Love Restored (Gallagher Brothers Book 1)

Okay get the tissues ready, for more than one occasion. Love this group as much as the Montgomery's. Cannot wait for the next one. Anyone who has read Carrie Ann's stories knows you will never be disappointed.

Since I do adore the Montgomery Ink series I just had to check this out. As soon as I ventured in I settled back for a good read I just knew it. You get hit with a scene of them waiting for who they were going to do a job for with input from each brother but this one will center around Graham. That will be how Blake is entered but that is not who she really will be. His surprise will be when he enters with his brother to see she will be the one at the tattoo and piercing shop to take care of his brother. From there we will see the layers of both of them peeled off. She will have more of a mystery air but that too will come uncovered. She will do it so fine like we will be unknowingly captured by the two of them. The relationship will progress to a point that fits them and their story with realism that wraps you in it. She will have planted some drama that will come along and cause a heart to beat faster with the suspense. The wrap up of this one will also cause some anxious moments but she will give you some relief. Mighty fine caliber of HEA.

Bad boys seem to be a common thing lately and Carrie Ann Ryan sure knows how to create them in makng them sexier than ever. The Gallagher Brothers are like the Montgomery`s and this is a great spin off starting with the grumpiest, broodng and oh so sexy Graham Gallagher. He is the oldest of the brothers but carries so much heartache and pain I just wanted to hug him all night. He comes off grumpy and stubborn but a woman like Blake is everything he needs right now. She comes from money but that is all about her for like Graham she comes wth heartache and yet they complete each other. You would think a tattooed woman like her will only attract scumbags but Graham is exactly what she needs in her life. The love they have for one another is stronger and the passion well Carrie Ann Ryan sure knows how to make it hotter than ever. If you like the Montgomery Ink series be warned the Gallaghers will blow you away.

woah. Just woah. I started this one this morning after the girls left for school, read almost non stop during the day and thanked the stars that tonight's football game is an away game and I didn't have to go so I could finish reading this :) This was hot and just a tad bit angsty, yet sweet and loving and it was just all things perfect for me. I loved Graham and Blake, and their pasts made my heart go out to them. I wanted to just hug them! They both had a bit of a short temper, but I got it. I would have probably reacted the same way when faced with what they were and where they'd come from. And the fact that Graham is almost 40, made me super happy! I love reading about older heroes!

The secondary characters were awesome and I now want to go back and read the Montgomery series. (After checking my Kindle, I already own some LOL).

I love the world that Carrie Ann Ryan has created with the Montgomery's. Her characters are complex and real. She's working on taking that to the next level with the Gallagher brothers in this spin off series. Graham is such an interesting mixture of sensitive and jerk. I loved this complexity, especially when he couldn't figure out why he was a total ass to Blake in their first meeting.

Blake is kickass! She understood she was young and made selfish choices, but she owns it. Not only that, but is making it work on her terms. Her loss, while different than Graham's, is just as powerful. I have so much respect for Blake owning her choices and moving forward on her own terms.

What happens when am unmovable object meets an unstoppable force? Guess you will have to read Loved Restored to find out. I can't wait to learn more about the Gallagher clan and who Carrie Ann Ryan finds to match them.

Graham...oh how you are one sexy beast! Tatts, pierced *wink*, bearded, alpha, oh my! Add in the hurt from his past which is so devastating that it makes your heart hurt and you get one heck of a man.

Blake has a past also and isn't what Graham thought. When they first met, you felt the spark, the animosity, because what you see isn't always what you get. Sometimes it's just a facade.

There's secrets all around, sizzling attraction, laughter and family.

This book hit all the things that I love in a book. It definitely took me into the world of Graham and Blake and I didn't want to leave until I read it all. Waiting impatiently already for the next book in this series!!

This is the highly addictive first book in a brand spanking new spin-off series by one of my favorite authors and I loved everything about this! I literally couldn't put this book down and read the entire thing in one sitting and was left wanting more! Graham and Blake both share difficult pasts filled with pain and suffering and my heart went out to both of them. I loved them together from the moment they met and was rooting for them from the very beginning. I highly recommend reading this to anyone and I look forward to much more from this author in the future. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was unexpected, it had many twists and turns throughout the novel. Not having read the “Montgomery Ink Series” it made things more interesting with the characters being all new. Of course I will now read that series to get a better understanding on those characters but for Blake and Graham their story took me to places I never thought possible. To have a lose and to find love again took strength I was in awe of Graham and for Blake to go to the end of the earth for her loved ones also showed strength I was in awe of.

This is Book 1 in the Gallagher Brothers Series. Graham and his two brothers own Gallagher Brothers Restoration. They are working on a new job restore a house for Blake Brennen. This is a spin-off of the Montgomery Ink series and it’s off to a great start. I loved this book and can’t wait for Book 2. It’s got chemistry and excitement from the first page all the way through to the last page. Carnie An Ryan just keeps getting better with every book that she writes. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Graham suffered a tragic loss that still haunts him and had no intention of falling in love again. Blake has taken charge of her life while keeping a carefully guarded secret close to her heart. This story has it all - teary-eye moments, heart-pounding drama and sizzling passion. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Graham and Blake as well as the strong family ties of the Gallaghers. This is an outstanding start to the Gallagher Brothers series and one you don't want to miss.

Graham and Blake sure know how to make text messaging each other interesting, "I asked you if you wanted food. If I wanted you to see my etchings, I’d have said come over and ride my ***k." Graham is a bear of a man, so when he does romance it's all caveman like, "he reached around her and gripped her ***. “Yeah, I do. Now pierce me so we can go home and eff.” I loved this book, I literally devoured it in an hour, I can't wait for the other boys to get their stories.
