4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,077 ratings

I hired her to distract my enemy. Now I'm determined to have her for my own.

I’m Maxon Reed—multimillionaire, mogul…shark. If a contract isn’t high profile and big money, I pass. Now that I’ve found the deal of a lifetime, I’m jumping. But one cutthroat bastard stands between me and success—my brother. I’ll need a totally devious ploy to distract cynical Griff. Then fate drops a luscious redhead in my lap who’s just his type.

Sassy Keeley Kent accepts my challenge to become Griff’s perfect girlfriend. But between the witty conversation and the days together, I’m having trouble resisting her. The quirky dreamer is everything I don’t tolerate…but she’s utterly charming. I more than want her; I’m desperate to own her. I’m not even sure how drastic I’m willing to get to make her mine—but I’m about to show her.

The first book in the More Than Words series is a gripping read that captivates readers. Mason and Keeley are two strong, dynamic characters that easily grab readers’ attentions and their romance is sweet at times and full of sizzling magnetic chemistry. Maxon and Keeley are lovable, complex characters and their relationship is full of scorching hot passion that heats up the pages but it is also a bit complex as it features an unusual twist with the male having an agenda that he is consumed by, one that is completely blocking his heart which keeps the emotional turmoil high throughout this story.The plot is steady paced and flows smoothly from beginning to end and the story is intriguing holding readers captive throughout as they wonder whether this couple will ever reach a happily ever after. With a couple of surprising twists that readers won’t see coming and character stubbornness ruling this relationship, this romance is quite an enjoyable read and since the author once again spins a wonderful tale full of fascinating characters and complex character interactions, readers can easily become caught up in the story. This romance is a standalone story but readers will definitely want to come back for more than the words of this series.

Another fantastic romance hit from Shayla Black! Whenever I read a SB book, I am transported to a beautiful plot, fabulous characters and delicious chemistry –With this brand new series , everything that I love and want from previous SB books is present and let me say, this is a awesome book and this is a fantastic and fresh new series one of my favorite authors.
MORE THAN WANT YOU , book 1 in the More than Words series is set in Hawaii.
Maxon Reed is a sexy and handsome man who is definitely a handful. He has become driven by greed, driven by work and this need to beat his estranged brother Griff, in the high price and luxury real estate market. One night Maxon meets College senior Keeley "Sunshine" Kent at a bar where she was singing. She is different from all the other women he has dated or lusted after. Something about her calls to him and he decides she would be perfect to distract his brother in this upcoming high priced real-estate deal which will help him best his brother. Then he ends up sleeping with Keeley. Plans change and somewhere along the line Maxon is the one having a hard time resisting her.
Keeley is so different from Maxon- she is a free spirit. She is light, she is air –she is joy to Maxon’s dark and stormy countenance—they are definite opposite attract types but they do connect and oh do they—Keeley helped Maxon change from the bitter and angry man to a man any woman would be proud to be with. But there are secrets, there are things that take this story from one level to a whole other level. More Than Want You is phenomenal in its writing and the layers that are there. There are several stories going on at one time. The main one is Keeley and Maxon’s—be prepared for the twists and turns this story will take and make sure to grab plenty of tissues, keep a bottle of wine and chocolates handy and oh yes, get ready for Griff’s story next. I loved this book, LOVED LOVED LOVED this story. Maxon was a hard man but as I read his back story to how he got this way, well, I wanted to hug both of them. SB has done it again and has brought me such pleasure in her books, this was such pleasure –now I cannot wait for Griff’s story!!!

My rating: 4.8 stars ****

"I can't be with someone who wants revenge more than they want me."

FINAL DECISION: If you allow yourself to get over Maxon being a major jerk, this book is a wonderful journey for his character. He learns what is really important in his life. His relationship with Keeley is rough and imperfect and finally wonderful.

THE STORY: Maxon Reed is a man on a mission -- to get a deal from his estranged brother. Maxon is willing to do just about anything -- including finding a woman to distract his brother. When Maxon meets Keeley Kent and there is an instant attraction between them and he knows that she is perfect for his plan. After convincing the reluctant Keeley to give his plan a change, Maxon spends weeks tutoring Keeley in exactly how to appeal to his brother. The problem is that every moment they spend together brings Maxon closer to realizing that Keeley is perfect for him. But will Maxon give up his plan of revenge in order to get the girl himself?

OPINION: I don't mind heroes who are jerks in the beginning of a romance book as long as they don't end up that way. Maxon is a world class jerk (though his brother has him beat). Intensely competitive with his estranged brother, Maxon clearly has no morals about using people (despite his belief that he does). His competition with his brother is primary -- before friends, before love, before anything and everything. The good news is that this book just throws Maxon's world into disarray. It never goes where he plans. And he ends the book a better person who is capable of love.

Keeley is almost the opposite of Maxon. Altruistic, emotional, willing to help and do anything for those she cares about. I like how she operates as Maxon's guide and conscience in many ways. While we get a bit from her point of view, the book is really about Maxon's journey (because he is the one who really needs the help). Keeley is more of a free spirit than the career driven Maxon, but she is also happier.

The relationship between Maxon and Keeley is complicated by Maxon's own inability to understand what he wants and needs and how to get there. I enjoyed seeing Maxon breaking down. He has a nasty background which doesn't excuse his behavior but makes it more understandable. The focus in this book is really on Maxon getting himself right and how his relationship with Keeley is the catalyst for that.

I enjoyed this book more as I got into it (Maxon was hard to like at first). By the end of the book, however, I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book also introduces the romance that is the subject of the second book in the series.

CONNECTED BOOKS: MORE THAN WANT YOU is the first book in the More Than Words series.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

Here we have Maxon and Keeley, and stubborn AF Maxon doesn’t know how to act, he meets sweet Keeley and although he is smitten by her she still doesn’t know how to move forward with whatever this is/could be. He is disconnected from his brother and has no one to go really connect with and talk to when it comes to his feels and emotions, he takes on a journey where he makes mistake after mistake and when he looses the girl he realizes he has lost it all…keep you rooting for the bad guy that in reality has simply been broken.

Great story! Looking forward to read more about the Reed’s siblings.
Their dad is such a jerk and bitter man. You sure turn Barclay into a hateful character well.

I have to admit, I didn't see the little twist coming at the end, and that is a rarity for me in books. But unfortunately, by the time it popped up, I was already checked out from their story. I think that I liked both main characters, and even some of the side characters (can totally see why there is a book for all the siblings) but I just wasn't into them as a couple. I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated only by a guy (it was like 97% told from his POV, so that was okay) which is kind of rare, but it was very well done. I have read other books in this [crossover] series, but I feel like they are too tame for my brain now, so I'm not sure if I'll read any more of them. But it's a good story if you're looking for something light, with low drama.

Didnt agree with the concept that a guy would hire someone to honeypot his brother even after being attracted to her. Not for me

Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2017
I have enjoyed other Shayla Black books, but I was really interested to see how this one was going to be in the contemporary romance genre! I really loved this story. Maxon is a complicated work-a-holic, while Keeley is more of a free spirit who always looks to see the good in people. I really enjoyed how these two came together, and there were several twists in it that I honestly did not even see coming. Maxon's complicated family life is a big centre of this story, as many of his hang-ups originate from his strained relationships with his father and his brother. Shayla wove a wonderful story about letting go of the past to find your future. I am really looking forward to the next story in this novel about Griff and Britta!

Maxon is major douche & has had a falling out with his brother Grif. They both vie to list a vast pty belonging to an estate. He knows his brother is easily distracted by women, so he seeks the help of Keely. From the start you could feel their connection. However does Maxons revenge have the power over his heart? So his journey begins.
You can't help but like Keely & the effect she has over him. You are also introduced to some other characters who will no doubt appear in future books.
Be warned their is a slight twist near the end. One I never saw coming.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Maxon Reedi is a multimillionaire shark looking to distract his brother from making an important deal. He decides that local singer Keeley Kent might be able to do the trick, but maybe he could sleep with her first...

“All I can think about is that beating Griff might mean losing Keeley.”

“...she’ll get that wanting her & wanting to screw my brother over don’t have to be mutually exclusive. After all, I’m not plotting to hurt her.”

But he is... so much so...

The story is told only from his point of view, & it’s a bit long to get going in the first half of the book. It’s his viewpoint, & you can’t help but think he’s egocentric, selfish... However, when we meet his father, it’s as if a switch is flipped. We can’t help but want him to be better, to do better.

This is a well written story about a man who just seems to make mistakes over & over, & we eventually want him to do well, to be better.
