This was a beautiful story with hard topics. It had me in tears from the beginning. Little Lola with her fear had my heart all twisted up. Ozzy was trying so hard to help his daughter heal, and Maren was the perfect person to push them both. I loved this story.  This author always makes me cry. I get up in my feelings, and I will be thinking of these characters for days! 

“Maren,” he whispers, kissing a trail of light kisses from my lips to my ear, “there’s nothing more epic than falling in love with someone who loved my daughter first.”

This book was so much fun. From their first interaction, I knew I was going to love reading how Carys pulled Gannon out of his grumpiness. This book was funny. We see Carys grow her business. She has to deal with her father. 

We also find out what happened to make Gannon so grumpy. Even that was written so well, that I teared up, and was so glad he had Carys. She was his shoulder to cry on, and work through the damage created by the situation. I loved this book! Seriously, this is my favorite Brewer book.

This one is full of mental health issues, and I could see myself in them. It was hard to read at parts, but more so than not it was a great read. We find Salem with so many issues suffering because her friend died. We find Lee also suffering, and fighting again himself and his family.  I loved the two of them together. He brought her back to life. She loved him, but he didn’t love himself. This book had a lot of bullying, depression, and crippling anxiety, but it was also hopeful. It was a beautiful story.

I loved this one!  The story and the descriptive scenes put you right there with the characters! Dalton was young, but you could tell he was right where he thought he should be. Camille lost her husband, and was struggling to live on the mountain they shared together.  Dalton steps in to help her. Send in some bad people threatening their home. It’s a fight, and they won’t back down. I loved the little ones & Pops too!

This book was sad, funny, and full of steam. It was full of angst as Sailor healed, but it didn’t take her long to fall in love with her stalker. Zander was there before the book started. He was perfect. He cared about all living things.  I loved this book!

My Review THIS BOOK!!! It is so dark… I AM LOVING IT! More to come… loving Rabbit & Madness! I have no more words! This book was craziness off the charts. I loved to see them work together. I loved that Priest made decisions that the others couldn’t. The minute you think know what’s going on… it changes. This book was so good!

Wow… there are enough words to describe how Mrs. Darling’s scorching scenes. The angst was off the charts. Plus Savannah was from Alabama!!! (I’m from Alabama… where’s my trip to London to meet Sebastian?😉)

That ending broke me… the cliffhanger had me in tears. Sebastian seemed so much the dreamer. Sometimes his head was in the cloud. He fell so hard and fast in love with them. Adam seemed so lost at times, and Savannah seemed selfish… I can’t wait for more!

This author is EVERYTHING! Her books have so many adorable, heartfelt, and steamy moments.  She put her spin on a “Dirty Dancing” story! I love that movie. I can’t tell you the number of times I watched it, and wanted my “Johnny” to sweep me off my feet. Yes I am a child of the 80s! 

I want to be Eve. She is funny, and so ready to take on the world.  Her parents have my house my rules vibe, and totally don’t see how great she is! They only care about their image. Kyle is sexy and he falls for her because of his son. Little Josh stole the scene every time he’s mentioned. She falls in love with him first. Let me tell you… how their romance was outed… I never seen that one coming. I was holding my breath. After that, I cried my eyes out. Be prepared for tears they will be your companion. The ending though it was perfect!

I absolutely loved this series! These brothers built something amazing. They made each other family, and pulled together through the good times and the dark times. I wanted Ransom’s story from the beginning, but it totally makes sense to wrap up with his. This story was funny, but also had angst that pulled at my heart strings hard! If you haven’t read the other books, go get them! You will not be disappointed!

I loved this one! Paige was scared that she could never count on anyone. I loved that Nate decided to prove it. This had angst with him falling in love first. It was funny & sweet.
