Another great addition to this series about the MacArthur family. It’s Sienna’s turn this time to find love as she and Carson Irish find themselves thrown together during an investigation of crimes that seem to revolve around Sienna.. Even though they’ve been together before and Sienna basically ran from what they had together, chemistry and attraction win out over any reasons why she felt they should not be together before.
Very enjoyable read.

Saving Sienna is book three in Katie Reus’ new MacArthur Family series. They are all novellas but are standalone titles, so don’t let the fact that it’s the last in the series put you off. You can start with this book or only read this book and have no issues following the plot or the characters’ relationships.

Sienna MacArther is a tough PI who doesn’t like to play by the rules. Carson Irish is a by-the-book detective. He’s been captivated by Sienna for a while and wants her in his life again...and on a more permanent basis. When someone comes after Sienna, Carson is the only person she’ll allow to help her figure out where the threat is coming from. While he’s trying hard to woo her into a relationship, she’s fighting his advances…for a while.

I enjoyed this second chance, opposites-attract romantic suspense novella. I’m a long-time Katie Reus fan, so I can honestly say I’ve yet to read any of her books and not enjoy them. If you’re looking for a short, intriguing, entertaining romantic suspense, any one (or all!) of the MacArthur Family books will be right up your alley. I’m a series junkie, so of course, I enjoyed them all in order and highly recommend you do the same.

NICUnurse’s Rating: I give Saving Sienna 5 out of 5 stars!

Saving Sienna by Katie Reus
3rd book in the MacArthur Family series. Romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Sienna is a Private Investigator. She prefers to help and work for the underdog and often takes photos of cheating spouses. When her home is broken into and a client connection ends up dead, she calls on Detective Carson Irish to help hide and figure out why she’s now a target. Carson promises to help and decides he also needs her back in his bed. Their wedding date hookup wasn’t enough for him.

Sexy, steamy and suspenseful, this book moves fast . It’s my favorite of the series because you can feel the heat between these two. More, he is respectful of her job and we know his feelings for her run deep. Irresistible.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I also purchased a copy to share.

There's nothing not to love about Saving Sienna. It's a sweet romance with characters you would want to know in real life. Eden never fails to deliver the perfect read.

The third book of the MacArthur Family Series, as a novella, is a quick read but worth it! Sienna MacArthur is a PI, and she has stirred up trouble. Detective Carson Irish is the man to get out of trouble. But the two have a history and chemistry. They are connected by marriage.

In a slight twist, we have Carson knowing he wants Sienna, but she has put on the brakes. Through the clean-up of her mess, sparks do fly. Will they figure out who broke into her home and why?

Thank you to NetGalley and KR Press, LLC for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Seriously enjoyed Carson and Sienna's story! I always love the romantic suspense genre. Ms. Reus gives a lot of story in a novella. Carson was protective but not overbearing. Sienna was go-get-'em but knew her limits. I've had fun reading this series!

Will she understand not all men are cut from the same mold...

Finally the story of the girl of the family.
I have been curious about Sienna since she has been introduced in the first book.
Like her brother, she manages her own business, but works rather alone.
Her line of work does not put human nature under the best light, plus some heart’s disappointments, and she prefers to avoid any entanglement by fear to be once more rejected for whom she is.
Carson has tried to break Sienna’s defenses but she keeps running and avoiding him.
But now she has need of his help, he is determined to not let her slip again.
I loved Carson, he knows what, well who he wants. And while not stalking her, he is not one to be left behind without acting, he sees past her inner reservations and is one to show her she can trust him. Sienna is certain he will be like her other lovers, she does not even gave him a chance to prove her wrong, until she realizes she might have been a bit in a hurry to label him.

I've enjoyed the entire MacArthur Family trilogy, but Saving Sienna is my favorite. I really liked Carson and Sienna's story.

Detective Carson Irish has been attracted to private investigator Sienna MacArthur since her brother’s wedding, but she doesn’t seem to share his feelings, or does she? When one of her investigations turns deadly and police need to be involved, she calls Carson. As they sift through her cases to find out who might be targeting her, she slowly begins to realize that he could be the one. His partner is helping with the investigation while Carson tries to keep both of them safe. On the run with the danger always one step behind them, someone with major resources is trying to kill them, but why? Sienna has shied away from commitment as she has no plans to give up her career, but Carson understands her love for her career and has no plans to change her, he likes her just as she is…sexy, spunky and all female. This might be a shorter read, but it has everything you want, romance, suspense, a fun story line and amazing characters – loved it! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

This time around it's the heroine who doesn't want to get tangled up in a relationship!

Sienna McArthur, P.I. extraordinaire. She knows no fear, so much so she is getting a bit of a reputation as being reckless and rash. But when Carson met her at their sibling's wedding, he fell fast and hard. Sienna has been dodging him since. She felt the tug towards the handsome and dedicated cop but she has a hard rule - no relationships!

When Carson realises that Sienna has seen more than she realises he makes her his mission. He'll keep her safe and if he manages to wear down her no relationship rule whilst they're in hiding? Well, that'll be an added bonus!

Carson is super focused on Sienna. He's a man who knows what he wants and he's in it for the long haul. He's tried the softly softly approach- now it's full frontal assault LOL. Even though he is determined he still respects Sienna and understands how tough her job can be. He's not worried about her doing her job, just being safe whilst she does it! Sienna is sassy, sexy, and super good at her job. I loved the way these two sparked off each other. Sienna is not going to be an easy sell on the whole relationship thing!

Would have loved to have known more about Sienna's previous beaus and how they shaped her hatred of relationships and how they viewed her job. But otherwise it's fast paced, full-on action/suspense with well-placed but intense steam!

Sienna saves herself would be more apt but she does need a little help LOL

Katie is such a talented story teller with the ability to get us hooked into both her short and long books! She definitely saved the best for last in this series and I loved watching these 2 get their happy ending. 5+ Stars from me!

Loved it! While the story stands alone, you'll definitely want to read the rest of the series as well! I just adored Sienna and Carson, and they really bring out the best in each other. Sienna is such a strong heroine, and Carson accepts her just the way she is. There's a good mix of romance and suspense. Interesting mystery that keeps you guessing. I would have liked a little longer epilogue but I'm greedy. Highly recommend!

This super quick, highly enjoyable standalone romantic suspense has PI Sienna MacArthur making enemies with the wrong people, leaving it up to Detective Carson Irish to do his utmost to protect her. Not that she can’t protect herself, but it seems that neither of them mind a bit of one on one personal protection. Bodies are piling up left, right and centre, and it’s only a matter of time before they’re found. They need to get a step ahead, and work out who’s after Sienna, and why. Fast paced, sexy and addictive. I loved both Carson and Sienna, they were a formidable team. For a novella this story sure packed a punch. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review

Katie Reus’ third book, Saving Sienna, in the McArthur series was a romantic suspense in its truest sense...the tension often drawn out as events unfolded. Carson and Sienna’s relationship had a history that was emotionally explosive, their chemistry, off the charts palpable. The author crafted her characters so well that they were relatable and very three dimensional. Having the siblings from the earlier stories a part of drama only made this couple’s story that much more enjoyable.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

4 Stars for this quick romance.

I could feel the heat between Sienna and Carson right from the start ... their chemistry is off the charts. Sienna is the one who is leery about starting a relationship, while Carson is the one who seems to be all in. It just felt like their story started in the middle. I know we got a glimpse of them in the previous books, but not enough to form the start to their story.

Sienna is a PI and Carson is a detective and when Sienna's house is broken into, the person she contacts is Carson. Sienna can handle herself, but when her clients start dropping like flies, she seeks Carson out because she knows he will keep her safe. But her heart being safe is another story,

I received an early copy courtesy of KR Press through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

An action packed, fast paced, quick read! I loved Sienna and Carson! I recommend reading the previous books in the series, but this can be read as a standalone.

The story got right to the point which is good if your looking for a fast read between large novels

Carson and Sienna were cute and had some history to built one since there story starts in prior books.

I enjoyed this for what it was a break between large novels.. The book had everything needed a little suspension, a romance, a hot couple and of course a happy ever after.
