Sheltered good girl Victoria Raine has always wanted to be a little bad. Tired of living life safely on the sidelines, she summons the courage to forge a new path for herself and applies to the FBI, looking for adventure and something to fulfill her vague longing for something…more. She gets more than she bargained for with her first undercover assignment—posing as the girlfriend of country music’s bad boy, Drake Maddox, a lone wolf with a reputation for having singularly erotic tastes. Hoping to catch a serial killer that’s targeting women close to Drake, Tori’s job is to convince the public, and the killer, that she and the wickedly handsome superstar are an item.
Although their relationship is a sham, there’s nothing fake about the hidden desires the sexy as sin cowboy awakens in Tori. As the killer draws closer, Tori finds herself falling for the one man she can’t have.
**Shameless can be read as a standalone novel**
Each book in the Black Brothers Trilogy focuses on a different brother and his story and can be read independently, although the books interconnect.
I received an ARC copy for an honest review of this book.
Wow! Talk about a HOT book. The battery on my iPad actually died while I was reading this and I screamed a very loud “NOOOOOOO” at the screen. I couldn’t wait until the morning to find out what happened to Tori and Drake. There is some light BDSM in this book, so if that sort of thing is not your cup of tea, don’t bother.
The black in the 5 stars is for the “Black Brothers Trilogy” – get it, Black brothers, black stars…
Brynley Bush has surprised me and made me a fan. Tori is an FBI Agent who is assigned to Drake Maddox, a super hot country singer. Female fans are disappearing from Drake’s concerts and Tori is going to help catch the sick individual. Tori took a chance, ran far from her father’s business and into the door of the FBI. She is new to the agency and needs to prove herself. This case is her chance, except no one believes this petite, home-town girl can do the job. Little do they know. (Insert evil laugh) Before Tori can be the strong, dependable agent, she needs to find herself. All of herself, including her courage. On the verge of being kicked off the case, she goes to Drake, the beautiful, amazingly sexy country singer to ask him to help her find the courage to be reckless, brave and strong. Drake does it with a power exchange. He helps Tori see another side to herself and in turn, helps Drake see a side to himself he didn’t know existed. Only then can Tori focus on being the agent to solve the case and find the sick person who is kidnapping female fans.
I found Drake to be very mysterious, not trusting the character until the end. He is written very well and since the relationship was supposed to be a fake one for the sake of the stalker, at times I didn’t know if Drake was serious or playing the role of the boyfriend, but all is revealed in due time. And it will make you happy. You even get to meet his brothers, each has their own books written for them so if you like this book, check out the first two. I know I am! The family bond is strong and I appreciate stories like that. I love the strong family who has each other’s back.
The sex scenes are amazing and tasteful. Got me squirming in my seat at time too. Drake is a god to Tori, always taking care of her needs. Always, but she needs to trust him! Well, just like a good Dom would I guess.
I found the ending to be predictable, the part where the stalker was revealed. Either that or I am a good guesser, but I felt the climax of the stalker meeting Drake was a little predictable. I was yelling at Tori when she was in the hotel room but she obviously didn’t hear me tell her to turn around and run away. Thank goodness for her phone though.
I give Brynley Bush and “Shameless” 5 stars! Looking forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy.
