The Other Brother by Tierney PageMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
While checking out the discounted books at K-Mart last weekend, this one caught my eye. Then I decided to check it out to see if it grabbed me... and I couldn't stop reading. LOL.
When April's fiancé, Lucas, betrays her trust and breaks her heart, she's devastated. But with the help of her good friends, Anna and Gemma, as well as her sweet cat, Basil, she starts picking up the pieces. Then falls for someone new: Lucas's younger brother...
Like I said above, I couldn't put this book down, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
At first, I thought the forbidden romance aspect might end up being problematic because of the brother thing, but it wasn't. To be honest, I actually thought the chemistry between April and James shone a lot brighter than April and Lucas. And Lucas is such a jerk anyway, so I didn't care about that douche.
This is such a great story. Not just because the heat between April and James sizzles off the page, but also because at its core, April's book is about how she finds her way back to trusting someone else after the ultimate betrayal. And how leaning on her friends strengthens her motivation and steers April towards finding her way back to herself.
I loved Anna and Gemma, by the way. Between Anna's sarcasm and Gemma's sexcapades, there are a lot of funny interactions between these three friends. And the same goes for James and his bandmates.
Overall, this is a well written, very romantic love story between two people who are made for each other. It kept me glued to the pages and had me rooting for the two leads.
Very fun story!
