Brodix is one of the Jennings brothers of Blackwater. He’s the financial guy, helping with the Grand Opening of the family restaurant. He and his brothers have privacy issues with their lives prior to adoption by the Jennings family.

Sarah Greer is a divorced reporter in their small town and she’s trying to live down a lead who gave her false info she went to print with. She wanted to do a human interest story on the Jennings’ and hopes it will help with increasing profits at the restaurant.

Brodix agrees she can interview him and him only. They go have dinner and then sex at his house. Feel a little rushed with the way I’m reviewing it? I felt that way when I was reading it. This wasn’t a bad story just a short one and short love stories are very rushed. I really like the series and am awaiting the next one.

This is the second installment in a short story series. It involves Jazz, Logan and Zach. Logan and Zach do a favor for a friend of theirs. Jazz wants to feel girlie since she is always around alpha males and some of those males have to report to her. She has a spa day and then goes to basically an escort service where she meets Logan and Zach.

Logan was injured while on deployment and discharged on permanent disability. His injuries are severe enough he fears he may be emasculated for the rest of his life. Zach just wants his best friend back but if he gets to have sex with a hot girl in the process, hell yeah.

It really was kind of a sweet story in that Logan’s fear of rejection was dealt with. Also through Zach’s desire to see his friend whole again. I was grateful for no I love yous with this story, just an agreement that they would get together on her next leave. Whether I’d read more in the series remains to be seen.

This story is about Jacob Silverton, lead singer for Sole Regret and Amanda Lange. It takes up where the second book ends. After one of their concerts, the band members have a rare night at home to spend as they wish. Jacob “Shade” is trying to get to his four year old daughters birthday party. His apprehension is due to the fact he’ll have to interact with his ex-wife. To say their relationship is difficult is an understatement.

He arrives late because of an issue with his car, to a party he was never invited to just to be almost turned away by his ex. Luckily he gets to spend some time with his little girl. His ex sister in law offers him a ride home due to his transportation issue. He has always been attracted to smart girls and Amanda is plenty smart. Turns out she has always been attracted to him as well. They spend a night together and try to figure out where to go next.

I liked the very intense love scenes. I liked each character also. I did not like them as a couple. It had a major creep factor to it for me. I wanted to scream at them both. Why would a man sleep with the sister of his ex-wife that hates you and denies you regular visitation? How could one sister do that to another? Even if they were divorced? It was more than a little gross for me. If you won’t have a problem with that, then you’ll probably love this story.
