Be My Brayshaw By Meagan Brandy

  BE MY BRAYSHAW (BRAYSHAW HIGH #4)

5 STARS

Synopsis from Goodreads:

“Cross one, cross all.”

That’s the Brayshaw way.

She should have realized this before sliding into our world with secrets too big to bury.
She didn’t and now the target is on her back.


The day her lies came crashing down, I should have forced her out.
Instead, I locked her in, and with the promise I would never be hers.

I resisted, fought against us.
I caved.

I tasted what became my newfound favorite flavor and fell hard for the little liar.

But then the depth of her treachery reveals itself, and with it a reminder.

Our town is a twisted place, and with truth comes trouble.

In the blink of an eye, my world is split at its core, and I’m faced with an impossible decision, one that leads to a single outcome...

Betrayal.--
This is Captain Brayshaws book and the fourth book in the Brayshaw series.

 

I am emotionally raw with this one. I want to start by stating I DON'T CRY. Not that there is anything wrong with crying. It just isn't something I feel the need to do. Usually once or twice a year...well 'Be My Brawshaw' has used up my crying quota for the next I don't know three years maybe?! I am also going to say that if you have not read book 1-3 yet please stop reading here...because although I am not about to issue any spoilers I also don't want to give anything away....

Okay so if you are still with me can I just say that I wasn't sure it was possible but Victoria...Oh Victoria. You may just be my favorite heroine of all time. I am not stating that lightly either. But wow oh wow did I just FEEL her. Maybe it is the mom in me...but I connected on a different level with her. The entire storyline was breathtaking. I couldn't read for 2 weeks after this book. Not that I didn't try, but nothing else measured up. I thought the book hangover from the first three books was terrible, but nothing like this. And oh sweet sweet Zoey. The only thing I can say about this is there are no words, and you will understand once you read it.

Lastly, the end scene with Royce...I cannot wait!

4 Stars

Goodreads Synopsis:

He’s kind of a big dill.
An enemies-to-lovers, secret boss, gut-splittingly hilarious rom com from USA Today bestselling author J.J. Knight.

They call me Big Pickle.
It’s not what you think.
(Although that’s true too.)

I happen to be the oldest Pickle in the family deli business. And we have the best salami.

Take that one however you like.

But when my father announces the franchise will go to the most profitable of the three brothers, I learn that even though I’m the biggest Pickle, I’m dead last.

I hightail it to Texas to see what’s happened to my restaurant, only to find a sassy little spitfire named Nova Strong in charge.

She’s amazing. She’s sexy. She’s perfectly happy to call bullsh*t when she sees it.

But despite the way we nearly melt the permafrost in the industrial freezer, I have to control myself. Nova thinks I'm a new employee. She has no idea I’m only there to spy.

Or that I'm her boss.

As I get to the bottom of why my franchise is failing, I desperately need to know one thing:

Is Nova Strong everything wrong with my deli, or everything right for me?

Let the hilariousness ensue. I legit laughed out loud with this one. I am so hoping that JJ writes stories for the rest of the brothers because that is something I can get behind.
