Bad Boy Brody by Tijan

5.0

WOW! Tijan has just wowed me again!

I will state that it took me few chapters to completely draw me in, but her chapters are short and it was no more than five chapters-tops-before I was hooked and knew I wouldn't stop reading until I devoured every page.

The book begins with Brody, a star, losing his brother, setting off a chain of events in his life that leads to the title "Bad Boy Brody". He isn't necessarily proud of the title he's achieved since his brothers death, but he is trying to start a road to making amends so he can get his career back on track.

"As if overnight, I had gone from Hollywood's heartthrob to their bad boy. And that brought us to the whole reason I was being driven to somewhere I didn't want to be to work on a movie I didn't want to be a part of."

A movie promising Oscar buzz means the title of "Bad Boy Brody" might disappear which could mean bigger movies in Brody's future, which is exactly what he is after.  Brody promised to take on the potential Oscar winning role of Peter Kellerman, the man behind a global franchise of Kellerman Hotels. But the movie wasn't about how he made his millions, no, it was about how he fell in love and then how his wife was murdered.

"Unbroke. That was the name of the movie, a term used about a horse that wasn't trained.....The movie was about my mother, but why would they use that term? She'd been broken."

Morgan Kellerman was wild and free. A girl left behind after her mother was murdered. Her step-siblings and stepfather all left after her mother had been murdered, and she'd been left behind like unwanted dishware.  Morgan stayed on the very land in which her mother had been murdered, only visiting the home when it was necessary as she was much more in harmony with the wild mustangs of the land than any of the people who ever lived there. 

"She didn't want something from me. She didn't see me with dollar signs in her eyes. She was pure. She was innocent. And she had no idea how rare she was."

When Morgan and Brody meet the wild attraction is instant and the pure innocence is underlying and raw. Something continues to draw these two back together. Or as Brody puts it, Morgan continues to find him because she only reveals herself when she wants to be found. Brody is fascinated by her yes, but he's also desperate to be near her in a way he's never been desperate to be near anyone else in his entire life. Morgan can't understand why she feels drawn to Brody over and over until she learns of his own struggles. Two souls grieving together and understanding each others pain.

"There was something about Brody that made me not regret anything."

They come from two different worlds. She's wild and lives in the untamed world, and even though he was a notorious bad boy, he works hard and lives in the civilized world. Would they ever fit together in the real world?

Tijan will take you on an emotional journey that is wrought with turns and ups and downs. Bad Boy Brody is a page turner with tons of heart. You will love this book!!
