Hayley Mize is a small-town girl with goals and dreams. A product of the system, she’s used to keeping her head down and making her way through life unseen. She doesn’t make waves. She doesn’t do anything that could possibly attract the wrong attention. The night she goes to a party with her friend, Elsa, at the Poseidon’s Warriors MC clubhouse, those dreams go up in smoke.

Gannon Brooks wasn’t looking for more than a little bit of fun that night. He had no clue who he took to bed, and his efforts to find the pretty little brunette prove fruitless. Restless, he sets out on a sabbatical of sorts to clear his head while checking on a new area for his club, Poseidon’s Warriors MC, to relocate their main chapter. He never expects to see her again and when he does, he’s blindsided.

Can two people who are opposites rekindle their one night together? Will Hayley’s news draw him in or send him running? When a life-altering event happens, will it bring them together or push them apart?

Brooks and Hayley are fire. They burn up the pages of Brooks’ Bride by Darlene Tallman. The chemistry between the two main characters is like an inferno. Tallman has a way of making you keep turning the pages and forgetting what time it is.

Tallman entices you with her words, making you fall in love with her characters. She breaks your heart, makes you laugh, makes you invested in her characters (both main and side). Tallman has an mesmerizing way of looping in characters that draws you in, making you need more.

Darlene Tallman keeps upping her game with each book she writes. I can’t wait for her next book. If you’re looking for a read that encodes all of your emotions then I recommend one clicking Brooks’ Bride now.
