Warning - 18+ due to sexual content.

Kenza nightclub owner, Ruben McKenzie can have any woman he wants, but the only woman he wants is Rosie—his sweet innocent employee, who happens to be eleven years his junior. Watching her parade her hot little body around his club, serving drinks completely unaware of the attention she attracts is driving him to distraction. But when he sees a regular getting close to her, all bets are off.

Rosie has had more than enough life experience, but when it comes to matters of the heart—the one place that Ruben wants in—she’s completely innocent. Having no family of her own, it’s a dream to be invited to a McKenzie family gathering. Rosie always wanted to belong to a family like the McKenzie’s, but she’s afraid that if she gives her heart to Ruben and things don’t work she’ll be crushed, beyond repair.

Neither one of them may be able to keep their distance for long. The trouble that has been brewing at Kenza finally comes to a head, and when Rosie finds herself caught up in it, how far will Ruben go to protect her?

~*~*~*~

In this third installment of the McKenzie Brothers series you’ll learn more about the two remaining brothers, Lucien and Ramon. New players, Hunter and Julian, will be introduced.

None of my books have cliffhangers and they can be read as standalone, but to get the full background on the rest of the family then I do suggesting reading Seduce, The Wedding and Rapture first.

Received this book through WeLoveKink.com in exchange for a review



rated 5 across the board!!

As with all the brothers Ruben is doomed to fall, but if you read any of the previous books you would already know that... smiles. Watching the fall of Ruben McKenzie will be a joy... as with Michael and Sebastian.

Ruben thinks he has what he needs... he thinks he isn’t ready... and low and behold all he thinks about is his employee Rosie. Rosie is smart, sassy.. sweet and all that, though she is holding on to some trust issues, for good reason. Rosie may know what she wants, but doesn’t think she deserves it or that she will be enough woman for a man like Ruben.
They both work together... Ruben being her boss they both know what ever it is.. is off limits. Just a simple kiss will get things snowballing for both of them. There is something not so good happening at Kenza if you remember, there is a handsome sexy man hanging around flirting with Rosie, there are a few female sniffing around Ruben.
Of course Ruben's brothers will be as much help to him, as he was to Michael and Sebastian. I so loved the interaction between all the characters. The mother you wont be able to help yourself in adoring. The family is a family... fighting, playing loving and being there. Ms Buchanan did a amazing job with the sexual detail, very squirm worthy and felt the heat form from my kindle. :)
Whats not to love about any of the McKenzies! From the parents to the brothers, and all in between. I had the pleasure of reviewing this 3rd installment and as the ones before simply loved it! Cant even find any neg to say about it. The pace, the length the details was all that is amazing!
Thank you Ms Buchanan for such a wonderful experience! Enjoy I did!!

Gifted a copy for an honest review! The McKenzie brothers series is amazing. This time we have Rueben owner of Kenza. Well he is a lot of heat that packs a punch. Rosie is very sassy and has a good head on her shoulders. Lexi Buchanan always brings the love, the alpha and the sass with her writing. What I like is how she spins the story and continues to bring powerful characters. Will Rueben and Rosie be able to overcome the rumors and complete each other?

So I have been patiently waiting for this book to come out on May 20th ever since I read the end of Rapture, so I was screaming with delight,(pun can be intended if you want!)when I woke up this morning to an email that it came out today, 2 days earlier! I have to say that I LOVED,LOVED,LOVED this book! It had just enough of everything from sex, scheming, suspense and a whole lot of Mckenzie brothers to make me read the whole thing in one sitting without batting an eye and telling my husband that I would do whatever he wanted if he would keep the children entertained till I completed this book! I have to admit that I didn't necessarily hate Rapture but I didn't love it either, being it was only the second book I read of her's, so I was kind of skeptical coming into reading this, but I am so glad that I did because Lexi Buchanan did not disappoint! Can't wait to read what happens with Lucien now! That little tease at the end had me feeling all sorts of dirty things that it is going to be really hard for me to wait patiently for his book to come out but I will! :)

Bi-polar characters, annoying heroine, hero I wanted to slap and annoying siblings and friends!! That thing with Hinter and Rosie was weird too! Her sleeping in another man's arms whose not your boyfriend. I really didn't like her! Enough said.

I didn't feel like there was any real substance to this story. I didn't really connect with the characters, the story of problems with the club fell a bit flat and we are left with quite a few unanswered questions. I'm really disappointed with this one as it had so much potential.

4.5⭐

Delight is a fabulously hot story. That is full of kinky (ish) Sex, an age gap romance, family drama and likable characters. And to be fair, it's probably my favourite of the series and certainly Ruben and Rosie are my favourite couple, because no matter how many times I read this story, I always enjoy how their romance grows. Even though there is tons of angst and drama along the way. And for some reason, of all the McKenzie brothers, I genuinely have a soft spot for Ruben. Plus, you get to discover so much more about the other single McKenzies in this story.

And I would definitely recommend it to others, especially if you like your romances big on family and hot sex as this one definitely ticks those boxes and more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

REVIEW: DELIGHT is the third instalment in Lexi Buchanan’s contemporary, adult McKenzie Brothers erotic romance series focusing on the five McKenzie brothers and the women (and men) they love. This is Ruben McKenzie and Rosie’s storyline. Ruben is the owner of the Kenza nightclub where Rosie serves drinks and tends bar. Ruben has been attracted to Rosie since the day she was hired at the club but he has had a hands off policy when it comes to the staff-until the day Rosie lets him know exactly how she feels. This the third full length storyline in the series but it can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty although it is better to read in order as many of the previous storyline characters-including the entire McKenzie clan-play minor roles throughout the story.

The focus of the storyline is the building relationship between Ruben and Rosie but also the strange happenings inside the Kenza nightclub. From fights, to break ins, to questionable individuals Ruben suspects that something is going down but finding proof is difficult when the staff are your number one suspects.

The relationship between Ruben and Rosie is hot, sensual, seductive and steamy. Ruben is a man who likes a little kink with his sex and Rosie is a woman who has a difficult time overcoming the memories of her past.

The secondary characters include all of the McKenzie brothers, Ruben’s parents and the introduction of Hunter and Julian-a former marine who aids in the stake out with Ruben’s staff. There is plenty of humor with the matriarch Pippa McKenzie when the family get together for Sunday dinners, and she is all up in the McKenzie’s boys’ business when it comes to love and relationship. This is a woman who desperately wants grandchildren and she knows a good thing when she sees Ruben and Rosie together.

DELIGHT is a sexually erotic storyline about two people who have wanted one another for a very long time but their age difference and experience has kept them apart. Lexi Buchanan pulls the reader into a story of family and friendship; love and understanding; and giving in to the desires that control your heart and your soul.

Delight is my favorite in this series by far. Ruben McKenzie has it all. Money, sex appeal, a body to die for, an amazing family, he just is lacking one thing, ROSIE. Rosie is an employee of Ruben, and that alone is the only reason that he has not touched her. But after months of trying to keep his distance from this smart mouthed women, he acts on his feelings. Even though Ruben's head is telling him that Rosie is too young, too innocent, he just couldn't keep his attraction to her in check. Once he had a taste of her, he knew he would only want her. Only she would satisfy his cravings.

Rosie has heard rumors and talk around the club of how sexually experienced Ruben is. She has heard rumors that he is into kinky sex, bondage, and toys. Rosie has a past, one that she is still troubled by. Will Rosie be able to open up to Ruben? Will Rosie trust Ruben with her heart? Will she ever be open to Ruben's sexual preference? The sexual chemistry between Ruben and Rosie is fierce !!! The two of them can't keep their hands off each other, when they are in private, but will their relationship even become public? Ruben is known as a player, will he ever settle down with one woman. Is there one woman capable of taming his sexual drive?

Rosie is a very observant and she has been seeing things going on at the club and doesn't know how to handle the situation. She sees who may be involved, but doesn't know if she goes to Ruben and advises him of this, will he believe her. Ruben knows that there are things going on at his club that he needs to put a stop to, he just needs to get all the facts and evidence in order to do so. When Rosie is in the middle of this and hears things that she wasn't supposed to her, she becomes a threat. Will Ruben protect what is his? Does he consider Rosie his?

Delight had several twists and turns, and left me tuning each page quickly to see what was going to happen next. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading the remaining books in this series.

As with previous McKenzie brother stories this is all about watching Ruben fall and its so much fun to watch ........
Ruben McKenzie owns Kenza Nightclub and Rosie is an employee ....
Ruben is a hot alpha male who can have any woman he wants but all he can think about is Rosie.
Rosie is smart and sassy but she has some trust issues. She has fallen head over heals for Ruben but believes she is far to innocent and cannot give him what she believes (from rumors) is what he wants and needs.
There is something not quite right at Kenza.......
Things are happening that has Ruben wondering what is going on in his own club. Rosie gets caught in a fist fight and this leads to a simple kiss from Ruben but is is simple ...
As always there are women falling at Rubens feet but now we have a hot sexy guy who is flirting with Rosie thrown into the mix.
Ruben's brother's will always step in to help out and as always we also have the adoring mother who just wants her boys settled down and maybe giving her a few grand kids.
I love the McKenzie brothers and this is a hot steamy romance that will have you wanting more and as always we get our HEA
This is the third installment of The McKenzie Brothers and it can be read as a stand alone but i would recommend reading Seduce, The Wedding and Rapture first.
Thank You Lexi Buchanan i loved it and I'm looking forward to more from those hot McKenzie boys !!!!!!
This book was given to me by the author for a honest review

Delight by Lexi Buchanan is the third in the Mckenzie Brothers Series, and my favorite thus far. I really enjoyed the direction this story took. The story of Ruben and Rosie was hinted in the previous episodes, but became much more enveloping in this edition.Although Lucien is still my favorite McKenzie brother, I was fascinated at how much both Rosie and Ruben changed and developed in their relationship. I also LOVED the special addition with a peek into Ramon. As always, it was great to catch up with the previous main characters and see how their lives have remained strong and steady. Although this is an extremely HOTT, erotic novel, I am always pleasantly surprised at how well Lexi Buchanan develops the story and back stories. A really terrific read.

Damn! Ruben and Rosie!! These two have been clashing for awhile now and there is definitely sexual tension between the two of them!!
Every time I re-read this series, I feel that I am back amongst family and I get the FEELS every time!!
If you haven't read this series yet, you are in for a treat! If you have read The Bad Boy Rockers then you may be familiar with Ruben and his club, Kenza.
Trouble is afoot at the club and it's driving Ruben insane! He doesn't like asking for help but feels he needs the support of his brothers to get to the bottom of what is going on. Throw in his attraction to Rosie and Ruben is grumpy and distracted. Rosie is no shrinking violet either, which I love!!
Buckle up Buttercups!!

Got to love those McKenzie brothers. This is Ruben and Rosie's story. Ruben likes his toys and Rosie is innocent and doesn't like to tied up. Which makes Rosie think that Ruben won't want her. But she is so wrong.

You find out that something bad happen to Rosie which makes her frightened of what Ruben likes in bed. But Ruben shows her that he doesn't need that with her. Which I think is very sweet.

Oh, and I thought Jacky was bad, but Simon makes her look not as bad as I thought she was.

Can't wait for Entice (Lucien and Sabrina's story)

This book 3, Delight, was GREAT!! Not only did it mention my absolute favorite book series, BDB, but it also had some suspense put in it. Absolutely wonderful!! I'm glad that Ruben was able to love Rosie any way he could & not only by he previous ways. You know I just figured it out, Ruben has a little matchmaker inside him. He's been trying ever since book one with Michael in some way shape or form. It really is hilarious! But Sebastian the clown might just be my favorite.

Lexi Buchanan each book gets better than the last

This is Ruben and Rosie's story. I've been patiently waiting for their time and Ms Buchanan did not let me down. A man who likes to be in control and a young woman, whose background causes her to be very wary.
It is a wonderful story full of everything that we have come to expect from Ms Buchanan.
Of course we also catch up with all the other McKenzie family members - that's always a bonus.
5 star read for me.
Next is Lucien's story - I can't wait.

I didn't like Rueben's story as much as liked Lucien's. I loved the basis of the book (hot alpha boss & employee trope gets me all the time) but the execution wasn't as polished as it needed tobe to earn that solid 4 star rating. The drama felt a bit contrived and I'm disappointed that Rosie accepted Rueben's back so soon after the way that break up went down (whether he meant it or not). That ending felt a bit anticlimactic without Rueben's grovelling.

As usual the McKenzie Brothers have managed to entertain, entice, and excite with there love for each other and there women and like the previous 2.5 books Delight gives what we expected and then some. Ruben and Rosie were great and I can't wait to see what developes with the remaining 2 McKenzie brothers and 2 new friends...

Ruben is reluctant to get involved with Rosie because she works for him even though he has been drawn to her from the moment he hired her to wok at his bar. When he finally gives in the pages are steaming up. There are serval misunderstandings that had me wanting to knock their heads together. Another fab addition. To the series.

Love the cover but it is definitely misleading. The story started out pretty good but it didn't take it long to get a little boring. I'm not sure what it was but I couldn't stay interested. Don't get me wrong, I really like Lexi's books but I just didn't like this one.
