Starting somewhere around June 22 :)

Hey Laura!

I won't have any time for reading tomorrow (booooooooh!), so I'll get a head start and read the first 3 chapters today :)

Trip  (shardsofromance) Oh that works for me! I actually thought we were starting yesterday for some reason and when saw 22nd I was like 😳

So I'm happy to start later today too! Looking forward to this xx


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Soooooo. I already finished my 3 chapters- They are SO short! :D

I hope we'll get to know Harley better soon, because going from what I know about him from Jet's book, I'm not his biggest fan exactly.

The first chapter was also really bizarre. Ok, stalking fans are a reality, but. It felt weird.

I wonder what the big bad bodyguard is hiding. Curiouser and curiouser….

Also, after chapter 3, this is going to be fun. The boys already bonded, and I see some messing with Brix (what a stupid name…) in the near future.

Two grumpy, stubborn idiots forced to live together should be fun!


Trip  (shardsofromance) Oh awesome!

I've not read Jets book yet so I don't know Harley at all, which I'm glad about as I've heard not great from there 😂

Oh I do love grumpy fools! Looking forward to it xx

Soooooo. I had some time after all. I got to chapter 13. OOPSIE!!!!! Sorry :D I'll wait for you to catch up


Trip  (shardsofromance) Sorry I've been lazy I'm just getting into it now, just finished the first Chapter of Harleys and looking good.. I'm already expecting angst though. Closeted characters annoy me these days but I get it with his job, and damn that was scary as hell with that fan at his house. What a way to start...

Looking forward to Brix though I think his going to be my fave, I shall let know as continuing now 😊


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Yep, that was a very depressing start… But it gets better once … Nolan (his real first name really is no better than Brix. Stupid names. Poor baby ^^) gets under his skin and gets him out of the house. They are SO cute together!


Trip  (shardsofromance) I've just finished chapter 5 and am loving it so far, I can see why you got swept up in it. I find the rules really fun and the trip to the shop was entertaining, I love the little looks into both of their history so far. It's interesting and a lot of fun, I'm going to catch up 😊

Brixton is a great name, it's different and Nolan too. Iris seems like a laugh too xx


Trip  (shardsofromance) Just finished ch13 and this book is addictive, could easily speed through it. I'm shocked almost halfway already 😳

I adore Harley and Brix so much, there's so many amazing quotes and lessons to be learned here along with interesting history. Still want to know more about Brixs past though and the person he goes to meet.

These two are so cute together and I'm actually glad the angst is not too extreme, because Brix is smart and while serious his really sweet and his perspective on life is wonderful. I really enjoy him pulling Harley out of his work to actually live and smile, the swimming and the trip to base. With the team, explosives and gun. Not to mention how hot they're together..

Im really enjoying it!


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Right? They are so awesome. It's why I also like Jet's story, his partner is very similar to Brix (although Jet is a much bigger drama queen. Which I thought was weird, cause I thought Harley would be worse :D). They both get someone quiet and focused who grounds them in a way. It's really sweet.

I wonder how the rest of the series will go, if we get to meet the rest of Brix's team again, or… I really hope the Eleven guy with a kid gets a book next, I really liked him in Jet's book.

Trip  (shardsofromance) Im still working my way through the Fake Out series but I've loved them so far, I adore Eden Finleys writing. It seems perfect equal amount development, story and roman E along with angst it really works for me.

Oh I already checked because I wanted to see too and the next book is Ryder the one with a kid, it looks sweet 😊

I finished ch15 and I think the angst is now about to hit, (view spoiler)

Trip  (shardsofromance) Finished Ch25 and I must say you made an amazing pick with this book, I've loved it so much so far and been really quick to read too because it's just got me so much.

Spoilers up to Ch 25
(view spoiler)


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
I only got to chapter 15. Sorry! I'll catch up soon. It's too hot over here for reading :D

You're right, not locking that door was stupid beyond anything. I mean. Really…

But the Bodyguard jokes are cute, I agree :D

Trip  (shardsofromance) Aww it's OK! I completely understand, the heat is getting ridiculous here too. Although was lovely breeze, yesterday so managed to sit in the shade and catch up.

Yeah it just seemed foolish but it did make for a fun scene 😂

I love those so much! I shall wait for you to catch up as I'm really interested as to what you think on the next few parts.


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
I got to chapter 23. The boys are so cute! I also loved the interaction between Brix (still hate the name, and I love my precious baby Talon from he Fake Boyfriend series ^^) and his dad. Love how he can be sarcastic in morse code.


Trip  (shardsofromance) Awesome! I swear this book is just so great it hits for me so well, I know right! I loved the sarcasm and how his dad recognised Harley that was hilarious 😂

So many great moments xx


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
I think you're right about the assistant's boyfriend. That would really be the only thing that makes sense!

Trip  (shardsofromance) Yeah that's the only person I think is unaccounted for, I'd be shocked if it was Jamie but then could be a twist... Let's see shall we.


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Ok, finished chapter 26. So much drama! And only so few chapters left...

Trip  (shardsofromance) Yeah, I just finished Ch27. I mean it didn't end up being what I expected but I was smart reasoning so I kind of like how that worked out, Webber is certainly creepy.

Also I am now even more in love with the Mike Bravo team so I do hope get a story for Travis or Iris sometime as they have really grabbed me.

Yeah I feel like this book has gone so quick considering it's long x


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
True. It does make sense. And it would've been even worse for the assistant if the boyfriend had been evil. Bad enough as it is.

YEs, Iris NEEDS a book. I bet he's like Talon and demands a book that doesn't fit into the series but has to be in there (you'll get it when you meet Talon ^^) :D


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Ok, so I finished, AND (view spoiler)

Trip  (shardsofromance) Yeah I enjoyed it a lot!

Ive just finished and I just saw that mention Mike Bravo will be getting their own series, so I'm really excited for that. Although I know the Eleven guys are going to be first, I hope get to know them more in the next book as at the moment I'm not as bothered about them 😂

I loved Talon and Miller from their appearance in Trick Play so am looking forward to their story sometime, I've got Deke to read first.

Thanks for the amazing pick and reading with me! Xx


Andrea | 836 comments Mod
Me neither. I don't know why, but the boyband never really interested me that much. I always liked the guy with the kid, but only because he seemed nice and normal in comparison to the rest from what little I've seen of him.
Oh, you are going to love the two shitheads. Such adorable morons, those two. *Sigh* Talon works Winnie the Pooh into his wedding vows. I mean. How can you not love the dear? :D:D:D

I'm glad you enjoyed this one, too!!!!!! I hope the next book we pick will be as awesome :D


Trip  (shardsofromance) I know right, I feel like just didn't see or learn much about them. Denver seems interesting to me and Ryder looks to be fun. But yeah in general I'm much more interested in the Mike Bravo team so look forward to those 😊

Oh wow that's awesome! Winnie the pooh has so much sweet quotes and that sounds adorable, good to know!

Thanks! Yeah I hope so too, let me know if got any ideas.
