I discovered my ex’s secret. Now I’ll do anything to win her back.

I’m Griffin Reed—cutthroat entrepreneur and competitive bastard. Trust is a four-letter word and everyone is disposable…except Britta Stone. Three years ago, she was my everything before I stupidly threw her away. I thought I’d paid for my sin in misery—until I learned we have a son. Finding out she’s engaged to a bore who’s rushing her to the altar pisses me off even more. I intend to win her back and raise our boy. I’ll have to get ruthless, of course. Luckily, that’s one of my most singular talents.

Sixty days. That’s what I’m asking the gritty, independent single mother to give me—twenty-four/seven. Under my roof. And if I have my way, in my bed. Britta says she wants nothing to do with me. But her body language and passionate kisses make her a liar. Now all I have to do is coax her into surrendering to the old magic between us. Once I have her right where I want her, I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I more than need her.

Format: Kindle Edition

Book two in the More Than Words series is another emotionally gritty romance that draws readers in and refuses to let go. After throwing the love of his life, Griffin’s discovered that they have a son together and decides he will do whatever it takes to win her back. Britta is engaged and on the cusp of moving on with her life and there is no way she open her heart enough to let Griffin in again. Griffin and Britta are strong, characters that readers can’t help but feel for as they try to navigate the tense emotional roller coaster of the current situations and the emotions that flow between this couple is poignant, gritty and real. They have the sizzling chemistry and the undeniable attraction but the trust just isn’t there and readers can’t help but become caught up in the anticipation of what will this couple have to endure and will they be able to reach that happily ever after stage.

The story flows at a steady pace and with lots of uncertainty which keeps readers glued to the pages of this intense and emotion charged romance. The characters really reach out to readers and it is obvious that this couple belong together but proving that one can be trusted is easier said than done and in order to really win the heart, one needs to let go of the past and purge it from their system by sharing the pain with the other and the author has made that painfully clear in this realistically feeling romance that caused me shed more than a few tears.

Romance Between The Sheets

Just keeps getting better!!!

Reviewed in the United States on 13 June 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

More Than Need You is part of the series More Than Words and that is the perfect way to explain the theme for this book. A relationship is built and destroyed and rebuilt again on more than words. It takes love, anger, forgiveness and happiness. This book has it all.

Griff is amazing even with all his faults. He made a huge mistake 3 years ago and ruined the most important relationships in his life. He has the sins of his parents on his shoulders and that has continued to eat away at him and affect his relationships with the people who are closest to him. Griff wants to be a better man for Britta but it doesn't happen overnight. And he has a lot to learn.

Britta is the love that Griff pushed away. There is a lot of reasons why Griff did what he did but Britta now wants to protect herself and her son. She doesn't want to put herself in the same position to get hurt again. Plus so much time has passed that old wounds have festered and she doesn't know how they can heal.

Keeley and Maxon also give great advice to Griff, especially Keeley. She is a force to be reckoned with. She gives Griff something he desperately needs, a friend. She is that ear that all of us need from time to time and she isn't afraid to tell Griff that his is being stupid.

I love this book!!! It has all the elements that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. I really adored Griff. Make no mistake, he has his moments where you want to tell him off but he had a chance to look inside himself to become something more than his father. I understand Britta in the way that she didn't want to put her heart on the line again and just so much time had passed.

I also really love how music is weaved throughout this story and series. I can tell how important music is to Shayla Black. She is really knowledgable and her playlist is amazing and fits perfectly to the mood and tone of the book.

We also get some insight about Harlow and the man she is about to marry. The bothers are already expressing their thoughts. I can't wait!!!

Love the book and audio!

Reviewed in the United States on 1 March 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

More Than Need You, the second novel in the More Than Words series by Shayla Black is Griffin Reed and Britta’s story. Like book one I purchased the audiobook immediately after I finished reading the e-book and began listening to the words in Christian Fox’s voice.
I read a lot of books about characters with dark or damaged paths. As a matter of fact, I’m drawn to them. It doesn’t matter to me if it is the hero, the heroine, or both. There is something about the characters as they learn to trust and deal with their past. Griffin Reed is the dark character in this book.

If you read the first book, you know a little about the way Griff treated his former girlfriend, Britta. Knowing what he did, I wasn’t sure if he was salvageable for me. I wasn’t sure Shayla could convince me that Griff is worth forgiving. More than Need You picks up parallel with the ending of More Than Want You. With the parallel scenes, the reader experiences some of the final events from Griff’s perspective.

More Than Need You is well written from Griff’s point of view. Maxon and Keeley are also present. Keeley was a friend of Griff’s for a couple years and still works to help him, and Britta repairs their past. I love that her communication is still through music. For me, Griff redeems himself quite nicely. More is revealed about the Reed’s parents and the life Griff had as a teen. It is sad that a person who appears to have all the opportunities afforded an upper-class family, but in reality, he is used by both parents. His father uses him against his brother, and his mother uses him to get an in with some influential women.

Britta is a lovely character. Her priority is her son. Rightfully so, she doesn’t trust Griff not to hurt her again, and she fears he will leave his son if he has contact. It is confusing that Brita held onto the hope that he would come back and makes the decision to move on just as he does. He wants to explain, but she doesn’t really listen. Honestly, who can blame her?

One of my favorite aspects of Shayla’s characters is how believable they are. I can see where a person conditioned to wait for every person in their life to serve up betrayal that s/he turns away. This is Griff I believe that the other person in the relationship will have a hard time giving that person the benefit of the doubt. I’m team Harlow on this point and agree that Britta set Griff up and Griff failed.

Shayla Black takes us on a realistic journey of love, loss and a second chance to get it right. She guides these characters on a frustrating journey of pain and heartbreak, but the characters don’t give up. There are many moments of joy especially when both characters are in parent mode. I love experiencing all the “feels” with these characters. While this is the second book in the series, it easily stands on its own. Everything you need to know is presented here. The conclusion of More Than Need You gives the reader a solid ending while whetting the appetite for the next book where Harlow will reveal her story. Can’t wait!

Audio Book Review
This is the second book I’ve listened to with Christian Fox as narrator. He does an excellent job. At first, I thought he might throw me off as I recently heard him telling Maxon’s story. It didn’t. I dropped right into Griff’s trials as interpreted by Christian. I highly recommend More Than Need You as an audiobook for all audio fans. Brilliantly done!

Better and Better with Each Story

Reviewed in the United States on 7 March 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book centers around Maxon's brother, Griff and his ex-girlfriend Britta, who works for Maxon's real estate firm. Griff and Britta have a past and he left her suddenly and without explanation. Griff is broken and has a dark past, decidedly a product of his damaging childhood where he constantly witnessed his father cheating on his mother, his mother's indifference and greed, and his father telling him that his brother is his competitor and enemy, not his blood. There are many surprises in this story that add to the heartbreaking events that occur. I cried several times as Britta witnesses the broken boy behind the man and Griff finally realizes that no matter how hard he tries, he can't outrun his past. Even though this book is set in the beautiful backdrop of Maui, the scenery is secondary to the battle that Griff and Britta face fighting their way to their HEA. Although this is the second book in the series, this is my first time reading any of Shayla Black's work and I am a HUGE fan now. So looking forward to the next book in the series!!

I'm loving the Reed brothers!

Reviewed in the United States on 25 February 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Griffin and Britta's story is a tough one. Some of this story is brought up in More Than Want You (book 1 in this series), so you'll want to read that first--IMO. Griff and Britta were in love and their future together was assumed. Until Griff uncovers a betrayal he can't forgive. Leaving Britta broken-hearted, they go their separate ways, and move on from each other. When Griff learns that he made a stupid assumption about Britta, and more shockingly discovers he has a son, he's determined to win both their hearts.

Britta, determined to raise her son without Griff, she's not about to let him back in her heart. But can Britta push away the only man she's ever loved, and the father of her child? This was a more emotional story, and I could absolutely see both Griff and Britta's sides. With not only herself to think about, Britta has to take into account her son, and his relationship with his father. This book was no less hot and steamy than More Than Want You, and this was also a great story with another Type A personality, and the one woman who can keep him in line.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Maxon and Griff's sister, Harlow's story unfolds in the next book.

Emotional but satisfying story

Reviewed in the United States on 25 March 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was a highly emotional story, about a man whose past and hot temper led him to turn away from his brother and his girlfriend, not knowing his girl was pregnant with his son.
Griff Reed blew up over a misunderstanding and lost everyone who meant anything to him. He turned to a counselor, who was useless to him-but the therapist’s receptionist became his best friend-and his brother’s girlfriend. She engineered a reconciliation with his brother, who informs him that Griff’s ex had his son a little over two years ago.
Once Griff learns he’s a father, he heads straight to confront Britta-only to find himself crashing her engagement party to another man.
Britta understandably doesn’t want anything to do with the man who dumped her and refused to listen when she tried to tell him she was pregnant. But Griff is determined to claim not only his son, but the only woman who ever meant anything to him.
Can these two people, both suffering from betrayal, come together in a relationship, or has the past cause too much damage?
I loved both Griff and Britta. Griff is a bit ruthless, but his need for someone like Britta is part of his entire being. Britta is a caring, loving mother and understandably tries to protect her son and her own heart, but she realizes her own mistakes as well.
Overall, a most enjoyable read, with great characters and plot.

A Different POV I LOVE

Reviewed in the United States on 19 June 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I love this series. Set in Maui, HI it's filled with imagery that brings the senses alive. We met Britta in Maxon's story, the first book in the series. We had learned that she had a baby with Maxon's younger brother Griff. Everyone had thought that Griff didn't care for either Britta or their son. When in fact, he didn't know about his son at all. He never received the letter Britta had sent telling him about their son. While reconciling his relationship with Maxon, he finds out the thousands upon thousands of misunderstandings that have kept him from the woman he loves and the son he never knew existed. This story is Griff's journey to win back Britta and his son. It's a beautiful second chance love story.

I love that Shayla wrote this series in the male point of view. To know what Griff was thinking the whole time gave this book its unique feel. Sure, I wondered a thousand times what Britta was thinking but the details that Shayla put in were enough to keep me satisfied and reading. Griff and Britta's second chance love story was filled with anticipation but also filled with so many feels. The playlist that Shayla accompanied with the book really contributed to the feel of the book. It gave the story an added dimension. It pulled you in.

I can't wait to read the third book to see what happens next within these three siblings.

Loved Britta and tolerated Griff

Reviewed in the United States on 26 April 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

3.5 stars. I couldn't wait to read about Griff and Britta after knowing what happened between them in the previous book. It was ripe was for angst, tension, forgiveness and second chances. I think I would've preferred this story in Britta's POV, though. Griff has done a lot of damage to his relationship with Britta and now he's on a mission to win her back to get the family that he's always wanted with her. He's extremely pushy and persistent. He refuses to back down and he backs her into a corner so he can show her how much he's changed and prove that he's a better man and the perfect man for her. Griff is as exasperating as his brother Maxon. They were bred to be emotionless jerks who simply climb to the top, but don't form attachments to anyone. It's a little exhausting to be in Griff's head with how much he insists that he's changed and proving himself as such, but still acknowledging that he's got a bit of a bratty side to him that doesn't play fair. But in this scenario, he can't be fair in order to win so I admire his drive. I did like Britta a lot and how she wouldn't cave for a long time because she didn't know what Griff's true motives were or if he could be trusted again. However, Griff's secret did explain a lot about him and actually shaped him into a more vulnerable individual rather than the shark that he appears to be on the outside. Since I'm not a big Keeley fan, I didn't really enjoy knowing about her song selections that she made Griff listen to because it just didn't really add to anything.

Second Chance at Love

Reviewed in the United States on 30 December 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

FINAL DECISION: A second chance at love with an messed up jerk of a hero who has to reveal everything about himself to reclaim the woman that he loves and hurt.

THE STORY: Griffin Reed has just learned that he has a son. Three years ago, he made a mistake in thinking that his brother had betrayed him and that Griffin's girlfriend was complicit. He tossed her away. Now he wants a second chance but Britta Stone has moved on and just gotten engaged to a reliable man. Griffin has only a few short weeks to convince Britta that he is a changed man who loves her and wants her and their son to be a family.

OPINION: I overall enjoyed this book and I really like the trope of the jerk hero who has to chance everything to win back the woman he loves. I just felt, however, that the book went on too long without much changing in Britta and Griffin's relationship. In the first half of the book, I got tired of pages and pages of him desperately wanting her and her not responding. I think I would have liked the book better if I got Britta's point of view as well (We do get a glimpse at the end).

Once the two move in together, however, and they really started to develop their relationship, the book got much better for me. I liked that Griffin has to accept responsibility for his behavior. By the end of the book, I was totally on their side.

As the two begin to communicate, the book gets much better because Britta's feeling are more transparent. I also really liked how Griffin is determined to make grand gestures for Britta to show his love.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book's timeline overlaps slightly with the first book in the series MORE THAN WANT YOU.

CONNECTED BOOKS: MORE THAN NEED YOU is the second book in the More Than Words series. These books are connected by overlapping characters but can be read as standalones.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

4 Sexy stars!

Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have been a huge fan of Shayla Black and was super excited to read the second book in the More Than Words series. I loved Griffin and Britta and thought their second chance romance was fantastic. I loved their chemistry, banter and combustible attraction and was looking forward to their reconciliation.

If you read the previous book in the series you know that Britta and Griffin have a painful past. After abandoning her three years earlier over a false assumption, he now finds out that he left her while she was pregnant with their child. So now he is on a mission to win back the girl he lost and father the child he never knew about. But will Britta give him a second chance to prove to her he is not the man he used to be? Be prepared for fireworks, folks!

I thought this novel was outstanding. I completely fell for Britta and Griffin and I loved their deep connection. I can not wait for the third book!! Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula

A 5 star or a 4 star?!

Reviewed in the United States on 29 October 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had to really think hard before giving this story a 5 star only because Griff made me so angry about 75% of the time in this book and Britta even more like 90% that I had trouble reading chapters and admittedly skipped whole pages because I wanted to reach into the pages the shake both of them! I was pleased the story never dwelled on whether or not Griff only wanted Britta because of Jamie. He clearly wanted Britta AND Jamie as a package deal. It was all I could do for the majority of the book to not skip to the end to be sure it was going to end like I wanted it to. If there were ever two characters who irritated me more, I can't remember who. So, be warned: the peaks and valleys in this book make you want to alternately throw the book at the wall and breathlessly hurry to turn the page. Very emotional book. A bit draggy in a few spots but I highly recommend it.

Griffin and Britta pretty much ripped my heart out.

Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2020

Griffin and Britta pretty much ripped my heart out. Through the whole story, I was right there with Griffin begging her to hear his pleas. I understood her side of it really but I also saw his. Add in that sweet precious boy and I melted.

Oh, man, did I want to get in between them and yell "Stop! Listen!". :)

I admire the creative ways he pushed her to try again. I loved all the sneakiness behind the scenes with Maxon, Keeley, and Harlow. I almost lost it with the morning-after scene.

But true to Shayla Black's way with words, she pulled them out of the fire in a spectacular way! And saved my sanity in the process. ;)

Hard Won Love

Reviewed in the United States on 14 August 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

More Than Need You is book #2 in the More Than Words Series. Griffin Reed walked away from his brother who was his business partner and his live in girlfriend Britta Stone over a misunderstanding not realizing that she was pregnant. Three long years he ran around with hundreds of women having meaningless sex then he finds out he has a son. Britta has been heartbroken since Griff broke her heart out of the blue without an explanation and left her pregnant more than 3 years ago. Now she is left to raise her son by herself until she decides that she can either stay single or settle for being "in like" with her boyfriend Makaio and agree to marry him. That is until Griff barges back into her life demanding to see their son Jamie. This story is about how it takes more than just words it takes actions, crying, screaming,music, lots more of talking and understanding before there can be forgiveness then love. Absolutely loved their journey. This is a standalone but you learn a lot about the two of them in book 1 of the series More Than Want You.

Wow this book is full of angsty goodness! This book gave me all the feels, I laughed, cried and sighed. Britta and Griff have a hard road to happily ever after but it is so worth the read! I love that this book is all from Griff's point of view which gives the story a different twist. Griff is determined to be a part of Britta and their sons life. He wants to make amends for the past and convince Britta that they can live happily ever after. Britta is a strong single mother who gives Griff a run for his money. This book is angsty but that just makes the end so much sweeter. The angst adds to the story and does not bring it down. If you are looking for a book with depth, romance, humor and redemption then this needs to be your next read for 2018!

Pace is too slow, hero is an a.... and heroine not much better. I honestly feel for any child in this position but I don’t have the stomach to listen to the self talk about the the particulars. This might grab the interest of another, but not me. The fact that the author got my emotions wound up does say something positive for her writing abilities!
