Hawthorne Brothers: The Complete Collection

Hawthorne Brothers #1-3

by M.L. Young

This is the complete trilogy at a discounted price. Each standalone novel is non-cliffhanger HEA. Bentley Hawthorne and his brothers ruled our high school—and my fantasies—years ago. I thought I moved on from that crush when I graduated, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. There’s something dangerous about a Hawthorne boy, and the most dangerous one is Bentley. He’s tattooed, has slicked-back hair, and can make any woman’s engine purr like a kitten. He’s wrong for me in every way, but sometimes it’s better to be wrong than right. I’m just a shy, introverted girl trying to get through college who’s dreamed of being with Bentley Hawthorne since I first laid eyes on him in high school. I know I shouldn’t have these feelings, but when my car broke down on the side of the road late one night and he was there to save the day, how could I keep away? Cash Hawthorne knows what he wants, and it isn’t the women who keep throwing themselves at him. Being a newly minted movie star is a pretty sweet gig, but it has a big drawback—finding someone who wants the real him, not his fame and fortune. This Hawthorne brother just might have found his match in sassy college student Jenna Hughes. . . if only Jenna was interested. But Jenna’s seen it all before and she’s not about to fall for some Hollywood hottie. She may want love, but she knows what guys are like. A rich, famous movie star—even one as drop-dead gorgeous as Cash—can’t be a good bet. Or can he? Cash is persistent, and every time he’s near, the sizzle between them is impossible to ignore. Giving in is so easy, and feels so, so good. . . until Cash gets the call that could put an end to the fragile something they share. Could this be love—the real thing? With his career on the line, Cash and Jenna have to the opportunity for Cash to be a bona fide superstar, or giving their future a chance. Jessica Altman has been hurt before. An undergrad studying in New York City, she’s always been the great girlfriend who’s been hurt and cheated on by men who don’t appreciate her. She never thought she’d meet the man of her dreams while working at a small café to put herself through school—especially while sweating through a busy shift. The baby of the Hawthorne family, Liam Hawthorne has never been one to back down from a challenge. An MMA fighter, Liam fights for a living—and wins. One day after practice he decides to take up an offer for cheap coffee in a café, and when he meets Jessica, he’s immediately smitten. When Liam hits it big in his fighting career and a troubled person from his past returns unexpectedly, Jessica loses her confidence and wonders if their relationship will be shaken to rubble. Will Liam fight for her, or will he let her go?

I liked the three in one.

I was offered this book free in exchange for an honest review. Having said that, I obtained the book through Kindle Unlimited.
Not going to lie, I really like brother series and I liked this one. My favorite is Bentley, which I have already reviewed, but Cash and Liam are okay. The writing, as usual, moves the story along well. In Cash, though he is likable, the title character is a bit of a MarySue (you know perfect in every way, able to do anything well). Jenna, his new love is okay, too, most of the time, but sometimes she comes off self-involved and judgemental. She has apparently, seen it all, done it all and is not interested. A nice twist by the author to make a Hollywood hottie the optimistic one and the struggling ambitious object of his affections relationship phobic, at least with him. Jenna is not my favorite character.
Liam and Jessica's love story seems more reasonable to me, even though Liam is perfection, Jessica has her ducks in a row as well, emotionally. Naturally, they are both gorgeous. All three books are HEA stories-lollipops-but they have sexy times included, so be warned.

So many things annoyed me

Bentley, I didn't feel the connection with the characters and the mother unrealistic with Bentley been so "manly" I just found it wooden , I was not going to read any more but cash did get better just got fed up with reading "he said" "she said" Liam was ok just glad I finished it

Loved these books

I really liked liams story just a bit gutted it didn't continue if he won the fight or not. But coming from jes point of view was a good end. Loved cashed story about being a action movie hero and Bentley being a hard worker very good books.

Good read

This was a good story of 3 brothers, they all had their own stories to tell, the only negative was that even though the brothers linked the books the stories didn't match, the brothers mentioned each other but missed the important family events like Bentley and Anna getting engaged, the whole family would have celebrated. Also near the end off Liam's Story Bentley had got married which I thought the other couples would have attended, as in the first book Bentley took Anna to his cousins wedding. Apart from the slip ups, worth a read.

Good book. Cash and Liam were the best
