Love Me
Hard-working corporate attorney Axel Becker has tried settling down in the past, but when the relationship didn’t work out, he focused on his career to the exclusion of everything else. Enter, Naphressa St. James. The sexy project manager is a former lover and reminds him of what his life could be—fun, exciting. She’s just the woman he might need to shake him out of a rut, but convincing her they belong together will be a lot harder than he expected.
Naphressa admits she and Axel have chemistry, but she’s not interested in getting married again. Been there, done that. Except the more time she spends with Axel, the more she finds the idea of settling down with him to be downright…irresistible.

Everyone need to find someone to love them!
Axel, best friend to Cole Eubanks and Braxton Harper met this beautiful mysterious woman Naphressa while vacationing overseas and was smitten. Because she did not disclose her real name he had no way of locating her again though he had made plans to try!!!!! Fast forward almost a year and a half later and a business meeting puts them front and center in each other's lives once more. Because both of them were still recovering from not so stellar love lives in the past they entered into what they told each other was purely sexual encounters. When all of the right ingredients are present between two consenting adults that type of relationship never stays just sex for long. Their sexual encounters morphed into love. Unfortunately the knowledge of their love did not sit well with Naphressa's deceased husband's parents so they took an adverse action against her that thankfully having an attorney as a love mate did not allow them to kick her out empty handed. So much more took place in this beautifully penned love story that one cannot disclose it all here without rewriting an already excellently written novel and spoiling the read for others who will undoubtedly fall in love with this story as I have. Suffice it to note having someone truly loving you and in your corner makes all of the difference in the world! This is what Axel turned out to be for Naphressa!!! This second book in the Irresistible Husbands collaboration between these three ladies is further whetting my reading desire to read through to the last in the series. I have read two out of three, this wonderful book by Delaney Diamond, an ARC of Sharon C Cooper's book Show Me (for an honest review which is the only reviews I do) and now I am poised to read Do Me by Sheryl Lister! Ladies I enjoy all of each of your writings and now you have given me a triple reading delight!!!! Thank each of you very much! Now on to the last in this series. You ladies thoroughly ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Love me by Delaney Diamond is part of the Irresistible Husband series. The reader knows from page one that corporate attorney Axel Becker fits the description of irresistible. He has a vacation fling with project manager Naphressa St. James, that turns out to be much more. The passion is off the charts. Unfortunately for Axel, Naphressa withholds key information about herself. Axel can’t get her out of his head and now no one else will do. The book builds to a climax in my mind right away because I couldn’t wait for Axel to find Naphressa again.
The two rediscover each other almost a year and a half later when they cross paths for work. Axel realizes that Naphressa has been within reach all along. He feels that their reconnection is meant to be and he’s not letting go. He is definitely a lawyer; He’s persistent and prepared to negotiate to get what he wants.
Ms. Diamond describes Axel as “dark and tempting, like some decadent treat.” He owns any room he enters and exudes confidence. He’s arrogant, but in a sexy way. This gives the reader the perfect visual. Axel also has a certain fixation that Naphressa just can’t seem to forget. Naphressa is confident, which shows in how she handles herself professionally and with Axel.
The main characters names are different and at the same time fitting. I learned just enough about Axel’s friends Colton and Braxton to peak my interest to read the remaining books. The plot of Love Me pulled me in right away and I highly recommend it.

They both needed love
Both Naphressa and Axel needed someone to love them. These two were both hurt from past companions and relationships and allowed that hurt to affect their current live life. Axel was quick to realize that in order to be guppy he had to leave the past behind and after meeting Naphressa was ready to do just that. Naphressa was so hurt by hurt deceased husband that she was not willing to move on, professionally under her in-laws thumb also had her afraid to move on. Axel wasn't giving up and Naphressa realized she deserved happiness.
This was the conclusion to the Irresistible Husband series and I totally recommend this book and thus series.

I loved this book and the storyline. Axel and Naphressa had such a good vibe and I enjoyed watching them fall in love. The book had it's funny moments and drew you in with it's serious moments. I liked that we got to see their characters develop over time. I can't lie, when Axel and Naphressa saw each other again for the first time, I was so excited to watch it play out. I spent the entire book rooting for them. And let's talk about the sex, good gawd! The scenes were so vividly described, I could picture every one of them. This was my first book by this author and it definitely won't be my last.

He Loved Her
Yes, he loved her, and had the gumption to show her, as well as tell her. The next story in the irresistible husband series was yet another example of a great collaboration between authors. Alex Becker was a corporate lawyer and a ladies man getting tired of that lifestyle. While on vacation, he met the woman who would enrich his life. Naphressa was a project manager and widower trying to stay above the fray. A man she'd met in her recent past would hold the answer to loving her for real.

Everyday Of My Life I Fall More And More In Love With You
Axel knew while they were in Belize that Naphressa was his one and that they would one day cross paths again. Axel and Naphressa did cross paths again at at business meetings and at that time he found out about Byron. Victor and Kathy were so wrong to want Naphressa to keep up the devoted, grieving widow pretense in Byron's honor when he really didn't deserve it at all. I'm glad that Naphressa really received love from Axel and he showed her that wasn't anyone going to get away with hurting his woman.

Highly recommended!! Kudos, Delaney!! 💜

Unconventional connection

You'll see what hardworking and driven gets you. You'll see loyalty on display.
More importantly You'll see what protection from someone you love looks like.

Sucha Tease
I have always loved Ms Delaney Diamond's books, but this by far was the BIGGEST tease ever!!! How dare she hook us and pull us in just to end the book... NO MA'AM!!! This book was waaaay too short. I was so madly in love with Axel after being courted in 20 something chapters, all for it to come to an end. I could have gone on and on and on reading this book it was so good. She never disappoints!!!

Absolutely loved it!
This story started out a little slow for me but all in all it was a storyline. The relationship between Axel and Nephressa started out hot and heavy in Belize and definitely heated up once they reunited in Atlanta. Her husband’s parents got on my nerves and I think that they knew about their son’s infidelities. Very well written, flowed well and quite interesting.

Loved the way he loved her
Axel and Naphressa, when an island fling turns into the love of your dreams. Real feelings but fake name, but fate stepped in and all things fake turned real. Naphressa was on a complicated situation but life has a way of working out the kinks and when you have the support of a good man it's even better. I'll take an Axel in my life any time.

First read of series
This was the first book of this multi author series that I read. I love author Delaney Diamond’s work. This was a great read and Axel is a wonderful character. The relationship between him, Braxton and Cole seems genuine and I can’t wait to read their stories. My only concern with this story is that the passage of time seems very confusing.

Axel and Naphressa chemistry was so on point. They were right for each other. Their love story just flowed and made you want to just keep reading about their life together. This one made my heart flutter. Kudos to Delaney Diamond on another wonderful story.

I absolutely loved Axel and Naphressa! Together they were a beautiful couple who had to learn to trust each other as well as open their hearts to love. Their chemistry was off the charts! I found myself mesmerized so many times during this book. I loved their love! Great read!

Nice Read!
I enjoyed reading this book about Axel and Naphressa! Man, these two had so much chemistry that they were attracted to each other from the start! I must say that her deceased husband's parents were so wrong with the way they treated Naphressa! I know that everyone who reads this book/series should enjoy it. I definitely recommend it.

Axel and Nessa as her nephews called her went through a lot... She trying to keep her dead husband good name even though he was a dog. I'm so glad when Axel finally found out who she was came guns a blazing, she needed the unconditional love that he gave her but was so glad when she got her ex in-laws to firing her. Can't wait for the next 3 books.

Trusting is not always easy!
It is very hard to trust when the person you loved was supposed to love you back! You have to be open and see the new person for who they are! I love the chemistry between Napheressa and Axel, they were perfect for each other and they each gave to the what they were destined to have...love, trust, happiness and a family eventually.

Right place right time
Alex found what he didn't know he was looking for while on vacation. Napressa found what she needed after marrying into a verbally abusive, controlling family. Great story.

Another hit from one of my favourite romance writers. Axel and Naphressa’s love story was sweet and hot!
Loved the way he convinces her to gradually let down her guard at her own pace and not through pressure. Enjoyed it!

Naphressa and Axel were a cute couple. Met while on vacation, had an affair and that was suppose to be the end. Not so. Fast forward one year plus, they meet again. It’s on. 💕 Great job Delaney.

The protective nature of Alex was very touching however for me the story was slow moving. Also the interaction between Bessie and other characters was stilted.

Nice story!
The part that Axel showed his care for Nephressa was endearing and satisfying as if he had punched her ex in-laws in the nose. What was meant to be, when they met happen later and was endearing.

Good read
Doesn't hurt to know people in high places. Nephressa trying to build her life back was not ready for a relationship after her husbands death but Axel had other plans. Being a widow and working at the families business put a a strain on her love life.

Nice story
I enjoyed it, overall. Naphressa and Axel meeting on vacation and then finding that they live in the same city is kinda hot. I felt there was a certain depth that was missing for me, as far as the characters. But as a whole, I dig it.
