Three Brothers is the first Nicole Williams book that I have had the pleasure of reading, and I think I need a day or two to recover from it. Holy cow, this book touched me deep down to my core, it was so emotional. I need to scour my kindle and see if I have any of her other books, because I don't know why it has taken me this long to discover hew haunting and powerful writing style. I know it says it right in the summary, but this book is much more on the sweet romance side of new adult, and because of the other books in genre, it will seem much more tame and even a little slower paced than other New Adult books. But trust me, that works with the story perfectly.

The story follows Scout, who left home to attend Vet school, and has to come back because the man who raised her, and his own three sons, is dying. Right then and there, you know a couple of things. 1) this book is going to tug on your heartstrings, and it is going to be sad, and 2) with all of those sons, there is going to be a love triangle at some level. (possibly even a love rectangle. You will have to read to find out ;) ) You have been warned.

The brothers- Conn, Chance, and Chase. The summary is purposefully vague as to which brother is which, and no names are used so I am not going to spoil any more of the story than the summary did for you. So in regards to the brothers, one is the biggest sweetheart you will ever see. I just wanted to hug him the whole time I was reading the story. Another brother was Scout's best friend. He held a special place in my heart too, and the last brother was such a tortured soul. Even when he rubbed me the wrong way, I couldn't help but feel for him.

Three Brothers is a book that will stand out to you as something fresh, emotional and very moving in the new adult genre. Family, friendship, letting go of the past and moving forward are all themes that Nicole Williams explores beautifully in this standalone novel.
