Steamy as only a Maya Banks can be!!!
I liked this story a lot. It has a lot of yummy Highlanders and strong women. This book is the first in a trilogy. Its about three brothers who's he..Show More »arts were harden by loss. So we know what will happen they will find the women that will allow them to find love and what it really means. That is every romance. But what a true romance fan loves is how the characters get there. The author did a great job in telling the older brother's story. The narrator made it every entertaining.
It can be graphic so if that is not what you are into then don't read or listen to Maya Banks books. I think she is a good story teller with a lot spicy.
There are some fight scenes and highlander politics which I thought gave the book more depth.
I hope audible will record the other books. I would like to know what will happen next.
