The Brotherhood #4
Gage's Langour: Part 1
Gage used to think that his "baby face" looks were a curse, until he realised that they allowed him to get away with a lot of things he shouldn't. He's not a great fighter like Kurt, not clever like Nick, and not compelling like Levi. In fact, he's not anything spectacular at all, and their “Little Witch” seems to agree.
Who the hell does she think she is? Walking in on his case, turning his world upside down and taking over everything. The recruits, their training, the apartment. She seems to think she’s some sort of queen, but Gage knows better.
She’s just a slut who’s slept her way into the position. He should know, because it takes one to know one, only Gage doesn’t use his sexual prowess to get him things he doesn’t deserve. Much. Not like she is. She’s going to get them killed, and she’s totally on the wrong track for solving this case.
Whatever, he doesn’t need her. Gage has his own plans, and she’s not going to screw them up.

I'm "Jade" (pen name only). I'm a stay at home mother to three gorgeous young children. I've been writing stories since I was a little girl, but I have never had the confidence to share them. Finally a friend talked me into publishing something, so, "Siren" was born.
I ask you to be kind in your reviews. I know that you may not like what I write, but it doesn't mean that you have to be nasty about it. I don't understand people who feel the need to do that. My books cost less than a cup of coffee. If you didn't like the coffee, would you abuse the person who served you?

Another amazing addition to this series! I always try to prepare myself for the worst with these Brotherhood men, but they just keep getting worse with their attitudes as each new member is introduced. But I will say, I always look forward to Grace and her reactions to how they treat her. I love seeing her put them in their place whenever they underestimate her or don't pull their own weight. Gage was no different than how the other men were when they first met her, maybe even worse than the others. Probably why the man needs two books for his portion of the story. I'm really looking forward to seeing it all pan out in the second Gage book.
The other guys, though, have been amazing to read about. You can see such a difference in Kurt, Levi, and Nick as they get more familiar with Grace and bond with her, see how she affects them and makes them work towards being a better person. Their walls are slowly breaking down and it's nice to see more sensitive sides to them. Nick really surprised me in this one. He made a complete 180 compared to the previous book and how he viewed his life.
I was excited to see that we got even more pieces to the Grace puzzle with this book. Huge things are revealed although I'm sure many readers are questioning how some of them didn't put two and two together--at least to get some of the details. Like those "dreams" they each had during Christmas. Never spoke to each other about them, but they could have helped them find things out much earlier. It's a journey though. They'll find everything out in their own time. It's just another thing to look forward to with this series, even if we guess things before they happen, we're still eager for the characters to get to the same point. Can't wait for the release of the next book to see what happens next and so Gage can get the wake up call that he desperately needs.

nope nope nope 3.5
Throw Gage off a cliff... I don't see redeemable qualities. I have yet to dislike a guy like him in this series. Even Nick with his Doucheness didn't rub me this badly. Nope nope nope nope... He should be Grace's next batch. *le sigh*
Arrgghhh those females.... they know more of the bigger picture, I know it. And oy! is the little hint they gave a real one or a fake one?
I need part 2 like last year because... that ending just left me wanting to jump into the book to kick some ass. *throws small tantrum* "I don't want to wait for the rest of the story" 😫😫
It feels weird not seeing much of Levi & Kurt in the story. But those little clips of what's going on in LA makes it so much more nerve racking for the next books. We do have Sloth, Greed, Lust, & Gluttony. (well half of sloth, me thinks, since we keep being told sam will be lust by the guys, and by the glimpse of LA, I'm thinking they're Greed.)
Nick, nick, Nick, nick, Nick...Keep on with that charm. I am enjoying this uninfluenced Nick.
Overall, I don't know if its because this is technically only half of the story... but compared to the previous books it was meh... (that doesn't mean it was bad, because it wasn't) It still had me trying to fit puzzle pieces into places and yelling frustrated when it didn't look like the puzzle matched. Holding my breath to see if any redeeming qualities are hiding under rocks for the remaining men of the brotherhood.
ps... trying to figure out Grace's final harem is throwing a girl for a loop! That bear!
pps.... love te changes that Grace's new pov is giving the brotherhood. They've been too stuck in their ways.
🙈🙈🙊🙊💀🤔🙃🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤪

I love this series, however this books spotlight character is a total cry baby. Gage is is a petulant child and needs a serious timeout.
That being said I am enjoying reading the growth of Grace, Nick and Able's relationships; Grace seems to inspire these men to be more open and accepting of what is not the norm. She helps them to get over their personal hurdles and supports their growth and in turn they support her fully.
I can't wait to read Gage's betrayal to the Brotherhood the response it will receive.

Wow!
And I thought Nick couldn't be beat on the d-bag scale! Gage is a piece of work! I gagged twice during this book: during the toothbrush scene, and anytime Gage opened his mouth. I'm pretty sure I saw my brain a couple times from rolling my eyes so hard.
On a positive note, Nick has redeemed himself to me. What a sweetie! And Abel? Can he get hotter?! Damn!
There were so many steamy moments in this book, and my heart needed it.

The only downside about this series so far is that this book finishes with a mild cliffhanger, and the next one's not finished yet. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a stinker of a book hangover now...

This was really hard to get through despite it being almost only half as long as the other stories. The plot was that made me want to rush to the end of the previous books. Now that plot just became almost non-existent. Instead we get the very worst of reverse harem; Grace the saint that everyone either loves, or hates because they don't know yet that they are going to love her. She is tiny, she is beautiful, she is strong, she is a goddess, she can have anyone. All the guys want her. Even those who hate her. Everyone who is not on her side behaves like the scum of the Earth but she is so fucking perfect that she helps them even when they are mean to her...
No Kurt or Levi in this one, so yeah, other strike. Instead we have Nick, who wants to be a better man, Abel, who has a personality of a horny chihuahua, and Gage the 5 year old man whore. Aaand we still get some gag inducing heart to hearts that somehow make Grace horny? Crying man are so sexy... Also who would call a random stranger sweety and honey?
I really hope it gets better, otherwise I'll just have to give up on this series.
Question: has there been a series that Jade Thorn actually finished?

Gage
It's amazing how much I hate these men before they decide they were completely wrong and earn Grace's forgiveness. Gage is a total .... ugh. I just hate him, self centered, immature, steam rolls anyone to get what he wants, petulant, sulky, clueless, lazy, man whore. Each time we meet a new elite he is worse than the last one. Nick finally sees the light and apologises, Abel is making in roads. Gage is so immature -- he will need to feel some real pain before I think he has been punished enough to reform. Grace is too quick to forgive these witches! Eager to meet the next misogynist elite -- and feel all my anger at his numerous sinful attributes. I hope they gave him at least one redeeming quality... hard to root for their success when I hate them so thoroughly. Lol.

The book itself is good
Honestly the steam the growth everyone goes through is amazing.... My only issue really is the repetitive nature of the books. I've only read five of them but each book honestly was the same as the ones before it with basic detail changes but the core of it the same. The behaviors the same. And the people the same just with small differences. I know that the theme is based prolly of the theory but my lord! I feel like I can guess how the rest of the books would go just need to know their sins and boom the books are known. 😪 I will say that the execution of this bully rh pans out as good, but would I spend money on it or read it again 😬 no.

This book had me hooked from the very beginning and there was no putting it down until the very last page was read. It moves along at a pace which is neither too fast nor too slow which makes for an enjoyable read. the characters are so real that you feel as though you know them and no matter what you cant help but fall in love with them and the story will keep you reading till the end and then you are needing more. This is a must read, no doubt about it.

Wow! This is an awesome part 1 of Gage’s story. Gage is gonna be a tough nut to crack, he is such an immense jerk! That being said, lol, I loved this book! Grace is such a fantastic FMC, I love her. I also love Nick and Abel, as well as the rest of the guys. Oh, and Seth, he stole my heart! I cannot wait for part 2, I’m so excited to see what happens next!
February 7, 2021
Why oh why
This is part 1 and I really want to strangle Gage. I really love the dynamic between Nick, Adel and Grace. Grace is showing us what a true elite she is. I hope with all hope that she's able to figure out Gabe's issues and deals before they hurt her. Can't wait for part 2.

If you thought Nick was bad...just wait until you meet Gage. This is part 1 of 2, SO THERE IS A CLIFFHANGER!
Gage is another Elite, but he has a frat boy mentality and suffers from Peter Pan syndrome.
We meet more members of the company (BEWARE OF MATING SEASON)
Old acquaintances get promoted and show why you should always listen to Grace.

Excellent series!
I love these characters, and hate that I have to wait until 2022 for the next book!
Grace, and the guys are terrific. I can't wait to find out who she's bonds with next.
It'll be interesting to see in Gage can redeem himself. Or if Grace gives Nick a chance. Can't wait for book 6!

Action Packed
This was a great continuation of Grace’s story with the Brotherhood. It is action packed from the beginning to the end. The cliffhanger really does leave you wanting more. I can’t wait for the next book.

fabulous!! ... Gage might be my new favorite (don't tell Nick!) ... cannot wait until the next!!
February 10, 2021
Such a good book, I really enjoy reading this series and each book just gets better and better!
May 27, 2024
Loving this series but cannot seem to find the rest of the series. Are we still up to Gage’s Languor?
January 23, 2022
The next installment...Grace and the guys get split up to help with the fight, Elliot believing they are a distraction to each other.
This book shows a whole new side to Nick, which was great after his previous attitude.
We also meet Gage, hmmmm, he makes Nick's behaviour look like nothing, but oh how I loved how Grace deals with him! Far more entertaining than she was with Nick.
More was revealed about Grace's powers, and there will be even more to come.
Then the ending, I can see more trouble heading towards the elites and it won't be an easy fight.

Another fantastic read written by Jade Thorn!! Levi is a character that I want to hate but can’t.... not knowing how the previous books went in this series. However, I will side with Grace with her sucker punch. This is a face paced read and I cannot wait for part two to be released! If you are into magic this book is sure to leave you spellbound until you finish it!!
February 14, 2021
Ok. I finally found a character of Jade's that I don't like. I even did ok with Nick in the last book but I just really want to throat punch Gage. Seriously, here's hoping he redeems himself in the next book.
I still love this series. The FMC is one of my favorites. She's so dang strong and takes no prisoners. I have a slight girl crush on her. I can't wait to see what unfolds next.
