Allure: Brooklet Dreams Series Book 1 By C.A. Harms

Rhett and his AJ <3



I remember when I read "Forgiving Reed" and we met Kori and her little boy, Rhett (who's father had died, his name was Blake) and we also got to witness Reed, who may not be Rhett's biological father, but is in all the other ways that matter the most, fall in love all over again with Kori and love Rhett as he was his own son :)

Well, now we get to read Rhett's story and when I found out, I was squealing and jumping up and down, pumping my hands up in the air like a lunatic... I must admit that I probably looked like one since one of fur-babies tilted her head to the side and looked at me like I had finally lost my marbles, ha, ha ;)

Anyways, this means all the kids from the "Southern Boys Series", meaning Reed, Gavin and Colt's offspring will be getting their own stories, starting with Rhett, which is the second generation of these southern men ahem and the ladies too of course. Can't wait to see Rhett's sister, Grace get  her own story because Rhett is so protective of her ;)

I'm so happy that we'll get their stories because we get to see all of the previous couples from "The Southern Boys Series" again and how they're now after so many years have passed, how united they all are still, especially now that their children are all grown-ups and have to go through challenges and obstacles and be lucky to have what they have and I'm glad that Rhett realized that Harley was his first love but AJ (Allison J) is his forever love <3

 

 

Rhett was hurt when his first girlfriend and first love left their small town. As the years passed after her departure and is informed by her that she's moved on and is currently seeing someone, of course he's hurt, and meanwhile during they're years separated, he's played the field, frequently and keeps Allison J aka AJ in the friend zone while she's in love with him and is understanding of his heartache and waits for her turn to be more for him and finally have a chance to be with him...


I got to be honest, AJ's character was great and I liked her determination, patience and devotion of her love for Rhett. I don't think I would be able to be friend zoned and see the guy I love with other girls... this one is strong and at the same time vulnerable; you'll see when you go ahead and read this book. But, then something happens that opens Rhett's eyes to finally see what's always been in front of him (no spoiler) and what could potentially become... to love again. 


Of course, Rhett's a guy, so it took him way too long to finally see the right girl for him, literally right in front of him but FINALLY HE DID! I was so happy :) 



I was also happy when Rhett decided it was time to stake his claim on AJ and let every male know she was off limits; their friends and siblings had their hands in that. I loved how united all of them were, like Raven, who's AJ's older sister & Rhett and his sister, Grace. They both had strong bond with their siblings and I loved reading about that and witnessing it through the words :) <3 They also had great friends who also dipped their hands to push Rhett & AJ to FINALLY get together :)

 

I liked that these two took things slow in the start of their relationship. AJ was still hesitant but willing to be with Rhett, even if she still thought that maybe she was a sort of replacement of Harley for Rhett, but slowly, Rhett shows her that she means something to him and that he's definitely over Harley.

 

 Of course, there are some obstacles to overcome, some misunderstandings, some mistakes made along (don't worry guys, it's nothing too serious and remember, there's definitely no cheating in this book), and some unwelcome surprises that show up and try to mess things up for Rhett and AJ but guys, remember that these southern men and ahem, ladies too, don't give up easily, especially if that person is "the one for him/her" and when AJ's insecurities rear their head and make question herself and their relationship, Rhett's going to do everything in his power to vanquish those fears and soothe her insecurities by showing that his love for her is everlasting and completely different from what he felt for Harley, which was young teenage first love and that doesn't compete to what he feels now for AJ, his forever love <3 and along the way as he does this, they both get a beautiful and unexpected surprise along the way too ;) <3

I loved the epilogue so much <3 It was beautiful, funny, emotional and most importantly, it was full of love and happiness with a united front of family and friends, there to see and surround with joy and love, Rhett, AJ and their newest addition to the Jackson family, Blake Reed <3 

He was named after Rhett's two dads', his biological dad, Blake who died when Rhett's was very young to remember him but knows about him because Reed keeps his memory alive in his home. I loved that :) Reed is such an amazing man for keeping the memory of Blake, who was Kori's first husband alive for Rhett and Kori, because let's be honest, not many men would actually do what he did. The bundle of joy's middle name is Reed because he's Rhett's dad, even if they don't share the same DNA. Reed taught Rhett everything he knows. Taught him how to be a man, was a great dad to him and treated him the same as his biological daughter with Kori, Grace and showed him everything he would need to know in life, including when the woman for you is there and you give it your all to get her. Their bond was beautiful to witness and the name that Rhett and AJ gave their baby boy to honor these two men, one up in heaven watching proudly over them and one who's been through everything with Rhett and supports him and loves him family unconditionally <3 It gave this story, at least to me, a heartwarming feeling while reading the epilogue <3
