I was so excited to hear that Melody Anne decide start a new Series with a whole new set of Anderson. The Anderson Family has a way of winning your heart over.

Finn is the first book in the new series and it is great.. The book start off with Finn and his brothers finding out about the family they never knew they had with the always amazing Joseph Anderson. Joseph always want to help his family has them start on new project one the brothers feel close to all their hearts. When Finn goes to the town where the project will begin he find Brooke. Brooke going through own personal struggle doesn't think she read for love but leave it Finn to show her.

I love the story and how Finn follow his heart to show Brooke how good they would be together. I love how the story has family, friend, and love.

Melody Anne started the new series awesome! Great read!

While this is a new series, Joseph Anderson was not new to me due to reading other series where he was present. He is a wealth man but what makes him stand out is the love for his wife and his family. Along the way Joseph might have helped his kids, nieces and nephews find the love of their life. This is a new series about 5 brothers technically Joseph’s cousins but due to their ages being close to his kids, he is more like an uncle.

Finn is the oldest of the five brothers. This is his story. Finn previously a Navy Seal has been retired due to injury. He is trying to keep his family together after the loss of their mother. In walks Joseph Anderson to their lives explaining they are related and they are now part of the Anderson family. Finn has never had a real father figure, since his own dad was nothing he wanted to be like. But he was not looking to start now with Joseph Anderson.

Brooke is a nurse practitioner who has recently suffered the loss of her brother who was also her only family. Her two best friends try to help her keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Brooke attends a self defense class being taught by Finn and sweeps him off his feet. Finn is so attracted to her, he is determined not to let her get away.

Will Brooke be willing to take a chance and let her walls come down for a retired navy seal? Will Finn find a way to get her to let him in? Has Finn now figured out his direction after forced retirement? Will Joseph Anderson somehow help to get Finn and Brooke together given his success in the past at matchmaking.

This is a steamy story but more importantly the characters could be people in your life. The struggles and childhood disappointments are sadly part of today’s normal.

I really enjoyed the story and I look forward to the next book in the series.

This book was interesting...
I loved the description and the story line was great if somewhat predictable. As the first book in a new series Finn certainly set a standard. He was very persistent and unlike most "book guys" seemed to actually listen and not make many mistakes while pursuing Brooke. This was an enjoyable read and I look forward to other books in the series.
I volunteered to read this book from Montlake Romance in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Finn is gone on Brooke from the first moment he looks at her. Not so quick for Brooke. I loved some of the "non-date's" that they went on. Very adventurous and inventive.

I was given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another book by Melody Anne drawing on old favourite characters from some earlier series and new characters introduced in this latest series. Easy to read, romantic with a new hero, Finn. I loved his character as he was sensitive, caring, intelligent and loving. The perfect hero.

Whilst the format is predictable, these romances are slightly steamy, feel good books which can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend reading them all to learn the characters and follow their lives.
I cannot wait to read the next book.

A new set of Andersons to love and watch Joseph work his matchmaking magic.

Finn Anderson is a SEAL that reluctantly has to give up his military career after a near fatal injury. He now needs to decide where to go from there. He and his four brothers lives will be flipped upside down after the death of their mother. They learn that they are long-lost relatives to the rich and famous Joseph Anderson. Joseph puts the brothers to work building a new veterans center, and begins his matchmaking magic.

Finn struggles with his early retirement from the elite SEAL team until he meets a very confident Brooke Garrison who sweeps him off his feet.

Finn knows from the moment he meets Brooke that she is it for him. Brooke is dealing with the loss of her brother and is not sure she can risk loving and losing another person in her life. but Finn has no intention of giving up on the person he has been looking for all his life. They both will learn what it feels like to let love in when others have failed or disappointed you.

Love Melody Anne books, and have them preordered for customers. This one was enjoyable, but wasn't my favorite. While there were some of the other characters and family from previous books, it was missing some of the interactions and dynamics I've grown to love. Joseph was there, but I guess I'm a book snob and just wanted a little more. For someone who hasn't read the other books, they won't miss it, as this was well written and a complete story. Plus, being the first of a new series with other brothers to look forward too I'm guessing we will get more family interactions in the next books.

Finn is the oldest of five brothers. When his mother passes away, they find out their father was a part of the Anderson family. They meet Joseph Anderson and he has a proposition for them. He wants them to help build a center for veterans. Finn is weary of Joseph because he never had a father figure and claims he doesn't want one now. The meddling Joseph doesn't give up just gives Finn all the time he needs to get used to a big family. Brooke is a nurse practitioner and a former Army medic. Her brother is killed a few months ago while in the military. He is the only family she had and doesn't know how to survive without him. Then she meets Finn and he comes at her like a wrecking ball. As soon as Finn lays eyes on her, he knows she's the one for him but Brooke is not thrilled about him interrupting her life. That just make Finn want her more and he'll do anything to make her his.
Awesome story with romance, sex, and a couple of tear jerking scenes. I have been waiting for a new story by Melody Anne and I was not disappointed. Can't wait to see which brother falls in love next.

Finn is another book in Anderson Billionaire series.
Brooke meets Finn when he gives self defense class to women. In few seconds when she puts Finn on his back, he knows, she is for him. He inform his brothers that he is going to marry her. Easier said than done. She doesn't want relationship, she didn't have nice parents and her brother, she loved very much, is dead.
Great story, loved visiting with Anderson's again.

This is the first book my Melody Anne I have ever read and I loved Finn's story.

This is the first book in a series and it is the story of Finn and Brooke Garrison.

Finn is a loyal military veteran who did not want to leave the military but he had too. His four brothers and him are surprised to find out that are related to extremely wealthy Joseph Anderson. Joseph has a project of a new veterans center for the brothers to work on.

Finn is struggling with his forced retirement from being a Navy Seal. But when he meets Brooke during a self defense class and she literally knocks him off his feet he stops thinking about the past and starts thinking of a new future.

Brooke's brother and really only family was in the military and died. His death has been hard on her. She doesn't want to risk loosing anyone else so she try's to keep her distance from Finn. Can Finn knock down Brooke's walls? Can they find there happily every after?

I loved this book. It was funny at parts romantic, sweet, and sad as well. It had real emotions and characters that had real problems and felt like real people. I highly reccomend you check out this book it was so good. A 5 star read.

I recieved a free copy of this book from Netgalley and voluntarily am giving my honest review.

“Finn”, by Melody Anne (Montlake Romance), started out as an entertaining story, with relatable characters. Predictable and clichéd, but still enjoyable with the human dimensions, the pain the leads had gone through, with some fairy tale tones, too.
I began to feel frustrated when the hero, whom I was expecting to be wounded, turns into an actor, feigning injuries to conquer the heroine he’s just met but already decided he’s going to marry. The cockiness was a bit irritating and Finn’s behavior idiotic, just as his doctor friend says.
A succession of events against a backdrop of family, friends and happy couples, follow, not really grabbing my interest. Lots of sex scenes, too. I was expecting to read more about the veteran’s center project.
So, not my type of story, others might like it.

This is an offshoot from the original "Anderson Billionaires" series. It was good to catch up with Joseph and a few of his family members as well as a surprise appearance from another character from her another of her series. I liked Finn and his brothers. It was a refreshing change having the hero be the one who is solid in his love and have the heroine, Brooke, be the indecisive one. The chemistry between the two was strong and the relationship between Finn and his brothers was great. The only negative I would comment on was that this was somewhat dragged out in parts where it seemed to be repeating itself.

I was given a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Finn is another romance in the Anderson Billionaires stories. Head of the family Joseph Anderson , estranged from one of his uncles , a really awful con man he wanted nothing to do with learns his uncles wife is dying, he visits her and learns she has five sons who he promises to keep an eye on and help, especially after learning of their childhood. After the death of their mother he invites all the sons to Seattle, each has done well with the loving support off their mother when growing up.
Finn the eldest son has been medical discharged after being injured by a suicide bomber and is finding life difficult being out of the military. Whilst in Seattle he meet Brooke a tough but compassionate ex military medic, he fall instantly in love with her much to the amusement of his brothers. Brooke is still grieving and reeling from the loss of her soldier brother, and although realises there is a great attraction for Finn is frightened of becoming to involved and having her Heart broken again.
Their passion ignites as their relationship develops. A lovely read no great angst or drama but full of humour and a cast of great characters.
My thanks to net galley and publisher Montlake for the opportunity to review this book honestly .

Both Brooke and Finn were fiercely independent. Neither grew up in a home with two loving parents, so neither expected to ever marry or have a family. When they met, it was like a chemical explosion. Despite his prior aversion to marriage, Finn knew right away that Brooke was the one. Brooke, however, was determined to fight her feelings for Finn.

Can two people who have never had the opportunity to witness a happy marriage, and who are fiercely independent compromise enough to find their happily ever after?

Finn is sometimes just too much for his family, “I’m going to marry Brooke Garrison.” The room went utterly silent as four sets of eyes stared back at Finn as if he’d lost his mind." Finn sometimes questions his woman's choices, “really? A pottery class?” he asked as he held out his huge hands. “Do you honestly think I can build something delicate?” I liked this book, I loved Finn.
