The Secret Life of Bryan

Bounty hunter Bryan Kelly has a few rules. Rule #1: Women are for fun, not commitment. Rule #2: He’ll do anything for his twin brother, even switch places in order to find out who wants to sabotage the naive preacher’s charity organization. Playing benefactor to a bunch of sassy, flirtatious prostitutes means that Bryan will have to be his brother — in every way that counts. But then, he hadn’t counted on Shay Sommers. Keeping his cool around the luscious lady of the night with the big heart is doing nothing to keep his thoughts pure, which brings him to instant Rule #3: If you can’t avoid temptation, succumb with abandon…

Being mistaken for a hooker. Well that’s certainly a new one for Shay. The society pages icon has made her name in charity work. Still, this could be her chance to help these girls from the inside out, if she can play the part just right. It certainly won’t be hard to act the street siren with the gorgeous preacher who runs the place, even if he does seem less like a shepherd and much more like a wolf in a clerical collar…one with a hungry look that’s making Shay feel she might be his next dinner…

REVIEW: Have you ever read about a town and it’s people and wished that you could be part of that community. Or read about a group of mismatched friends and how close they were and wished that you had a group like that. That is how I feel every time that I have read a book in this series.

I had read every book in this series except this one because I could never find it. Then I FOUND IT!! So I already knew some of the story line just from reading the other books. However I am soooo glad that I read the book.

Bryan is a bounty hunter completely at home with who he is. He is used to the darker side of life and humanity. Nothing that anyone does could ever surprise him. He trusts very few people, however there are only two people in this world that he loves, his father and his twin brother. So when someone threatens his brother he is pissed.

Bryan has no business being a preacher, even one in disguise to find out who is trying to kill his brother. So when he encounters Shay he is sure of who and what she is. As he gets to know her, he has to fight himself because all he wants to do is take her to his bed and do all sorts of things that preachers shouldn’t be doing.

Shay is someone that feels like she has to give back. She sees a need and has to do something about it. Someone saved her as a child, and she now wants to save everyone. When Bryan (pretending to be Bruce) thinks that she is a prostitute she lets him believe it, however she soon comes to regret that decision.

The sexual tension between these two is great. From the first moment they meet you can feel the sparks coming off the pages. Then there is the conversations that these two have. It made for a definite page turner. When Bryna finally revealed who he was to Shay the relief that they could something about the sexual tension. When they realize that they love it each other they set about making sure that the other person love them.

I give this book a 4.75 out of 5
