Brothers in Blue: Max

Brothers in Blue, Book 1

By: Jeanne St. James

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Ava Lucas

Meet the men of Manning Grove, three small-town cops and brothers, who meet the women who will change the rest of their lives. This is Max's story....

Big-city party-girl Amanda Barber has been spoiled most of her life. But life for Amanda suddenly becomes a major challenge: adapting to small-town life, dealing with her special needs brother, and constantly butting heads with a frustrating local cop.

As a police officer and former Marine, "responsibility" is Max Bryson's middle name. Never having been in a serious relationship, he has no plans for one in the near future. He likes being his own man. And even if he were interested in a serious relationship, he certainly wouldn't choose someone so immature and irresponsible as Amanda. But no matter how hard he tries, he can't get sexy Amanda out of his head or his heart. Watching her mature in front of his eyes, his protectiveness toward her only strengthens.

Bossy and possessive aren't the only words Amanda uses to describe this frustrating cop. She can't deny just looking at the man makes her tremble. But she's done with having anyone control her and this man isn't going to be any different. Or is he?

Note: This is a full-length novel and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. No cliff-hangers, and it has an HEA.

Great story and narrators. Love the way Amanda changed when she met Greg and Max and totally turn into a different person.

Great audiobook and narrators. Loved Max’s story and the small town and the way that Amanda totally changed once she met Greg and Max and his family. Totally loved the narrators-they are they made listening fantastic. Highly recommend this audiobook! Can’t wait to read Marc’s story!

So sweet

This was such a sweet story with a wonderful ending. I look forward to the next two books about Max’s brothers.

Love this series

I loved this series when I read it and I am so excited to be listening to It!!! Love this author! Amanda moves back to her home town to take care of her brother. She meets Max and they have instant chemistry but are not really fans of each other. Great read. Love Amanda's brother also!! Great series.

Oil and water combined

Amanda has inherited her half brother. Greg is a sweet, challenged young man that Amanda has been put in charge of. She left her fun, carefree life in Miami to become the caregiver to a man she has never met. Her first day in town she goes shopping. Enter Max, good looking and a cop giving Amanda a ticket. These two are like oil and water and it is so much fun to watch their interactions.

I enjoyed the interactions between Amanda and MaryAnne and how easily they got along. The grocery store adventure was comical. I'm still not sure what she needs 10 jars of peanut butter for. MaryAnne teaches her to cook, I think. I'm still not sure any of the cooking lessons were successful.

I'm looking forward to more family dinners with these two and Greg, as well as Max's family. Now I can't wait to see what woman can tame Mark. And Matt has secrets, so who will be able to handle this one?

This was my first Ava Lucas book and I love her. She brought out all of Amanda's emotions. Her I won't take any crud from you attitude to her deep concern when Greg goes missing to her need for her mother to accept her for who she is. Jason Clarke is stellar as always. He has the stern cop who disapproves of Amanda's capabilities and her closeness with his mother down pat. But then he meets Amanda's mother and his disapproval and attitude grow ten-fold, as well as his concern for Amanda and her feelings.

Max and Amanda

This was a great one. I loved Amanda and her brother Greg made the book. Greg was one hot cop. I loved how they went from not really liking each other to love. Her mom was not a nice person but they found a way and all was well in the end. Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas did outstanding! Highly recommend this one

I read and loved this book originally and was so excited to hear the audiobook version! Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas did a fantastic job of pulling you right into the heart of the story! Amanda, is a woman torn from life as she knew it in Miami and moved to a small town to take on the biggest responsibility of her life.

This is a story of compromise, growth, and breaking out of your comfort zone. Another wonderful story from Jeanne St James that have you ready and anxious to meet the rest of the Bryson Brothers!

Fantastic listen!

Loved this listen! Great story and characters, with plenty of humor and romance. Fantastic narrators who really brought the characters to life with unique voices for each. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Loved it!!

Loved the start of this series. The storyline and characters were great. Max and Amanda meet when she moves from Miami to take care of her brother. They have great chemistry from the start and Max, who isn’t looking for commitment, has to face that there is something more between them. Ava Lucas and Jason Clarke did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to more in this series.

Steamy narration and great story

I love Jeanne St James' Dare Menage series so I was excited to listen to the first audiobook of her Brothers in Blue series.

Though this isn't a story line that I would naturally gravitate to, I knew I could count on Jeanne to engage my interest and she managed to take craft a super sweet story but yet still keep the super hot chemistry and sexy times that I have come to expect when listening to her audiobooks

Ava Lucas' narration as usual is top notch, with her sexy confident voice and you can't go wrong with Jason Clarke narrating. He is fast becoming one of my favourite male narrators.

I can't wait to listen to the rest of this series
