Roxie and Kian were characters that I had to get used to, sadly it took me most of the book to connect but by then I lost interest and only kept reading for the storyline way back to who you really are and finding your soul mate. I would recommend this book but only if you have time to spare.

Kian Forbes, a surgeon, a billionaire thought Roxie was his better half until she vanished couple years back. He would have done everything to keep her but she left without words. Now, in emergency room, Roxie's sister, his one night stand comes in with severe injuries, almost at death bed and revealing her daughter is also his daughter. Now, he would do everything to take care of his daughter.
Roxie moved away from Kian thinking she could start over in new town except she is back. Now she is losing her only sister and she has to take care of her niece on behalf of her sister. She loved her sister and she has no problem taking care of her niece until she finds out father of her niece was her ex-boyfriend Kian.
Kian and Roxie will need to put aside their feelings and raise a child together. They have enough history but will it become an issue for both.
I did enjoy second chance except I am not a big fan of Kian and Roxie's sister having a kid. Roxie's sister knew who Kian was and she was okay with spending one night and having his baby didn't sit well. Other than that issue, their second chance was pretty solid.

I love books with billionaires in them. KIAN, the first book in the UNDERCOVER BILLIONAIRE SERIES, didn’t disappoint. I was sucked right into the action from the first page to the last and ended up reading the book in less than twenty-four hours!

Roxie and Kian have a history, and it’s getting in the way of the present, especially since they haven’t seen each other in four years. Roxie ran away from the love of her life, and now that she’s back due to circumstances beyond her control, neither she nor Kian are happy about it. They both have only loved each other, but while she lived her life after running away, she didn’t date and didn’t form any close relationships or friendships.

Kian became a lady’s man, but no one touched him like Roxie. As the chemistry is still there and continues to build, neither one of them knows what to do about their feelings. Everyone around them sees how they feel about the other, but Kian and Roxie are just having “moments” and feel they can disassociate whenever they want. But since a precious someone is holding them together, that’s not likely to happen.

I loved learning the history of Kian and Roxie while also getting to know their families. Kian is one of the good guys even though he’s rich. His family is always there for one another and puts their wealth to good use. The relationships and family connections seemed real and had me wanting to learn more about Kian’s family. Roxie came from the poor side of the tracks and had an alcoholic father and a sister from whom she was estranged.

The characters had a depth to them, and we learned about them a little at a time. We also get to know about some of the community members and things they are involved in. There were both happy and sad moments mixed in with an emotional and loving story. There is nice closure with a happily ever after, but there are a lot more stories to tell since Kian has three brothers and a sister, and their father and grandfathers seem to be into matchmaking. I can’t wait to read more!

Melody Anne is a new-to-me author, only having read the first book in her BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS SERIES. I need to rectify that and have added a few of her books to my always growing TBR pile!

This was a decent story and I somewhat enjoyed both the hero and the heroine. Kian and Roxie were both well-written characters. However, nothing really stood out making it a great book.

I am new to Melody Ann. Kian is my first book by her but definitely not my last. I found myself sneaking time to read a few more pages, another chapter, and sometimes just a paragraph or two. The characters were realistic and mostly likeable. There were times that I wanted to shake both Kian an d Roxie to get them to open their eyes and see what they were missing out of.

Kian knew what love was and when that love walked away he changed his ways becoming player but he never forgot what love looked like. Then love walked back into his life in the form of Roxie. Immediately life would change for him. There was no doubt that when Roxie returned home things would be shaken up, stirred, and changed in Kian’s world.

The storyline was one I wasn’t sure I could accept at first. Kian and Roxie were sweethearts, true loves, and soul mates. She broke his heart and he slept with her sister. Then Roxie returned to town and he wants her back. Is that wrong? Is that disgusting? I wasn’t sure. Melody Ann was able to take a difficult situation and turn into something that didn’t feel wrong, that just felt like love finding itself again. It was sweet, it was hot, and it was perfect.

Pick up your copy. Meet Kian and Roxie. Fall in love with sweet, innocent, lovely Lily.

Thank you Montlake for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely adored this book. Kian and Roxy had a rocky start, but they were able to work together for Lilly's sake. Their road to love wasn't easy, especially with them fighting it, but they eventually became what they were meant to. Melody Ann has a way of writing that sucks a reader in and this story is a fantastic example of that writing. I loved this book and this author continues to be a must read for me.

I try to like this book, but Roxie put me off, she was so immature, or by polar I don't know which one. I like the other characters. Thanks to Netgalley for this free copy.

I did not finish this book. While I appreciate the offer to have the novel., I have stopped reading any romance novels that stray more into erotica.

This is part of the "Undercover Billionaire" series, and that tells you pretty much everything you need to know - it is a classic billionaire romance, and although you don't need to think too much about the plot, it's a nice light read to get lost in for a day.

I have chosen not to read and review this tile. While the blurb drew me to the story, I was not engaged with the characters or the way the story was written.

I appreciate the opportunity to review this early title and am looking forward to the next title through your company.

Thanks,
Laura

This was a great second chance at love book. Kian and Roxie were great together. A tragedy brings them back together, and its a struggle for them to work everything out. Lots of angst in this story. A great start to a series. Can't wait to read the rest of them!

This is a sweet Second Chance romance, but ultimately I never really felt a connection to the main characters. I wanted to love Kian and I did love that he wanted to be a Dad so much, but his overbearing nature put me off instead of being sexy. The story was fine, I just didn't connect with the characters.

I really wanted to like this book. I have enjoyed Melodys other books and this one just fell below the expectations. You get hooked in the first chapter then it falls. Rosie was just annoying and immature. Left for four years and left everyone and anyone behind. Kian was a better character even though he was a man whore and constantly drunk for a surgeon. Learning you have a daughter with the love of your life sister was a lot. The secondary characters were great. I hope the second book gets better and holds my attention like many of Melodys books do!

I really wanted to like this book. I have read this author before, so I was looking forward to it. The problem I had is that it just didn’t work for me. I did finish the book and there are moments that the two main characters Kian who is a surgeon, and Roxie who is a former girlfriend from four years ago. Are now put together again because after she left Kian her sister had a one night stand with Kian and became pregnant. Now four years later as she is dying in the hospital that Kian works in he is finding this out, and later Roxie finds out that Kian the man she walked away from is her niece’s father. Now there are problems but for me I cannot see a HEA. Well I am a guy so there you have it. Besides at times Kian is an arrogant jerk to put it mildly. They do have bedroom scenes which are hot and steamy, but overall I just felt off with the story. the characters surrounding everyone were good though.

Absolutely loved this book, I couldn't put it down, everyone needs to read this book. Kian is HOT. I love Melody books and this did not disappoint.

Kian is the first book in the Undercover Billionaires series written by author Melody Anne. I'm a big fan of this author, especially loved the Billionaire Aviators series, but this heroine? is just too stupid to live. I did not like her at all. Thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for the advance copy.

My first Melody Anne series was Billionaire Aviators. I LOVED it!! I was so excited that I decided to take a chance on Kian, the first book in her Undercover Billionaire series. Once again, I loved it!

I look at the stars on GoodReads and wonder, “Did we read the same book?!?!” Kian had a love story that was deep, well thought out, and full of emotion.

Dr. Kian Forbes in a trauma surgeon with an extra soft spot for children. While on duty, he is called to the ER for a patient that turns out to be his long last love’s sister. Though he was unable to save Pamela, he does find out a secret that changes his life forever.

“Kian hadn’t wanted to say he’d been given a silver spoon because of the way he’d been born. He’d studied hard, and now he was a doctor in extreme demand. He was often called to other places where only he could help. There was a lot of pride in knowing he was worthy of his family name. It was almost odd to him that he’d been coasting through life without a lot of care in the world until he’d met Roxie. And then he’d been in love, willing to drop to his knees for her. Then she’d left, and he’d become a different man --- harder. And now he was his father. This woman was responsible for all the major shifts in his life.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)

Roxie Gilbert’s sister dies and she is left to raise her niece, Lily, on her own. Little did she know that her world would collide back with Kian Forbes, the one man she had ever loved.

“Kian had shattered her, had broken her into mere fragments of the person she’d once been. It didn’t matter that he hadn’t intended to do it; it only mattered that she’d felt so broken, she’d had to run to save herself.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)

As Kian & Roxie navigate their new reality, they find that they both still love each other. Can they make the past the past and forge a future together?

“… she’d been running away, not running towards something.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)

I loved the tug and pull of these characters. Their past was well written and intertwined will with the present.

I also have to tell you that I have a soft spot for older men who love to match make! If you have read Melody Anne’s books, then you know what I am talking about… Joseph, Lucian & Sherman! These three men connect Melody Anne’s other series into one larger story. But do know that each series can be read alone.

“ The men grew quiet as they put their heads together and once again got up to no good. Their wives would kill them if they knew what they were planning. A little jealousy always seemed to help a romance move right along, though. And the guys knew just what to do next.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)

Arden’s book is releasing June 26th! It is on my kindle right now and I am loving it!! You need these boys in your life! And add the Billionaire Aviators series to your TBR list as well. You will enjoy them!!

I really enjoy Melody Anne's books but this one started off good and then it got boring. Roxie was doubting herself just a little too much and i just couldn't take to her at all..
She was depressing immature and sometimes just flat out dumb, her life was depressing and I was disappointed with her.

This is my first novel by Melody Anne, and unfortunately, “Kian” was not my cup of tea. I found Roxie and her baggage to be extremely annoying. She didn't seem to have a plausible reason for leaving just like her sister didn't seem to have plausible reason to keep her child secret from her rich doctor baby daddy.

I really wanted to love this book - or at least really like it. But I really can't give it better than just an OK rating of 3 stars. I am usually a fan of Melody Anne's books so I'm surprised I didn't like this one as much as her other books.

I just couldn't stand the heroine, Roxie! I kept thinking that there was some great reason why she left the love of her life, Kian, and why she stayed away for four years. But when the real reason was revealed I just kept thinking to myself, "That's it???" The reason was SO LAME that it makes the character of the heroine out to be a selfish witch. She left Kian with out an explanation. She left her sister - ven if they didn't really get along she was the only family Roxie had left. She left her friends, especially her best friend Eden and never even kept in touch with her. And she never even came back for her niece. I'm sure she never even saw or met her because if she did she would've seen she looked like Kian. So basically Roxie's character us pretty selfish and has no regard for anyone else she supposedly cares about.

Now Kian was a little better character, though there were still some flaws there that I couldn't really swallow about. First if all, he is supposed to be a confident and self-assured man. Even though it says he grew up with wealth his parents never spoiled their kids and made them work hard form what they wanted. This should've shown that Kian's character wouldn't just let Roxie leave without trying to find her and ask her why she left him. Also, he wouldn't be weak enough to drink and whore his way through a lot of women. He said he couldn't remember all the women he was with because he was so drunk so I agree with Roxie when she realizes this and wonders if he has fathered more kids. Because how would he even remember if he used a condom? Also how did women not trap him because he's so rich and good looking? And he's a doctor! He really should know better! He could get a disease! Finally, if he loved Roxie so much why would he never check on his love's sister? Or for that matter why wouldn't his family since they loved Roxie as well?

I think the one character I did really like in this book was the sister. Even from that letter she gave her lawyer we could see how her sister was initially selfish and then after Lilly how she really tried to turn her life around. That letter right there us why I love Melody Anne's books. She is able to reveal so much of a character, which us why I'm surprised that I don't like these characters as much as those in her other books.

I'm hoping that the next book will be better. I know it can be because I've loved other books by Melody Anne and I know she could write a heck of a story with great characters. This one just falls short of her usually high standards.
