I've been absent from my blog for far too long. Writing and
my kids summer vacation is taking up all my free time. But I must say I'm
sporting a nice golden tan and I'm working on my next two books. So all in all
busy but having fun too!
Before I started to write books I wrote reviews for the Long and
Short Review Website. Don't ask me what my flower name was because I'll never
tell! I never gave a bad review because, I, unlike some people, always saw the
good in every book. Granted I didn't fall in love with every book I read but
I'm a believer in just because I didn't like it, doesn’t mean the next person
won't love it. Everyone is different and have different taste. Bashing a book
someone worked hard on isn't my style. As a book reviewer you need to look at
the book objectively and be fair and honest with what you have to say. For the
most part I think I did that.
With as much as I read I thought it only fitting to review
some of these works of reading art. I love to read probably more than I love
chocolate and that is saying a lot right there. Something I've learned as a
writer is how important book reviews are. People like to get opinions on the
product before they buy it, so reviews and ratings go a long way. I'm guilty of
reading a book then forgetting to go back and review it. We all get busy but if
we can set aside a bit of time for these authors they will more than appreciate
it.
The Delaneys At Home
by Anne Brooke
5 Stars
The latest book I've read is The Delaneys at Home. It’s the fifth book in the Delaneys series and I for one absolutely love this series. They're short stories that are fast passed reads that leave me wanting more. The characters are well thought out and have both likeable and not so likable character traits to them.
In this installment Liam has moved in with Johnny and Mark
Delaney. The twins may look alike but have completely different personalities.
The one thing they more than agree on is their love for Liam, the lover they
share between them. Liam is that quirky easy to like character who you want to
see good things happen too. Johnny is the more laid back twin and gives his
affection without hesitation. He shows mercy when his brother might not. Now
Mark he's that character I'm always debating if I like him or not and the same
thing went for this book as well. He’s a very direct man who allows no room for
error. He demands respect. But as I follow this series I realized it’s what
helped make up the dynamic between the threesome. Mark is the leader where Liam
and Johnny are the followers. Their unconventional relationship works for them
and sets my senses reeling with every flip of the page, or in my case, every
click of the mouse.
Liam has kept a secret from the twins and the Delaneys feel
like it’s their responsibility to make Liam see the error of his ways. His
punishment was definitely interesting and quite inventive. Every book pushes
Liam’s boundaries but in a good way.
The chemistry between these three men leaps off the pages.
The love scenes are deliciously written with no detail left out. But more than
that is the love and respect they feel toward one another that keeps me coming back for more. With short stories it’s
an achievement to write an engrossing storyline that will capture your
attention and Mrs. Brooke has covered all her bases with her latest addition.
If you’re a reader looking for a different kind of love
story with a pinch of angst, than the Delaneys series is one for you. I
recommend reading all the books in the series. The timeline between each book
is only a matter of days. I think maybe in one there is a leap in months but
all pretty current. It’s a group of books that captured my attention and leaves
me on pins and needles until the next one is released.
