Layla Hagen has a new series for us and I’m absolutely thrilled. I loved her Bennett Family series, but now she gives us the Connor Family series. They’re even related to the Bennett’s, woohoo! The first book, Anything For You, tells the story of Landon Connor and Maddie Jennings. Their chemistry is undeniable, but they know their time is limited.

I highly recommend this new series and I can’t wait for the next book. Thankfully, Landon has plenty of siblings that need their own happily ever afters. Grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with theConnor family. You know there will be plenty of sexy times, so what are you waiting for?

5 Stars – One Click this One – Fantastic Read

Wonderful!!!!! I can’t say enough great things about the first book in the new Connor series. I love how well the characters were developed. It is impossible not to fully love Landon, Maddie and the entire Connor clan. Connor experienced his first major loss in his life when he was just 19 years old. He then experiences another at 30. The emotional toll of both of these incidents, has caused him to be afraid of love so he throws himself into his company in an attempt to hide from love coming back into his life. Maddie grew up with a lack of emotional support and love. It isn’t that her parents don’t love her but they leave her alone with her sister Grace frequently. Then she moves from one side of the country to the other with her fiancé but he is also not a supportive person and makes her feel little and unimportant.

Circumstances have Maddie and Landon meeting for the first time. Neither of them are looking for love so they continue to fight their mutual attraction to each other. Time, while not on their side, also works against them when trying to stay away from each other.

So will Landon throw off his fear of sharing his heart and loving someone? Will Maddie finally believe that she is special and deserves someone who will love and support her dreams. One Click this beautiful sweet love story and join Maddie and Landon on the journey to an HEA.

Landon needs to loosen up and Maddie seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

3.5 'Learn to Love Again' STARS

Tailored suit meets smart and sexy garden lady.
Maddie may have had the green thumb,
but Landon was the one doing all the plowing.

Landon is your typical hotshot CEO, a commanding presence in and outside of the office. He shows as much commitment and attention to the nine-to-five as the woman he chooses to share bed with.

Landon is very hands-on...
& workin' out business deals isn't the only thing he does with his mouth.

Of course he's deliciously sexy in a tailored suit and pleasantly stubborn without being a complete arrogant piece of work. In the romance book realm I can appreciate the balance.

He comes from a big and loud family that really defines the man he is... Landon isn't a stranger to tragedy, losing his parents at a young age, and his amazing wife—Landon understands the importance of family and what it means to make sacrifices. He's not afraid to step up and do the right thing, but he's not so inclined to let anyone help him—hence the stubbornness.

Maddie is equally stubborn, sexy in a pair of sneakers or a simple dress, either way she's down-right feisty. Like Landon, Maddie values family. She's also not afraid of getting dirty in the name of hardwork. Landon prefers the office, Maddie loves the outdoors. Life threw Maddie an ex-curve ball, but she's resilient and incredibly motivated to do life her way.

She finds herself easily swayed be the sexy CEO in a tailored suit. Landon proves to be very persuasive with his mouth.

They are instantly drawn to each other. It's fun, it's flirty and downright fluffy. Plenty of Damsel and distress moments to make your heart flutter and tension to make you blush.

So why not 5 stars? *sigh*

I value the cat n' mouse game
The good old fashion push or pull.

I'm not all about that instant gratification of insta-love, so to speak. I wasn't in love with Maddie and Landon and they were already ridiculously in love with their perfect relationship.

If you love insta-love, *nothing wrong with that*
you will love Landon and Maddie's story.

The plot was meh...well, there really wasn't one. It was really a mad dash to the big bang. I could think of worst book goals, but I digress. There was little to no conflict, and I like me some drama. Again, really comes down to personal preference.

Everything was fluffy n' perfect.
Landon was thee perfect man.
A good listener, caring, cocky without being a complete douchebag & I absolutely hated him for it...just kidding although God forbid he have a single undesirable flaw.

Maddie's perspective seemed to be less important than Landon. Her backstory was also kind of a question mark. At times the family dialogue was a bit of a headache. Overall the book was dialogue driven, funny at times and wonderfully heartfelt, but also hard to envision.

In a nutshell, the plot, the pace, the characters, all took a backseat to the mind blowing sex. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you set out to read...There were some seriously steamy sexy time scenes delivered in this book, and quite beautifully... but I was disappointed that the same attention to those scenes didn't carry out in other areas of the story.

Landon and Maddie's journey was cute, full of sexual tension and all things flirty but it wasn't an epic love story. That doesn't mean it wasn't a fun read, it just could've been so much more.

I am in love with this series already. I was sad when Layla wrote the last book for the Bennett family, but the glimpse we got of the Connor clan, made me super excited for this spin off series. This book was sexy, sweet, and fun. I can't wait to read the next book, and I hope we see little glimpses of the Bennett family throughout the series.
