3.5 stars

This is a sweet military romance of insta-love and persistence to claim and hold on to that love. Finn and Brooke were both incredibly lovable and endearing characters.

Finn was instantly smitten with Brooke from the moment she took him down. Her independence and strength only intensifies his feelings for her. But a Brooke has only known love from one person in her life and now that he’s gone, she’s not eager to open herself up for that and risk losing it.

Im not sure if it was my frame of mind at the time I read this, but I had a hard time focusing on their story. No matter how many times I picked it up I found my mind wandering. My only issues was the speed of their story. It was just too slow to keep me engaged. Aside from that, I truly adored Finn and and Brooke. They were wonderfully relatable characters. It was just their story that felt drawn out.

Finn as the older brother looks out for all his brothers and is very leery of Joseph Anderson. He has a hard time letting go of that feeling of "things are just too good to be true".

I loved how Joseph knew when to approach Finn and when to back off. The project that Joseph recruited the Anderson brother's for not only seemed tailor made for each of them it also had special meaning to Joseph and his wife. Which in turn pulls them all in closer as a family.

Brooke, the town doctor, meets Finn during his self defense class. He knows instantly that she's the one for him. She recently lost his brother and has no interest in dating. He's doing his best to change her mind. I love Brooke and Finn together.

This is a wonderful start to a new series.

Oh how I love the Anderson family and this new branch included. I think each one is my favorite until the next one comes along. Joseph once again uses his powerful presence to nudge Finn and Brooke along. Both confirmed single forever sure changed. When it's love, it's love! I loved the phrases from Friends, I loved that show. The reference to Ruth Cardello was a welcome surprise too. It's great to see authors that support each other. I wish this family well and can't wait to see each brother fall and I can't wait to see if Brookes besties become family. Well done once again Melody Anne. And with the service men and women getting recognition it means so much.

I just loved Finn! He was too perfect of a man to exist in real life, and he just made this story. I've only read one other book by this author so I didn't know any back story of the Andersons, but I was not lost at all. Joseph is a great secondary character that I feel like was a big part of the last series, and I look forward to more of him in the next books of this series. Brooke may get a bad review from some people, but I could totally relate to her. I was her to a lesser extreme, fear will do that, so I got her in a way some may not. But oh, once you give into the love.....
And my favorite part of a romance, the first I love you-I couldn't wipe the smile from my face-it was so good!

hen an injury ended Finn’s career, he finds himself trying to adjust to civilian life and what he wants for his future. Upon the passing of his mother Finn and his four brothers meet Joseph, and the family they never knew they had, but he is being cautious in case they are anything like his father. He has relocated to Seattle and is part of a project that will build a new facility for veterans as well as teaching self defense which is where he meets Brooke.

Brooke is is trying to deal from the passing of her brother, and only family, while he served overseas. She is alone except for her two best friends Chloe and Sarah and the relationship between them is fun to watch.

From the moment that they meet Brooke makes an impression on him and he knows that they are destined to be together. The only thing standing in their way is convincing her and that is a challenge he is prepared to win.

Brooke and Finn are perfect for each. This story features a great mix of secondary characters that leaves us looking forward to more of this family and this series.

An incredible 5 star read from Melody Anne. Touching on the needs and lives of our Veteran's. The story of Finn Anderson and Brooke Garrison will make you feel proud of those who served but also tug at your heart strings and give you a story that will you move you to the tips of your toes.
Finn didn't know how he was going to come to grips with life outside of the military, until new family member members and a new project was presented to he and his brothers.
Brooke was struggling with the loss of her brother and just existing in life trying to do it one day at a time.
As with all the books featuring Joseph Anderson it is so family oriented, this one however does require tissues.

Okay, so the story is actually a solid 3.5 read for me but better than 3 stars so that’s why you see 4 LOL There’s not a specific big thing in the story I can say that made it just an okay read for me, but I will say that Finn himself was a lot ! Like, eye twitching amounts LOL The concept of him was good but the execution was sooooooooooooo over the top that …. You get me so I’m moving on from him. The style of writing isn’t a bad one, but it’s not what I prefer. I tend to bore easily with a story if the characters are too introspective and for me, Brooke did entirely too much of that. Yes, the dual POV helped, but it’s just not my thing *shrug*

I know it sounds like I didn't enjoy this story, but that isn't the case. I just didn't love a lot of the execution and I'm hoping that it gets better with future books :)

This is my first time reading a Melody Anne book. The book Finn was so middle ground for me though. It started off great, the premise of family is everything and love each member where they are, really made me so happy to dig into this book. Finn was very likable and his instant attraction for Brooke was fun. Brooke was even easy to like. The problem I had was with how Finn was supposedly uneasy about the fortunes his new family cultivated but how easily he adapted to the lifestyle. I felt his values were easily changed and that left me a little flat. I was actually hoping for a better ending too, for Finn's sake. I won't spoil it for the reader.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Finn is a military veteran that has his life turned upside down.
He had no idea that he was related to the Anderson's, those wealthy Andersons.
He just want to live his simple life.
When Brooke was able to knock Finn down during defense class, she did not anticipate the outcome.
Finn was totally smitten by Brooke, but Brooke had shut down emotionally.
Let the wooing begin!
I think that it was time for Brooke to find love again.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I’m always up for a new Melody Anne Series and Finn doesn’t disappoint. Finn is a great hero as he is a little lost because of injuries requiring him to leave his beloved career in the military. However, the minute he lays eyes on Brooke Garrison he is a goner. What I loved about his character is once he realized what Brooke meant to his heart and life he didn’t give up. He was so loveable in his desire to win Brooke’s love. He had such a great personality and didn’t let anybody discourage him and he took all the teasing from his brothers in such a fun loving manner. Brooke on the other hand had some trust issues and was trying to get through the loss of her beloved brother. She didn’t think she was ready for a relationship so she kept her walls up so she wouldn’t be hurt. Once she started to let Finn in she realized what she truly wanted in this life. Brooke’s two best friends and Finn’s brothers added such fun and laughter to the story as secondary characters.

This story is a great start to this series and I look forward to finding out how each of Finn’s brothers gets their HEA. I’m sure this author with her love of writing about big families and the ups and downs that goes with that will find interesting and lovely ways to bring these stories to eager readers.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.

It was great to delve back into the Anderson’s again...Joseph is always a joy to read about and his family just keeps growing. In this book we meet Finn Anderson, he’s the oldest son of Joseph’s estranged brother. Regardless of Finn and his siblings length of time away from Joseph and his growing clan Joseph still takes them in with open arms. This just shows the true testament of how good of a person Joseph is.

Finn has his hang ups but he slowly realizes that he not only is but wants to change to be better for Brooke. Brooke was still healing from being broken by the death of her brother but Finn was patient with her because he just knew she was the one.

This book didn’t have drama nor was it angsty...but it really didn’t need it. It will be interesting to watch the rest of this brood fall.

Finn of course was another overly anxious Anderson to find a woman and want to marry her without the feelings being mutual. Brooke was extremely strong-willed and at times a little overbearing when it came to her attitude towards life and her ability to take care of herself. I loved the way Brooke and her friends had such a strong bond and the way Finn took care of her regardless of her acknowledging her true feelings. As always Joseph Anderson made an appearance and meddled which I really love and can't wait to see him work more magic on the newly found Anderson kids.

I received an ARC from netgallery and I am voluntarily providing this review.

Finn is the first book I have read by Melody Anne and it will not be the last. This book was so refreshing and I could not put it down!

Finn Anderson is such a breath of fresh air. I am so used to heroes who are trying to hold onto their bachelorhood and are super reluctant to settle down. Finn was the complete opposite. He knew as soon as he met Brooke that he wanted more and honestly, I never expect that out of the hero in a book. Brooke, however, was much more reluctant. I also appreciated this since it also seemed out of the norm. I feel like typically the woman is falling all over the man and ready to commit as soon as possible. Brooke was more skeptical and was constantly trying to keep the walls around her heart.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick and lighthearted read and I definitely recommend it. I cannot wait to read the rest of the brothers' stories!

3.5 stars
I’m always looking forward to read military love stories and this book seemed perfect for my mood.
The characters are lovely and reliable, their back story and interaction is great as well as the writing style.
Unfortunately something felt off for me. I love Brooke and her independence as well her broken heart and fears, but Finn was acting a bit too childish too many times for my liking and other times he was too much to deal with.
Overall it’s a nice, easy read that I’m sure many people will enjoy it.

What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Part of a series: Anderson Billionaires
Standalone
HEA
Epilogue

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

The Andersons are back with long lost cousins in tow.

Enter the meddling, determined but always lovable Joseph Anderson. A chance is given to the 5 brothers all with different skills to work together on a project of high caliber and expectations.
Love is never far behind with Joseph Anderson in the picture, here in the form of nurse practitioner Brooke and her besties Sarah and Chloe There has been loss in Brooke’s life as fear sets in where there was once love. Love can’t dictated nor denied as Brooke and Finn soon find out - HOT, SEXY, INSATIABLE
Through perseverance, and patience love is given a chance. “You couldn’t love a person with everything you had without utter devastation at losing them.”
Finn is a true leader as he knows when to lead and when to take heed as he follows his heart.

I can’t remember if I read any other Anderson Family books by Melody Ann, but it’s a big family so I might have.

Joseph Anderson is the matriarch of the Anderson Clan and loves to meddle in his families love life.

Finn and his four brothers are thrown into the family as they are the son of an Anderson and have “just been found” as their Mother contacts Joseph from her deathbed.

Joseph brings them in and immediately has a project for them so they stay close.
This book is about Finn and Brooke.

It’s insta-love for Finn after a good 15 minutes into the book and Brooke stays insecure for a long time. It’s repetitive and isn’t my favorite by this author. I had to make myself finish through the cheesy-ness of it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Finn by Melody Anne is book One in the Anderson Billionaires. This is the story of Finn Anderson and
Brooke Garrison. Finn is was once a solider with a Seal Team but had to retire due to a injury then he learns that he and his family are apart of the famous Joseph Anderson family. So he is dealing with life changes then he meets the Brooke who is the local doctor. Finn is immediately attracted to her but his feelings start going further then the first attraction part. Brooke is dealing with a loss of her own but isn't so willing to put her heart out to be hurt so she isn't so easy going with this new feeling she gets from Finn.
Enjoyed their story

I love the idea of more Anderson’s. I thought this book started off a little slow and maybe it was just laying the ground work for the new clan. I’m glad I kept reading because it got much better. I love that the guy in his book was the first one to fall. The girl wasn’t the one falling at his feet. It was a nice change from most modern romances out there. Finn and Brooke are very well suited and also people with hard pasts. Can’t wait until Noah and Sarah.

Match making at its BEST!

In another great Anderson family book we get to watch Finn and Brooke and the medaling family patriarchs.

Melody Anne’s written another perfect love story. The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and everything I expect from the Anderson’s. I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
Authors Blurb: Finn Anderson is a loyal military veteran who has no desire to live a life of luxury and ease, but sometimes a person doesn’t get a choice. His life is flipped upside down when he and his four brothers learn they’re long-lost relatives of the absurdly famous and wealthy Joseph Anderson. The eccentric but generous billionaire puts the brothers to work building a new veterans center, and that’s not all: Joseph won’t stop until each nephew finds love. Finn has never expected or wanted an easy life, and he struggles with his early retirement from the elite SEAL team. But when a very confident Brooke Garrison literally sweeps him off his feet during a self-defense class he’s teaching, he thinks less about his past and more about a brand-new future. If Finn knows anything for certain, it’s that he can’t let this woman get away. Though Brooke is tough and compassionate, the loss of her brother has left her vulnerable. She isn’t sure she can risk loving and losing another person in her life, including a very determined ex-SEAL. Can the two of them look beyond their past wounds and embrace what they’re feeling?

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕
