Scorned by Marie Long
3rd and final book in The Anderson Brothers series. Contemporary romance. Written in present tense from the male perspective in his mid 20’s.
Michael, the oldest brother quits underground fighting and reconciles with his family. While undergoing the transition he meets the love of his life, Lexi.
I liked this book the best out of the three because of the reduced swearing and t&a comments. Still too much of it, but the focus is more on his feelings of misplaced guilt, and wanting to rebuild relationships with his brothers as well as trying to clean up a crime syndicate.
The epilogue wrapped up everything for the three brothers.

Scorned is the last book in the Anderson brothers series and it finished up their story with their older brother Michael. His story intrigued me the most because we learned very little about him throughout the other two books and I was interested in how he would fit in with the family we had come to know. There are a few storylines going on. I very much enjoyed the family dynamics and was rooting for the siblings to work out their differences. Then you have each man's side story and romantic entanglements, which I didn't enjoy as much, but I do appreciate a good happily every after. Michael's book had some extra intrigue that involved him and Lexi solving a crime that added to the overall story.

If you have not met the Anderson Brothers yet all I have to say is you need to. Michael aka Knox was my favorite story yet.
Micheal has been running from his demons for a long time. His brothers want nothing to do with him and he doesn't blame them. As he meets Lexi and finally figures out what to do with his life, he has a long way to go of mending old wounds. It was emotional to follow him as he reunites with his family, forgives himself, and finds love.
Lexi was witty, funny, serious, and strong. I loved the way she "introduced" herself to Michael. She is also battling some demons from her past. Her and Michael have a steamy relationship with its ups and downs.
Ms. Long has always done a great job of writing interesting characters that suck you into the story. What I loved about this book was it has romance and suspense. Illegal underground fighting, computer hacking, fighting, a family hell bent on destruction. I could not stop turning the pages because I needed to see what was next. Ms. Long even threw in some twists and turns that I had me saying What?!?!
I will definitely miss the Anderson brothers.

This book was good, even though it was not my favorite of the series, I loved Dominick's story more. But this was a very well written book, the history was amazing. Very good.
