"Unbreakable is everything you expect from a Melanie
Harlow novel: emotional, sexy and a love that's worth risking it all for. I
could not get enough of Henry and Sylvia's story!"
-- Corinne Michaels, New York Times bestselling author
Unbreakable, an all new “do not miss” sexy and emotional
second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is
available now!
In hindsight, I should not have had that fifth mimosa at
Breakfast with Santa.
Or the sixth, seventh, and eighth.
But my shame over the public meltdown that resulted was
nothing compared to being abandoned by my husband of fifteen years for a much
younger woman—and did I mention she’s pregnant?
For the sake of my children and my pride, I pack up and head
for my childhood home and the small town where I grew up. Cloverleigh Farms
would be the perfect place for a fresh start.
Falling for Henry DeSantis wasn’t part of the plan.
Sure, he’s easy on the eyes and hard in the bedroom (also
the hallway, the bathtub, and on top of his desk), but he’s newly divorced too,
and things between us are moving so fast I’m afraid neither one of us has had
enough time to heal. Not to mention the fact that I’m a single mom now—my kids
have to come first.
But Henry makes me feel beautiful and sexy and wanted and
strong—things I haven't felt in years. We understand each other, and when I’m
in his arms, I’m tempted to trust again. To love again. To let myself be loved
without fear.
But deep down, I’m terrified.
Is this all too much, too soon? Or am I a fool to let a
second chance at happily ever after pass me by?
Louise's Review
Unbreakable is book 4 in the Cloverleigh Farm Series, while this is part of the series it can be read as a standalone.
Sylvia has come home, divorced mother of 2 she jumps straight into the family business. Henry has had his own year of hell, divorced and with no family he spends all his time at work doing what he loves. When Henry and Sylvia’s friendship turns to more, they get sprung which puts Sylvia in between a rock and a hard place. Walking away from a love that she has never felt might be the biggest mistake of her life.
I personally love this series, the chemistry between Sylvia and Henry is on point. I cannot wait to get my hands on book 5, Harlow unlocked a small secret I just cant wait to read where she takes us.

Excerpt
“Want to unzip my dress?”
“That would be a hell yes.” He took my hand and pulled me to
my feet. “Turn around.”
I turned, lifting my hair off my neck. Slowly, he pulled the
zipper down my back, and the red dress fell to my feet. Stepping out of it, I
suddenly felt self-conscious. I hadn’t been fully naked in front of a man
without the cover of darkness in a long time. I hadn’t been fully naked in
front of anyone but my ex since I was twenty—and I didn’t have that body
anymore. I’d had two children. Even though I knew it was stupid, that nagging
little prickle of insecurity still stung . . . I’d been
left for a younger woman. He’d told her I didn’t excite him anymore. Was my
body to blame? Before I could stop myself, I covered my chest with my arms,
wrapping one fist inside the other and tucking them beneath my chin.
“Hey.” Henry turned me by the shoulder so I was facing him
again. “Don’t do that.”
“What?” I had trouble looking him in the eye.
He tipped my chin up. “Don’t hide yourself from me.”
“I’m not hiding,” I said, but of course I was.
Taking me by the wrists, he forced my arms down to my sides,
and looked at me.
I started to panic a little.
I was totally bare before him—stretch marks, C-section scar,
less-than-perky breasts and all. Unlike many of my friends, I’d never had
surgery to restore my post-baby body to its former tight, bouncy, unmarked
state. Now I was kind of wishing I had.
I’d never felt so naked or vulnerable in my life.
“Sylvia, I’m going to say this once,” Henry said seriously.
“And then, since you’ve learned not to trust words entirely, I’m going to spend
the rest of the night showing you that it’s true—I think you are the most
exquisite woman on the face of the earth, in every way. There is no part of
your body, no inch of your skin, that isn’t perfect, because it’s yours.” He
took my head in his hands and kissed me, hard but sweet. “And all I want to do
is make you mine, even if it’s just for tonight.”
“Yes,” I whispered. I rose up on my toes, pressing my lips
to his again while my hands went to work unbuttoning his shirt. “Make me yours
tonight, Henry. That’s all I want to be.”
