Bachelor Brothers #3
To Be a Bridegroom
Jarrett, Jonathan and Jordan are Bachelor Brothers
Jordan.
The youngest Hunter brother, he's dark and devilishly attractive, and he's been content to play the field...until Stazy Walker takes a lease on the apartment next door.
Stazy.
At first Jordan finds her teasing, infuriating, because she treats him as casually as the other male admirers who seem constantly to knock at her door. But then Jordan catches glimpses of the warmth and vulnerability that lie beneath Stazy's beautiful exterior, and he realizes there's only one way to get to the head of her lineup: be her bridegroom!

Re: To Be A Bridegroom - Carole Mortimer does the final installment of her Bacherlor Brother's trilogy AND sets us up for the M&B exclusive Prince Brother's series.
The h in this one is 22 and when the story starts, she is attending the wedding of the previous book's h and H with bachelor brother #3.
It turns out they are neighbors and the last remaining brother saw the h in the lift while they were going up to their next door to each other flats and he randomly asked her out.
The h is wondering why she ever agreed to such an impromptu date with a neighbor who has pretty much ignored her for the last three months. First, she had no idear that she was going to a wedding and second, the H who asked her out has done nothing but sulk and scowl at her occasionally.
When the H from the first book asks the h to dance because her H is ignoring her, we find out that the first book's H knows this h's older brother. But the h isn't too keen to reveal any personal information and she decides she is going home.
That wakes her H up from his sulk, but a run in with his very estranged mother - whom the h thinks is an ex fling- allows the h to escape back to her home.
The last bachelor H decides right then and there that he wants the tiny red haired h, but to his great shock, all these guys keep moving into share her flat.
It turns out that the h is an interior designer and the H gets her to redecorate his flat and also do some rooms for his brother's and their wives. We eventually learn that the three men that are staying at the h's flat are her brothers.
They are all big time Hollywood types and both the H and h's oldest brothers are very good friends. The h's brothers are all ridiculously overprotective of the h and there is a big row going on between them and the h, as well.
It takes this poor H most of the book to figure out the h's complicated history and he is only more confused when he takes the h to meet the last book's psychiatrist guy and famous actress mother and the h is so horrified at meeting the psychiatrist, she falls ill and has to rush home.
A little more of the h's mysterious past is revealed when they run into the H's Art Critic cousin and the h gets into a huge argument with him about yet another man in her past.
After 150 pages of hints and the H realizing he really likes this h, finally the whole truth comes out. The h's Hollywood Chauvinistic Brother's are only her half brothers. Her widowed mum went to England for a holiday after her husband died and met up with the psychiatrist - who was an old acquaintance.
They had a brief affair, because the psychiatrist's son was very ill and his wife had walked out on him - so both of them were taking a little comfort from grief with each other. The h's mother became pregnant with the h, but then she returned to raise her sons and she never told the psychiatrist about the h.
(When the H learns this he throws in a random thought that thank goodness the h's parent's did not marry for the baby h's sake - cause everyone knows those forced marriage situations never work out. )
When the h's mother died three years earlier, the h figured out she had a different father. The h believed that the psychiatrist guy never wanted the h and rejected her beloved mother and so she has resentments about it.
The h also met an aspiring actor after her mother's death and became engaged to him. But a bad review from the H's Art Critic cousin and her oldest director brother dropping him from his movie meant that the h's actor dropped the h in favor of a more promising prospect.
The h blames her brother for being mean and also felt alienated from the rest of her brothers because she has a different father. So she went to England, she felt better there as she had also been sent to school in England growing up.
But now her brother's want her to return to the US and the h believes her love for the H is unrequited. She and the psychiatrist have a nice long chat about things too give the h some parental closure too.
The h learns that the psychiatrist's son died several years earlier, so the psychiatrist guy is quite happy to be a dad again and would have been one much sooner had he known about the h.
The H gets really jealous about the h and the psychiatrist guy, but when she starts crying over the whole confusing family situation, the H panics and admits he loves her.
Since the h has been in love with the H since chapter five and all the brother's like each other, we leave the entire family, (all the brothers and wives and psychiatrist dad included,) celebrating the H and h's wedding and all the ladies are plotting on how to get the h's brothers married off for the big sequel baiting for another trilogy HEA.
This one was okay and made a nice end point to the trilogy while setting up for the next one. Aside from the h's very convoluted family situation, not a whole lot happens. Which makes this a mostly an average HP outing.

An extremely sweet love story of blooming love between neighbors. We have our H Jordan, the only unmarried Hunter, who is also the youngest and the most charming. The h is "Stazy", an interior designer with her own set of secrets.

Low on angst and drama, but high on revelations, we have likable characters falling in love in this dramatic love story with much of dysfunctional families. The H falls for the h early on, and the rest is him just finding out stuff about her. I really liked everyone, but the story had something missing again. But if Nik, Rik and Zak have their stories, wouldn't mind reading them!
