Review: Captivating by Bella Matthews

Get ready to be swept off your feet by Captivating (Red Lips & White Lies Book 4) by Bella Matthews! This tantalizing enemies-to-lovers romance follows the fiery Lilah Ryan, America’s sweetheart, as she returns to her hometown seeking solace only to find her childhood nemesis turned bodyguard, Killian St. James, waiting in the wings. With paparazzi on her tail and a stalker lurking, Lilah quickly realizes that the only safe place is in Killian’s arms, but of course, it’s never that simple!

From the moment these two are thrown together, the tension crackles like electricity. Killian is not just breathtakingly handsome; he’s the MMA champion with a heart of gold. As they navigate their complex feelings and the past that threatens to tear them apart, I found myself rooting for their second chance at love. Their banter is witty and infectious, and when the heat turns up, oh boy, the steamy scenes left me breathless! 

Fans of Matthews will revel in the familiar faces from previous books while falling head over heels for Lilah and Killian's explosive connection. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, with plenty of spice and a dash of suspense that will keep you flipping pages until the very end. Bella Matthews has outdone herself once again—prepare to be captivated!
