Brother’s Keeper III: Luke –
Luke O’Reilly has seen it all, done it all, and lived through it all. When a career ending injury forces him to retire from the military, he struggles to adapt. Luke was born to be a soldier, not conform to the nine-to-five mediocrity of everyday life. He needs to protect and serve like he needs his next breath.
Angry, with a bitter taste of civilian life, he finds himself searching for purpose in dangerous operatives through the family business that is Brother’s Keeper Security. Working alongside his brothers, protecting them and those they love, gives him satisfaction. But he still wants more – needs more – and struggles to find it. That is, until the one thing he didn’t think he was searching for, lands on his doorstep. Literally.
Daisy King lives life on her own terms, just the way she likes it. A free spirit, until she finds herself in the protective clutches of Brother’s Keeper, one frustrating brother in particular. As the key witness to a high-profile murder, the stakes turn dangerous and take an unpredictable twist leaving her once simple life an existence she’ll never reclaim.
In a true tug of war between good and evil, Luke fights to overcome his past, to protect his future. Can Luke and Daisy save each other and find a happily ever after? Or, does murder and mayhem prevail, robbing Daisy of her freedom and sentencing Luke to a life alone?

Wow! 4.5 Stars. Stephanie St. Klaire has just introduced me to one of the most amazing fictional families. The O’Reilly Family is over-the-top in all the best ways and the scenes with all of the brothers together had me splitting my sides with laughter (especially the scene in the tattoo shop). Luke seemed to be the most brooding of the brothers, with a past that shadowed his present and future. Then in came Daisy, evoking emotions and responses that turned his whole world upside down. I loved the way Daisy easily carved her own place within the O’Reilly family, quickly ensuring she would be more than a job to them all. There were a few times when Daisy’s decisions frustrated me, but shortly thereafter she would do something to make me love her again. I am in love with the world Stephanie St James has created and look forward to going back again and again.
Magically delicious!!!! OMG! Seriously if you’ve never read a Stephanie St Klaire you are missing out! Love intrigue twists and turns you have it all in one place 😉
Brother’s Keeper 3: Luke by Stephanie St. Klaire is a wonderfully action packed story that holds you in place until the final end. A superbly moving story of two people questioning their capacity and ability to love. Luke, a hardened, very effective soldier has seen and done things that make him feel unable to give or receive love. Daisy is a sweetheart of a woman caught in a web of conspiracy that boggles the mind. Those out to sabotage Luke and Daisy and threaten National Security run so far up the chain of command that no one can predict what each day will bring. One thing for certain: it heats up the chemistry between Luke and Daisy to never before experienced heights with just as many lows. Ms. St. Klaire spins a web of such intriguing characters and plots that are so genuine you are held captive until the final page is turned. A hard fought,heart felt HEA that one thinks St Klaire can not possible top yet she does it again!!! Congratulations Stephanie!!!!
…and another great book from author Stephanie St. Klaire!
Luke is a mess. He doesn’t think he deserves a future. He doesn’t think he deserves love. He doesn’t think he’s worthy of anything. His past deeds, while in the armed services, makes him feel damaged. He doesn’t do relationships until he sees Daisy.
Daisy is sweet. She isn’t interested in settling down. She just wants to roll along helping her friend with her catering business, sing at some of the events, and mind her own business…until a situation beyond her control tears her out of her comfort zone and lands her straight into Luke’s sphere of influence.
Thus begins the crazy wonderful book, Luke!
We’ve followed the O’Reilly brothers from McKenzie Ridge, back to their base in Portland. Family, integrity, and honor are ingrained in their psyches. When their FBI contact realizes there is a problem with some Washington D.C. lawmakers, he sends witness Daisy, to them.
Love, political intrigue, super secret tech stuff, suspense, budding relationships, and emotional healing are all part of this wonderful ride. Readers will reconnect with some of the McKenzie Ridge people and get updated on the O’Reilly brothers significant others.
Ms. St. Klaire always adds her own particular brand of ‘twist’ to the ending of her novels, and this one will keep you on your toes. Then there are tattoos…laugh out loud funny scene.
Luke & Daisy’s story is everything you’d expect from a Stephanie St. Klaire romcom suspense, it had all the usual character sass, awesome humor – REALLY great laugh out loud humor – and sexy badassery that you could hope for from the O’Reilly brothers, and then you get that serious knock-the-air-outta-you punch to the gut that you know is coming, or at least hope it will, eventually. But then it doesn’t, but you’re not left dissatisfied, it is still incredibly the sweet, sexy, funny HEA you have come to know & love. But come on… this is a Stephanie St. Klaire story, surely your knees will be knocked out from under you at some point! Right? This is definitely a “wait for it” story that took my breath away & had me crying for the most unexpected reason. No spoilers here, you will have to read it for yourself to see if you feel the same way!
True to Stephanie’s books, the character development gets richer with every one, and the stories themselves not only hold true to each character, but their depth does not leave you wanting. Another spectacular addition to my collection of St. Klaire novels!!
First book I have read in the series and I cannot wait to read the others. Perfect to read out of order even though it’s in the middle of the series. I still understood what was going on. Stephanie did it again, she had me hook from the first page. The imagery she created with her writing made me feel like I was right there in the book. Don’t even get me started about Luke and daisy. Luke acts like a butthead but daisy saw right past it. They are one of my favorite couples. Way to go Stephanie, you have done it again my love! Another amazing one in the books
If you love intrigue, suspense, romance and being on the edge of your of your seat with a book you can’t put down this is the book for you!! I don’t know how Stephanie does it every time, but each book is better than the last one. Loved Luke and Daisy’s story!!
Luke and Daisy’s story was sweet, hot and steamy. Story starts fast paced with Daisy being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Luke starts out as being a jerk and didn’t seem like a good match for her, but as with all of her books you see that it was all a cover for someone not wanting to be hurt by love one-click if you want a good story with laughs and love.
What do you do when your “job” is the one woman who can make you feel? You protest loud, fight hard to save her and end up loving her unconditionally. This is not some sappy love story, this is an action pack, hard hitting, emotionally charged and intimately sexy. You will love Daisy almost as much as Luke. Another fabulous book from Stephanie. Make sure the read the others. You will love them too.
Luke and Daisy’s story was fantastic from start to finish.
Even just the beginning of the story had me ADORING Daisy as a character. She was an absolute HOOT, and just someone that you wanted to crawl into the book and be friends with. She was just in the absolute wrong place at the wrong time, she saw something she definitely shouldn’t have and now needs protection. In comes Luke.
Luke is moody, sexy, and 100% alpha. As he protects Daisy, he finds more and more that he likes about her, but feels he doesn’t deserve her.
This story was action packed, the story line will reel you in, and you won’t come up for air until the very end.
Loved this story!!
Great book . Action , intrigue, and a hero that finally understands he can love and be loved . Great read
Oh my goodness and again a “O” brother, Luke to be specific, had me rapidly and thoroughly intrigued turning page after page, a non stop read. Luke is a broody, silent alpha Male who has served his time in the military and is now working with his brothers. His newest assignment finds him protecting Daisy. Daisy is a crucial witness to a horrible crime, she finds herself guarded by a giant of a man whom she finds very attractive but is confused by his constantly changing emotions. No spoilers from me lol but A definite must read that had me laughing, crying both good and bad tears, I can not wait to read Dace’s story.
Book three in the Brother’s Keeper series did not disappoint. All of the O’Reilly brothers have been hot and Luke is no exception. He believes he is damaged and undeserving of love – will Daisy get through and make him realize he is worthy of her love?
This book has it all: romance, mystery, action, emotion and humor. I cried and I laughed out loud – what more can you ask for from a book.
I loved it!
Luke is like many former military, deeply broken and not knowing what he wants out of life because he expected to be in the military forever. Like many, a career ending injury changed that. Working for his family security business he feels like his life is meaningless because of things that he has done while on tour, he feels like he doesn’t deserve the happy ever afters that two of his brothers have found.
Enter Daisy. She is a free spirit, sometime singer, sometime caterer assistant. She has no one in the world except her little neurotic dog and her Gran who is in a care facility.
During a Washington DC gig she happens to be In the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses the murder of a US Senator. She is seen by someone in the room and off she runs! Before she can make it to her car a few blocks away, she is grabbed and put into a van and whisked away. Thank goodness it’s the good guys that grab her! Driven across country to Portland, Oregon, she is put into the very secure care of the O’Reilly Brothers, and more specifically Luke.
This story is scintillating , it keeps the reader on the edge of their seat wondering when and where the bad guys are going to pop up next, and who exactly are the bad guys. It also keeps the reader on their toes and turning the page to see what develops next in Luke and Daisy’s quasi relationship. Is Daisy strong enough to handle a broken soldier? Will Luke open his mind and his heart and let her in? Can these two come together as soulmates or is it just mind blowing sex? This book was so worth the read to find out! Ms St Klaire is a master at developing her characters and I want to know more with each brother that is introduced. I would recommend this and I can’t wait to see what happens next with brother #4 Dace. Well done Stephanie St Klaire.
Every time I finish one of Stephanie’s books, I say “they’re my favorite book couple.” This time is no different. I love Luke and Daisy.
Daisy was wrong place, wrong time and finds herself under the protection of the O’Reilly clan, specifically under Luke’s care. Many twists and turns lead them to their happy ending.
The tattoo shop had me laughing out loud and earning some eyerolls from my husband.
From start to finish, this book did not disappoint. Ready for book 4!
Luke is Book 3 in the amazing Brother’s Keeper Series.
Luke is the closed off brother. He watches from the sidelines. Through his past as a soldier he doesn’t feel he deserves to have love and happiness.
Daisy is under Luke’s protection due to witnessing a murder. I really love Daisy’s character. The only disappointment I had is that she didn’t take her safety seriously and ended up not only putting herself in danger but Luke and his brother’s too. She didn’t seem to think outside the box.
I love the banter between Luke and Daisy. Slowly Daisy is able to get Luke to open up. The build up of chemistry between these two is great.
When Luke and his brothers are getting drunk together in the bar I seriously could visualize my brothers, sisters and I doing the same thing in our younger years. The scene in the tattoo parlor is absolutley hilarious.
I loved the intrigue and suspense in this story. It kept me hooked from beginning to end.
This is a great book that is part of an amazing series that has everything I love in a book. I consider anything book by Stephanie St. Klaire a must read! Her way of writing just has a way of pulling me into the story.
What happens when you take a hot alpha male and a free spirited woman and put them together? You get Luke and Daisy with amazing chemistry. Luke has been through some stuff and doesn’t feel like he deserves love. Daisy has love to give in spades. I loved their story! If you are looking for suspense, love and laughs then pick this book up!
Loved it from the first words to the end 🙂 Crushing on the main man and wish this book had pictures haha You will thoroughly enjoy this one!
This is the first of the Brother’s Keeper series I have read, and as will the other books by Stephanie that I have read I was not disappointed. I love reading Luke and Daisy’s story, as well as the family dynamic of the O’Reilly brothers. I will definitely be reading the first two books.
I couldn’t put this book down
