Celina: Connelly Cousins Book 1 Kindle Edition

She's everything he ever wanted. And nothing he deserves.

When Celina Connelly returns to Birch Falls several years after her parents’ deaths, she’s not sure she’s going to stay. Nothing has changed, and yet everything is different. Or maybe living at home with her overprotective brother and working in the town library just isn’t enough.

When Celina meets Jamie McCullough, she knows right away that he’s a nice guy. The problem is, Jamie wants more than just the friendship she's offering. Celina is saving herself for the all-inclusive, heart-pounding, breath-stealing kind of magic that comes with finding the right one.

The kind she feels when she meets Jamie’s brother, Kyle.

The dark, brooding biker is all wrong for someone like her, and yet from the moment they meet, Celina knows Kyle is the one she’d been waiting for.


Kyle McCullough is the ultimate bad boy. He likes his machines fast and his women faster. When his younger brother comes to him for advice on seduction, Kyle laughs it off, believing no woman can be as perfect as Jamie makes her out to be.

He’s wrong. Not only is Celina beautiful and sexy, she’s got the class of a lady and the soul of a biker. She's the only woman who's ever made him want more.

But it will never work. She’s far too good for him. And Kyle doesn’t do good girls.

Love Abbie’s Connelly books. Read books two and three of the cousins before number one, but just knew like all Abbie’s stories it wouldn’t disappoint.
Celina was any mans’ dream girl. However, for the cynical bad boy Kyle she was just too good to be true. Like a moth to flame he keeps meeting with her. Till he burns his bridges and then realises he just lost himself the best thing to happen to him.
If someone’s your soul mate there’s no stopping the inevitable pairing with these Connellys, as Kyle has come to find out.

It's a great love story, even though it left me wondering if his extreme cynicism will be a problem when the inevitable conflicts arise, in their marriage. Since Abbie also likes to write about women with near insurmountable issues and does so with great success, I'd love to see how she has her characters deal with the rescue of gangrape victim. In addition to struggling with her ptsd, she is determined to keep the baby that resulted from her repeated rapes. I think Abbie would be ideal for writing a story with the necessary sensitivity and intelligence required for such a triumph over tragedy. What do you say Abbie?

I am not into brothers dating same woman but this book was done in a way that I did not feel betrayal. It was a very good bad boy being won over by good girl ala 'Grease'.

Spoilers ahead proceed with caution:)

It starts with us getting a clip of a future scene where the anti hero rejects our poor heroine. It's brutal and probably can be read in a sample provided by Amazon Kindle.

Then the story begins. Heroine dated hero's little brother but instantly their was something there between them. The good thing is they don't act on it until both are available. We will learn that her relationship with the little brother wasn't that special and how as bad as hero thought he was he really knew her better. Unfortunately our heroine has it bad and lays her heart out on her sleeve, but hero has so many issues he keeps running from something so perfect. But if anyone knows my reviews I can tell you I can take a lot of things from a bad boy as long as they are loyal and from when they finally start skirting around each other he was loyal.

So expect to be frustrated, angry, dejected and sad in this roller-coaster ride, but in the end they were perfect for each other. Safe read. Hero was heroine's one and only. Steamy parts. Not light read.

Zum Inhalt:
Celina -Lina für ihre Freunde- hat genau davon zu wenige... Freunde! Sie liebt ihren ältere Bruder, sie mag ihre Leben, sie kommt mit ihrem Job klar, sie hat einen Bekannten Jamie, für den sie nicht genug empfindet, um sich ganz auf ihn einzulassen und sie weiß, das etwas in ihrem Leben fehlt. Sie will, was ihre Eltern hatten bevor sie viel zu früh gestorben sind - sie will ihren Seelenverwandten, ihr Herz, den einen, der alles für sie ist und für den sie alles ist.
Kyle ist der typische Bad Boy, Biker, er liebt sein Leben, die Frauen, die Parties und seinen kleinen Bruder Jamie, wenn der nur nicht so verdammt spießig wäre... Und nun auch noch das, ausgerechnet sein kleiner Bruder will seinen Rat, weil er bei einer Frau nicht landen kann? Eher ungern lässt sich Kyle darauf ein, diese angeblich unschuldige, reine, wundervolle (bla bla bla... wo gibt es denn noch sowas mit 25??) Jungfrau kennenzulernen. Doch als er dann Celina trifft, trifft es ihn auch und zwar mitten ins Herz, von dem er nicht gewusst hat, dass es überhaupt zu solchen Gefühlen fähig ist....
Aber Lina ist die Frau seines kleinen Bruders, oder???

Fazit:
Hier trifft weibliche irische Sturheit auf "bad ass biker" und das mit all dem gewohnten und erwarteten Wortwitz.
Ich habe das Buch in einem Rutsch gelesen, konnte es nicht weglegen und habe jede Seite genossen :-)
Es ist ein kleines feiner Märchen, wie gewohnt mit "happily ever after" (etwas anderes kennt man von Abbie Zanders auch nicht) - zum Glück. Die Protas sind liebenswert, süß, machen Lust auf mehr und mehr werden wir bekommen, denn zum einen hat Lina 2 Brüder und (für alle die die Geschichten noch nicht kennen) Lina hat 7 Cousins, die ganz in der Nähe wohnen und ebenfalls auf der wahren Liebe sind, nach ihrer Seelenverwandten, nach ihrem "croie". (The Callaghan Brothers!)

I loved Lina und Kyle's story. Both had to overcome great loss and they balance each other. I read it more than once because it's a great story with great characters.
