ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2017
I’m Griffin Reed—cutthroat entrepreneur and competitive bastard. Trust is a four-letter word and everyone is disposable…except Britta Stone. Three years ago, she was my everything before I stupidly threw her away. I thought I’d paid for my sin in misery—until I learned we have a son. Finding out she’s engaged to a bore who’s rushing her to the altar pisses me off even more. I intend to win her back and raise our boy. I’ll have to get ruthless, of course. Luckily, that’s one of my most singular talents.
Sixty days. That’s what I’m asking the gritty, independent single mother to give me—twenty-four/seven. Under my roof. And if I have my way, in my bed. Britta says she wants nothing to do with me. But her body language and passionate kisses make her a liar. Now all I have to do is coax her into surrendering to the old magic between us. Once I have her right where I want her, I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I more than need her.
•••••••••••
REVIEW: MORE THAN NEED YOU is the second installment in Shayla Black’s contemporary, adult MORE THAN WORDS romance series. This is realtor Griffin Reed, and PA Britta Stone’s story line. MORE THAN NEED YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion. Some of the events of MORE THAN NEED YOU run parallel to the events of book one-MORE THAN WANT YOU.
Told from first person point of view (Griffin Reed), with a final chapter by Britta Stone, MORE THAN NEED YOU is a second chance romance focusing on the rekindling relationship between realtor Griffin Reed, and PA Britta Stone. Brothers Griffin and Maxon Reed’s relationship was upended and destroyed when Griffin perceived a betrayal by the woman he loved Britta Stone, and the brother he once shared a thriving business and brotherly bond. Fast forward to present day, wherein Griffin discovers that Britta gave birth to his son, months after he walked out of her life, and in the ensuing time Griffin had manwhored his way through a long, list of women. With the revelation that he and Britta had a son, and Britta is newly engaged to a man who is willing to raise Griffin’s son as his own, our hero demands sixty days together with the woman he once loved, to prove that he is capable of fidelity, romance, and a promise for the future.
Griffin Reed thought his life was over when he perceived a betrayal by the woman he loved. Not only did he accuse his brother of scheming and plotting against him, but Griffin also believed Britta Stone was a part of the conspiracy to destroy his life. Finding out he had a son threw Griffin Reed into an emotional abyss. Britta Stone’s life was destroyed the day Griffin accused her of colluding to sabotage his career, with his brother, behind his back. Their fractured relationship, alongside Griffin’s hatred for his brother, destroyed any semblance of a future and a family for our story line heroine. With the prospect of marriage to a man she doesn’t love finds Britta Stone accepting Griffin’s sixty day offer of a temporary truce after which she will be in control of both of their futures.
The relationship between Britta and Griffin is one of second chances; an acrimonious affair wherein Griffin is determined to win back the woman he loves, and to prove he is worthy of a second chance. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are reintroduced to Griffin’s brother Maxon Reed, his fiancé Keely Kent, Griffin and Britta’s son Jamie, and Britta’s fiancé Makaio Kale. Griffin and Maxon’s sister Harlow Reed’s story line is next in MORE THAN LOVE YOU.
The world building follows the rebuilding of two fractured relationships: Maxon and Griffin; Griffin and Britta, as well as the restructuring of a business that was all but destroyed by misconception and miscommunication.
MORE THAN NEED YOU is a sexy, second chance romance. The premise is engaging, inspiring and heartbreaking; the characters are passionate, determined and charismatic; the romance is passionate, emotional and intense. MORE THAN NEED YOU is a captivating look at family, love, and the fall out of secrets and lies.
