Will Ingram has nothing to his name but a shattered career, a few art supplies he can’t bring himself to sell, and a boarding pass for home. When a gorgeous woman propositions him in the airport, he thinks his luck might finally be on the upswing, but when she turns up again in his small town the only thing he isn’t questioning is the physical attraction sizzling between them. Is she the muse he thought he’d lost forever or just another woman with betrayal on her mind?
The sex was mind-blowing. Life-altering. But MacKenzie Carlysle won’t know the life-altering part until days later when the sexy stranger she seduced in the airport turns out to be W.H. Ingram, the famous artist, and the one man on the planet she should stay far away from.

Will: Ingram Brothers #1 is an engrossing book. Right from the first page, I got hooked. This isn't a cookie-cutter book. The story is original. Will, a super-talented artist has been hoodwinked by his closest associates. He's lost the motivation to go on, until he has a hot encounter with a beautiful, sexy stranger in an airport. Secrets, lies and plenty of steamy sex drive this book forward, keeping you on the edge of your seat until the finale. I loved the writing, too. Ms. Lee, one of my favorite authors, paints a complete scene with few words. The dialogue is true to life. Can't wait for the next in this series. Don't miss this one.

Will is the first book in a new series—The Ingram Brothers—by Roz Lee. It's a good beginning to a series about three brothers, known locally as "The Brothers Grim"—all moody and tragic characters in their own ways. The reader is immediately intrigued to learn why these young men are so hurt.
Because this is the first installment in the series there's a lot of background information given. It may seem like a little too much sometimes but hang in there. Since two prominent side characters, Hank and Melody, had their own story (Lost Melody) published way back in 2013, this background serves to fill in the gaps. Lost Melody is quite a complicated story and it doesn't hurt to read that first but it isn't necessary. The author also gives background on the three brothers and introduces a number of secondary characters that we will be seeing in future books.
Roz Lee's writing is very descriptive and well researched, and her dialogue is very natural. She has a talent for weaving unique imaginative stories and this one doesn't disappoint in that regard. It's an idea I haven't read before—an artist who loses his "will" to create. An enemies to lovers trope I suppose. I did miss Ms. Lee's trademark wit in this book however, but since this is a series that explores personal tragedies I guess whimsy wouldn't feel right in this case.
A quick overview of the premise (no spoilers):
The H (Will) a talented artist who made a name for himself in NYC is betrayed and left penniless by his agent/girlfriend. He's so crushed by these events that he loses the will to paint artistically. The h (Kenzie) is also betrayed by her boyfriend/boss and she loses everything. She and Will don't know each other, but their stories begin to dovetail. They have an anonymous encounter in the airport then go their separate ways—until they meet again in Willowbrook, Texas, the place they each have gone to start over. Will and Kenzie have a magnetic pull toward each other. They can't stay away from each other even though Will is the biggest a$$ on the planet toward Kenzie. At the same time that he finally starts to soften up toward her, that's when the dots become connected and the drama unfolds.
This is a nice story about a painter who loses, then rediscovers his inspiration to be authentic, both as an artist and a man. In the end this 'tragedy' becomes his greatest gift. I do recommend this book. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
The romance story between Will and McKenzie is completed in this book, but there is a story arc that continues in book 2.

The last person MacKenzie ever thought she would see in the small Texas town that she has moved to would be the one man she seduced in the airport. But when she sees Will again is it fate or treachery that has put them in the same place at the same time. Can the artist who has lost everything even think to start a relationship with Kenzie when the rest of his life is falling apart? With characters the reader instantly falls in love with and just the right balance of emotion and angst this was a great read. I cannot wait for the next brother in the series.

Good read but
Slow starter of a read and struggled with the storyline, however it picks up with some speed and pulls you in. Ending was a bit abrupt but then will and Kenzie get their act together.

This is the story of Will and MacKenzie. Art theft, betrayal and romance.
