Irresistibly Dangerous

Rate this book
For the record, I knew I never should have touched her.
She was everything good in this world and I was everything but.
I was too broken to care about how off limits my best friends’ cousin was.
But I didn’t know how to stop.
She was the air I needed while drowning in darkness.
Until I broke her heart and finally forced myself to do the right thing and walk away.
Six years later she’s on my doorstep asking me for a favor I can’t say no to.
Only a marriage of convenience to Georgia Monroe is anything but convenient.
Not with how I still crave her despite the promises I made to never touch her again.
Not with the dangers lurking around us, coming after her in ways she knows nothing about.
I’m the only one who can help her.
Her dark knight. A silent hacker.
The cold, broody man who never felt worthy of her love.
But now everything is different.
I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and prove I deserve a second chance at owning this irresistibly dangerous woman’s heart.
No matter what comes my way.

I'm going to make a controversial statement, but this is the BEST book that Julie has ever written. And that comes from someone who absolutely adores all of her books, but this one is just on a whole other level -- I mean the chemistry, the witty banter, the heartbreaking love that Georgia thinks is unrequited but absolutely wasn't, the revelations Lenox made and how all of it was to prove to G that he wasn't the same broken man she had loved six years ago, and did absolutely everything to get her to see that he was worth taking another chance on, even if she could never fully forgive him. The absolute swoony, hilarious, gigantic love these two had for one another, the person growth, the goddamn heat that melted my kindle and made me want to climb my husband like a cowgirl, if was all literal perfection. Georgia and Lenox were not only the best goodbye to a wonderful series, but they were the best couple in this series. YEAH, I SAID IT.

So years ago, right after Lenox's sister Suzie (and ya know, Zax's longtime girlfriend) died, he was a mess. Along with that and a bunch of other trauma, Lenox turned into someone even he didn't recognize, but the only time he was able to find some peace was when he was with Georgia, the cousin (but more like sister) of two of his best friends. For two years they were a friends with benefits situation (heavy on the benefits) and when Georgia tells Lenox that she's in love with him, it serves him as a painful wakeup call. He may not deserve G now, but he knows he wants to in the future. Six years pass, and after breaking her heart, these two have never been face to face again, until Georgia asks him the favor of all favors-- she needs him to marry her so she can gain control of her recently deceased fathers company, all the while protecting her from her ex and his father. And even though he knows this is a bad idea, he can't deny that he owes her.. even if this may end up breaking both of them in the process.

Georgia is everything you want in your leading lady -- she's kick ass, beautiful inside and out, confident, hilarious, but still has such vulnerability to her that you can't help but connect to her immediately. You could feel her heartbreak through the pages when Lenox walked away from her, and you can still feel her heartbreak as well as her anger and resentment that she needs a favor from the one man she swore she would never let back into her life. And though she does try to set real boundaries with Lenox so that they both understand this marriage is fake, G keeps remembering just why she fell in love with this captivating man in the first place, and how he's so different than he was before. As her walls start to tumble down and Lenox opens up to his own demons and the things he's done to rectify sins that weren't his own, they just can't hold back anymore, and their relationship is just beautiful! I mean Lenox is so possessive and swoony at the same time, and is someone still so open and soft with her, and the *way* he communicates his feelings to her -- men need to take note. Seriously his grovel is so epic. Plus there's a total "Notebook" moment -- IYKYK--that just had me swooning for him even more.

And let's talk about the heat! Guys, I have read a LOT of romance/erotica, but I have never read a scene where the H fucks his girl with the tip of his belt and it was just 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵. Plus his pierced 🍆? I DIE.

I could literally go on and on about this couple, but all you need to know is that J is in incredible writer and this is her best work to date. I can't wait for you all to witness the magic of Georgia and Lenox!

I already was somewhat skeptical when I read the teaser and I could finally say that this has been my least favorite of the bunch.

The main things that I hated about this is that he needed to do more groveling and she needed to make him sweat more than she did and not give herself that easily. But that doesn't happen unfortunately she's a puppy to him and everything related to him is her damn Kryptonite so even though he hurts her ... he literally makes her feel like she just was a f*** toy and that was it and say he didn't felt anything for her... and let me remind you that was 6 YEARS! 6 years without acknowledging their existence and you're going to tell me like she so easily jumps on bed with him??? girl come on !!! grow some balls and some self respect!!!

That's why second chances it's my least favorite trope because the majority of times it happens what happened in this book: they don't fully take the time for a realistic redemption and they just get on with it instantly and it's like there are two separate things between what she thinks and what she finally does.

I would have much preferred if they left the sexualness later on and not just right away. i wanted more badass energy from Georgia and sweating from when Lenox. but no it just happens at the wedding night and it's Georgia who practically jumps on him... so you totally forgotten what he did to you?? really?? georgia lacks of self esteem and is highly dependent of Lenox which is toxic as f***. She portrays herself as a strong character but at the end of the day she does what Lenox wants. She's isn't strong enough to not be persuaded by his physical traits. I would say at first, even though they start having sex, she is still adamant in letting him in to her heart again but still you know that sex will eventually lead to that, that's what happened before so why repeat the same mistakes? Dunno . 🤦🏼‍♀️

Also one thing that didn't make sense to me is that he points out many times that he always wanted her and the reason of why he left her and made her believe that he didn't love her back then was because he didn't felt worthy of her and he felt he had a lot of trauma so he believed he needed to heal that before pursuing her. The" if you love her let her go" but in the most stupid wrong way possible..... so he basically starts doing good deeds and buys a whole town gives people work he builds the house that she dreamed of by hacking her computer but still he doesn't pursued her or tries to get in contact with her, he basically leaves when she arrives to a reunion to maintain their distance but that falls apart when she comes knocking on his door. She asks him an arrange marriage because she's in trouble and even in that moment . My question is if he already did all the other things because of wanting her like why still he was feeling that he wasn't worthy of her? Or still maintained his distance with her?? That is why I felt so confused because there he was saying all the things he did throughout the years but then once they reunite his thoughts were the same ones as when he leaves her. Like dude I already thought that you were past that?? His a hot and cold 24/7

So yeah this book got me hella confused I couldn't quite understand each of the characters actions I'm so sorry but it was 6 years 6 f****** years he left her. And lets not forget he lefts her thinking that she was a piece of meat to him. Horrible horrible human being.

I'm a crazy person because of wanting more groveling ? no. Why? because he really screwed up and even though he had conflicting issues of the past it's still isn't justification of why he did what he did to her. he was completely conscious of his actions he completely knew he screwed up he even goes to Georgias cousins to say what he did like easy peasy and he still did go through with it .he never went to get her and give her a proper explanation of his actions. He left her and her cousin's forgives him just like Georgia right away. Again i cannot seem to comprehend the quick forgiving, the not demanding to go and apologize to Georgia or something its like they also let him get away with it in a way...

I cant be understanding with this types of characters without any actual remorse and grovel and that amount of excuses. And i also hate pathetic puppy female characters with no self respect whatsoever.

So yeah im sad to say this because i love generally what J writes but this wasn't a good one for me.

I just wish I hadn't gone into this blindly because, oh boy, we've got some serious issues here. Let's dive into the heroine of this pathetic book – what a lame and spineless character with zero backbone and integrity.

I don't care how handsome or damaged the hero is, as described by the heroine. Begging a guy who not only broke her heart but used her for pleasure in a toxic relationship? Seriously, it's the worst. What's even more infuriating is she doesn't make him grovel for what he did; she lets him walk all over her, and she's still lusting over him. Reading this just makes me mad and lose brain cells.

She's the epitome of a woman with no shame. I can't stand how she acts like she won't fall in love after initiating their wedding plan, yet she's working so hard to seduce and tempt the hero on their wedding night – ugh, what a frustrating character.

And then there's the part where she keeps mentioning how he broke her heart and humiliated her. After six years, she comes back to him, begging him to marry her to inherit her father's wealth. She could've asked another guy and made the hero jealous, but no, this stupid woman chose him. 🤮🤮🤮

Nope, I won't be continuing this garbage, so only 1 pitiful star otherwise it should be no star at all.Sorry, not sorry.

Absolutely loved it!

Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trope: grumpy/sunshine; second chance
Angst: 😱😱😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Truly loved this story! It was very well written, moved quickly, and had tons of laugh out loud moments that were plain funny, as opposed to forced. Its funny, I love second chance stories, but typically can't stand the "I had to break your heart because I'm so broken" trope that goes with it so frequently. Irresistibly Dangerous had that, but his reasons definitely came across as more realistically believable 🤷🏻‍♀️. Loved both MCs. She had a happy feistiness that made her really endearing and he was the perfect stoic, grump complement. They had a ton of chemistry and their smexy times were 🔥🔥🔥. Sad to see this series conclude, but excited to sed where Julie takes us next!

OMG I love this series so much. Lenox’s story was the perfect ending to the series. This was such a beautiful, well written second chance romance.

Lenox blamed himself after his twin sister Suzie passed away. He was so broken that he started a secret relationship with Georgia which ends badly and breaks her heart.

A few years later, Lenox comes home to find Georgia sitting in his living room. She comes to Lenox for help and course he will do anything for her. I absolutely love them together their chemistry was top notch and he does everything to make it up to her.

Tropes in this book…
🌹Grumpy, tattooed and pierced hacker
🌹Feisty, sunshine heiress and midwife
🌹Marriage of convenience
🌹Forced Proximity
🌹Enemies-to-lovers
🌹Second chance
🌹Forbidden, secret relationship
🌹He falls first and falls HARD

ARC BOOK REVIEW

I can't describe how much I loved reading this book. From start to finish, it ws utterly amazing, and I am so glad I got the opportunity to ARC read this book. And I will be 100% reading more books from this author as their writing style just flowed so well and I was instantly hooked, and I want to know how all of the other characters in the series ended up together!!

Georgia and Lenox had a fling 6 years prior and ended on pretty bad terms. Now, many years later, Georgia is back and in desperate need for a husband so that she can keep hold of her father's company after he dies and puts in his will that she must be married. Georgia decides to turn back to the man that destroyed her heart all those years ago and ask for help, which, after some thinking he agrees.

I must say Lenox is just the manuscript for a book boyfriend, a tatted hacker who wears glasses and looks like Thor and agrees to be your fake husband. Absolutely, yes.

Their relationship had so many ups and downs in the past, but this arrangement really turned everything around for them, and secretly, I think Lenox wanted this all along. Although he broke Georgia's heart, he took the time to make himself into a better man who actually deserved her love, and what he does for her just made me love him more than ever.

Irresistibly Dangerous was such a fun book to read and definitely kept me on my toes, and I didn't see half the things that happened come their way. It was also such a spicy book, I love love loved it. I will say one of my favourite moments is the fact that Georgia is a midwife and then she helps out a new friend who works at Lenox's tattoo parlor, the scene was utter perfection and melted my heart.

The book was perfectly written, and I could not put it down at all. Anyone who reads this book is sure to love it just as I did. The side characters were just amazing and really solidified how good the book was. The plot for this book was amazing, and nothing like I have read before.

Loved every second of this. It had suspense, intrigue, and an amazing second chance meets fake marriage (that turns real) romance.

Lenox has been the silent friend the entire series, we know next to nothing about him and that’s by design. As the twin brother to Susie, he’s got so much guilt and sadness even this much time since her death. When he met Georgia she was the one bright spot in an otherwise grey world. He couldn’t stay away, but he also couldn’t be with her when he wasn’t in a good headspace. When they parted he hurt her and she’s never forgiven him.

Now, she needs a husband to gain control of her family’s company and he makes the most sensible candidate. Georgia is a STRONG FMC. Shes not trying to be brave, she is brave. She believes in herself enough that she isn’t looking for outside validation. With Lenox, she’s finally able to share the emotional and mental load that comes with feeling like you need to be “on” all the time. They really were a perfect pair.

The spice!? Holy moly. It was good, it was frequent, and it did not disappoint.

The teaser for the new series had me screaming!

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have been WAITING and I mean ANXIOUSLY waiting for Lenox’s story still we met him in Aurelia and Jax’s story in book 1. And J. Saman did not disappoint us one bit! Up until this point Callan and Layla were my favorite couple of this series, but now I am rethinking everything!

Tropes:

💍Marriage of convenience
💍Second chance
💍Best friend’s cousin
💍Grumpy x sunshine
💍Enemies to lovers
💍Tattooed and pierced MMC
💍Feisty FMC
💍Secret relationship
💍ALL THE FEELS

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Angst level: 💔💔

After Lenox’s sister unexpectedly passed away eight years ago, he entered a casual hookup situation with Georgia that lasted two years. And when Georgia expressed real feelings for him, Lenox completely shut it down and left Georgia.

Now here we are six years later, and Georgia needs Lenox to be her fake husband so that she can get away from her ex-fiancé. Lenox is the absolute last person that she wants to ask, but the only person that she can.

The two of these can pull jabs back and forth so callously, but you can just feel deep down that they still have these deep rotted feelings for each other.

We go on a beautiful and heartbreaking journey with them to find their happily ever after. So many truths come to light and it just made me fall in love with these characters so much more!

It’s always the quiet reclusive characters that are the closeted freaks in the sheets and Lenox was no exception. Man the MOUTH on this man!!

I am so sad to be leaving this world, however, we got a glimpse into the next series and OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Lenox and Georgia! 😍

- Opposites attract
- Second chance
- Funny banter
- Possessive MMC
- Midwife FMC


I have been eagerly awaiting Lenox's book since the first! And J. Saman didn't disappoint!! This book was such an incredible way to end this series. It was prefect.

Lenox and Georgia were so sweet together. Each battling their own hurt in different ways. Lenox isolated himself and Georgia stayed busy pouring herself into her work surround by the things she loves.

The way Lenox loved Georgia!!!

"She’s mine. My wife, my lover, my future, and my past. No more dancing around this, no more fighting—at least not without the good kind of making-up—and no more pretending it’s not as real as it gets."

“I can’t breathe when I’m not near you. You have my heart, Georgia. I’m yours. I’ve always been yours. I will always be yours. You are my favorite everything, and I can’t live without you anymore. But more than that, you’re my wife, and I have no plans to ever let you change that.”

Lenox was so possessive of Georgia! 🔥

"I swear this man is giving me hot flashes with his I’m possessive and I’ll keep you safe stuff."

I loved how grumpy Lenox was.

“Comfort him, Lenox. Get him a drink or give him a pep talk or do whatever it is guys do.”
“I’ve never in my life given anyone a pep talk.”

This truly was the best way to end such a good series! Each one of these characters were so perfect. I absolutely loved this series!

“Good. Because now it’s tattoo time. Ink me, baby, because we’re forever. Till death do us part.”

Lenox Moore has officially stolen the spotlight of the Irresistibly Yours series. What a phenomenal way to end it.

If you’ve read this series, you know that Lenox is “the quiet one” aka he rarely speaks, and every time he does everyone is shocked 🤣 SO it was truly amazing to finally get inside his head. Lenox is the epitome of a broken, traumatized hero, but he has worked for the past six years to put himself back together again & become a man deserving of Georgia.

Georgia…a sassy, smart, beautiful girl who has been thoroughly screwed over by her ex and his dad, in so many awful ways. The trauma she went through was truly on another level, but she was so strong and fierce, as Julie’s FMCs always are, which I love. Georgia had her heart broken by Lenox six years ago, but he’s the only one that can help her now, and she’s determined to get through this arrangement with no feelings involved.

Listen, these two are EVERYTHING. This book is incredible. It has all the feels and all the love but also *all* the spice & deliciousness. The friend group in here is top tier, especially now that all the guys have been paired off with equally amazing women. I just love this entire series & I’m so sad that it’s over (but I’m VERY excited about what’s coming next 👀)!

This was my favorite one of the series. I loved the mystery and intrigue behind her father's passing, why she was given the company and what was going on with her ex. It was loads of fun for me. And the connection between Georgie and Lenox was top notch. It was so clear to me how much he loved her but felt that he wasn't deserving. I loved how she learned bits and pieces about him to see him in a new light to fall for him all over again. I loved how Lenox knew when to give her space to process but then always came back with "my wife" and wouldn't let her walk away again. This was the perfect couple and story to end this series on. Love love love.

Oh my goodness I think I am in love with Lenox Moore.

This was literally the most perfect ending to the series. Georgia and Lenox are literally everything.

One night Georgia shows up to Lenox's house after it being two years since he absolutely shattered her heart. They were once lovers but now....not so much. However, she needs to cash in on what he owes her. She needs him to marry her.
They head off to Vegas to get hitched but then chaos stars erupting and Lenox finally starts to realize why she needed his help to begin with. There has been some sketchy things happening in Georgia's life and he is determined to find out, which is quite literally his job as an amazing computer hacker. He also is determined to do what he can to keep her safe...and keep her around.

the way my jaw was on the floor most of this book whether is be from the plot twists, Lenox's mouth, or the secrets he has been holding in for her. I'm obsessed.

Tropes:
-fake marriage
-second chance
-romantic suspense
-morally grey mmc (ish)
-he gets a tattoo in honor of her
-touch her and die

5/5 stars
3/5 spice

5* Second Chance Love Stars

I have been waiting anxiously for Lennox’s story and it did not disappoint! He was everything I hoped him to be and more! This might just be my favorite couple in the series;)

When Georgia asks Lennox, out of the blue, to be her fake husband so she can get her inheritance, he is hesitant at first because of their history of dating and then it ending in a bad breakup when Georgia professed her love to him. Lennox is not one to commit let alone fall in love.

When Lennox agrees to this arrangement old feelings are reignited and the attraction between them undeniable. The spice and chemistry between these two were off the charts sexy. I enjoyed how the feisty and gorgeous Georgia managed to break down the walls of Lennox’s heart and show him what it is to be loved and to take a chance on love.

I loved this second chance love story. What a great end to a very enjoyable series. I shall miss these characters deeply.

Irresistibly Dangerous by J Saman is dangerous for your heart. This second chance fake marriage forbidden romance just made my heart ache and bleed and swoon. J Saman can draw out the most intense and raw feels through her powerful writing. This was no exception. Falling hard and fast for sweet and sunshine-y Georgia with her hidden pain was so easy. And getting obsessed with our brooding broken alpha hero was even easier. It was all about soul wrecking all consuming angsty feels with sizzling hot chemistry.


Georgia has recently lost her father and their family company Monroe Security will go out of her hand if she doesn't get married soon. Her last resort is someone she really doesn't want to ask for help. The ex rockstar with a dying heart who broke her heart beyond recognition all those years ago. But Lenox is someone she can trust. He also has a reputation as an elite hacker and can help her to solve the problem of her stalker ex fiance and his persistent father. Lenox knows he shouldn't do it but the truth is..he has never stopped loving her.

Lennox has so many facets and I find each one so fascinating! He definitely has some monsters chasing him since his sister's death and the ruin of his family. For a period of time, he was so lost and hurt that he almost didn't survive. That's when Georgia helped him. With her body and soul, she saved Lenox. But Lenox thought she deserves someone whole..someone better. Not someone so toxic and messed up and dark. He also knew that Georgia is off limits as warned by her cousins aka his brothers from the band.Why are our alpha heroes so stupid sometimes? But don't worry, breaking her heart was the wake up call Lenox needed. And he more than made up for his mistakes. Georgia came to him in a vulnerable state. She promised herself that she wouldn't fall in love again. But her heart said something else. Being so close to him, seeing his protective possessive sides, understanding his pain, realizing why he broke her heart..she didn't stand a chance against him. It's a delicious slow burn. With so many push and pulls. The chemistry was burning slowly till it takes the intensity of a thousand suns. There was a lot of unresolved emotions and heartbreak and they had to battle at every step. Lenox is just so intense omg. He is drop dead gorgeous but most sexy thing about him is the way he loves Georgia with everything he has. To the world, he is a grumpy recluse with secrets but to Georgia, he is open about the wounds in his heart. This story is so high on angst. It felt like the author is squeezing my poor heart in her palm. All the ache. All the swoon. All the crushing feels. Irresistibly Dangerous is a must read of 2024.

Ps meeting the other characters from the past books was so awesome

‘All the ways she’s irresistibly dangerous to me are all the reasons I need to say no’

This book was absolutely fantastic. I know I said the last was possibly my new favourite J Saman but I think Georgia and Lennox might give Asher and Wynter a run for their money!

I was hooked from the first chapter, despite always being a bit intrigued by Lennox I’d never been desperate for his book to be honest. He frustrated me a few times but I understood why he behaved how he did and absolutely loved him. He’s a man of few words but when he does speak it’s everything.

Lennox has history with Zax and Grey’s cousin Georgia. It didn’t end well. Now 6 years later she’s in danger and needs his help which includes getting married.
I really enjoyed how Julie wove the suspense element throughout the story, and how she showed Lennox and Georgia’s relationship develop and deepen. Their love for each other was beautiful and raw. He is so protective of her, but she can hold her own too!

I couldn’t put this book down and would highly recommend it.

Huge thank you to the author and Valentine PR for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I’m not the hero of her story. It’s not a title I’m deserving of. I’m not sure I’m even worthy of being her dark knight. But God, does she make me want to change that.

THIS is the book you want to read if you’re looking for something to tug on your heartstrings and serve up a sweet HEA. It’s a case of the right person at the wrong time, a second chance with the love of your life when forced together in a fake marriage. I loved the angst, the pain, the pining, and the eventual reigniting of love.

The MMC, Lenox, was a tortured soul, but his gruff exterior hid a heart that was all-in for Georgia. He just needed to get over himself and realize that he did deserve her love. He had served his penance. When he fell, he fell hard. His love language was acts of service, yet he did find his voice to tell Georgia how much she meant to him and beg for forgiveness.

Georgia was the strong FMC I always hope for when opening a new book. There was no instant forgiveness. She only opened her heart when Lenox proved himself, healing her shattered heart.

This book is medium/fast-burn and spicy, including a bit of scorching hate sex.

An interconnected standalone, Irresistibly Dangerous ends in a HEA. Characters from previous books in the Irresistibly Yours series appear, but you need not have read their stories to enjoy this one.

Tropes/Features: second chance, forced proximity, fake marriage, forbidden/secret romance (best friends’ cousin), angst and pining, love-to-hate-to-love, enemies-to-lovers, bad boy antihero, good girl FMC, he falls first, redemption, no third act breakup, pierced peen

While Irresistibly Dangerous was my first J. Saman book it definitely will not be my last!
Irresistibly Dangerous is the final installment in the Irresistibly Yours series. While the world and characters carry over from previous books in the series, you can read this as a standalone.
This was the first book I read in the series and was in no way confused at any point in the story. I enjoyed this one so much I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. J. Saman does a terrific job making sure you have all the relevant background on characters and the world so you can solely focus on the story playing out.

In Irresistibly Dangerous that story is a second chance at romance through a marriage of convenience for Georgia and Lenox. I absolutely loved their love story because the author let us see the struggles of opening to a past romantic partner who has previously broken your heart. Georgia is a smart, strong heroine who is trying to not get hurt again and Lenox is a complex hero who is grappling with not only his second chance with Georgia but the circumstances and feelings that made everything go off the rails the first time they were together. I truly enjoyed watching both of them come to terms both with their feelings and with each other.
I loved that Georgia while not afraid to ask Lenox for help with the situation she found herself in, in no way wanted him to save her. She had no issue fighting for herself and her happiness and was a great example of strong fmc. I also appreciated that Lenox while wanting to protect Georgia also supported her in having a life for herself and a life she truly wanted at that.
Another great things about this book was there was a perfect ratio of an interesting plot that kept me turning the page and hot and spicy moments that also kept me glued to the page. I also loved all of the pop culture references.

If you’re looking for a fast pace read that’s spicy and fun with a swoon worthy antihero and a quite literally kickass heroine look no further and this book to your tbr!

A big thank you to Valentine PR for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The sweeter the hello, the harder the goodbye. This goodbye is incredibly hard because this series has been one of the best I’ve ever read. Lenox and Georgia's story is the cherry on top of the romantic-suspense sundae and everything you love in an exceptional romance read.

They say that love and hate are two sides of the same coin. This certainly describes Lenox and Georgia, with the coin currently flipped to the hate side. Except Georgia needs help, and Lenox is the only one who can help her. She'll just have to set aside the fact that he ruthlessly broke her heart and walked away without a backward glance. Don’t judge him too harshly though, until you get a glimpse into his heart.

I’ve been dying for Lenox’s story since the beginning of this series. He’s a quiet, broody, solitary guy with a close-knit group of friends, a tattoo business, and extraordinary hacker skills he only uses for good. Mostly. Georgia is his equal in every way and absolutely perfect for him.

I love the growth of these two characters as they navigate their road to forever. Saman adds an element of danger, intrigue, and suspense to this steamy romance, giving us a wild, emotional, exciting ride we won’t soon forget. Smexy, exhilarating, and full of heart, this will be one of your top romance reads this year!

Wow. What a way to end a series! I absolutely loved this. I had been patiently waiting for Lenox’s story and it was better than anything I had thought. As, always it was so nice to read about everyone else, and see how they played into Lenox and Georgia’s story as well. Georgia is fierce and kind and doesn’t take any crap, and I loved that about her. Lenox has always been a bit of a mystery, he protects his people fiercely, but I was super happy we finally got a deeper look into him. Lenox and Georgia have history, and it’s a little heartbreaking. So, when she shows up to ask him for his help and a favor, not only is he shocked she does, but he’s shocked he says yes. Their chemistry and tension is still so very clear, whether they will admit that to themselves or not. One thing for certain though is that Lenox will do everything he can to keep Georgia safe, always. I could go on and on about this book, but I don’t want to spoil it. It’s for sure a must read and one of my top reads this year without question.

Obsessed doesn’t even begin to cover what Lenox Moore did to my brain and soul. He’s officially my new favorite book boyfriend I think. I absolutely devoured this book. I could not put it down. I kept sneaking pages at work, at home, waiting in line at the coffee shop. The story of Lennox and Georgia starts with a fake marriage and builds from there. Their relationship is so push and pull based on their history together, and when they finally come together it is an explosion of the best kind. And what is it about a hot tattooed nerd who knows how to hack shit? I think this is my new favorite microtrope.
This book can also be read without reading the others in the series, though there are mentions of the other characters in this book, I didn’t need to read them to understand this story.
I will absolutely recommend this book to anyone who needs a good fake marriage story, or anyone who wants a read that will keep them hooked for an entire day of reading.
Thank you to Valentine PR for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wow, what a thrilling story this is!!! I could not get enough of these two. My favourite thing about this book has to be the heroine, because she really is. I loved how she accepted protection from the hero, but also was like, I can save myself, I'm my own hero. And what a dreamy hero he was, I loved his growth as a character. The pacing was great, too, since there is a lot of action and angst that keeps you turning the page. Great end to this series, I can't wait to read more from this world.

I loved irresistibly dangerous! Lenox has always been the silent enigma so I was thirsting for his book. This book had so much mystery along with the steamy second chance romance. Lenox is rumough around the edges but always had feelings for Georiga even when he wasn't in a place to deserve her love. I loved that she unknowingly was a spark that helped him survive and rise above tragedy. Georgia is definitely someone that has a vulnerable heart but strong exterior. Her dedication to protecting her dad's business by marrying Lenox to satisfy the will was extremely admirable. I could help but like Georgia and her constant bravery in various ways. This couple brought plenty of chemistry but also a deep emotional connection that defied everything. I really don't have any complaints about this series and am salivating at the glimpse of the next one!

Irresistible

Lenox and Georgia’s story was a quick read.

Lenox was a man broken by circumstances that happened with his sister and father. His involvement with Georgia went in for two years until he had an abrupt wake up call. He didn’t feel that he had anything to offer her and that he wasn’t good enough for her.

Georgia had her heart broken by Lenox, but he was the one she went to when she needed help. Being in close proximity to him was like putting a match to tinder.

Lenox was an intriguing character. That wake up call brought about changes in his life. Georgia was a strong female character and I loved how she kicked it with her martial arts training. She didn’t back down from going after what she wanted, but she didn’t dive right in either.

This was a nice wrap up to the series and I look forward to seeing these characters make appearances in the new series.

"There is no getting over him. There is only living with the pain of never being able to truly have him. Like a chronic condition."


Finally!! The book we're all waiting in dire anticipation!

Ever since book 1, I was already intrigued about Lenox... the silent, broody type of group.

I think these two were the most relatable to me in the group in terms of life experience—grief. One was dealing with the loss of a sister and one was dealing with the loss of a parent... D€ath is an inevitable part of life but it still does not make it easy for those who were left behind.

Anyway...

The pacing and the storyline was good. The characters were awesome...

This book has it all—action, drama, comedy... you name it.

It's swoon-worthy, s€xy and heartwarming all rolled into one!

I definitely recommend!

Wow. This book was so good.

It is absolutely hot and yes, irresistibly dangerous.

Lenox and Georgia had a secret thing going 6 years earlier, to which Lenox walked away, leaving Georgia heartbroken.

Georgia is back asking Lenox to fake marry her while knowing neither one of them can get to close again, but being so close to one another is a temptation that is so strong is a struggle to fight it.

Georgia needs Lenox's help, and he is there for her. He is protective and strong and incredibly sweet. Omg, is he! My heart skipped a beat a time or two. Georgia is sassy, fun, and feisty as well. These two were literally perfect. I enjoyed this book so much.

"Irresistibly Dangerous" by J Saman, Book Five in the "Irresistibly Yours" series, deserves every bit of its five-star rating! From the captivating beginning to the satisfying end, this book is an absolute gem, and I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to read an advance copy.

Focusing on Lenox's story, this installment was my favorite in the series. The narrative flawlessly unfolds Lenox's journey, filled with heartbreak, redemption, and a second chance at love. The author's writing style is incredibly engaging, seamlessly drawing readers into the characters' lives.

Lenox's complex character, haunted by past mistakes and brokenness, adds depth to the story. The second-chance romance with Georgia Monroe is beautifully crafted, tugging at the heartstrings. Their chemistry is palpable, and the commitment to making amends adds a layer of authenticity to their relationship.

The plot is expertly woven, keeping readers on their toes with unexpected twists and turns. The spice in the romance is tastefully done, adding an extra layer of excitement. One particularly memorable moment involves Georgia, a midwife, extending her help to a new friend at Lenox's tattoo parlor – a scene that is both heartwarming and perfect.

The supporting characters from the series, each with their own stories, enhance the overall reading experience. The well-crafted plot and the author's unique storytelling set this book apart, offering a refreshing take on the genre.

"Irresistibly Dangerous" is not just a romance; it's a beautifully written, perfectly paced novel that is among the best in the genre. Anyone picking up this book is in for a treat, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fans of second-chance romances and those who appreciate well-developed characters and plots. I can't wait to explore more works by this talented author!

I received an advance listening copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.

What a fantastic story for Georgia and Lenox!!

They are definitely my favorite couple. They have to fight for what they want from the very beginning. To see Georgia rediscover herself, her strength, and her love for Lenox was awesome to watch. From the first time she sweeps him off his feet, literally, was the best. And we wouldn’t have this wonderful story without all of the heart ache that Lenox has gone through.

I loved this story and can’t wait to see what we get next. This is definitely a book that I would highly recommend.

I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to receive an ARC of irresistibly dangerous, and it didn’t disappoint.

The chemistry between Lenox and Georgia was amazing and so genuine, such a great second chance romance. The steam and spice in this book is next level 4🌶️/5.

The writing was good and flowed beautifully and the plot flowed nicely. There was a little suspense throughout which kept you on edge.

Overall another great story by J. Saman
