WORTH THE WAIT
Ella Tipton is a survivor. In the wake of an attack that nearly left her dead, she has spent each day putting her life back together. Once vibrant and outgoing, she's needed to reclaim the best parts of who she was while retaining the hard-won lessons. There hasn't been room for any romantic entanglements, even if she were ready. Still, it doesn't mean she has to stop sneaking looks at Mister Tall, Dark and Tattooed himself.
Security professional Andrew Copeland isn't quite sure when his jones for the lovely and decidely skittish Ella developed. He's known her for years, has watched her triumph over the pain she's been dealt. Cope is no stranger to women, but he knows the nervous flush he gets every time he talks to Ella is different from any attraction he's had in the past. Determined to get Ella to let him in, Cope does the one thing he can think of to get close: he offers her hands-on training in self-defense.
While Ella's sure Cope is just being nice, the prospect of being able to touch him and and gain the tools to push away the last vestiges of her fear is more than she can resist. Soon enough, Cope shows Ella his feelings are far more than friendly, and he reignites something deep inside her. It isn't long before desire and love turn them both inside out..
While I really liked books 1 and 2 this story of Andrew and Ella I totally adored from beginning to end... It was an interesting relationship between the obvious "pretty boy" and the "fractured" young woman who had lost her way in the past when a bad relationship went so very wrong it almost cost her life!The entire series is about family, the one we are born into and the one we are blessed we that we choose among our closest friends... Family is something that means everything to "Cope" and he works hard to be the mediator for everyone when they need a helping hand... He is a man with an amiable demeanor that hides just how complicated a person he really is... His close friends, his brother and even his mother and father do not see inside to his deepest hopes and dreams... Ella Tipton has had fantasies starring Andrew Copeland for years... They have exchanged friendly smiles and a word here and there for six years and now Ella finds herself wanting more at the same time Andrew starts to show a spark of interest in her that is a little bit more than "friendly"!The relationship that develops between these two is a truly priceless look into what can happen when people take the time to look beyond the surface and see inside out what the other is made up of!The continuation of the side stories of the other characters once again allow us to glimpse the deep relationships between the Brown siblings Brody, Adrian and Ella and their significant others... Along the way we also see how these fictional people take care of each other and their friends and family, it is a heartwarming wrenching story which is well worth reading again! Come September the final chapter of the Brown Siblings saga will come to a close with the story of Adrian, rock star brother and as enigmatic a man as you will ever hope to meet... When NEVER ENOUGH comes out I know I will be buying my copy ASAP!AUTHOR'S SITE WITH MORE BOOK INFO
