Dear V̵e̵r̵y̵ ̵H̵o̵t̵ Crazy Woman,
You didn’t have to call the cops on me.
I was just looking after my niece.
Okay... maybe I shouldn't have been spying on her date. But I know how teenage boys think and what they want.
Did it make you feel good scolding me in front of everyone for just being a good uncle? B̵e̵c̵a̵u̵s̵e̵ ̵d̵a̵m̵n̵,̵ ̵y̵o̵u̵ ̵s̵u̵r̵e̵ ̵l̵o̵o̵k̵e̵d̵ ̵g̵o̵o̵d̵ ̵d̵o̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵i̵t̵.
I’m almost positive you were cussing me out and if I understood a lick of Spanish, I’d have ̵s̵h̵u̵t̵ ̵y̵o̵u̵ ̵u̵p̵ ̵w̵i̵t̵h̵ ̵a̵ ̵k̵i̵s̵s̵ told you exactly what I thought about your meddling, even if you are her teacher.
In fact, I’d like to schedule a d̵a̵t̵e̵ ̵o̵v̵e̵r̵ ̵d̵i̵n̵n̵e̵r̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵w̵i̵n̵e̵ parent teacher conference to discuss our differing views on raising the youth of today s̵o̵ ̵w̵e̵ ̵a̵r̵e̵ ̵o̵n̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵s̵a̵m̵e̵ ̵p̵a̵g̵e̵ ̵w̵h̵e̵n̵ ̵w̵e̵ ̵h̵a̵v̵e̵ ̵c̵h̵i̵l̵d̵r̵e̵n̵—̵p̵r̵e̵f̵e̵
Y̵o̵u̵r̵ ̵F̵u̵t̵u̵r̵e̵ ̵H̵u̵s̵b̵a̵n̵d̵
Mason Brisken
MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
Fans of romances where opposites attract will find this an enjoyable read that will warm your heart while bringing a smile to your face. Touching on family interactions while putting your heart on the line in the name of love, readers will enjoy this tale of a loving and loyal man falling for the outspoken teacher of his niece. While some of the story will feel familiar there’s enough heart and soul here to satisfy readers.
Mason Brisken just broke up with his long-term girlfriend....again. He may be ready for his HEA but he finally realized she wasn’t the one. But seeing his brothers become blissfully happy with their other halves has him determined to find his own. You find love when you least expect it though, and when he spies on his niece while she’s out on her first group date, he ends up in an unforgettable confrontation with the fiery Gabby. From that moment on he makes it his mission to be around her, pushing every one of her buttons in a combustible connection full of push and pull moments. Mason’s a man with a big heart, a loyal and protective one too...especially when it comes to his niece. At times he’s a bit overly protective though in scenes that almost felt soap opera-ish, but then he’d say something charming and I’d forgive him for it. He might not always think first when it comes to those he cares for, but his love for others is clear and just one appealing facet of the sexy and sincere Mason. On a whole I found him a delightful hero and I enjoyed his scenes with Gabby as they leapt off the page with both giving as good as they got.
Gabby Cruz is an outspoken woman, a teacher who’s protective of her students and strong in her convictions. It’s those qualities that led to her unexpected introduction to Mason after his protectiveness leads to her calling the cops and them in a surprising romance between two very strong-willed characters. Like Mason, Gabby’s very close to her family while living at home and teaching the youth of today. Growing up without a father strengthened the connection between her, her mother, and her sisters while making her doubt men and HEAs. Her recent breakup based on her ex’s lies has fueled her mistrust even more and leads to a relationship with Mason full of ups and downs that sometimes frustrated me. Despite that I liked Gabby’s fire, her strength in standing up for herself, and the more lighthearted side she brings out in Mason too. They’re crackling together and I found their sparring as they journeyed towards HEA very entertaining.
With an appealing main couple capable of making you laugh while steaming up the pages, readers will find these opposites utterly perfect together. With their strong sense of family and need to protect they’re a match made in Heaven who warmed my heart each time they were with their family as the feeling of love permeated each page. Occasionally their actions may have been over-the-top, but the intentions came from the right place and could be moved past quickly. Alongside this likable main couple was an equally entertaining cast of secondary characters, the family of Gabby and Mason’s brothers, and they were an eclectic bunch whose stories I’d like to go back and read or wait impatiently to have written. As the third book in the Brisken Brothers series this story CAN stand on its own but would be richer for seeing where the foundation between these three men started as their pasts are clearly having an affect on their futures. While there’s familiarity in much of the action on the page I still found this a satisfying read and recommend it to those looking for an unforgettable main couple with a romance you’ll be rooting for every step of the way.
My rating for this is a B-
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
