Review: Braced: A Second Chance Romance (Brody Brothers Book 2) by Stacy Gail

Review of Braced: A Second Chance Romance (Brody Brothers Book 2) by Stacy Gail



Lilah has been in love with Fin (Finian) Brody forever. When she finally gives him the only thing she can give him, he takes that gift and breaks her heart right after. Now, months later, he is suddenly realizing what he lost, and he's determined to get her back, no matter how much she fights him on it. Sigh...


Now, don't get me wrong, I love me a determined alpha as much as the next person, but Fin wasn't just determined, he was an asshole, plain and simple. I understand (explained too late in the story, though) why he had such an aversion to love, but it didn't excuse his behavior the night he broke poor Lilah's heart. If I were her, I would have taken his cruel words to heart, and would never have let him back into my life, no matter how persistent he was. Because the way he treated her was absolutely unacceptable regardless of his reason for having no time in his life for love. So, as much as I liked some of the characters (Lilah, Casey, Fin's brother Killian) in this story, I absolutely could not stand Fin and could not understand why Lilah took him back.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
