More Than Want You (Reed Family Reckoning Book 1) Kindle Edition
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.

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 voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
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.
Their dad is such a jerk and bitter man. You sure turn Barclay into a hateful character well.
Top reviews from other countries
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.
“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.
