This was such an incredibly emotional and intense romance.
They both fell hard and fast and then had to live with those intense emotions.
This forbidden love, second chance romance was filled with chemistry, passion. Love, family, friendship, suspense, and snark.
I was hooked from the very beginning and loved every intense moment.
The narration was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have picked better narration.

I enjoyed getting to dig into Stone and Tinsley's story. I liked the push and pull between them while fighting those forbidden feelings, as Tinsley's ex is Stone's brother. This creates some tension, and conflict that keeps the pages turning. There's a lot of heat, but sweet as well. These two have such a connection, and it's a journey for them, dealing with outside issues, and just wanting to be happy. It's a great spicy read from start to finish!

I think J. Saman's books are about to become my new obsession. This is the second book of hers I’ve read and I am so in love with her stories. This book had me hooked from the start. The chemistry between Stone and Tinsley was fire. My favourite thing about forced proximity stories is the strong emotional bond that usually develops as a result, and this was no exception. By the end of that trip, there was no doubt that those two were meant to be together. The first 20% of the book is really exciting and then it calms down a bit, but the author’s storytelling is so captivating that I was fully engaged throughout.
This is a next gen series spinning off 3 previous series (The Edge series, the Boston's Billionaire Bachelors series and the Irresistibly Yours series) so there are a lot of cousins and uncles and aunties that we meet and I’m desperate to go back and read their stories because they're such a fantastic group of characters. (This is the first book I’ve read in this series.) They're that large, nosy, bickering family that loves and supports each other fiercely and I can’t wait to see more of that.
I love the way the spicy scenes were written. This book doesn’t have that many spicy scenes, but they are intense! those scenes really highlighted the strength of their physical and emotional connection. Stone and Tinsley have a love so strong that years apart and all the obstacles in their path can’t dim. It was really lovely to see.
Tinsley and Stone are great characters. They were both born into money and status, but they’re still relatable. they both have their flaws, but they’re inherently caring people who love fiercely and put the ones they love before themselves. It was nice to see those same loved ones, push them towards their happily ever after.
I’ve listened to both narrators before and really enjoy their work. This performance was no exception. They put a lot of emotion into their performance and really brought the story to life. I particularly liked Jason’s portrayal of Stone in the spicy scenes, all dominant and attentive, as well as his softer side that we see in how he cares for his patients. One of the side characters is British and both narrators do a very convincing English accent.
I can't wait to read the other books in the series. This book is great if you like flawed, emotionally aware characters who learn from their mistakes, love deeply and are protective of the ones they love.

I most certainly have not but I am significantly more interested in learning if it up the chances I could capture a Stone Fritz for myself!
Stone Fritz is following his family legacy and is now a pediatric resident at one of the most prestigious hospitals in Boston but when he makes a mistake that could have been life altering, he is asked to step away to gather and refocus himself. Tinsley Monroe is not only Stone’s brother’s Ex, but the hottest pop star on the planet; and that comes with some seriously unwanted attention & a team that is attempting to control her every move. Both need an escape, and both end up on Stone’s boat. For 10 days, these two sail together, escaping reality and escaping into each other but when they come back to shore, reality comes crashing down.
Undeniably Infatuated take forced proximity to a WHOLE new level as these two are confined on a luxury sailboat together for the first third of the book. And WOW sparks sure do fly! Their attraction was combustible, steamy, and oh so HOT! But that wasn’t all, they got to know one another, confessed their struggles to each other, & gained an understanding of each other that no one else had, even their friends and family. I loved the bond they created that carried throughout the book, especially Stone’s unwavering support and encouragement of Tinsley to stick up for herself and his protectiveness that far exceeded their time on the boat.
As always, the inclusion of the friends and family in this next generation series is always a treat. Octavia is THE BEST meddling grandma out there and I love seeing the characters I came to love in other series as parents. The underlying story of how Forrest handled his brother being with his ex, the woman he loved for most of his life, truly tore me up inside and my heart hurt with the unexpected twist so, I truly hope his story is coming up in this series because that tender hearted man deserves someone special! Either way I am excited to see what J. Saman comes up with for the rest of this series!

We finally have Stone's book. I knew it would be good, but honestly, it was a beautiful and spicy story. Every time I read Julie Saman's books I fall in love with its characters.
The story takes us 2 years before the actual events. Stone had some difficulties at work and wanted to get away to think and rest. Tinsley was overwhelmed by her famous star life and wanted to gather her thoughts for some time to decide the course of action of her life. They meet at Stone's boat and, after a little bit of persuasion from her side, they sail away together for 10 days. That time was enough for them to develop strong feelings, even though they knew it was forbidden. Because, after all, she was his brother's ex and they couldn't cross the line. But the heart wants what it wants, and those 10 days together were magical. Sadly, they went over really quickly and had to return to their normal lives with the promise not to communicate with each other.
The first time they met after 2 long years, it was like they never parted. Both of them try to fight their feelings, but never succeed. But when danger starts lurking around Tinsley, they have to live together and be fakely engaged. They still feel the same lust taking over and their feelings have not changed. Even though none of them admits it (even for themselves). Their love is still there and it's deeper. What better opportunity for them to finally let go to their fascinating and beautiful love? Because one thing is for sure - these two were meant to be together.
Let me tell you about the spice 🌶️. OMG...the spice was so damn good. Stone definitely has a filthy mouth, and he's still bossy in the bedroom 🥵. He wants a full submission from Tinsley, and what do you know? She is ready to provide it. In a very steamy and kinky way 🥵. I loved every single scene with them together. Their passion was a raging fire, ready to be explored.
I thought those series couldn't get any better, but I was wrong. From now on, officially, Stone and Tinsley are my number one couple.
There is one thing that bothered me - Forest's attitude towards Tinsley. I know they were together a long time ago, and they broke up, but that didn't give him the right to act this way. He is not her boyfriend anymore, she can do whatever she wants and be with whoever she desires...even if he is his big brother. I am very happy with the fact he finally decided to get help and I still hope we will see his story some time in the future ♥️.
Overall, I loved "Undeniably Infatuated" and I can't wait for the next book within the series.

“You’re my goddamn north. I have no direction without you. No path forward. Without you, I’m lost. I’ve been lost. Only the irony behind that is that you made me feel found and then took it all away.”
4.25 stars.
I think this is my favorite in the series so far, I loved Stone and Tinsley and I loved their story!
I also think Mason and Sorel's book is the first one I've been looking forward to in this entire series tbh!

"I am undeniably infatuated with Tinsley Monroe and I'm not sure there's a way to stop it"
I loved Stone and Tinsley so much.
This series just keeps getting better and better!
I love this family and the side characters. I never know what to expect when reading a J. Saman book (I really like to go in blind) but I was not expecting such an emotional rollercoaster, or her having a stalker. But I enjoyed every second. So much chemistry and banter between Stone and Tinsley. The spice was so SPICY. His nickname for her "Little Rose" made me melt.
I cannot wait for the next one in this series!!

This story follows Stone and Tinsley. Two years ago, needing an escape from the world and to find himself again, Stone took a ten-day trip on his sailboat. When he set sail, he didn’t expect to find his brother’s ex-girlfriend hiding on board. She had always been off-limits, but both of them were trying to escape in search of peace and quiet. Little did they know this trip would change everything.
What a brilliant read and fantastic audiobook! Out of the series so far, this is my favorite. I loved Stone and Tinsley’s chemistry right from the start. The sailboat storyline was amazing. I'm obsessed with the nickname "Little Rose," and the spice in this book was stepped up—I devoured every moment. The only downside is that I guessed her stalker from the beginning; I just had a gut feeling, and I was right. Looking forward to the next book in the series. I’m really enjoying J. Saman’s writing.

The Fritz family never disappoints, they may be a well known family, but they are down to earth and close knit. They needed a break from their life so they have a chance to regroup and figure out their next move. Neither of them got what they expected. These two have chemistry that is undeniable and banter that gets them into trouble. I loved how they told each other their feelings even though it did take them a long time. I mean this book spans four years, two of which is at the beginning of the book. I think Stone and Tinsley were destined for each other and I felt bad about his brother getting hurt in the process. This was a well written story with a few twists and turns. I love the layers that is added to this story with each book and I cannot wait to see more of these characters.
