Brothers in Blue: The Complete Trilogy: Brothers in Blue Boxed Set - Books 1-3 Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,615 ratings

Meet the men of Manning Grove, three small-town cops and brothers, who meet the women who will change the rest of their lives...

Max:

Big city party-girl Amanda Barber has been spoiled most of her life. But life for Amanda suddenly becomes a major challenge: adapting to small-town life, dealing with her special needs brother, and constantly butting heads with a frustrating local cop.

As a police officer and former Marine, "responsibility" is Max Bryson's middle name. Never having been in a serious relationship, he has no plans for one in the near future. He likes being his own man. And even if he were interested in a serious relationship, he certainly wouldn't choose someone so immature and irresponsible as Amanda. But no matter how hard he tries, he can't get sexy Amanda out of his head or his heart. Watching her mature in front of his eyes, his protectiveness towards her only strengthens.

Bossy and possessive aren't the only words Amanda uses to describe this frustrating cop. She can't deny just looking at the man makes her tremble. But she's done with having anyone control her and this man isn't going to be any different. Or is he?

Marc:

Officer Marc Bryson doesn’t believe women should be in law enforcement. Ever. When his older brother, Max, is promoted to the small town’s police chief the first thing he does is hire a woman fresh out of the academy. Then makes Marc her Field Training Officer.

Determined to follow in her late father’s footsteps, Leah Grant has the moxie to break any glass ceiling that stands in the way from becoming a police officer. Even if that means proving to her coach—who only wants her in his bed and not in the field—she’s worthy of being a permanent member of the force.

Working in a man’s world, Leah challenges Marc’s misconceptions about women in the line of duty. But as they struggle to separate their work life from their undeniable chemistry, things continue to steam up and get a little kinky. These two officers of the law must toe the line after being caught red-handed.

In the end, can Leah prove to Marc that she is good as backup as well as in bed?

Matt:

As a former Marine, Matt Bryson has dealt with PTSD ever since coming home from the Middle East. He finds himself fortunate to be able to return to his job as a cop at the local police department with his brothers Max and Marc.

Dr. Carly Stephens works hard as an obstetrician at the local hospital, struggling to pay off her medical school loans, financially support her elderly parents, and save money to adopt a baby. Unable to have children, she still longs for one of her very own.

Instantly attracted to the Dictator Doctor, Matt finds Carly easily brings him to his knees both emotionally and physically. What starts out only as a convenient sexual relationship turns into a whole lot more when dealing with their pasts and their future. Especially since Matt doesn’t ever want children.

Matt and Carly find themselves on a passionate and emotional journey that can either bring them together or rip them apart.

    first book.... is between Max and Amanda... Amanda never expected to come back home to Manning Grove Pa. Yet here she is and now the guardian of her special needs brother Greg. Max sees her as spoiled and hopeless, a sure trouble maker, she thinks he's a jerk who loves making her life miserable. The attraction they both feel seems to grow out of control, the man, is a former Marine,he's a hometown cop and on top of that he is hot!!. ....Book 2 is Marc and Leah .... Marc doesn't approve of women on the police force. So what in the world does his brother Max ...the police chief do but stick him with training their new hire, Leah. Straight out of the academy, of course she jumped at the job offer. When she met her FTO...Field training Officer, Marc, she realized two things. That not only was he was super hot !! but he was also a jerk who was somewhat a misogynistic about women in law enforcement. Too bad they can't keep their hands off each other. This one was a wild ride, Leah is a strong woman and she doesn't put up with much. actually a good read and she helps change Marc's thinking.... then we have book 3 and the story of Matt the baby Brother and Carly the dominating doctor .... Matt's time in the service changed him dramatically. He does what he can to manage his issues but is barely existing. Then he meets Carly, the ob/gyn who just delivered his niece the night before. He can't help his attraction to her but she wants things he can't have. Life has certainly taken its shots at Carly but she doesn't let it get her down for the count. Before they know it, their lives are entwined. But Matt's mental health is in crisis and Carly doesn't know how she can help the man she has fallen for. truly is a great read .. and book 3 is a wow! The whole set from start to finish was mesmerizing. Loved all the couples and the guys' parents are a much needed comical relief. seriously you gotta Love Pops aka Ron and his "just happens to walk in or find the "boy's with their girl's" ... hahahhahaaha .... seemingly such simple plots, what sets them apart are the emotions.OH and we certainly cannot forget "Teddy" and his amazing talent" and his character who just wants Love and acceptance... If you have read any Jeanne St James' books,then you know she sucks you in with the amazing characters and how they make you feel. Their struggles and successes pull you into the story and you feel as if you are a part of the family. A totally sensational read! so enjoyed this box set..

    This book is about a set of three brothers. All grown up. They all look just about the same. Max is the first story. The oldest brother. Out on duty he sees a car parked in a two hour parking area. The car being there for longer he gives the car a ticket and then sees the driver. New to town Mandy has her hands full. Her father and stepmother both dead. Her the sole person in charge of her half brother Greg with development issues. Max pushes his way into both their lives.

    Marc is the middle brother and in charge of the job training for the newest recruit to the force. Leah is a tiny spitfire and doing what she has wanted to all her live to follow in her fathers footsteps.

    Matt is the youngest brother. He spent more time in the Marines and more time deployed. Suffering from PTSD and medically discharged he is home. And back on the police force. Until he runs into a force to be reckoned with. Dr. Carly.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020
    For mature readers only (18+ years old) due to subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language, steamy intimate scenes, emotional issues (PTSD, fertility issues, etc.) and violence.

    This is a trilogy about police officers and contains some acts of violence on the periphery of law enforcement. It is not a thriller and does not go about trying to solve any criminal acts. It is about “protect and serve” that the Bryson family has devoted their lives to for generations.

    My perspective on the trilogy:

    It is so nice to have all three stories in one edition, plus a link to the unofficial official novella “fourth” story about Teddy, a reoccurring character in the series. I only wish I could have a loyal, funny Teddy in my own life.

    All three of the stories are excellent, well-written, steamy and absolutely hilarious, starting in Max’s story with Amanda and her brother, Greg, who suffers from certain intellectual challenges and always seems to pick up on the most inappropriate word of any conversation, which with Amanda is a lot. 🤣

    It continued into Marc’s story and his struggles with accepting and training a female rookie. The chemistry between the two of them are off the charts and let’s just say that I am so glad I wasn’t drinking anything during one enlightening evening / night that involved handcuffs. 😁

    There are parts of each story that I laughed until I cried, but especially during Matt’s. Surprisingly so, as it could have been the heaviest if not handled in an appropriate manner, as he suffers from PTSD after serving multiple back to back deployments overseas as a marine.

    Matt’s story also had the most emotional and heartbreaking scenes, not only because of Matt and his service, but because Carly has fertility issues, and I went through that on my own.

    If you are looking for a series that has heart, laughter, tears, family (those who are blood and those that are not), and real life struggles that have to be faced while finding what life should be about, then I highly recommend this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can there be too many brothers?
    Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2019
    Well, that’s a resounding NO! From this author...Brothers in Blue was an awesome read. I settled in to see what I would get. I read all 3 in a day. Max well Max is hot! He meets his match literally with Amanda. Greg just throws the right amount of grounding and laughter into the mix. As her step-brother she inherits the task of taking care of her challenged brother. He is her salvation for all the right reasons. Max is yummy on a stick. The next brother Marc...he’s a bit more of a hound dog and gets saddled with teaching Leah, a female cop...yeah women should be in law enforcement!! Does not go over well for Marc. There story was abit less on the “gotta” read more scale but the characters are addictive. The last book was Matt and he is the Marine trying to fit back in after too much trauma and PTSD. While the author tackles a real issue she does it in a way that grabs your heart and has you cheering for Matt and his Dr. Dictator Carly. I appreciate the reality of her writing for this brother and it was 5 stars. I would not say no to a followup of the 3 brothers progress...Teddy-not so much!! But thank you for this series it was a great read!!

    Another hit from Jeanne St James.

    I haven't read any cop romance books, as my usual genre is MC romance and some contemporary and mafia. These books were awesome, I can't decide which Bryson I love the most, they're all equally awesome!
    5 stars from me, really enjoyable reading.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2020
    I read this trilogy after reading the Down and dirty MC followed by The Shadows, these stories seemed very tame compared to her other books, I loved the filthy talk, the sex and the violence that came with the MC but then again you can't expect cops to behave like that. I've read the MC books twice over but these I doubt I'll read again although they were a good read and Amanda is so funny definitely no filters,I wished I had of read these first which it tells you to.
