Publisher's summary

I knew the Blair brothers. It was impossible to grow up in Astoria and not be familiar with them.

There were four boys in the Blair family, and all of them had that certain something. They were smart, athletic, funny, and gorgeous. If I was forced to pick my favorite, it would have to be Henry. He was the wild one of the bunch - a rock star. Literally. He left Astoria years ago to chase and realize his dreams in Seattle. I still saw his younger brothers quite a bit, but it had been years since I'd seen Henry.

That all changed one night when the Blair family came into the restaurant where I worked, and sat at my table. Henry just so happened to be with them. I always imagined that he might be the man of my dreams, but after that night, I knew it.

Wonderful series by a wonderful author

I love most of the stories by Brooke St James, but this one is a particular favorite that I can listen to over and over again whenever I’m in the mood.

Kind of a spinoff series to the Family Stone!

Brooke St James delivers yet another deliciously swoony romance!

So in the 1st story of this new series, we get to meet Ethan's band-leading friend, Henry Blair (from book 5 of the Family Stone series), and his family vicariously thru sweet, slightly naive Aiden.

Henry is drawn to & inspired by Aiden, but eventually finds himself exasperated by (not to give too much away) her willingness to put up with things from people that she shouldn't. Aiden doesn't understand & her insecurity leads her to believe she's being rejected.

I generally find miscommunication conflicts annoyingly contrived to draw out a plot, but the conflict and resolution play out naturally and believably here. In fact, something kind of similar happened to a friend of mine.

The Stone family isn't in the story except for a reference to Alec at one point and an indirect one to Ethan at another, but it has a similar vibe & felt to me, almost like a sequel to book 5. Which may be wishful thinking on my part, but I absolutely loved both!

*Romance level: passionate kissing

*Religion: a very light touch, easily skipped over if disinclined

[Kate Rudd's narration is excellent as always! I'm so glad that Brooke has her doing this series, too!]
