Jules Rossi’s world is about to be turned upside down when her big brother, Paulie, announces his engagement. Having been raised by her brother after their parents died, she’s used to him being her knight in shining armor and isn’t ready to share him with anyone else.
Throughout all the wedding festivities, Jules’ path continues to cross with Paulie’s future brother-in-law, Bentley Ladner. Bentley soon begins to take on Paulie’s role in Jules’ life, which neither of the Rossi siblings is too sure about. Can Jules cope with the secrets Bentley is keeping? Or will she lose his support when she finally decides to give love a chance?
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
I took this book without even knowing what it was about…yeah that is how I roll some days!! LOL I just saw that the author needed some reviews plus I had the time…sooooo….I sat down to read it.
I gotta say, The angst of this book……..OMG SOOO GOOD!! I mean Bentley (Love the name tbh) and Julianna are super hot…combustable hot. When Jules learns that her older brother/adoptive brother is getting married she is less than thrilled. She HATES this future Mrs. Rossi with a passion. The beginning of the story Jules is pretty self-centered in that she doesn’t realize how needy she is with her brother but given their history it’s an understandable need. She is trying, unsuccessfully, to be nice to the Barbie fiancée when she meets her brother….Bentley AKA Bent or much cuter Benny. The two have an instant chemistry.
Initially Bentley just wants to meet this woman who is causing his sister so much distress. He is curious about what makes her tick. When they end up spending time together, he can’t stop being drawn to her. Pretty soon their “friendship” is more than just friends. …but they can’t be more then friends can they??
When we see Jules letting her guard down, I was super excited but then I was tapping Bent asking him when he is gonna spill the beans about Emmy…..I mean I kinda figured one of the secrets and we knew another but it’s never a good idea to withhold the whole truth dude!!
When Bentley and Jules decide to step up this relationship and then the wedding happens, my heart was all over the place….Happy and then devastated!! I felt the hurt that Jules felt and I understood Bentley reasoning but but but…my heart was still a mess!!
I gotta say, for a book I had ZERO CLUE about I am super excited I took book. It was a great read and I kinda am curious about the 2nd book about one of the other “brothers” of Jules, Smitty!!!
