This novella is packed with love, drama, deceit, and suspense. Cade and Lecia Moore are in Greece to enjoy each other in the down time between Cade’s concerts. As a world renowned saxophone player, Cade was invited to come play multiple shows around Greece leading up to the Olympics. Will their vacation be an idyllic getaway or nightmare?
For such a short novel, it’s packed with a lot of details. I found that I didn’t miss anything from not having read the other books in the series. It was a page turner and I was quickly able to finish it. None of the story felt like it was missing, which is sometimes hard to accomplish in novellas.

Made to Love Her by Michele Sims is my first read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised. The story was a very quick read, but no less an adventure carved out of romance and suspense. Leica and Cade are a dream couple. Married with children and growing evermore in love as time goes on. But when they find themselves in the middle of a dark scheme, trust and loyalty are put to the test. The characters were very well developed and it was easy to fall in love with the relationship between the main characters. If you are looking for a quick read that will squeeze your heart and also keep you on edge, I highly recommend. I read this with no problem as a standalone!

This is a interesting read from the Moore family Saga series. This book can be read as a standalone, however I feel you will have a better grasp on the characters if the books are read in order. This is a quick read but it is filled with plenty of action, suspense, danger, and of course romance. For me personally I felt it was a little short and too much was crammed in which meant I found the book a little confusing as it jumped from one situation to the next without much context.
That been said it was still an enjoyable read. I just wish it was longer. The relationship between Cade and Lecia Moore is beautiful and their love for each other really stands out.
When they find themselves placed in a dangerous situation they don’t know who they can trust. Who is trying to harm them and why? And will they succeed in destroying this perfect couple?

This book is a brilliant novella, forming a great addition of a series I have enjoyed from the first book. Although a short story, this book really did have everything you would expect from a full length novel. It was great to get a glimpse into these characters and their lives, and even better that it had the gorgeous setting of Greece.
I have read a few books by this author now and I have enjoyed each one I have picked up. Her writing style is one that I find draws you in with ease and I become invested in both story and characters. this was a great book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

This was the first book I had read by this author, and even though it was a short read, it was still wonderful! I didn’t realize it was connected to a series, but I think it did perfectly fine as a standalone. I definitely want to pick up the rest of the Moore Family Saga now that I’ve gotten a taste of it. This book was the perfect balance between romance and suspense which made it so captivating. Cade and Lecia are very well-developed characters, and their chemistry is off the charts! It also made me want to travel to the Greek Isles as the author used beautifully descriptive imagery. The twists and turns this threw at me made me wonder how the author fit everything into such a small number of pages. If you are looking for a story to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat then you should pick this quick romantic suspense up right now!

This is a pretty short read (about 60 pages) so the story moves pretty quickly. Cade and Lecia are going to Greece where Cade is playing several concerts with his band during the Millennial Olympic Games. It’s been awhile since Cade and Lecia have been away by themselves having small children at home. Pretty quickly, drama starts to ensue in an elevator (I hope I never experience what they did!) and things escalate from there.
This book kept my attention throughout and I read it in just under an hour. I have not read any of this author’s previous work and I felt a little disjointed at times, like I should already know these characters. An enjoyable book overall with a suspenseful storyline!

Made to Love Her is a novella in the Moore Family Saga. I read it as a standalone as I enjoy anything with a saxophone in it, and found I could pretty much follow the story without needing to have read the rest of the series.
For a shorter story, there is plenty going on! Cade is busy with his band, trying to have a good time with Lecia and deciding whether to extend his tour. His brother, Vincent, is caught up in something that’s clearly more personal than he’s willing to let on. It’s threatening to ruin Cade and Lecia’s romantic getaway and put them in serious danger.
This is a fun short romance with plenty of action and intrigue in the story. Having enjoyed it, I’m interested in reading more of the series! It gets four stars from me.

Made to Love Her is a novella within the Moore Family Saga. This book focuses on the older Moore couple- Cade and Lecia (Miles’ parents). They are referred to as Kaiden and Alicia in other books, and that took me longer than it should have to connect the dots. This book was really quick and the chapters are short. It takes place in the middle of the timeline, when Miles is 10, and his dad is still a touring musician. Both Cade and Lecia have a intense love for each other, and will do anything for the other. While I didn’t mind the story, it didn’t seem to really have a point, or develop enough for me to care. It seemed like the mystery and events were more a story for Cade’s brother. This book didn’t add much to the series or backstory for the characters.

I have read a couple of books from this author and she always surprises me. This book is a short romance with a little thriller mixed in. This is part of the very addictive Moore Family saga. You are going to love these characters right from the start. I read this novella straight through. It only took me about an hour. This story kept me on the edge of my seat until the end and I can’t wait to read more about this family.

Don’t let the page count of this book fool you…there is a lot of love, drama, deceit, suspense, and twists and turns packed into this novella.
When Cade, a jazz musician, joins his band in Greece to perform some concerts at the Millennial Olympic games, he is joined by his wife, Lecia. The two are looking forward to a “work” trip (with a built in vacation) in an amazing place…but what happens when things are not as they seem. Through a series of crazy events, the two find themselves caught in a game of lies and deceit that will test their loyalties. The two find themselves not only being able to discern the truth from the lies…but also testing their love to see if it is strong enough to survive such a cruel game of cat and mouse.
This was a quick read and I found myself on the edge of my seat the entire time! I have enjoyed this series, so it was fun to see other characters make an appearance. When you start this book…buckle up…because it’s going to be quite the ride!!

Having read and enjoyed the ‘Moore Family Saga’ series I was excited to read this romantic suspense novella. The storyline focuses on Cade Moore, a famous jazz saxophonist and his wife Lecia. The couple are in Greece as Cade and his band are back together and performing a series of concerts during the Millennial Olympic Games. However, their dream vacation quickly turns into a nightmare of international intrigue following a shocking revelation. Cade and Lecia find themselves in a world where loyalties are tested, trust is rare and the sins of the past haunt them. As the couple try to work out the lies from the truth, they will find out if their love is strong enough to survive. Although this is a short read it is action packed. I was hooked throughout by the relatable characters, stunning settings and gripping plot twists.

Cade and Lecia are everything you could want in a couple. Their romance has not died after 3 kids and their love for each other is beautiful. The danger and drama thrown in made this book even better. I was so terrified in the beginning, the way the author writes about the elevator scene is phenomenal, it was so realistic and had me scared for them both. Cade and Lecia are both so strong, in dealing with whoever is out to kill, watching how they reacted and handled everything just drew me to them. I did not read an other books in this series, yet, but this book can be read as a stand alone. I have become obsessed with Cade and Lecia and look forward to their next story.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a huge fan of thrillers and books that keep you on edge. I personally like Tessa and James together and the way he cared for her and the way he wanted to protect her even if it meant he might or might not lose her. He is the protective PI who cares deeply and tries to fight the connection while she is the goodhearted baker who trusts a little too much I feel like and sees the good in everyone. I am not usually a fan of crime mysteries but I did enjoy the story line and the plot even if I got frustrated at the “bad guy”. This book was easy to follow and as much as I usually enjoy a thriller to get right into it, I did enjoy the slow burn of it. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a little romance with a little thrill and mystery.

Made to Love Her was a short read, but let me tell you, Michele Sims packed every page full of suspense and thrills! I could not put the book down from the very first page, it starts right out with what seems to be a normal day for a happy couple, but boy were they wrong. This makes me fear elevators more than ever, oh my goodness it was scary hearing their tale. I have not read any of the Moore Family Saga books, but after reading this suspense novella, I want more of Cade and Lecia’s story! I am a huge fan after reading this book, the situations are so real and thrilling to read. If you want a book that will have you on the edge of your seat, with a little bit of spicy romance between husband and wife, then this is a great book to delve into. Happy reading everyone, until next time!

It’s been a while since I have read a book in this intriguing series. Michele once again weaves a wonderful suspenseful tale in the Moore Family Saga series. This series has been centred around the Moore Family and the trials and tribulations they have endured. I suggest reading the other books before this one, so you have a full understanding of all the characters involved and their back stories. Michele’s writing flows nicely and there are twists that grip you through out. She really puts the characters through their paces in this one.
Made to Love Her is a story that takes us on a dark and intriguing journey of a musical star and his love to beautiful Greece, but it explores the dark underbelly of the place. Right from the start we are thrown into the fray, the action, the suspense.
Cade and Lecia decide that a romantic setting is just what they need but turns out to be anything but. Nightmares do come true. Their happiness is shadowed by lies, deceit, betrayal, secrets, danger, murder, suspicions, obstacles, and forces are lurking about that wish to tear them apart. But it is not all doom and gloom there is humour woven through out as well.
One click and you can read it too. You will not be disappointed!

Made to Love Her: A Romantic Suspense Novella is a great addition to the Moore Family Saga series by Michele Sims. Having enjoyed the other books in the series I was happy to dive right into this book and discover what lay between the covers.
Even though you could read this as a standalone, I really recommend reading the previous instalments before starting on this one as they contain details that will help you fully appreciate the characters and other factors, as well as the series as a whole.
This is an intriguing romantic suspense with danger, emotion, betrayal, secrets/lies/deception, tension, dramatic developments, twists, action, adventure, and more.
Cade and Lecia Moore are caught up in a dangerous situation where nothing is quite what it seems. The danger mounts as they struggle to decide who to trust.
Set in the 2000’s, this story may be short on pages, but still packs a wallop.

Be My Little Baby (London Detective Agency Book 2)
This only thing I was disappointed in was the fact I had not read the first book in the series. It’s not necessary to read it, but I’m one of those who hate reading series out of order. I will end up going back, reading the first and re-reading this second book.
James and Tessa have quite the interesting relationship. She starts as a client with a stalker and then it ends up so much more. Throw in some longtime friends on both sides and it ends up being entertaining.
I love trying to figure out who the villain of the story is since most have at least one. I went between two most of the way through, then it clicked with me just before we found out. Love that it kept my brain working and it wasn’t as obvious to me, but I’m sure others will figure it out sooner.

Well, book 2 in the London Detective Agency series did not disappoint. I enjoyed book 1 and book 2 was also so good! The dynamics between Tessa and James were sizzling and I actually loved the more relatable storyline when compared to book 1. Having Evie and Patrick in the sequel connected the stories and was a great continuation from book 1. Lots of fun characters to follow and learn about, but Tessa and James were wonderful and I loved how they dealt with each obstacle as it came along. I will be recommending this series to other book fans for sure. Warning, you will be craving pumpkin bars by the end of the book!

This is the second book in the London Detective Series. After enjoying the first book I didn’t hesitate in picking this book up and I wasn’t disappointed. This is a romance suspense filled with drama, intrigue, danger, and investigation.
In this story we meet Tessa. She goes to the London Detective Agency for help when she starts to recieve letters and photographs. Knowing she has a potential stalker on her hands she enlists the aid of PI James Moore to get to the bottom of this. As they start to solve this case the chemistry between them also heats up.
However James has made it a rule of his that he doesnt date clients so what will that mean for the attraction between James and Tessa.
And as they get closer together what will happen to Tessa’s stalker. The stalker is determined to have Tessa all to themselves so how will they react as the spark between Tessa and James grows. Will this lead them both into a dangerous situation with targets on their backs, or will they be able to stop the stalker in their tracks before they go too far.
Gripping Read! This is a great suspense with a taste of romance. I really enjoyed this read, it has a range of drama that will have you wanting to more. Great characters and an interesting storyline. Recommend for all readers.

I am so happy she wrote this. Loved Tessa & James’s story so much and also loved seeing how Patrick and Evelyn’s story had evolved.
This story was so great!! Kept me reading until it was done.
Character development was fantastic (in both couples).
It kept me on my toes guessing who Tessa’s stalker was and the way it was all connected was very interesting and well written!
Highly recommend this duet to any reader!

Tessa and James’ story had me hooked pretty quickly! This is book 2 in the London Detective Agency series and I cannot wait to get to know more characters better and dive into book 3!
Tessa has opened a new bakery and is expecting the norm as far as budgeting, hard work, and building a customer base. What she didn’t expect was for business to be so booming she got a stalker out of the deal. This leads her to James, a VERY hot private investigator. He’s so hot he has to continually remind his clients (and now himself, thanks to the appearance of Tessa) that he DOES NOT DATE CLIENTS.
Historically, James stays busy but relaxed helping his clients solve their cases, but although his schedule is booked he cannot resist the pull Tessa has on him. Tessa has no need for such a rule to not date clients, but even if she did…the chemistry between the two of them keeps you reading.
Very well written, great story telling, wonderful character building, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat between the case and the chemistry between the MCs! Excellent read!

What is there not to love about this book !?
Patrick , his fiancé Evelyn and James run their own PI agency and they went from just scraping by to a booming business thanks to their involvement in bringing down a crime family , the publicity did them well ….
It’s closing time and James is about to leave when Tessa knocks at his door and he lets her in , she explain why she needs her help and she been to the police and they seem to be brushing her off , why would a baker have a stalker !? Well I’ll tell you because she’s gorgeous and she has a successful bakery anyhooJames listens and he’s ready to help ….I just love the name of her bakery “ Cake Me Home” and there’s more than just her Victoria sponge that James likes 😉😜
Someone is out to unsettle Tessa and they’re off to a good start with the letters and the the photos start and I tell you what I’m freaked out for her !!! What blows my mind is the police just blow her off 🤯😡 fear not though because James and his crew are on the case
James may be a workaholic and not mix business with pleasure but Tessa is making him question his resolve …. While trying to find the stalker and guard his heart James has his “ hands full”
This really was a read I’d recommend with a smile on face ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is definitely a series that BNC or ITV should adapt for the screen !!!!!
