Julie absolutely did a fantastic job to start this new series off featuring the characters of Zaxton & Aurelia。 Both are undeniably broken in their own way and both are resistant to letting others in。 I love that this new series is still somewhat interconnect with the Boston Billionaires and & I can NOT wait for the rest of the guys to get their stories told。 This enemies to lovers， fashion focused story gives the best banter between the two main characters & the chemistry is definitely off the Julie absolutely did a fantastic job to start this new series off featuring the characters of Zaxton & Aurelia。 Both are undeniably broken in their own way and both are resistant to letting others in。 I love that this new series is still somewhat interconnect with the Boston Billionaires and & I can NOT wait for the rest of the guys to get their stories told。 This enemies to lovers， fashion focused story gives the best banter between the two main characters & the chemistry is definitely off the charts！！ 。。。more

What a spectacular start to this new series！ Set in the same world as Boston’s Billionaire Bachelors， the first book in the brand new Irresistibly Yours series blew me away。Filled with love， heartbreak， laughter， hope， and a sizzling chemistry， Zaxton and Aurelia’s story was incredible。 They shared such an amazing connection， even as they both fought it， and despite all the obstacles， you knew they were meant to be together。I fell in love with the bond Zax has with his friends and the bond Aurel What a spectacular start to this new series！ Set in the same world as Boston’s Billionaire Bachelors， the first book in the brand new Irresistibly Yours series blew me away。Filled with love， heartbreak， laughter， hope， and a sizzling chemistry， Zaxton and Aurelia’s story was incredible。 They shared such an amazing connection， even as they both fought it， and despite all the obstacles， you knew they were meant to be together。I fell in love with the bond Zax has with his friends and the bond Aurelia forms with her friends at work。 Found families are always a favorite of mine。 And I’m so excited for each of Zax’s friends to fall in love。This was an absolutely fabulous book that was heartfelt， funny， and oh so steamy and the cameos of the Fritz brothers and their women was an added bonus。Can’t wait for more from this series！ 。。。more

A New Group To LoveI really enjoy J。 Saman’s writing。 I’ve read all of the Fritz Family books and was excited to meet a new group of characters starting with this story。 Zaxton Monroe was shattered 8 years ago。 He was on top of the world and then it was yanked from him within moments。 He’s existed since that time， holding a secret that hasn’t been shared with anyone。 Aurelia Whitlock has been shattered by the life she has been living。 She’s trying for one last chance at reaching her dreams。 Zaxt A New Group To LoveI really enjoy J。 Saman’s writing。 I’ve read all of the Fritz Family books and was excited to meet a new group of characters starting with this story。 Zaxton Monroe was shattered 8 years ago。 He was on top of the world and then it was yanked from him within moments。 He’s existed since that time， holding a secret that hasn’t been shared with anyone。 Aurelia Whitlock has been shattered by the life she has been living。 She’s trying for one last chance at reaching her dreams。 Zaxton and Aurelia get thrown together after years apart under suspicious circumstances。 Despite it all， they are attracted to each other， fighting it while succumbing at the same time。 I enjoyed this story and look forward to the rest of the series。 Time to go mark book 2 on Goodreads so I know when it gets released！ 。。。more

Great book！ This was a great book。 Zaxton and Aurelia were meant to be together。 Despite meeting as children and having a tumultuous relationship。 I loved how Aurelia’s designs were going to make her well known。

I enjoy J。 Saman's writing。 The Boston Billionaires series is a fantastic journey with the Abbott-Fritz family。 That being said， I had a hard time connecting with Irresistibly Broken。 I love an awkward， funny opening in romance books。 The first chapter drew me in， but Zaxton grated on my nerves from the start。 He's the former rockstar billionaire who has suffered loss and heartbreak。 He had redeemable moments toward the end of the book， but I never felt attached to him despite his character arc。 I enjoy J。 Saman's writing。 The Boston Billionaires series is a fantastic journey with the Abbott-Fritz family。 That being said， I had a hard time connecting with Irresistibly Broken。 I love an awkward， funny opening in romance books。 The first chapter drew me in， but Zaxton grated on my nerves from the start。 He's the former rockstar billionaire who has suffered loss and heartbreak。 He had redeemable moments toward the end of the book， but I never felt attached to him despite his character arc。 Aurelia was challenging for me; I'm sure it's me and an ability to connect with naive， young heroines， but she fell flat for me and I never felt invested in her HEA。 The last few chapters were my favorite parts of the book。 I enjoyed the end。 Even though I did not connect with this book， I look forward to checking out book two。 The teaser at the end of Irresistibly Broken definitely piqued my curiosity。 。。。more

Zaxton and Aurelia This was a great start to a new series。 I loved that it was in the same world as the Boston Billionaire series and the Fritz family popped up a few times。 Zaxton Monroe has held onto his pain for eight long years and he keeps his circle tight。 Aurelia Whitaker had been on her own since she was sixteen and finally caught a break after being blackballed from the fashion industry。 They may seem like opposites and throw jabs like enemies， but these two were perfect for each other。 Zaxton and Aurelia This was a great start to a new series。 I loved that it was in the same world as the Boston Billionaire series and the Fritz family popped up a few times。 Zaxton Monroe has held onto his pain for eight long years and he keeps his circle tight。 Aurelia Whitaker had been on her own since she was sixteen and finally caught a break after being blackballed from the fashion industry。 They may seem like opposites and throw jabs like enemies， but these two were perfect for each other。 Zaxton and Aurelia fought their chemistry from their first meeting。 Neither seemed to like each other very much， but they were inexplicably drawn to one another。 With the help of some meddling friends and some deep conversations with others， Zaxton and Aurelia come together in a frenzy of hot， forbidden， emotional and inevitable romance。 This was definitely a slow burn but it was worth the wait。 From the moment they decided to give their relationship a chance they were all in。 They were honest with each other and had each others backs。 I loved Zaxton’s trust in Aurelia， especially after how she ended up working for him。 I was glad all the villains got what they deserved in the end， and I wasn’t surprised to find out who the traitor was inside Monroe House。 This was a great introduction to this series。 There were so many characters introduced and I can’t wait to see the rest of the broken men find their way back when they meet their own matches。 。。。more

Super spicy and perfectly swoony， this enemies to lovers romance is as intriguing as it is delightfully banter filled， and it’s a phenomenal start to this new series。 Zax and Aurelia’s story begins with a rather entertaining meeting in front of Zax’s fashion company that Aurelia’s starting at as an intern when someone attempts to mug her， but Zax stops them。 We don’t how at the start， but this isn’t the first time they’ve met， and it’s not the last time they’ll be in each other’s orbit。 Fairly q Super spicy and perfectly swoony， this enemies to lovers romance is as intriguing as it is delightfully banter filled， and it’s a phenomenal start to this new series。 Zax and Aurelia’s story begins with a rather entertaining meeting in front of Zax’s fashion company that Aurelia’s starting at as an intern when someone attempts to mug her， but Zax stops them。 We don’t how at the start， but this isn’t the first time they’ve met， and it’s not the last time they’ll be in each other’s orbit。 Fairly quickly， they start to work closely together， and while they’ve got an uneasy history， something else altogether starts to bloom between them。 But can there ever be more between them despite the past and suspicious present？Right from the start， Aurelia is the sort of character that I love。 She’s bright and sassy but good natured， too。 And even though Zax comes off as a total grump in the beginning， it’s pretty immediately evident that he’s got good reason to be。 His character is multifaceted， and the way he’s portrayed is well done。 I love that they’ve both had a tough go of things in life， but that they’re trying their best to persevere。 And Saman delivers the spice with Zax and Aurelia。 Their chemistry is white hot and explosive， and when they finally give in to each other？ Let me just say it’s good。 Real good。 Not only is all the teasing of one another cheeky and fun， but then their more intimate moments are intense。 Couple all that with the greater storyline that lends some tension and suspense， and you get a book that’s absolutely gripping。This series is off to a great start with Zax and Aurelia。 This heartfelt， steamy， and witty romance is exactly what I wanted it to be， and I can’t wait to see where this series goes from here。 。。。more

Irresistibly Broken by J。 Saman I am a fan of this author so I was super excited when I knew a new series was on the way。 This is Zax and Aurelia’s journey and I must be honest I wasn’t sure if I was going to live it。 I was thinking ugh another boring taboo stepsister weird romance。 But you guys it’s not that。 This was well written。 We have Zax who goes from being on a band and famous to becoming the CEO of Monroe Fashion。 A big huge change one was full of chaos and full of distractions and one Irresistibly Broken by J。 Saman I am a fan of this author so I was super excited when I knew a new series was on the way。 This is Zax and Aurelia’s journey and I must be honest I wasn’t sure if I was going to live it。 I was thinking ugh another boring taboo stepsister weird romance。 But you guys it’s not that。 This was well written。 We have Zax who goes from being on a band and famous to becoming the CEO of Monroe Fashion。 A big huge change one was full of chaos and full of distractions and one is nothing but structure and no interference from any distractions。 That is until Aurelia comes to work at company。 He of course doesn’t not trust her so he keeps her close by I mean what can go wrong right？ This is where feeling surface and they learn who they are as adults。 Their attraction is palpable and I loved their banter towards each other。 Definitely a book I would happily recommend and can’t wait for what comes next。 。。。more
