The Reed Brothers #10
I'm In It
What do you get when you put together one matchmaking doorman, some Reed brothers with good intentions, and five sisters, one of whom is a little lost? Get get Tammy Falkner's newest book, I'M IN IT.
Mick fell in love with Wren at the worst possible time. She was in the midst of something wonderful, and then she wasn’t. Her life changed in the blink of an eye. And in this situation, it wasn’t a change for the better. He can still remember when she felt the first cramp. When she pressed her knees together tightly in the front seat of his car as though she could hold that life inside herself by sheer will alone. And if will were all it took, she’d have succeeded.
But she didn’t succeed, and they were over before they began. She was too hurt. She was too raw. She was wishing for what could have been, while he was wishing for what was. And what was… well, it was nothing. At least not to her.

About the author
Tammy Falkner
64 books3,187 followersTammy Falkner lives on a farm in a lovely, sprawling little town in rural NC with her beekeeper husband and a house full of boys, a few dogs, and a cat or two (or five – who has time to count?). As half of the Lydia Dare team, she has co-written ten books, including the Westfield Wolves series and the Gentlemen Vampyre series. A huge fan of Regency England, she often wonders what other kinds of magical, mythical and strange creatures might live and interact within the ton. Exploring the theory that the fae can walk between Regency England and their own land, Tammy spends as much time as possible with the lords and ladies of society, horse-drawn carriages, and elegant balls. Now add to that some faeries, a little murder, a bit of mayhem, and a troublesome garden gnome, and you have her exciting new series. She hopes you enjoys her world as much as she does.

I usually want the kind of story that satisfies me with smiles and feel good emotions. In this case, I NEEDED it. I had missed the Reed Brothers series books so darn much! Tammy is great at balancing fun, sweet and sexy with all the feels and I’m In It delivered.
While the story focuses on Mick and Wren’s budding relationship, in being the last of the Fallen from Zero girls to find her true love, the novel allows us to take a small peek into everyone’s happy ever after.
I don’t think I could ever decide who’s my favorite couple, I loved them all because they each had a beautiful story and all felt very real. Tammy Falkner has created characters that are the embodiment of all good things that make me wish I could be their friend and be part of their tight knit, loving family and Mick and Wren are another wonderful addition to the series.
After suffering a terrible loss, Wren wasn’t ready to start a new relationship. She wasn’t even sure if she was over the previous one and was sort of considering flying solo for a while. Being part of a loving yet meddling family though, means that when they see potential in something or someone, they’re not afraid to meddle a little… or a lot.
Lucky for her, Mick was the kind of guy who not only understood her, he’s patient and kind and already halfway in love with her when they’re thrown together on a cross country trip… with four kids! Ok, enough teaser/spoilers! I’ll let you enjoy the rest of the story without any more plot info. It’s definitely more fun that way.
So on with the characters. I do have to mention that even though ALL of the heroes in the series are incredible book boyfriends including Mick of course, and that Emilio, the Fallen from Zero stepdad incredibly awesome, I think I fell in love with Henry, the doorman. His was a secondary love story that’s epically sweet and served to guide Wren and Mick through their relationship, and yes jerked out a tear or two or many out of me.
Mick was absolutely swoony. A fun, flirty sweetheart with a big heart. Just like Wren, he was a little lost but a lot determined. I couldn’t not fall for him. And Wren was perfect for him with a fun, caring nature which she proved other the course of the story.
Watching Mick and Wren get to know each other was really cute and charming. I highlighted so many of their conversations because they constantly made me smile and I love the interactions with the rest of the characters. Have I mentioned I’d missed them? I could keep on telling you about all the thing I loved about this book but I’ll wrap up.
If you loved the Reed Brothers series along with Tammy’s honest and fresh writing style which is all her own, you will enjoy every page of this incredibly fun, sweet, sexy and feel-good novel. If you're a Reed Brothers fan, GET IT! If you haven't read this series, what are you waiting for? Tall, Tatted and Tempting (book #1 in the series) is free! (http://amzn.to/2vo1pat)
I'm In It is book #10 in the Reed Brothers series by Tammy Falkner. It is a standalone, contemporary romance full of deliciously swoony, sexy, and touching and cute moments. Told from both points of view, with an insanely sweet happy ending.

Me: I kind of have the hots for this one chick…
GirlWhoBrokeMicksDick: What’s she like?
Me: She’s smart and funny and kind. Sexy as hell. And she’s been a little sad.
…
Me: I think she needs a friend, and I’m applying for the job.
**Note: The text is between Wren and Mick. Mick’s name for her was changed by Mick’s brother**

Hace mucho tiempo que lei los anteriores libro y los recuerdo con mucho cariño y como no tenía nada que leer me tope de nuevo con esta serie y recordé que no había leído los últimos libros.
Reconozco que no son los mejores libros del mundo que nomas son para pasar el rato y tener un momento agradable no tienen la mejor trama pero tienen ese toque de ternura y dulzura.
No son tan dramáticos, al contrario son ligeros y muy fácil de leer.
Aunque este libro en especial no creo que sea de los mejores, sentí que todo sucedió demasiado rápido.
Y sí me gustó reencontrarme con los hermanos Reed.

"I'm In It" is the story of Wren and Mick.
In another fabulous addition to this series, we have the last of the Zero girls finding her HEA. Our H falls in love with the h while she is going through a tragedy, and then has to suffer as she recovers and pushes him away from her. But he is absolutely smitten, and slowly worms his way back into her life- first as a friend, then as a partner, and soon as a lover. Their newfound comfort is tested when they spend a weekend babysitting a friend's four young kids. But as old secrets are revealed, wounds are healed and this deserving couple finds their HEA.
Another banger by TF, with absolutely lovable secondary as well as main characters. I laughed, cried and aww-ed my way through this amazing book, and this is the reason why this series is in my all time favorites. How amazing is it to see MCs behaving like adults and communicating things in a book, ironing out all their insecurities and problems while making sweet sexy love, and the H actively respecting the h's consent and choices?! FAB!
Also, love the illustrations. Marta and Emilio are parents everyone deserves.

Puedo ser lo suficiente objetiva como para reconocer que los libros de Tammy Falkner no son nada del otro mundo pero por alguna razon siempre termino devorandolos, son agiles, tiernos y sencillos.
En esta ocasion conocemos la historia de Wren y Mick, personajes secundarios en la novela anterior y aunque la trama me parecio un poco simple, tengo que reconocer que se lee practicamente sola, cuando me quise dar cuenta ya iba por mas de la mitad.
Se que no a todo el mundo le gusta esta saga pero a mi me gusta bastante, no es la mas inolvidable o profunda pero es dulce y ligera, asi que si quieres leer algo ameno, es muy buena eleccion.
3 Estrellas!

una historia bonita, de darse uno mismo una segunda oportunidad luego de pasar por una dura experiencia, el personaje de Mick me encantó, un chico super dulce que desde el inicio quiso a Wren.
No sé si con este historia se cierra esta serie pero si es así me parece bien, creo que ya no queda ningún personaje colgando, o al menos eso creo yo.
Mi calificación 4 ESTRELLAS

So very good!
I was so upset at having to wait for this to finally come out, but it was so very worth the wait! Thank you Tammy For not cookie cutter stamping this out. It really did melt my heart like all your other books!

I have been so excited for this book to come out. The Reed Brother series is one of my all-time favourites and I have been wanting to read Wren and Mick’s story since getting a sneak peak in Yes You.
Wren and Mick were starting to get close, but then Wren had a miscarriage. While dealing with the hurt she started to ignore Mick. A few months later the whole gang go out to karaoke and Lark and Ryan invite Mick.
The two decide that they want to be BFFs even though they’re already a bit in love with each other. Their feelings for each other only grow stronger as they get to know each other better. They build trust and are there to support each other.
Some of my favourite moments included Henry who has been a favourite of mine since the start of the series. I loved finding more about his relationship with his Nan and his meddling was awesome.
Getting to see the Reed brothers again is always great but I thought they could have appeared more. From what I have read from Tammy, this is the last of the series although I have heard of a spin-off series that will feature Seth.
I definitely want to read this series again now that it is complete. When I first started reading the series, I was completely enthralled. I can’t wait to see what Tammy writes next (especially of it has anything to do with the Reeds and Co).

Loved the MCs.
Writing style was okay. Guess a lot was predictable but what I love about Falkner is that her characters are so life-like and soo unique and individual. All of the sisters and brothers are so alike and yet so different. They can all be super stubborn but also extremely loving and giving.
The plot was... good. I am just not sure what the kids are doing in this story. They don't really play any kind of role except for keeping the MCs from having sex, as I see it. We don't really get to know them; there isn't a lot of real interaction between the kids and the MCs so whyyyy? Guess they are there to show us how great the hero is, how caring etc. Alright then...
There was just one Side character who played a bit of a role in the book and who I disliked:
Wasn't fond of Henry who meddled a bit so that they would end up together, not because of him meddling but because of the way he pursued his wife. Like a freaking stalker. So creepy ... And our hero thought it was romantic that Henry would follow her every step.
Anyways, he's just a minor character so ... Not really important. But then I guess it is?
All in all, good book. Big fan of the entire series.

I feel like the last books were more about getting pregnant the moment you’re in a relationship that the relationship… was that just me?
Don’t get me wrong this book was good but I was confused why can’t they just be in a relationship for a while?
The ending was sweet and I loved all the scenes with Henry.
I wish Edwards story was in audio already.

La historia de la perdida de Wren es el tema casi principal, es lo que define muchas cosas de durante el desarrolo de esta pareja. Eso si me interesa saber que sobre el trabajo de Mick porque andaba feliz por la vida y ni pendiente jajajajaja. Cabe destacar que si hay dosis de Reed Brothers y su prole, que madre mia parece Gremlins, que les arrojan agua y se multiplican, ellos solo piensan en parir O_O

Waiting for 19
If you read nothing else this year, THIS SERIES should make your list. I don't usually like series books. You have to continually read to find out what's going on. This series, each book can be read in their own. And every single book is a good read!

3.5 -Mmm... -estrellas
*SPOILER ALERT*
Mick se enamoró de Wren casi de inmediato, sin embargo, el tiempo no es el mejor. Ella está destrozada por una pérdida demasiado dolorosa y lo único que puede hacer es empujar a Mick fuera de su vida.
Wren siente cosas por Mick, pero el dolor es demasiado fresco. Además, esto le ha ayudado a recordar que las personas siempre la dejan, ya sea por una u otra razón. Así que tal vez sea mejor dejar que Mick se alaje, igual que todos.
El destino tiene otros planes, y después de que la prima de Mick no se encuentra en condiciones para cuidar de sus hijos pequeños, Wren y él se ofrecen a ayudarla.
Sin saber que en el proceso, sus corazones se econtrarán y quizás Wren se permita la misma estabilidad y amor que sus hermanas ya tienen.
Hace mucho que no leía algo de los hermanos Reed, y es que siendo una de mis series favoritas, siempre los tenía en la mente, sin embargo, el timing nunca parecía correcto, o no tenía humor para leer la antología Forget me not. Voy a ser muy sincera y decir que intenté leer el texto anteriormente mencionado sin mucho éxito, por lo que pensé que estaría bien si solo leía el relato de la ex de Matt y seguía con los últimos lbros que me quedan de la serie.
Desafortunadamente todo salió espantoso.
Para empezar no disfruté de la historia de April, aunque eso lo abordaré en su respectivo review. Mientras que cuando se trata de este libro, no lo disfruté del todo como me hubiese gustado. Esto porque aunque conozco a los personajes, como dije, ha pasado un tiempo y sobre estimé mi buena memoria.
La mitad del tiempo estaba tratando de recordar las historias de los demás personajes y la otra mitad intentaba extraer de mi mente la mucha o poca información que se me dio en libros pasado acerca de esta pareja y bueno como lo sabrá cualquier buen lector, cuando esto sucede, el ritmo se pirde.
Fue tanto así que en algún punto pensé en volver a leer toda la serie desde un inicio, pero estoy tan cerca de por fin terminarla, que no quise hacerlo.
El resultado es una linda narración pero no estuve muy metida en ello y no me gustó tanto como debería.
Sobre todo porque no terminaba de entender a los personajes. Y sí, ya ssé cómo suena eso, pero es la manera en la que me sentí. Creo que una gran parte de estas series es que, cuando se trata de los hermanos Reed y de todos a su alrededor, uno se nutre de las interacciones que suceden durante todos los libros. Se nos dan diferentes piezas, que al final encajan cuando lees acerca de cierta pareja en especial, pero incluso después, puedes ver fragmentos de su relación a lo largo de las sigientes historias y se siente tan correcto.
Y me parece que eso es lo que me faltó en esta ocasión. Esa conexión.
En si, me gustó lo que leí pero como digo, me faltaron piezas para sentirlo como algo completo y no sé si sea porque me salté los libros pasados o en verdad la pareja en turno no tuvo la misma química.
Y hablando del desarrollo, me hubiera encantado que los niños tuvieran más relación con Wren. Se siente como algo muy superficial, y me faltó esa profundidad que la autora puede imprimir en su trabajo.
En defnitiva necesito volver a leer I'm in it para establecer un buen veredicto, porque como está justo ahora, es que es una buena historia, pero nada comparado con otras cosas que he leído de Tammy. Así ya veremos.

Wren's life is pretty shitty right now. She just had a miscarriage and the father of the baby was actually with another woman. All of Wren's sisters are married, about to be married, have babies, or are pregnant. Which Wren LOVES but it's a bit hard to see everyone she loves so happy when she's still not over losing her baby.
And she is avoiding Mick. Mick was with her when she miscarried and they had just been on their 5th date. It seemed like things were going well, but now she is putting distance between them because she doesn't want to get hurt again.
So when they decide to become BFF's, Wren thinks she can do that. She needs a friend right now. However, Mick doesn't JUST want to be BFF's. Oh no, but Mick realizes that he doesn't know too much about Wren, so he's willing to do whatever it takes to get to know her and make her realize that they are meant to be with each other forever. He just needs to be patient.
When Mick's cousin is in trouble and needs to go to rehab, he decides he is going to take care of her 4 kids - ages 8 to baby. Wren steps in and says that they are going to stay at her place because she has 4 bedrooms, verses his 1 bedroom apartment. And then when Mick needs to take the kids to California - across the entire continent - by driving, Wren comes with too.
Mick is not sure if Wren will be okay with the kids after what she has been through, but he is willing to risk it to be with her more and to show her exactly what he is wanting between the two of them. Even if it means putting his heart on the line when Wren doesn't feel the same.
I love Tammy Falkner's Reed Brothers Series!!! Seriously!! I am so glad that Logan and Emily's story was free so so long ago and I took a chance on trying it to see if I would like it. Because 18 books later, I am still in love and I still want more, even though I have a high suspicion that this may be the last one? Unless she write a book about a family reunion or something haha.
Wren has been through something very traumatic, and I am glad that Mick was there to give her the space she needed, but also to push her when it came time to get past her grief. He is definitely the best match for her and she is the best match for him.
One of these days, I'm going to re-read these books and fly through all of them back to back to relive these lives, because they are amazing stories, amazing characters, and amazing things that all of them do.
If you have been living under a rock and haven't read these, I definitely recommend that you do right now! You won't be sorry :)
And she is avoiding Mick. Mick was with her when she miscarried and they had just been on their 5th date. It seemed like things were going well, but now she is putting distance between them because she doesn't want to get hurt again.
So when they decide to become BFF's, Wren thinks she can do that. She needs a friend right now. However, Mick doesn't JUST want to be BFF's. Oh no, but Mick realizes that he doesn't know too much about Wren, so he's willing to do whatever it takes to get to know her and make her realize that they are meant to be with each other forever. He just needs to be patient.
When Mick's cousin is in trouble and needs to go to rehab, he decides he is going to take care of her 4 kids - ages 8 to baby. Wren steps in and says that they are going to stay at her place because she has 4 bedrooms, verses his 1 bedroom apartment. And then when Mick needs to take the kids to California - across the entire continent - by driving, Wren comes with too.

I'm In It by Tammy Falkner is book 18, of her Reed Brother's Series. Though it is a complete stand alone, it is part of an incredible series I have read several times as I await for the next book to arrive. Tammy Falkner has a way of creating a world around the Reed Brothers that makes you never want to leave. She has a way of intricately weaving multiple story lines across the entire series, while giving each book it's own stand alone read. I'm In It, does not disappoint. It is filled with humor, love and combustible chemistry. I would highly recommend this entire series to everyone I meet.
I'm In It features Wren and Mick two characters who have been introduced in other books of this series, but their story has so much more than I could have ever expected. Wren had everything in life going for her, until one day she didn't. Dealing with a loss forced her to push those who cared about her away. Mick was one of those people. After all, he was there the tragic night it happened.
Mick lost the woman he was falling in love with before it even had a chance to begin. Knowing that she is the Sister of his brother's wife, he knows he will eventually have to see her again, when she's ready. For now, she has pushed him away, but that doesn't mean he is going to be gone forever.
I absolutely loved this book. I devoured it in nearly one sitting. Wren and Mick's trials and tribulations kept be burning through the pages to find out what would happen next. I truly hope there will be more of the Reed Brother's series, even though there are no more siblings to pair off. The world the talented Tammy Falkner has created is one I hope never ends. I would love to hear about Seth, Enzo and the others who have touched my heart as I read the other books in this series.

So I have been with Tammy since I fell in love with Tall, Tatted and Tempted published in 2013...It was free and still is free and the cover grabbed my attention..next thing I know here we are on book 18 of the series, she has grabbed us with each one.
She left us with the last book a while ago but when you are a fan, you are patient, you understand a book isnt written in a day and that the author needs to be in a good place to publish a work of art. So I waited. It was worth it.
We are brought back to Wren, who has just gone through a tradgey no woman wishes on another. She has to find herself again. She has to process what happened and put herself back to a good spot. It's hard, its a challenge and Wren basically ignores that she isnt in a good place until she almost loses someone special because of it.
Mick fell in love with Wren at first sight, he's grieved without her, and he has processed his own loss. He's decided he cant let her be alone any longer. Through meddling parents, best friends, and family they are placed in the middle of a cross country trip with 4 cousins. Mick just wants to take care of others. He wants good for all. He wants a woman that will love him back.
These two definitely have to work for a good relationship, they are confused and want whats right but just don't know how to get there. Mick wants Wren to come to him, Wren needs him to come to her, push her. They work well together when they aren't thinking about the coulda, woulda, shoulda stuff and are just together.
This was a great ending to a beautiful family. I am going to miss them. I re read them all the time, Pete's story being my favorite. Read, love, laugh!

So this story has a trigger warning of miscarriages. So if you do not like stories about that. Do not read this. Plus this is the last book written so far in this series. Start with the first book. All of these are so so good. So after the trigger warning here is my review.
All of these books and stories/novellas are amazing. I love this entire series. This is the final story. I am not sure if there will be more written or not. But I really hope so I do not want this to be it. Because these characters they grow on you. I love each one. This story follows Wren and Mick. They both come from different backgrounds but overall almost want the same thing. I love how these characters and this writer makes a strong connection with the reader. I love that feeling and the feelings you get from reading about The Reed Brothers and The Fallen From Zero girls. They each go on different adventures and they end up with almost the same end result and there are alot of suprises along the way. It really catches your heart strings and keeps you wanting more with every story and every word written.
Quotes:
“Sometimes people need someone else to walk into their bad place with them,”
‘suck it up, buttercup’ and get back on it.”
“Do you love me?” he asks. “Because I love the fuck out of you.”
“I’m in this. If you’re in this, and we want the same things, then no.”
“I sure am glad you wanted to be my BFF,”

A collector's must - have once you started to read about the wonderful Reed brothers and the sweet girls who constitute Fallen from Zero. This is Wren's story. And how Mick, brother to Ryan who is married to Wren's sister Lark, fell in love with Wren while she was still in an unhealthy liaison with a male band member of the Zeroes. He was there when Wren needed a friend, but she wasn't ready for his friendship lest of all his love. You see how complicated this relationship is? It is all about perseverance and loyalty. Interwoven are sidelines including Emilio and Marta and doorman Henry in his function as elderly cupid. It is sweet to see how the elder people surrounding our struggling couple all try to make them see the light. To be more precise, to make Wren see.
A sweet story, rather unexciting but it needed to be told for completion's sake.
The technical part like writing style and editing is solid, after reading books where the inner teacher in me seeks the red pencil to mark the typos, grammar errors etc it is so relaxing to lose yourself in a book that is just so well written and edited. Thanks to the author and her editing crew who have given their readers this microcosmos that is the Reeds and family.

Seems like FOREVER since I've made a visit to the Reed World! So, so very happy to be back!
Mick & Wren's story was cute, albeit a skosh predictable. Low-drama, a couple of steamy times, fun meddling moments courtesy of family... It all made for an easy weekend read.
Mick... Talk about the ultimate sweetheart. So romantic, caring, patient & considerate. I was ticked at him for maybe one hot second in this book (for inviting that girl to the club in the very beginning, although I kinda understand why) but other than that, he was simply one damn sexy gentleman.
Wren... Her hesitancy, while somewhat understandable, drove me up the wall at times. What she went through in the past was sad but I wish she would've had a little more faith in Mick & would've spoken up more about things to him throughout the story. But... LOVED her generosity, her thoughtfulness & I admired her strength. Her chasing after Mick couldn't come soon enough for me!
Not sure whose story is left to tell in this series but I'm always up for re-visiting old characters in novellas... :)
Side Note: Mick, what is up with your love of "the bush"? *snorts*

Mick & Wren are heartbreakingly beautiful, and their story makes me want to go back to the beginning, to Logan & Emily, and have a Reed marathon. I have a long weekend coming up at the end of the month - I think I might do that.
One of the things I adore most about this series - along with the humor, heart, and all-around good feelings I'm left w/ at the end of each book - is the realism. The struggles are REAL, but not over-done. Mick & Wren have to work for their relationship, they have to water it so it will grow. There are some missteps - but they don't feel daunting as a reader, they don't feel unnecessary or contrived. They feel like what needs to happen so all the pieces come together the way they should.
I'm sad to see the end of the series, but happy that the next series will have cameos & is still connected to my Reeds. : )

The last single Vasquez sister, Wren, has been having a hard time. Luckily for her, her sister’s brother-in-law, Mick, is there to help her through it. Problem is, Mick was already half in love with the idea of Wren, the pretense of having a BFF without benefits relationship is the trigger for the pair to admit falling in love with each other.
While the early books in the series really appealed to my taste, the later ones lacked the same type of magic and veered away from the Reeds. This outing is no exception with multiple scenes reminiscent of Maybe Matt's Miracle and other series entries left this the read with a been there, done that aftertaste.
Rating: 3.5stars
