bedfellows. It’s the holidays and it will take a Christmas miracle to get

meet in the middle and not throw away their life together or the love they have

Author
Lee Brazil delivers a wonderful follow up to Keeping House, book one in the
Truth or Dare series. I loved seeing how all the Blakes’ are doing as well as
their respective partners. Mr. Brazil delivers a wonderful story about choices,
love, family and more all set around the holidays. Secrets, desires, dreams and
more make up this heart warming story as Mischa and Donovan find out that
dreams can become nightmares as well as change within the blink of an eye. The
story is full of twists and turns that leave me itching for the next book by
this wonderful author. The Truth or Dare series is one series I NEED to buy on
release day. The characters are well written, with flaws and all & the
stories are emotional yet also realistic as well.
Welcome
back to the Blake Siblings poker game. Mischa Blake is tired, stressed out and
running on fumes. Between taking care of a special needs child with his
partner, he is trying to finish college so he can start a new job in the New
Year as well as make sure his new foundation is off the ground. It doesn’t
leave time for well, romance, sleep or anything else he used to have time for.
Donovan is determined to make Mischa figure out where his priorities lie as he
tries to shield their son from the hurt of Mischa’s absences. What I love about
Mischa and Donovan is that they truly love one another but both need to figure
out what works for them as a couple and as a person. With a special needs child,
a man who is determined to be the bread winner regardless of his partners
desire to help out money wise, can cause significant issues in a relationship.
Mr. Brazil delivers those hurdles in a way that has the readers rooting for
these two to overcome them in order to be together forever. A realistic
portrayal of a couple overwhelmed by life that sometimes you need to stop and
smell the roses, reassess those dreams and maybe see that sometimes your dreams
may be the issue. The characters are well written-flaws and all, realistic and
definitely some I would enjoy meeting in real life.
In
DONOVAN’S DEAL, the reader is treated to some plot points for the other
characters that leave you running to the author’s website for more details on
future books. I know I was one of them after I finished this latest Truth or
Dare story. Mr. Brazil is a talented storyteller who knows how to make a story
come alive for his readers and with an unforgettable cast of characters, the
reader can not help but fall in love with his work. Run-don’t walk-to grab this
latest addition to the Truth or Dare series. I do recommend reading book one,
Keeping House, first to see how Mischa and Donovan began.
