Weddings
This was an interesting way to write a book. While it is one book, it is actually two separate stories, not an anthology or box set. Ms. Jackson has taken two of four characters and expanded their individual stories into this one tome. Cousins Kennedy and Victoria both deserved their stories, even though they are connected, and this book did that brilliantly. Great read!

What a wedding it was too!
Kennedy and Haddison and Victoria and Cortez's stories jump started the stories of the now four Bennett cousins who are the offspring of Michael and his deceased wife Lynda Bennett and Fayrene and Victor Bennett Jr. all grownup. Haddisson I remember from the time the Mob tried to take over Lee Madaris's hotel and tried to also kill his now wife Carly. Cortez is the younger cousin of the Masters men who married Alexia Bennett and Brandy Bennett. Both stories getting to the altar took my breath away especially Kennedy and Haddison's story. Victoria and Cortez's story did not have the drama of a hostage situation but there was romantic intrigue to get this couple to the point of going all in. Adults really must be careful how they live their lives in front of their children to spare the children from emotional scarring that is oftentimes hard to repair. Over all I loved the Bennetts's wedding and I am looking forward to all of the releases this year from Mrs. Jackson especially the Bennett's Christmas. As always Mrs Jackson this is another phenomenal novel about another beloved clan from your extensive repertoire of written offerings!! Thank you very much.

Bennett Ladies
Another great read by Mrs. Brenda Jackson. The stories of both cousins was worth reading again. To experience the love at first sight just from the look in your eyes is beyond romantic especially if the person suppose to be a criminal. That was crazy, it was worth reading until I finished. Ms Victoria Adele's story was just as good. We know the story of a one night stand and virgins and how most guys take that as a conquest, but he actually wanted the girl. Love this, looking for to the next book.

Kennedy couldn't stop thinking about one of the bank robbers who kidnapped her and she kissed while they were in a car crash that she was told killed him. Turns out that he was an undercover FBI agent. He retired after that case and ended up taking a job as head of security at the company she worked for. He remembered her and she thought she remembered him even though the only thing she recognized on him was his eyes. He had been captivated by her since the robbery. Now he was free to date her, even though he couldn't tell her how they really first met.
Victoria met one of the Master's triplets in Paris. She lied about who she was because she wanted a one night stand to lose her virginity. He had been hoping to spend the weekend with her but she disappeared the morning after. They bumped into each other a few years later at a family function. Their cousins were married. She pretended she didn't know him. He was still upset about how she left him. Then he became her company's attorney. Finally they talked and he got her to agree to giving him the two days she had promised years before in Paris. When they saw each other again after their second weekend together, they had fallen in love.
I really enjoyed both of these stories. Kennedy had been wary about love because her ex cheated on her. Victoria had been wary because her father and grandfather were both huge womanizers. I really liked watching the two of them find true love.

Dubto entre 1 o 2 estrelles. Suposo que em sap greu posar només 1 estrella, però el llibre no m'ha agradat pas gaire. Alguna part m'ha entretingut, però no tenen suficient pes. I ara explico per què la puntuació:
1. Hi ha instalove, però insta insta. Tipu petó a un desconegut així perquè sí. No s'agafa per enlloc
2. La història no segueix un fil, no hi ha trama
3. Hi ha canons de bellesa ultra tòpics (homes musculats, alts, veu greu, super guapos)
4. Es veu la virginitat com un problema que s'ha de solucionar. Literalment parlen de "treure's la càrrega de la virginitat de sobre".
5. Només es consideren parelles heteros
6. Hi ha escenes massa gràfiques pel meu gust. A més la narració no m'ha agradat gens (l'he escoltat en audiollibre).
Suposo que quan vaig agafar el llibre m'esperava una altra cosa i he quedat decebuda. Ara, si a algú li agrada llegir llibres eròtics que quasi només es centrin en les relacions sexuals, li pot agradar aquest llibre.

This audiobook actually contained two stories. The first was Haddison and Kennedy's story. I thought this one was better. It had a bit of romance, mystery, and intrigue, and managed to hold my interest.
Victoria and Cortez's story was next. There wasn't much to it. Victoria had some issues and I thought her behavior was somewhat immature. Cortez was determined to have her. I am not sure why he wanted her .
Both couples got their HEA. If the second story came close to the first, I could go with more than 4 stars. As it stands, I will give the audiobook 3.5 stars. The narration was not bad.

Two Romance Novels in One
Kudos to Mrs. Jackson on two awesome stories. I read them both in two days between watching basketball and cooking. I really loved Kennedy and Haddison’s story. The wedding scene was described beautifully. I can’t wait for the next book concerning the Masters and Bennett’s.
Kudos Mrs. Jackson on another awesome bestseller. You never disappoint. 🥰

Worth the wait
Kennedy and Haddison's story from beginning to end I enjoyed . The unusual way they met could not stop the love they found. Great story. So far away from home but not to far for Victoria and Cortez to
meet and find love. Another great story. Can't wait for Bree and Monica's stories.

Good romance book.
I enjoyed both Kennedy and Haddison and Victoria and Cortez
love story. Kennedy was feisty especially in the bank robbery scene. I am glad that Whitmore and his friend 's son got what they deserved. Cortez was a determined man and he went after what he wanted, Victoria. I enjoy Author Jackson's books.

I was introduced to Kennedy in A Family Reunion back when I was in middle school. When I realized this was connected to that series I went back and read it again to refresh myself. Glad to see the used to be rebel grow up and find love.
The same with Cortez. I met his cousin Quinn on A Family Reunion as well.

I really enjoyed Kennedy and Haddison's story. It had a nice turn of events and was truly entertaining. Victoria and Cortez's story was just ok for me. While I truly understand where Victoria was coming from, something just felt a bit off. Loved the double wedding at the end, it all worked out wonderfully.

I absolutely love this book. I loved that it was beyond down into two parts for the two different women. I always loved how Brenda plots and plans her scenes. I really am trying to figure out how she comes up with this stuff lol. Both ladies stories, I adored. Victoria and Kennedy both found love in some strange ways but I loved it. Great read... You won't be disappointed...

Love at first sight for both cousins. Kennedy met her future husband during a bank heist. They love story was very interesting. Victoria met her future husband while on a trip for business. In both stories they took awhile to finally tell each other their true feeling.

Bennett, Masters, and Wolf
Great characters and storylines. Two stories of great relationships. Look forward to the next saga of the Bennett cousins. Kennedy and Haddison made a great connection at a most unlikely situation. Victoria and Cortez were steamy from the start.

I throughly enjoyed reading Kennedy and Victoria's story. Each story will have you laughing and having a feel good moment. It was good connecting with the original Bennett ladies. I can't wait for Sebrina and Monica's story

Cousins are the next best things to sisters. Victoria, Kennedy, Monica, and Sebrina are thicker than thieves. They learn through all the hurt, pain and disappointment it's never too late. Well written, page-turner. full of humor, friendship, and family.

Kennedy and Victoria and Monica and Bree have a beautiful family relationship. To see Victoria find true love was so touching. Kennedy had truly developed into an outstanding young lady and I'm glad that she found true love.
