“Whoa. Undeniable is one of my top reads! Sizzling chemistry, off the charts sexual tension and all the feels I’ve come to expect with a Melanie Harlow romance!”- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
Undeniable
by Melanie Harlow
Release Date: May 20, 2019
When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn roof. He said you couldn’t break a leg from a 12-foot-jump.
He lied.
(You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was concerned.)
I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet I ever made with him, the last time I ever trusted Oliver Ford Pemberton.
But it wasn’t.
Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we got older, the dares only got dirtier—and the betting stakes higher—until finally, he left me in pieces. I swore I’d never talk to him again.
But twenty years after I took that flying leap, he’s back in my life, daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth, and my heart.
How many chances does true love deserve?
My review: 4.5 stars!
Undeniable is a small town second (fourth? fifth?) chance romance. The hero and herione, Oliver and Chloe, are childhood frenemies with undeniable chemistry who embark on a business venture together. The chapters are dual POV and alternate between the current time and various times in the past. It's obvious from their many dalliances through the years that they just can't stay away from each other. This book was sexy and sweet, and being a businesswoman myself, I enjoyed watching Oliver and Chloe as they made their plans for their joint distillery. I was also so glad to see Oliver mature and grow and that epilogue was perfection!

Excerpt:
Fueled by pent-up lust and scotch, we stumbled into
Oliver’s room and tore at each other’s clothes. It was hot and rough and a
little bit violent, as if we were furious we hadn’t been able to keep our hands
to ourselves and wanted to take it out on one another’s bodies. We pushed and
pulled and growled and grasped. We called each other names and cursed
viciously. We knocked over a lamp and ripped Oliver’s shirt.
When we finally exploded together, Oliver had me up
against the door, and if our yelling didn’t wake the entire floor, then the
pounding must have. I’d have bruises for days.
Afterward, we collapsed on the bed, naked and sweaty
and exhausted.
“Oh my God,” I said. “I can’t believe we did that.”
“I know. Me either.”
“I think I pulled a muscle.”
“I think you bit me. Am I bleeding?”
I laughed. “No, but I hope you’re not seeing anyone.
If you are, she’s going to wonder about all those scratches on your back.”
“I’m not seeing anyone.” He paused. “Are you?”
“No.”
Neither of us moved for several minutes. When I caught
myself falling asleep, I sat up. “I should go.”
“Why? Just stay here.”
I looked down at him. “You want me to stay?”
“Yeah.” He opened his eyes. In the low light, they
almost looked black instead of blue. “Spend the night with me.”
I waited for it—the dirty joke, the excuse, the subtle
dig—the reason he’d toss out for asking me to stay. It couldn’t just be that he
wanted me here.
But he didn’t say anything more. He just reached out
and covered my hand with his.
I looked at our hands for a moment, and a thousand
memories came rushing back. Some good, some bad, but all us. I felt close to
him, and I didn’t want to leave. “Okay. I’ll stay.”
“Good.” He took off his watch and put it on the
nightstand.
