BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Amanda Jackman’s love life is the stuff dreams are made of…which is fitting, because it’s all in her head. Thanks to six oversized, overbearing brothers who treat her like the family jewel, she’s lived in a padded little box.
Determined to get a life before she needs a padded little cell, she sets out to throw off the yoke and live on her own terms. Except she seriously underestimates the lengths to which her brothers will go to keep her safe and sound.
Cole Engstrom’s life might just be at an end. Cornered by all six of the massive Jackmans—men he normally considers his friends—he learns he’s their choice to marry their sister…or else. Make that first choice, but not the last.
Rather than watch Amanda’s brothers club their way through potential mates, Cole figures it’s best to just play along for a while and buy her some time to find a man of her own. It’s a good plan. Until Amanda figures it out—and decides he’s the one to relieve her of her “sheltered little virgin” status. One seduction at a time…
Warning: This sexy romp of a book contains a virgin, a man and a plan. Game. On.
REVIEW:
Anytime there is a story about overbearing brothers trying to control little sister’s life, I am there! This is one of my favorite romance tropes of all time. And in this book, Ms. Tenorio does a fine job of executing it. Poor put upon Amanda knows what her brothers are up to and decides to get a little of her own back and rid herself of her pesky virginity. This book is a fun read with twisted plots, each person trying to play their own game and not being totally honest.
Still there is a satisfying getting to know each other for the hero and heroine. Even though they are childhood friends, the author details them getting to know each other in a romantic capacity. What follows is a resolution to unrequited love. Also, the author is adept at detailing the family dynamics and finally Amanda convinces her brothers it is time to live her own life. It isn’t an easy thing and there are some gut wrenching emotions but the ending is perfect.
If you would like to read a fun romance, heavy in the family dynamics, I recommend this book.
