I enjoyed the interactions of the Crews family that ties all three books together. I found the fun, fire, and frisky “action and amore” concept to be on the average end for all three books. The parts that worked best for me: I like narrator Lane for his deliciously deep male voices and his decent female voices. For me this was more on the sweet, slow burn end, although there are two nicely smoldering scenes at 4 and 6.5 hrs.
The romance side is Brodie constantly working to win her over, get her to feel comfortable with his family, and build her confidence in bed. Ronnie’s got issues with trust, intimacy, body positivity and mama drama. The romance: The relationship is unbalanced, with Brodie being the self assured rock and Mary being the control freak with tons of baggage. Any danger elements and action sequences are few and far between, serving only to give Brodie a chance to be a hero and for petite Mary to be protected. The thriller: Mary is a buttoned up mouse who helps a rich guy obtain weird tchotchkes and memorabilia. I liked this a little better than book 2 because Mary is less damaged than Ronnie and Brodie’s gravelly pillow talk was delicious. Books 1 & 2 follow such similar playbooks, I feel like I should have just picked one and listened to it twice. This book features Mary and Brodie (brother to book 2’s Jack). There’s occasional F bombs and described, but not overly crass, naughty parts. The series features hunky protective guys and damaged gals who get together amid a little adventure. I really liked the narration, I think this might be a first for me by John Lane but it won’t be the last, even the “female” parts had me engaged. But neither is Brodie and if he wants something bad enough he goes for it. I wasn’t really sure if these two were just too different but they work, and Mary isn’t a pushover at all which I love. Brodie’s protectiveness shines through as well and I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. I loved the tension between these two oh they try and fight it but its enviable when they are thrust together so much. I liked that she was so put together, she is a pretty straightforward gal and it takes a lot to ruffle her and ruffle her Brodie Crew’s does. She works for a millionaire who likes to collect the really strange and weird things. I really enjoyed this unique job Mary Daniels has. I forgot how much she makes me feel by the time I am done I always have a feel good feeling like a big hug. I haven’t read or listened to a Lori Foster book in a few years.
