Seven Brothers. Seven Brides. A revenge seven years in the making.
For eight long years, I’ve done whatever it takes to keep my brothers alive. If I’ve lost my soul in the process, it’s a small price to pay. But my Bride is Winry, and the Amazon queen’s youngest daughter is nothing like I expect. She’s fragile and innocent and every time I open my mouth, she flinches.
Maybe that’s why I convince my friend—and sometimes lover—Maddox to join us, a kinder hand to soften my sharp edges and make Winry feel safe. This handfasting was only ever meant to be temporary, a way to prove a point before releasing my Bride back to her life and me back to mine.

the fact that the publication for this one is 'on hold indefinitely' is tragic personally. for someone with no interest in this genre i sure am invested in this story, so this development? tragic. but i'm shelving it because if it ever gets published i have every intention of reading it.
Thee are the characters at the end of Broderick book. I’m putting it here because it all happens before Cohens book so contains no spoiler. It does contain spoilers for Abel & Broderick books. Characters:
Abel (tall & muscular, economic fighter, harsh, resilient but cold with a hot fire underneath , Eli (Leader of Raiders, rangy but strong, glasses, strategic thinker, brains), Harlow (Eli wife, light red hair, moral center) Eli & Abel were best friends until Eli helped dad kill Abel dad. Eli dad set fire to compound, killed 40. Eli didn’t know until too late.
Broderick, Monroe (heir/queen of Amazons), Shiloh (amazon & Raider). Monroe now queen of Amazon after learning of queen hypocrisy toward Shiloh abusive parents & attempts to kill Shiloh to cover it up. Monroe forced queen to abdicate. Now Broderick Shiloh & Monroe all live with Amazon, support Monroe rule.
Cohen (described as Monster who does Abel' dirty work, cold & deadly, insomniac who obsessive about patrol at night) Maddox (blond Raider, Cohens second) and Winry (amazon younger sister, Monroe super protective, supposedly sweet and soft). Cohen only has 2 close lovers : Samson (died in coup fire) & Maddox. He’s letting Maddox deal with Winry.
Donovan - (follows "whim & humor", probably take over household org from Broderick) Mabel (mystic) Sonya (Mystic, Mabels bodyguard? who come voluntarily)
Ezekiel (was "sweet kid" until betrayal of coup, now Monster and cold) Jasper (nephew to Amazon Queen) and Beatrix (mystic, not a Bride but Jasper wife) The three were inseparable before coup. In Brod book, has had them tied to the bed for 3 weeks, and they seem to have bruises and Ezekiel says "they're paying penance."
Finnegan, Iris (raider, were couple before Brides) Matteo (mystic)
Gabriel (youngest son, may be sneaking out) Fallon (mystic, described as Feral)
Rae - surgeon who Harlow calls after Eli shot. Offered position in compound

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Imagine just chilling in Sabine Valley when you find out the 7 brothers are back. And that they all end up in triad relationships. And they got together in order of when they were born like some weird paint-by-numbers relationship advice column. Must be wild.
(Unless Robert surprises me and they don't all end in throuples?)
Adding this to the eant to read, hoping that the series continues. I've read 10 or so books books out of all her current series and the hugely popular vampire queen, but I have to say this series hooked me more. I really hope she comes back to it.
