Tammy Falkner lives on a farm in a lovely, sprawling little town in rural NC with her beekeeper husband and a house full of boys, a few dogs, and a cat or two (or five – who has time to count?). As half of the Lydia Dare team, she has co-written ten books, including the Westfield Wolves series and the Gentlemen Vampyre series. A huge fan of Regency England, she often wonders what other kinds of magical, mythical and strange creatures might live and interact within the ton. Exploring the theory that the fae can walk between Regency England and their own land, Tammy spends as much time as possible with the lords and ladies of society, horse-drawn carriages, and elegant balls. Now add to that some faeries, a little murder, a bit of mayhem, and a troublesome garden gnome, and you have her exciting new series. She hopes you enjoys her world as much as she does.
Wow! What a fun series. Well, I’m not sure that’s really an apt description. These books are filled with wonderful individual characters, but when you put all the Reed brothers together you get so much more. They are a tight-knit, loving family who really understands that they may not have much materially but they are rich in the things that count. They’ve not had it easy. They had a great life until their mother died and their father left them. Paul, the oldest, managed to keep the family together. It wasn’t easy raising four younger brothers but he did it. And he did it amazingly well.
I know that each brother will get their own story and that all them will be featured in each of those stories, but the first two books are pretty much all about Logan and Emily, aka, Kit. I’m not sure where to begin this review. There are so many emotions packed into their story. Logan has been deaf since he was twelve. Emily has dyslexia and has been shunned by her father because of it. They meet totally by chance but everything after that is choreographed perfectly by Ms Falkner. I can almost guarantee that you’ll be laughing, crying, laughing so hard you’ll cry, and screaming in frustration as you read through the pages of their story.
The last story in this box set is Pete and Reagan’s story. Pete is an ex-con but he was Reagan’s savior once. They meet again when Pete is asked to help out at a summer camp that Reagan’s family runs. Their story is sweet yet raw.
In each one of these books, you get a tragic story that is all too common. You’ll come away with a new understanding in each one of them. I’m off to find out Reagan’s Revenge……
Libro 1 y 2. Historia de Logan y Emily. Al principio me gusto, porque ambos protagonistas tenían problemas y su relación se tenía que adaptar a ellos. Pero todo paso muy rápido: en una semana ya se amaban y en un mes Logan había superado los complejos de años y había vuelto a hablar y Emily había aprendido lengua de signos. El segundo libro, con su reencuentro, fue aún más apresurado y la trama era ridícula. Ahora resulta que para ganarte el favor de alguien tienes que morir. Libro 3. Historia de Pete y Reagan. En el segundo libro nos enteramos que Pete estaba detenido. Este libro empieza una vez que sale de prisión. Su agente de la condicional le pide que vaya a un campamento de verano de niños discapacitados, porque puede ayudar al saber lengua de signos. Allí se reencuentra con Reagan, su relación es también muy rápida, pero entiendo un poco que lo justifiquen con los años de conocerse en su mente. Reagan tiene problemas de confianza, y vemos como lucha un poco con ese sentimiento. Porque los psicólogos no existen claro. De los 3 libro en general puedo destacar las relaciones familiares entre los personajes, consigue que te preocupes por los hermanos Reed. Hay un sentimiento de protección y confianza siempre presente, y lo traspasan a las mujeres que Logan y Pete quieren. Y también me ha gustado que los protagonistas masculinos tengan problemas y en lugar de culpar al mundo, decidan ayudar a otros. Pete, pese a no estar muy desarrollado en el libro, muestra que se preocupa por los niños y jóvenes del campamento. Bien por los personajes, no tanto por la rapidez de la trama.

First three books of the Reed Brothers series. There are 5 Reed brothers and the first two books in the series are about Logan the middle brother, and the third book is about Pete the youngest. I am loving this Reed family! The five brothers live and work together, owning a tattoo shop. The brothers are very close and are secondary characters in each of the books. Each brother is enjoying the bachelor life, until meeting "the one"! Their road to HEA is not easy but takes work, sacrifices, and communication to overcome their obstacles. This is my first time reading Tammy Falkner and I loved these books and I will be reading more in the series. I love the Reed brothers!!
Very different book for me and enjoyed both stories. Dark Content to the second book and prejudice in the first. Loved all the brothers and looking forward to Paul’s story,
I really enjoyed the first three stories of this series. The characters are such real people and so relatable. I will definitely be buying more from this author.
I've read these 3 books a few times now and each time I fall more in love with them. There's just something about them I love. These are must read books.
