Brendon (Alluring Indulgence #8)
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling indie author Nicole Edwards comes the final scorching installment in her Alluring Indulgence series, erotic romances featuring the Texan Walker brothers and their sizzling-hot love interests.
Brendon Walker’s life was altered drastically when his twin brother fell in love. Coming to grips with his new reality hasn’t been an easy road, and he fears he’s all but given up.
Cheyenne Montgomery is familiar with the spotlight, and she’s familiar with fame. What she isn’t familiar with is the incredible lure of the sexy Walker brother who makes her heart beat wildly. Seeing him spiral out of control has been tough on her. So what will it take for Cheyenne to convince him that change can be a good thing?
REVIEW:
I will admit I am a huge fan of family series, I love that
you get more invested in the family with each book. Then I love that you get an ending with each
book then you get the next and you continue the journey with them. Nicole Edwards’ Alluring Indulgence Series
with the Walker Clan is by far one of the best out there. Ever one was a 5 Star for me and leading up
to Brendon I was anticipating being pretty annoyed with him and his ways. I wanted to see if he would grow and boy did
he.
I do not like to delve into previous books in reviews but on
this one I don't think you can ignore what lead up to Brendon's book without
giving it the credit it deserves on his evolvement into the man he is at the
end of the book. In earlier books we know
Brendon and Braydon shared EVERYTHING, including their women. When Brendon realized that Braydon was
falling in love with Jessie he went a little crazy and cause many issues with
Braydon, Jessie and himself. Obviously
he learned and backed off to let them be together but in doing so his life took
a downward spiral. Until Brendon's book
I didn't realize this downward spiral had a lot more to do with Cheyenne and
their lack of a relationship then with Braydon moving on with his life. I knew Brendon wasn't in love with Jessie and
I knew Jessie wasn't the issue but I did believe 90% of his issue was with him
feeling as thought he was losing his bond with Braydon.
Now moving onto the here and now we learn a lot more of
Brendon's thoughts and how he didn't realize he had dreams of having what his
brothers all had and he wanted that with Cheyenne. But when he first met her and he proposed
taking her to bed and sharing her with Braydon she turned him down on the spot. She will not be shared with anyone and as
much as she wanted Brendon she wanted him and no one else. She wanted someone to love her enough not to
want anyone near her, just as she wouldn't want to share him. He is not used to being turned down by anyone
and he knew right away before he made his proposition she was different and
while he didn't want to share her with Braydon he did because that is all he
has known his whole life. It's him and
Braydon against the world and it worked well for them until they both fell in love.
Growing up Cheyenne had a hard life outside of the love she
had from her grandparents. Her parents
are down right selfish and mean and they never wanted her until they could get
something from her and even then they were awful to her. She always dreamed of being a singer and her
grandmother pushed her to pursue her dreams.
Then one night in a dive bar performing she meets Travis Walker and
literally her life changes. He not only
saves her from a drunk patron, he introduces her to a producer and they build
what is to be a life-long friendship.
She is now a famous country singer with a big heart and has decided it
is time for her to make some roots. She
chooses Coyote Ridge to be where her grandparents were from. She buys a nice home that needs a lot of
rehab and hires Kylie, Travis's wife.
At a family welcome home/housewarming party Cheyenne and
Brendon both seem to decide it is time to start their friendship and move past
their prior arguments. They both know
realize how attracted they are to each other and over the next week decide on
going out on a date. Little did they
know that within a week or two they'd be living together because Cheyenne has a
crazed stalker and Brendon is going to protect her. We watch them grow as a couple and we watch
Brendon grow as a person and when he does he does it with flying colors. He figures out what he wants and he does
everything in his power to get it.
This is a true love story one that has been built over a few
years with many bumps in the road but in the end as with all of the Walker men
they prove the journey is well worth the ride.
And the epilogue is one of the best I've read, the
conclusion, or so we thought, to the Walker Family.
