Gentry Boys #2
Risque
Truly…
Ma vie n’a pas été sans histoires, et j’aurais dû tirer leçon de certaines choses. Je suis une fille de 21 ans fatiguée qui a connu son lot de peines d’amour. Mais surtout, je sais combien prendre le risque de donner son coeur peut causer des ravages. Alors, qu’est-ce qui m’a pris de coucher avec un type au tempérament sombre qui peut à peine tenir une conversation?
Ce n’était censé être qu’une aventure d’un soir…
Une nuit de faiblesse, de passion, de chaque pulsion que j’avais essayé de contenir… Et
pourtant, je suis incapable de cesser d’en redemander.
Creed…
Chez les Gentry, la violence avait toujours fait partie de nos vies, mais cette fois-ci, j’allais
en payer le prix. C’était la croix que je devais porter. Impossible de reculer! Il n’y avait de la
place que pour moi, mes frères et notre détermination de survivre. Il n’y avait toujours eu que cela. Je n’avais jamais eu de raison d’avoir davantage que des aventures érotiques avec des filles aussi belles fussent-elles. Je n’aurais pas dû rester avec elle plus que quelques heures. Je n’aurais même jamais dû envisager de la revoir. Cela pourrait nous démolir tous les deux. Tant pis… Elle est tout ce que je veux.

I’m not feeling inspired but I promised myself I would review every book I read in 2021, (Note to self: don’t be an idiot next new year’s eve setting ridiculous goals), so I will say a few things.
🕴🏻The girl on the cover’s breasts are too small for this story.
🕴🏻In my humble opinion, Creed should have been the last brother’s story, because he’s the darkest, but he’s a cute bunny as well.
🕴🏻 I love him. I love Tallulah and her sweet accent too.
🕴🏻This one’s just to fill this review a bit more.
🕴🏻I still like this series a lot. Don’t be fooled by my shitty review.
❤️ Sweet love for y’all ❤️

Yeah, 6 stars...easily.
Couldn't put it down.
Can't get enough.
When can I get my hands on Book#3!!
Book #1 was Cord's story and I absolutely loved it! I review on goodreads but I'm normally too lazy to post my reviews anywhere else! But Cora Brent's first novel was so good I felt like shouting it from the roof tops! I mean, heck, it's hit all the best seller lists since then so you know I'm not alone in my opinion.
As for book #2, Creed's book, I adored Creed! Pretty amazing too! Must read! Now. Immediately! Read Book #1 though first!

Its been a while since i continue with miss Brent series of gentry boys. And i miss it. When i see the audiobook on my radar, i grab it. It is nice to listen to Creed story. His story is a bit darker and bit broody.
Just like the pervious book on this series, the plot is simple yet interesting. Interesting enough for me to keep on listening. The character development/ chemistry is not much. Just barely there to keep up with the story. I think miss Brent writes this book for dedication on hard life in Emblem.
I got a heart breaking picture how cruel and brutal a life can be in Emblem. Poverty, drugs, gang and dark life of those people who lives in poverty.
Overall i do enjoy the book very much.
4 stars

Risk was the second book in the Gentry Boys series by Cora Brent. The Gentry boys were triplets that were extremely close, had a terrible childhood and had each other’s backs at all times. Risk picked up where book one, Draw, left off and focused on Creed Gentry.
At times it was sad. Creed carried the weight of the world on his shoulders and I wasn’t sure if I could get through it with all the sadness as it rigged at my heart strings. But I loved his deep thoughtful nature. Risk was a journey into opening up to be loved and becoming the person he was meant to be.
Truly also had her share of childhood issues. She was strong and a perfect match for Creed. I enjoyed getting to know both of them as the story unraveled and the layers of each were disclosed.
In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed Risk. There was one main subplot (for Creed) that I wanted more of a conclusion - or maybe I should say a follow up - but I appreciated the unique twist that Brent created as a resolution. No spoilers so no elaboration, but it’s possible we may see more further in the series through Declan. We’ll have to wait and see.
Otherwise, I loved the story and I loved the closeness and bantering between the brothers. Their bond was evident in both books and I expect nothing less with Chase’s story as well in Game.

My 2nd Cora Brent book. Creed & Truly's story. More gritty, raw, & violent than book 1 (Draw). I liked both main characters. I am glad that the h, had a past, not just an "innocent" meeting up with man ho Creed (Too overdone when the h is so sweet & innocent & meets up with the more experienced H). The violence was near the last third of the book. The tension building up to BIG EVENT (not spoiling it for you!) was almost too much. Like a fear with no way out. The outcome was, IMO, almost anti-climatic. I was still relieved. 3rd person POV alternating Truly & Creed. I loved the way the brothers supported each other. I'm married to an identical twin- so I can imagine triplet brothers! The h & H from Draw (Saylor & Cord) are featured quite a bit in this book. The side story re Chase was very good.I liked Chase & he seems the most different of the 3 brothers. The brothers and Saylor live together so there's a lot of interaction that seems natural. This book has a couple of loose ends, which I'm sure will be included in the next book (Chase) Game
I'll be reading that one too!

Re read via audible
Prior review disappeared...
I liked this one better on re read.
Creed is the most tortured of the Gentry brothers. Has a tendency to drown his pain in alcohol. Tries not to fight because he feels he is too close to the edge and does not want to be like his abusive father.
He and Truly start as a ONS, but then there is another night and another. He is waiting for a dangerous underground fight which he wants no part of and may kill him so he holds back. But yet cannot.
Truly has a terrible history where she did some terrible things in her youth that led to her being pretty screwed up when it comes to men. So she holds back, yet cannot.
Overall, they are mostly sweet together and they end up helping each other heal.
Safety gang

RECENSIONE QUI: https://thereadingslove.blogspot.com/...
Oggi parliamo del secondo libro della serie incentrata sui fratelli Gentry, questi tre ragazzi che vengono da una realtà difficile, un'infanzia vissuta da reietti, fatta di odio a causa di un padre malvagio e violento ed una madre drogata totalmente assente. Per capire appieno l'evoluzione narrativa degli eventi vi consiglio di iniziare dal primo così da poter conoscere anche la storia di Cord e tutto quello che è successo fino ad arrivare ad oggi con la nuova storia incentrata su Creed, il fratello freddo e distaccato, ermetico e inavvicinabile. I fratelli Gentry non hanno avuto mai la vita facile, uniti e solidali sono riusciti ad uscire dall'inferno che è stata la loro infanzia e adolescenza. Uno per tutti, tutti per uno stanno costruendo il loro futuro. Cord ha trovato l'amore e grazie alla sua ragazza e a Creed ha chiuso con i combattimenti clandestini, ha un lavoro onesto come tatuatore e ha trovato la sua serenità. Il fratello minore Chase dopo aver rischiato la vita si sta riprendendo dall'aggressione, all'apparenza sempre allegro e scanzonato frequenta l'università e si gode le serate tra bevute e donne ma il trauma subito porta un problema serio che non può più non essere affrontato. Creed ha sempre protetto, o almeno ci ha provato, i suoi fratelli, schiacciato da un passato che non riesce a dimenticare, oppresso da un patto fatto per salvare la sua famiglia vive con una spada di Damocle sulla testa, sa che tra poco verranno a riscuotere il tributo e potrebbe essere la sua fine. Ho iniziato a parlarvi dei fratelli Gentry perché le loro personalità, il loro passato e le loro vite così fortemente legate sono il focus del romanzo, è la parte più completa e la più emozionante. Il punto di vista di Creed ci mostra cosa c'è oltre la sua freddezza: un cuore ferito che batte d'amore per i fratelli, un ragazzo sincero che con i suoi ricordi ci mostra una vita fatta di abusi e miseria, un uomo con un'anima d'artista ma schiacciato dalla realtà. Spaventato ma implacabile Creed ci racconta le sue paure e la sua determinazione, il suo amore per i fratelli, le sue debolezze in cui si rifugia per fuggire dalla realtà, fino a quando una notte di sesso con Truly non cambia qualcosa in lui. Truly è una ragazza che ha vissuto troppo, il suo passato è qualcosa che non riesce a lasciarsi alle spalle, la 'normalità’ non le è mai appartenuta. Truly sta pagando con la solitudine i suoi errori, fuggita dalla madre, abbandonate le sorelle; ha il terrore di diventare come sua madre, il senso di colpa la segue ogni momento. Non si concede nulla Truly fino a quando non incontra Creed e tutto cambia. La storia ha uno stile semplice e diretto, è molto rapida nell'evoluzione e si legge tutto d'un fiato. A volte nelle interazioni di coppia però l'ho trovata affrettata e di conseguenza poco coinvolgente e non so spiegarmi se è perché l'autrice ha dato tanto al protagonista maschile e la sua caratterizzazione, dedicando tutte le emozioni al suo background e all'unione con i suoi fratelli, ai problemi che i Gentry stanno affrontando o se semplicemente la storia tra i due è piatta perché poco emotiva, a tratti impersonale nel raccontarla e anche i momenti di sesso sono non descrittivi e superficiali. Nonostante ho avvertito uno sbilanciamento tra la storia d'amore e invece le vite separate dei protagonisti davvero complete e ben strutturate, è stata una lettura bella e coinvolgente, a tratti cruda e sofferta perché la resilienza dei fratelli Gentry...

Got to love the Gentry Boys. They are back and I was a bit apprehensive and thought hmm can Ms. Brent pick off with the second book where she finished with the last one and bloody hell did she deliver. 4.5 Creed loving stars.
Truly has had a tough life and has made a lot of mistakes but if I just want to be loved because your mother can't seem to and you are young you will believe what you are told. Truly named Tullah Rae Lee works with Saylor at Cluck This. Truly hasn't been living her life until Saylor persuades her to go out with her to The Hole.
Creed Gentry lives on Gentry Island with this brothers Cord, Chase and himself. Saylor is in the club now as she is with Cord. I love that we still get to see them and their lives that they are building together.
Creed made a deal for the names of the guys that beat Chase up. The deal with Gabe was that he then had to fight with a man of Gabe's choice. Creed likes the bottle a little too much but he has a lot of demons to deal with. He liks loose women and booze not a good combination.
That is until Truly walks in to The Hole and sparks fly. They might only be physical to begin with but even then they are both lying to one another and themselves. Feelings get involved and it is always messy but life isn't fun if there is no messy. Creed's fight is a toughg call and Truly manages to lay her demons to rest.
I really do not know where Ms. Brent gets the names for the characters but they are unique. These books aren't fluffy and it shows a different aspect on how people live. They aren't all rich, have great jobs and live the high life they are ordinary people with problems that can sometimes smother you.
Give me Chase and give me him now please. But what I really really want is a book with Declan Gentry.

4.5-5 Stars
"I'd seen enough of Creed Gentry to know he might be the worst thing I could do. Yet one lustful glance from him scrambled every piece of sanity I owned."
I love nothing more than a damaged hero that melts my heart who despite his brooding temper, deep down he's one heck of a man; a man that knows how to talk, touch and treat a woman. Such a man is Creed - he stole my heart in RISK. Sorry Cord, but you have to move over, he took your spot on my favorite man-candy bench ;)
Truly and Creed are two damaged souls that suffered through many tragedies in their young age. Truly is Say's co-worker and it was just a matter of time when she and Creed (Say's boyfriend, Cord, older brother) collide. Their encounter in the bar was epic and even I felt their sizzling chemistry.
"I was so wet I was afraid I might drown."
I loved their confrontations. Every word - even though he's all about less is more - was precise and made the other want to rip his/her clothes off. Both usually don't do relationships; they've trust issues and more skeletons in the closet then you'd think. Therefore, both were surprised when they came back for more despite Truly's angst to get hurt again.
"I just didn't have the space in my heart for it anymore; no room for one bad piece of business after another, all of them attached to men."
After their first time they craved for more... craved each other.
"This chick was't like my usual options. Yeah, she was gorgeous and hotter than pure hell but there was something else about her that made me think I was damn lucky she was letting me in."
I adored this book!! I adored the characters!! I adored Creed.... he's so far my favorite of the Gentry boys.
I've to mention that this book has a back-story which is linked to DRAW; therefore, I advise you to read it before.
I not only liked their slow-building love story but also the angst and doubts I could feel from the characters while reading. Creed, as well as his brothers, have had one hell of a childhood and his demons are brutal. To numb himself, getting rid of the voices and dreams, he drinks but when he meets Truly there's no need for it. All he seems to need is her, her touch, and her love.
Page by page I was falling more for Creed. At the beginning I thought 'Mmh, let's see how this brother turns out to be' and I've to admit he fully surprised me. In book one we barely get an idea of who he really is - he's like a closed book, talks little to nothing and keeps his distance from people. He's only close and open with his brothers. One could feel there's way more to Creed than meets the eye and I'm happy to confirm there's way way more!
He made me laugh, swoon and feel. It was such a great story and the build-up to a certain event made me very emotional - I was afraid for Creed and hoped to god he makes it out alive!
"I watched her face as I moved in and out of her body. I was trying to remember remember everything about the way she felt. I also wanted her to remember everything about me. For the first time in my life I wasn't just fucking a woman; I was loving her."
This is a contemporary romance filled with some angst, lots of steam, laughter and a good dose of awesomeness. I love this series and recommend it whenever I can. As said earlier, I advise to read DRAW first to know the back story why Creed 'volunteered', risking everything he just found.

After reading "Draw" I wanted Creed to have a great story and I expected so much more for him. Creed's history had the potential for greatness, filled wth past ghosts and demons but just when I thought it was really going to happen it fell short, SPLAT! right in a hot Tempe, Arizona desert parking lot. Yes, the anticipation of "the event" was OK, but IMO, lasted too long and again, just happened and it was over...wham bam and thank you ma'am. I will admit I skimmed (sorry Ms. Brent) during this portion and toward the end. I felt as if I was clicking upward on a roller coaster, anticipation building.....steep incline and anticipation building and then a small dip and a flat plain. IMHO, the storyline and the characters weren't developed to their full potential. The heroine was just a stereotype who happened to attract a former badboy/slut that changed just for her, hmm, I think this is the first time I've read this (giant eye roll). I give the author kudos for the story, but it needed to deliver and arrive at the fruition it deserved. Unfortunately it did not.

Again another 3.5, goddamn good reads I need half scores in the doors!! I might start a petition.. who’s with me??
This is Creed Gentry’s story. And what at a story it is! This one had my heart in my throat the majority of the time. There’s a few chapters near the end that had me ball up and cry. I wasn’t a huge fan of Truly. I felt for her but I would have liked to have seen more of her personality, she was a little too squishy nice for me. I wanted to see a bit of backbone, which is what all of these Gentry brothers need!!
Creed I liked, maybe more than Cord but I’m nit sure. Would have been good to see the hell he went through a bit more. But that glimpse we did see I understood why he is the way he is.
There’s an addict with these books, I have the next two, and as much as I am enjoying them I’m nit sure how I feel about Chase and he’s probably the one the thats going to make me fall hard! I’m not sure if I want to read about Deck though? I like his presence in these books but not so much I care about him enough to read his story. I guess we will see after the next one

I wasn’t a huge fan of Truly. I felt for her but I would have liked to have seen more of her personality, she was a little too squishy nice for me. I wanted to see a bit of backbone, which is what all of these Gentry brothers need!!
Creed I liked, maybe more than Cord but I’m nit sure. Would have been good to see the hell he went through a bit more. But that glimpse we did see I understood why he is the way he is.
There’s an addict with these books, I have the next two, and as much as I am enjoying them I’m nit sure how I feel about Chase and he’s probably the one the thats going to make me fall hard! I’m not sure if I want to read about Deck though? I like his presence in these books but not so much I care about him enough to read his story. I guess we will see after the next one

Wow, I know I wont be able to convey in words what this book did to me. I loved Draw and didn't think it was possible to top it but Risk was on a whole nother level.
I could not put this book down but I did read it very slowly because I didn't want it to end.
Creed was a man of few words but when he opened his mouth, whether it was to talk to Truly or sing, it meant something meaningful.
"One more thing. Tell her she was it for me. I should have told her myself"
He never hurt Truly and I loved that about him. There was no miscommunication between Creed and Truly....this was just a love story between two people who had more in common than they realized.
Both had a hard childhood that they overcame. Creed was everything that Truly stopped hoping for a long time ago. Neither were perfect but they were perfect and deserved each other.
This is such a great love story that will stay with you for days to come and I cant wait to read Chases story, not only because I love him but I'll get to see into the lives of the other brothers.
Well done Cora, well done. You are now one of my favorite authors!!

Oooh, co to była za genialna książka. Pochłonęłam ją w jeden dzień, tak bardzo nie mogłam doczekać się histori Micaha. Już w pierwszym tomie mnie zaintrygował i nie przeliczyłam się. Było napięcie, była akcja, było mnóstwo romansu.
Jednak to wszystko jest tak dobrze napisane, że tworzy spójną całość fabularną i nie można przejść obojętnie wobec tej książki. Mam ochotę ciągle o niej mówić, tak dobre wrażenie na mnie wywarła.
Zacznę od tego, że już na samym początku mamy genezę spięcia między głównymi bohaterami, widzimy od kiedy trwa ich wzajemna nienawiść, ale też mamy delikatny rzut na przeszłość Micaha, która nie była wcale łatwa. Już jako młody chłopiec doświadczył brutalnej straty i możemy zrozumieć dlaczego jest taki chłodny w obyciu, a jego charakter wcale nie należy do najłatwiejszych.
Muszę jeszcze wspomnieć o naszej Tessie Belli, która wychowana przez ojca, który oczekuje od niej coraz to więcej. To ona miała tę nieprzyjemność posiadać macochę, która okazała się wariatką i wcale nie wyolbrzymiam, a zrozumieją ci, którzy są po pierwszym tomie.
Tessie to dziewczyna, która dąży do wyznaczonych celów, ale w moim odczuciu jest trochę stłamszona przez ojca.
Pierwsze spotkanie głównych bohaterów jest gorące. Naprawdę gorące. Im dalej tym dostajemy coraz więcej emocji oraz interakcji Micaha i Tess.
Bardzo podobała mi się ta książka. Była wręcz uzależniająca i już od pierwszych rozdziałów podbiła moje serce. Znajduje się w niej bardzo dużo zwrotów akcji, które mnie osobiście bardzo zaskoczyły. W pewnym momencie miałam szeroko otwarte oczy i niedowierzałam. Generalnie jeśli przeczytaliście pierwszy tom, to drugi stanie się waszym ulubieńcem.
Zresztą uważam, że im bardziej zwariowany bohater, tym bardziej mi się podoba. Co może nie jest normalne, ale w świecie książek jak najbardziej.
Powieść jest +17 i jak najbardziej się z tym zgadzam, zważając na sceny zbliżeń oraz te drastyczne.
Uważam, że historia Tessy i Micaha bardzo spodoba się wszystkim, którzy lubią trochę zawirowania i nieoczywistych schematów.

Silver - per RFS

Salve, Fenici!
La giovane Truly Lee fa la cameriera a Tempe Town” a Phoenix. È scappata via da un passato difficile e ha dovuto allontanarsi dalle sue tre sorelle. La sua amica Saylor McCann la convince ad uscire e finalmente decide, per una sera, di riprovare a lasciarsi andare dopo tanto tempo. Al locale le stanno aspettando il fidanzato della sua amica, Cord, e i suoi due gemelli omozigoti: Creed e Chase, ed è proprio in quel momento che per la prima volta scatta qualcosa tra Creed e Truly, proprio perché lei è disposta a rilassarsi e a vivere ciò che accadrà senza remore. Quella che all’inizio sembrerà solo passione si rivelerà ben altro, ma non sarà facile affrontare ciò che di brutto potrebbe accadere. E come sempre lascio a voi scoprire cosa succederà.
In questo secondo volume ho apprezzato molto di più la storia e anche lo stile di scrittura dell’autrice. Sempre scorrevole e leggero, ma stavolta meno diretto, e per la mia personale gioia non più ridondante nelle scene spinte, quindi un punto a favore in più rispetto al precedente. Ahimè però ho trovato qualche refuso qua e là, speriamo vengano in futuro sistemati.
Questa volta l’autrice è riuscita a provocare in me emozioni tali da farmi piangere.
Rispetto alla storia descritta nel precedente romanzo ho percepito in questa più autenticità e l’ho trovata più realistica, soprattutto il passato tormentato di entrambi mi ha commosso di più rispetto a quello di Cord e Saylor del primo volume.
Personaggi sempre belli come al solito ma stavolta le emozioni di Truly, descritte dall’autrice, l’hanno resa più reale e questo mi ha aiutata ad apprezzarla di più. Infine, anche il tormento dei due protagonisti ha reso tutto più doloroso e vero.
In questo volume della serie è più ciò che è positivo piuttosto a ciò che ho trovato di negativo. La tensione qui c’è e ti tiene sulle spine fino all’ultimo, al punto tale che ti sembra di essere lì con loro.
Dopo aver vissuto la storia tra Creed e Truly, andiamo incontro al terzo volume per scoprire la prossima relazione amorosa che nascerà. Vi consiglio di immergervi in questo libro, quindi buona lettura!

4.5 Risky Stars!
Review by Natasha Gentile
So I first head of Cora when she wrote Draw, and that is when my love affair for the Gentry boys started. Oh those Gentry boys. What is not to love about them, hot, smoking hot, triplets, I mean seriously, how is that even legal? Triplets brought up with a abusive father, the turn 18 and run as fast as the can away from the hellhole they called their childhood.
This book is about Creed Gentry, oh Creed. One look, that is all it took for her to be hooked, and if I’m honest, it would take me one look as well.
I’d seen enough of Creed Gentry to know he might be the worst thing I could do. Yet one lustful glance from him scrambled every piece of sanity I owned.
Truly, she is a twenty one year old with a huge lists of mistakes hanging on her head. She just wants to do the right thing. She doesn’t have the time to do the run around with Creed, or is she?
Creed’s big hands massaged my waist and his lips brushed against mine just long enough for me to nearly beg for more. The chorus of “Between the Devil and Me” reached its crescendo but there was nothing else that mattered except the ache between my legs and Creed’s need to fill it.
Oh My heavens, Truly, you know you want it, just go get it, just do it, it’s ok. It’s only going to be one night. How hard can it be to have the best sex of your life and then send him on his way? Truly, he’s a Gentry, it’s the hardest thing that you will every do in your whole life.
Creed was silent.
I took a deep breath. “What am I risking, creed? With you?
“Nothing.”
My. Heart. Breaks. Creed breaks my heart, you see he’s the quiet brother. He stays behind, but he’s got your back 150%, every single time. The thing is, he just wants love, even though he doesn't know it. He wants that white picket fence, he wants the wife and the 2.5 kids, but can he do it?
A hideously sick feeling washed over me. It was heartbreaking loss, or rather the threat of it.
This is what happened when you risked holding someone in your arms all night long.
It’s what happened when you began to feel as if your day meant nothing unless the man who’d carved his name into your heart was with you.
Truly, she wants the same thing. She wants it all, she wants the mistakes of her past to be erased and she wants the love of a man to be by her side, making her complete.
One night of weakness, of passion, of every impulse I’d struggled to contain.
Yet I can’t stop myself from going back for more.
One night, that is all I wanted, that is all she wanted, that is all I told her it would be, but something about her keeps me coming back, something about her makes me want to risk it all. In the end how much of a risk is it for love?
The writing in the series is just getting better and better, and I’m so excited for the next Gentry’s book!!!

I love the Gentry boys. Their story is so uplifting. I wanted more Creedence. His story is great but I just wanted more. More of him as a person and more of what made him as he is. More about his musical talent would have been awesome. I also wanted more Tully and a slower pace to their relationship and the reveals. I'm not sure I'm happy with the twist for Chase. Did he really need that? No matter, I am still going on to book 3. I love these characters.
January 1, 2018
This was an alright read. The story was good, but I thought that there could have been more added to it. Also, I thought the characters were okay. I did not like them as much as the previous characters in the first book. The ending was good. I will continue the series to see how the rest of the series turns out. Overall, an okay read.
December 26, 2014
Parts were really good and others were boring. I wanted more interactions between Creed and Truly in the first 25%.

Risk - Truly und Creed (Gentry Boys 2)
von Cora Brent
SIEBEN VERLAG
„Truly Lee ist noch jung, doch ihr Leben war bereits stürmisch und jetzt ist sie fern der Familie auf sich selbst gestellt. Sie versucht, ihre Vergangenheit hinter sich zu lassen und ab sofort alles anders zu machen. Doch ein einziger heißer Blick von dem wortkargen Creedence Gentry genügt, und ihr Verstand schaltet sich ab. Creed ist ihr Schwachpunkt und was eigentlich nur eine Nacht der Leidenschaft hätte sein sollen, stürzt sie beide in Gewissensbisse.
Creed Gentry lebt mit der Tatsache, dass die Gentry-Drillinge nur sich selbst in dieser Welt haben. Für ihn besteht kein Grund, mehr als eine wilde Nacht mit einer Frau zu verbringen, auch wenn sie ihm noch so sehr den Kopf verdreht. Doch die Sache zwischen ihm und Truly ist irgendwie anders und faszinierend, und er kann sie sich nicht mehr aus dem Kopf schlagen. Dabei ist der Zeitpunkt denkbar schlecht, denn ausgerechnet jetzt steht sein Leben auf dem Spiel.“
Ich bedanke mich beim SIEBEN Verlag für das kostenlose Rezensionsexemplar des Buches. Ich gebe hier meine unabhängige und unbezahlte Meinung zu dem Buch ab.
YES, es ist amtlich ich liebe die Gentry Boys. Schon vom ersten Buch in dieser Reihe war ich hin und weg und nun dieses. Ich mag ihre Art ihr Leben zu gestalten, ich mag die Liebe und den Zusammenhalt unter den Brüdern. Ich mag wie sie mit ihrer Vergangenheit umgehen und dennoch immer das Licht am Ende des Tunnels finden und genauso mag ich es wie sie zu den Frauen an ihrer Seite stehen.
Schwärme ich? Nein, nicht doch. Ach egal, laßt mich schwärmen. Ich habe dieses Buch schon vor Tagen zu Ende gelesen und bin immer noch schwer beeindruckt und beschäftige mich in Gedanken damit.
Wieder ging es um die Entwicklungen aus ersten Teil heraus, auch wenn man nicht zwingend den ersten Band gelesen haben muss, begreift man die Zusammenhänge besser, wenn man ihn kennt. Aber nicht nur das, es würde einem was entgehen, wenn man nicht auch die Geschichte des ersten Bruders kennt. Zwar gibt es immer wieder Hinweise und Verweise auf Geschehnisse, aber dennoch ich empfehle die Reihe komplett zu lesen.
Creed ist einer der Drillinge und das musikalische Talent in der Familie auch wenn er sich bisher geweigert hat öffentlich zu spielen. Doch er ist auch derjenige der eine Schuld zu zahlen hat und die Gentry Boys halten zusammen und stehen alles durch auch wenn es bis zum bitteren Ende sein sollte. An ihrer Seite finden wir starke junge Frauen, die die Jungs lieben und mit ihnen durchs Feuer gehen würden.
So auch Truly, die ihre eigenen Dämonen mit sich trägt. Eine Schuld, die ihr schwer auf Herz und Seele lastet und die den Kontakt zu ihren Schwestern fast verloren glaubt.
Sie ist perfekte Gegenstück zu Creed und schafft es durch ihre zauberhafte Art diesen Mann zu verzaubern, ihn unmerklich zu umgarnen und ihn für sich einzunehmen.
Natürlich sind auch Saylor und Declan wieder mit von der Partie und ich muss ganz ehrlich gestehen, Declan fasziniert mich mit jedem Buch mehr und da ihn die anderen auch als ihren Bruder bezeichnen, hoffe ich still und heimlich, dass die Reihe nicht mit den Brüdern endet sondern vielleicht auch noch Declan genug Zeit gewidmet wird.
Besonders intensiv empfand ich nicht nur die Kampfszenen, sondern auch wie die Brüder und die Mädchen damit zu kämpfen hatten diesem Tag entgegen zu gehen und wie sie mit der Bedrohung umgingen. Es ging mir unheimlich zu Herzen, denn es war nicht nur intensiv dies zu lesen, nein es was intenz. Es ging tiefer und ich muss ehrlich sagen, ich spürte selbst beim Lesen diese tiefe Furcht vor diesem Tag, vor dem Ergebnis und dem möglichen Ende. Dem Wissen alles verlieren zu können was man liebt, endgültig und für immer.
Ja, ich muss wirklich sagen, diese Reihe passt wieder einmal haargenau zu diesem Verlag, der mich bisher noch nie bei der Auswahl der Autoren oder der Bücher enttäuscht hat. Im Gegenteil, denn bisher war jedes Buch, welches ich lesen durfte wirklich ein absolutes Lesehighlight für mich und eine absolute Leseempfehlung wert. So auch dieses.
Liebt er Männer, die sich nicht unterkriegen lassen und zusammen durch dick und dünn gehen? Hier bekommt ihr sie.
Liebt ihr Frauen, die ihre Männer jederzeit unterstützen ohne sie einzuengen? Hier sind sie.
Liebt ihr Geschichten in denen man sich verlieren kann und die eigentlichen Bad Boys in Wirklichkeit Good Gys sind? Bitte schön, bedient Euch.

Beh che dire? Rispetto al primo volume l'autrice è migliorata moltissimo.
Il background storico è sempre molto bello, intenso, struggente ed emozionante. La scrittura rimane sempre scorrevole e meno diretto. Le scene sono meno esplicite e meno ridondanti. Insomma è migliorata e ho apprezzato la storia di Creed e Truly veramente tanto, al tal punto che mi sono ritrovata con gli occhi lucidi più volte.
Per carità, ci sono cose che non mi sono piaciute e molte altre dove non so cosa pensare (ad esempio il fatto che Creed sconfigga I suoi demoni utilizzando il corpo di Truly e a lei sta bene, l'importante è fare del sano sesso e grazie al sesso si avvicinano a tal punto da innamorarsi). Insomma un libro che mi ha lasciato spiazzata. Vorrei vedere se l'autrice migliora ulteriormente col prossimo libro.

Eccoci con un altro libro di Cora Brent tra le mani e con un altro gemello Gentry da conoscere meglio. Gia in occasione dell'uscita del primo romanzo della serie vi avevo detto quando avessi apprezzato l'ambientazione così diversa da quelle che siamo abituate a leggere nei romance di stampo classico, e la sensazione si è confermata anche dopo la lettura di questo bel libro che, devo dire, ho apprezzato anche di più del primo. C'è sempre l'America sporca dei reietti sullo sfondo, la povertà materiale e spirituale, la malavita, le infanzie violate, ci sono bambine costrette a diventare donne troppo presto, e ragazzi cresciuti a pane e violenza gratuita che non conoscono il significato della parola amore ma sono capaci di riconoscerlo quando lo vedono o quando finalmente riescono a provarlo. Quella raccontata da Cora Brent è un America più reale di quanto si possa credere, è quella dei giovani che fanno fatica a sognare un futuro migliore, che si mantengono facendo i camerieri, che sognano per i loro figli qualcosa di meglio di quello che hanno avuto loro, è l'America del sogno spezzato, dell'alcool e delle droghe, dei combattimenti clandestini, della paura di non vedere l'alba il giorno dopo, dell'angoscia per le persone care.
Con il consueto linguaggio crudo e senza filtri l'autrice continua a raccontarci la storia dei gemelli Gentry ripartendo dal punto in cui si era interrotta alla fine del primo romanzo e, sistemato Cord, ora ci fa sapere cosa succederà a Creed, che si è offerto al suo posto per combattere all'ultimo sangue in un incontro di lotta clandestino e che sta aspettando che il losco individuo con il quale ha stretto il patto lo chiami. Creed è sempre stato il più chiuso e musone tra i tre, riflessivo e taciturno, sfoga il suo talento attraverso il canto e la musica, ma esattamente come i suoi fratelli, si esprime meglio quando può liberare l'animale sensuale e selvaggio in cui si trasforma quando è con una donna che gli piace, e Truly gli piace davvero moltissimo, al punto da volersi impegnare, cosa che non gli era mai successa prima, deve solo trovare il modo di farle capire che di lui si può fidare, che non le farà del male. Truly è un personaggio molto bello, una ragazza giovanissima eppure così temprata dalla vita che ha la saggezza e la prudenza di una trentenne, Creed le ha risvegliato qualcosa dentro, una speranza, la possibilità che finalmente qualcuno possa davvero amarla.

Gia in occasione dell'uscita del primo romanzo della serie vi avevo detto quando avessi apprezzato l'ambientazione così diversa da quelle che siamo abituate a leggere nei romance di stampo classico, e la sensazione si è confermata anche dopo la lettura di questo bel libro che, devo dire, ho apprezzato anche di più del primo. C'è sempre l'America sporca dei reietti sullo sfondo, la povertà materiale e spirituale, la malavita, le infanzie violate, ci sono bambine costrette a diventare donne troppo presto, e ragazzi cresciuti a pane e violenza gratuita che non conoscono il significato della parola amore ma sono capaci di riconoscerlo quando lo vedono o quando finalmente riescono a provarlo. Quella raccontata da Cora Brent è un America più reale di quanto si possa credere, è quella dei giovani che fanno fatica a sognare un futuro migliore, che si mantengono facendo i camerieri, che sognano per i loro figli qualcosa di meglio di quello che hanno avuto loro, è l'America del sogno spezzato, dell'alcool e delle droghe, dei combattimenti clandestini, della paura di non vedere l'alba il giorno dopo, dell'angoscia per le persone care.
Con il consueto linguaggio crudo e senza filtri l'autrice continua a raccontarci la storia dei gemelli Gentry ripartendo dal punto in cui si era interrotta alla fine del primo romanzo e, sistemato Cord, ora ci fa sapere cosa succederà a Creed, che si è offerto al suo posto per combattere all'ultimo sangue in un incontro di lotta clandestino e che sta aspettando che il losco individuo con il quale ha stretto il patto lo chiami. Creed è sempre stato il più chiuso e musone tra i tre, riflessivo e taciturno, sfoga il suo talento attraverso il canto e la musica, ma esattamente come i suoi fratelli, si esprime meglio quando può liberare l'animale sensuale e selvaggio in cui si trasforma quando è con una donna che gli piace, e Truly gli piace davvero moltissimo, al punto da volersi impegnare, cosa che non gli era mai successa prima, deve solo trovare il modo di farle capire che di lui si può fidare, che non le farà del male. Truly è un personaggio molto bello, una ragazza giovanissima eppure così temprata dalla vita che ha la saggezza e la prudenza di una trentenne, Creed le ha risvegliato qualcosa dentro, una speranza, la possibilità che finalmente qualcuno possa davvero amarla.

"It's a Gentry world. The rest of us only live in it."
Isn't that the truth!. I must admit that from the very first Gentry Boys Book I read I was intrigued by Creed, his pain seemed to run deeper than his brothers and for that reason I was so excited to read Risk.
Everyone thinks they know what Creed Gentry and his brothers are like
"Fucking and fighting" he said with some bitterness "they say that's all we white trash Gentry men know how to do."
But, like his brothers there is so much more to Creed Gentry then he shows the world.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved learning about the many layers of Creed and that under that hard seemingly impenetrable facade there was a sweet, kind and loving man. He carried the demons and bore the scars of his horrific childhood with his hostile personality, easy women and lots of booze. He has never nor wanted to let anyone in except for his two brothers. His life and feelings are completely changed after he hooks up with Truly Lee, he only intended it to be for one night but for the first time ever he finds himself wanting to let someone in.
"the thought of seeing her again excited the shit out of me. I wanted to see her agin. All of her."
Truly, is a sweet girl who has spent the past 4 years trying to leave behind a past she is ashamed of and the memories of a not so great childhood. She has been used by men many times in the past and has tried to protect herself.
"I'd known the sort of wildness that drags down the soul as it wore the freshness off the skin. It had the power to leave nothing more than a collapsed shell behind.."
However, after being propositioned by the gorgeous Creed Gentry, Truly decides to succumb to what her body desperately wants for just one night. After a mind blowing night of passion Truly finds herself realising that just one night would never be enough.
One of the things I really enjoyed with this book is that there is no real class divide between these two. They are both from pretty harsh backgrounds and have struggled to find better lives and be better people. There is no judgment between the two and they are accepting of each other, the good and the bad. The make each other want to confront their pasts and become better people.
"I want to be the kind of man that deserves you."
I loved seeing the transformation in Creed as he begins opening up and allowing his happiness and love for Truly to come through.
"You've got this disgusting thing on your face that might have started out as a smile."
The rest of the gang were all present and we still got plenty of interaction with them, which was great and provided a good build up for Chase's story next.
My only complaint with the book and unfortunately it was the same qualm I had with the previous book, the story flew along and developed perfectly but once again the ending felt slightly rushed and a bit anticlimactic. After the build up to the "big part" of the story I was expecting a bit more of a "bang" when it was really only a "pop".
Apart from that one issue, I am a massive fan of these gorgeous Gentry Boys. I really enjoyed this book it had a good storyline with just the right amount of drama, angst, lust and love. Creed Gentry will have you swooning from beginning to end.
"You damn well better listen when I tell you this; I love you."
I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I thought this was a really good book. It was a lot better composed than the last one and just overall a lot smoother and complex.
This book was Creed's turn. When the last book left off, there was an ominous cloud hanging above the Gentry boys' heads as Creed had bargained and now holds a debt to be paid in a fighting ring - a fight that could cost him is life. As this book picks up, that black cloud has done anything but blown away. The anxious agony of waiting for the phone call that could seal Creed's fate, is taking a huge toll on him and his brothers. He spends his days working out, getting ready, and his nights drinking himself into oblivion and/or find a girl to use. While out at the bar one night, in walks Saylor and Cord with Saylor's friend/coworker, Truly. Creed knows immediately that she is who he wants to take home that night. They start a bit of an erratic hook-up relationship, all the while growing closer emotionally too. Creed finds solace and peace in Truly, and Truly just can't say no to Creed. There's a lot unsaid between them, though, since they both want each other at arm's length. However, they find that being that at peace and comfortable with one another tends to make your lips loose. Creed starts talking about his past more and Truly censors her past, but still lets some things drop. When Truly finds out about Creed pending doom, they start realizing what their worth to one another and the angst rises a lot. Creed has to decide what, in his life, is worth fighting for, and Truly has to decide if having Creed close is worth opening her heart to and exposing her secrets.
These two were quite an interesting pair. I've rarely read a book like this one, where the main couple were just about always on the same page at every step in the story. They started out not really thinking a relationship was in the cards for either of them, and them grew into mutual companionship (with a pinch of denial), and then finally they were both forced to almost freeze their emotions as the waited for Creed's fight. They were really an interesting pair to read about, and definitely a unique read for me.
The ending of this book felt a lot different than the last one since, this one had an almost uplifting air to it, instead of an impending threat situation. I'm really curious to find what will happen for Stephanie and Chase though .

*** I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of the book to review******
The Gentry triplets are back!! I loved these triplets in book 1 of these series but Creed captured my attention and keep it. Absolutely my favorite! In this book the gang is back and there's a few surprises along the way. I got to see the guys kind of grow up a little, they have more responsibility in a way. The banter, sarcasm it still there, plus the almost inappropriate things they say, love these guys. They are still trying to make it day by day, still being bad boys trying to be good and in my humble opinion Creed is the goodest bad boy of all. Raunchy in a great way... that sees what he wants and goes after it and this leads him to something he didn't know he wanted and probably never thought he would have. Now, Truly is tempted by Creed and falls hard without wanting too. This girl has had it rough also but has changed her ways. Truly has alot in common with the Gentry boys in a lot of ways.
I really enjoyed this book! In some parts I had to put it down and walk away because it had me in tears. It was an emotional journey, reading this book, I laughed, and I cried. But I cheered for Creed and Truly all the way. Tough decisions have to be made.... Creed had always made those tough decisions and he has carried the pain and guilt everyday.... everyday.
This book had one particular scene that was especially heartbreaking. ... Creed just broke me and as I write this review I am literally crying. It was to me EPIC!!! That scene, whether in a book or movie that has you smiling while crying and hugging yourself (my kindle). This book had THAT scene, I won't say more because I truly (

The boys are back.
The Gentry boys are back and this time it's Creedence in the main role. Creedence is struggling he has the weight of the deal he made with Gabe weighing heavily on him and it's affecting his whole life, he's drinking too much and can't see a way out and then across the room at The Hole he sees her and he knows, he knows she's different and he wants her, badly and Truly wants him as well, I mean seriously she's female and breathing of course she wants him.
As a Gentry Creedence has a reputation, his past is littered with dark memories and mistakes but that's where Truly is truly perfect for him because her past is no picnic either, she has her own share of dark memories and mistakes and not forgetting her and her sisters have the interesting names as well Tallulah, Meridian, Augusta and Carolina.
The backbone of this book like the previous one is the fantastic relationship between the brothers, in this we also see how Saylor fits in and her growing relationship with Creed and Chase, but this book belongs to Creed and Truly and they're perfect together I loved them both and I loved this book, I can't wait for the next one which of course will be the last brother Chase but I really hope that Cora extends this series past the brothers to Declan, I loved him in the last book and I love him even more in this one.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series and I have been anticipating this one for a while. Well, I finally got to read it and it was great! I loved that it was dual pov so we could see what was going on in Creed's head. Man, he is one hot sexy bad boy that really needed a hug! And I wanted to give it to him! Truly also needed a hug and I was really glad these two wound up together. Both had some pretty sad and awful upbringings and they fit perfect together.
With Creed's big fight, I was really happy that things didn't go the way they were looking like they would with the other fight he went to watch (so sad :( ) and I'm glad he put the hurt on that dude like he did. I wanted his blood! (grrrr) Now I really can't wait to read the next book and see what's in store for Chase and if he'll be able to overcome his issues....

One word.....Creed. Yes, Creed. He was my ultimate broken, hurting, brooding, quiet hulk of man. In other words, he was perfect! I never thought I would fall for him the way I did, but it happened!
Creed and Truly.....they said so little to each other, but words were not what they needed. They were attracted like magnets, and with their unspoken words, they said so much to each other.
With Truly's secrets and Creed's looming illegal fight, one in which he may not walk away, there was lots of anxiety and trepidation.
Loved the storyline and of course, the relationship between the Gentry triplets just gets me every time.
Off to start Game with Chase's story which I'm curious so see play out. And then Deck......hmmmm.....that hot bastard! What's his story???....can't wait to find out.

Com'era accaduto nel volume precedente, anche il secondo gemello Gentry ha saputo sorprendermi con il suo carattere e i suoi modi di rapportarsi che assolutamente non mi aspettavo dal più introverso dei tre.
«𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑎 𝑐𝑖 𝑠𝑖 𝑣𝑒𝑑𝑒, 𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑢𝑙𝑎ℎ».
«𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑒, 𝑚𝑎 𝑠𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑖 𝑐ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑖 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑜 𝑠𝑒 𝑚𝑖 𝑠𝑖 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑖̀».
«𝐿𝑜 𝑓𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑖, 𝑠𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑜̀ 𝑖𝑜 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖».
Creedence Gentry è il gemello che parla di meno, quello più chiuso e che sicuramente ha l'aspetto più minaccioso a causa dei suoi muscoli possenti. Creed emana forza bruta e dietro i suoi bellissimi e intensi occhi azzurri sono nascosti mille oscuri segreti.
Truly è la collega cameriera di Saylor, l'abbiamo incontrata già nel primo romanzo e, da allora, non ho fatto che chiedermi cosa spingesse questa ragazza a non volersi legare a nessuno. Motivo che scopriremo non tanto presto ma che spiegherà tanti atteggiamenti di Truly.
Cosa accadrà fra questi due ragazzi? Le confessioni taciute metteranno in pericolo il loro rapporto nato quasi per caso?
Qᴜᴀɴᴅᴏ ᴀᴍᴀʀᴇ sɪɢɴɪғɪᴄᴀ ᴀғғʀᴏɴᴛᴀʀᴇ ɪʟ ᴘɪᴜ̀ ɢʀᴀɴᴅᴇ ʀɪsᴄʜɪᴏ ᴍᴀɪ ᴄᴏʀsᴏ.
«𝑆𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑖», 𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑖. «𝐴 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑜 𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜».
«𝑀𝑖 𝑠𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜?»
«𝑁𝑜, 𝑚𝑎 𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑎 𝑚𝑖𝑎 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑧𝑖𝑎 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑛𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑛𝑜 𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑒». [...]
«𝑇𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑜 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜 𝑐ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖 𝑚𝑖 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎, 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑦. 𝐸𝑐𝑐𝑜 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑒́ 𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑜 𝑞𝑢𝑖».
Cosa mi ha lasciato questo romanzo? È il quesito che continuo a pormi da quando ho girato l'ultima pagina ma non riesco a trovare un termine che racchiuda come mi sento.
I gemelli Gentry hanno un talento: ogni fratello ha il potere di scuotermi. Con Cord mi sono sentita vuota perché la sua storia con Saylor ha rievocato ricordi dolorosi; mentre con Creed sono ritornata a essere una bimba che aveva bisogno di quella protezione che solo una persona impenetrabile come lui potesse darmi. Ho amato il suo personaggio, tantissimo, perché la Brent ha saputo donare un'anima diversa ma ben precisa a ogni fratello.
Il discorso è un po' diverso invece per Truly, con cui ho trovato un po' di affinità solo verso la fine del romanzo. Feeling che con Saylor e Stephanie - che sarà la prossima protagonista insieme a Chase - è scattato immediatamente. Però, devo spezzare una lancia a favore di Truly: ho apprezzato molto il suo coraggio di mettersi di nuovo in gioco, non arrendendosi e non permettendo alle brutte esperienze passate di condizionare il suo presente.
«𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑧𝑖 𝑎 𝑝𝑖𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖 𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜».
«𝐸𝑑 𝑒̀ 𝑢𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑒?». 𝐿𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑖 𝑢𝑛𝑎 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑜 𝑠𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑒 𝑚𝑖 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑖 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑎 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒. «𝐸ℎ?».
Un romanzo che in alcune scene mi ha commossa. Il legame che hanno questi tre ragazzi è spettacolare ed essendo io una sentimentale cronica, mi è arrivato fino al cuore emozionandomi parecchio.
La storia di Creed e Truly parla di nuove opportunità, nuove rinascite e conti chiusi col passato. Darete la possibilità a questa coppia di conquistarvi?

4 stars for Creed and Truly's book! I really enjoy this author's writing... it's emotional, sexy and mostly about real life. I've enjoyed the Gentry Boys series so far and look forward to reading Chase's book. I know if I want a solid story about realistic characters and seriously sexy/alpha brothers I can depend on this author for just that!!
