Kian
Undercover Billionaire #1
Melody Anne
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Crazy and passionate story with a lot of heart wrenching moments. Straight from the beginning I couldn’t put this one down. I had to keep reading to find out what was gonna happen next.
A new series about a family of billionaire sons that hopefully will each find love. This was Kian and Roxie super amazing love story. I can’t wait to find out which brother finds love next.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Great easy read, loved the characters and can’t wait to read the sequel

This is the first book in this series (Undercover Billionaire) and my first experience reading this author's work. The blurb really had me excited to read this book and it was a good storyline and I enjoyed it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Let me say that I just finished reading a book that gave me a huge book hangover so that may be why. Kian and Roxie's characters were well developed but I just felt that I would have enjoyed more actual conversations between them instead of reading "about" them. There were portions were the story didn't flow and I was waiting for something to happen, but then at other times it was quite enjoyable. And I really would have enjoyed more dialogue with little Lily -- she was so sweet! That being said, I would still give it a solid 3.5-4 star read for me and I would definitely recommend it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Four years ago Roxie Gilbert ran because she could not deal with the intense feelings she had for Kian Forbes. Now her sister has been murdered and she returns to take care of her niece. The one thing she was not counting on was finding out that Kian is the father of her niece after a drunken night with her sister after Roxie ran away without giving him any explanation. Kian is also surprised that he has fathered a child. Now he and Roxie will have to find a way to raise Lily together and deal with the intense feelings that still exists between them. And as usual matchmakers Joseph, Sherman and now Lucian are behind the scenes scheming.

Kian Forbes has just lost a patient, the sister of the only woman he has ever loved, Roxie Gilbert. Roxie's sister is survived by her daughter, who Kian has just learned is his also. Kian knows Roxie will have hard feelings for the one-night stand he had with her sister, but she will just have to get past it now that he has learned about his daughter Lily. Kian wants to be in Lily's life even if it means dealing with Roxie again. What he is not expecting is that he will want Roxie in his life just as bad.

Roxie ran away and left Kian behind when things got serious between them. She is only back in town to take care of her sister's daughter. When she learns Lily is Kian's, she is at a loss. Roxie cannot give Lily up, but she is not so sure she can be around Kian so much. It seems Roxie is in danger of losing her heart all over again. Can her and Kian make things work this time?

Reviewed via NetGalley for honest review. I give Kian by author Melody Anne a 3.5 out of 5 stars! Although it is a contemporary, which is not my favorite romance genre, I have to say that I did like it. I was very close to giving it 4 stars, but I felt like there were some small things that were unresolved in the end. Probably, if Roxie hadn't been so mood-swingy throughout, I could have understood and liked her more. Kian was great though. Yes, he made mistakes, but Roxie kind of left him high and dry and if anything she is the one that did him wrong. What matters is that in the end, they worked out their differences and realized they were always meant to be. I look forward to reading Ms. Anne's next UNDERCOVER BILLIONAIRE novel.

I love this book.
Melody Anne is an amazing author.
Her books are the kind you just don’t want to put down !

I truly loved the continuation of the matchmaking efforts of Joseph Anderson & his friends. This story while on its own is both heartbreaking & heartwarming continues the matchmaking of Joseph Anderson & he’s done good again. Kian & Roxie are given a second chance at love when brought together by the saddest of circumstances. With the death of Roxie’s sister a secret is released that both shocks & saddens Roxie. Now with both their lives changed forever by this secret they have to find a future that both can deal with. I love how Melody Anne has kept the suspense up throughout the book as well as the intense heat between Kian & Roxie. I enjoyed the quick wit of Kian’s brothers & also the introduction of Evan, Kian’s friend who Kian is seeing as trouble when it comes to Roxie. I laughed & cried throughout this book which is no surprise when I’m reading a book by Melody Anne, her books are truly enjoyable reading. Definitely recommend

Wow what a beautiful read Kian was. I love Melody as a writer. And I loved hearing Joseph meddling again in kids lives.
Kian and Roxie had been together for years: with a promising future ahead when she suddenly upped and moved. 4 years later they are brought together again via her niece Lily.
Reading this story brought tears to my eyes, made me laugh numerous times and overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Praise for the author for another great read.

I could not connect to this story at all. The dialogue seemed "heavy" and a little off.

Started out really strong. Had me hooked then it just felt like high school drama with running away from problems and not wanting to talk it out

Roxie is one head strong woman. Kian is one man who gets what he wants. They share a past together. Kian won’t let her run this time..They make for one complicated steamy hot couple. Roxie has issues to work through. Kian is one generous giving man. Loved the way this story played out.

***Spoilers!!***
This a good first book in a series. Kian comes from a wealthy family, but made it on his own through Med-School.
4 years ago the love of his life, Roxie, ran away and did not look back. With no explanation why and feeling down, he sleeps around to make himself forget her.
Now due to tragic circumstances, he finds out he’s a father of a 3-year old and that Roxie is the aunt.
At first he’s angry that he has to share custody, but then he realizes that taking away his daughter could crush Roxie.
For Roxie it takes a while to realize that she still loves Kian and that she, her Niece and Kian could become a family.
Can’t wait for the rest of the Forbes Clan stories!
**I received a copy this book through NetGalley**

Melody Anne is one of those authors that never disappoints her fans. She writes with such purpose and grace that before you even delve into one of her books you know it’s going to be amazing. Kian is just that. Amazing, beautiful and delicious. Loved it and would recommend.

I love how The Anderson meddling has just keep going. Kian is a handsome doctor who captures your heart from the first page. This book starts off with tragedy but sets up for a big reunion of soulmates. Roxie comes back into town when her sister is murdered, the same town she ran from 4 years earlier. I will say I wasn’t a big fan of Roxie until about the last two chapters, but I think that’s because she’s not submissive as most female leads. I do also feel the ending was a little rushed. Overall though a good book and can’t wait for the next one.

Oh my am I loving this book so much I’ve read it more than once and I still get moments when bits of the story jump out on me. It’s one of the best books I have ever read by this amazing and talented author. It’s my favourite since the Andersons series and I pretty much love that series to bits and is one of my all time favourite series of there ever. Melody anne is such a wonderful Author who grabs your attention, has you engrossed in her stories and captivated by her characters that each new book is a spectacular read and your always guaranteed a fantastic story from her. She sure delivers that I’m spades in this book and it was impossible to put this book down at all nor that you would want to. I’m super excited to see what her next book will be and I can’t wait to get my hands on it but till then I’ve got kian to keep me company till then. I would wholeheartedly recommend this books and this amazing, wonderful and talented author. She just does spectacular stories that I truly love and have me coming back for more.

I really wanted to love this book, I have loved all of Melody's books. But this one I just couldn't get past how immature Roxie was being throughout the whole book. I could understand her wanting time but she was just so childish. Kian was amazing, he willingly owned up to his mistake and was ready to take responsibility and put up with a lot. I was hoping Roxie would redeem herself but for me she didn't.

I used to be a big fan of this author, especially the early books, but not so much now. The story really had no plot, but still managed to leave me with questions. I never really figured out why the main character left suddenly, which launched the basis for the story. The story was predictable and dragged on an on with lots of
repeated dialogue.

Kian finds out in the most tragic way that he’s a father to a young girl who has just lost her mother. Yet the mother is not the woman he has always loved and wanted to be with. Oh no that is his daughter’s auntie, Roxie.

Roxie and Kian had been in a relationship and she left. It got too much for her and she ran. I remember reading this book and seeing Kian only wanting to protect his girls and I can’t lie it was an emotional read. These kinds of stories tug at my heartstrings. I did want to shake some sense into Roxie on numerous occasions because whilst denying herself the chance to be with Kian is her own choice. She’s entitled to do that.

I also have to admit that Kian was a bit let’s say forceful at times and needed to let Roxie get to a place where she was comfortable but his book made me think. Life is too short and you shouldn’t let your chances of love and happiness get away. I’m truly glad I read this book even if I did weep like a baby at parts of this book.

I am so happy to finally be back reading Melody Anne. Her books are an automatic one click for me!

I've read previous books from this author and loved it, so I was really excited to read Kian. Unfortunately, this book was not one for me. The beginning of the book was good and had me hooked but that changed quickly with the main heroine Roxie. I could not connect with her and it seems as if the whole time she cried "poor me." She did more crying than her 3 year old niece who I felt she had no connection with at all. Roxie was childish, selfish and stubborn. I truly disliked her. I liked Kian. He was more than considerate when it came to Roxie and their situation. I enjoyed reading his moments with Lily no matter how small or short those moments were, but that wasn't enough to make me enjoy this book. I really wanted to like this story but it's hard to like a story when you can't connect with the characters and you feel that everything that is going on has such "fakeness" to it. Some parts were so unbelievable and I just couldn't.

ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I debated not rating it as I didn't finish it, but yet I didn't finish it because it was that bad and skimming the book I found that it didn't seem to have much improvement.

I was bothered by the hero sleeping with the heroines sister, really bothered.
~JUST NO~

And the heroine's thought process, actions, behavior was just to juvenile, silly and ridiculous.
~How she left the hero (wrong and immature)
~Why she left the hero (made no sense and was silly)
~Her behavior and reasoning on her return (not communicating or working things out like adults)

And after a third into the story, the frustration and irritation of the heroine and the storyline, I was done.
