The Devaney Brothers: Ryan's Place and Sean's Reckoning Book Reviews

I went to the library to get something to read.  My son was busy on the computer looking up books that he was interested in so I took the opportunity to pick out a few books.  I grabbed The Devaney Brothers: Ryan and Sean: Ryan's Place\Sean's Reckoning (The Devaneys) by Sherryl Woods.  I love having a smart phone because it is like having a computer in my bag.  I can log on to the library website and look up the books to see what is in the same series and if there are any that are first in the series.  I try to plan ahead to reserve books so that I don't have to do this but if I am in a bind with no time, I grab that smart phone and see what it tells me.  I can stand right in the aisles of the library and find something to read!!  I can even check to see if it is at another library and reserve something in the same series!! WHAT?!  Technology is great and time saving!

Ryan's Place 

Abandoned by his parents and separated from his brothers, Ryan Devaney doesn't believe in love. Until Maggie O'Brien storms into his Irish pub and her bright smile and tender touch have him reconsidering. The beautiful redhead warms his frozen spirit and awakens forgotten dreams—like the desire to search for his long-lost brothers. Will he dare to believe there's a place for them in happily-ever-after?

Sean's Reckoning 

Son of a shattered family, fireman Sean Devaney knows love never lasts, so he refuses to chance it. Then he meets single mom Deanna Blackwell, who has just lost everything in a devastating fire. Despite the warning in Sean's head, he's drawn to protect the stunning woman and her son. Sean may be tough enough to storm burning buildings…but is he brave enough to risk building a family of his own?
I enjoyed this book a lot especially since I had no idea what to expect!  I really like the characters and the things that they have to overcome in order to grow.  As you finish one book, it really makes you want to start the next one right away so that you can find out what happens next.  I am hooked with the start of the first story learning the boys were all separated when they were kids after their parents abandoned them and they were all put into different foster homes.  My heart went out to them immediately because no one told them where their brothers were and they all grew up alone!! 

There are two "books" in one so it is 500 pages in one paperback book.  There are five brothers which as you can see comes up with a little counting issue if two brothers are in each book.  Instead of the second book being too huge to read, there is a electronic book for the Fifth Brother and third book.  Luckily, the library has them all so I just need to get the Kindle reader loaded back on to one of the iPads so that I don't have to read the end of the story on my computer.  This is the first of the story and I know that you will enjoy it as much as I did!!  I hope that you check it out at your local library and bookstore for yourself.
