Because You're Mine by Layla Hagen

ABOUT THE BOOK

This sexy and heart-warming romance about a sworn bachelor falling for his best friend’s sister will melt your e-reader. 

Happy Ever After - guaranteed!

Can be enjoyed as standalone. 


Ian Gallagher loves taking risks. It’s how he turned the business he’s built with his brother into a success. But even he can’t cross some rules. His best friend’s sister is strictly off-limits, but when Ellie moves to New York, he jumps at the chance to help her settle in.

One look at her, and he realizes that not flirting with her will be a lot harder than he thought, and not just because she’s stunning. He enjoys her laughter and merciless teasing. How can he stay away when all he wants is to get closer?

Ellie Cavanaugh is living her dream. She’s finally working in a Michelin starred restaurant in New York. Her plan is to get as much experience as possible before opening her own place. Kissing her brother’s best friend is definitely not part of the plan. Neither is opening up to him in ways she never did with anyone.

Ellie knows that Ian isn’t looking for forever though. After all, her brother warned her that Ian was a sworn bachelor. And if she’s honest with herself, Ellie isn’t ready for love either. She’s never let anyone in before. But she can’t help giving in to the growing bond between her and Ian, even if it means putting her heart on the line.

This is the last book in the series and gosh I am going to miss the families that the author has created.  We get to see a lot of the different families nearer the end and what they are up to in the future, This is Ian Gallagher's story, and he was the one no one thought would ever settle down.

In this book we meet his best friend Henry, who has a very HOT YOUNGER sister who comes to NYC for a job as a chef. She is only supposed to be in town for 6 months and then she will rotate to a different restaurant to train there and so on...

Ian and Ellie have known each other for a very long time but never really got alone time and Henry has always warned Ian away from getting to know Ellie. When she comes to NY, he warns him away but also asks him to watch over her too.

Ellie has always crushed hard on Ian and she has always struggled letting any guy in and she also has a secret.....

Because you are mine, is the title of this book and its a phrase that Ian tells Ellie, why she is different from other women for him. 

This was a fun, flirty story with a bit of a forbidden romance. I felt Henry's response was a bit tame after he had threatened Ian for years. The bigger drama in this story related to Ellie seeing a lot of Ian's discarded women around town and that she will be leaving town in a few months. 

I really loved the story . It was low on drama and a great way for the series to end. However I found it a bit tamer than the other stories in the series and I adored how we get to see all the previous characters in this story and catch up with them.
