Publisher Description
Three young men meet in university and form a lifelong friendship.

What happens when these men meet the one person they are destined to be with? Can they fight their feelings and walk away? Or will they each succumb and learn the sweet agony of love?

Happy.
Protective.
Loved.

Bentley is everything I want in a book 1 of a new series and then some.
Bentley is everything I want in a book 1 of a new series and then some.
The banter between Bentley and Aiden and then Bentley, Aiden and Maddox is epic! Bro-mance and then some. Just wait til you read the shopping scene and what it leads up to it. These men who bonded in college are an amazing example of the power of friendship.
Oh wait I should probably talk about the romance too lol… Bentley opening himself up to Emmy was so touching. This is not a book about a woman who changes a man—this is a book about a man who is different around the person who is right for him, the person his heart connects with. Bentley’s very personal gestures touched my heart… oh wait til you read Emmy’s birthday celebration!
Ms. Moreland created a world that pulled me in and touched me in so many way. The connections between the characters bleed off the pages and the back stories which slowly unfold truly allow the reader to understand the characters, particularly Bentley and Emmy... we only gets hint of Aiden and Maddox hence wanting them NOW lol.
And wait... just wait til you meet Greg and how his story plays out... truly masterful and painful and impactful... Read the book!
Aiden… oh Tree Trunk how I need your story LIKE NOW! Aiden had me wanting his story from almost the moment the banter with Bentley began on the opening pages and... quiet Maddox... ugh I want to know more! You can prefer Aiden HERE!
I am very much excited for the rest of this series and I hope, HOPE after Maddox we get a happy for Reid as he endeared himself to my heart and I think the rest of the casts too!
Great series start
Bentley is the first book in the Vested Interest series. We meet all of the main characters from this series and I can already tell I love them!
Bentley is serious, stuffy, and “rigid”. A real stuffed shirt, but that was how he was raised and doesn’t really know how to be any other way.
When he trips over Emmy, in a coffee shop he is drawn to her easy, outgoing ways. But Emmy’s light exterior hides her vulnerable side.
“We could build a great life together, baby. No one gets me the way you do. I need your loving, forgiving heart in my life. I need you. And I think, if you let yourself feel it, you need me, too.”
“I’m scared.”
“I know. I am, too. I never thought I could love someone like I love you. I do, and I want you to know it.”
I truly swooned for Bentley and his protective nature. He sees his own faults and works to make himself a better man. And Emmy is such a sweet heroine, so resilient and strong. I got such a book hangover from this story. I just need more Vested Interest to cure me!!
Overall good, but predictable
It’s an interesting story with interesting characters. Generally, I liked it. But I read both books one and two, and the villains in both are completely predictable. If you are looking for suspense in your romance novel, then this won’t satisfy. If you like a good romance story that is pretty predictable, then you will probably like this.
