Description

Falling For His New Neighbor Was Never Part of the Plan 

Chris Daniels is single, and he prefers to keep it that way. Women are trouble. One look at his new neighbor has all his warning bells going off. He needs to stay away from her for his peace of mind. 

Elizabeth Marshall is hoping for a new start where she can heal from the scars of her past and rebuild her life. That is, until she comes face-to-face with Chris. He's all male with broad shoulders and dark brown eyes that seem to look into her soul. She needs to keep as much distance between them as possible. 

Too bad fate, and their meddling landlord have other plans. Before she knows it, Elizabeth is working at Chris's construction company, helping him in the office. Their forced proximity means she can't avoid him, and before too long she realizes she doesn't want to.  

Just as Elizabeth thinks she might get her happily-ever-after, someone from her past decides they aren't ready to let her go. Can Chris keep Elizabeth safe, or will her past end their relationship before it can begin? 

Behind Closed Doors is the steamy first novel in Sherri Hayes's Daniels Brothers series. If you like small towns, workplace romances, and a little bit of mystery, then you'll love Sherri Hayes's sexy contemporary romance.

    If you are looking for a quick, easy read, maybe have some time while out laying by the pool or beach, this one isn’t bad. Granted, it isn’t great either. It’s the typical first meeting stirring in the pants for him, caveman-like inner thoughts, and her being drawn to him but hesitant. Then it gets into their pasts. Skeletons in her closet, and he’s scorned from his previous marriage. I can see why she’d have some trauma and be hesitant to get into another relationship, as she was abused for years and it came to blows. However, this man dwells and dwells on his unfaithful ex-wife, who of course is back and flaunting her body in the hopes that he bites the bait. I wanted to say, “Dude, just move on from the anger and resentment. Be glad you caught her cheating when you did.” I think his past was played up a bit much. Most men would be bitter, no lie, but they wouldn’t dwell as he does. Of course the two main characters work through it all. It was a bit of a telenovela towards the end. Woman scorned attacks another, there is a kidnapping, attempted murder, etc. Believable? Meh. Plausible? Again, meh. Overall? Not gonna win any awards or be in a book club, but it’s an easy read.

    This book has been breathtaking. I love a good book with a twist and this book has all the romance, twist, anticipation and a happy ending with no cliffhangers. It keeps you wondering what will happen next and it’s impossible to put it down. I read it in a day. That’s how good it was.

    The first book in The Daniels Brothers series, Behind Closed Doors, is filled with romance and danger. Elizabeth Marshall wants to leave the drama of her past and identity behind. Moving to a new town to start over seems to be the answer but a business trip puts her back into the sight of an unwanted stalker and a mother in law bent on revenge. The attraction between Elizabeth and her boss, Christopher Daniels, offers the security she’s lacking and the support of the Daniels family. Together they are able to meet the dangers that threaten Elizabeth. This is an exciting and suspenseful read. I enjoyed it enough to read the rest of the Daniels Brothers series. Behind Closed Doors, Red Zone, Crossing the Line and What Might Have Been by Sherri Hayes are well written, enjoyable and do not disappoint. I highly recommend this author and this series.
