Tease Me, Baby is a continuation of the O'Connor family with Jackson’s younger sister finding her HEA in this latest novella from Katie Reus. This series is enjoyable even though it is much more lighthearted than some of her paranormal or suspense series. It is small town fast and furious; lust to love story Holly, North Carolina style.

This is a quick paced, hot, passionate story that has likable characters. The length hinders it having complex character development or giving the characters time to develop a deep relationship. The happily ever after comes to a thumbs up conclusion making it clear the characters have the rest of their life to develop their loving relationship. Tease Me, Baby is able to be enjoyed without having read the first in the series, but you will want to read Jackson’s story too once you meet the O’Connors. Easy read for an upbeat feeling.

I love Katie Rues, but somehow I skipped over book 1 in this series Luckily, this story totally stands alone, but I love the characters and town so much that I will definitely be picking up the first installment. It's hard not to love Brad. He may not be quite as much of a "boy scout" as he seemed at first, but he is such a good guy....and he rescued puppies! Fallon is kind of torn between the path she thinks she should take and the path she wants. Fallon and Brad have combustible chemistry, which even they can't seem to control. I loved the buildup in their relationship. I also really like how things were handled without any cliched tropes, but with communication and maturity.

Fallon's family is great as well, and I loved the hockey game initiation! I really hope that future stories focus on some of these family members! This was a quick but it absolutely felt like a complete story with character depth. I can't wait until book 3!

Brad had ten days to win Fallon O’Connor’s heart!!!
Fallon is pastry chef in Holly, North Carolina. She feels she needed a culinary degree so she decided to attend a culinary school in california even though her hearts wasn’t in it . She is set to take off in two weeks and she meets man of her dream “Boy scout” Brad Fulton.
She kiss him at Christmas Eve and ever since than she has been avoiding Brad. She didn’t want to start something before she was leaving. But Brad had different ideas. He didn’t want to give up before it starts and he wasn’t ready to let go of her yet.
Fallon and Brad had perfect chemistry and they enjoyed each other’s company. But her leaving date is looming and she didn’t want to stay because of Brad and she wasn’t sure if she really wanted to go.
Brad already won her heart but what will he do to have her stay???

It was cute story of two lovely people.

Tease Me, Baby was a fun read. In fact, I read the entire book in a single sitting. I'm not usually big on Christmas stories, but I fell in love with Holly, NC in the All He Wants for Christmas anthology that featured Katie Reus' Merry Christmas, Baby,the first O'Connor Family book.

Rues' characters are quirky and fun. Brad Fulton, AKA the Boy Scout, is always prepared when it comes to Fallon O'Connor. That includes showing her that he's not quite the Boy Scout she would like to think he is. Fallon is trying to get her life together, but what she doesn't understand is that she's missing out on what is really important by worrying about what she thinks should be important.

Between her three older brothers and her mom's betting pool, it's anything goes in Holly. And Reus isn't teasing with this one.

TEASE ME BABY is the 2nd book in the O'CONNOR FAMILY series. Fallon the only girl with four 3 older brothers already has a disadvantage in the dating game. Her brothers are military heroes and success in life...she feels like she doesn't measure up and is trying to decide where her future leads... Then there is Brad...former marine war hero and now sheriff of the town... This is a sweet..sexy..story and I enjoyed really enjoyed it.

Tease Me, Baby is a short novella that continues the O'Conner family love story with sister, Fallon. Brad is the local sherif and has his eyes and heart set on Fallon. Then, she drops the bombshell that she is leaving town. Fallon doesn't really want to go, but is worried that she will be a failure if she stays in town and tries to start her own business. Brad and Fallon have a hot romance that moves quickly (it is a novella!). I was worried I wouldn't really like Fallon, but that wasn't the case. Brad is super swoon-worthy. Overall, this is a perfect read-in-one-sitting romance that will have you sighing in contentment!

The chemistry between this two crackles. Both Brad "the boy scout" Sheriff of Holly North Carolina, and pastry chef Fallon O'Connor, find the attraction is too much to run from. Fallon is leaving in 2 weeks for culinary school across the country and has been avoiding Brad since they shared a heated kiss at the Christmas party. Brad's done waiting, he's ready to settle down and knows Fallon is the one. This is a lovely story of stolen kisses, heated desire and finding you can't run from the real thing.

I was excited when Katie Reus has decided to expand on her story in my favorite Box Set "All He Wants For Christmas" with the O'Connor Family. We met the family when Jackson O'Connor fell hard for the new owner of of Holly North Carolina's bookstore. It's always Christmas in the charming town of Holly to everyone's delight. The town sheriff is Brad Fulton who retired from the military a year ago and has returned home. Fallon O'Connor is an "experience taught" pastry chef about to leave for culinary school across the country thinking she needs a degree to be on even footing with her successful brothers. It's now Valentine's Day and leaving in 2 weeks for school. Brad's done waiting... Awesome story and my thanks go to Katie Reus for giving me this ARC for review.

A sweet, sexy novella. Fallon & Brad were great together, but it was just a little too quick for me. I think part of it was that it was a novella so you don't get a lot of backstory or depth into the family relationships. The brothers are funny, though, so it will be interesting to hear more about them. I will continue to read this series since they're lighthearted and sexy.

-possessive hero
-likeable heroine
-safe read, no abuse or cheating
-no OW drama

There is just something about a man in uniform! I've enjoyed both, this book and book 1 but I'll admit this couple was a little bit hotter. Our couple is Brad, the sheriff of the town of Holly and Fallon O'Connor, little sister to Jackson from book 1.

I really liked Fallon's character but I'm all about my alphas. Brad was such a sweet combination of the all American, good guy and intense Alpha. I couldn't have asked for a better Hero. The small town setting was comical along with the big brothers interference. Short, but hot and sweet read! ARC provided by NetGalley.

A sweet little quick read. This novella is the second in the series and a good way to check out the series to see if you will enjoy it. I read it in less than an hour, but the author really got a lot into these pages. It is the first book I have read by this author but it will not be the last. I enjoyed how the main female character was written, and since I have felt the same way she was feeling in the book I really felt I understood her. It could be considered Instalove, but the characters have known each other for quite awhile. While not the best thing ever it is still a good book, and I definitely want to finish the series.

Sometimes you’re in the mood for a quick read that’s sweet but has some heat as well. Tease Me, Baby is just such a read. There isn’t a bunch of angst or action. It’s just a straight forward romance between two individuals who’ve had their eyes on each other for the past year. I liked Fallon. She seemed a typical twenty-year-old making life more complicated than it had to be. Case in point? Her relationship with her mother, which didn’t seem that complicated to me. Of course, I loved Brad as well. He certainly wasn’t a boy scout when it came to his treatment of Fallon. Did I mention this read has some heat as well? If you’re in the mood for short and sweet with no angsty complications, pick up a copy of Tease Me, Baby.

Tease Me, Baby by Katie Reus

A hot and sexy novella with a compelling attraction for each the hero and heroine. A small town setting where family is important.
I loved the sweetness, and the racy scenes. But the best was his offer....no spoilers. Just an awesome little romance novel not to be missed.

Second book in the series but stands alone easily. Of course, after this "happily ever after", I want to backtrack and read the first book. Now.

Excerpt:
"She'd ignored his call, instead texting him back telling him she'd be here, keeping her text vague. The woman was hot and cold and driving him crazy. And okay, he liked the chase. A lot. He liked everything about Fallon O'Connor."

Tease Me, Baby by Katie Reus (O'Connor Family #2) is a contemporary romantic novella that can be read a s a stand alone. Welcome back to Holly, NC and small town life. I really enjoy how this author creates her stories around identifiable characters. Tease Me, Baby features an at loose ends Fallon O'Connor and the sheriff of Holly, Brad Fulton. I can't say enough about how heart warming this series is. I have the audio version of Merry Christmas, Baby and was eagerly anticipating this next book. Fallon has a big life decision to make and is caught between doing what she thinks her family would want her to do or going with her heart instead. Sheriff Brad Fulton aka Boy Scout turns out to be everything Fallon wants, but doesn't want to want. If you enjoy a small town romance that will leave you with a smile at the end, pick this one up. I can also recommend this author's Red Stone Security Series if you like a little suspense or the Darkness Series if you're looking for some paranormal romance.

Talk about bad timing. Brad and Fallon finally hook up, and Fallon is leaving in two weeks. Their relationship seems intense quite soon and left Fallon with a lot of choices to make. Brad is perfect, he's willing to wait and doesn't force her to make a choice that she'll regret.
Tease Me, Baby is a cute light, easy read.

It an insta-lust/love story. Fallon and Brad. She is trying not to loose focus on her career and Brad she feels would do that for her. He is a 'boy scout' even better than Captain America, he saved puppies and has medals.
Its a sweet story, a determined Alpha.

This is a novella so I rated it accordingly. Ofcourse there is kinda instalove, but I did not mind as I really enjoyed this story. Hot sheriff and some hot moments.
There was no silly angst, just a developing love story. I would have loved some more pages with this sheriff.

The plot: Fallon and Brad have sizzling chemistry, but Fallon is leaving in a couple of weeks for culinary school for a year and a half. I liked the way the author tackled this problem.

Well done. I will read more of Katie Reus.

a good quick read
