turns happened! The author had me ALL the way invested in Liam and Emma and put sleep behind me as I stayed up to read the entire book in one day. I highly recommend picking this up if you’re looking for a steamy romance with a bit of unpredictability! I can’t wait to pick up more books by this author.

This was a really enjoyable romance with plenty of chemistry, drama with an ex and a undeniable connection between our main characters. I was hooked from the beginning. We meet Liam and Emma. Emma has had problems in the past with men so the way she overcomes that is only having one night stands. Never wanting or expecting more. Until she meets Liam. Liam is the same not wanting more from a woman but there is something about Emma that keeps him coming back. As they navigate through the change from one night stands to friends with benefits could there be a possibility for this to become something more meaningful? And when Liam gives Emma an offer she can’t refuse will this bring them closer or push them apart? Add to this drama caused by Emma’s ex and this is a story that will keep you turning pages. Can friends with benefits progress to something more? Or are they both destined to end up heartbroken all over again?

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. After her ex-boyfriend’s behaviour leaves her not wanting another relationship, and being untrusting of men Emma sticks to one-night stands. Then she has a passionate night with the confident, handsome Liam with his seductive smile, and soon it’s another night followed by another night of him satisfying her needs, and before she knows it they are friends with benefits. As Liam manages to break through Emma’s walls she starts to fall hard and even starts dreaming of a HEA. However, Liam has his own commitment issues and does not want a relationship. That doesn’t stop Emma saying yes when Liam makes her an offer she can’t refuse, but then when her ex turns up unexpectedly she feels her life is spiralling out of control. Neither Emma or Liam planned on falling in love but now they are worried they are going to end up with a broken heart, if they are not honest with one another. I love Emma and Liam as they are both likeable and relatable characters who’s chemistry sizzles off the page. I like how their relationship develops throughout the book. I was hooked by the storyline and I felt invested in the main characters, whilst the romance and steamy scenes kept me reading late into the night.

I loved this book! I’ve read books from this author prior to this book and I’m going to say this one is my favorite. Why you might ask? Because the way the author wrote Before You Say I Do gave me the feels. And when books can give me the feels and make me feel like I’m part of the story it says a lot. Now the characters aren’t easy to love because they are stubborn, independent, nonbelievers in love. Yet at the same time jealous, attentive, possessive and protective. Which leaves the reader in a conundrum. But trust me when I say it all works. I feel like I was friends with the lead female character. Emma and Liam are people who don’t want relationships or commitments. However they crave each other physically. This story revolves around the ups and downs that their “friends with benefits” status takes them. Liam wants his trust fund, but he can’t access it until he’s 35 or married whichever comes first. Being he’s started this friendship with Emma he feels she’s the perfect candidate to help him in his task. Two big problems: 1 will his family believe them? 2 They are both falling for the other and are too stubborn to admit it. Sacrificing their potential happiness together by sticking to the script. Of course we know nothing is cut in dry and these stories and the exes don’t make it easy either. Will they stick to the script? How will the exes interference impact what they have? Again it’s a story I loved, that had a lot to offer for fans of this genre. It’s worth it! Happy Reading!

I was not prepared for the steam to start at practically the beginning but I am here for it. This tale of two people who need and want each other but aren’t willing to admit it is well written and fabulous. When I found out what Stuart did, I wanted to reach through my screen and slap him!! What a jerk and other words that I can’t use in book reviews!! 😃
Emma got burned by her ex, Stuart, and now doesn’t trust anyone. So for the last two years she had been happy to tend to her needs one guy, one night at a time. But Emma knew he was different when he walked into the bar. He put in the time and effort to get her to say yes to a date. But, she can’t let herself fall for him.
Liam has not had the best of luck with women. Most are after his money and not him. One chose to be his father’s mistress instead. Yeah, Liam is good with ONS. Until Liam met her. For some reason, it could be that she is his best friend’s wife’s best friend, but there is more and Liam doesn’t understand it. Emma is beautiful and desirable but there is so much more to her. Liam’s first instincts towards Emma are protective and an interest to know more. Liam knows that his history won’t let it be any more than smexyfuntimes.
Yet as Emma and Liam spend time together, they each break down each other’s walls, not knowing that they are falling for each other. When Liam concocts a scheme to gain early access to his trust fund, Emma goes along with it. When secrets from the past and people who won’t let go threaten their future, they make decisions that bring them closer together.
There are many great characters in this book. I hope we get to see the relationship between Zack and Melanie develop!! Jump in now! Read this book.

A spicy romance that will leave you on the seat of your chair. When Emma meets Liam she can’t help but be attracted to him. Emma is trying to forget a horrid relationship one that left her so broken she can’t trust another person again. Liam has his own secrets he wants to keep hidden. In this spicy romance story its great to see how their lives unravel and the secrets they both try to keep hidden. Not for the faint at heart this book is steamy!

Liam and Emma will pull you into their world so fast. I instantly felt a connection to each character. Their relationship is fun to watch grow and become something neither knew they were looking for. Emma is so sassy and her character is fun. Liam is just as fun mixed with his protective nature is the best recipe for the perfect book boyfriend. This one is definitely spicy so have a fan at the ready. It’s well written with characters you connect with and root for easily. Five stars and highly recommended.

Emma is working her way to becoming a Sommelier but with school, work and an Ex- boyfriend she would rather forget she has no time for a relationship. Hook ups are fine but need to leave by the morning as she does not want to get her heart broken again, but when a handsome, dashing man walks into the bar she may have to rethink her whole dating life.
Liam is a player, he gives them a night and then by the end of it they need to leave. His notion on marriage and relationships is that they are not worth the energy as his only reference is his parents marriage which is non-existent, but when he meets Emma she crawls under his skin and he is doing couplie things he would not imagine him doing. So when he offers Emma an agreement can both of them come away with their hearts in tacked, you will have to read to find out.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it was brilliant flowing story. Emma was just the right amount of sass and wanting to be a wine waiter was a refreshing change to the normal career paths people go down. Liam is a confident, powerful man but in his interactions with Emma they are soft and kind, showing at times his vulnerability in his character.
The story is well developed and fast paced and the chemistry between the two characters is brilliant, the slow burn of the relationship makes it more appealing to keep reading to see if in the end their is a happy ending for the two of them. I could have done some serious damage to her ex-boyfriend but it all works out in the end lol.
Can’t wait to read more books from this author in the future.

After her ex leaves her with major trust issues and walls that she doesn’t want anyone to get past, Emma is content with one night stands. When she meets Liam, she is attracted to him…and soon, their one night stand turns into two, which turns into a friends with benefits situation. To get his inheritance, Liam must get married and stay married for a year…so their friends with benefits situation seems ideal to turn into a marriage of convenience. But, as seems to happen, feelings start emerging and the walls she has erected around her heart begins to crumble. Will these two admit the way they are really feeling…or will they part ways in a year, with Emma already seeing a broken heart in her future? Will they even make it a year?
The way these two fight their feelings made me chuckle…and want to knock their heads together! There was great character growth throughout the story and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow along the way. There were some steamy scenes scattered along the way that left no doubt that these two were compatible between the sheets! Overall, a good story that I enjoyed reading!

This book is about Liam Cross being patient and waiting for Emma Price to agree to go out with him. It’s hard because Emma’s best friend is with Liam’s best friend. Emma usually only has one night stands. She can’t trust any man after Stuart broke her trust in the worst of ways. Emma and Liam get along great. Their one night was so explosive that they agreed they can’t just stop at one night. I guess you can say they become friends with benefits. They both enjoy eachothers company and they are totally in sync between the sheets. Emma starts to have real Feelings for Liam and she doesn’t realize it but, he feels the same way. He tries to fight it at every turn. They have an agreement that they will get married, Emma gets paid to stay married to him for 1 year and he gets his trust fund released to him. These two really annoyed me because they are perfect for eachother. Emma knows she will have a broken heart at the end of the year. Wi these two have a chance at a happy ending ? Will Liam ever tell Emma how he really feels or is this really just a contract that will end in a year and these two go their separate ways ? Definitely a great read but everything this author writes is amazing!

This book was a great read. I love that the main characters had issues in their pasts and did what they could to move past them by setting boundaries. Emma will only have one night stands because of her past and when she meets Liam, that is about to change. They both agree to certain rules and boundaries but they quickly find that their hearts are moving faster than they would like. There are some steamy scenes in this book that help elevate the story line. I find that these scenes aren’t throughout the book but in very strategic places and that is what helps elevate the story line. There are some surprised in the book that I didn’t see coming and that made it even better. I love the simplicity of them falling in love. It kept me turning the pages and hating that it ended. There is character development throughout the book that doesn’t smack you in the face. It is at a pace that matches the story line. It isn’t like poof the characters are different then before. There is also struggle with the growth which makes the characters more relatable. With change comes some push back and that is what happens in this book. It is a gentle tug of war within themselves that grows into an amazing story. I highly suggest reading this. Reviewed by: @bbohls

I have never read a book by this author but after reading this book I will look for more books by her. Since I am a Senior I prefer to read books that have some sex but not very explicit sex. However, I did enjoy this book.
I especially liked the characters and the story line. I hope to find a Liam Cross one day but maybe an older version because I think he may be too much for this old gal to handle.
But seriously, I did enjoy reading this book and will look for other books from her.

Before you say I do is a steaming hot contemporary romance by Marina Hanna.
This is the story of Emma who starts the book with a very hot one night stand…So many details and actually ends up being part of the character building as Emma has been badly burnt and is a one night stand kind of girl – you are not allowed to sleep over kind of girl – until she meets Liam. They cannot get enough of each other and become exclusive….. Liam pops the question as a way to get his inheritance and they decide on one year to scratch the itch of that they have for each other. One year is enough right? Guess you need to read the book to find out!!

It’s a good book. I liked the characters in this book. I enjoyed reading their struggle to define what the other means to them. This book has great world building and a good plot.

Multi pov with some chapters having both POVs (Clearly labeled)
Before you say I do by Mariana Hanna is a fast burn. There is spice.
Emma- Bartender. Doesn’t want a relationship, and only has one nightstand due to her ex.
Liam- Lawyer “hottie” who doesn’t want anything serious but also wants only Emma.
The MCs met at a bar and after weeks of trying to get with her, the MMC finally got her information and had a chance. After having “fun” a few times they decided to become FWB- MMC idea- but both right away feel more of a connection than just FWB and don’t speak on it. There are twists in the plot and has a HEA ending even though it seems it might not. I personally didn’t care for the beginning of the book, but it did get better so if you are struggling just give it some time before deciding if you want to continue or not.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and she did not disappoint. It’s a contemporary romance story. Emma is not looking for romance but with Liam it seems to find her, for both of them, unexpectedly. The story goes great and is a great read. It keeps your attention and you won’t want to put it down. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

This was a good 4 star read. I really liked these characters and their story right from the start. Emma has been hurt in the past and has a rule of one night stands only. However when she meets Liam things change. Liam suggests something to her that will change things for both of them. But, will they be able to stick to the rules or will their hearts get in the way. The author did a great job with her writing and I didn’t want to put it down. I had to see what was coming next. There are some twists and turns that added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author, 1-click and get started today.

This book was a great romance book with a few adult scenes but the story line is worth the read. Emma and Liam’s budding relationship continues to draw you in. It’s a perfect picture of people that have been jaded by previous relationships and don’t want to risk the hurt again. It keeps you guessing until the very end.

One Night stands is all Emma will do after being so badly treated by her EX then along comes Liam who agrees to her terms but it soon becomes obvious that they both want more of each other. So when Liam comes up with the idea of them marrying simply so he can receive his trust fund earlier, they both see the benefit in being able to spend more time together, in other words more amazing sex but with an end date to their relationship. Simple right??? Oh so not simple at all! This storyline will keep you turning page after page in your quest to find out what happens next with these wonderful characters. You don’t want to miss this!

This is a contemporary romance that is such a great read with all the feels! This story is about Emma and Liam. Thanks to her ex, Emma only wants one-night stands. That is, until she meets Liam. She only meant it to be one night. One night turned into a lot of nights. Now she is at an impasse. She never meant to fall in love.
