About this ebook

Eric Hamilton isn’t looking for love. Hell, he isn’t even looking for a girl. He has a five-year plan, and he’s one hundred percent focused on that. But then Shelby walks into his life, and suddenly, he can’t think about anything else. Unfortunately for him, she hates his guts, and wants nothing to do with him. But he’s a man who loves a challenge.

Shelby Jefferson can’t wait to get out of the city, and back to her country roots. She moved to Atlanta for a guy who promptly left her, and the last thing she wants is to fall for another man who might make her want to stay. But Eric is nothing if not persistent, and before long she’s inside his arms, in his bed, and falling for him. Hard. But when history repeats itself, she’s left having to choose between a man and herself...again.

Ratings and reviews

ROMANCING THE BACHELOR, the second book in Diane Alberts' new Hamilton Family series starts off great. Shelby's sass and dismissal wasn't what Eric was used to from women. He was hooked and so was I. Once Eric convinces Shelby to give him a chance to be her "friend" (since neither wants a relationship), after promising her he absolutely will not fall in love with her or ask her to stay in Atlanta with him rather than going for her dream job in a small town. Shelby isn't about to let another man derail her from her dreams. Likewise, Shelby promises Eric she will not be a threat to his beloved bachelor state by falling in love with him. The book continues in a slow romantic build with plenty of humor and sexy times. The pace really picks up toward the end has Eric and Shelby are torn between their promises to each other, some miscommunication, and the realization that they have indeed fallen in love. I really enjoyed Romancing the Bachelor and am hoping Wyatt Hamilton's story will be next! 4 stars. ~Complimentary copy downloaded from NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Loved this book! Sexy and fun, this is another winning romance by the author. It begins when a hot attorney can't take his mind off of the sexy court reporter. She can't understand why the attorney player has set his sights on her, so she shuts him down....except he won't go away. She finally agrees to be his friend, but that leads to something more. No one can tell a contemporary romance like this author - she creates characters that make you fall in love and feel invested in. This book is no exception - it had me turning pages just as quickly as possible, anxious to see what happened next, but not wanting it to end. I didn't think the author could improve on the first book in the series, but this novel is every bit as good as the first, if not better. Fans of the genre will love this book. It's a must read for romance fans. While its part of a series, this is a stand alone novel. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Reading a Diane Alberts story is like being caught in a Riptide. It's easy to become entangled and hard to find the way out. I love reading Ms. Alberts. She can maneuver from light and entertaining to emotionally frustrating, but she always manages to grab hold of her readers and never let go. The Hamiltons are my favorite series because, each story has little more heart, alot more mischief and that dynamic only a family gave make. Romancing the Bachelor is Eric's moment to shine. The man with the five year plan meets his match in Shelby. She's vibrantly frustrating, stubborn, and determined to live by her own rules. Sound familiar. Eric and Shelby are two peas in a pod. Which makes for a volatile relationship, but an exciting romance. There were times the story felt rushed but these characters are as lovable as the series is sizzling.
