Finance Bros

Bay Area Bros, Book 1

De: August Jones

Narrado por: Brandon Francis, Harley Chase

Ryan
Ever say something you regret? Like regret so hard you get the word REGRET tattooed on your arm? Same.

I accidentally told my stepbrother I was in love with him when we were fourteen. In my defense, strong cough syrup was involved, but to my great regret he hasn’t missed a chance to show me how disgusting I am ever since. He damn near ruined my life.

But I’m not a kid anymore, and the summer internship I scored at the best investment banking firm in San Francisco is my ticket to a perfect life. Everything is going to plan until he shows up.

Malcolm
My former stepbrother was supposed to fall off the face of the earth so I’d never have to look him in the eyes again, and honestly, I thought he had. The sight of him with his rock hard body in a great suit makes me feel things I’ve ignored for years. Things I’m not sure I’ll be able to avoid if I let him back into my life. And I wouldn’t except—I might need his help.

In addition to learning the ropes in finance, each intern gets a hundred bucks to turn into a pile of cash by the end of summer. Whoever makes the most wins a dream career with the firm. The only rule? There are no rules. When the rest of the interns pool their money for an advantage, I have to decide whether to go it alone and risk the job, or confront my complicated history with Ryan and work together. Good thing we both claim to be straight. Otherwise, this could get complicated.

Finance Bros is a hate to love MM stepbrother romance featuring pets, found family, a little angst, and lots of spice.

good one

this one isn't a waste of a credit. good well developed characters, solid storyline with some twists and turns and good narration. the stepbros to lovers trope is well used and this one follows a similar pattern as the others yet keeps you engaged.

A wild ride

I didn't know if I'd enjoy this but man, this was some high heat and yearning. Fun secondary characters as well.

Lots of spice

I liked this book. Harley chase is just ok gor me as a narrator. liked Brandon Francis. If ur here for the spice, this is a good one!

August never misses

I eyeball read this when it came out and loved it so I was excited to experience it again on audio. Harley Chase and Brandon Francis are the *perfect* Ryan and Mal.

Great narration and story

My first August Jones book and I really enjoyed it! Thank you to the author for a gifted Audible code. The narrators for Ryan and Malcolm are excellent - Brandon Francis and Harley Chase.

This is a former stepbrothers hate to love, workplace romance. It has spice, angst and laughter. They are adorable together. I like how their meeting again and having to work together makes them face their past and realize their feelings for each other.
