Fearless (Irresistible Attraction, #3) in Riptide Publishing

Feb 12, 2013 Alina rated it it was amazing

I loved Priceless and it was really great to revisit Connor and Wes :)

The story has more conflict, than I initially thought, more conflicts, actually and I was beginning to worry about the wedding, but thankfully Dale gave Wes a peace of his mind and it all worked out at the end. The problems in the Wes and Connor's relationship felt real to me and therefore their reactions justified, it didn't seem like the conflict was just thrown in to support the plot. I also loved how the guys didn't magica ...more

Fearless is a great story of acceptance, leaving demons behind and committing to that one person who 'gets' you.

Connor and Wes have been together over a year when out of the blue troubles comes knocking. Connor has been accused of improper behavior and placed on indefinite suspension. He accepts that the chances of him returning to his job are slim, but he doesn't want Wes to worry about it. Ever since the events Wes went through last year, Connor has been determined to protect Wes and shelter him from anything that could hurt him. Wes is beyond happy that their relationship has moved forward, but he knows that Connor is still holding himself back. Even after continued reassurances that he is better, Connor continues to treat him like he is made of glass. This is made abundantly clear when Wes discovers that Connor has been keeping things from him months.

I enjoyed visiting with Wes and Connor. Wes has truly gotten over the events the previous year and it expectantly awaiting their upcoming wedding. It was a treat to see how much he had grown into himself and how they had taken their relationship further. While in book one I felt more connected to Wes, in this installment Connor endeared himself to me much more than before. But, although I understood where he was coming from and why he was trying to protect Wes, I still didn't accept that he kept things from him. Nor did I condone the way Wes acted when he found out that Connor had been keeping things from him. It was like they took one step forward and then two steps back.

The writing was very good with a lot of tender moments and emotions thrown into the mix - it had a bit of angst, a bit of drama and lots of romance. I loved that the author, Cat Grant, had them fight for their love and deal with unpleasant issues before they found their happily ever after. It is because of this that their story and the ending felt more real to me. I enjoyed their interactions and I especially enjoyed how they came together in the end and opened themselves to each other. It gave me hope that they would be alright, I even was misty-eyed. Of course, their chemistry was still hot, so I enjoyed that too. I also enjoyed the secondary characters and what they brought to the story. Even if I felt the need to smack some sense into Wes' aunt during that phone call, she did bring out a change in Wes that was needed in his relationship with Connor.

All in all, a great follow up book that highlighted the fact that without proper communication between these characters their relationship was only going through the motions and not getting anywhere. A great read, indeed! ...more

This story is a pleasant and well-written sequel to Priceless and picks up shortly after the end of that book. There's a lot of drama and internal strife for Wes and Connor, both inside and outside their relationship, as they travel to New York to get married. These issues are both believable and handled in a mature way that reiterates the connection between these two.

The outside world invades the idyllic life Wes and Connor forged which puts their futures in jeopardy and in trying to protect We ...more

A satisfying installment of the Irresistible Attraction series. We return to Connor and Wes, the stars of the first novella of the series on the occasion of their wedding. There is turbulence, much turbulence in their lives and while we were subject to many of Wes' thoughts and emotions about these upheavals, I felt a little short-changed by Connor's. I wanted more. I wanted to know more about the reasoning behind his final decision. I also found myself wanting to know more about his dilemma ove ...more

This one didn't have quite the emotional impact of the first story, Priceless. (And you do need to read Priceless first, though you can probably skip over Doubtless (#2) if you want to, since it focuses more on Steve.) I don't know if it was because it wasn't the same situation (which was very emotionally charged in the first book), or because it felt rushed to get to a resolution before the big event. It just didn't strike the right cord with me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't outstanding either. ...more
