“I was swept away by the romance! I loved BE MY LOVE and can't wait to read the other books in the series!" 5 stars

Come for a visit to Walker Island where you'll find stunning Pacific Northwest ocean views, men too intriguing to resist...and five close-knit sisters who are each about to find their one true love.

Hanna and Joel are supposed to be enemies. So then why does it feel like true love instead?

After four years on the Seattle mainland, when Hanna Walker returns to Walker Island to make a documentary about the infamous Peterson-Walker feud from the early 1950s, she's shocked to realize that passions still run high. Especially when it comes to Joel Peterson, the one man who is totally off-limits...but that she's never been able to stop dreaming about.

The last thing Joel wants is for Hanna to dredge up the past, but when he realizes she's determined to follow through with her documentary no matter what, he knows he has no choice but to join her. But despite vowing to hold back his growing feelings for her, as Joel works with Hanna to unravel the mystery of what really happened between their two families, he soon begins to see that love is an unstoppable force...and that sometimes two people are meant to be.

Lucy Kevin is the sweet pen-name of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Bella Andre (who writes the #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans).

Misconception, angst, a passion to stand again the test of time, and a love more powerful than history.

Bella Andre writing as Lucy Kevin is a wonderful writer. I give her five stars rating because I like her flair she puts into Be My Love. I think her story is well written with her characters coming alive on every page. They are well developed, full of passion, loyalty and overwhelming feelings of love.
Walker Island is home to Hanna Walker. A young, beautiful and talented documentary film maker, she’s coming home, after spending four years away going to school. This yearning she has to make this film, of her beloved home and family and their feud with the Petersons, is her chance to enter graduate school and her dream. Her grandfather William Walker II was engaged to Poppy Peterson, but instead of marrying Poppy he married Ava, Hanna's grandmother. This caused resentment between the two families. Hanna wants to uncover the truth of the feud in her documentary; however there was one problem, Joel Peterson, a young school girl’s crush. He’s everything she remembered yet now he’s devastatingly handsome, sexy and consists of the very essence of male. Can she convince him to notice her as a serious film maker? Should she keep her feelings hidden from Joel? Does she want to keep her feelings hidden?
Joel Peterson’s family was betrayed by the Walkers! William Walker was a lying, double crossing, and scoundrel by marrying another woman, Ava. However, when Hanna Walker comes home to Walker Island he knew she was going to manipulate the facts to portray her family in a better light. One afternoon a young, beautiful and sexy woman walks into his office and he realizes its Hanna Walker. The film she wanted to make wasn’t his only concern: his reaction to her was devastating. The only way Joel was going to allow Hanna to make her film and not skew it towards her family, is if he worked alongside the witty, vibrant and all woman, Hanna Walker. Is he willing to betray his family honor by following his desire to have her? Will escorting Hanna around be too much for Joel to resist? Can they both put the past behind Hanna and Joel or is it to arduous to overcome their love? Are they willing to take the risk of a life time on happiness and love?

Fun Beginning to Walker Island series

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015

First off, let me remind you that author Lucy Kevin is a pen name for another author, Bella Andre. I have enjoyed novels written under both names, each a bit different in style, and now you can too. Personally, I love to discover pen names of authors’ whose works I’ve enjoyed in the past. It really is like finding a brand new author to add to the list.

We already know some of the basics from the cover. Sixty-some years ago, Poppy Peterson and William Walker were to be wed. It would merge the two largest business families on Walker Island. But it never happened. William married another woman, Ava. The families were furious, and to add fuel to the fire of anger towards William and Ava, one morning Poppy took off in her boat and never returned. Neither the boat or her body were ever found. Poppy loved to write poetry. She left behind a final poem – one her family believed to actually be a suicide note.

And so began the now infamous Peterson-Walker Feud that continues to this day to divide Walker Island into sides.

Hanna Walker, the youngest Walker sister, loves filmmaking. She has finished her degree and is now attempting to be accepted into a post graduate program. She needs to finish one more documentary film, one with heart, one that shows her heart or her professor will not give his approval for her entrance into the program.

Joel Peterson’s heart belongs out on the ocean, at the wheel of one of his company’s ships. Yet, as the last surviving Peterson, and head of the company – his days are now spent behind a desk. It’s his duty, and duty is his family’s choice over dreams.

When Hanna returned to Walker Island to begin her documentary she quickly discovered that Joel had blocked her access to archives about his family. She now had no way to do any research from the Peterson’s side of this feud. She confronts Joel and challenges his to go along on one of her interviews with an islander to see how she questions them, the way she works and to see for himself that she is after the truth, not to slant it in favor of one side or the other. He accepts her challenge thinking it’s the fastest way to stop all of this nonsense.

The remainder of the story is how Hanna and Joel begin to unravel a decades old mystery to finally get to the truth. And fall in love along the way. I really enjoyed the mystery of Poppy and how the characters set about digging into the past when absolutely no one in Hanna’s family or the divided residents of the island wanted them to talk about the past. I had my suspicions early on, but that doesn’t matter, the telling of the story was fun, lighthearted, the impression of sex with no details and at times, very sad and well worth my time. I was entertained, and that was the entire point.

~What you, the reader, always must remember is this simple truth. Any review is one person’s opinion. You might feel the same or totally different. The only way to know for certain if any novel is for you – is for you to read it. This was my opinion of this particular book.~

Beautiful and Sweet Heartwarming Love Story!

Lately I have been on a New Adult and contemporary romance kick and after I made some recent purchases, the author Bella Andre popped up as a recommendation. I had never read her books and started looking more closely at them to see if I would like them. The Walker Island series also came up since they are written under Bella Andre's pen name Lucy Kevin. I decided to read Be My Love to see how I liked it and I have to say, I LOVED it! This book was an extremely fast read for me and it was easy to get swept away in the sweet romance of Hanna and Joel. I liked the added twist that they are from rival families and aren't supposed to like each other; however, Hanna needs Joel's help with her documentary and the two of them discover a lot more than they originally thought. I thought this was a really sweet romance story set in the Pacific Northwest and it was easy to picture the setting of Walker Island based on the descriptions in the book. If you prefer to read contemporary romance books without the sensual scenes, this would be a great book to read! I am already looking forward to reading the other books in this series as well as Bella Andre's books. I highly recommend this book and am glad I took the time to read this one!

For sixty years there was a family feud between the Walkers and the Petersons. Then determined film school student Hanna Walker has to do a documentary close to her heart. Therefore she returns to her home on Walkers Island and slowly reveals the true story of Poppy Peterson.
While doing that, she also comes closer to her high school crush Joel Peterson, the one man that is off limits to all Walker girls.

This wonderful romantic and tragic story is a real page turner. Can't wait to read the stories of the other Walker sisters.

A well written story. I felt like I was back on the west coast, and Walker Island sounds wonderful with a mysterios past. Is Poppy really dead as people say? I loved the sweet romance and the ending.

This is a sweet story which introduces five sisters from Walker Island and their grandmother..
In Be my love we meet Hanna, she left the island four years ago... now she's back to do a story on the family feud in the 1950s, between the Walkers and the Peterson's.. To do that she has to take a look at the archive records, just one problem... The person that can show her them is Joel... Joel Peterson and he won't let her drag his family name through the mud.. But he also can't fight the feelings he's having for her.. I loved this first book in the series and can't wait to read more from the Walkers!!
