My Thoughts
If I'd known then what I know now...
- Scout
This one sentence seems so simple yet powerful as Scout begins the story of her journey home. She hasn't been back to the ranch for many years and she's coming home to say goodbye to the man who changed her life. Maybe more than one man. The author did such a great job expressing Scout's anxiety and strength in taking this journey knowing how hard it would be on so many levels.
She arrives to find that so much has happened while she was away. The house is quiet and the men have changed drastically. Chase has suffered a great loss that he may never get over. Conn is still the dark brother that is currently escaping into a bottle. Chance...he is the brother trying to hold things together. All believe that the curse is a real thing. They have seen it's devastation over and over again to the women loved by the Armstrongs. A chance at saving a life changes things for everyone. I so enjoyed this story.
I give Three Brothers 4 hearts!

About the Book
I grew up with three brothers. They weren’t tied to me by
blood, but our connection went beyond genetics or bearing the same last name.
Our connection was forged the summer I turned thirteen, the summer my mom ended
her life and left me in the custody of John Armstrong, a man I’d never met.
Packing all I owned in a couple of boxes, I left the familiarity of the big
city and headed west to Red Mountain Ranch, set in a lonely valley outside of
Jackson Hole.
Nothing was as it seemed at Red Mountain—it didn’t take long
for me to figure that out. John was kind to me but distant, as if he was afraid
to let anyone get too close. His three teenage sons had their own devices for
keeping love as far away as they could. The eldest distracted himself with
cheap relationships that had a shelf-life of one night. The middle son threw
himself into the rigor of running a ranch, and the third wielded cruelty and
mind-games in his quest to keep people from getting close.
Time has gone by, and I’ve spent those years trying to
forget the brother I’d fallen for—the biggest mistake of my life.
Finally, I’ve moved on. Finally, I’m back. But what I didn’t
realize was that running away from the wrong brother meant I’d also run away
from the right one. The one who’d been there for me all along, waiting in his
brother’s shadow for the day I either would or could move on.
But a decade is a long time to wait. Has the brother I
should have chosen all of those years ago moved on too? Am I about to discover
that my biggest mistake wasn’t falling in love with the wrong brother, but
failing to return the love of the right one sooner?
Does unrequited love have an expiration date?
I’m about to find out.

FLAMES (S&S UK), The EDEN TRILOGY, and a handful of others. I write stories

the world a better place, and that’s one tiny way I can make it so. I’m one of
those people who still believe in true love and soul mates, and would rather
keep my head in the clouds any day over having my feet firmly on the ground.
