Brother Cody Garrett is former Navy SEAL and now part of an elite team only heading out on occasional missions. He’s the bad boy. Women. Body Shots. Partying. That is until Bridie Barker was accosted by his partying friends, getting her and her brother fired. He chases after her to apologize and promises to get the jobs back for her.Bridie has 4 brothers and sisters. Well, they aren’t really, the same woman adopted them all and now live together in a wonderful family unit. Bridie adores her siblings. Washington is her playa brother. He likes women that buy him things, as he can’t afford them any other way. Buster is……well there is no other way to say it but he’s just not quite right. He’s extremely loyal to his family and friends and really a big teddy bear. That is until you piss him off. Then you better back away because he is a big dangerous guy. Khatija is her sister and a major ball-buster. She’s the “mom” Bridie has never had and even though she keeps to a plan and expects you to have one to she is dedicated to her family. Lola is her sister – the sister that acts like a sister & best friend. She keeps her secrets and is fun, not like “mom” Khatija.Cody does get their jobs back and she reports to work for her next shift. She’s filling coffee for a customer and spills it all over his crisp military uniform. After what happened before Bridie really doesn’t need this to happen! The customer, Scott Garrett, brushes it off jokingly and asks for her number. Yes! Scott would be Cody’s brother!!!Scott goes on assignment before he & Bridie have anything more than a 2-hour cup of coffee. However, Cody can’t get her out of his mind. He actively pursues her, which means gaining the hard won okay from her family. Bridie soon finds that they come from very different worlds. The Garret’s are rich socialites. Once Cody’s mom, Stephanie, finds out where Bridie is from she shuns her and creates unimaginably mean, huge, life-altering problems.Bridie has to work hard at her relationship with Cody and even harder to become accepted into his family. Can she do it? Will Cody work just as hard? When a big surprise comes will Cody be there for her or will she turn to Scott? Just how far will Scott go to help her when her world falls apart?Lots of things happen in this book but it moves quickly which I really like in a book. There are absolutely wonderful characters that are funny & harsh, big & goofy, old & nosy but the one you will love hating is Stephanie. I’m sure you will love hating her as much as I did. I highly recommend this book! It’s a wonderful read. You will laugh, cry, yell at your book and wonder back and forth, as to which brother she belongs with. Sooooooo good!!!!
