His Reason to Stay
by Cathryn Fox
I can’t say enough about this series. The characters are always interesting, the bedroom door is wide open & HOT, and the plot is well paced & interesting. Fox’s men are all strong, stand up guys – with good hearts, hard bodies and strong minds. They are smart, sexy and dedicated to each other, their loved ones and what they feel is right.
And of course Kyle isn’t any different. He’s sacrificed a lot for his brother, including the woman he loved. Now that his brother is gone, it’s become harder to resist her. Or her daughter.
Rachel is hiding a big secret from Kyle (although I’m pleased that Fox made it a recent secret, because I don’t[ know that I would have liked her as much if it had been known all along). She’s always had feelings for him and now that he’s back in her life, she’s afraid that it might send him running.
I loved seeing the two of them get close again after so many years apart. The have long-held feelings that need to be brought out into the open but both are afraid of what it could mean - Rachel thinks it could be too much for him and he's carrying guilt over his brother. It's all so complicated but addressed very nicely and without being overly emotional.
My only issue, and I’ve said this before, is that I’m a little icked out by the idea of brothers being with the same girl. I’m an only child so I don’t know if having siblings would change anything but to me it’s just … well, weird to think about. I mean there’s just something about both of you having been naked with the same woman that just asks for comparison and … ugh, I don’t know it’s just strange to me. But that’s a personal issue and I think Fox handles it very well. I just kinda blocked that part out and enjoyed the rest of it since I know it is just a hangup of mine and not necessarily a problem for everyone :)
Fantastic heroes, strong women who love them, and romantic complications without a whole lot of drama add up to fantastic books that I just have a hard time putting down.
