About this ebook

The rules were simple. Finish rebuilding the project house and keep his hands off the woman who owns it.

Graham Gallagher knows tragedy and heartbreak but he's spent these past years burying the pain deep down where it belongs. He has a life he's learning to love. A job where he can make good change. And brothers that keep him sane.

What he doesn't need is a hot-tempered client who gets on his last nerve.

Too bad the two of them can't keep their hands off each other.

Blake Brennen is a single mom who doesn't have time for growly, bearded men. Only circumstances keep them together far more than either one of them wants.

One night of temptation leads to another and they both know they need to walk away. But when the worst happens and their worlds collide, they won't have a choice but to lean on each other.

Or risk losing it all anyway.

There is always something offensive about a man who took out his baggage on innocent bystanders just because they happen to have the same gender. Both of them had tragedies happen in their lives and were still in the process of healing. Different ways of grieving and uncertain how to move on. The way he exploded when he knew about her daughter seemed kind of overly dramatic. Spewing out cruel words without knowing why she didn't tell him about her, when it was him actually who did not inspire trust in baring all her life because of his judgemental attitude. But he did redeem himself when things got bad for her although it was like a painful effort for him to do, what with his issues and all.

Love Restored Gallagher Brothers Book 1 by Carrie Ann Ryan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved this book! The characters were so rich and beautiful! Blake is a spirited, head strong, no-nonsense tattoo artist (her painting is the ability to tattoo on skin because apparently women born in her parents circle did not pierced and tattoo themselves) Blake Brennen may have been born a trust fund baby, but she’s created a whole new life for herself in the world of ink, piercings, and freedom. This is book one of the Gallagher Brothers series it's a spin-off of Montgomery Ink series. Things happens when a broken man uncovers the truth of what it means to take a second chance with someone who is unexpected but just what he needs and Blake finds herself attracted to someone who looks like a bad guy but he treats her like he is attracted but is understandably aloof because of past events. The storyline has drama and is scorching hot. I definitely felt her despair at being afraid about her child and her being lonely. I would love to read a follow up story for them! I have fallen in love with Graham and his brother in this book. This is a unique love story and it's well written and the characters appeared quite believable. The yearning of love and the pain of losing someone with all your heart and not having that love returned in kind was heartrending. Upon the conclusion, you discovered the reason behind Blake and Graham loneliness , your heart breaks for the pain from them both. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and I believe others will as well. If you love drama, laughs and scorching hot scenes, then this is a must read for you. This is, in my opinion, a 5 Star piece of calorie-free brain candy—and that's good. That's what I love about my romance. It is an interesting and enjoyable story. I actually love reading Carrie Ann Ryan books no matter what genre. I feel this is a Five Stars beginning to a Awesome series, I absolutely positively love this book. Yes a Unexpected delightful romance with a few twists and spellbinding the whole way through. Thoroughly enjoyable and great to read. I always give my Compliments to the author. The book presented the characters well and included excellent storyline. Thanks. Your characters are full, rounded and interesting, your plot rises and falls like perfection. I was very impressed with this book; the writing is excellent and the plot keeps me entertained till the last chapter. An great spin-off that kept my (electronic) pages turning late into the night. I've read several books by this author, and so far, I have enjoyed everyone of them.

may want to grab some tissues. there is so much sadness and grief with Graham, something he doesn't want to remember. Blake is a force on her own, giving it back yo Graham when he was a major d*ck to her. I do think he over reacted when Blake told him her " secret", which he later apologized. I highly recommend this book.

About the author

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.
