(Cole Brothers, #1)
Publication date: November 18th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

UNRAVEL YOU is the enthralling sequel to LOVE OVER LATTES and can be read as a standalone. It is also book one in the Cole Brothers series, a new family saga, binge reading experience: 5 brothers, 5 full-length novels in 5 months.
College graduate Valentina never expected to fall for the hot as hell and intimidating Derek Cole when she accepted his offer to rent his property.
From cottage to mansion, Valentina is certain she doesn’t deserve the fairytale unfolding. But Derek gets what he wants… and he wants her.
He’s “the one” for her, but before she says I do, she has to survive a month long trip to his family’s estate in Atlanta. Gaining approval from four brothers and an over-protective mother might just be her hardest test yet.
For billionaire Derek Cole, this homecoming is a chance to mend the damage he caused when he walked away from the family business.
Just when they think they have a handle on their happily ever after… their past and future collide.
Note: This is a steamy romance with explicit sensual scenes, happily ever after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger. Can be read as a standalone.

This book is first in a series but it is also a continuation from the book Love Over Lattes. I honestly wish that I had been able to read that book prior to reading this one. There were some bits in the story that I think would have made more sense if I had. I would recommend reading it prior to this book. This story is still great nonetheless, but a little more perspective and background is always great. 

I loved these characters. I really connected with Valentina. She is a strong female lead, which I always love. She is a great mother and a very determined person. Derek is very motivated and can come off as a little too overprotective but you can tell that it is coming from a good place. All of the secondary characters in this were so delightful. The story really wouldn't have been what it was without them. It really makes me excited for the rest of this series. 

Derek and Valentina had some great chemistry. I loved seeing them navigate this new part of their lives together. It isn't easy and things come at them but they work their way through them. 

Overall, this was a great start to the Cole Brothers series. I can see some wonderful potential after getting to know the secondary characters in the story and I look forward to more books in this series!
