*****Book review*****

>Brothers for Sisters<
While there is a decent amount of repeated items at the beginning of book two, I only hold a teensy grudge. I do like the storylines and how entwined they are in the grand scheme of things. The close bond the brothers share is rivaled by that of the sisters they eventually wed and bed.

It's not Nikki's darkest work, but this is up there, so check those triggers. SA, child abuse, violent ☠️, and more are present.

I love that the narrators differ between books, making it easier to binge. Those delightful narrators are: Gideon Frost, Lexi Evans, Gregory Salinas, and Sarah Puckett.

Title: A Risk Worth Taking

Author: Nikki Ash, USA Today bestselling author


*****Book review*****

>Masked Attraction<

Eliza (Ellie) Bardot and Lincoln Alexander have been around each other for years. She's had the biggest crush on him since he waltzed into her life many years ago, but memories and guilt keep her away.

I like how their relationship as adults starts - even with the deception. I also love how her truth comes to light. There's plenty of darkness, bittersweetness, and angst that get mixed with heat and heart throughout. Micah and Sienna's girls bring enough sunshine to keep some of the demons tamed. They are a joyous duo.

Not only does this start in a dark place, one that I suspected, but it doesn't end there. Please, if you need to check trigger warnings, do.

Reading the duology in order isn't necessary, but I do recommend it. That said, if you have read the first book, there is a LOT of repetition in the early chapters. It bothered me because I listened to the books in quick succession, so everything was still fresh. If I had read instead of listening to it, I would've skipped over much of that part.

The narrators, Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas, are really good narrators and pull me into the story, allowing me to get lost in the storytelling. 🎧🩷🎧
