Loved it. Both Seth and Bobbie jo are great lead characters. Strong in their own right, each unwilling to be vulnerable in the beginning, whilst the relationship is fresh then compelled more so to open up. Loved how their relationship progressed with outside influences playing their part. Austin added the cuteness whilst Emily and jake and the rest of Bobbie jo’s Boys managed to add the humour and support. The right amount of steam, humour and reality kept the story not just engaging but interesting too.
A must read for fans of the Texas romance.

I received an arc from Netgalley. When a man falls in love with you and with your son you definitely don’t want to let him go.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but when the strong silent type comes in to protect the woman he is falling for and will do anything to keep her this book was hard to put down.

Definitely a book you will want to read.

I'm so sorry because I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I didn't like Seth and honestly, I expected better from Junior's nephew.
I liked Austin no matter who his biological dad is but I just didn't think that kids automatically trust strangers.
It was too quick for me. The whole thing was very insta love and Bobbie Jo didn't even know the guy when she is already fantasizing about him.

I received a copy of LAW OF ATTRACTION on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

Four stars and here's why:

LAW OF ATTRACTION will keep you turning the pages! Alison Bliss delivers a heart-warming story about a sexy single mom, a cute little boy, and a handyman that’s got skills in and out of the bedroom.

While this is the third story in the “Tangled in Texas” series, it’s my first book by this author. It can be read as a stand-alone story, but I’m about to hit up Amazon for books one and two – lol! It’s full of humor, a side of suspense, and lots of smoking-hot chemistry to keep the pages turning.

If you love hella-hot guys, sweet yet savvy girls, and a side of sexy romance, then this book is for you! Highly recommend!

QUEUE THE SWOON!!!

Oh goodness. What can I say about this contemporary romance?
Swoon worthy bad-ass overprotective hero meets independent and driven single mom makes one hellavu entertaining read !!

Here's the official summary:
For single mom Bobbie Jo Weston, finding a husband is not on her to-do list. She's focused on turning a run-down chicken farm into a Bed & Breakfast. She agrees to let a friend’s nephew stay with her in exchange for his handyman skills, but she wasn’t counting on the super sexy Seth Landry being that guy.
Bobbie Jo is a single mom trying to co-parent with an absent and selfish Ex. She's headstrong, confident, and stubborn as all heck!

Seth is initially very mysterious, yet a huge flirt. Their initial meeting is met with explosive chemistry and their innuendo-laden banter between him and Bobbie Jo kept met turning the pages. But as Seth and Bobbie's friendship grow, eventually Seth's shady layers are peeled back to reveal a broken golden heart that Bobbie Joe and her son start to glue together.

Be prepared when all the build-up comes to a crazy climax that I did not expect. Lots of action, suspense, and appearances of prior bad-ass Heroes from books 1 and 2 kept me reading non-stop until the beautiful, sweet end.

Although this is the 3rd book in this series, it can be read as a stand-alone. It has been awhile since I read the first the first book of this series, Rules of Protection. Although did do a re-read of book one before starting this book, it is not necessary.

4 STARS!

<i>Law of Attraction</i> is another great addition to the Tangled in Texas series. This time around we get single mom Bobbie Jo's story. She has agreed to take on a boarder; the nephew of Junior. To her surprise it is the pantry melting man she met in the bar the night before.

Seth needs a place to lay low for a while. He quickly becomes attached to Bobbie's son. And he can't fight his attraction to Bobbie Jo. Unfortunately, he has secrets that could threaten the two people he cares about.

Overall I enjoyed this story. Bobbie Jo and Seth had great chemistry. I also loved that Seth was Native American. There aren't enough of these heroes in contemporary romance.

A sweet romance. It was a fun story with a little drama and angst that keeps you turning the pages. The characters are fun and easy to get invested in!

LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED

Gosh there are no words for this book! First let me say I'm so glad the author wrote in Austin's character to the story and gave him a pretty significant role. All too often the children are given minor rolls and in fact are rarely present in the book. This story portrayed what it is really like to be a single mother and to have a 4 year old who is very inquisitive.

Seth...you want to hate the cocky bastard in the beginning of the book. He's so full of himself it's sickening. But then we see that side of him back down as it feels more comfortable around Bobbie Jo. We see that for the most part he uses this side of him to keep the focus off of who he really is and allows him to put the focus on the other person. Oh, but seeing him with Austin....adorable.

Great read! Loved Bobbie's strong character and her desire to not rely on everyone else for help.

Law of Attraction, Tangled in Texas by Allison Bliss
Review by Erin Hurst

This was a lovely read about single moms and their fierce Momma Bear instincts and the people who love them. I really felt for Bobbie Jo in her desire to be a good mom and citizen. This was my first time reading a book by this author.

This book features Bobbie Jo and her son Austin. She's currently content to work on her old farm to turn it into a working bed and breakfast while providing for her son. But her friends conspire to get her some much needed help around the farm. Seth is her boarder working on the farm for Bobbie Jo. He's got many skills...

Bobbie Jo is a confident and loving mom to a precocious four year old Austen. Austen is a great kid, and Bobbie Jo does her absolute best for him. She tries to have Austen's father Jeremy be a part of his son's life, but Jeremy has other plans. Seth is a man with a past, but a true set of morals and skills. Each of the characters had endearing details and backstory (well, except Jeremy). They each worked well within the story.

I loved Bobbie Joe and Seth's first interaction, even if it was anonymous. It started off their character chemistry with a bang! From there it ran hot and cold, as life often does. The ups and downs, highs and lows of their romance worked for the story line and their characters.

Ms. Bliss had a lovely style of writing to draw the reader in. She wrote her story in a steady, easy to read manner. There were a few moments of mystery, which just added to the story and characters. It all added up to a great, solid, easy, fun romance read!

While I enjoyed this book and all the characters, it didn't stand out as an amazing read or a book I'll come back to re-read later. It was a good solid read with all the right details provided to make a sexy boarder meets single mom book. I'd be interested to read other books by the author, as the characters had some interesting friends I'd be interested in finding out more about.

A view years back I read the first book in the Tangled in Texas series ‘Rules of Protection’. I seriously devoured that book and couldn’t get enough. I just really loved it. So when the second book ‘Playing With Fire’ came out I immediately started reading that one too. And it was just as good. Although I have been reading less due to my pregnancy I saw that the third book in the series ‘Law of Attraction’ came out and I knew I just had to read it. So I was super excited when I got approved to reading this book and I started ASAP.

In ‘Law of Attraction’ we read the story of Bobbie Jo Weston. We read a little about her in the previous books, so I was happy that this book was all about her. Bobbie Jo is a single mom and has had enough of the bad men she seems to attract. All she wants to do now is focus on her little boy and getting her Bed & Breakfast going. But she definitely needs some help with that. So when a handyman comes to town, in need of a place to stay it seems like the perfect deal. Seth will help Bobbie getting the Bed & Breakfast going, and Seth has a place to stay. But what they didn’t expect and wanted was the chemistry that is flowing between them. And there are many secrets in Seth’s life. Soon it’s getting harder and harder to stay only ‘friends’.

Every time I get further in a series, I always expect the books to get a little less good. The excitement of the little town and the characters gets less because you already know lots about them. But you still want to keep reading because you like the characters and want to know what happens to them. Well, in this series the books definitely don’t get any less good. They possible get even better and I loved reading every single page of ‘Law of Attraction’.

Alison Bliss has a way of making her characters come to life and I honestly felt like I knew Bobbie Jo. And the chemistry between Bobbie Jo and Seth was definitely intense and so much fun to read about. I loved their story and everything about it. Obviously it was also fun to get to read a little about the characters from the previous books to, but above all I loved to read Bobbie Jo’s story finally. Bobbie Jo is a tough woman who has made some bad choices in the past. But all she wants to do now is to make a good life for her little boy. And I loved how determined she was.

This book had it all. Romance, friendship, humor, excitement and plenty of steaming scenes that makes you want to keep on reading.
If you haven’t read a book in this series yet, you should definitely start reading. These books can be read as standalones too, but I definitely would start with the first one.

3.5 stars

Law of Attraction by Alison Bliss is a sweet, fun and entertaining read.

The storyline held my interest, the writing is well done and I really liked all the characters in the book.
Watching Bobbi and Seth's unfold had me turning the pages late into the night, they warmed my heart with their love and I was very happy they found each other and how perfect they were as a family.

Law of Attraction is a quick, sweet and heartwarming read and I highly recommend it.

*Thank you to the publisher for the advance copy.*

This one has all the right mix I so enjoy in a romance with the characters doing the taking. Bobbie Jo and Seth will have you going along with them in their story as they slowly heat up the pages that you turn. As her handyman he will make even us drool but he also is intriguing. His background is the type I like to read in my alpha male. Danger also will find its way in with you then stuck to them as they lead. There is also plenty of sweetness to fill it in between the cracks making this one well rounded read.

Bobbie Jo Weston is determined to achieve her dream of turning the place she owns into a bed and breakfast. However, doing it alone isn't easy. But when she finds herself with a houseguest who is good with his hands and knows his way around a hammer, things begin to progress. Yet, Seth has secrets and Bobbie doesn't trust easily. Will he be able to convince Bobbie to take a chance on him or will they walk away from their shot at happy ever after?

Although I haven't read the previous two books of this series, I found this book could easily be read as a stand-alone. Really, and right from the beginning, this story drew me in, as the heroine is determined to go things alone, but she needs a night of fun. Just one night to let her hair down with a man that she'll - hopefully - never have to see again. Will things work out the way she's hoping? However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine come face-to-face for the first time that I absolutely loved, as there's plenty of chemistry between Bobbie Jo and Seth, which had me wondering what would happen between them.

As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters back stories, as the father of the heroine's child is an absolute jerk that has put her through a lot and is still putting her through a lot while the hero has secrets that could end up getting people he cares about hurt. Moreover, the heroine is feisty, resilient, courageous and I liked how determined she was to keep things platonic with the hero, and yet, he's hard to resist. I also liked how good of a mom she is and that she would do anything to protect her son, especially when it comes to the battle she faces with her child's father. Yet, what I liked most of all about the heroine was the close friendships she has with several of the secondary characters that would do anything for her.

While the hero, he has secrets that could come back to bite him and it seems that the past will always have a hold on him. Will he be able to keep Bobbie Jo and her son safe? Furthermore, the hero is confident, cocky and I liked how determined he was to win the heroine over, even though there's a chance he could hurt her because he's a drifter and incapable of staying in one place for too long. I also liked how protective he is of the heroine and that he would do anything to keep her and her son safe. Including making sure her son's father doesn't make any more trouble for the heroine than he already has.

Overall, Ms. Bliss has delivered a really good read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was powerful; the scorching romance heats up the pages with plenty of heat and passion; and the ending had me loving the lengths the hero would go to in order to keep the heroine safe, even if it means he could lose the heroine's trust in him. Yet, in saying that, I liked how things worked out for the best for these two, as Seth isn't about to let Bobbie Jo get away. He wants the heroine and her son in his life forever and isn't above proving that with his heartwarming words. However, it was the epilogue that wrapped this story up wonderfully, as the hero and heroine have come so far in their relationship and have so much to be happy for, especially since Seth got his wish. I would recommend Law of Attraction by Alison Bliss, if you enjoy the mysterious strangers trope, the sexy protector trope or books by authors Rachel Higginson, Tee O'Fallon, Scarlett Cole and Layla Hagen.

Bobbie Jo, a single mom, has quite the to-do list, but finding a husband is not on it. She's too busy to sleep at times, okay, maybe not really, it just feels like it. She's determined to make a bed and breakfast out of a chicken farm, yes, she knows how crazy that sounds. When a friend asks for a favor, a place for her nephew to stay, she agrees as his handyman skills will come in well, handy. Sexy Seth is not at all who she was picturing.

Seth is quite skilled, just not really with the tools his temporary landlord was led to believe. He's a retired member of a group of former soldiers and he needs a place to hide, err stay for a while he continues struggling with the ghosts of his past. Bobbie doesn't exactly trust men, and though she has reason and he is lying to her, as much as he wants to show her he isn't like any she's met before, he can't. He's not staying permanently.

But their close proximity makes their chemistry even harder to ignore, and finally they act on it, exploring their growing feelings for one another. Even if Bobbie is scared that he'll be the next man to walk out of her life, knowing this time it would destroy her. Unfortunately, as much as they love being together, Seth's presence creates problems of a different kind, a dangerous kind.

Can Seth protect the two people that have come to mean the world to him? How will Bobbie's son feel about another male in her life? Will they hit it off? Can Bobbie risk her heart again? Will Seth take a chance even knowing who or what may come after him? Is a HEA possible?

One-click now and follow along as two people, both with defensive walls for different reasons, must choose whether the love they could find is worth the risk they may not.

This book is adorable and I loved it. It's a story of a single mom and a drifter who comes to town for the summer. Things were not supposed to get complicated but the moment they saw each other they couldn't deny the chemistry and attraction between them. Things will definitely get complicated there is no doubt in that.
It's a very well-written novel and all the characters are amazing. I loved every conversation between Emily and Bobbie Jo. Their friendship is one of the highlights of the book, at least until Seth and Bobbie gets better acquainted. ;) After that it becomes a lot romantic and the ending is also perfect. All in all a great book!

Law of Attraction started off a little rough for me. It sort of dragged at the beginning and I was worried I wasn't going to end up liking it. Oh, how wrong I was. Law of Attraction was enjoyable and had a very interesting and unique-ish story.

Bobbie Jo had a one-night stand and ended up pregnant. The baby daddy? A piece of crap who wants nothing to do with Bobbie or his son. With Bobbie not growing up with a father, she wants to make sure her son has everything he could ever want. However, starting her own bed and breakfast is a lot harder to do on your own. When a friend needs his nephew to stay with her for the summer she agrees if he'll work around the house. No problem right? Except, the moment Bobbie sets eyes on her new housemate, sparks go flying.

I really liked Bobbie Jo and felt like she was always making decisions that were best not just for her but for her son. Sometimes children get put into books and they become a bit of a back burner in the story. That didn't happen in this story at all. I felt like the story really focused on the son's role in both Bobbie's and Seth's life.

I really enjoyed Seth and Bobbie's relationship. They started off with a quick attraction that turned into a lot more over the course of the book. Their relationship didn't feel rushed. I also like that the couple twists in this story didn't follow the usual predictive progression.

Overall, enjoyable story with a unqiue storyline and characters.

Law of Attraction was a quick but enjoyable read. With hints of mystery and suspense, a touch of danger and a whole lot of sweet and steamy - it was the perfect summer read. Though this book is the third in a series, it can definitely standalone - as I have not read the previous books myself and had no problems with this one.

Bobbie Jo is over men, she's not concerned with dating any more, just wants to get her B&B going and raise her son as best she can. That doesn't mean she's not tempted by the mysterious hot guy she meets on one of her free nights - but when he leaves her unfulfilled with a goodbye, she figures a fling wasn't meant to be. That is, of course, until he shows up at her house the next day, as her summer guest.

Seth is mysterious, he's got secrets, he's led an interesting life, but deep down you can see he's one of the good ones. I really enjoyed learning this character and about his past. I really enjoyed his interactions with Bobbie and her son.

With just enough angst and drama to keep me hooked, Law of Attraction delivered a different spin on similar themed books which made me fall harder for these two characters and root for a win for them both. I also really enjoyed some of the side characters and will be going back to read the rest of this series so I can hopefully get to know them better.

Bobbie Jo Weston has always dreamed of opening her own B&B. As a single mom, working full-time and raising her son hasn't allowed a lot of extra time or money to realize her dream. When her boss approaches her with a proposition of free work for room and board for his nephew, she can hardly say no. Until she lays eyes on Seth, the sexiest man she's ever seen.

Seth, a retired Resistance military specialist, is a wonderer. Never one to stay in one place too long, Seth offers his construction skills in return for room and board until he leaves on another adventure. Although Bobbie Jo is not sure about letting a complete stranger live with her and her young son, she knows her boss to be a good person and figures his nephew is too. Their chemistry is off the charts, but she knows Seth is keeping secrets. Having had bad luck with men in the past, Bobbie Jo pushes Seth away. Will they be able to put their trust issues aside or will their pasts catch up with them?

LOVED the suspense of this story!!! I loved the chemistry and Seth's ability to break down Bobbie Jo's walls. I laughed out loud when Seth was left to care for Bobbie Jo's son while she worked!!! The house was destroyed, he learned a few curse words, but fun was had. Even though Seth was keeping his past "job" a secret and it comes back to bite him in the butt, Bobbie Jo drove me crazy. At times, I felt as though she thought she did no wrong. All in all, very well written. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

I was drawn in by Bobbie Jo’s strength and determination to build a good life for her and her son. A one-night stand with a jerk leaves her a single mom but she embraces it, no matter what challenges are in her way. She buys a rundown farm to turn it into a Bed and Breakfast but has run out of money for all the repairs. Step in a good friend, Junior, who’s nephew, Seth needs a place to stay and is a handy man. She never expects Seth to be the sexy guy she encountered at the bar. Seth is a tough nut to crack, he carries a quiet confidence while being incredibly built and sexy. Bobbie would love to uncover his secrets as she gets to know him and he embraces her and her son, Austin. Seth says he doesn’t do long-term but will being around Bobbie and Austin change his mind. I loved how their relationship had to build as they both had trust issues. I also appreciated Bobbie’s desire to stand on her own and build the life she wanted for her and Austin. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review
