Better With You - Mia is hiding behind a facade and does not let anyone in. Colton is living a lie and never gets close to anyone. But when the two meet under unlikely circumstances and end up having to work together in class, the sparks are definitely there but Mia is too afraid to let him in. Will Colton keep trying or will he once again give up? Is this shot at a HEA worth putting in the time and opening up to another person? With a beautifully written storyline and characters who are so broken you want to reach through the pages and hug them, this was a great read. Two broken souls coming together and finding true love - there is no better story.

Fighting For You - OMG - I am at a loss for how to write this review. From the Prologue to the very last page this novel was an emotional roller coaster that left me feeling like a just ran a marathon. Anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer or agrees with the statement that CANCER SUCKS needs to read this book. Jesse and Zoe at times broke my heart and at others made me sigh with relief but not before Gianna Gabriela slaughtered my heart. I cannot stress how much of a masterpiece this book was - words just cannot describe. 5 stars are simply not enough.

Falling For You - Between football, classes, work and studying, Zack cannot fit anything more in his schedule. But when he fails his biology final his coach finds him a tutor to help him pass. What should have been just one more thing for Zack to fit in his day ends up being a connection with Emma that sets his plans askew he realizes there is more to life than football. Finding true love becomes his priority. But will a secret from her family set the relationship up to fail? Or will it be just the thing that Emma and her family need? Gianna Gabriela you have done it again. From the opening pages to the very last paragraph I was hooked into this emotional roller coaster ride that I did not want to end. Your crate characters that are so honest and real you readers cannot help but fall in love with them. I cannot wait for more in this series!!

Better With You, Always - It might be short and sweet but it still packs a punch. Mia and Colton have had their ups and downs, but it is the celebration of their anniversary that makes their relationship come full circle. The reader is taken on an emotion journey of the highlights and the lowlights of their relationship as the timeline of important places and interactions plays out through the book. Simply heartwarming and touching, the perfect combination for an everlasting love. A must read!!

🖤 Better With You 🖤

Forewarning readers... once you start you won’t be able to stop!!

Gianna Gabriela has just gotten a 10.0 on the 1/4 mile with her first book ever. Better With You is about your typical hot college jock Colton and the beautiful nerdy type newbie Mia. When Mia literally runs into Colton in class she is immediately turned off, but Colton is immediately turned on. Both have been hurt by people they loved and trusted in their pasts which has left them extremely guarded. It takes one task to start taking those guards down but just like life itself they are thrown some obstacles they need to overcome. Will they do it together or alone? Will they be able to put their fears aside and be truly happy together? You will have to read to find out. This is the first book in the Second Chance Series.

You would think as you read this story that Gianna has been writing stories her whole life, but she hasn’t. Her writing had me hooked from the first page. I am looking forward to reading more books by her in the future. Congratulations Gianna on the success of your first book ever!! I am now a fan for life.

🖤 Fighting For You 🖤

This is the second book in the Bragan University Series and it’s just as good as Better With You if not better!!

Jesse is starting his internship at the hospital that holds so much pain and memories for him but when he meets one of the patients there he is a bit taken back by her beautiful, sassy self.

Zoe had it all until she got sick with ALL. She hated being sick and isolated from her family while stuck in the hospital but made the best of it. When she meets Jesse her outlook begins to change.

🖤 Falling For You 🖤

This is my favorite book in this series!!

Emma is a smart, shy, beautiful young lady. During her free time she normally has her nose in a book in her dorm room until she receives and email from her father demanding a meeting with her. Now she is forced to tutor one of his football players over Christmas break and she isn’t happy.

Zack is an all star football player at BU and hoping to be picked in the drafts so he can help his parents out financially but when he fails biology his couch gets his professor to allow him to retake his final and gets him a tutor to help him pass. But the more he is with his tutor the more he likes her and that is so not his style!!

I loved the back and forth playfulness between these two characters and it is by far my favorite in this series!! I’m looking forward to reading more of it and by Gianna Gabriela

🖤 Better With You, Always 🖤

Woohoo... we get to see all of our favorite characters from the Bragan University Series in this amazing love story about Colton and Mia. Yes, there story continues in Better With You, Always. You don’t want to miss this!!

No true words can describe how incredible this series is. And the fact they are now in a box set makes it even more amazing. Each story will pull at your emotions in a different way. The characters have so much depth to them, you can actually feel deep in your very heart and soul what they are feeling. What’s even more unreal, is that this author can take real life situations and make each character jump off the pages at you and make you feel like you are a part of their lives! As you read these stories, you will root for these characters and hope that each of their lives turns out as you envision. But, as in life, not everything goes as expected. If you want to know about the Bragan Boys and the women in their lives, then please, I beg you, read these stories and I promise you will enjoy them as much as I did.

This is a collection of stories around a university. It is how some of the most unlikely couples give into fate and work together to have a successful relationship. It doesn’t mean that there aren’t up and downs. You really feel what these people are going through. The good times, bad times even the I am so angry why don’t you do the other thing times.

Biggest perk of this collection is that there is no waiting :)

I read it for the bonus material :-)

I just finished reading this series (as much as I could anyways), so I thought I would check out the bonus prequel in this set, because Kaitlyn and Chase story has been a teaser throughout the whole series.

I can't wait to see where they end up in their own story! I'm predicting moody and angsty. Looking forward to it!

If you haven't met the Bragan Boys, what are you waiting for? These boys make you swoon and fall for them, plus who doesn't love a hot football player. Colton, Jesse, and Zack each have their own pasts and struggles, but when they meet their other halves, the girls who are amazingly strong in their own ways, all calls are off. Each story will pull you in, take you for a wonderful yet emotional journey that will make your heart happy. Read these amazing stories, you won't be disappointed!

If you are a fan of Jamie McGuire’s Walking Disaster then you will love The Bragan Boys. Comprised of 4 books that you want to read one after the other until you are left craving more.

Filled with the college lifestyle, athletic appeal, brains, brawn and beauties each story will capture your heart.
