USA Today Bestselling author Kathy Ivan spent most of her life with her nose between the pages of a book. From best-selling authors to just-getting-started writers, as long as it was a good story, she devoured it and happily searched for the next romance novel. It didn't matter if the book was a paranormal romance, romantic suspense, or action and adventure thrillers, sweet & spicy or sexy novella. As long as there was an alpha hero and a feisty heroine who got their happily ever after, she'd gladly spend her time with a psychic in New Orleans, or a mysterious stranger manipulating the fates of lovers. You might find her deep in the woods with her werewolf lover, or being wined and dined by the sexy vampire who loved her, or talking to ghosts.

Kathy turned her love of reading into the next logical step, writing. Her books transport you to a paranormal lodge in the Colorado Mountains in her Destiny's Desire Series, and to the sultry splendor of the French Quarter in New Orleans in her award winning romantic suspense and mysteries. Kathy tells stories people love from reuniting old loves, betrayal of trust, finding kidnapped children, psychics and even a ghost or two. But one thing they all have in common - love (and some pretty steamy sex scenes too).

A native of Florida, Kathy has traveled from one set of islands to another, having spent several years in Key West, Florida, and months in Hawaii (Oahu). Happily living in North Texas, she's always on the lookout for a cowboy of her very own. (And if he's a billionaire cowboy, well, she won't say no to that.)

This was another wonderful story of her another wonderful Broudreau brother. I holding out hope there will be a Broudreau brother left over for me. It is difficult to choose a favorite one. They are all so different yet each has strong ethics and are chivalrous to the core. Each brother is swoon worthy on their own. Their choices in mates is pretty spectacular too. I look forward to the next story of Heath.
Thank you, Kathy Ivan, for keeping romance alive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lucas: Texas Boudeau Brotherhood #5
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020

Lucas is the fifth book in Kathy Ivan’s The Texas Boudreau Brotherhood series. In this book we get a closer look at Jill Monroe and Lucas O’Malley, who were once high school sweethearts. Their individualized collage and life pursuits led them on separate paths. Despite their separation, Jill is still included in Boudreau family events. So, it is natural that Lucas and she frequently cross paths. Jill dreams of owning her own bakery, but these dreams are squashed when goons bring her beaten brother, Dante Monroe, to her doorstep demanding she pay off his debts. Lucas followed his dream and built a career as a renowned investigative reporter. But life in Dallas Forth Worth is not as cracked up as he thought it would be. He knows that something is missing and realizes it is Jill. Also, Lucas continues to search for his long-lost sister, Renee. Will Jill and Lucas get together? Will they find happiness? What happens with Dante? Will Jill ever see her dream come true? Will Lucas reunite with his sister? To learn the answers to these questions you must read this book.

I enjoyed the way Ms. Ivan creates her characters. They are multi-layered. I appreciate how she reveals their dreams, strengths, and vulnerabilities. She allows readers to journey along with her characters as they work out their fears and challenges. I am fascinated how Ms. Ivan includes different brothers into her plot. Doing so allows readers to get to know each of the Boudreau brothers and appreciate this tight knit family. Ms. Ivan masterfully created a two-prong character-driven plot. One prong focuses on Jill Monroe. We witness her strong sibling bond and the lengths she endures to keep her baby brother safe. The second prong focuses on Lucas. The focus on Lucas covers two paths. The first his continued search for his missing sister. The second his pursuit of his next investigative expose. Ms. Ivan brilliantly weaves these two prongs together to create this suspenseful romantic plot.

I also appreciated Ms. Ivan's use of literary devices such as point of view, dialog, backstory, and descriptive language. Through the dialog and their internal dialog readers are provided an opportunity to get to know them better, to understand their personalities and to get their backstories. I also appreciated the way Ms. Ivan differentiated between the dialog between characters and the internal dialog by offsetting the text in italics. I also thought it was interesting how she depicted text conversations between Lucas and his brothers.

I was intrigued with the way she used point of view. She shifted between third person point of view and a dual point of view approach. The third person point of view provides the backstories. In this story, particularly, we learn more about the harmful effects of additions, like gambling. The dual point of view enhances readers’ understanding of Jill and Lucas’ past histories and their dreams. In so doing this, she endears with her readers. Additionally, Ms. Ivan's use of descriptive language vivid and realistic scenes. If you want to read a suspense romance, then you should read this one. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. Happy Reading.

They were best friends then sweethearts in high school. Lucas felt he needed the big city to find himself and his sister. Jill was broke hearted when he left. Lucas' career was at a place he could work from anywhere. He was beginning to realize the mistake he made. Hopefully it wasn't too late. Jill has always been in love with Lucas. She needed to guard her hearf. She wasn't sure she could live through a repeat. Because of her brother she was being drawn into illegal gambling that Lucas was writing a expose on.
Another excellent story of a Boudreau brother . love characters love the family

Lucas is an investigative reporter. He just finished a story that gutted him so he came home. Jill's dream has always been to open her own bakery. Ms.Patti has given her the means to make her dreams come true. She had some money saved up but her brother got in trouble again and she had to bail him out.
Lucas and Jill are slowly building their relationship again but it seems Jill has picked up an admirer. This is one admirer she needs to run far away from.
Will Lucas get his story? Will they find and stop her admirer? Will Lucas and Jill continue their relationship?

Loved this series and am wishing December would hurry and get here with Heath and hopefully the other three Brother's stories will follow. These clean contemporarie Texas, cowboy, billionaire books such a joy to read and hard to put down. When I read so long my eyes feel like they will call out and I have to stop my imagination take over and try to think what will happen next and it is never as good as the written word. So Thank You Ms. Ivan

Maybe that's what they should have called it although it's about the men at the moment a good story keeps you interested,quite a lot going on thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.A love story a bit of a thriller plus a mystery in the background so plenty to excite.
