Three years ago at a New Year's Eve party they had a moment and kissed at the stroke of midnight.
Now she's back and everything is…irresistibly complicated.
Lily Montgomery has danced her way through life, getting opportunities that few get, but that doesn't mean she hasn't earned every single one. But with a career-ending injury, she returns home to nurse her wounds and figure out what comes next. What she didn't expect was seeing the ruggedly handsome man she impulsively kissed three years ago and the simmering attraction that still burns between them.
Noah Wylder is committed to his five-year-plan – climbing the corporate ladder at Montgomerys. Three years ago, that plan almost got derailed thanks to an unexpected kiss with Lily. He's since put in the work to redeem himself and stay under the radar. When she suddenly reappears, he can't seem to escape her or the memory of their kiss. He knows in order to keep his job, he has to make sure he stays away from the alluring woman that's never left his mind.
When Lily comes to him needing his help in figuring out what is happening within the Montgomery family, sneaking around leads to heated glances and harmless kisses. Will they realize that the connection they share is real, lasting, and impossible for either of them to resist?

Great read!
A lovely story!
Endearing yet dramatic
IRRESISTIBLE LOVE is the first instalment in Samantha Chase’s contemporary, adult WYLDER LOVE romance series- spin off from the author’s THE MONTGOMERY BROTHERS and the BAND ON THE RUNS series. This is businessman Noah Wylder, and dancer Lily Montgomery. Noah Wylder was first introduced in A MERRY MONTGOMERY CHRISTMAS, and his brother Simon ONE MORE CHANCE /BAND ON THE RUN 4. You do not have to have read the original series to follow the story.
Told from omniscient third person perspectives (Noah and Lily) IRRESISTIBLE LOVE focuses on the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Approximately three year earlier, a New Year’s Eve kiss between our couple was followed by Lily Montgomery’s disappearance into her dancing, and Noah always on edge working for the large and successful Montgomery family but Lily’s return to the family fold in the wake of a potentially career ending injury meant facing off against one another at every opportunity. Covering for the Montgomery’s while the family was on vacation, Noah never expected to be pulled into Lily’s schemes as she endeavors to uncover her grandfather’s secrets before the family gets home. What ensues is the second chance (of a sorts) relationship between Noah and Lily, and the potential fall-out as Lily struggles with her future, pushing Noah aside for the sake of her career.
The world building follows several paths including Lily’s imploding dance career and a possible career ending injury she refuses to accept; as well as Noah’s battle with low self esteem, Lily’s immature attitude and over the top reactions, and the secrets the Montgomery patriarch had hoped to keep quiet.
The relationship between Noah and Lily is tempestuous at best. Three years earlier, a New Year’s Eve kiss between our couple sent Lily into a tail spin, and Noah became the target of Lily’s over protective father. Fast forward to present day, Noah and Lily struggle to let go of the past but find themselves working together with a gentle nudge from the man in charge. There are no $ex scenes, everything is implied.
There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters including William Montgomery, and his brother Robert; several generations of Montgomery siblings (Mac, Lucas, Jason), as well as the return of Noah’s brothers Simon and Jax, and Lily’s friend and fellow dancer Drea.
IRRESISTIBLE LOVE is a story of secrets and lies, obsession and power, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is endearing yet dramatic; the romance is subtle; the characters are struggling but charismatic and determined.
