I grew up in the suburbs of Seattle, raised by two people who wanted nothing but the best for me. They’d given me everything. A beautiful home, an excellent education, and so much love and respect. They were the two people I trusted most in the world—until I found out the truth. The truth about what they’d done thirty-three years ago and the secret they thought they’d take with them to their graves.
I’d felt a piece of me was missing my entire life, and I could never explain or make sense of it. Then everything started coming full circle when I found out why and how I was ripped away from my biological parents and my twin brother at birth.
The journey I was about to embark on wouldn’t be easy, and my life would be forever changed. Amid all the chaos and getting to know my real family, I met a beautiful woman who was different from anyone I’d ever met. She blew into my life at the wrong time, and as hard as I tried to stay away from her, she wouldn’t let me. She was always there, in my face, with the most beautiful smile I’d ever seen. She was carefree, fun, full of life, and sometimes annoying. I wasn’t a relationship type of guy, and I feared she was the one person I’d spent my life running from.
Charleigh
Dr. Christian Chase was a hot mess when I met him. He was a sexy and brilliant surgeon who had experienced so much betrayal and hurt that I feared his wounds would never heal. We clicked right off the bat. Okay, maybe that wasn’t the case, considering how we met. But with a little persistence on my end, we became friends with a few nice perks thrown in. I wasn’t a relationship type of girl. Considering what life had dealt me, someone I once loved told me I was selfish for wanting a man to love me. And the more I thought about it, the more he was right.
Loving Dr. Christian Chase was easy. Walking away from him was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
Writing is my passion and my mission is to provide readers with romance novels that will whisk them away into another world and from the daily grind of life - one book at a time.
Christian, heart surgeon, single, player, and oh so hot. After finding the family he never knew about. He's tormented with trust.
Charleigh is a spitfire, her father owns a bar named after her, she's a cardio NP in the ER. She brings home a hot sexy drunk from the bar and lets him sleep it off at her place. She helps the homeless, she wants to live each day like it's her last. She had a heart transplant 12 years ago and thanks to an ex she fears being worthy of love.
It's a gorgeous story of so much heartache for both Christian and Charleigh that you cannot stop reading.
Wow Sandi Lynn just WOW! Not only is this series one of the best that I’ve ever read but Nine Of A Kind (Kind Brothers #10) is absolutely outstanding. I highly anticipated Christian’s book and my goodness, it exceeded my expectations. The storyline is filled with depth, it’s engaging, angsty and emotionally heart wrenching.
Christian’s parents lied to him his entire life and it turned his world upside down. He relocates to Los Angeles to not only find more information about his past but to also continue his career as a cardiothoracic surgeon. When Charleigh, a nurse practitioner meets Christian for the first time while he’s drowning his sorrows at her father’s bar, there is immediate chemistry and a connection. Since neither one of them are looking for anything serious, they begin a friends with benefits relationship. They are a perfect match who need each other more than they know.
Obviously Christian has a mountain of issues however, Charleigh isn’t without her issues either. And because of those issues, they go through a lot. However, everything turned out just as it should have and this beautiful love story is truly amazing.
When Shaun Kind gave everyone a 23andme test he never though in a million years that they would find more Kind Brothers/Cousins .. except they never ever saw this match coming !!
Dr. Christian Chase is a famous cardio thoracic surgeon in Seattle and is NOW ready to make the transition to Los Angelas .. why now you ask ?? It ALL has to do with the 23andme DNA testing and you WONT believe why and how !!
With all of this change going on with Dr. Chase meets Charleigh Ellis a nurse at Cedar he will be working with BUT doesn’t know that because they agreed to be friends and sex partners and nothing more .. they don’t know each other’s favorites colors or flowers ….
Except we all know how that worked out for ALL of Kind men just saying they will be friends and I don’t think Christian will let us down in that right either except maybe it is Charleigh that is the one that doesn’t want more .. or does she ??
They seem to love spending time with each other and the Kind family so maybe hopefully they will rub off on these two because they are both lost souls that NEED each other in one way or another and boy when you find out what the other is you will be screaming, crying and laughing ALL at the same time and get the tissues because you and Connor Kind will need them !!
LOVED IT !! Thank you Sandi for finding two more Kind cousins to write about because this family needs to go onnnnnnn !!
What a book, absolutely loved this story and the series. Renowned Heart Surgeon Dr Christian Chase does something on a whim and his life implodes. There’s a crime and a mystery to solve as his world unravels. Fleeing his home city to a place he knows well, Dr Christian ends up so drunk the bar owner’s daughter takes care of him. Charleigh is the loveliest person and unknown to either of them they have a connection. As Christian’s story unfolds it made me cry. Like me readers of the previous books may guess what this could be as they read it, but it doesn’t detract at all from the story. Well written and an absolute 10* for emotion.

Wow! This book was so good, my review won't begin to do this book justice. I laughed and cried while reading this book. Their journey wasn't an easy one but was so worth the read. Their story will take you on an emotional journey like no other but in the best possible way. Highly recommend.
Sandi Lynn has done it again. Another amazing read. I cannot get enough of these Kind men. But I have to say this one, Christian is the most emotional one of all. The tears I cried for him. What he is facing is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. To realize you do not know who you are anymore. To find out your whole life was a lie. And the only two people who know the truth refuse to tell him anything. They just want him to accept what they did and move on. If you can find the good in all this it would be the family he now has. The brothers he never knew and the cousins too. A twin. Now when he thinks back to whenever he was in Conner’s presence and he felt something he couldn’t explain, well now he can. They say twins have a special bond from sharing a womb. These Kind men are special. They are always there for one another. The love they share for one another is incredible. You cannot get enough of these men. The closeness, protection, support they have for each other. They would do anything for each other. Christian fell right into them. It is as though he was always part of them. Each book gets better and better. I never want this series to end. Sandi Lynn once again gives readers what we have always expect with her books, pure perfection.
Dr Christian Chase is just learning the secret his parents have held for 33 years. So he leaves Seattle and heads to Los Angeles. Looking to start again as the lead cardio thoracic surgeon at Cedars Sinai Hospital he is surrounded by his friends, the Kind family.
Just when he didn't expect it, in walks nurse Charleigh to save him. Saving his drunk butt at her dad's bar, she takes him home and with the help of her neighbor gets him laid out on her couch. Christian is surprised when he wakes up in a strange place. Then Charleigh introduces herself and tells him she's a nurse and getting ready for work. So he heads back to his hotel and calls in help from one of his detective friends, Simon Kind.
So much is going on in Christian's personal life and he searching for answers. And it seems like not only is Charleigh there for him, but so are all of the members of the Kind family.
But these secrets will forever change his future and that of his friends. What will happen between him and Charleigh?
So, so good!! This family is incredible. Can't wait for the additional books. Thank you Sandi Lynn for all of the laughs and even the tears. You are truly a wonderful author! Enjoy
Fully obsessed with this series – it keeps getting better! I’ve fully become obsessed with this series and the characters so much and I can’t get enough, and this book had me on the edge of my seat! Christian has been sought after for years to relocate to LA from Seattle, but his parents are adamant that he stays local to them, and when he takes a DNA test, he finds out why. After relocating with help from the Kind brothers, Christian meets Charleigh, who ironically works in the same department as him but as a nurse, although the meet through different circumstances that make them friends with benefits, and as they continue to get to know each other, it turns into something more. I have to say, this book had me wide-eyed as I read what happened to Christian and his parents, and I loved how Charleigh was intertwined into the family as well, it was super unexpected and added an extra layer to the storyline. I loved this book and I can’t wait for the next installment – I’m going to be so sad when it’s over! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I've loved this series so much, I've binged read all 10 book's in 3weeks! I havent done that with any book series ever. The Kind me are all gripping, all troubled but they are all lovable. Christian appeared in books 8 and 9 but this book was his story, he wasn't a kind but he was a top heart surgeon that the Kind brothers admired greatly, He lives in Seattle where he mastered the art of heart surgery, it's his life and he has no time for anything else. Until he received a message from a DNA APP, the message told him that he had 3 matching siblings and 4 matching cousins, he was in shock because is a single child of his parents. He confronts them when he asks for a second check and the results stay the same! What happens next affects not just Christian but all the Kind family. This is such a great book and I luck forward to the next book.
Nine of a kind is the tenth book in the Kind Brothers series and we meet Christian and Charleigh in this medical work place romance. I have read every book published in the Kind Series by this writer, and I have to say Sandi went above and beyond on this book.The flow of the characters across every book yet keeping the story line fresh and entertaining has been fantastic. Christian and Charleigh have such an amazing relationship. Charleigh is a strong yet sweet and caring woman. Charleigh has a wonderful look on life when it comes to helping others. Christian Kind will melt your heart, my heart breaks for him for all he’s been through. So much is going on in Christian's personal life and he searching for answers. I loved this book from start to finish. It had me in tears.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book to provide a honest opinion.
Another book by Sandi Lynn that keeps you reading. This is by far the most emotional one out of all the Kind series 😪 After confronting his parents after a DNA test Christian finds out his parents have lied to him his whole life and is devastated that his life was a lie, he decides to up and move to LA to start a new life and to find out who he really is. Charleigh meets Christian when he is sat in her fathers bar getting drunk, she helps him by taking him home to sober up. They both become best friends with benefits as they both don't want anything serious. The chemistry between these two is 🔥 🔥 🔥 This book kept me hooked from start to finish 😍 They never fail to disappoint. Roll not the best book 🥰
Yet again Ms Lynn gives us another brilliant instalment of this great series about the Kind family that just keeps on growing. I knew deep down when Eight of A Kind came to the end that part Nine was going to be a lot of angst and a rollercoaster of emotions. It gave me watery eyes and a lump in my throat what Christian discovered and went through. Of course apart from the subject matter there has to be romance and wow what a steamy pair Christian and the formidable Charleigh made. They both had their hidden demons to work through and in true Kind style there was heartache along the way. Fabulous stories to escape and get lost in. I'm looking forward to what's planned next with this family.
Christian finds out what his parents did and pretty much packs up and leaves without ever seeing them again. Charleigh finds him drunk and takes him home with her since she doesn't know where he lives. The tale is kind of reversed in their situation. He falls for her and she has a fit and tells him that they were suppose to just be friends with benefits. Truthfully she loves him also but since she had a heart transplant when she was 12 she has cut herself off from finding love. Someone from her past put it in her head she wouldn't be around long enough and would just bring someone heartache. The whole was his "parents" dealt with what they done was unsatisfying for me. It was just a way to close that part of the story instead of letting them face the consequences of their actions.
Christian and Charleigh are one of the most emotional couples in the Kind series. I believe it is also one of the author's series with more socio-emotional themes. It definitely won my heart. Imagining that everything could be apparently in its right place and suddenly everything radically collapse was one of the touching plottwist. It's complicated to say more, as we would give away many spoilers, but both Christian and Charleigh are absolutely frank and sensitive and she is also another plot twist for any man who thinks he owns the situation 😅 , she is simply wonderful! I love this series!
Just when I thought my last brother was my favorite here comes another. I absolutely LOVED Christian and Charleigh is the best match for him. When everything fell apart for Christian I wanted to cry with him. Charleigh has a wonderful look on life when it comes to helping others. When it comes to herself not so much! She has a wonderful gift and it was amazing how the two intertwined. I love reading the other characters as well and I have to say this one is my favorite for now. Each book is a stand alone but I STRONGLY suggest starting at the beginning and reading them all you will not be disappointed.
Christian and Charleigh's story was the most anticipated and was worth the wait. Completely unputdownable. We all have fallen in love with the Kind family and all the characters. I personally laughed but also cried with them. The angst and suffering Christian went through from the beginning of the story on his way "out of the storm", kept me hooked reading. All the love that surrounded him was very powerful and needed. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? I demolished this book in a matter of hours It was that good, and as expected, it made me cry, but they soon turned into happy tears. This family has my heart, and Christian is the perfect addition. Ok, so, Dr. Christian Chase is a surgeon who uncovers some disturbing news and moves to L.A. to discover who he really is. Whilst on this discovery, he meets Charleigh and sparks fly. He also finds the family he so desperately needs. If I could give this more stars, I would. Thank you, Sandi Lynn, for giving me the escape I need.
My favorite of all the Kind books to date. This book was full of emotion. Get your tissues ready. But it’s really worth the the tears. I have loved every book in this series so far and each time I read the next one it then becomes my new favorite. What a rollercoaster of a ride this one was. I stayed up all night to finish it but when I did finish it I never wanted it to end. I wanted more. I love how smart Ella is. Such a darling little girl
I can’t wait to read the next book about the weddings. Happy reading and I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series.
Terrific series but I suggest you do not read unless you have read previous books. Much of this story will not be clear to a new reader . There are 9 books prior setting up the story! Previous reader s were prepared for this and, as I did,v anticipate what would be revealed, Nothing prepares for the depth of sorrow, anger, and anguish that is revealed. This book is very emotional, clever, funny,heart warming, heart breaking, and enjoyable! Christian does find the truth snout his past and his own romantic love along this strange journey!
You can never get enough of this fabulous family of men.and the women beside them!!!!!
Meeting Christian in the past set.the stage for this amazing series to move on from the past with new feelings in their hearts that would break and heal hearts at the same time. The beach houses might be filled up with Kind men and their Significant others but the love that is shared is special to each and everyone. Do yourself a favor and travel the road with them you will not be disappointed. Also check out other books from Sandi Lynn!!!!. ❤😂😭🔥🔥
Wow, I love the Kind Family. Dr. Christian chase (Cardiothorasic Surgent),took a 23 and me test to discover who he thought he was, was all a lie. He was raised well had a good life. However his parents had lied to him and he realized his parents had committed a crime. Christian Left Seattle for Los Angeles, got drunk and woke up on a stranger couch. That stranger was Charleigh. Her dad owned the bar. Charleigh was a nurse practitioner. Anyway there relationship took many turn as well as Christian finds his real family.
What a book. I have loved, loved, loved this series and loved each of the boys and their stories. BUT....Christians story...OMG. I was glued to my seat throughout the book. Loved the storyline and the connection between Christian and Charleigh. The chemistry between these two were off the charts 🔥 Who would have thought that she would come face to face with her surgeons son and that he had only ended up in LA because of what he had found out by the DNA testing. This book is a must read and you won't be disappointed.
I loved this book from start to finish. It had me in tears.
I felt so sorry for Christian for how his family lied to him about his real family. It was tough for him finding out that he had three brothers and the up side he had a twin brother Connor.
When his brothers found out that Christian was in fact their brother they were so pleased that he was alive and well. Plus all the cousins were elated also his little niece Ella.
Charleigh was a nurse in the same ward as Christian who was afraid to fall in love after her previous relationship went down. Christian had an instant attraction to Charleigh. One day Christan professed his love to Charleigh but she shot him straight down.
Sandi he’s yet again graced us with another fantastic book and I am so looking forward to reading the next book when it’s out.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Wow! Another amazing Story and the Kinf family joking together to help each other! Have to say bringing little miss Ellie into this family is so breathtaking, and how she brings everyone together. Her honesty, and her brilliance is amazing. Now with Christian, and all he has learned is, just so emotional for all. The tears flowed. Sandi, you outdid yourself again.❤️
Christian's story is amazing get your tissues ready
Loved Christian's story. It sucks you right in and you can't put it down. Cha Raleigh is perfect for him,, especially how they are gained together by fate. Sandi Lynn tells such wonderful stories and this is no exception. I don't think you can read it and not become emotionally involved. Each Kind man is so very special you can't help but love each one.
Another fantastic read with the Kind family. Christian finally accepts he doesn’t know the truth to his background with the second DNA test telling him he has siblings. He confronts his parents and they give him some information. He leaves them and moves to California to the friends he has and continues to look for answers. You can read as a stand alone but so much better when you read the series in order. I’m going to miss this family with only one book left!
I don't know how can someone justify their horrifying action to love. The way Christian's not so biological parents did. It was horrible. I felt so hurting for Christian and his brothers. The things they had to go through specifically Connor. I wish there was one part on Conner's pov as well.
But this book was amazing as like rest of them and can't wait for others.
Another amazing book from Sandi. She writes amazing stories that are short and packs the ultimate punch. I absolutely love this family series of brothers and cousins. She also has weaved a some characters from her other books in this series. Her books are very well written and her story lines flow very nicely. This book in particular is a tear jerker. And the few topics are realistic. Such as a transplant patient. My parent had a kidney transplant.
Another great addition to the Kind Brothers. I have loved every single one of their stories and I wish they would never end.
Christian and Charleigh meet when he drinks himself into a stupor at Charleighs fathers bar. He had just found out that the people he knew as his parents had actually stolen him at birth and lied to him for 33 years.
I have devoured all of these books and will definitely reread them from the start. LOVED IT!!!
