About this ebook

A FREE Steamy, Family Drama Series Starter – Revenge, Pretend Relationship

I hired her to take down my enemy. Now I'm determined to have her as my own.

I’m Maxon Reed—multimillionaire, mogul…shark. If a contract isn’t high profile and big money, I pass. Now that I’ve found the deal of a lifetime, I’m jumping. But one cutthroat bastard stands between me and success—my brother. I’ll need a totally devious ploy to distract cynical Griff. Then fate drops a luscious redhead in my lap who’s just his type.

Sassy Keeley Kent accepts my challenge to become Griff’s perfect girlfriend. But between the witty conversation and the days together, I’m having trouble resisting her. The quirky dreamer is everything I don’t tolerate…but she’s utterly charming. I more than want her; I’m desperate to own her. I’m not even sure how drastic I’m willing to get to make her mine—but I’m about to show her.

**More Than Want You is the first novel in the Reed Family Reckoning Contemporary Romance series. Every book can be read as a standalone. A HOT, romantic story with strong language, sexy times, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after!**

Ratings and reviews

I had to slow down my reading bc I just wanted to know what happens! Shayla has a way with keeping her stories fresh and her "love scenes" original. I absolutely cannot stand whiny female leads, and Keeley is not one of those! She's sensitive, but a strong, independent thinker. I enjoyed her and Maxon's characters, as well as their story a lot. I definitely will read the next one in the series.

The first book in the More Than Words series is a gripping read that captivates readers. Mason and Keeley are two strong, dynamic characters that easily grab readers’ attentions and their romance is sweet at times and full of sizzling magnetic chemistry. Maxon and Keeley are lovable, complex characters and their relationship is full of scorching hot passion that heats up the pages but it is also a bit complex as it features an unusual twist with the male having an agenda that he is consumed by, one that is completely blocking his heart which keeps the emotional turmoil high throughout this story. The plot is steady paced and flows smoothly from beginning to end and the story is intriguing holding readers captive throughout as they wonder whether this couple will ever reach a happily ever after. With a couple of surprising twists that readers won’t see coming and character stubbornness ruling this relationship, this romance is quite an enjoyable read and since the author once again spins a wonderful tale full of fascinating characters and complex character interactions, readers can easily become caught up in the story. This romance is a standalone story but readers will definitely want to come back for more than the words of this series.

Though the climax is 'More Than' obvious, the author manages well to keep the reader on tenterhooks. As the story unfolds, the clouds of suspense give way to ”Max(on) Sunshine”.
