The Brodie Brothers #3
e-ARC provided by author
Author: Kayley Loring
“A former model, a grumpy lawyer, and a single dad walk into an audition for a children’s musical… and they’re all Miles Brodie.”
Dear Miles,
I have been loving your grumpy self ever since you showed up when I met your brother Owen. I wanted to clock you for being so mean to Dylan on Thanksgiving… and then you sang about how “you still hadn’t found what you were looking for”. We got a hint of Aria then, but now she finally smacked you right in the feels, huh? You are a devoted dad to Macy, to the point of bulldozing your way (and hers) into a children’s musical… You are loyal, hence you staying away -sorta – from her for THREE YEARS because she was your client’s ex…
But then she came full force into your life and she has to deal with your grumpy, arrogant self. She has to deal with Macy, whose “dulcet tones” are a danger to human ears, but mostly because she is (and always will be) your number 1 girl.
So when you decided to play the Cheshire Cat in the musical, you melted my heart. And I loved being inside your head! Your inner monologues are just hilarious! F*ck your life! lol
And yes, Miles, if you are wondering if you won me over, yes, yes, you did you naughty man.
Love,
Monica
OMG, this book! Oh how I love how Kayley Loring writes! This was the perfect ending for the series (though in the same fashion of The Lazy Wingmen, I hope the Brodies keep popping up in future books). Miles’ journey was just perfect! Aria (I love her name in the group text! lol) is tailor-made for Grumpy McPoppiehead! Macy is such an annoyingly adorable character and I loved how she was instrumental in helping her dad find true love!
The epilogues by Dylan and Owen… The ending of the book… Everything is just what I was hoping for and more! And I am not ashamed to say I cried a little because I won’t be seeing the Brodies as much anymore. Judge me. I don’t care.
I am waiting with bated breath for the audiobook. I suspect “death by Jason Clarke” will be a thing. Just sayin’
Thank you, @kayleyloring, for the ARC.
Audiobook review:
I read the book and I was gobsmacked. First thing I thought: I am in love with this book. I literally read the book with the narrators’ voices in my head, but I wasn’t ready for …
1. #deathbyjasonclarke yup, it’s a thing. It was a “swoon-nami” from start to finish. And you sing… dear Lord…
2. Mackenzie – wow. You ARE Aria and Macy. And Mama Brodie is a treasure!
3. Zach – you are the king of kids voices and Dylan is still my favorite, but SIR PATRICK!!!!! I was in stitches!!!
4. Teddy – you always made Owen so much fun …and Sam! Fart jokes for the win!
5. Emma – we should all live in fear of getting a call from Drew Barrymore!
6. Connor – you rapped! You fecking rapped! Nope, people, Papa Brodie doesn’t rap, but he’s still alright alright alright… 😉
7. Emily – I love Scarlett (she’s one of my favorite characters), and her mom, and Nanny Cho! You rock!
I could gush forever about this book but I don’t want to spoil the fun for anyone (well, more than I probably already did with how much I talk about it…)
I will miss the group texts, I will miss the Brodies like they were real.
Thank you, Kayley. (Now you are screwed… we always expect top quality from you – and get it – but you raised the bar, girl! 😉 )
