Attachment Theory is the second book in the Brodie Brothers Trilogy. This can be read as a stand alone, but has characters already established in the previous book.
Dylan is an actor. He’s very swoony, self-assured, and self-aware. You gotta love a Hero who’s in love with being in love. Unfortunately for him, he falls in love with his female co-stars and after the project is over, the relationship fizzles, so he decides to seek out therapy. That’s where he runs into Scarlett, a therapist, whom he met-cute three years ago in a grocery store. When single-mom Scarlett first met Dylan, she was just getting over a divorce and now not only is she his therapist, she feels he’s too young for her (6 year age gap).
Even though the relationship is essentially forbidden, they can’t help their attraction to each other, especially since we learn they’ve both thought about each other over the years.
It wouldn’t be a Kayley Loring book without humor (Brodie Family texts are back in full effect) and steam, so expect lots of laughs and chemistry that is off the charts.
I love their families, especially Scarlett’s mom and dad. Scarlett’s 6 year old, Noah, is adorable with his fart jokes and his love for Mr. Noodles.
It’s always fun to get cameos from the Name in Lights Series. I love me some Lazy Wingmen.
I’m a fan of any book that promotes mental health and/or therapy. I liked that they both seek counseling for one reason or another. That shows vulnerability, strength, and a willingness for growth in these characters.
As much as I really enjoyed the character growth in this book, I would have liked to see more growth in their relationship itself, but overall, it’s another solid book from Kayley. I’ve been a fan for a while now and will continue one-clicking anything she has to throw at us.
There’s one more Brodie brother to go in this series. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the oldest Brodie sibling, Miles.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so much fun from beginning to end. Dylan and Scarlett have instant chemistry from the moment they met and even though Scarlett tries to fight it she can’t. I love the relationship Dylan forms with Noah, Scarlett’s son, their first meeting had me laughing so hard. The text threads were absolutely delightful, especially Mama Brodie and hands down my favorite part of the book. The last epilogue had me swooning so hard. Kayley does a perfect job of mixing comedy and romance, I’m always looking forward to reading/listening to one of her books.
I loved every moment of this multi-cast audio. Zachary Webber and Emily Woo Zeller blew me away with their performances as Dylan and Scarlett. Connor, Jason, Teddy, Mackenzie and Emma added so much to this audio as the supporting cast. The text threads were absolute perfection. This was 5-star listen and highly recommend.

Kaylee Loring hit this one out of the ballpark. Whoever had the idea to have this giant cast narrate book is a genius and should be given a raise. I own both the e-book and the audiobook, but I waited to listen to it first. I’m so glad I did! Dylan Brodie was the hero I’ve been waiting for. I fell in love with him almost immediately. He was real and just a bit damaged. He made me laugh as did so many other characters in this book. I’ve put it on my comfort read list as well as my would read again list and I plan on listening again anytime I need to smile.

Comedy and swoon galore! I love Dyan and Scarlett!!
Kayley has this unique and utterly impressive ability to bring a joke, story, sweet time, cleaver tidbit, and swoony moment full circle. The way she connects her stories and interweaves these details is spectacular. There was so much of that in Attachment Theory, I found myself grinning like a fool throughout the book. So many characters who were introduced in the first book of the series have a role in this one. They stay true to their character and enhance the story. This only further added to the grinning like a fool.
Dylan Brody is a dream. He’s not your typical male actor in a story like this. He does have a history of falling for his costars, but it’s not for the obvious reasons. He loves love. He wants to love big, and he finds connection with those costars. He is usually the one that gets broken up with after a show has wrapped, but he is always willing to try again.
Scarlett is so relatable. I love her as a lead. I love that she is so smart and levelheaded at times, but also is a hot mess and a little nutty. Her punk garage band, the first song, instantly made me feel connected to her. It’s perfection and relatable and crazy and hilarious. I love that she was a loving, overwhelmed mom. I want to be her friend and feel overwhelmed and goofy together.
This love story of Dylan and Scarlett was really good. It was a younger man, older woman story, but in some ways he was so rationale and level headed it seemed that it could have been the other way around. He helped Scarlett grow and trust, and she showed him what true love is. I loved them, I loved their story.

Laughs, heat, chemistry, plenty of swoony moments. Attachment Theory is a book that you just can’t put down and leaves you feeling good all over.
Dylan Brodie is sweet, charming and just hands down swoony; he is also a serial dater. Scarlett Shepherd is a single mom, sometimes a spicy disaster when it comes to her life, but it is hard to not instantly just love her. When it comes to relationships, it isn’t her priority in life.
When Dylan and Scarlett run into each other there is something there. They had an instant connection. Now, three years later, when they run into each other again, that connection is still there but there are also some complications to them being together.
Noah and Dylan. The two of them together bonding over Mr. Noodles is super sweet and just brings so much joy. I loved the two of them together so much.
The text conversations in this story are pure magic. If I could text with Mama Brodie on a daily basis I would constantly be laughing out loud. They instantly bring a smile to your face.
If you’re looking for a single mom, rom com this is one to check out.

This book is included in my list of awfully written books that I have ever read. I just can't like this book in every possible and simplest way I can and it sucks. There is potential but it just didn't turn out great in my favor. Everything was so fast, less drama (easily resolved), and they are a lot of plot holes to be polished.
PS. I've read the ARC (sorry for the long-overdue review), hence, I don't know if it improves in the final book.
