The Brood ~ Devney Perry ~ New Release & Review

 




The Brood by Devney Perry is now live! 


A small town, forced proximity, age gap romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Devney Perry.

The last thing Wilder Abbott needs is a houseguest. Solitude has been his stoic companion for nearly a decade. He prefers to brood over his mistakes in seclusion. Besides, he gets enough social interaction as a high school science teacher in Calamity, Montana.

But when his oldest friend calls, begging for a favor, Wilder begrudgingly agrees. For the next two months, he'll give up his guest room to his friend's little sister.

Iris Monroe isn't the girl Wilder remembers. Gone is the shy, quiet mouse ten years his junior who always had her nose in a book. Grown-up Iris talks too much and asks too many questions, especially about his past. And her bright smile and clear blue eyes are hard to ignore.

Two months. He just has to survive two months. Except Iris is as nosy as she is beautiful. And his secrets prove hard to hide when she's living under his roof.

Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend


Review Copy Provided by Author


We are back in Calamity, Montana this time with the elusive Wilder Abbot. We met him in an earlier book when he was the "jerk" to our heroine. In The Brood we get to know him better as he is put into a forced roommate situation with his best friend's little sister.

Iris blows into Wilder's home and blows the doors off his regimented world. These are both intriguing characters and I loved the way Ms Perry guided them to help each other find the balance they need in life. I appreciated the way that she wove them into each other's lives and built the tension until it broke and then let them continue growing into a real relationship.

While The Brood is the 6th book in the Calamity series and there are cameos from previous main characters, it is very much a stand-alone book. Having read the series would add flavor to this reading experience, but it is not necessary to appreciate the growth and development that Wilder and Iris experience along their journey. This is an emotional book and deals with a couple of difficult concepts, but it's done in an authentic and graceful way. My appreciation for Ms Perry's work is confirmed and I can't wait to see what she has for us next.
