Tammy Falkner's Reed Brothers series is an engaging
New
Adult series that begins with TALL, TATTED AND TEMPTING. On
the outside, Logan seems like a total bad boy. He has sex
with a lot of women, but he doesn't commit and doesn't ever
do long-term relationships. He is a tattoo artist, and he
has ink all over his body. Logan's life hasn't been easy. He
lost his hearing when he was 13 and hasn't spoken since. He
and his four brothers lost their parents years ago, so they
all live together, supporting each other.
Emily's life is
filled with secrets. She is on the run from her past, living
on the streets and surviving by busking at subway stations
and staying in shelters whenever she can. She meets Logan,
and they become unlikely friends largely because he is so
persistent. Emily is soon living in the Reeds' apartment and
spending more and more time with Logan. Emily and Logan fall
in love, but Emily's secrets continue to keep them apart.
Eventually, she must face her past if she wants to change
her future.
Logan is a hero with bad boy charm, but he is also
incredibly complex. Emily and Logan have fantastic chemistry
together. The story is the perfect mix of sexy and sweet,
and the story alternates between their points-of-view,
adding depth to their relationship. While the story is
short, Smart, Sexy and Secretive, the second book in the
series, is already available. The other Reed brothers,
particularly Matt and Paul, are charming. There were a few
glimpses into their pasts included, and I hope to see more
of the brothers' stories as the series continues.
Falkner usually writes romances with hot sex scenes. For
this story, she wanted to accommodate her son who was
interested in the story but wasn't comfortable reading the
sex scenes. Her solution was to create two versions of the
story. There is a Sexy version, which includes all of the
sex scenes, and what Falkner calls the Sexy-lite version, in
which the sex scenes are pared down. Both of versions are
packaged together, giving each reader the option to choose
the one that best suits him or her. Falkner does explain
that both versions are intended for adult readers because of
the language and themes.
She's locked up tight. But he might be the key.
