Loved this book!! Jillian’s career as a movie scout is fun and original – and I’m a sucker for a cowboy story. 🙂 A super read from start to finish!
4 1/2 STARS!
Mistaken identity at the worst possible time! With another sassy read in The McNeill Magnates series, we are meeting the Wyoming side of the family and quickly become entrenched in their drama. It’s fun to see hints of the New York guys as we get to know the cousins better. A strong foundation of secrets were exposed in this book, so I’m looking forward to what’s to come in the series!
Film location scout Jillian Ross has found a location her boss is going to adore for the western film she’s working on … only trouble is, the owner shut her down before she could even get out her full spiel! She can’t lose this location, or her new job might be history before she’s barely started, so she sets out to find his much friendlier brother and convince him to get her a meeting!
Cody McNeill isn’t one for partying it up all that much, but when he sees the sexy thing that just walked into his local bar, he’s happy tonight is the night he walked through that door. After a steamy hook-up, he realizes not only did she think he was his twin brother, but this is that Hollywood type that’s been ringing his phone off the hook! He’d be nudging her towards the county line right quick like … if only she hadn’t just wound up pregnant!
This short novel takes us to the McNeill’s of Wyoming .
Cody, the oldest and most serious of the clan meets Jillian Ross, a film scout when she approaches him thinking Cody is his brother Carson. Sexual attraction is immediate until not only does she call out Carson’s name, but also the condom breaks.
Without giving away the plot, I will say that the plot was engaging and both characters were complex and very likable. Dealing with real life circumstances such as an unplanned pregnancy, especially one that occurs to a cancer survivor . The family dynamics and it’s members promise a few stories in the future.
The one downside for me is that we are left with many lose ends. Amongst them, I would have liked to have more on the future of these two.
I voluntarily read this copy. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
This book could be sort of like today’s world as in what we perceive as certain people to be. It was a good and easy read. You kinda felt sorry for the lead character s at certain times. I will be interested in reading more by this authou.
Fun to read
Predictable but a goos read. I enjoyed the characters and the setting.
I’m in suspense to see what happens next and reading the next two books.
Enjoyed very much.
Wanted the story to keep going to learn more about how the key characters’ relationship developed as time moved on.
Loved the main female character. She was strong but feminine, tested by adversity, yet came through with flying colors.
It was pretty good but not enough build up to the end. It end abruptly.
Loved reading this book! Kept me coming back. The only thing I didn’t like was how it ended. It left the story hanging.
Couldn’t make it past the 1st 10 pages
I really enjoyed this book
At the end of the book I wanted more! I felt like I had been left hanging and needed to begin the next book! I could hardly put it down!!
It left you hanging….I wanted more..like a epilogue
Loved this book! Loved the chemistry between them!!
I loved The Forbidden Brother by Joanne Rock!
Jillian Ross is craving a little excitement and adventure in her life and feels that she more than deserves it. Stumbling upon the McNeill family playboy one night is a temptation she doesn’t want to walk away from, but that one night stand has consequences. Consequences neither one expected! She finds out that she has fallen for the wrong brother and she is pregnant, something she thought could never happen.
Cody doesn’t care that meeting and spending the night with Jillian was a situation of mistaken identity because it was only one night, but finding out that she is pregnant is a game changer. He won’t walk from her or his child no matter what.
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
I loved this nouvelle! Fast and easy read. Cody is about running the ranch and Jillian is scout for a movie crew to get the best locations. Now the Jillian has gotten a second chance at life she doesn’t want to waste it by settling down. It’s a case of mistaken identity when she approaches “Carson” to try and convince him to change Cody’s mind about filming on his family’s ranch. Sleeping with “Carson” and having the condom break is just the icing on the cake. There is undeniable chemistry between Cody and Jillian but will it be enough?
The McNeill Magnates by Joanne Rock are one of my favorite ongoing series. The new shift in continuing stories within the Desire line means that the Wyoming stories are that much more complex and that much more fun. The Forbidden Brother is the first of this trilogy and when I finished reading all I wanted to do is keep reading the next installment. While Cody and Jillian’s story comes mostly to a resolution there is so much more going on in the family that you want to dive right in to the next book. Good thing it releases soon.
