And what's next . . .
What happens when the grown children of two feuding families decide to tempt fate and be together? Lots of fun, silly old men and steamy times! Drew and Bella grew up near each other but have been kept apart because of some long going
feud that neither one knows what the actual cause is. They step out to protect their siblings and things become a bit more real than they intended. I love to watch the male and female characters dance around one another and try to pretend that they arenāt head over tails for each other. I enjoyed this book immensely!What are readers saying about this new series?
Ruth Cardello creates characters that I can believe in and root for. I loved how she lured Bella and Drew to work together and understand that they are stronger together. Their relationship, while fiery, developed and grew, and I was
captivated by their explosive desire and deeply embedded vulnerabilities. I couldnāt wait for them to realize how perfect they were for each other.
I loved this story, couldnāt read it fast enough. The story paves the way for future books, canāt wait for the next one. Oh and the added bonus of Dominic Corisi being a friend of Drew made it even more exciting.
š The covers for this series are being created by my 15 year old daughter
and I couldn't be prouder. š
Book 2 is already available for pre-order!
.
One small town. Two powerful families.
Thirty years of bad blood threatening to tear everything down.
Get ready for a soulful, slow-burn, brotherās-best-friend romance that proves some fires donāt just smolder; they consume. One spark is about to set everything ablaze.
Evan:
Sheās innocence and sunshine.
Iām nomadic and jaded.
Neither of us belongs in Firebrook Valley, but here we are, trying to put out fires we didnāt light.
If she wasnāt dating my brother . . .
If I didnāt know Iād hurt her when I leave again . . . maybe Iād finally ask myself why Iāve always gone out of my way to make sure sheās okay.
I need to stay away from her because it's killing me that the only woman I want is the one I canāt have.
Nora:
I've spent my life creating my own sunshine even in the middle of storms. But this time, I'm caught between two angry brothers and a whole lot of family drama.
And, somehow, I'm the one tasked to fix this.
The feud between our fathers is heating up, and so are my exchanges with Evan.
My fatherās
afraid Iām falling for a Holliston.
And I am, just not the one he thinks I am.
Evan has been my secret guardian angel ever since we were
children. Can I get him to wake up and see past the chaos to me before he leaves again?
In Firebrook Valley, the only thing more heartbreaking than falling for the man your family doesnāt want you with . . . is lusting after the one fighting for you to have the right to be with his brother.
