Publisher's summary

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Melody Anne begins a sizzling and heartfelt series about Joseph Anderson’s long-lost nephews.

Finn Anderson is a loyal military veteran who has no desire to live a life of luxury and ease, but sometimes a person doesn’t get a choice. His life is flipped upside down when he and his four brothers learn they’re long-lost relatives of the absurdly famous and wealthy Joseph Anderson. The eccentric but generous billionaire puts the brothers to work building a new veterans center, and that’s not all: Joseph won’t stop until each nephew finds love.

Finn has never expected or wanted an easy life, and he struggles with his early retirement from the elite SEAL team. But when a very confident Brooke Garrison literally sweeps him off his feet during a self-defense class he’s teaching, he thinks less about his past and more about a brand-new future.

If Finn knows anything for certain, it’s that he can’t let this woman get away. Though Brooke is tough and compassionate, the loss of her brother has left her vulnerable. She isn’t sure she can risk loving and losing another person in her life, including a very determined ex-SEAL. Can the two of them look beyond their past wounds and embrace what they’re feeling?

Good Series Kickoff

This is my first book by this author. It was interesting and well written. The characters are likeable and the plot held my attention. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Charming!

Joseph Anderson was tired of not having the pitter patter of little feet around the house because his children hadn't found their match, yet. He takes it upon himself to find the "match made in heaven" and, inexplicably, he's always right! That's the little piece of joy at the heart of every previous Billionaire book by Melody Anne. Now, Joseph is made aware of a whole new family of his when the widow of Joseph's despicable uncle comes to see him, knowing that she's dying and to let him know that her sons have nobody else but him in the world. That little match-making spark comes to life and he's ready to play! Finn is the oldest of the brothers and he is the one who felt the most responsibility to their mother in her last months and days. She trusted him to take care of his brothers and he became their frugal caretaker. Even now, when he has inherited his vast inheritance from the Anderson wealth, he behaves as if it doesn't exist. He's a medically discharged Navy Seal who is taking time to decide what he wants to do next. Brooke Garrison was a medic in the military until her discharge. Her heart was ripped apart the day she got the call that her big brother had died in combat. He was her idol and now she felt empty. When she hears that "the Joseph Anderson" is planning to build a vets' center, she's interested because he doesn't do anything other than first class. Joseph's plan is to get Finn and Brooke together under the guise of planning the vet center and she resists a little, at first, but Finn is all in. Heck, he knew after she tackled him during a self defense class, that she was the one for him and he was going to marry her. What an enjoyable story and the high energy these two bring to their relationship and their dates is fascinating. They grow closer as soon as they decide they are going to be equals in this job and nobody makes a decision without the other's approval. Finn and Brooke are adorable and, even though I wanted to shake Brooke out of her indecision, they make a perfect couple. Another perfect match for Joseph!
The narration is wonderfully done by Teri Clark Linden. She gives each character a strong, clear voice that is laced with emotion and personality. Charming!

Anderson's

I have listen to most of the Anderson clan. it is a very good series. I so love when couples have babies. it makes the story more real. I my self come from a very large family and have enjoyed them immensely. looking forward to hear more stories.

An Easy Read. Good narration.

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a very good job.

Finn and Brooke were an ok couple once she decided she could date him. Finn stated he wasn't hurting financially before he found out he and his brothers were part of Joseph Anderson's family. I thought theIr dates were rather elaborate, unless he already had access to his inheritance.

I did wonder why so much focus waa put on Finn not trusting Joseph. He had no problem with the money or the project Joseph was offering. I thought he held on to his mistrust a little too long.

I also thought about how much effort Finn was putting into trying to have a relationship with Brooke. Did she reciprocate? Even after she decided to date him? To me, it seemed like it took a while before the relationship balanced out.

Once they really got together, this book was about supporting your significant other, overcoming past issues, family, love, and romance. Finn was a lighthearted read with little to no angst, and its fair share of steamy scenes.

Finn
