Brighter than the Sun by Maya Banks features the last Kelly bachelor, Joe, on his quest to find true love. He’s fine with being on his own, even though his family is all coupled up a living it up with their children. The last person he thinks he’d be able to find this with is Zoe, the woman who’s currently on the run for her life but he falls fast for her despite the danger she has around her.
If you’ve followed the series you will enjoy the book, but it wasn’t the best I’ve read. There was a lot of information about the family, so it didn’t seem like the main couple was front and center the entire time. These two were a classic case of instalove, so there wasn’t the typical buildup that you get, especially since Joe is certain after a couple of meetings he wants to be with her forever. Despite that, they seemed to work, and I liked watching them together. The suspense was there, though a bit light, but overall it was a good addition to the series.
