Mystery and misery scar their young lives. Three sisters and their foster brother are torn apart by tragedy and scattered across the country to grow up alone…

Hope Prescott lives in Boston, far from the warm, southern home she recalls. She works hard with one goal in mind—finding her long-lost siblings. Yet her job at the answering service and her own loving nature creates a family of friends, people she knows only by their voices. She especially likes Griswald, gruff old butler for wealthy Zack Givens.

Meeting Griswald is a shock; he is neither gruff nor old, but a powerful, handsome man. In fact, he is Zack Givens, cold, heartless—and charmed by the artless young woman who brings him chicken soup, treats him like a friend…and falls in love with the humble man she imagines him to be. When she discovers Zack’s secret and faces his betrayal, she leaves without a backward glance. Can Zack solve the mystery that haunts Hope's past to prove their futures lie together?

I love to follow characters through a series and what better way than to do that than with a family with lots of brothers? Here are some of the best Historical Romance Series featuring biological brothers! 

 

 

1.  MacEgan Brothers by  Michelle Willingham

 

     Her Warrior King - Patrick MacEgan 

     Her Irish Warrior-  Bevan MacEgan

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.Allie was ripped away from her family at a very young age by some natives. Being forced to live with a tribe that used her, she learnt what it meant to be a "throwaway woman". A woman of little value or worth. For example, Allie was fed the scraps only if there were any left over; and if she made something for herself, she had to make countless others for others in the tribe, before she would be allowed to keep that thing for herself.When her tribe is attacked, Allie sneaks away to a secret place in the caves she has made for herself and lives in peace for the first time after her kidnapping. But after years of living there by herself, she ventures out too far one day and is taken by the white men to "save her". Only the preacher she is left with likes to save her by beating her, and blames her when he rapes her. But that isn't where it ends, the preacher lends her out to other men who rape her and beat her if she resists. Being scarred inside and out, Allie trusts no one. So when she sees a man being beaten from inside her cage, she literally reaches out to him. Because she knows what it means to be beaten. If not worse. Wes McLain doesn't know what to make of the wild girl inside of the cage, who touches him with understanding in her gaze. Unwilling to leave her to the brutal hands of her handler and the preacher, he thinks to save her by breaking her out. Except with all plans that are made on the spot, it is flawed. For the whole town knows who Wes McLain is and is after him for committing the "criminal act" of kidnapping a girl, who they think can't think for herself. Even though he thinks to set her free in the wild, he knows that he will be punished. But Allie isn't going anywhere. Bewildered by the wounded stranger who saves her, she feels indebted enough to him to take him to his doctor brother. After that, she thinks she will leave. But soon she is coaxed by the family into taking a shower, eating, sleeping and dressing respectably. When the morning comes and brings with it the preacher and his men, the only solution to the crime of kidnapping is marriage.What I loved about this book was the characters. The characters were beautiful and had depth. Wes was a gruff man who has been hard done by life. Although his bark is worse than his bite, and that's something Allie realises with time. Allie, is a girl who is scared of people, even of the man she saved and who saved her. She longs to go back to the simplicity of the wilderness. But fear does not make Allie weak or cowardly, instead it makes her fight back, and fight back she does!

:::sigh::: I do love a marriage-of-convenience set in the old west.... Even better when the hero is a hot (widowed) reverend and the heroine is a kind, loving orphaned family outcast, not to mention a virgin with more than her fair share of womanly bosom LOL.... This book has it all.

Texas Destiny (Texas Trilogy, #1) - Lorr... Starts slow with a metric fuck ton of angst over the hero's scars, goes nuts with adjectives and flowery metaphors, but nails yearning and sexual tension like a boss.
