Love Restored (A Gallagher Brothers Novel) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Love Restored by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first Carrie Ann Ryan book, and I will definitely be reading her other series books! This first in the Gallagher Brothers was right up my alley- the brothers are close, most work together in a construction company and they all stick together when trouble comes knocking, and this trouble is their client, Blake Brennan, an inker and piercer with Montgomery Ink. Both Graham Gallagher and Blake are hiding secrets and until they both reveal these secrets to each other, they will continue to have a very adversarial "relationship" which involves a lot of grumpy behavior from Graham. I liked the story, did not like the cover, but rooted for their happiness and yes there is lots of sizzle in their romance!

Wow, another awesome series by a debut author to share with my #yearofya chat Wednesday 3/29 @8PM EST- read this book & join us.! I loved Amani's voice, character, thoughts, and oh yes, her actions!!! She was perfect with a gun (and as a boy), aching to get out of her house & town, and crazy enough to charge into situations & then think about how to get out & survive. I can't wait to read the 2nd book, Traitor to the Throne (#2 (500 pages) in a trilogy), but reading the synopsis on Goodreads has me unhappy because Jinn, her foreign super hero and love interest---seem to be apart for most of the novel- I so hope it is not. They are like puzzle pieces that fit together, get things done, & live to fight another day. There was so much adventure, suspense, lying (haha), world building, and drama to keep my fingers flying through the pages & chapters!!! There was so much grand mythology, magic horses, Skywalkers, Ghouls, and Djinn & Demdjii providing heart stopping action- plus the many sultan sons & daughters. A must read!
