Bulletproof #2
Branded
It was a chance meeting in paradise that caused them to cross paths. Destiny brought them together.
These two alpha males met with the force of a head-on collision. Sirens went off and lit up their hearts faster than a flash fire. But now that they’re living in the real world, everything isn’t as easy as anticipated. Other than their strong-willed and dominant personalities, they couldn’t be more opposite.
As the front man for a world-famous heavy metal band, Brandon Bullet lives in the spotlight. He thrives on the attention of his fans and the wild parties that all rock stars are accustomed to.
The free-spirited attitude and uninhibited lifestyle that is so natural to Brandon totally contradicts with Cameron Douglas’ anal-retentive and structured mindset. Spurred on by a thirst for adventure, Cameron is ready to leave behind his sedate, low-key life, but he is unprepared for the rock star’s world of free sex, drugs, and non-stop parties.
Concessions aren’t always easy when thrust into a new relationship, especially with two headstrong men who constantly challenge one another. Add time apart from Bulletproof’s promotional tour, and it’s another layer of adjustment to contend with that may push this newly-united couple too far.

After meeting Brandon and Cam in The Undercover Rock Star and totally falling in love with them, I was so excited that they were getting this full-length story. I'm happy to report that Branded is a fantastic follow-up that gives us our wonderful pair of alphas in their constant tug of war for dominance while trying to navigate the crazy ups and downs of real life in a rock star's world.
One of the best parts of Cam and Brandon's relationship is their ongoing battle for control-which makes for some wickedly hot intimate scenes that can take your breath away. But there's more to making this matchup work than the intense chemistry they share in the bedroom (and anywhere else you can think of)...and when it comes to Cam dealing with Brandon's life on the road, it becomes almost overwhelming.
Just like in their sex life, there's a constant push and pull going on as Cam tries to come to grips with the insanity that is a rock star's life, and the mounting tension had me totally wrapped up in the story. I found myself truly worried, because everything about the two of them together is just so RIGHT that you don't want to imagine any other outcome than them staying as a couple.
Loved the story, and Brandon and Cam are easily my favorite rockstar romance couple. 5 stars for Branded, and I hope we get to see more of them in upcoming books! Recommended for M/M rockstar romance fans (and just M/M romance fans in general) who are 18+ due to adult language and M/M sexual content...sizzling hot, double-alpha heated content ;-)

I have never made it a secret that I love Jenna Galicki’s writing. Ohhh this book! I loved it. I feel like the Grinch and my heart grew adding Cam and Brandon to it right alongside Angel, Tommy and Jessi.
I am left smiling and wishing I had more of these two handsome fella’s. More, more, more please.
It was interesting seeing how their relationship goes through so many ups and downs. It was a learning curve they each had to learn to fit into each other’s lives. I think I said something about growing pains in another review this week and that totally fits with this story.
Learning to be together and learning to be together apart, but also having to learn to deal with each other pasts. Compromise is the name of the game and when you love each other as much as these two do, you make it work…Insert Swoon here. :D
I have the warm fuzzies and I didn't want it to end. I am invested in this band and in Cam and Brandon. You know when you finish a book and you have that smile on your face like wow that was good. Yep that is me right now.

É stato strano legge un romance in cui la storia d'amore è già iniziata, in cui io lettrice non sapevo nulla e i due protagonisti tutto. Ho fatto un po' di fatica ad inquadrare Cam e Brandon, perché l'autrice parte senza svelare molto e ce li lascia conoscere in modo graduale, attraverso i loro incontri quotidiani, attraverso le loro azioni e le loro parole.
Questo libro è soprattutto il racconto di come due uomini dominanti, con caratteri forti e volitivi abbiano voluto trovare un equilibrio tra ciò che sono, ciò che hanno e ciò che vorrebbero avere. Vederli messi alle strette dallo loro stessa storia che si cementa e dal loro amore che cresce, è stato intrigante. Assistere a come, a piccoli passi, abbiano compreso i bisogni dell'altro ed abbiano deciso di intervenire sulle loro abitudini per venirsi incontro, è stato appassionante.
Mi è piacito molto anche lo sguardo franco e privo di censure, così come di condanne, sul backstage del mondo della musica hard rock. E la musica è decisamente il terzo protagonista del romanzo, è presente ovunque, vibra in ogni parola, scorre dalle vene di Brandon fino al lettore, tumultuosa e travolgente.
Pur parlando di rock, Un marchio sul cuore ha un ritmo calmo, quasi intimo, che permette ai sentimenti di crescere e alle perosanlitá di evolvere.
Lo stile é scorrevole e piacevolmente fluido.
La copertina è veramente azzeccata.

I received this book free for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book it was really good watching Cameron and Brandon make a go of their relationship.
I enjoyed that not everything was perfect and that doubts and insecurities took hold sometimes. The dynamic between the two Mcs was really good and I found myself really rooting for them.
I did get frustrated though when it took them so long to come up with solutions to problems arising from their careers. But I suppose to get a good book which this was some time had to be spent debating how a touring band and an accountant could make things work.
I really loved how Cameron came into himself and surprised Brandon by the end of the book with his knowledge of music.
The relationship between the rest of the band and Cameron was really good too. They were so helpful, respectful and good hearted about him and the relationship. I would really love books with them as the main Mcs.
This had good writing and it was just the right length to make you want more of the two Mcs without being drawn out.
The sex scenes were hot and there wasn't too many thrown in for them to distract from the story.
This was well written and an enjoyable read. And you didn't need to read the short story before either to enjoy reading it.

Everything I was hoping for! I was so excited to get more Cam and Brandon. These two are so incredible together, totally different with some things but just a like in others.
Since Cam surprised Brandon in the last book these two have been inseparable. Getting to know each other and learning to deal with the problems that keep coming up in their relationship. These two are sexy, sweet and down right loveable. Not only will you fall in love with them but also the guys in the band and the lady in Cam's life Brandy.
I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to see what else Jenna is going to bring us with the rest of the series.

'Branded' is a full length book that takes place immediately after the events of 'The Undercover Rock Star'. I loved every minute of reading this as I found myself completely immersed in Cameron and Brandon's story.
Cameron, the accountant, and Brandon, the rock star, are as polar opposite you can get. Brandon's lifestyle lends itself to wild parties, doing things on a whim and spending money without much thought. Whilst Cameron's life is more structured, the intensity of his work lends itself to quiet nights in, planning ahead socially and financially. Both are very dominant in their characters. All of this lends itself to conflict and tension. Add in the fact that Brandon can be away for long periods and it increased the intensity of this read.
The reality though is that the issues that these two guys face are the things that relationships face daily. This makes this so much more relatable and relevant. The high heat level and intensity of the characters made this an incredible read.

A great follow up story from Undercover Rock Star. I thoroughly enjoyed Brandon and Cameron's tug of war for dominance and posturing, and hooted for the love growing between them in spite of the differences between the two characters, one flamboyant and outgoing, the other reserved and set in his ways, the chemistry between the two set the pages of the book on fire.
But in the end they made it work, love proved stronger than the differences, and they worked on it, after all Love is Love. Three cheers to that.
My heart went out to Cameron and his struggle in accepting the free for all sex and life style surrounding the rock stars, very aptly described, and the long separations between tours. The doubts and the fears of letting go is tough to handle.
I really enjoyed reading Jenna Galicki and loved her style of writing. It's easy and free flowing.
I was disappointed when the book ended. I want to read more about these two beautiful handsome hulks, marriage, children, extended family, the success of their restaurant, a follow up with Bulletproof book # 3 please.

Another great read by Jenna Galicki. 'Branded' is book 2 in the Bulletproof Series, you need to read book 1 to follow the story. As with book 1 this was well written, the characters are adorable and the chemistry is HOT.
Cameron and Brandon are determine to make a go of their relationship. Brandon is the forever rockstar, sleeping till midday, partying and living life. Cameron is a homebody, he gets up early, eats well and isn't use to the party lifestyle. Added to the challenges of their developing relationship is that Cameron has starteda new 9-5 job and Brandon is going on the road touring with his band. Both have strong feeling for the other but can this be enough for their lives to work together? Cameron's ex starts showing up in LA further complicating the situation.

I enjoyed the first book in this series and I really enjoyed this one. I may be remembering it wrong but I thought Cameron was a bit on the shy side in book one, but it's been a lot of read books ago so maybe I've got it wrong because he is certainly not now, he's very assertive and dominant. This was a great story, a little angst, a lot of love, and heck of a lot of sex, sexy sex. The next couple in the series focus on the other members in the band, although I'd prefer to read more of Cam and Brandon I will probably read them, I like this authors style.

The struggle is real...
THIS STORY reaffirms that the lives of rockstars aren't always unicorns and rainbows. Especially if you are at the start of a new romance. Brandon and Cam met on vacation in the first book. This book tells the story of them meeting up again in large part because Cam moves to L.A. from New York. Their love for Cam's dog, Brandy, endears these men to me!
I did find there to be sex scenes that were overdone and would have preferred more story.

I loved this book. Watching two alpha men tying to figure out their relationship and where each stood in it was very entertaining. I loved both Cam and Brandon. They both are stubborn but they both are committed to this relationship. I can't wait to see what happens with the rest of the band

I really enjoyed this book. It was much longer and more in depth then the 1st book. I was happy to find out what happened after book 1 ended. This book was way better then the first and I really enjoyed that book also. I am looking forward to the next book.

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ღ Brand me with 4.5 bulletproof stars.
Never keep us apart...
They met in Rio, and reunited six months later in L.A. Neither thought they would see each other again after their one night stand, but Cam was determined to see if the feelings were still there. Life was different now that Brandon was not touring. He was happy now that he had Cameron at his side. How were two strong, dominant men ever going to navigate a relationship when one craved the limelight and the other loved anonymity?
"You branded my heart." --Cam
There was no denying the chemistry between these two guys. The dynamic was just electrifying. They heat up the pages and the sheets. However, nobody said it would be easy. Cam could not understand Brandon's need to be on 24/7. And, Brandon could not understand why his lover would not shed his suit and live a little. And through it all, they were getting used to each other's lifestyle and making decisions that could rip them apart.
Their love was bulletproof.
They say opposites attract, but Cam was unsure of where he stood. They two people were battling their different personalities and lifestyles. Brandon had some nasty habits that should have had Cam running for the hills. The life of a rock star was all about drug, sex and rock and roll and Brandon had no issues partaking. Cam's type A personality was choking the relationship. "You’re two alpha dogs always in the middle of a pissing contest," Brandon's band mate told him. Learning to compromise was the name of the game, inside and outside the bedroom, and trust had to be earned, especially with Cam's sleazy ex trying to worm his way in and Brandon living the rock star life.
Another enjoyable book by Jenna Galicki that had me riveted and wanting more. Even Brandy the dog stole my heart and the secondary characters were already forming their own stories in my brain. And I will say, I was left with my mouth wide open, jaws dropped at 90%. Buy the book and see what I mean. Be prepared for more from this author, as this story continues in 2017.

In Branded, we get a more in depth story of Cam and Brandon from the novella that we read about them meeting in Rio. They had one weekend and chemistry that was never felt before in prior relationships, but reality gave them only that one weekend. Cam was a businessman and Brandon was a huge musician who was constantly on tour, with Bulletproof. They each went their separate ways, but still mourned the loss of what could have been between them.
Cam you alpha business man could not be more different from Brandon with his tattoos, long hair and loud music, but what you did to show Brandon you missed him and could step away from being the dominant one so many times in this book just showed how true your feeling were for him. Brandon was no different though, they were night and day to the angel and the devil, but they each worked the opposites of them to make their relationship work. It was funny how they both did the same thing and never realized how much they really were alike until pointed out to them.
You see how they were once stuck in a pattern and once that shell was broken they opened up so much possibilities for each other and the band. The key to being branded with your soul mate is to find a complete opposite cause those opposites attract and complete each other.
Lets just say if you thought the sex was HAWT in the novella, think again cause it was HAWT HAWT HAWT in this book. OH my, I may have wanted to jump in the pool like Brandy and the band a few times. haha. If Bulletproof was a real band, I would totally see them and this isn't my type of music per say. I can only handle so much. Inquiring minds do want to know who this band would portray though. Can't wait to read more on Bulletproof!!!
Cam you alpha business man could not be more different from Brandon with his tattoos, long hair and loud music, but what you did to show Brandon you missed him and could step away from being the dominant one so many times in this book just showed how true your feeling were for him.

*** Copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie in exchange for a fair and honest review. ***
Branded is book 2 in the Bulletproof series, it needs to be read in order as it's the continuation of Cameron and Brandon's story and it starts directly after book 1 ends.
While Cameron and Brandon grow to be more in love with each passing day, real life has a way of interfering with it, not to mention there are outside sources that might present an obstacle into their blooming relationship. Do they have what it takes to make it work?
Cameron and Brandon couldn't be more different if they tried. Cameron is quiet and anal-retentive, loving structure and order in his life. Brandon is a larger than life rock star that loves people and fans and music, quiet is not exactly in his makeup. What I liked about them is that while they fight a lot to see who should get the upper hand, since they are both very alpha and like to dominate the other, they are willing to compromise and make the changes needed to work it all out. That's not to say there aren't a lot of things standing in their way, because there sure are, but they don't fight just to fight, they communicate (after a while, at least). The chemistry between them is explosive, and the sex scenes were pretty hot, too!
I loved seeing all the nuances involved in being a rock star, even the less than savory parts. Jenna Galicki has a fabulous way to just transport you to a concert or backstage or an afterparty and make it seem as if you're practically there with the band.
All in all, this was a great sequel to The Undercover Rock Star! Fast-paced and engaging, you definitely won't be bored with these guys and their adventures!
Rating: 4 Stars!!!

The short story was such a good tease that I was afraid the follow-up story would be a letdown. It was not. In fact, it was a compelling story that kept me reading. Galicki gave readers Brandon and Cam, two men who communicated! They talked about important things and about their feelings.
"Don't you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you." There was no hesitation on Brandon's part. The words flew from his mouth of their own accord, echoing the sentiment in his heart. He put his hand on the back of Cam's neck and placed a reassuring kiss on his mouth. "I'm not going to pretend that I like the idea that this guy showed up and that you had a drink with him. Because I don't. Not at all. But I didn't mean to imply that I don't trust you." But Brandon would never trust that 3x-boyfri3nd. Not for one fucking minute.
Yes, hot sex came first and it was scorching hot. I liked that while Brandon was a world famous rock star, Cam was independent. Cam was a professional accountant and held an important position in a large financial company. Not rich like Brandon but definitely "comfortable plus". Two very alpha males who loved to compete. I loved them. I loved the Bulletproof performance scenes. I thank the author for the music list.
"It made no difference that he didn't sport the long hair and tattoos like everyone around him. Music didn't discriminate. All a person needed to do was feel the beat, set inhibitions free and let the music take over your soul.
I hope to read stories of the other band members and Felix.

Branded by Jenna Galicki
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
AHHH Cam and Brandon. Their novella made the pages of my book melt with their chemistry and story book romance. I was so excited to get a full story for the 2 guys!! I mean more MM yumminess please!!
So this book is all about the guys trying to make it work one “real life” settles in. When they met it was vacation and fun but now its responsibilities, insecurities and job stress. The guys are amazing and I loved them a little bit more in my heart. I mean how do you not fall in love with them right??
Brandon the rocker and Cam the accountant have issues trying to work through how to keep this love alive and viable with everything else that keeps coming up. There was a bit where I felt the book angst drug a smidge with them trying to figure out how to make it work between the two of them but it didn’t distract from the story at all.
But if you are a fan of the novella or Jenna’s other series, then you will be happy to one click this hot rocker romance story!!
