Critic Reviews

“Be prepared to laugh hard and swoon even harder.” (B. Cranford, author of About Time)

My favourite in the series

The narration from John Lane and Maxine Mitchell was spot on. Totally brilliant.

If you need a computer hacked or anything electronic then Reid Matthews is your go to man. A man who has been disillusioned and hurt by life, that is until Aiden took a chance on him and offered him a job. Now he has finally found his place and a family; something he always longed for.

He has always been labeled a loser, no one ever wanted him until the men of BAM and their extended family welcomed him in. My heart just about broke for Reid at times for the geeky young man who needed and deserved love.

Working with Bentley, Aiden, Maddox and Sandy, Reid found what he had never had before, a future, love, acceptance and a family who whilst not related by blood is still family.

Becca is the perfect heroine for the awkward Reid. She is strong, confident and determined; she also has a wicked sense of humour and I loved how she related to Reid and the other characters.

Reid made me laugh, swoon and cry. Melanie Moreland always takes us on a wonderful adventure and this book is no exception. The camaraderie and love that the BAM family have for each other is truly heart warming. I fell more for Sandy than ever before whilst reading Reid, she has been such a steady an loving influence on all of the men and is a wonderful character.

Very satisfying

After reading the first three books in this series,I looked forward to Reid’s story and was not disappointed.It was a sweet love story with such lovable characters.Reid and Becca had a great connection from their first meeting.It was fun to see their love grow.The sex scenes were steamy and the author did a greet job showing Reid’s overall development into the man he was meant to be.

Love this self created family

Found this series and immediately fell in love with all of the characters. However, this was my favorite story in the series so far. If you have ever found a family in the friends that care for you along the way in your life, you will love these books. The stories of dealing with life and fighting back to find love and success. Reid is another misfit in the world that turns his life around and finds his own way. I laughed and cried all the way through this great story.

Reid

I loved Bentley, Aiden and Maddox, but I have to say I adore Reid. He was a secondary character in the previous books but his over the top personality was a great addition to the previous books. This one makes you fall in total love with him. One of the things I love about this author is she doesn’t follow the “canned” or “traditional “ romance plots. Each book is unique in its own way, there is relatively low drama and she builds relationships like they would be in real life, not the way other authors follow a format of lust, love, misunderstanding/break up and get back together.

Loving this series so much!

Each book in this series keeps getting better! I’m a huge sucker for strong women and the sexy men who love and protect them! This series, and this book, ticks all the boxes for me! Add in the narrating excellence of John Lane and Maxine Mitchell and you’ve got yourself a winner!

BEST ONE OF THE BUNCH ❤️

Reid’s story was by far my favorite. Laughing, crying and staying up late to finish.
Reid’s story was so heartbreaking and we all have known an “over perspective father”. All I can say is buy the entire series! Can’t wait for what is next. I can not stress how important the narrators have to be. The story comes alive. Worth every credit 😄

4.5 Stars

While not filled with as much angst and peril as its predecessors, the story line was good, especially since it dealt with male virginity as apposed to the standard female blushing virgin. John Lane’s vocals are perfect for all the characters.
Reid, the computer cyber-net genius, has matured over the course of the three prior books, even more so under the arm of Aiden.
That maturity came into full bloom at the perfect time when he stood up to Bentley, Aiden and Maddox to show them how much they were all hypocrites. They, meaning the three aforementioned men, were picking and choosing when Reid should bend “the rules”. That didn’t sit well especially when HIS GIRL needed him.
I liked Reid. His life began in the deficit but grew into one full of the best things in life - love, family and friends.

More(land), More(land), More(land)!

More, More, More! Is a line from a Billy Idol song if I remember correctly. After listening to Bentley, Aiden & Maddox all you want is More from Melanie Moreland. I was so thankful to find out that Van's story is next. Hopefully we dont have to wait long for the audio version. 😁

Reid's story is so many wonderful things. It's as if you got to be there as this boy grew into a man. Even with the lows he went through he comes out stronger because of the love of his BAM family. He grows into a man we'd all be happy & proud of. ❤

⭐⭐⭐⭐Narration was impeccable ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm not sure how John Lane pulls off the nuances of each man's voice from book to book. so impressive and talented he is. His Yoda needs a little work but it was perfectly imperfect. Maxine Mitchell is a stellar partner in crime. I love the strength and vulnerability she is always able to showcase.

Melanie Moreland please give us more in the Vested Interest realm. It is a great place to escape too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Worth a credit? ABSOLUTELY!!!!
I hope you are able to find what you are looking for. The entire series has been a delightfully distracting from my so called life. Chemo is no joke and the boy's of BAM are the perfect escape.

Opinions are my own and I'm easily made happy 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

great addition to this series

Reid the computer whiz kid gets bowled over by Rebecca and suddenly there's something far more interesting than computers to spend his time on.
The narrators did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life and I highly recommend this audiobook ❤
I'm looking forward to the next story in this series. ❤❤❤
