What Brooke Read

I'm a day late!
In my defense, I was cuddling an adorable little girl yesterday, but I'm her aunt so I'm entitled to say that.
I didn't get anything done so I'm not playing catch-up.
Here's my first step in that process.
This week, I finished two books. Reign of Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy and Neanderthal marries Human by Penny Reid.
So, first off, Reign of Brayshaw!
I was so excited to finish this trilogy. It has been truly enjoyable BUT I found some of the conclusions that were tied up to be a little predictable. It didn't take away my enjoyment of the story though.
Blurb:
"Trust only those who earn it." 
A sentiment I follow without direction but holds more consequence than ever before.
One decision, five lives, three futures.
This is what's at stake.
One night, one choice, four broken Brayshaws.
That is where we're headed.
Unless I stop it.
I have to stop it.
I have to remind him of what he's chosen to forget.
My town. My choice. My ending.

And now Neanderthal marries Human.
Witty, fun, with a happily ever after. Despite some errors, I found myself laughing page after page. Even took a joke out of it and have been telling it to anyone willing to humor me.
Blurb:
There are three things you should know about Quinn Sullivan: 1) He is madly in love with Janie Morris, 2) He’s not above playing dirty to get what (or who) he wants, and 3) He doesn’t know how to knit. 
After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn—former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat—is ready to propose marriage. In fact, he’s more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day—thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of pre-matrimony: engagement, meeting the parents, bachelor/bachelorette party, and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions. 
But Janie, much to Quinn’s dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane. 
Will Quinn last until the wedding day? Or will he yield to his tyrant impulses? 
This book is not a standalone. It is the sequel to ‘Neanderthal Seeks Human,’ and is book #1.5 in the Knitting in the City series.
