The Adamos #8
Baring Brando
“You should always wear my clothes … when you wear anything at all, that is.”
Sasha
Brando Adamo is not my type. He’s too rough, too aggressive.
But when he touches me, nothing else matters.
I know I should keep things purely physical, but I fall for him anyway.
Just when I’m starting to think we have a chance, I learn the hard way that only fools fall in love.
Brando
I have no business wanting Sasha Delacroix. She’s too young, too innocent.
A guy like me can only hurt her. I should leave her alone and forget she exists.
There’s just one problem: she was born to be mine.
So when the demons from my past rear their ugly heads, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Even if it means she’ll never forgive me.
Baring Brando is the eighth book in the Adamo series. If you enjoy reading a series from the start, you’ll find that it enriches your experience of the Adamos; but each book is a complete story, with its own HEA and no cheating, so the books can be read in any order. If you enjoy sexy, protective alpha males, feisty heroines who are every bit their match, and plenty of heat, this series is for you.

The cover on this one is OK. Good composition. The title work is eye catching. Similar to the other books in this series. So good unity within the series.
I swear these books feel like they are getting shorter and shorter. I enjoyed this one well enough. It was insta on steroids. No OW/OM drama. Hot sex scenes. That said the whole plot needed much more fleshing out. The heroine took back the hero WAY too quickly and the hero needed to grovel his ass off. I will say I am intrigued by Mateo though. I hope his book is up next.

I enjoy hearing about the Adamo family. I liked Brando and Sasha. While Sasha was younger (19 to his 36), she didn't come across as immature. Brando was fighting some inner demons that cause him to push her away at one point but it didn't take up a huge part of the book.
-no cheating
-no ow/om drama whatsoever
-instalove
-some pushing away by hero
-steamy
-safe
-just ok epilogue with a set up for another story - which I will be interested to see what is up in that characters story as long as it is safe as well

I need an Adamo man! <3
Hot, steamy and sexy insta-love story from Mia Madison!
The Adamos are still one of my favourite series and this one did not disappoint! I got exactly what I expected and what I love! Older man/younger woman romance with the nosy Adamo clan popping up everywhere you turn around. The Adamo men are protective, possessive and oh-so swoon-worthy - they are quite the family!
Another great addition to this fun and sexy series!

This is the eighth book in the Adamo series by Mia Madison. The Adamo men are a family of strong, Alpha, fiercely loyal, protective men who when they find "the one" all other women cease to exist. Brando Adamo is 36 years old, retired from the military and now owns a fine dining restaurant. Unlike his cousins who live in town among everyone else he has a house outside of town and away from everything and everyone. Sasha is a 19 year old college student and daughter of a very wealthy importer/exporter. She's at a club with friends one night when she meets Brando and the chemistry is off the charts. He takes her back to his house and they have an awesome night together. Soon his past rears it's ugly head and Brando must protect Sasha even if it's from himself. This one was sweet and I gotta tell you my curiosity is now really peaked about Brando's twin brother, Matteo and I'd love his story.

What I love about this book is the duel points of view. I liked that most of this book was in the heroes point of view. I liked hearing Brando’s thoughts and fears.
I liked Sasha and Brando but there wasn’t enough of them. I didn’t feel much of a connection towards them. This book felt like it was finished in the blink of an eye. I wanted more scenes with Sasha and Brando together. Despite that, I liked Sasha and Brando as a couple. I liked the insta love between them and the passion. Although I understood Brando’s reasons, my heart hurt for Sasha when Brando kicked her out. I liked that Brando’s family members weren’t accepting his actions. They rounded themselves up and gave him a talking to. I really like this series and cannot wait for more. I love the Adamos family.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a nice read.

Absolutely Adore This Series
Love anything from Mia Madison but absolutely love the Adamo Men supremely.
Brando and Sasha come together instantly. It just happens. They quickly fall into a routine, work well together, family support, and falling in love. One unexpected and unexplained incident ends it all. Can they be repaired?
Insta love and lust and yes, HEA. However, Brando's brother has left me so needy!!!

More Adamo's please!
I love Mia Madison and the Adamo series! So glad she uses KU. I hav e read each one in the series and never get enough. Brando is out at a club when he is drawn to Sasha. They have that instant connection and fall for each other quickly. You need to read it to see how it goes but I loved it.

Another Adamo invasion.
I have loved this whole series. Brando and Sasha are so cute. He has some issues to deal with but with the he!p of a strong woman he is able to have the life he deserves. I laughed and cried reading this book. I'm intrigued to find out how Matteo's story ends. Great job by a great writer.

Veteran, Chef, and College Woman Spark
I just really enjoyed this entire novella. The Invasions are so sweet, whenever these Adamos descend; and they're getting creative! Brando and Sasha were a great addition to this family tradition.

VERY SHORT BUT GOOD
It was a short fast story but very intense and sweet at the same time and with the famous Adamos intervention!!! Hilarious. Mateo intrigued me, I hope we get a story of him!

Baring Brando
Overall nice read. Lust at first sight that what happened when Brando & Sasha eyes met across a dark dance fall. There story was not smooth sailing. Enjoy

I read a review by someone else that these books seem to be getting shorter and shorter, and I have to agree. I love that they are quick easy reads, but a bit more storyline and words are needed.
This fell flat, because you don't really get to know much about either of the mc's while they are together, or even apart. I know nothing of the female lead other than she goes to college? And Brando owns a restuarant, lives quietly and apparently must have served in the forces due to his PTSD. I notice that the next one is really short too, and if that keeps continuing, not sure if I will finish the series that I love.
