“Sexy, heartfelt--did I mention sexy? With the perfect touch of the forbidden, Melanie Harlow has outdone herself with single dad Mack and Frannie’s story!”
-- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
Irresistible, an all-new fun and swoony standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!
I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar.
Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?
(Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking.)
Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away. She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me. She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined.
I’m a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start.
But I didn’t. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves.
Even if it means giving her up.

Excerpt:
I was holding my breath. I wasn’t even sure why, but it was something about the way Mack was looking at me. And the tension in his body—the taut muscles in his neck. The grip of his fingers on the edge of the counter. The set of his jaw. It gave the impression of restraint. Like he was holding himself back. Something unfamiliar hummed in the air between us. I could feel it—he wanted me the way I wanted him. No wonder I couldn’t breathe. Then he cleared his throat and turned away from me, cutting off the current. “Sure. Everybody needs to make mistakes now and then.” I’d forgotten I’d even asked the question. He turned the sink on, rinsed his dishes, and placed them in the dishwasher. I stood there staring at his muscular back, at the width of his shoulders, at the snug fit of his jeans on his butt. If I were his and he were mine, I’d go over and wrap my arms around his waist, press my cheek to his back. Then he’d turn around, winding his arms around me. He’d lower his lips to mine, and— “I should get you home,” he said, interrupting my fantasy. “Want to grab your coat?” “Sure.” But I didn’t really want to leave. I wanted to stay in this warm, chaotic house with him and the girls. Pretend I belonged here. Pretend I belonged to him.
I have found myself reading more and more single parent books over the last 12 months and in my opinion Irresistible by Melanie Harlow is a great example of the genre.
Where do I start with Irresistible? I guess the first thing is to say that I was totally riveted from the first to the last chapter. Melanie Harlow has a great writing style which I thoroughly enjoy.
I found myself drawn in and totally invested in Mack and Frannie Sawyer’s story and I so wanted these two to get the happily ever after that they both deserved.
I absolutely adored the relationship that Mack has with his daughters, it was truly heart warming not to mention the relationship that Frannie built with them was beautiful.
Irresistible is a wonderfully written story of love and romance. Mack knows that he should stay away from Frannie for her own good. After all he is older and she is his children’s part time nanny, that alone should mean she is off limits. However the attraction and chemistry between Mack and Frannie sizzles and is impossible to ignore.
This book gave me all the feels. It was sweet, spicy, funny and romantic. It tugged at the heart strings so much and all in all was a tremendous read that left me with such a smile on my face that I was disappointed when it ended.

Melanie Harlow’s characters came to life and were so easy to relate to that it made reading Irresistible a true joy.
Irresistible is a wonderful romance filled with all of the challenges you would expect when kind, big hearted, Frannie is drawn to Mac, the single dad with three lovely daughters. The attraction is mutual and chemistry between them is very strong but they have obstacles in their way.
Big, sweet, lovable Mac! You want to love him, yet at the same time you want to smack some sense into him. He is so overwhelmed and his heart wants one thing but his brain is telling him something else. He needs to find the balance, stop being afraid and open up his heart to his future.
This is a great start to a sweet new series!
