While her loving brothers were dealing quietly with the passing of their father, Jessie didn't have anyone to confined in until Alex came along and said Jessie is on his team. Yet their connection came to an end when her mother left off to England. Jessie have been living with her mother in England for the past 14 years, coming to Philly only because the other siblings couldn't spend the Christmas in London as they did every year because of an important deal (already mentioned in the first book in the series, the one with the shipyard).
When both Alex and Jessie see each other for the first time in 14 years they are both shocked at their feelings for one another, it's not "love", naturally.. but there is something there, unfinished, between them that now can be looked into. Yet it's not exactly easy considering Alex's reputation as a "man-whore", after all he DOES see about 5 different women a week.. But as Alex realizes he has 5 weeks with Jessie until she returns home to London they both decide they want to explore the connection they share. It's strange for Alex that Jessie believes in the goodness in him, sees someone he doesn't even see when he looks in the mirror. Jessie sees Alex as a man, not a teenager, but she also remembers his heart back then and how much he meant to her, how much he did for her and she won't look at him and mistrust him because of his recent future. I actually don't think there is ANYONE else that could have seen the good in him the way she does, especially because she known him when he was "pure of heart". He had his reasons for not pursuing relationships but even he realizes his reasoning was a bit off hehe
Like the previous ones, since it's quite short, there isn't a lot of angst or a big issue to deal with besides the real struggle to finding a way to be together when they don't even live in the same continent which is enough of a heart ache.. All in all, it's a sweet romance of finding the one who always had your heart :)
I gotta say, Stratton's story is THE one I'm looking forward to, I just love the silent type.. The "gigolo" was never my "thing", but I gotta say it was handled perfectly in this one not to mention Jessie was PERFECT for him, I loved how determined she was not just about Alex, but about herself and the decisions she was willing or unwilling to make (like her brothers trying to make her NOT see Alex).

ABOUT THIS SERIES
"The English Brothers" is Contemporary Romance series by Katy Regnery.
It's a part of the "Blueberry Lane" universe where 4 VERY rich houses
are located. Each "sub-series" centers around one family - (1) English - (2)
Winslow - (3) Rousseaus - (4) Story.
Generally
speaking each book can be read as a standalone but I think that though
it doesn't matter with each "sub-series" you start it makes sense that
whichever you chose you start with the first book in that particular
"sub-series".
While most books are quite short and not complicated they are easy and fun reads. I really enjoyed them.
