As a reader, I'm always on the look out for something different, and Harmony Bryce provides just that in her ANTHONY BROTHERS series. She takes a multicultural approach when it comes to penning a contemporary romance. Her stories follow five adopted boys of varying race and ethnicity as they try to find love.The first installment is about Jin. He's of Asian descent and he ends up falling for Mei-Ling, a native of China. Is it coincidence or is Jin just subconsciously transferring a search for his roots onto his new fiancee? Either way, Mei-Ling's father is about to put him to the test.Growing up with Caucasian parents, Jin never really explored the heritage of his birth family. He was comfortable living in the melting pot that he created with his brothers. They were their own mini United Nations. It was the only type of home life that he knew. He never even questioned it.Now, Jin's feeling are being put to the test by a man who doesn't think he's good enough for his daughter. The tables are turned because Jin never really dated his entire life, too caught up in school work and advancing his career. He was always the picky one, now he's the one being deemed unworthy.It's an interesting clash of cultures that Bryce sets up in the first novel, making the anticipation even stronger for the continuation of this freshly original series.
