Fun and sexy story. I liked both MCs, even though sometimes I wish it had been dual POV (I do understand why that wouldn't have completely worked though).
The drama was very low-key, and it got solved quite well, if a tiny bit too fast.
I loved the family dynamics too! The supporting characters were super fun to read about.
Can't wait for the next one!

4,5 stars Trey and David
That was a wonderful read! Everything in it. Love, fight, trust, distrust, a lot of sex, dominance, family, friends, holidays...
When Trey sees David for the first time he thinks he is hot, but very arrogant. They meet again at a event Trey organized, and David works as the security guy.
They fight for dominance but David is a natural one and Trey less.
There is a lot of miscommunication and feelings are all over.
They both only want a friends with benefits relationship until it is more....and then Trey is confronted with his greatest issue and trauma....trust.....
All family and friends have a great part in this story. Trey and David both strong and stubborn men are working hard for their future.
Written in a very appealing way. The feelings at the right place....and there were a lot of them.
A reasonable amount of detail which was al very entertaining, a good developing and last but not least....Hot and very steamy !!
Can't wait till early 2018 for Henry and Ryan's story!!

I was gifted a copy of this book from the author through the M/M Romance Good Reads group's, DBML program.
I'm sorry to say that there was very little about this story that I liked, except that it is not riddled with errors like so many books recently that I've read. Sadly, there were just too many things that I did not like which I made note of that I will list below...
In the first 1% of the book we're told.....
Brother Henry is 27 years old, 6ft 2in, fair skinned,blue eyes, buzz cut red hair, beard, looks like their father. At 2% we're told he's gay and a top. Have matching pride tattoos. Fitness trainer.
Step-brother Travis in 29 years old, 6ft 4in, blond, hazel eyes, wide shoulders. At 2% we're told he's bi and a switch. Have matching pride tattoos. Fitness trainer.
Our as yet un-named narrator is 25, 6ft, greyish-blue eyes, fair skin, sandy brown, wavy hair. At 2% we're told he's gay and a bottom. Have matching pride tattoos. We also finally learn his name is Trey at 2%. Event planner. Then at 29% we're told he's 26.
Patrick - their abusive biological father
Alice- Mum, divorced their father when they were aged 6 & 8.
Steven Bromley- step-dad.
Further notes....
Way too many un-necessary details about things and places with way too little actual, engaging story line.
I found it very odd that he's an events coordinator yet other than one party he appears to work Monday through Friday daytime hours.
As well as many contradictory things said. One example: he goes from trying to punch him, telling him off then inviting him inside.
Time jumps....
"The weekend is spent relaxing at home."
"The rest of the weekend passes by all too quickly as usual. On the following Thursday"...
and a statement that I found just ridiculous....
"With only a few years age difference between us, we all get along with the same people."
Seriously?! Age does NOT factor into who you get along with and who you don't!
SMH....
I stopped taking notes after filling two pages of handwritten notes.
Needless to say that this just wasn't the book for me and honestly I would've set it aside about half way through except that I had obligated myself to give an honest review. I give it 1.5 stars because I did like Trey and his brothers and even though I was never convinced to care about any of the characters I didn't absolutely hate it either.

This story is told from Trey’s POV…Trey, I thought was a little rude in the beginning and way over the top. So, you see a guy at a club and he doesn’t talk to you and you flip out? Yeah, he’s the rude one. He seemed to fly off the handle at the silliest things and it took me a while to get over the immaturity of it. I mean, I get it, the reasons why he’d be hesitant to trust….but I dunno, he acted a little psycho…
So, after a silly, over reaction at the club that ended with a kiss… Trey is surprised to see the man again when he hired him for security for an engagement party he was planning. He acted a little uppity then too and I really wanted to be like….dude, he’s not the one with the problem! Take down the tude, dude!
Now, David… I loved David…he was a little hot and then cold in the beginning, but considering he was trying to figure everything out for himself, I could understand that too. He seemed to be patient and understanding, because after that call and text from Trey over Trey’s brother Henry’s birthday party? I’d have ghosted his crazy behind. But…. The casual relationship they found themselves in had already been not so casual and neither of them wanted to let the other go…. It was a bit of a rocky few days, that seemed like it went on for months instead of only days…. But, I was glad when they finally worked everything out. Trey grew on me and I liked that David, even though he was unsure in the beginning, he didn’t hide his attraction or later on his relationship… that couldn’t have been easy.
I loved Trey’s brothers, they seemed more down to earth and not as high strung as Trey… I have a feeling their books are going to be fun ones, but I’m not sure if I’ll jump into them as I’m pretty sure Henry’s going to be a little D/s trope and that just isn’t my thing. The dirty talk though? David was very good at it, I can imagine his friend Ryan and Henry will be just the same. We shall see…maybe I’ll give it a go… I am a big sucker for a HEA…
Overall though, it was a very sweet story and I’m glad I gave it a go!'
4 stars from me!

I can't express how disappointed and annoyed I am.
This book was fast paced but the story was just irritating and boring. This is a book about brothers (2 gays + one bisexual) and a bisexual David. They are all ADULTS, but Trey and David definitely doesn't act like ones.
First of all, all of this is highly unbelievable and predictable (meeting at the gay club and then later, all those stupid pick up lines, Trey's drunk conversations) and after a while it is difficult to read.
Then, I disliked both MCs. They are both childish and plastic. Trey is a successful event planner but he is chaotic, irresponsible (this whole thing with breaking up was horrible) and acts like a teenage girl with a crush. There is also no character's development.
The writing style - it is not bad, but it didn't keep me entertained, I wasn't curious because I already knew everything. It was repetitive (and honestly one more "my lover" and I'm gonna hit someone).
To sum up, this is not VERY bad, but this is nauseatingly sweet, terribly predictable (including sex), not funny at all, sex scenes are just like every scene in my mum's Harlequin's book (with some spanking) and I am really happy I do not have to read this again.

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.25 stars
This story is told in first person narration through Trey’s eyes, so you get to know him fairly well by the end of the book. The things to know about Trey: Trey is gay. You get the feeling he’s known for a long time who he is and what he wants and is neither ashamed of it, nor militant about it. He has a flag tattoo, occasionally wears makeup, and likes to flirt.
David, however, is bisexual and has only lately come to the realization that he is interested in men as well as women. He has also only recently ended his relationship with his girlfriend and has chosen Trey to be his first. His first gay sexual encounter and his first gay relationship. Trey has some issues with this since his ex was also bisexual and he treated Trey like a dirty secret, never openly acknowledging their relationship and being quite open with his girlfriend, even as he was sleeping every now and then with Trey. The idea of being with another man who is using Trey to explore his gay side has Trey a bit nervous, but he’s willing to take that chance. However, when it seems like Trey is out with a woman, it brings every fear, every insecurity, and every bit of rage to the forefront.
There are honest moments of anger and hurt and confusion in this book, especially with these issues of trust… but they’re all wrapped up so nicely and neatly in a bow, and so swiftly, that the characters never had the chance to actually deal with the issues that were raised. There was never a chance for them to develop the relationship. It was meet, kiss, into bed, and then striding confidently into the future. Trey’s trust issues are glossed over and David goes so quickly from his past relationship into his new gay life with Trey without a second thought. It feels a little as if, in the hustle and bustle of writing the story, the characters got left behind.

A great story about a family of with boys who are all gay or bi, and their search for love. Trey meets David at a club, David is the sexy security guard. they later meet up when it's suggested Trey hire David to work his event as security. Sparks fly when David reveals he's Bi and into men. Trey is leary to say the least, as his past experiences have jaded him. Hot and Heavy bedroom scenes. Laugh out loud funny moments. this is a good read.

The Bromley brothers are a hoot and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the brothers fare in the romance department. They truly are a family. In this fun endearing story we have Trey get his man. It was a tough journey for this romance though and wasn’t always easy going.
Trey had some trust issues after his idiot of an ex messed with his head. That guy deserved what Trey’s brother did truly he did. So it took Trey alot of time to trust David. He was almost to late in seeing what he had. Other than the trsut issues, Trey was a great character. I loved the Harry Potter marathon to make you feel better deal.
David is a good strong character. He was learning who he was attracted to and Trey is it. From the moment he say Trey he was flummoxed. His attraction frustrated him but also intrigued him.
These two you will fall in love with. they start out exploring the attraction and giving us sizzling moments. Over time their attraction becomes more and fear does cause a moment of friction. David is new to feelings for a man and he deals better with wanting more than Trey does. When something happens and David is unable to keep a commitment is when things go downhill. Trey does some stupid things and afterwards regrets them. It is during this time that they are apart that we see them grow more and mature. Trey learns more about himself and David sees that he needs Trey to feel whole. They learn to communicate and slowly work on trust once again.
This is a endearing fun and sweet romance that has you smile and laugh at the drunk dials and Trey’s infectious ways but also his brothers and their antics. A story of family, love and friendship. Of trust and learning to trust. One that warms the heart and leaves you wanting more of these characters.

Trusting Him (Bromley Brothers Book 1)
By: Laura N. Andrews
5 out of 5 stars
The story Trusting Him (Bromley Brothers Book 1) by Laura N. Andrews is a wonderful book. This is a story that I loved reading. It had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I love the characters of Trey Bromley and David Rossi. I loved reading how these two interact. The relationship that they find themselves in is very passionate and steamy. Trey is a very successful co-owner of a business where he is an events coordinator. He is confident when working and it shows by how his clients are satisfied and book more events with him. Trey’s personal life, however, is a bit different. He is confident in who his is however has issues with trust because of past relationships. He is finding himself falling for David, a security guard he has met, and he soon finds himself going from something casual to a relationship. David is also a successful business owner. He is someone that is just discovering that he has certain preferences in his love life and is in a discovery mode. He finds himself falling hard and fast for Trey. David and Trey find that they have amazing chemistry together and also that their feelings for each other are only getting deeper. Trey gives into David and takes on the status of his boyfriend. These two have a wonderful relationship. When an issue of trust occurs, will they be able to work their way through or will they find themselves walking away from each other? There are other characters that are introduced in this book and they mostly are the family and friends of David and Trey. I enjoyed reading about them as well. This is a wonderful love story and when reading I wanted Trey and David to find happiness together. This story is full of scenes of love and friendship. It also shows the importance of communication and not jumping to conclusions. The path to true love is not always smooth. Read to find out how this love story turns out. There is adult language in the form of dirty talking between David and Trey as well as adult situations which include scenes that are very steamy. This book would be for those 18 years of age or older.

*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review through the MMRG DBML program*
Synopsis: Trey is co-owner of an events planning business. One night, while he and his brothers are out at a club, he sees a gorgeous man working security, and tries to strike up a conversation. The man shuts him down, and later that night, after Trey has had more to drink, his bravery/stupidity gets up, and he accuses the man of being homophobic. The man kisses him, and then walks away.
The next week at work, Trey needs someone to work security for an event after whomever he had booked falls through, and gets hooked up with David through his brothers. When it turns out that David is indeed the man that kissed him in the club, Trey isn't exactly sure how things will work between them. They do the function, and then David goes home with him, which Trey is fine with, thinking it will be a one off. When David contacts him again, Trey agrees to see him, and they set parameters for their relationship.
What I liked: I liked that Trey had a fairly tight knit group around him, and that they were all friends with each other. I liked the dichotomy of the two personalities: one would assume that Trey, who is fun loving and fairly casual to be sort of a slob, and David, who comes across as an uptight person, to be obsessive in cleanliness, but it was fun to see that the opposite was true.
What I didn't like: the name David Rossi; just because I kept seeing Joe Mantegna from Criminal Minds, which is not necessarily the image you want in a romantic hero. I also didn't really like how immature Trey acted. You don't just end a relationship without at least talking to the person. Well, an adult doesn't, anyway. Also, Trey should never be allowed to drink, as he didn't seem to make good choices when he did so. I also couldn't really feel the connection between Trey and David, which was kind of the point. I felt the connection between Trey and his brothers, and Trey and his best friend, even in just a few sentences, so I'm not entirely sure why I felt that the romantic relationship was lacking.
Overall impression: Trey was too immature for me, with a lot of "c'mere, c'mere, getaway, getaway" and making everything about himself, even when he was supposedly there to support David. However, just because I didn't relate to a character doesn't mean that I didn't like the story, which I did, because it was well written and edited. I'm looking forward to the next story in the series.

Trusting Him (Bromley Brothers Book 1) by Laura N. Andrews is a M/M romance that you won't be able to put down. This is the first book in this series and I can't wait for the next one! I loved this book! This is my first book by this author and I loved how she was able to pull me in from the first word until the very end. Her writing style and creative details just pulled me right the story and I felt like I was right there. Her characters are creative, connectable, lovable and true to life. They will take you on a roller coaster ride of various emotions from laughter to compassion. This book made me even cry a little bit. This is the story of Trey and David. Tray is an event coordinator that lives with his two brothers. He has had a bad history with relationships which has caused him to be cautious. David owns his own security company and has just recently discovered that he is bisexual. They meet at a night club one night and there is no doubt the attraction for each other is there. Trey is in need of last minute security for an event. What will happen when his brother recommends David and they come face to face again? What will happen when they both agree to keep things casual? Will fate step in? I loved both of these characters. Trey has some issues that he just needs to deal with. David just needs to figure out what he wants. Will the issues these two have hurt their chances for a HEA? In the beginning David is so cold but when he heats up, WOW! You don't want to miss this book! The secondary characters will make you laugh and you will love them just as much. They are supportive and really help make the story flow. I don't want to say to much as it will give away the book but it is a must a read. I can't wait to see who gets their own book next! I highly recommend this book as I know you will want to see what happens when an event coordinator meets security and the rules that they break!

Trusting Him by Laura N. Andrews is an amazing m/m romance novel that I just couldn’t put down. I loved the way that the two main characters meshed so well together, the one clearly needing the other and vise versa. It is the kind of love we all hope for in a relationship, pure vulnerability without getting hurt. It can be hard to trust your partner when you enter into a serious relationship like theirs, but in the end it is totally worth it.
Trey is a co-owner of an event coordinating business. He, like his 2 brothers, are already out as gay. All 3 of them live together and spend a lot of time with each other. They go to one of their favorite gay friendly clubs one Friday evening where Trey locks eyes with a new bouncer. He cannot help but feel like he is being watched the entire night. At an attempt to be friendly, Trey approaches the new hunk of a bouncer with little luck, the guy is a total cold jerk. Towards the end of the night, after Trey has some more liquid courage in him, he decides to approach the bouncer again as he was leaving. Much to his surprise, the bouncer pulls him behind a closed door and kisses him.
An issue arises at Trey’s job leaving him without security for a private engagement party he is planning. One of Trey’s brothers offers up the contact information for a regular at the gym he works at. What do you know, the new guy that Trey hires for his party is in fact the bouncer from the club who kissed him, David.
As the story goes on we find out that David, who just got out of a relationship, identifies as bisexual. Trey is hesitant to get into a serious relationship with someone who is newly bi because of past experiences. The novel goes on the bumpy roller coaster that is a new relationship as Trey and David discover and explore deep feelings they have for each other.
Laura N. Andrews did a wonderful job of developing each character to be their own unique person. The way she described the bond between Trey and David was beautiful. I was able to identify with each emotion that was being explained throughout the story. Each fight, each kiss, each embrace, it was like I was experiencing it myself. I cannot wait for the next installment of the Bromley Brothers series.

“The best proof of love is trust.” ~Dr. Joyce Brothers
Okay, I will just start off my review of this book by saying that I absolutely loved this, I was laughing out loud so much and found myself saying at the end of it that this was one of those books that I just desperately needed in my life! We all need to take some time and have the fairytale book, with characters like Henry, Travis, Trey, and David. (As well as all the other fun supportive characters that are in here.) This is book one in the series and I am dying for the next one to be in my hands and read what comes next for these guys.
With that said, this book mostly follows the love, at times love hate, relationship of Trey and David. Trey co-owns an event planning service that thrusts a broody yet sexy body guard into his life that he was hoping to avoid after an interaction in a nightclub that he and his brothers frequent. What follows is an emotional and raw up and down story of finding love in a world where it is still sadly not really accepted widly that love is love. Sometimes that can be the biggest obstacle to deal with just for one person let alone two people who want to find love.
I loved how the author wrote with abandon. This was never written like a warrior book, rather an everyday love story with its own complications, because it IS ONE. What a beautiful thing she has done.
Will Trey be able to understand that this is all still so new for David and sometimes we act out when we don’t quite know what it is we are doing at first? Will David realize what he haves before it is too late? I promise that you will be pulling for these two and cheering for them through the tears you didn’t know where coming down your face, and the next you will laugh so hard you will know for sure you are crying. Hands down five star read here!

This reallywas a good book with a little drama and a lot of lovin. I was skeptical at first for some reason, not sure why, but by the time I was into the second chapter I was hooked.
Tr y is not someone who trusts easily. With good reason. He has been cheated on in the past and with a woman too. So dating a bisexual man is not something that Trey thought he would find himself doing again. But life has a way of laughing in your face when you think one thing only to find yourself doing another. That is exactly what happened to Trey.
When David meets Trey, he is blown away by him. But in all honesty he does not really know how to approach him and the immediate feelings he has for him. See David has recently Only admitted he is bisexual so it is really new to David. Even though he has very little experience he knows that Trey is someone special.
Now he question is where do they go from here? Can a man that does not generally trust anyone, especially with his heart and a man that is new to the bisexual scene make a go at a relationship together? If so what type of relationship can they have together? Can they really last if they do this or is it destined to end badly?
This was a great read. Staying with the whole honesty theme, I can not wait to read Trey's brother Henry's story. The ending of this book is pretty well the beginning of his book and if the way this one ended is anything to go by then it is going to be an incredible read.

Trusting Him by Laura N. Andrews is everything I ever wanted in a m/m romance. The characters worked perfectly together and the story line was great! 5 out of 5 stars!
I loved the characters of Trey and David. Trey has a tendency to not trust others due to the way he was treated by previous lovers. David, I feel, in the beginning didn’t really want to put a label on himself and kind of shied away from his feelings. Their relationship starts off as just friends with benefits but, I could tell they would end up together because they both wanted to solely only see each other while they were dancing around their feelings.
When Trey sees David with another woman and freaks out, that whole scene had my heart breaking for him. I was so upset to learn why David was actually with the woman Trey sees him with. Their relationship goes downhill from there and just tore me up. They finally talk out what happened after Trey ignores David for a week or so. I love that David was tired of Trey’s BS and stormed into his workplace to finally get his feelings out. Trey finally explains why he acted the way he did, and his trust issues to David and it is smooth sailing after that.
Overall this book was just a perfect and quick read. The secondary characters also seem like they have stories and I can’t wait to read how this author brings their stories to surface. This is such an awesome book for any romance lover, especially m/m, I would definitely only recommend to 18+ readers.

I am rating “Trusting Him” by Laura N. Andrews a five out of five stars. I could not put this book down until I finished. I loved how the author was able to incorporate modern day views into a genre that had not originally consisted mostly of romance between people of the opposite gender. I was immediately hooked at the beginning of the story and became so involved with the story that I cried at the sad parts and rejoiced at the happy parts. I really enjoyed the whole storyline of the book.
The author did an excellent job making the characters relatable to the reader. She also did an excellent job describing the characters in such a way that the reader is able to visualize the story and get lost in it. The characters feel so real to me as I read the story. It made me feel more connected to the story.
The flow of the entire story was perfect. Everything was intertwined and connected so many different points throughout the entire story. The author did a great job answering any questions that came up throughout the story without using too many words. You could read the story without feeling too overwhelmed by the words.
I cannot wait to read the next book of the series by the author. She is an excellent writer and I love what she writes about. Her style of writing is one of my favorites and I cannot wait to read more of her books.

Trusting Him (Bromley Brothers #1) by Laura N. Andrews
Trusting Him is a 4Star MM Romance by Laura N. Andrews. It is a nice sweet romantic story with the usual misunderstandings, miscommunications and disagreements faced in all relationships. The author did a good job of describing the undeniable attraction between Trey and David as well as describing how they’re both cautious and curious of the “what ifs.” The story was cute with no major drama or stressful moments, making this a Light afternoon read with some fun steamy physical interactions thrown in.
I enjoyed this book and the characters, including the brothers, friends, and family members involved. Some of the happenings seemed a bit too “easy” which left me wishing I could’ve read more of the story, possibly even delving into David’s viewpoint and personal feelings. I feel like having more than one point of view would’ve helped connect to the characters and the story. Overall, this was a nice and pretty stress-free story of people getting to know each other while still trying to remain guarded. I would be interested in reading the next book in the series as a super hot and fun romance makes for a nice afternoon escape from stress and work filled everyday life.

Trusting Him is the first novel in the Bromley Brothers series by Laura N. Andrews. This is my first novel by this author.
Trey Bromley is the youngest of three brothers who is openly gay and proud. He goes to a club one night and meets the sexy security guard there. The security guard kisses him to make a point and then leaves, making a lasting impression on Trey.
A few days later, the two meet again when he hires him to be security guard at an event he is coordinating. We learn that his name is David Rossi.
While Trey is open about his sexuality, David, has just accepted that his interest lie with men and women. The two decide to have a friends with benefits relationship but it starts to become something more causing Trey to be unsure. After what happened with his ex, who treated him like a dirty secret, he doesn't want that to happen again, but gives it a change. That is until, Trey has to confront his biggest fear: trust.
I had to read this book after reading the premise and knowing its the start of a series. While I thought Trey overreacted to things at times, I really liked his point of view. I loved the relationship between him and his brothers.
I can't wait to read the other books in this series.

Trusting him is a steamy romance novel set in Australia. It’s a story about Trey and David and how their instant chemistry leads to a steamy relationship.
The lack of trust and communication can kill a relationship before it even starts. Trey and David have a sizzling attraction from the start. However, past experiences can lead people to act before they think and cause havoc in new relationships. Trey must work through his problems from his past and learn to trust again.
Trusting Him is the first book in the Bromley Bothers series and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the other brothers in this family. The author gives us glimpses of both Trey and David’s families and creates backstories for future books.
This book was very detailed and although I was skeptical at first, I quickly realized she was setting up the series and leading up the anticipation for the future books in the series. She was able to introduce all of the Bromley brothers and enable the readers for form bonds with them early. Great writing, a lot of humor and relatable characters were just a few of the reasons I really enjoyed this book.

The M/M Genre is one that I do enjoy reading,although it has been a while since I've had the opportunity to do so,and on reading the blurb for this story,I was interested to find out more.
So this is the first in a new series,set in Australia,following three brother's...well as it turns out two are full brothers (Henry and Trey) and an older step-brother (Travis).All of them are gay-Travis more Bisexual it seems,and they all live together.As the blurb states,Trey,the youngest out of them,is looking for someone to love and be loved by. On a night out with his brother's,he see's the guy working security in the club they are in,who later on,has a quick hot an heavy make out session with him.Following on from that brief interaction,he needs the assistance of a security guy for an event he's planning....fate lands him David (the guy from the club)..a bit awkward! With an obvious attraction,and a little match making from Henry/Travis...Trey and David go into a friends with benefits type thing....but insecurities on David's part cause some angst moments before heading to their HEA.
As far as the story goes,I did enjoy reading it...the closeness of the brother's was evident,and often there were some humorous moments between them which had me laughing out loud.There were some pretty HOT scenes between both leads,and an emotional side added,and an Epilogue that sets up for then next book(which I assume will be Henry's).
I did,however,miss a DUAL POV (I would've like more of David's side of things-(as he's just come to terms with his bi-nature)and I felt it was a bit quick towards the ending/Epilogue-that being said,I will be interested in seeing how the series develops,and hope we get more of Trey/David in them.

Trusting Him by Laura N. Andrews was a very good m/m romantic story. I have never read a book by this author before and I thought it was a wonderful and steamy love story. This book is the story of Trey and David, Trey who is a business owner,(event planning), is a very confident man and knows who he is and what he wants. He does have some issues to work out because of his past relationships that caused him to have trust issues. David who is also a very confident man, also has his own business in security. David has just recently figured out that he is bisexual and trying to figure out what he wants. When these two meet there is definitely attraction!! Can they find love? Are they able to come together even if either aren't sure they are ready for a relationship. I thought the story flowed well and I enjoyed getting to know the characters and all the emotions they take you through. The supporting characters were really good for Trey and David and I look forward to reading more about them!! This book will keep you intrigued and it definitely gets hot steamy!!! I give this book 5 out of 5 stars!!!

Trusting Him by Laura N. Andrews is the first book in her Bromley Brothers series. It follows the story of Trey, a gay event coordinator who isn’t ashamed of it but he also has some serious trust issues. Then there’s David a security guard who hasn’t known his bisexuality long. These two are drawn to each other from the very first time the meet each other. The chemistry between these two is nothing short of electric. These two take readers on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. Your heart breaks at times but the author knows just how to fix you up in the end.
While this type of book isn’t typically something I read I honestly liked this book. It was well written with good pacing and believable characters. I enjoyed watching these two go from friends with benefits to something much more important. Watching trey struggle with his own demons was both heartbreaking and rewarding when David finally got through to him. Excited to see what this author has in store for her readers next. This was a book that deserves a 4 star rating.

Will Trey and David end up as a couple? Will Trey be able to handle the let down David dishes out to him and can they get past it? What happens when Trey discovers how David really lives? You will have to read this to find out.
This M/M romance has its ups and downs just like all new relationships. Laura N Andrews has written a book that at times broke my heart and other times had me smiling. I like her writing style and am looking forward to more from this author.

Wind-blown looking man with amazing eyes! (The eyes got my attention.) The Synopsis is somewhat vague.

POV ~> First-person, Trey's perspective.
Setting ~> Australia
Trey's the youngest of the three Bromley brothers. He co-owns an Event Planning business. David is a self-employed Securities specialist for hire. They first cross paths at a club that Trey frequents, but David is working. Then Trey's brother puts them together for an event in need of security. From there, they develop a relationship.
I liked both characters just fine, but never felt the deeper connection between them as a couple. It felt fairly superficial all the way through. The secondary cast was enjoyable. Dialogue was good. Interactions were believable. The story was pleasant enough and flowed well. The conflict was minuscule but blown out of proportion. Resolution was acceptable. Predictability was low. The conclusion is solid and satisfying.
Overall, it's not a bad read. The cast was enjoyable, but the chemistry between the leads felt a bit flat.

OMG I love a good M/M book! Seriously they really are my favorite! I loved how light this book was. Normally the M/M books I read are a little heavier but this was light and I LOVED that but it still gave you all the feels!
When Trey meets David for the first time it wasn’t the best impression. He thought David was arrogant and bossy but oh so very sexy! When the meet again the sparks FLY off the page. They have a battle of dominance but man is it HOT! Trey acted a little uppity on their second meeting but it all worked out.
David…. OMG I LOVED him. In the beginning, he was a little confused so he was hot/cold but it was totally understandable. The “casual” relationship they found themselves in wasn’t so casual because they were so hooked to one another. Their connection was just so strong but it was definitely a fight which I loved!
I’m so excited for this series. I loved everything about this book and I seriously cannot wait for more. This series turned into an automatic one-click for me!

Trusting Him by Laura N. Andrews is the first book in the Bromley Brothers Series! This is my first time reading something from this author and I can guarantee it won't be the last! She created a wonderful story with great characters and an even better story line. It was an amazing 5 star read!
Trusting Him is about David and Trey, Trey Bromley is the baby of the family, he also happens to be out and very proud about it. He knows that David Rossi could break his heart, but there's something about him and Trey finds himself not being able to stay away. Only problem? David has only recently discovered he's bisexual. There's some miscommunication between them and a ton of drama, can these two work it out? Will David decide whether Trey is what he wants? Will Trey get is happily ever after?
These two went through so much and I felt all of their emotions with them. Trusting Him was incredibly well written and I can't wait to see where she takes the series next!

Trusting Him by Laura Andrews was, I am sad to say, was a lacklustre for me. There was far too much telling, especially irrelevant details, and not enough depth to the story. Trey is a up and coming event planner who unknowingly hires the object of his lust at a nightclub as security for a party. They have an odd rude first meeting but seem able to get past that quickly. They begin a serious relationship but not really since Trey doesn’t know where David lives till very late in the game. They acted more like angsty teens than grown ups for much of the story. This was entertaining enough but has many elements that irritated me. Especially letting simple misunderstandings get completely blown out of proportion seem to be a personality trait of bothe main characters. There were some well written steamy scenes to make the story interesting. I was provided a copy in exchange for an honest review.
