The Return of Brody McBride: Book One: The McBrides

By Jennifer Ryan

From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan, comes a steamy second chance romance—the first installment in an unforgettable series about the sexy McBride Men of Fallbrook, Colorado.

The black sheep of Fallbrook is back . . . And he's in for the surprise of his life.

Former bad boy, now-decorated Army Ranger Brody McBride is home and on a mission: Find the woman he never should have left behind and right his wrongs from eight years ago.

When the man she loved broke her heart and skipped town, Rain Evans picked up the pieces. But along with heartbreak, Brody left her something better than she could ever have imagined: two beautiful daughters. One she gave birth to, and the other she rescued from the woman who helped destroy her relationship with Brody.

Brody is shocked to discover he's a father, and he is dead set on winning Rain back and protecting his girls. Can they rekindle the love they once shared and become the family they were always meant to be? Or will a danger from their past return and ruin everything?

Reviews for The Return of Brody McBride

[bette_hansen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved this book! Jennifer Ryan's characters and storytelling are amazing and this book is no different. Brody McBride left town eight years ago after having lost the woman he loved and making the biggest mistake of his life. He's back now but what he finds will shock him. Rain Evans is the woman he left, and the life she's lived is not at all what he thought it would be.

You can't help but pull for these two. It's a fantastic story and I definitely recommend it!

Loved this book. Would have given it 5 stars if there had been a wedding epilogue...

I wanted to like this story but the dialogue and story development was almost amateurish. If you cheated on the love of your life, skipped town (leaving her and the other woman pregnant) and spent 8 years away, you'd expect there to be a lot of complex issues to sort through. I don't feel like this author developed that aspect of the story very well.

Yes, a story about a strong woman. A genuinely nice guy and two gorgeous little girls.
Great read.
