When she’s invited to her brothers’ weddings, she refuses at first, then changes her mind and attends without telling anyone. She won’t let herself love them, but she can’t stay away. It’s a recipe for disappointment and heartbreak.
Especially when she throws herself at her brother’s best friend, Kane.

Book Review
When Gigi decides to attend her brothers' wedding incognito, she is forced with this feeling of loneliness. She is about to have a pity party on the beach at the sides of the party when Kane finds her. He's already a little smitten by the sexy Italian he saw earlier in charge of the party arrangements, but when he sees the sadness in her eyes, he is drawn by something more. Only trouble is, she's much too young. He walks away that night, but try as he will he can't forget her.
Years later when he discovers that Gigi is Gio's little sister he knows he should not go anywhere near her considering the Bro Code. Unfortunately the old attraction is still very much there, stronger than before. They go through their ups and downs and as is true of all good romance novels finally resolve their issues and get together. I loved the scene where Gio's wife locks her husband and Kane out of Gigi's apartment when both of them start a pissing match. It was so funny! All in all, fun read, good time pass, specially if you have been reading the full series.

When he heads to Ohio to attend a funeral, he does so with the intention of taking time off to clear his head. The very last thing he expects to do is meet a woman.

She finally has something she’s afraid to lose. They couldn’t have met at a worse time. Luke and Cassie are about to discover love often happens somewhere along the way, and usually, when one least expects it.
Book Review
Of all the Andrade brothers I have always found that I identified most with Luke, the peacemaker. The story of his love is different from the opulent billionaire settings of his brothers and works really well for him. The way the brothers bond over the series is brought out beautifully in this book, as is Luke's hesitation to involve Cassie in his life and troubles.
Author Ruth Cardello takes the mundane and makes it magical once again. Its a great book to be swept away with romance and fold your laundry with. :) Yes its not great literature or a classic book, but it helps bring a smile to your face during your busy day. I would love to see Gigi join her brothers on the island in her home. I guess that's the next book.

Book Review
After the death of their father, Gio went into business mode and Nick went into playboy mode. It was easier to forget all about their messed up family when he was drinking and partying hard with his group of globe trotting friends. Who would ever love this wreck of a man anyway, is what he told himself to justify his fast paced adventures, till childhood friend Rena caught up with him.
Rena knows that Nick is a playboy who does not believe in commitment, but she is so attracted to him. Her solution is to have mind blowing sex with him for one day in a week and keep the rest of their lives apart. Naturally the whole plot to keep her heart safe and engaged elsewhere does not work and now she's facing heart break, because she's in love with a man who can never love her back, or can he?
