Attachment Theory by Kayley Loring

4.0

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.
