So Enjoyed
What brings four brother’s together more than trying to find their father. Yes they left him years ago but he still their dad. But with all of them home each find happiness and love and possibly their dad.
Blackthorne Brothers Prequel Review: This was just a set up for each individual Blackthorne Brother. It didn’t really do anything to encourage me to read the series.
Declan Review: Talk about opposites attract. Declan and Rylee could not be more on the opposite sides. I found Declan likeable he is sweet, stubborn and listens when needed. Rylee is smart, stubborn and sticks to her guns. I liked the interaction between the brothers, it made me smile. The overall reason for the brothers to be there was to find their father. In my opinion the mystery of where Brent is got a little lost. I wanted more working on the mystery part. It does end in a cliffhanger.
Zander Review: I love second chance romances. In my opinion Zander is a little over the top intense, I guess it’s the older brother syndrome. I like Zander and his intense manner, his protective side and knowing what was the right thing to do. I like Alexa her love of Harvey, the sacrifices she made and her protectiveness. The mystery of the missing father is still going on, but seemed to take a backseat to Zander and Alexa’s story. Overall I enjoyed this book.
Blaze Review: I really enjoyed Blaze, there was a lot more of working on the mystery of where the missing father. There was a lot more action. I found Blaze a little hard to like, he doesn’t talk a whole lot he just throws his fist around. The qualities I liked about Blaze his his love for his family and how he has his brothers backs. When it came down to it he stepped up for Leila. I loved how Leila didn’t back down from Blaze. I loved how Leila had Blaze’s back. Leila was one spitfire. I found Blaze a little predictable but I was okay with that. Overall I enjoyed Blaze.
Kaden Review: Amanda Torrey gave me what I like in a story suspense and mystery. In my opinion it’s predictable which I was okay with. I liked how Natalie stood her ground with Kaden, that made me laugh. My favorite part was how the brothers kept showing up for each other.
Overall I enjoyed this series, but I found things a little predictable. I got a good deal on this boxed set. That’s the only reason I got it.
If you’re looking for a romantic suspense series, this is not a series for you. From my perspective, this series is contemporary. I’m disappointed only because I was expecting a different genre. That said, I enjoyed each brother and his story. If contemporary is what you seek, grab some popcorn, a nice beverage, and enjoy!
Enjoyed reading the whole set. Great lead in from one book to the next.
I love how the author wrote one book about each brother and they flowed seamlessly from one to the next. Interesting story line and mystery throughout. Each “couple” are widely different characters that come from different current lives/worlds and come together—grudgingly—for a common family purpose. Family values and ethics are strong, which also endeared the books and characters to me.
