Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold. I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring. As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities." I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world. I hope you enjoy it!

    Garret tried to make it work. His fiance was crazy. Mood swings. Constant overspending. He was so far in debt he didn't see a way out. She was unfaithful and he needed out.

    Bertie just mutually divorced her husband. They fell out of live, or so she thought. Turns out her ex had a secret affair. But what's done is done.

    New year's eve, two lost souls found the other half of themselves, now all they had to do was figure it out.

    Great read.

    Another great storyline in the MacAteer bros. saga. Some heavy lessons on the value of fidelity and loyalty of the heart. I could so easily fall in love with the shattered Garrett as he suffered a total loss of love, trust, money, home, and credit rating. There should be more Berties in the world but sadly more women fit the evil bitch category as this author so beautifully illustrated. Chemistry, swoon worthy men, great family comradary, mystery, this tale has it all.

    I recently read the Dragon Runners series and had a problem with the outside the relationship sexual content in most of those books. But, I liked them enough otherwise to start on this spinoff series. So far, I've really liked each book and don't recall any OM/OW stuff. I have one complaint. The ending sentences are awful. The books are all so far safe, HEA books with great and unique stories, which can be difficult. Though there are happy endings, which I need, the last sentences are either abrupt or just don't sound like they belong as the last line and I am a sucker for great last lines in books. It would have been a solid 4 at least if the ending sounded right.

    This author still has me enthralled with her stories. These brothers are so full of love, and when they find their other half, they are loyal. Garrett was in a toxic relationship, and like his family, I am glad he got out of it. While Bertie is an independent woman, that shows alot of love to those around her. I am thankful that her sister Jodie, was a great character. This relationship, with Garrett and Bertie starts hot and then becomes another slow burn.

    As usual, I read this book in one sitting. Characters and story kept me reading until the end. There are always backdrop themes within this writer's stories. This involved toxic relationships. Others addressed sexual abuse, substance abuse, rescue animals, overcoming losses of many kinds. Concise writing makes the stories flow. Love these series. Can't wait until I read about Patrick and Angus!!

    These MacAteer boys are all turning out to be the standard for book boyfriends. This 3rd book of the series features Garrett and Bertie. I really loved how these to evolve together and that there was no drama with their relationship. All the drama is from outside forces. Seriously sweet couple. LOVED IT!!!

    Garrett and Bertie's story was definitely a winner in my book! Loved all of the brothers, but really wanted more of Eva and Stud. Even some dialog between Stud and all of his brother-in-laws.

    Loved this book so much. Garret and Bertie had lots of emotional baggage to overcome but they did it. Loved all the familiar faces. Looking forward to reading Patrick's book.
