Adore Me

👎👎🥱🥱🤢🤢👎👎👎👎

Elliot gives us a lovely couple, but struggles to tie the ending together. It reads as though she was reaching for some kind of conflict (any conflict!) and introduces an awkward tertiary character about 80% of way into the book. At which point, he shares that he’s been secretly in love with our heroine. It didn’t work me.

Just when I think that Kelly Elliott can’t possibly top her last book, she proves me wrong. Every. Single. Time. ♥️ I read “The Austin Singles Series” back to back so that I would know all the characters and then once I read “Adore Me” (Book 3), I wouldn’t be so confused. Book #1 in the series (“Seduce Me”) was Incredible and I thought that there was no possible way they could get better. Then on to book #2 (“Entice Me”) and, once again, I was proven wrong because it was amazing! Then came Book #3 in “The Austin Singles Series”, “Adore Me”, and I am absolutely, positively BLOWN. AWAY. Blake & Morgan’s Story was phenomenal! There’s just enough angst to keep you on your toes, but not too much so that your bawling all over yourself (maybe I’m the only one that ever does that?!). Of course they had their obstacles, but nothing that they couldn’t overcome. Morgan (the heroine) has some self esteem/body issues because she doesn’t think that someone like Blake could possibly be interested in her, let alone be attracted to her and want her in the ways she wants him...but she couldn’t be more wrong. Blake (the Hero) had been almost infatuated with her from the very first time he met her when they were in college; but when she mentions she has a boyfriend in the military, he knew he had to back off but he also knew he couldn’t be around her with her boyfriend so he moves away after college. He moves back to be closer to his friends and family, only to find that Morgan is very much single but has demons just like he does. In order for them to truly have a real, honest relationship, they’ll both have to come clean about their secrets...Oh, and did I mention that Morgan is Nash’ baby sister and Nash is one of Blake’s best friends - more like a brother really. No? I forgot to mention that? 😳😆 Obstacle after obstacle... Can Blake and Morgan get through all the things standing in their way, or will they decide they are better off just as friends? This is a MUST READ series for any Romance reader.

I have not found a Kelly Elliott book that I don’t love! She has a way of making you love every one of her couples more than the last! I loved Morgan and Blake! The two of them both suffered a horrible loss. My heart broke for Morgan when certain things from her past were brought to light but I loved how she leaned on Blake instead of pushing him away! These two healed each other. I very sad to see this series end but can’t wait to see what Kelly has in store for us next!

All hail Queen Kelly!!! As sad as I am that this series is coming to an end, it went out with a bang through this book! Blake and Morgan both went through tragedy, and each year, they take a day to mourn and feel the emotions and impact of that tragedy. While they know of each other’s tragedy, neither know the true reason nor that they both go to the same bar to mourn, until now. When Blake realizes Morgan is at the bar and for what reason, he takes it as a sign to essentially shoot his shot. The two have always had feelings towards each other, but neither has ever acted on them until now. With all the feelings and emotions getting misconstrued between each other, they finally just put almost everything on the table and decide to spend time together in secret. But as more misunderstandings continue to happen and the relationship between the two comes out, the question will remain if the two can make it through and together after finding out their connection and secrets. Be prepared for the range of emotions, especially after finding out the connection between the two and Blake’s past! I loved the underlying theme of comedy within this book. The misunderstandings that continue to happen throughout the book gave the storyline that extra bit that made it more enjoyable than the average romance. While I’m sad that this series is over, I can’t wait to see what Kelly brings next! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This book is amazing. I really enjoyed reading all of the books in the Austin Singles Series. However, Adore Me is now my new favorite in this series. Yes I say new favorite because that is what happens every time I read one of Kelly Elliott’s books. It becomes another new favorite. This book had my emotions all over the place and when I finished the last chapter, it left me wanting more of Morgan and Blake’s story. Morgan Barrett is the little sister of Blake Greene’s best friend Nash. Morgan and Blake have this strong attraction for each other that they cannot deny. When they both finally give into their desire, the story starts to unfold. Blake will be your new favorite book boyfriend. I fell in love with Blake and Morgan’s story, as I know you will too.
