BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN is another great story in the KGI Series
about the Kelly brothers who run The Kelly Group International
(KGI). This is a group of the super elite with military
background that handle hostage/kidnap victim recovery that
sometimes fall into the gray areas. These are jobs that the
U.S. government usually cannot handle. This is a series that
will take you through all the extremes. There are painful
situations involving various forms of abuse. Once again Maya
Banks does an outstanding job in showing the resilience of
individuals. This is a story about a young woman whose self
esteem is so low she has a difficult time accepting the
thought of any family wanting her to become one of them. And
then there is the story of one of the family members feeling
like they have made an unforgivable mistake that put the lives
of the family in jeopardy.
Rusty, the baby sister of the Kelly brothers, brings her
college friend home with her to the KGI compound after she
creates a new identity for her. Zoe is trying to escape
heartbreak as well as a threat on her life. Because of her
past she is timid, has low self esteem and feels like she can
never risk her heart again. Joe is the last of the unattached
Kelly brothers. Once he meets Zoe there is something about
her that draws him in and makes him want to do whatever it
takes to protect her. When Zoe's past resurfaces Joe and the
KGI team will do what they do best.
The men of KGI are badass tough guys until they find the one
who is their soulmate. I really enjoyed seeing how these
tough guys handle finding out that they are about to become a
parent for the first time or learning they are becoming a
parent again! The ice man Steele is hilarious.
I hope that Rusty's story is coming soon. There are some
unresolved issues.
As the last unattached member of the Kelly clan, Joe is
more than ready to risk life and limb on any mission he’s
assigned to, but when it comes to love, he’ll keep his
distance. He’s content to watch his brothers become
thoroughly domesticated.
Zoe’s had nothing but heartbreak in her life, and she’s
determined to start over with a completely new identity,
thanks to her college friend, Rusty Kelly. But it’s the
gorgeous smile and tender words of Joe Kelly that begin
to weaken her resolve to never risk her heart again. And
Joe will have to put everything on the line to save Zoe,
when secrets of her past resurface—and threaten to tear
them apart…
