Brides & Brothers by Anneka R. Walker
4.0
Do you like retellings?
I feel like they either do amazing or I have a hard time not comparing. I’ve actually never seen Seven Brides for Seven Brothers so I didn’t have to worry about the possibility of comparing.
This is a fun and fast paced book about finding 7 brothers wives. It all starts with the oldest Aiden and tumbles down from there. Camille, partially to her fault, is frustrated to find out that she not only married into a family of 7 boys but that 6 of those lived at home… like slobs. Aiden works hard to free up time but ends up away quickly after the marriage and leave Camille in charge. Camille takes it upon herself to get these manboys married off.
Aiden and Camille honestly weren’t my favorite MC I’ve read about. While flaws are great to show in books, I had a hard time connecting with them and their attitudes/actions or lack of.
I did enjoy the fun that comes with a house full of boys and also the matchmaking schemes. Each guy was unique and had a fun story. The meshing of Camille and the household was entertaining. The story is cute and fun… and I would have totally been fine with a longer book like all good books!
