Bound, Branded & Brazen by Jaci Burton

Spring is upon us and the days are getting longer and weather you're sitting on the veranda, the subway or in your favorite chair, reading a good book is a great way to spend your time. So if you're looking for a good book to read might I suggest Bound, Branded & Brazen by Jaci Burton?

Jaci Burton is an author who gets it right every time. Her books are filled with three dimensional characters, interesting relationships, smart dialogue and lots of heat. In Bound, Branded & Brazen you have three interconnecting novellas about three sisters and their journey to repairing their bonds to each other, which is reason enough to read this one. However, in addition to three great story lines about three strong and independent siblings who share a history and a legacy, you also get three great heroes who eventually enhance and make sweeter the lives of our heroines. Three for the price of one? You can't beat it with a stick.

These three cleverly interconnecting novellas tell the story of the Oklahoma McMasters sisters, Valerie, Brea and Jolene. The sisters couldn't be more different. Valerie is a doctor, Brea's a computer geek, and Jolene runs the family ranch. Coming together after years apart highlights their differences but also underlines the foundation and framework of their familial ties. Being sisters isn't always easy. The love you have for one another is often tested by the differences that make you unique and all three women have to find a way to understand each other after years apart. In addition, add to the mix, falling in love and you have a great premise for a contemporary romance that is filled with joy, heartache, romance and passion.

Ms. Burton's books always have a lot of heat to them, but this sexual energy is always balanced by her great ability to put in words the deeper underlying relationships between the characters. In other words, Ms. Burton can write; and her books are a pleasure to read. And while her stories are simple, straight forward contemporary romances, it's because they are so clean and crisp that you get caught up in the world she creates. She gives each story room to breathe so you gain an intimate knowledge of the motivations behind each character and you want to know more about them. Each novella in BB&B is a gem onto itself, but together you get a satisfying over all story-line about sisters who band together, the men who will love them forever and a group of people who belong together.

So dear reader, if you're looking for a well written contemporary romance by an author who knows her stuff, with three different stories that connect to each other, three free-spirited autonomous women, three strong willed men and an HEA with lots of heat might I suggest Bound Branded & Brazen by Jaci Burton.
