This was the first book I have read by Tracie Delaney, and I was super impressed. I am definitely going to read the rest of the Brook brothers series ASAP. The series starts off with sparks flying between Jax, a sweetheart of a book boyfriend, and Indie, a girl with a dark past and a few secrets. Their story had me on the edge of my seat, laughing, crying, and rooting for them. There is some intrigue in here, and everything isn’t answered in the first book, so be prepared to read the others soon after! The world of the Brook brothers will hook you and leave you begging for more!!!
A great story that showed so perfectly how poisonous the feeling of revenge can be and what it can do to a person, how it can eat at you and destroy you if you let it.
Although Jax only needed financial help, he got a lot more than what he planned when Indie came into the picture. With instant attraction on both sides, what’s more to wish for? Well, there’s a tiny thing called revenge that made everything a lot more complicated. Until real feelings got involved, because that’s where it became a whole lot messier.
There was only a little background info on Jax and his brothers but with more books to come in this series I’m sure we will learn more about them. I feel like I know only a handful of facts about Jax whereas Indie gave some more insight into her past, though I’m not sure how accurate those were because it felt a bit like her view had been manipulated by the things planted in her head by a certain someone.
There’s honestly nothing negative to say about this book. It was a great story that was well written. I loved the author’s previous books and I truly enjoyed this read as well. The only thing preventing me from a full star rating was my lack of connection and liking of the characters, mainly the heroine. It just kept me from being sucked into the story and fully loving it. I also didn’t buy into the instant attraction. Everything happened so fast and I just didn’t feel the spark.
Finally at Chapter 16, at around 60%, did I start to like the characters more. I can’t explain why but from then on I had a better feeling of it altogether. Maybe it was because Indie had played this game all along and didn’t fully show her true self until this point which made it hard for me to like her, and that’s a tough thing for a story if I don’t much like the heroine.
The third person involved in this story was like a black shadow looming over Indie and Jax. I felt sorry for what Indie had been through in her youth and I felt really bad for Jax not knowing what came to him. But mainly I was mad at Indie for playing this game, no matter how ridden by guilt she was.
At the end of the story was a little peek into what’s coming next in this series and I’m really excited for the other brother’s book.
I Love this story and the charisma these characters all have, it just shows the author has a gift for writing and story telling. I can’t wait for the next brothers book, because i can’t get enough of this family of hotties.
Jax has a hard job. His job is to raise his brothers, and just like any parent he wants to keep them together and have a home for any of them to come to if needed. So what better way then to make a real job out of his home, like a hotel. Easy right? Except he never saw her coming, but she saw him.
This book serves as an excellent opening for what will probably be a series of 4 or 6 novels revolving around the four Brook brothers.
You find yourself drawn in from the outset of the opening chapter in this fast-paced romantic drama. As with everything written by Tracie Delaney, nothing is quite as it seems and the book deliberately leaves us asking questions, desperate for more.
Tracie’s characterisation is as robust as ever in The Blame Game, and all of the brothers are fully developed by the end of the book—you can easily identify the dependable boy, the good boy, the pretty boy and the not so nice boy and I, for one, can’t wait to get to know them all as well as we now know Jax.
Talking of Jax, best have a cold shower before you start, because the romantic scenes are smokin’ hot!
This book has everything that we have come to expect of Tracie Delaney—a hero you can’t help but adore and at times want to slap, a heroine that you feel for and a villain that you would cross the country to avoid.
I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book and where this exciting new series will go. I am pretty sure that it will focus on Calum. Hmmm. An entire book filled with Calumishness. I have no words for that.
