Brett's Little Headaches

Rate this book
Single mom Laurie Payne was just looking forward to a nice summer morning in the park with her boys. She wasn't expecting to meet the gruff but too sexy for his own good Billionaire Brett Cantone who seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. The two butt heads on first sight until Brett's body has a very telling reaction to her nearness when she gets in his face. Now this over possessive alpha is hot on her tail, and doesn't plan to let up until he gets what he wants. The hot young mother under him.

Soooooo basically, I am going to be lazy and not do my usual review, so meh.

A typical JS really, yes a HEA, no cheating etc.

And in GIF form, I shall give you the basic plot!

The hero comes along and is all sexy like, apparently



Then is over the top possessive.



The heroine is all:



whilst being all



At the same time.

A life follows filled with lots of children and lots of money!

The end!

Yet, I cannot stop reading JS books, no idea why, they are rather addicting.

But they do need some serious editing.

Reread 8/6/16

This is one of my favorite JS books. I love Brett and how he is with Laurie's boys.

Original review Nov 2015

Well, I just popped my Jordan Silver cherry...


Yes people, this is my first Jordan Silver book. I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was laughter, some HOT sex scenes, two cute little boys, one hard working mom, and one OTT male and I mean OVER THE TOP!

Brett just steam rolled his way into Laurie's life..And I loved every minute of it!

You know, in real life, this guy would be one scary mofo. I'd say, "Run Laurie! Run far, far way."


But, in my romance books I FUCKING love it!!

NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS BOOK ITS JUST ME

I thought her being a single mom would have been my major issue with this book.
Turns out I was wrong!

It was not but what really bothered me. It was that the Heroine got pregnant at 15 years old!!!
And she has a loving father figure in her life so this did not make any sense to me here.
I guess she was just THAT IN LOVE (she wasn't) OR THAT HORNY!
Either way it bothered me!
description
Sorry, can't get over that.
I know most people now a days have sex at that age and I get that, honestly I do!
But I don't want a romance book with that in it.
They say having a kid changes everything, but having teens for me changes everything.
If she had been slightly older it would not have been an issue.
I read it anyways but I feel I could not over look this issue.

Still LOVED the hero and his OTT behavior towards her and her kids was just awesome!
He was the best!
Just wished I could have enjoy it more!



Safety: it's totally safe from cheating, violence, drama, and no condoms she is on the pill.

Billionaire Brett Cantone is not have a good week, in fact it has left him surly and intolerable around others. When he sees two toddler making their way to his dog, he is ready to lash out at their mother. Single mom Laurie Payne sometimes thinks her two little hooligans don't understand the word no. Now they are playing with an unfamiliar dog and she is trying to get them away only to get scolded by the owner. Hackles rise and Laurie lays into Brett finger waving and all, Laurie doesn't know it yet but she sealed her fate to Brett and his alpha male is in full mode.

Brett knows Laurie is not quite sure about what he wants from her, but he is giving her two weeks to get on board and become his wife. He knows she is his one, no other woman will ever do and the boys are adorable, who could not want to be a dad to them. With plans in motion it is only a matter of time before Laurie begins to love him back.

This was fun, Brett is a little crazy overboard but you expect that with Jordan Silver books. I enjoyed that the kids were actively involved and that Laurie had a backbone. Great read.

I still really liked this book. I love Jordan Silver's OTT alphas and the insta-love between her MCs which in this case is cranky Brett and feisty Laurie with her twin boys.

Jordan Silver is known for her sexy, OTT alpha males and boy did she go all out with this one. When I finished reading it, I laughed because I had no idea how to rate this book. This guy was bat shit crazy. In real life, any girl would have been running for the hills. Brett’s a hot young multi-billionaire having a very bad week. He goes to a park and get’s in an argument with a 19 year old, single mother of twin boys named Laurie. He then decides he wants her, not just in the sack. For good. It was bizarre.

“Listen Laurie, I don’t know your whole life story, but what I do know so far I want. I want you and the boys and about six other little fuckers running around here…well not here but you get my meaning.

I don’t care that we just met, that’s not how I work. I go with my gut, always have and it hasn’t steered my wrong yet.”

What made it work though was even though he acted all alpha caveman on her, even though he rolled over her like a steam engine, he was just so sweet. His inner monologue had me cracking up. He knew he was acting like a crazy person, but he just didn’t care. He wanted her, he wanted her cute little hooligans, and he wanted it to happen NOW!

“You’re so cute when you’re being funny. By the way, try not to mention you having relationships with other guys, it makes me just a tad fucking nuts.”

No way in real life would any of this ever have happened. Police would have been called. A long time ago, I was a young single mother with a toddler and no one got introduced to my baby girl until way into the dating relationship. That doesn’t mean I didn’t dream of being swept off of my feet by a multi-billionaire prince charming. If you don’t mind completely suspending reality (and your WTF reflex too) for a quick, cute, bat shit crazy read, Brett’s Little Headaches is a book you should read.

I really liked this story. Thought it was so sweet! But it would not be a JS book without hot sex!
Loved Brett, the dog, the kids (chaos and mayhem - not their real names) and Laurie. Brett's inner monologues are hilarious. Especially the ones pointed to his ex-dog!!!! It is an easy, stress free read. No angst or drama.

Oh god, this hero was certifiable. Lmao. He's crazy OTT and not in a hot way. You can't really take this too seriously since it seems more like a woman's fantasy. The poor single mother who is barely making ends meet mets a hot, rich billionaire who falls instantly in love with her and her little boys and wants to give them the world. It was eye-roll worthy but an entertaining read for a couple hours.

Another note, this badly needs an editor! Formatting was all messed up, dialogues were being separated into paragraphs without any indication and many grammar and spelling mistakes.

dnf @ 8%


the mmc was an a-hole and not in a fun or hot way, and the fmc showed already how spineless she is. trusting her kids with a jerk stranger because of the sudden attraction is a sure way to kill my interest. she didn't even mind that he snapped and insulted her and her twins awhile ago. i'm sorry, girly, did you get an amnesia in the last few minutes or so??? so yeah, dnf it is.

DNF 4%... and that was too much reading. I feel like I just killed brain cells or something. They’re cursing in front of 3 yo’s and the psycho mom gets in a big sexy stranger’s face and the stranger gets a hard on at the psycho lady challenging him in front of her vulnerable and impressionable 3 yo twins. I can’t deal with this level of trashy because it’s reality for so many innocent kids. Hard NOPE.

Also, is this a real author or are these ghost-written books?

Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trope: instalove, single mom
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥

Super hot and completely over the top read! PERFECT as a palate cleanser between heavier reads. Total over the top hero that busts into heroines life, takes control and her birth control as well, lol. The billionaire steam roller with the poor, young single mom of twins. He had me cracking up with his antics. Absolute deliciousness!

IDK why I keep reading these. It's getting clear I'm not gonna get anything fun (anymore) - maybe not unless I read one of her EIGHTEEN series. And - right now - I'm kinda like fuck that.

I mean, Silver writes in a very shit style. She hasn't meet a comma that she didn't have a huge GRUDGE against. Almost all her heroines are the same. ALL her heroes are the same.

It's like reading a train-wreck.

The story was cute enough but the hero and heroine meet and they snipe back and forth with each other and then all of a sudden the hero is in love with our heroine and her two little boys. It was just "ah-ha", "she turns me on, so I love her". It really didn't work with me. The hero was super possessive (which I don't mind too much) but his just seemed majorly OTT. It was super insta love right away and I didn't buy it.

However, I did like how he was all about the boys' being his right away. I thought that was sweet. I just had problems with his attitude sometime. Even though it was dual pov it was mostly from his pov and his crazy stalker tendencies.

The book needs some major editing. I'm not a writer but when the character is talking and a new paragraph starts there is always a " at the beginning of the next paragraph. It wasn't like that in this book and it drove me mad! I wouldn't know where the dialogue stopped and the thoughts began. It was super confusing.

All in all, I think you can skip this book. Not too much to write home about. The writing was super fast paced and it didn't work with me. There really wasn't any character development and the story just fell flat. It was entertaining at parts but nothing that would induce me to read anything else by this author.

A testement to Jordan Silver's storytelling abilities is she can have me love a book which has triggers I avoid.

Heroine in this book has twins after having sex only once with a friend who abandoned her. Normally I would avoid tropes like this. In fact I only recently didn't finish a book with a similar trope but the storytelling was so compelling in this book that this trope didn't annoy me.
Loved seeing how caveman like the hero was. He saw the heroine, fell in love with her and wasted no time rushing her into an intense romance.

The end was really lol...the hero so over the top alpha caveman experienced the pregnacy as the heroine did...So funny!!

Outrageous and OTT 3.5****
I enjoyed it (in book world lol)

Brett is certifiable and Laurie knows this.

He is a very rich man, and she is a hard working single parent of adorable 3 year old twins.
They meet at a park and the middle of some insults between the two, Brett totally loses his mind.

This is a quick ride, with just another JS OTT everything man and the woman that has no choice but to hang on.

The alpha male in this story is extreme. At one point I thought his actions might be considered bullying but it wasn't because he was just too sweet with it. I smiled and laughed my way through the stories and loved how he got affected by the pregnancy. Great epilogue?

Wow, mixed emotions.
The h is a very young single mother of twins boys (who are very cute) and she meets cute with the H. He proceeds to go from irritated to INSTA-LOVE in about 30 seconds. The rest of the book is the H railroading and stalking wooing the h.

He is not just an alpha male he is pretty much a full on stalker except he has a nice family and some charm.

I can't just give it 1 star as it has moments of great humor and charm. The hero is quite funny and self-deprecating, but he is still runs in stalker mode. Some readers will love it, and some may go homicidal. I have read a lot of Kristen Ashley's Chaos series lately, and elements of this writing remind me of her heroes with the way they talk to the heroine. If Sense and Sensibility is your idea of a romance, then run girl, but if you are more Ride Steady then sit right down.

One other issue that dragged the stars down was quite a bit of poor grammar and bad editing. In 2016, with all the software available as well as eager beta readers, that is just not acceptable.

I would certainly give the author another try as her voice is fun and sassy.

P.S. Looking through Silver's booklist, it turns out I have read another book of hers, Taking What He Wants, a one star if I've ever read one.

This book is absurd. It’s completely ridiculous and absolutely outrageous. And I loved it.
So first you need to understand that this books is complete and total fiction so if you want realism (even a little bit) in your books do not read this, you won’t be able to enjoy it. Take it as a paranormal/fantasy book where the shifter/vampire/cyborg/alien/whatever not completely human finds his mate with only a look, and then goes completely bonkers over-protectively. If you like those kind of books you could like this one.

Brett is so OTT he borders, ok let’s not lie, falls completely in, being a freaking psycho. But his inner monologues are just hilarious and he even scares the crap out of himself with the way he reacts.

Laurie is a 19 year old single mother of 3 year-old twins who always dreamt about being a stay at home mom.

They meet at the park, sparks fly and a couple of hours later he is telling his mother “I just met your future daughter in law”.
As Laurie says, Brett has only one speed, warp. And the whole books is about Brett getting Laurie to catch up to his speed.
I know this story is completely preposterous. It’s not at all believable. But it was a quick read and I laughed at how terribly alpha this dude is.

There are a few editing/typo issues that I think any beta reader would catch, so I’m a bit confuse as to why they’re there, but hey, it didn’t prevent me from following the story and I had fun and that’s all I really care about.

*3.75* I stopped reading JS books because she'd gone the serial route, and then her alphas were usually big assholes with no redeeming sweet side. However, this book was different. Brett was alpha, possessive and overly jealous, but he had a whole lot of sweet. He can also be psychotically obsessive, but since it's fiction, I decided to roll with it especially the insta-insta-love in this one, so be warned.

I found this book humorous actually, Brett's inner monologue made me LOL a couple of times. Now, I must caution that there may be a trigger.

What the hell did I just read? Because of the lack of editing I couldn't make head nor tail of half of what was written. I got the OTT alpha bordering on a stalker and a young single mum, but by then I had lost interest.

How an unedited book can get the ratings it is getting is totally beyond me.

ha. totally not realistic. meeting a guy, let alone a multi billionaire and having him want you and your kids within hours of meeting. but hey, that what these books are for and I loved the fantasy. Brett was your typical alpha while Laurie was a cute cautious little thing as she should be. it was entertaining and cute watching Brett go crazy over her and the kids.

This book was just so over the top, over the top , that I can't even wrap my head around it! The extreme alpha male with a hint (or a truckload) of crazy stirred together with some funny as shit reasoning and use of language is Jordan Silver's trademark by now.

This time was no different, which I of course love! Ain't nothing like it when you're in the mood. But our hero Brett in this book is totally batshit, should-be-locked-up, crazy.
He's so ridiculously jealous, possessive and bossy that I just couldn't grasp what the f I was reading, haha! But boy was it entertaining.


I seriously question what kind of mother Laurie is though. I mean, she let's a man she's "known" for like 10 hours, to bathe her two two-year-old twins. To dress them. To take them to the bathroom. Hmm....WHO does that?? It's so creepy. Brett could have been a shady pervert. Just sayin'!
Crazy I say.

The beginning of this book was promising, for page and a half it was fun, but then it went downhill really fast. The main character was borderline psychotic, with obsessive personality and criminal intentions. This book reads as prepubescent girl fantasy with all stereotypes and cliches you can think of. Do not recommend it to anybody

I liked the JP H in this one, but I wasn't really a fan of the h. The character didn't always make sense to me, she'd be strong and mostly independent one moment, then wishy-washy the next. And the editing could have been a little better, but it's not the worst that I've seen by this author. But the short story was fun and just the right amount of dirty.

FIVE STARSSSSS TIMES FIVE!!!

Hahaha. This is the best Jordan Silver for me. It's not too short like most of the books I have of her and not too long like The Gambler. But what I love about it the most was that it was a no-mind-fuckery kind of book; just plain old love affair that sizzled with high-strung intimate tension. MY KIND OF LOVE STORY.

In the past few weeks of binge-reading, I was bombarded with tons of drama, crazy plots, and over-the-top sex in the sack that I could almost feel my brain pop.

But not Brett and Laurie. This book is what I was--almost--accustomed to and my comfort zone. It's what I want to read since I started binge-reading again. Thank you, JS.

I love the plot and the characters in the background--the twins, Brett's mom, Laurie's dad, Gunther. It was a perfect mix for me. And there was no drama whatsoever. The story went on a fast pace (too fast perhaps with Brett falling in love at first sight and joining Laurie and the kids' lives in a snap). The love scenes were hot but not the usual kinky-fuckery; vanilla with a twist.

I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
