Synopsis
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling indie author Nicole Edwards comes the final scorching installment in her Alluring Indulgence series, erotic romances featuring the Texan Walker brothers and their sizzling-hot love interests.
Brendon Walker’s life was altered drastically when his twin brother fell in love. Coming to grips with his new reality hasn’t been an easy road, and he fears he’s all but given up.
Cheyenne Montgomery is familiar with the spotlight, and she’s familiar with fame. What she isn’t familiar with is the incredible lure of the sexy Walker brother who makes her heart beat wildly. Seeing him spiral out of control has been tough on her. So what will it take for Cheyenne to convince him that change can be a good thing?
Review
“Why are you smiling?” “Because I think you’re cute.” “Cute? You seriously did not just call me cute.” “I did.” “I’m not cute.” “Oh, but you are.”
How sad are we to see the Alluring Indulgence series come to a close and while I am positive that I ill fall hard for Nicole’s other characters coming too the Walker brothers will always be my first love from her. Brendon is an emotional and scorching hot end to a series that proved to me that good guys can be as sexy as any bad boy.
“It didn’t fit at all with all the assumptions he’d been making about her all along. Just more proof that Cheyanne Montgomery was too damn good for the likes of him.”
I feel like I have been through a rollercoaster of emotions when it comes to Brendon. I loved his and Braydon’s fun care free ways in the early books and as their stories developed more I felt both sad for him and anger over how he handled the situations he was forced into. Depressed and bitter Brendon is walking around wasting the blessed life he has been given and earned. Now is finally the time for him to move past it all and come into his own.
“Heavens. She wasn’t sure she was going to survive him. But she was damn sure going to try.”
Cheyenne has not had the easy life that everyone expects from the country starlet. That plus the fact that she has no desire to be “shared” has pushed her away from a man she felt a real connection to. Brendon and Cheyenne have been on each other’s lives but kept their distance because both are convinced they cannot ever truly have the other. But now that his brother is settles and moving on Brendon is starting to realize he wants the same thing. Now to just claim the woman he has known was his.
“Holy fuck, did you seriously not wear panties?” “I didn’t wear them, just for you.” “You’re a naughty girl, you know that?” “Only for you.”
Brendon felt fresh and new to me in the Alluring Indulgence series. With a mysterious subplot involving a stalker and the men of Sniper 1 Security, Nicole has managed to seamlessly cross over her new series and has me fully intrigued and wanting more from them. Brendon is deliciously alpha and protective and loves Cheyenne with everything he has. Brendon starts with him taking care of her in her time of need and I loved the fact that he never stops. Their story is endearing and exciting and the epilogue had me almost in tears catching up with all those I have come to love.
“You are the brightest light in my darkest days.”
While told in third person, which is not always my favorite, Brendon is a smooth and easy read that I was able to do in one day. I could not put it down and was looking for any opportunity to sneak back to Bren and Chey and their sweet and sexy story. While it is incredibly sad that the series is coming to an end I am happy that while the end is here I am certain we will see more from these boys in future series.
