My review from GuiltyPleasuresbookreviews.comI've enjoyed Anne Rainey's Blackwater series a lot but keep in mind these stories are novellas so they move at a very quick pace.  Breaking Brodix is the third book in this series.  While we've known from book one that the Jennings' brothers were foster children who were split up before the Jennings took them in and adopted them, this really came to light in this book.  I'm really glad that Anne brought this issue to the forefront.  I have several friends who have fostered and eventually adopted and I think it's wonderful that she found a way to include this in her books.Brodix is a business whiz, he has a way with numbers and has been charged with making sure the family's restaurant (turned bar and grill) is financially stable.  He's under a lot of stress and the last thing he needs is a nosey reporter, Sarah Greer, trying to un-cover some of the family's secrets.Brodix ends up spending some time with Sarah and decides that the publicity she's offering will help ensure that their grand re-opening will be a success.  But first, he must convince the rest of the family it's a good idea.  While his older brothers seem to agree, the younger twins are vehemently against it.  However, when his Mom takes an instant liking to Sarah, Brodix decides to give her an interview with restrictions.It's hard to deny the instant attraction between Brodix and Sarah and they prove it by jumping right into a sexual relationship.  When Sarah's ex-husband makes an appearance, Brodix's protective instincts really kick in and they both realize their feelings are way beyond lust.While I would have liked to see this couple have more time to get to know each other, I just have to have faith in love at first sight.  The sex scenes in this book are very hot with elements of bondage, anal sex, and a little bit of D/s play as well.  Overall, I enjoyed this installment of the Blackwater series and I look forward to the next one.
