Review: Brooke

Brooke by Ronie Kendig
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

“I think Metcalfe and Mayhem go hand-in-hand.”

I was looking forward to Brooke’s book since Brooke and Cord’s first meet in book one. This was fast becoming a favourite in the series from the first page to the last. The chemistry, the sarcasm and the flirtation between Cord and Brooke was fun to read.

But, this was not an easy read. This whole series is about human trafficking and the darkness and horrible things happening to the victims. This book was more focused on forced labour side of human trafficking and there was really some horrible actions towards the children which would not be easy to read for sensitive readers.

The Best thing for me about this book was that we saw the three military Metcalfes, Canyon, Range and Leif reunited to save their sister. And the Banter between the Metcalfe brothers and the other heroes in this story was fun to read. AND…I…LOVED…Cord.

Canyon’s eyebrows rose into his hairline. “I think that bullet hit more than your chest. Wanting to join this family—gotta be some kind of crazy.”

This was paced, action packed and entertaining. I also like how the Metcalfes acknowledge that they are not perfect and make mistakes (though we think they are).

“I’d say welcome to the family but ‘run’ is probably the smarter thing.”

At the end of this story, I felt it was too short. Not just the book but the series. I want more, even if it is a Christmas novella soon (hint hint).

About the book:

Prioritizing career over family cost Brooke Metcalfe Mulroney everything—her relationship with her siblings, her marriage, her children. Written off by her family, she delves deeper into her work. Until a life-altering moment offers a chance at something she didn’t know she wanted—redemption. But her self-centered ways nip at her heels as she goes on the lam to do what she knows is right.

Former Special Forces operator and founder of MiLE, Cord Taggart wages war on human trafficking by taking the violence to the wicked, determined to never again let an innocent die because he did nothing. But maybe he’s bitten off more than he can chew this time as he works to track down New York City high-powered attorney Brooke Metcalfe, who is MIA. Then there’s her brothers who have threatened to chase him into the afterlife should he fail.

Tricky are the hours as Cord negotiates many battles: freeing the captives, demolishing the Trench that has made millions off the skin-trade industry, and his growing, deep-rooted feelings for the bombshell in her highfalutin tower. Brooke must put her life—and heart—in the hands of the thick-skulled operator.
