5 SMOOCHES!
SYNOPSIS:
I got the call. The dreaded call every child fears. My dad wasn’t well, and the man who had always been my everything needed me.
There was only one thing to do; pack up and head back to my hometown. I had finally made my dream life in the city with the great job and loving boyfriend. But was there really a choice not to go?
I found a wonderful job, a quaint house to rent, my boyfriend was working on joining me in Binghamton, and my favorite pizza place was only miles away. Life was good.
Until I met my neighbor.
It’s been three years since I’d seen Aaron Walters, and my God is he all kinds of sexy gorgeous. Figures. He was supposed to be my forever, the man I grew old with, but he had different plans. How can a man who ripped my heart apart still trip me up? How can he make me still want him now more than ever?
I’m tempted, I’m drawn toward him, I’m completely and utterly unaware that I’m dating his biological brother.
Now two men own my heart. The question is, which brother will I choose?
REVIEW:
I have yet to read a book written by Meghan Quinn that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. The way that she effortlessly blends humor and emotion is unique and addictive. Her books are so funny, and her sense of humor is so vivid and wild. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hilarious antics and witty banter that I forget this author is capable of bringing me to my knees with powerful feelings—something that she does to me every single time.
I was drawn right into Amelia and Aaron’s story from the first page. I adore second chance romances, especially when it’s a second chance at first love, and theirs was nostalgic and heartbreaking and passionate and absolutely everything I want in this kind of story. The connection between the two of them may have been broken years earlier, but the sizzling chemistry between them was proof that it wasn’t severed. They had so much sorrow and regret to sift through, and I was as rocked with emotion in those moments as they were.
Aaron kept secrets about his past and his childhood when they were together the first time. He didn’t share his demons with Amelia—she knew they were there, but she no understanding of what they were. It wasn’t until they reconnected that she gained this knowledge. Devastatingly handsome, gallant and charming, Aaron was a broken but beautiful soul, and I loved this lethally swoon-worthy hero. Amelia was the light in his otherwise dark world, and she whip-smart and sassy. These two were meant for each other, and no amount of time or distance could change the simple fact that they were positively perfect together.
Packed with feels, this was an emotional, sexy, romantic and real love story that made my heart ache as often as it raced. Meghan Quinn’s The Other Brother is just the kind of story that I read romance to experience. Five smooches from me!
