What Brooke Read

Wow, I read a lot this week!
I started the end of last week with Blue Collar Bad Boys. I couldn't decide on what to read next so I asked my mom. She wasn't thrilled to know she picked some hot and dirty instalove, bred stories.
Blurb:
Four books in one! 
These guys are real men to the core: virile, a little primal, and good with their hands. But when these hunky, strapping heroes fall for the loves of their lives, we discover they have ooey gooey marshmallow hearts. It's the best combination, right? 
The bigger they are, the harder they fall...and the Blue Collar Bad Boys in this bundle are a testament to that. Get four books in one for a delicious price and watch as the bouncer, the carpenter, the oil rigger, and the tow truck driver find a forever kind of love with women who are quirky, a little nerdy, and a lot adorable. Women just like you and me. 
You won't miss billionaire heroes once you spend some time with these real men. Your book boyfriend is in here. Go get him. 
Included in this Box Set are:
Bounced

Next was Fallen Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan. I always enjoy her stories and this one was a great friends to lovers book.
Blurb:
The Montgomery Ink series continues with a spin-off in Colorado Springs, where a familiar Montgomery finds her place in a new tattoo shop, and in the arms of her best friend.
Adrienne Montgomery is finally living her dreams. She’s opened a tattoo shop with her brother, Shep, and two of her cousins from Denver and she’s ready to take the city by storm with her art—as long as she can handle the pressure. When her new neighbors decide her shop isn’t a great fit for the community, however, she’ll have to lean on the one person she didn’t expect to fall for along the way…her best friend. 
Mace Knight takes pride in two things: his art and his daughter. He knows he’s taking a risk by starting over in a new shop with the Montgomerys, but the stakes are even higher when he finds himself wanting Adrienne more than he thought possible. 
The two fall fast and hard but they know the rules; they can’t risk their friendship, no matter how hot it is between the sheets and how many people try to stand in their way.

Sea of Scars by Frances Paul gutted me. That's all I'll say.
Blurb:
I lost everything. 
My job. My family. My life…my sanity. 
How does a man come back from that? How do you right so many wrongs when the choices you’ve made caused those around you so much pain? 
My determination to prove I was strong enough and that my mind and spirit was unbreakable, tore my family apart. By refusing to accept the help I so desperately needed, I caused irreparable damage to the people I loved the most. 
After everything I’ve done I didn’t think life would give me a second chance. But then I met Courtney. A beautiful woman with a troubled past, and scars that mirror my own. A woman who somehow manages to breathe new life into my soul. 
Now I can’t help but hope that this might be my chance to make things right.

You know that I love Outlander. I came across Almost Jamie by Gina Robinson. It's different with modern similarities to the amazing series. It's only book one of four, which I wasn't thrilled about.
Blurb:
A kilt meets dress modern love story.
If you like good guy geek heroes who look hot in kilts, strong, intelligent heroines, and poignant romance, then you’ll love Almost Jamie, the first book in Gina Robinson’s light, fun contemporary romance Jet City Kilt Series.
Half American, half English physician Blair Edwards has always wanted her Jamie, the Sinclair, the dashing Highland laird of the wildly popular TV series, Jamie. Unfortunately, it's so hard to find a man like him in the modern world. When the stars of Jamie come to Seattle's Jet City Comicon, Blair dresses up as Jamie's Elinor in a vibrant red gown, hoping to get a seat in their popular presentation and a good view of the handsome, charming star of the show. She doesn't expect to be called on to use her medical skills to treat an injured cosplayer who looks almost like…Jamie. And sets her wounded heart racing.
Cosplayer, geek, app designer, and cyber security expert Austin MacDougall has been styled by his matchmaker to look like the actor who plays Jamie. He's been trying to win the prize for best amateur cosplayer for years. Against the advice of his friends, he goes to Jet City Comicon in a kilt as Jamie, the striking redheaded Highlander. When he's injured during a mock battle with a vicious cosplaying orc, his friends get him help from a beautiful doctor in a stunning red dress.
Has Austin met his Elinor? The adventure is just beginning…
