About this ebook

The wrong brother…

Ireland needs a fresh start, and her cousin convinces her to take a chance on a charismatic bad-boy with a wicked boat and a killer body. But when Ireland shows up for the popular Lake Tahoe booze cruise he runs, she finds his handsome older brother at the helm instead.

Bran likes things structured and predictable. Especially after the mistakes he made ten years ago. But his father’s recent passing threw his calm life into chaos, and now Bran is in charge of the family’s five-star restaurants. He’s been grasping to get things back to status-quo ever since.

He has no idea how much more complicated life will get.

Flame-haired Ireland is exactly the type of beautiful woman Bran has programed himself to avoid. But when she falls into his lap on a booze cruise his brother asked him to cover, the boat isn’t the only thing tossed by the water. Bran’s heart goes overboard as well.

Headstrong Ireland is nothing Bran wants, and everything he needs.

"Wonderful characters and beautiful family." ~ Julia, Reviewer

EXCERPT

Bran stretched his neck and let out a sigh. “I’m sorry… About the boat incident.”

“You mean the kiss?”

“I meant the hands. The kiss had been coming.” The corner of his mouth quirked.

“I liked the hands,” she said, her blood boiling with annoyance. “It was the words out of your mouth I could have done without.”

Bran’s eyes darkened. “Good to know. Next time, less talking and more touching.”

Ireland’s jaw dropped.“Who says there will be a next time?”

“You didn’t say there wouldn’t.”

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Sweet & Steamy Stars! I absolutely adored this funny, sweet, heartwarming and very sexy romance! Ireland is new to Lake Tahoe, looking for a fresh start from an awful work environment. She is a clumsy, awkward, beautiful computer programming expert. She had tried to be nice to Bran when she met him but her beauty sent up red flags to him and he was a complete jerk. He has rules against dating beautiful women so that he can stay unaffected and prove to his family that he can take care of the family business. But when Bran needs Ireland's help at work, all rules fly out the window as he spends time with this fiery, intelligent redhead. Ireland isn't going to be treated badly anymore, so she is not about to fall easily for Bran's charms. But their connection is electric from the start and they can't deny their feelings. When someone is out to hurt both of them, will they have what it takes to make it last? This was a charming, breathtaking, sexy story that kept me totally engaged from start to finish. Ms Barnard has created another fun story with genuine and honest characters, witty banter and steamy passion. I enjoyed catching up with friends and family from past books. I really love these Cade brothers and can't wait for Hunt's book next!

Excellent read! Seducing Bran is the third book in the Cade Brothers series from this author and although there are characters from prior books it is easily read and enjoyed as a standalone. Bran and Ireland are great together and their story is one that proves love tends to find you when you least expect it and from whom you least expect. This book is very well written with an entertaining storyline and intriguing characters. I highly recommend it.

I have read all the book in this series and like being able to catch up on the other Cade brothers and friends. this new instalment was no less exciting with Ireland and Bran finding their love for one another. It was a great read.
