Simran | 12 comments Hi, I would really appreciate it if somebody could remember the name of a book I read in the last five years (I don't think it was an older publication). I should warn you that my post is full of spoilers.
It is an Adult (could be NA) contemporary romance, I believe set in England. It is a love triangle between the h and two brothers. She crushes on the first one in the beginning (they date for a while, I believe) and ends up with the other one. Some details I remember:
1. She was conceived during her mother's rape. She is never really accepted by her family, especially her parents. The truth of her parenthood comes to light during a family dinner.
2. She has issues with her body (being too tall, i think). There's a scene with the first(?) brother when he asks her to sit in his lap (they are on a bus - 90% sure) and she refuses because she thinks she is too heavy
3. The first brother doesn't treat her very well. He take his ex's side over her all the time. There's one scene when the h and the ex get stuck in the rain in the middle of nowhere. The h carries the ex piggyback back to the hotel and everyone there is more concerned with ex, and the first brother even scolds the h. She goes up to her room and is really sick but the second brother takes care of her.
4. In the end both the brothers visit her and the first brother asks her to choose between them. The second brother walks out not wanting to put her through it. Then the first brother realizes that she actually loves his brother and not him. the h and second brother reconcile.
5. There is second book with the first brother. That one is set in a remote place I believe. He is on holiday trying to run away from his brother and his wife's HEA
P.S. - I might have gotten some details wrong. So if you think of a book that has a similar plot line please let me know. And thank you for the help

Nela (nelikne) | 472 comments I don't know how much it fits what you're looking for, but similar plot (even though it's YA) is The Vincent Boys followed by The Vincent Brothers by Abbi Glines. The first book is about a girl dating one brother while falling for the other one. The second is about the first brother trying to get over the girl from book one.


Simran | 12 comments Thank you Nela. But it was not The Vincent Boys. It was more Adult book, I think.

Cat  | 158 comments There are some plot points that fit with Good At Games by Jill Mansell but not all of them.

Simran | 12 comments Thank you Catherine for the suggestion, but that wasn't the book. I started reading it just to make sure it wasn't the one, but now I'm quite enjoying it.

Nela (nelikne) | 472 comments Yeah, I know it isn't what you are looking for, it was just a suggestion for something similar ;)

Thanks for the suggestion. Admittedly, I'm not much for YA or even love triangles, but this seems quite intriguing.


Simran | 12 comments I found the book. Doing the Right Thing (Mansell Brothers, #1) by Barbara Elsborg the second book is: Finding the Right One (Mansell Brothers #2) by Barbara Elsborg . Although it is much different than I expected .And I got many details. wrong. Thank you for all your help.
