His Unlikely Lover (Unwanted)

I enjoyed this book, about Gabe and Bobbi, although Gabe behaves like a total jerk towards Bobbi for about half the book. They have been the best of friends since childhood, and she has loved him most of her life. At a party she gets drunk and kisses him, which startles him, and makes him want to turn their relationship into friends with benefits, but very much in secret, no-one must know because the scruffy car mechanic does not fit the image of girlfriend to a CEO. She goes along with it because she thinks it will be the only way she can get close to him, but it makes her terribly unhappy.Their emotions are extremely well written, and you are told enough about their backgrounds to understand why both of them act as they do. This is a well thought out book, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the other two books in the series (so far) because Bobbi was not displayed as a strong woman, whereas she must be, having set up a business as a car mechanic in spite of the opposition of her father and three strong-willed brothers, but I can understand why the author chose to write it this way. The characters for the most part do seem very real.

This,series gets better and better - just hope there will be more instalments.Bobbie is a quirky heroine - tomboy secretly in love with her best friend.Gabe sees Bobbie as a kid sister, until a drunken kiss at a party makes him realise she's all grown up and he wants her in his bed.Their friends with benefits relationship leads them both into deeper waters than they could ever have imagined.The author has written another sexy winning romance here and her writing seems to get better and better.Can't wait to read her next novel.

Another amazing story from Natasha Anders! Another rollercoaster of emotions with this one! I find myself yelling at Gabe for been a blind idiot! How hurtful for Bobbie to accept the arrangement Gave was offering her while all the while she was in love with him. The fighting scene in front of the their friends was epic. Bobbie finally realised she did deserved better than that and was prepared to throw him out of her life to find better. Highly recommend it

Frustrated, too many blank pages making the plot hard to follow and I have just got to Ch 6!Story line is ok for a quick read but blank pages are spoiling it for me. The other books are all 5s but I won't rate this one.

I've read about five now and everyone enchanted me. They were never long enough, never less than riveting, always satisfying. I surely hope you carry on writing these relationship dilemma books because of am becoming addicted!

What a lovely ending to a lovely romantic story. Gabriel and Roberta were such good friends for so long it came as a shock to Gabe to be given a drunken kiss from his best friend, therefore changing the dynamics of their friendship. It was wonderful to see the change it brought to their lives.

It was a good read and the 3rd book in the series. Cant wait to read more books by this author

A very good book

I have been waiting anxiously for this book after falling in love with the authors first two, and I was not disappointed. Ms Anders has a way of drawing you into the storey and making you feel the characters emotions.The storey was lovely, I think it would be hard to go from a strictly friend relationship to something more when you have grown up together and know all there is to know about the other person. So of course they took each other for granted a bit, they both had some growing up and some changing to do and I loved how Ms Anders showed it happen.As with all her books it is a well written read- and the sex was hot!Cant wait for her next book!!

Good read for the weekend if you're looking for a light read.Does stretch a bit in the some parts but bearably so.

On a rainy sunday this one is a winner!sweet predictable and with a happy end.just the way we want it.

I thoroughly enjoyed His Unlikely Lover from beginning to end.Characters from previous books were an added bonus.Absolutely a must read book.

I love the romances if Natasha Anders. This one does not have the torture and angst of the other two in the series, so I kind of worried if it would work. It does, wonderfully. I auto-buy whatever she writes.The bit more breadth and emotional space given to the couples, the time taken to truly see the bond stabilizing / growing after the "break-through" moment is solo good. You really get to enjoy the couples connection and happiness. Traditional harlequin presents just feel cut-off or rushed a bit, in comparison.Wow!

Enjoyed

3.75 starsThis is a friends-to-lovers romance.Possible Spoilers:I wanted to love it but at times I was so frustrated with both Bobbi and Gabe's attitudes as well as actions. I did not believe Gabe's "let's a have secret hook-up" idea for one minute, he was basically embarrassed of Bobbi and her appearance. As for Bobbi, how old is she to be acting like a child about wearing appropriate clothing and a bra. If you don't like people staring or commenting on the ladies wear a bra. I wanted to hate Gabe, but I did feel he had a point, Bobbi was in love with him for years and he just realized his feelings for her and she wanted an instant declaration of love. Now don't get it mistaken Gabe was too focus on what his woman should act as well as look like and he always found Bobbi lacking.I just felt they both acted childish and selfish, but at least they matured somewhat enough by the end. I would love to know what happens Chase and if Max will ever find his special lady.

Gabe and Bobbi's story had me feeling a variety of emotions. For about two thirds of the book, I did not like Gabe too much. He was a great friend, but some of the things he would say to Bobbi had me seeing red. I would have loved to smack him upside the head to knock some sense into him, if he was real. I enjoyed Bobbi's character and wanted her to get what she needed. I could relate to her, not being overly feminine, or knowing how to be dressy. But I did enjoy the end and how Gabe made his feelings clear and known.

Not as enchanting or satisfying as the previous two books. It lacks something that I just can't place my finger on. While I read and reviewed The Unwanted Wife in a single night, this took me several days to plod through. Game is unlikable instead of sexy, a jerk who puts his friend in a crappy position.I wanted to like Bobbi but she felt like a doormat.The stakes were higher with the other novels, but here, there is absolutely no reason for Gabe to mistreat her, not even a misunderstanding.

This was such a delightful story with lots of wonderful characters. I enjoyed this story from the very first page, it was exceptional. The characters were written with lots of love and romance throughout their story and the romance sizzles between them. I enjoyed the pace of this book and loved that the author included an epilogue at the end to tie up the story.Definitely a five-star rating for this book.

This is the 3rd book in the series. .....I love this series! Gabe annoyed me most of the time but as the saying goes you don't know what you got till its gone and he learned that the hard way! When Bobbi got hurt and Gabe thought she was going to die was when he got his head out of his arse and did the right thing! It's a beautiful story with a great ending and I just keep hoping there's more to come! Thank you for letting us visit with Sandro and Theresa.... <3

My favorite of Natasha’s A. books .I liked heroine. The plot was good even if it seems hard to buy that the billionaire‘s daughter works as a mechanic. I liked “rigid “ and a little self righteous Gabe in the end.The road to happy end was bumpy and interesting . In the beginning he acted a bit like a jerk but redeemed himself.

I liked Natasha Anders' other two previous books over much. I waited a while to read this book, her third, because the description just didn't grip me. Now that I have actually read the book, I still didn't love it the same as The Unwanted Wife or A Husband's Regret.I enjoyed it, it was cute, but it just lacked the angst and emotion that I've enjoyed previously from her. It was just mediocre - not terrible but not excellent. The writing was solid, but the story overall fell short for me.

This book wasn't great, it wasn't bad, it was just o.k. I was disappointed with the story since I really loved The Unwanted Wife and The Regretful Husband.I felt like Gabe was basically just an ass on repeat. And he never stopped being an ass but Bobbi kept accepting it again and again. I didn't find much redeeming about his character which is perhaps why I didn't​' love the story.I did manage to finish the book but it was a struggle and I won't be doing a re-read.

3 1/2-4 stars. I have read the other two books from this author, and this one has a much different feeling to it. While I enjoyed all three, the first two had more of a heavy, angsty tone, while this one was lighter, and even funny in parts. I also thought we get much better character development in this one. I really liked the heroine Bobbi. She was fun, smart, and a little sassy. Gabe was a good alpha lead, and had kind of OCD tendencies towards order and neatness--a huge contradiction to Bobbi, but there were a couple of instances where he disappointed me. True to this author, the H messes up, and groveling begins. While I thought it was great Bobbi stood her ground, and made Gabe work for it, I felt the climax of this section fell flat for me when, during the confrontation, Gabe sort of turned the tables, and made him seem to be the victim in all their problems, since she did not want to change. To me, he acted like a whiney child, which I admit stayed true to his character (but it still annoyed me). If Bobbi acted this way, she would be considered a snobbish biatch. For me, the grovel kind of took a nosedive, and the couple just seemed to work things out after that. There is also an incident in the end where Gabe let's Bobbi down so he can "work stuff out". Once again, I felt, true to his character, he acted like a selfish child. His reasoning just didn't fly with me. I thought the story as a whole was well written. The dialogue was entertaining, timeline flowed well, sexy scenes were spicy. I also enjoyed catching up on characters from the previous books. I loved the epilogue. When it was over, I did enjoy it, but I sort of expected more.
