Very Good!
When Fran witnesses the murder of the former FBI director she is interviewing, she must stick the with his ok’d colleague and his son to stay safe and bring the murder(s) to justice.
I liked about this. Both Luciano and Fran were great, I loved their banter. I also liked that Fran wasn’t a damsel in distress, she could hold her own. And Luciano, well he’s broody, mysterious, and all types of hot.
The action and plot was fast moving and kept me interested. Characters from other books in the series are prevalent. I haven’t read the other books in this series so I was a slight disadvantage, but not enough that it detracted from the story.
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star is the middle of the book. While is was into the plot and liked how the whole family interacted and worked together, I felt just a little too much time was spent on other characters instead of Fran and Luciano. I wanted more time to see their relationship progress and also see them being badasses together. I wanted more of Fran with her knives like in the beginning and to really see why everyone is scared of Mist.
That’s just my personal opinion, but overall I really liked it and will be reading more from this author.

The Best of Both Series
If you are not a Vivian Rose Lee fan than you are missing one of the very best story tellers ever. Her series are rich with intrigue, hot romance, complex characterization and linked story lines. The stories will make you addicted to reading. This book tied up so many loose ends from the other stories,I am panicked that it may be her last. But all of her books as a great to yourself. You will not regret it.

Excellent read
Excellent read, I loved the characters and storyline. This book was action packed and fast paced from the start. Luciano and Francesca attraction and romance was clearly meant to be. It was great catching up with Charles, Hawk, Julia, Uri, Qui and the rest of the family. The author tied up loose ends from previous books. I can’t wait for the next book.

The whole damn series
This whole damn series was on point. The characters, the story line of each book well written and thought out. From the beginning of book one to the end of book seven. And the brothers on th cover, all I can say is damn y'all found some fine ass mister got the bodies b for the covers. Job well done from beginning to end.

OMG!!! This is the best by far she brought back some old school characters
some loved and some not so much. I still think Becca is the best the world needs more of her forgiveness in it. Thank VRL

Family Ties
This has been one of the best in the series! The descriptions of Luc and Fran reminds me of Greek gods. It was nice to see the families appearances. They always keep you on your toes!😍

Explosive
Another nice addition to the Brotherhood series. Luciano and Francesca were burning the pages with their explosive chemistry. Even through great loss Love finds a way. It was also great to catch up with the baddest security team around.

Rose Lee you did not disappointed. The only disappointment is what am I going to read next. I read most of all the books in the botherhood and heart series. Now we need Jackson's story😉

I loved the action in the book. Fran was one tough woman!! She endured so much and still was there for Luciano. Talk about small worlds. I enjoyed reuniting with the family. Thank you

A Great Read😊
This story was everything that I have come to expect from one of my favorite authors Vivian Rose Lee. It contains mystery, intrigue, suspense, action, and most of all love.
As long as she keeps writing, I'll keep buying!!!

This book had everything
It was filled from the beginning with mystery, intrigue,coert ops,surprises and attraction. The men are bad but the women don't play either. Another good one.

Well worth the wait
I read ALL of Ms. Lee’s books this past 9 months. While this crazy pandemic interrupted many lives, I drifted away in Vivian Rose Lee’s world. After I finished her books , I flitted between various authors, looking for me next best book. HERE IT IS ! 🌷🥀🌹🌷😍
