Not worth reading
I wanted a light romance after watching Narcos on TV. However, this book has virtually no story. There is romance and a lot of sex which is fine as long as there is a good story to go along with it. However, this book lacks any substance at all.

Written in the first person
I don't care for books with a narrative written in the first person. It's a personal preference, but I think that potential readers should be warned in advance. The first person narrative should be reserved for autobiographies and similar types of books. The narrative in this book shifts back and forth between first and third person with such frequency it's uncomfortable and a bit confusing - particularly because the reader doesn't even know who the "I" is at the start .Not my cup of tea.

Boring
Started out interesting then the author decided to call into the sex pit. Pages and pages of sex. I skipped over most of this book! So fed up with this style of writing. Discussing! The Maggie character and the family angle was interesting and could have developed into an interesting story but the author actually ruined the book with the sex scenes.

Fabulously sexy collision between Landon and Maddie. Landon has focused on work for several years following a painful loss. He’s successful but when he finally takes a much-needed vacation, he realizes that he misses spending time with his family. He also meets Maddie, his sister’s landscape architect. Maddie is committed to building beautiful spaces and is working very hard to grow her business while helping her sister pay for school.

I usually like reading this authors books but this one was extremely boring to me and for some reason I did not like the characters at all. Authors books are getting very repetitive. There are still more siblings I'm sure she is going to write about and I think at this point I need to pass. Sorry.

Humorous Love Story, Tight Knit Family
I have fallen in love with Layla Hagen's Bennett Family series, and the first installment of the Connor family series appears like it will also be one of my favorites. Landon Connor had his heart shattered four years ago and feels like he can never love again. Maddie Jennings ended her last relationship on a bitter note and has no desire to get involved with the opposite sex any time soon. But when Landon and Maddie meet, the tension is palpable and the chemistry is sizzling! Filled with nosy sibling antics and laugh out loud scenarios, this is another of my favorite reads to add to my list!

Amazing Start for a New Series
A brand new series by Layla has once again captured my heart! Landon is need of a vacation so he goes to LA to spend time with his family, and in the middle of his family is Maddie Jennings. Maddie is working on his sister’s garden and hello the sparks fly! I love the rain scene and how she’s so stubborn about saving parts of the garden when there is literally a storm on her head. She’s feisty and stubborn and definitely a match for Landon too.The one thing that I love about Layla’s writing is that she brings out the best in the family area. She makes me wish my family was the same. I love their connection and I love their closeness with each other.Landon and Maddie are so perfectly matched and I loved reading their journey. Another amazing start to a brand new series!4 stars

Dreary not dreamy!
I have read and enjoyed many of Layla's books and when I saw this 1st book in the series free on Kindle unlimited I jumped at the chance!!!!My personal opinion is it was dreary and boring and found myself skipping through pages.The characters had little dimension or personality, there was no storyline really .......I almost bought the other books in the series for £17.00 Before I read the first one. I will not read the rest but look forward to future publishing's from this author.

First of the Connor clan
I loved the Bennett family and I’m going to love the Connor family just as much. Landon is the perfect book boyfriend he is kind sexy charming did I mention sexy. Maddie is such a kind gentle person you can’t help fall in love with her and I love her sister Grace they have a great relationship. Loved that Layla brought Sebastian and Ava into the story. Layla Hagen is one of my favourite authors I would give this book more then 5 stars if I could and recommend it to be read.
