MY REVIEW:

     This story is about two sisters Samantha and Gabby.  Samantha is the eldest and the one becoming a doctor.  Gabby is married now to the wealthy Bradley Banks and she is in college.  Both girls came from a tough background.  You see their father was a drunk who had hit rock bottom to the point where he had struck Gabby.

     Being the good mother she was when she walked in from coming the grocery store to see her husband striking Gabby she took the girls and left him never to return.  When their mom dies of cancer when they were both still in high school Sam took up the mom role because it was only the two of them against the world.  Gabby had a boyfriend who had become abusive and that didn’t sit well she met Bradley at Cade’s wedding and it was love at first dance but when he saved her from Ian her life began and now they are happily married a year now.

     Through Bradley, Sam met two brothers, Joe and Ryan.  Ryan and she seemed to have more in common because they were both becoming doctors.  He does and says all the right things until Joe declares how much he wants her.  She tries to put him off calling it just brother rivalry or one-upmanship but she just doesn’t feel the passion Joe makes her feel on sight.  Yet, his words light up her insides all the way to her feminine core.  She finds herself thinking of Joe when she’s not with Ryan his brother.

     For the holidays Bradley wants to surprise her sister with a trip to where they met.  But he wants to make it a family tradition and wants her and Ryan to share the experience.  She is excited by the trip because she and Ryan are due, though she is so tired from working long hours at the hospital, it will be nice since her and Ryan keep missing like ships in the night.  Plus with the whole Joe thing it will reestablish her connection with the right brother for sure.

     When she and Ryan arrive at Gabby and Bradley’s not only is Joe there but he’s brought a date.  She is model perfect and not only that Ryan knows her too and the connection seems more that just in passing…Now her mind is wondering if he has had her too?  Finding out more about her doesn’t put her at all at ease.  When the overnight tradition ends they have all found out things about themselves and one another they may not have wanted to know.  Now decisions need to be made about the brothers.  Some of the things she learned are deal breakers, some are heart breaking, and others sexy as hell.  So, what should Sam do?  Can her decision cause an effect that changes all their lives forever?  Will it be worth the effects in the end or will she end up losing all the men in her life she ever loved?

     As for Gabby and Bradley they were able to make peace with Ian and Veronica.  The way it all comes about is not the way anyone would have wanted it to be.  Yet, putting the past behind them bringing only the best to their new family that they opened their lives and their home too.  Would her mom understand that her promise was not forgotten that it was completed but in a way she could never have imagined?

     I really enjoyed the characters in this story.  The love triangle between the two brothers loving the same woman was an interesting one.  Yet, the family saga that unfolds as the affair of the heart is revealed is beyond crazy and interesting.  Of course loving family sagas this met all the needs: funny, love story, anger, fear, sadness, and so much more.  I give this 5 stars.  Provided by netgalley.com.  Follow us at:
