Holy hotness! I needed to take a cold shower after reading Kade and Gracie’s story! The magnetism between them kept the heat turned up high, and I was all on board, full steam ahead to be immersed in their journey! Kade oozes sex appeal in spades, but it’s his focus and dedication to Gracie that makes him the perfect catch. The combination of brother’s best friend and second chance romance with a side of danger kept me engaged from start to finish. My only question is, why did the story have to end?
This was my favorite book in the Together We Stand series!
Kade, Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome, is madly in love with Gracie. Gracie has always been in love with Kade. The only thing standing in their way is Gracie’s Brothers who are Kade’s best friends. After finally coming together Kade disappears for 3 years only to return and find someone else vying for Gracie’s love.
Things are not what they seem with Kade. BUT one thing remains true… Kade loves Gracie! Can Kade win Gracie back and help save her and her family from the Twisted Hearts Gang?
This book is packed full of exciting twisted and turns. Once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down!
Wow wow wow!! Kade and gracie’s story will blow your mind just like all the Brooks family’s stories in this series. Kade and gracie go through so much to be together they hid how they felt for one another from Gracie’s siblings for years until they couldn’t. Gracie fought her feeling hard for kade because of the lies he told her to protect her and her family. Kade had to do what he had to, to protect the woman he loves and her family with the twisted hearts still after the Brooks family. This story has all the feels! Maggie Cole did amazing job once again!!
So much raw emotion., hurt, betrayal, lies and secrets, that’s the life of a spy. Never did Kade think his life would turn out to be this. Leaving behind the one person he loved most, Gracie.
Kade broke her heart and no matter the years they’ve been apart these two are electric and the heat that radiates off them is the hottest thing ever. When Kade realizes Gracie is involved with someone affiliated with The Twisted Hearts he has to get to her and try to win her back. The one thing no one can figure out is why the Brooks family has been targeted. So many questions to be answered, lives changed, can Gracie really hear Kade when he tells her everything or will he be too late to fix what he broke?
This series is unlike anything I’ve read before, this author pours her heart and soul into every story weaving us through The Brooks family. We are sucked into their world, kept on our toes, and always looking over our shoulder waiting for the other shoe to drop and a twist you won’t see coming!
You know the one who got away? Gracie has almost moved on and now he’s back, and in every facet of her life, AGAIN.
Kade has been gone a long time, but he has one memory that he refuses to let go.
Gracie and Kade’s love story takes some twists and there were some parts where I forgot to breathe. But the Brooks family and their counterparts are conquering the Twisted Hearts gang and reclaiming their happy ever afters.
Masks of Devotion was heart wrenching. Why has the Brooks family been targeted by a powerful gang? Gracie and Kade struggle to find a way to be together; but his work and her trust issues keep putting a wall between them. Interpol, murder, the spy game and family loyalty are connections that are woven throughout this steamy read. Maggie Cole is the Goddess of steamy romance because her writing is just that good and her stories so captivating. Masks of Devotion was a beautiful second chance love story that featured amazing characters, an engaging plot line, intriguing side stories and a fantastic, leave you begging for more, ending.
This is Gracie and Kade’s, they had one night of passion and Kade had to leave because of his work.
With him leaving Gracie tried to find that passion with other guys but she couldn’t. Then she meets Fisher a man with money and his interest in Gracie seems normal at first but that is what leads to such a good read.
Kade comes back and gets close to Gracie and that leads to steam, drama and danger.
This book in the Together We Stand Series just keeps you enthralled with this series , you want to know what happens next and you know it will be epic.
Maggie Cole has done it again with the steamy powerful attraction between Kade and Gracie!
Gracie is fighting hard to hold a grudge against Kade for hurting her and he fights hard to win her back. The Brooks family has been through so much but the characters just get better and better. I have fallen more in love with them through each book. I was on an emotional roller coaster with them from the beginning. I can’t wait to read Conner’s story next.
This would have to be one of my favorite books of this series. This isn’t one of those rekindled love stories. Gracie and Kade had a relationship that didn’t work out because he had to leave for work. When he got back, he wanted the relationship to pick right back up, but Gracie didn’t. After a while it happened and they worked through everything to be able to be together. They had to defy odds of her family not wanting them to be together. This book was written so well and was so funny. But the cliffhanger…. OMG!!! What was that about???!!!! I sure didn’t see that coming! I’m definitely going to have to read the next book to find out what happens next.
This story is so intense. Gracie and Kades love story is one hell of a dollar coaster ride of emotions.
The flirting at the beginning, to their first night together and then Gracie getting her heat broken when Kade has to leave because of his job in Interpol (which know one knows about). Then Gracie meets Fisher who turns out to be a not so nice guy and you eventually find out he’s high up on the Twisted Hearts ladder. Enter Kade, he finally returns home as he is working on trying to take Fisher down, by gaining his trust and pretending to be into the same crazy things. While also trying to win back the love of his life Gracie.
Things get intense towards the end good over evil prevail, and you get to see your HEA Kade and Gracie have a love we all wish to have
I thought Hudson had the best story until I read Kade and Gracie’s story. The two have know each other since she was a baby, he is best friends with her brother Hudson. They were friendly as adults would talk and text each other, he was always there for her when she needed it. They finally admit their feelings for one another, sleep together and he gets called to work for his job and completely disappears from her life. Both of the them are heartbroken apart. Her family seems to have no idea of the downward spiral that is happening with her, the excess drinking and sleeping with anyone. The interaction between the two characters in my opinion is more heartbreaking than Gabriella’s story.
Each book in this series is better than the last.
Wow the twists, turns, lies, betrayal, espionage, secrets and danger get more intense with each book.
Kade worked for the military, CIA and now Interpol. He has helped train, discover pertinent information and take down gangs. He is a trained spy and has clearance to kill.
Gracie thought she new her boyfriend Fletcher but things happen that tell her otherwise. Her family is still in danger from the Twisted Hearts but she doesn’t realize how until Kade tells her about Fletcher.
This riveting read had me on the edge of my seat, devouring the pages trying to find out what would happen next. There are quite a few surprises I wasn’t expecting. This series is fantastic and thrilling to read. Maggie Cole takes you through the story, feeling what the characters feel and giving you so much details to every scene.
Another great story in the Together we Stand series this time featuring Gracie Brooks who parties hard in an attempt to forget her broken heart. Kade Coral is the Interpol spy and family friend who slept with her then 6 hours later left to work abroad. 3years pass without a word and she is seeing on-off boyfriend Fisher when Kade shocks her by re-entering her life as Fishers business associate, professing to still love her. Turns out he is spying on Fisher who is actually a member of the Twisted Hearts gang Elite, a group of rich business men and women who secretly run the gang. As usual Maggie ensures the would be lovers go through a rollercoaster ride to emotions and struggles before finally getting together. These books, entwining the love stories of the Brooks siblings, build an interesting tale leading to the ultimate showdown with the gang involving Connor in the final book. Can’t wait to read it!
This book was amazing, i don’t want it to end. Im going to be sad when series ends. Definitely recommend. 10 stars if i could.
Maggie Cole once again takes you on an emotional ride you don’t want to miss! Kade’s devotion to Gracie is what every woman deserves. Gracies’s choice to choose love over her lack of trust is such an inspiration. Don’t miss this steamy, romantic, yet mysterious story!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Maggie Cole has done it again! Another one that once you read the first page you are hooked. To see Gracie trying to get over Kade and on a destructive path is heartbreaking and then Kade returns as friends to the guy she is dating. But looks can be deceiving and we step into a world of spies and even more of the Twisted Hearts gang. Are they ever going to leave the Brooks family alone?
Now I can’t wait until Connor’s story.
This series keeps getting better and better. I really enjoyed reading Gracie and Kade’s story. Just as they finally declare their love to each other, they are torn apart because of Kade’s job. They are apart for three years and when Kade returns he tries to rekindle things with Gracie. Gracie is involved with someone else and is still mad at Kade for leaving her. He won’t tell her why he left or what is job is. They eventually get back together and get their happily ending after overcoming danger and family issues. I am looking forward to reading the last book and more books by Maggie Cole.
They say if you let go, and it come back it was meant to be. That’s the story between Gracie and Kade. Begin separated fit years Gracie and Kade love never waver from each other. Now back together nothing keep them apart. Not even chemical warfare will threaten their happy ending
Gracie and Kade, a love story…Hot damn!
This book…stayed up past midnight to finish. I could not put it down!!!!
Just when you thought this series could not get any better, it does.
I like that it weaves the past books in the series to familiarize with what went down in the previous books. I just held my breath as I turned each page in anticipation of what would happen next. Seriously I was anxious as the climatic end was coming… Highly recommend this book. Just one word of advice give yourself enough time to read in one sitting, because you will not want to put it down….
Thank you Maggie for another amazing book… Keep them coming

WOW, just WOW! I read this book start to finish in one sitting. Every Brooks story I fall in farther in love and think Maggie Cole could not possibly write a better book, but she proves me wrong and always hits it outta the park.
Kade and Gracie have known each other their whole lives and end up falling in love with each other. They have one amazing night together before the world comes crashing down. Kade made decisions that not only effect him and Gracie but the whole Brooks family. Gracie cannot forget Kade and turns to alcohol to numb the pain. When Kade comes back he realizes the mistakes he has made and tries to make things right. Just when Gracie forgives him, the Twisted Hearts make things difficult.
I love how all of the stories have intertwined together and we get glimpses of the all of the characters in the books. This series is by far my favorite. I cannot wait to read Connor’s story.
You need to read this book and the entire series.
