Synopsis:


As her thirty-first birthday approaches, plain but passionate accountant Benai Peters’ romantic prospects improve when she attracts the attention of her best friend’s brother-in-law at the wedding rehearsal dinner. The only problem is the handsome Randall Grayhawk mistakenly thinks she belongs to his older brother, the equally handsome but brooding Bancroft. Which means Benai is off limits to all the other Grayhawk brothers unless she can convince Randall that the two of them belong together.

The Grayhawk brothers have never vied for the attention of the same woman—until Randall finds himself falling hard for Benai. Despite his struggles and best intentions, he’s reluctantly drawn into a steamy sexual and emotional relationship with her that threatens to destroy his cherished relationship with Bancroft and force the other Grayhawk brothers to take sides.

 

SRR GRADE:  A+
 

The Greyhawk men are as close knit as brothers could be. When one brother expresses an interest in a woman, she is considered off limits to the others. That, and the fact that her biological clock is yelling at her to get with the program, is what Benai has problems with. Bancroft, one of the older Greyhawk brothers has made it known to his brothers that he is interested in Benai but has not made his intentions known to her. She is interested in another Greyhawk - Randall. According to the Greyhawk family traditions, there is only one way you can pursue another's claim, admitting you love her. Benai knows what she wants from the man she loves and Randall seems intent on giving her everything but what she truly wants and foregoing what he desires in order to save his brother.

Absolutely stunning! This novel has elbowed it's way up to my Top Ten List of best reads. It demanded my attention from the beginning and since it was so demanding, I gave in. Ms. Lee has produced a novel about honor, love, and sacrifice that had me engrossed in the unfolding love story between Benai and Randall, the true honor and respect the Greyhawk men have for one another and the sacrifice they would go through to ensure their bonds we never broken. I felt that the attention Ms. Lee gave to her characters were so well planned and thought out. Benai's growing self-confidence and Randall's self-discovery were endearing and realistic. Their sex scenes were scorchers and my advice is to have relief close at hand. There is anal play scenes that were some of the best written that I have read. Ms. Lee made sure that the reader knew the scenes were all about love and tenderness. Love Out Loud is book two in the Long Line of Love Series. Now, I have to go find book one and wait patiently for book three.
