Just a Little Rivalry (The Brotherhood Book 10) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 318 ratings

Solicitor John Dandie will go to the ends of the Earth for his friends and his clients. And in the case of Lord Blake Williamson, Duke of Selby, in the search for his missing son, the ends of the Earth just happen to be Long Island, New York. With Lady Selby finally cornered at her father’s seaside mansion, convincing the woman to return Lord Stanley should be child’s play. If not for the complications caused by John’s own romantic entanglement with Detective Arthur Gleason. Enigmatic Arthur Gleason has had his sights set on John nearly from the moment they met. For months, they have been engaged in an ever-intensifying love chase while working—sometimes as enemies, sometimes as allies—to locate Lord Stanley and bring him home. So far, Arthur has been the cool, calculating pursuer while John has fought not to give in to their undeniable attraction. But when a ghost from Arthur’s past interrupts their sensual balancing act, John will have to decide between his heart and his pride. A tender, heartfelt, and light-hearted gay historical romance. PLEASE BE ADVISED: Steam level – very spicy! And yes, this is an m/m romance involving friends to lovers, second chances, and a single father, so if that’s not your thing, feel free to pass on this one. THE BROTHERHOOD series consists of: Just a Little Wickedness Just a Little Temptation Just a Little Danger Just a Little Seduction Just a Little Heartache Just a Little Christmas Just a Little Madness Just a Little Gamble Just a Little Mischief Just a Little Rivalry

    OK, let's get this out of the way: This denouement to a brilliant series is full of back and forth surprises, shocks and sometimes totally illogical developments. However, it has so much credibility because Merry Farmer has done her homework and brings use New York City and Long Island around the turn of the 20th Century perfectly.

    Except.

    The only question I would have is that most of the story takes place in the Long Island town of Peconic, which does not exist but a bay and river of the same name defines the split of the island's far eastern fork. The problem is that the town of Peconic is supposedly located on Long Island sound, which is the northern part, and I would assume that Ms. Farmer's location is basically the western end of what is northern fork.

    So, I got that out of my system.

    Now to the tale which gives us the mysteriously discreet but extremely lonely John Dandie (on the cover), and no doubt off the page in that pose is Arthur Gleason. He is the gruff private detective who has joined Dandie on his excursion to America to finally track down and rescue the Duke of Selby's young son from the clutches of his ditzy mother and very rich grandparents.

    That plot line is filled with all sorts of surprises and logistical issues (as always in this series) but it's the dynamic created by John and Arthur that weaves another spell that moves the whole story into a tightly wound bundle and tosses it out there for the reader to unravel.

    In the end this is an exceptionally satisfying conclusion to a brilliant series and it's also a sweetly set up scenario for another series, "The Slippery Slope" which is New York City's chance to shine.

    Bravo!

    I found this a very fulfilling ending to Merry Farmer's Brotherhood Series. I hate to see the series end, but I think she successfully took this increasingly LARGE cast of characters on a much longer journey than I (perhaps she!) thought possible, even adviseable. She kept us moored to one on-going plotline for the last two stories, making use of characters she had already introduced (so she didn't sprain our brains) and then let all the pieces finally fall into place at the very end, a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle without that one missing piece that so often gives frustration, eaten by the dog or made off with by a child, a long series, so many relationships and plotlines entertwining, every piece in its place.

    I'm glad she isn't leaving the locale and time period altogether, for she knows the history so well that she is adding to the academia in a way that, (if it has not yet), it should begin to acknowledge.

    As to this particular book, it was great fun to have Farmer take a tiny step into the BDSM world - EXCRUCIATINGLY gentle so don't let that frighten anyone for whom that is not your cup of tea, if you are not well-versed in that mileau you'll hardly notice - and proves once again that she knows a great deal about having a penis and what to do with it. Her, "grump old man" must lead a happy, fulfilled life.

    More Merry Farmer M/M romance, please. I've already pre-ordered the next one! Catch up!

    What a delicious and fast paced story! What can happen on a ship crossing the Atlantic? Well if it can happen it does. What can happen when a Duke wants his son, who has been taken by his wife from London to New York?. Can a Duke divorce? Can he gain custody of his son and heir?
    Can a grandmother get custody when the boy's mother does not want him?
    And then there is the side story!
    Everything moves quickly. Everyone finds their true love.
    I am left wanting more, that's for sure.
    Anyone who has read this series will want to read this wonderful conclusion. Get it now!

    Thinking of something out of the ordinary for people today, then transition it to the age of the late 1900's, that's what you have to think of reading the fabulous new Brotherhood edition.

    Some of the previous issues are now coming to a head, but new intrigue is starting.

    Believe me you want to read the newest edition not only to see what happens now, but also to you want to see what's happening next!!!

    Enjoy the read, you'll never be disappointed!!! Saying anything more would just spoil your appetite, so I shall leave you to dive into the novel.

    Loved John's and Arthur's story. They were total opposites in every way. But once they started investigating together, all that changes, dramatically. They found what they were both searching for!!!!

    This was the hottest of all the Brotherhood stories. It also had a fantastic back story with Arthur's past in Japan. Words cannot express how good this was. Enjoy

    I couldn't finish reading the book, more ridiculous situations than in the one from her I had read before....and what's with the cover of the book's picture of an androgynous guy with a blond wig? there's not such a character in the book....

    4.0 out of 5 stars So the saga ends, or will it?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2021
    So the story ends with a bang, for some! Blake and his son are reunited, while Gleason, after many hiccups, finally settles with Dandie. The whole reads a bit like a Whitehall Farce at times, with a constant switching of plots, but it works. On the whole a fitting end to the story.
