The Boss (Fires Edge book 1 ) by Abigail Owen 5 stars
I went into this book blind and I was surprised at every twist and turn. I mean who doesn’t love a shifter series, especially what these guys turn into!

As they all try to find answers to questions they have, they must also fight off an ex who is something they’ve never encountered before. Can the man who has sworn off a mate, be persuaded?

Who: A Stalker Series by Megan Mitcham is an intense and gripping story of one woman and her battle with a stalker. Larkin has fought her way to success. And she is continuing to fight her board of directors to get what she wants. But she finds herself needing to take a step back when she starts receiving threatening messages. With her life taking a sinister turn Larkin has to work hard to keep everything from falling apart. Because if she doesn’t, she could lose not only her career but also her life.
This book was incredible. The plot was so intriguing from start to finish. The number of times o thought I had everything figured out only to then change my mind. I loved how this author kept me on my toes throughout. I also really enjoyed Larkin’s character. She is the kind of character that completes makes a book – strong but with the softer side. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

The concept around it was amazing. 12 boys growing up together and they shared this massive treehouse where they had a massive round table and heard the stories of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. This helped solidify their bond until adulthood where each of them have found their passion in their company, Camelot enterprises.
Necie Navone is a new author to me but I’m completely hooked and can’t wait for more from her. This is the first book in her Brother’s of Camelot series and I’m dying to get my hand on the second one.
This story follows Drake and Isabella. Both have always had this bond but broken hearts have separated the two until they cross paths as adults. Drake has always longed for Isabella and he has always believed she is the one for him. Isabella has had a rough go with heartbreaks and they can only heal one another.
This was most definitely a 5 Star read and I can’t wait to see what Miss Navone has in store for book 2!

The Only One by Necie Navone is a great opening to her Brothers of Camelot series! I fell in love with her writing and I will be reading her My Life Series while waiting for the next installments of the series! The Only One is the story of Drake “Fitz” and Isabella “Bella” – the Beast and the Beauty … Fitz is part of a group of twelve boys – Brothers of Camelot – and they have been inseparable since they were kids. They have been able to stay true to their adopted knightly code of the Round Table and they are there for each other, no matter what! And it is not just something theoretical! They formed Camelot Enterprises where each and every one of them has their own role and it does not matter who brought in the most money … I absolutely loved this concept! Bella is … well, she is this four year old girl that fell in love with a six year old Fitz promising that she will marry him when she grows up … Well, obviously life does not very often go as we dream so Bella and Fitz got separated when Bella was seventeen and Fitz does not believe himself to be worthy of her so he adopted his infamous “One and Done” man whore principle to carry himself through life … it all grows old though and just before his 26th birthday he decides that it is time to find out where Bella is … but no more about the story, you need to pick it up yourself to find out how the story of the Beast and the Beauty ends! I loved the writing style and the banter and Bella’s inability to swear! Her tries to swear simply cracked me up! I could not put the story down and read it in one sitting and I am sooo happy that there are 12 “brothers” as now I have 11 more stories to look forward to!

Montgomery – Review by Emily Brockschmidt
This is the fifth book in this series, it is about Soren and life after Angela. I have always liked Soren and was happy to read what happened to him. I loved how he just decided to fly to Costa Rica at a whim but what will happen when an accident decides to take away his passion for life? When love comes knocking at his door again, will he open up his heart to her? He took me on an emotional roller coaster ride and I highly recommend you reading his story.

Beckoned, Part 5: Adrift in Costa Rica is a contemporary romance that tells the story of Soren and Elena. Soren is in Costa Rica looking for a big change in his life to heal his broken heart. He finds himself in a small coastal town in Costa Rica. He emerges himself in the life of the town, learning the language, to surf and became like a local. Then he meets Elena. She is from Costa Rica who also surfs but does not want to get involved with Soren. Will she have a change of heart and open up herself to Soren?
Aviva Vaughn did it again, another hit in the Beckoned Series. Her writing captures you from the first page. Her writing is descriptive, where you feel like you are right along side the characters. The writing flows and keeps you engaged. Ms. Vaughn’s characters are well developed and are very believable. What a great story, you feel as if you were in Costa Rica too. I highly recommend it as well as the whole Beckoned Series.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Book 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery 4 Stars
Fat Girl is a story of one woman’s journey of rediscovery and self acceptance. She is a writer and blogger who has a syndicated column in the NY Times. After her divorce she seeks therapy and though she loathes herself in the beginning of the book, by the end she accepts who she is and finds love along the way. It is an enlightening and inspiring story.
The Flip is a nice romantic comedy. Two old rivals inherit a house. After deciding to put their past behind them, they decide to work together to flip the house; seeing as they both need the money. The two couldn’t be more different but as the saying goes, opposites attract. This book is filled with eccentric neighbours to Mother Nature having tantrums. I laughed from beginning to end.
This is another romantic comedy that takes place backstage of a theatre production. Crazy things happen which force the director to create a “Plot Twist”. Love happens between a neurotic accountant and a clumsy woman. It is a quick, light read.
K.L Montgomery has a way of writing. She’ll have you crying one minute and laughing the next. This boxed set is definitely worth the read.

I have to say this is one of the BEST books that I have read this year and I have read over 400! It was a brilliant read. I loved everything from the writing, to the plot, to the characters – it all just added up to make a story that was hard to put down and had me sucked in from the very beginning. I was a little bit hooked after reading the blurb, I knew it would be different to what I usually read – it also one of those books that hard to review because you don’t want to give away too many spoilers. What I will say was that it was an exciting read, with some fantastic twists and turns. I loved Larkin (our MC) I thought that she was great, a real alpha female in the workplace but had a softer side when it came to those who she loved. She had an amazing inner strength that I really admired. Who is a fantastic, complex, gritty story that absolutely deserves the 5 stars I give it – I cannot recommend it enough and urge everyone to one click it today!! This is also my first read by his author and will absolutely not be my last! I can’t wait for more from this series!
I do love a good sports romance story so I was really looking forward to reading this one. It was one of those hard to put down stories and ok maybe it was a little predictable but I was still wrapped up in Lexi and Brett’s story. I loved the connection they had even if they didn’t know it! I loved the love/hate relationship and the banter they had between them. I really liked Lexi, her job was obviously really important to her (got to be honest I would love her job) she was hard working, passionate and very driven. I loved that she wasn’t going to back down to Brett, I think the more he pushed her to apologise the less likely it was that she was going to! I think it was pretty obvious where the connection as going to lead with these two and it did lead to some pretty steamy moments! I really liked the author’s easy going writing style, the story flowed well and I really enjoyed the characters. I would love to read more from her in the future.

Painting Kuwait Violet was a really intriguing read. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I first started but it really was such an eye opening read. I think we all know that these things happen in the real world but to read about it in such a way that made it so real was quite hard. I can’t imagine having to live my life the way that the characters in this story do, to know that you are just as equal as men but can’t show it must be soul destroying. The author’s writing style was really engaging and at times very real. I was really captivated by the read and I was impressed. I haven’t read anything by this author previously but I would definitely like to read more in the future.
This trilogy includes the three books Alterations, Game Changer and Primal Will.
Alterations I loved this book! It was a nice break from my usual romance genres. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it in all honesty but the blurb really intrigued me and it didn’t take long to be completely sucked into it! I still can’t decide if I should like Dr Kite or not?? Half of me did and the other half was thinking what a psycho! Although if someone wanted to implant one of those weight-loss chips in me that I think I might consider it!! It is a fast paced book and the writing style of the author reflected this well in my opinion. It does jump about between characters but it’s all tied up during the later stages of the story. I found it easy to keep up with and I think it would have made a really good full length novel too!
Game Changer
I loved book 1 in this series, it was so different to anything I had read so I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved that each chapter again was short and to the point and that we got to see how each character was getting on. I had a feeling that there were going to be a few twists and turns in the story and I was right! I had no idea what was going to happen and the author kept me guessing the whole way through. The author’s unique writing style is really engaging, you don’t get bored with long chapters, everything moves at a good pace and my interest was kept all the way through. I love the girls in the story and enjoyed reading about their lives after the implants but the character who I love reading about the most is Dr Kite! His chapters are the shortest but he is the most intriguing!
Primal Will
I couldn’t wait to begin book 3 just to find out what was going to happen with Dr Kite! Throughout all of the stories he is the one I have been most intrigued with – is he trying to do good or is he actually manipulative and evil? I think that he is one of those characters where you kind of have to make up your own mind about him. I will say that I did see a slight different side to him in this story and I think that everything came full circle for all of the characters involved. It was a brilliant ending to this trilogy.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) Phoebe Alexander 5 out of 5 stars
One thing I’ve come to really appreciate in this series is Phoebe Alexander’s use of applicable quotes at the beginning of each of her chapters. I’ve always been a fan of a good quote and the effort put into this aspect of the series hasn’t been lost on me. I mentioned in a previous review that I had read the third book of this series first, they read really well as stand alone stories. Once again it was cool to see the familiar faces I knew in book 3 and more of their background, Casey, Leah, Cap. Paisley’s character is my favorite thus far, her story has a little bit of everything sex, danger, her character is fun and charismatic despite her colorful, mysterious past. I was roped in from beginning to end and I felt that Calvin and Paisley really worked well together. Honestly, such a well rounded story with a sexy, strong, confident leading lady, I would certainly recommend!

The Catch started off as a stimulating, romantic book two in the Eastern Shore Swingers series but eventually morphed a bit into a suspenseful mystery. There is someone targeting one of the members, Paisley, and making threats, and it escalates! Paisley may be sensually adventurous, but she’s pretty alone. She definitely thinks her bosses and Calvin can’t really want to be close to her for who she really is. What I like about Calvin is that he’s open-minded but won’t compromise on what he feels he deserves in a relationship. We also get to see how Leah, Cap, and Casey are doing. I enjoyed this, this series is really unlike others I’ve read.

Give and Take was a very funny love story! I mean, there were some laugh out loud moments in there. Wyatt is a pleasant surprise- with how stuffy and quiet he seems in the beginning, I loved seeing other sides to him. He definitely is thoughtful, has a sense of humor, and cares very deeply. Rhia is a girl who has no idea how cool and fun she is, or how those are positives. My heart breaks for her, but also there’s a strength in her for having put up with criticism for so long and still being her quirky, adorable self. This is book two in a series, but I was able to read it as a stand alone. However, now I really want to read ALL the others. I hope every sibling gets a book!

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery
5 Stars
I have read all of the Rehoboth books, totally out of order but I have read them and I’ve loved every single one of them as with anything I read by this author…Just a note about this author…She is beyond amazing and is in my top 5 favorites..She actually has a book out that is absolutely in my top 5 of all time.. So back to this series…
Fat Girl – This one touched me in a completely different way then the rest…Connecting to the main character was simple as there were times in my life I was in a position that I felt like all of the words and feelings in this book were my own. I found myself getting so angry at Claire and just wanting to slap her, but on the other hand I really felt like she was very strong and confident in who she was even when she wasn’t happy with how she looked. I really loved how this story was told and how real everything felt. I appreciated the building of friendships and I especially liked that there was no love at first site, I really truly never got a feel for what might happen and with who till the very end, and this was different…Normally it is very apparent what will happen and who it will happen with. I laughed out loud many times throughout as well…Her comebacks to messages received cracked me up.
The Flip – I am absolutely in love with this book. The interaction between Andrew and Sonnet (competitive adversaries since childhood) and what they thought of each other cracked me up. I loved the way the story unfolded while giving us tidbits of the past and how these two arch enemies became the way they were. The author was really creative with the hilarious obstacles that kept popping up while they were redoing the house left to them, from millipedes to rusty nails, sinkholes and then oh my goodness an alligator in Delaware. I laughed out loud so many times. This book just plain made me feel good, I Loved It!!!!
Plot Twist – This is Meric and Lindy’s story, two people who aren’t perfect, just one of the reasons I love this author so very much…These two both dealing with their own issues made me fall in love with them just like every other character that this author writes about. She never shies away from letting these women be real and deal with real issues as far as their bodies are concerned..I can’t even begin to explain how refreshing that is. I loved this story and the return of the characters from previous books was something I loved, they didn’t just make a quick appearance, they were part of the story. I fell in love also with Lindy’s parents and with the way Lindy treated her parents.
Each one of these stories are solid no doubt about it 5 star books and I can’t recommend them enough, read the whole series and I just know you will fall in love with this author as I have. She’s amazing and makes every story feel like you are right there watching them all unfold.

Montgomery – Review by Debi Kircher
This trilogy starts off with Alterations and is easy to read. It is a story about 3 different women with 3 different situations. Dr. Kite seems like a hero with his “alterations” for the women. Game Changer is book two and continues the story with Lilly, Ellen and Gigi. We learn how their lives have changed with their alterations from book 1. It is an interesting and intriguing read. The trilogy finishes up with Primal Will, which has a slightly twisted ending, so keep reading! Over all this trilogy was pretty good.

ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen are a Sci Fi trilogy that are quick and easy reads.
Alterations is an interesting short tale and is full of suspense and mystery. The story is told in multiple POV’s which gives us the readers a better understanding of what the characters think, why they do what they do. Like our good doctor, Dr Kite. Is he a genius or is he Dr Frankenstein? Is he clever or is he crazy? And just what is he doing to people?
Game Changer: Book 2 holds you from start to finish. This book carries on in the same vein but has an under current of mystery and feels a tad sinister and I expect everything that is coming will end in an explosive way.
Primal Will: Book 3 is the last book in the trilogy and one that pulls a punch. Jane’s writing style and her plots keep you engaged every step of the way. Dr Kite is in the forefront of the story once again but is he still evil or will he trade it in a become Mr Nice? To find out you will just have to read this trilogy.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that is as enticing as it is sexy. I have not read on thing from Phoebe that I have not liked and this one makes you fall in love with our protagonist and relate to her on a personal level. Right from the start you are drawn in and Phoebe has done a great job in keeping the chills and drama, suspense and thrills flowing and emotions high. We find ourselves reading about a woman who is happy in her own skin and wears it well but deep down there is more going on but will she be able to face the truth and move on? There are hot and steamy scenes that will curl your toes and romance and laughter. It was also nice to check in on old friends, Leah, Cap and Casey from the first book. All of this makes for a good follow on and enjoyable read.

The Only One (The Brothers of Camelot Book 1) by Necie Navone is a story that will blow you away and make you fall in love with these wonderful characters. Right from the start you are drawn in and find yourself wanting to be a part of their world. Necie is a talented writer and keeps the suspense flowing and emotions high. There are moments when tensions are so high I found myself on the edge of my seat. Other times I found myself laughing and thinking of good times. Overall this is a great start to the series and if the rest of the series is anything like this first book then Necie will have a winner for awards. Necie has written her heart and soul in these characters and the plot is spot on and fast paced but you are able to follow along without any problems. I need me some more of the Camelot Brothers. Well done Necie!

Interesting novel. The most impressive part of the book is Pillar and the challenges she faces in her life, in the way her coming-of-age story explores identity. Pillar is a girl who is trying to find her place in a world surrounded by people with power. Everyone around her has power, but to be mundane, to be a null, especially with a mother who wasn’t, it complicates her life and, in ways, makes her an outcast. Which is unfortunate. But that’s also what makes Pillar strong. Pillar faces adversity from all around her, along with demons. Pillar is a great voice for a generation that often feels ignored. She has spent her whole life being put down only to rise in the face of adversity and challenge it, and that’s what makes her great, that challenge, that’s what makes her shine in the novel.
The added element of this hidden power she has within her, it also makes her compelling because it’s not a power she needs to define her, it’s just power she happens to have, the power that was hidden from everyone around her. And that’s great because it adds history to the novel, it adds context to the universe this story is being told in.
Now, the other characters in the novel, well the fact is that there are just too many. Some of them are great, but some of the dynamics between the characters, they don’t get to flourish as they should have. There’s just so much story crammed into this one novel that it almost feels like two novels are trying to coexist and squeeze together. Now, that’s only due to the pace of the book and the scene dynamics. There’s just so much richness in the scenes and story that once the door opens for exploration, its shut and the reader is shoved down a hall towards another door. That’s the biggest fault of the novel, this idea that so much had to be crammed into it for M.K. Theodoratus to tell this story and adventure of Pillar.
Despite that, however, the story is inventive and does provide readers a unique urban fantasy. It has a context to it and many great characters that make it a fun story. The story could have easily been 200 pages longer max, and it wouldn’t have dragged out the story. There’s just so much happening, and the level of detail makes the readers eager for something that doesn’t fully get explored. Pillar’s continuously moving in the novel and so it the reader. Roots are not forming here, but that might be intentional since Pillar is searching for roots of her own, a history of her own. So on that level, the reader can truly connect to the main character in a powerful way which is what makes the story, in the end, compelling.

The Alterations Trilogy is a thought provoking and interesting read by Jane Suen. I would categorize it a science fiction story that is a little mysterious and suspenseful. It is a very quick, easy read.
The trilogy consists of: -Alterations (Book #1) -Game Changer (Book #2) -Primal Will (Book #3)
An overview of the series: We meet Ellen, Gigi and Lilly who are all desperate to change aspects of themselves, in the hope of finding happiness. This is where Dr. Kite offers a procedure that he assures them will change their life. The procedure involves having an implant imbedded into them; the implant then controls their mind and alters them from the inside out. Will Ellen lose the weight she’s so desperate to rid herself of, find the self-respect she’s after and get a little romance in the process? Will Gigi find the true love she been yearning for? And can Lilly finally cast aside all the bitterness she harbours from her nasty divorce? An implant sound like such a simple way of fixing a multitude of problems. Could it really be that easy? Is there a catch? As we progress through the story and follow the women and Dr. Kite through their experiences we discover that there is a little more to the story than first meets the eye. With unforeseen issues, a couple of faulty chips, plots, and hidden agendas this trilogy kept me avidly reading to discover all the suspenseful and dramatic details. This was an interesting concept and gave me a lot to think about. The plot is quite complex and even with each book being a very quick and easy read, the story never lost momentum, but I would have liked a little more depth and character details/backstory- especially in the first book. But as the series progressed and the story evolved, I did enjoy it much more. I look forward to seeing what Ms. Suen does next.

The Boss written by Abigail Owen is the beginning to a great series. The characters were well written and the story was great it had push and pull to keep you guessing and wanting more. You knew something was coming but you didn’t know how bad it would be or the outcome. With Finn’s past he’s terrified to let anyone close especially women, definitely not a human woman. But then again he’s never met someone like Delany, the human who’s showing signs but doesn’t carry the mark. The dragon enforcers aren’t quite sure what to do with her but Finn knows he doesn’t want to let her go. I liked the ending it gives you closure but also the possibility of more, it could go either way. There is another story out :The Mate that I have not read yet but I want to now.

5 Star Credence Woods By Alexandria Sure is a romantic comedy that I literally couldn’t put down till I finished. I was hooked from the beginning all the way to the end. I freaking love Kennedy’s character she’s had a transformation with her weight and is also a workaholic. I can totally relate to her and her need to have control. But she does have a pretty amazing assistant who helps her out. Kennedy meets someone unexpectedly and finds out not everything is as it seems. Can she handle not having control?I found myself laughing at times but I also felt sad at times.i highly recommend this book especially if you want to know what happens. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

5 Star Running from Demons By M.K. Theodoratus is a fantasy/coming of age book.This is my first read by this Author and it won’t be my last. I truly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down once I got started.This is the story about Pillar Beccon. She’s a young girl trying to find out more of her moms past. I found myself relating to Pillar at times. She’s a stubborn yet independent and one who cares about others. Pillar is also a null or someone without magic . She doesn’t always get treated the best by other people. Gryerrque is demon whom discovers pillar and what she is. Will pillar find out why her mom left her family?Does Gryerrque capture Pillar?

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It’s the first in a new series and I will be reading future installments for sure. This was a great set-up introducing “The Brothers of Camelot”.
Each brother has a unique back story and the THE ONLY ONE introduces Fitz and Bella. SWOON. He is a classic Alpha and was fun to read.
Their story is one of humor and romance and friendship. Gosh their friendship is something that is absolutely “pinky swear” worthy.
The story held my attention all the way through and while introducing all of the subcharacters, the author was able to disclose just enough about them to make me super curious.
I look forward to reading more about the “Brothers”.

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book 1 by Alexa Summers and AJ Phoenix
Four Stars
This story had me in fits of laughter. Lexi is a goldmine. She was so honest about the reason behind her career choice. Honestly that sounds like a awful job seeing all those hot athletes in their birthday suits said no woman ever. Lol. I didn’t like the way Brett went about his revenge. Plus he never told Lexi. This story is perfect for a smooth read. Something you can sit down and enjoy without feeling like your wasting your time.The relationship between the characters was only tarnished by the secrets. They seemed real and perfect for each other. It’s crazy how our emotions drive us to do things we never would normally. For all intents and purposes Brett was a good guy he just got caught up in a foolish plot for revenge. Lexi was so vulnerable even though she portrayed such an outgoing and carefree persona. I felt like I glided through this story. It was very well written. Will most definitely check out more books from this author. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is book two of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book can be read as a standalone. This book is really intended for readers 18+ due to subject content. I was pleasantly surprised to find out when I started reading that this book is pretty suspenseful. It definitely adds some layers to the book that really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens.
As with book one, this book invites you to join the characters at a very specific type of club and the book really does a great job detailing the club and it’s activities so you feel like you’re right there. Paisley is very self-assured. She draws people in with that trait. She manages to draw Calvin in and it’s truly the last thing she wants. Relationships aren’t for her and she stands pretty firm on that. Will Paisley be able to rely on someone other than herself when he past comes back when she least expects it? Will Calvin be able to protect Paisley and convince her of their future?
Paisley doesn’t avoid relationships for no good reason. She tries to stand her ground as a way to protect Calvin just as Calvin is protective of her. I really enjoyed the depth the characters had and the chemistry between them. Paisley felt so real. She was flawed but she was aware of it and knew it was something she needed to work on for herself. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book.

Hidden (Ash Park #4) by Meghan O’Flynn was another dark, gritty, tale that will give me nightmares.
The fourth book in the Ash Park series, and I didn’t think it could get any more, sinnister. Taking place two years after Repressed, an old foe has reservice, or rather, got sloppy and is once again on Petrosky’s and Morrison’s radar. This time the stress, guilt, and addiction is taking its toll on Petrosky, will this be his last case, or simply be his last….?
There is only so much the mind can take, and I will tell you that binge-reading this series has put me on the darker side of humanity. As much as I love this series, I found myself putting this book down, to regroup, look at kittens, before I could continue on. They say real life is stranger than fiction, well then you haven’t read anything from Meghan O’Flynn yet. This book is up there with some of the darkest of Criminal Minds episodes; and frankly, this whole series would make one hell of a TV series, or movie collection.
Meghan O’Flynn again has captured me with superb writing, and the ability to keep the tension, and suspense high with every word that is written. And not just around the killer, but around Petrosky. His mind has always been in a dark place because of his daughters gruesome death, but in this book, he’s on the edge. Every victim is her, every missing girl is her, every little girl/child he can’t save is her. That subplot got me hard in the feels, I know what it’s like to lose a family member to murder, it’s a pain that never heals. Petrosky, as a parent, won’t let himself heal, and that’s driving him to be self-destructive and losing his fight to be apart of the world. This book is a hard raw emotional read, that rips out your heart, stomps on it, only to repeat the process over and over.
Overall I give this book and series my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s one for the ages, and one that will leave you wondering why cops do what they do, and if you should be locking your family up and throwing away the key.
The Only One (Brothers of Camelot book 1) by Necie Navone 4 stars
Ive never read a book by this author and after finishing it I can’t give you a reason why other than she must have been hiding from me! I really enjoyed this book overall, it only had a couple parts where it felt repetitive but it didn’t take away from the story whatsoever. This revolves around Drake and Bella, and we get dual POV for this, which I LOVE! They were childhood best friends and while Drake made it known to hop beds, Bella was always waiting for him to take the next step with her. Years pass and with a big surprise they’re reunited.
I can’t wait to read more of these Camelot brothers, it seems like such a great group and each with a story to tell.
