New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Melody Anne begins a sizzling and heartfelt series about Joseph Anderson’s long-lost nephews.
Finn Anderson is a loyal military veteran who has no desire to live a life of luxury and ease, but sometimes a person doesn’t get a choice. His life is flipped upside down when he and his four brothers learn they’re long-lost relatives of the absurdly famous and wealthy Joseph Anderson. The eccentric but generous billionaire puts the brothers to work building a new veterans center, and that’s not all: Joseph won’t stop until each nephew finds love.
Finn has never expected or wanted an easy life, and he struggles with his early retirement from the elite SEAL team. But when a very confident Brooke Garrison literally sweeps him off his feet during a self-defense class he’s teaching, he thinks less about his past and more about a brand-new future.
If Finn knows anything for certain, it’s that he can’t let this woman get away. Though Brooke is tough and compassionate, the loss of her brother has left her vulnerable. She isn’t sure she can risk loving and losing another person in her life, including a very determined ex-SEAL. Can the two of them look beyond their past wounds and embrace what they’re feeling?
Finn turned out to be an OK read for me, I truly wanted to love this one. Families in books tend to be my favorites because that means more stories and there's usually plenty of awesome banter between the family members. I normally don't mind an insta-love, but I think it happened way too quick for Finn. And just his whole notion of how he quickly fell in love with her before they were technically together.
To me, Brooke was more realistic about everything. At times I didn't quite understand her hang-ups about being with someone since Finn showed her many times how much he ultimately cared for her. Despite his insta-love madness, his genuine character is what I liked the most about him.
The military veteran project; I was dying to know more about that and was hoping for a more emotional connection with it. I did like that Melody shared Brooke and Finn's story about their military life.
I really wanted to love this one, but it didn't quite work for me. However, Melody sets up the story for the next book, which I definitely looking forward to reading.
