4.5 Can’t Help Falling in Love by Bella Andre is the third book in the Sullivan’s series about a group of eight siblings and their romances. Each book can be read as a standalone but are so yummy I wouldn’t recommend missing a single one! This story belongs to sexy firefighter Gabe Sullivan and is my favorite of the series to date. Three word review: hot, sweet and heartwarming.
Gabe Sullivan is a firefighter in San Francisco who has been burned before when he entered into a relationship with a victim he saved from a fire. So when he rescues Megan Harris and her adorable seven year old daughter Summer its hands off. After losing her husband, Megan has vowed to keep their hearts safe by never dating a man with a dangerous job again. When their two worlds collide it’s almost impossible to ignore the attraction and the tale that unfolds is sweet, extremely hot and kept me turning the pages late into the night.
Gabe Sullivan is literally every woman’s wet dream. Seriously! He is drop dead gorgeous with eyes that show his emotion, incredible sweet an his body is rippled with muscle from his career as a firefighter. Gabe can cook, fold laundry and whisper sweet nothings while you scream his name. Did I mention he is a firefighter? Take a moment to fan yourself ladies. He is a romantic, likes kids and volunteers at the library!! Do I need to finish the review? Have you already bought the book? Megan has been raising her daughter Summer alone. The two have had their share of heartache from loss to the recent fire that destroyed their apartment. I really liked her and understood her fears and the walls she created around her heart. I loved how she wasn’t afraid to share her fantasies and watching her walls come crumbling down was delightful. Summer is adorable, smart and mischievous and she added to the tale and had her own sweet voice. We see more of Sophie Sullivan and get the set up for her story which is next in I Only Have Eyes for You. It promises to be exciting. Of course we see some of the other Sullivan members and hear updates on the previous couples.
Bella Andre knows how to bring her characters to life flaws and all making you fall completely in love with them. The Sullivan’s themselves are delightful and you instantly want to be a part of this dynamic family who obviously love and cherish each other. The banter and rivalry between siblings is delightful as is the love and admiration they feel for each other. Gabe and Megan’s romance was smokin’ hot and the physical attraction was strong but Andre allowed them to grow and fan the flames to keep the fire burning. While they had some issues to struggle through the angst level was low making this a delightful read from beginning to end. Andre pushes the heat level in this novel and the scenes were both tasteful and steamy. Can’t Help Falling In Love has become a personal favorite for me, ok honestly its Gabe! Gabe Sullivan is my new book boyfriend! I adore him! Shhh don’t tell my hubby.

Megan Harris is a woman who avoid risks. Since her first husband died in a plane crash, leaving her to raise their toddler daughter, she does what she can to ensure she and her daughter won't have to deal with that type of heartache again. Unfortunately, she can't control everything and she and her daughter are caught in a horrible apartment fire hiding in the bathtub.

Enter Gabe Sullivan, firefighter extraordinaire.



Gabe has always had a fascination with fire, so firefighting is the perfect fit for him. He never loses his cool in a fire, but when he rescued Megan and Summer during their apartment fire he was bound to break his rule of never dating a fire victim.

Megan and Gabe are perfect for each other, even if they fight their instant attraction for each other. Megan doesn't want to put hers and her daughter's hearts at risk on an adrenaline junkie who might not come home and Gabe doesn't want to be with someone who only sees him as her rescuer. But when the two of them stop fighting each other, they find that what they feel for each is much deeper and much stronger than anything they felt before.

Their road to happiness would have been much easier if Megan was able to let go of her past hurt earlier, but you can see how already losing one husband in a senseless accident would make one gun shy. The problem was, she wasn't really seeing past Gabe's job to the man who was responsible at work and would never purposefully jeopardize himself. Once she was able to do that, she was able to fully open herself to this wonderful man.

And ladies....Gabe is one hot man. For me, Gabe is now tied with Chase as the hottest Sullivan brother. He's funny, thoughtful, a fireman (hello!!) and sexy as hell. Who wouldn't love a man like that.

A fantastic story about two people burned in the past but learning that you can't paint everyone with the same broad brush stroke.
