Brenda Jackson's stories are always provocative, noteworthy and uplifting reads. I have been a fan of hers since I was eighteen and know that every word she writes, every story she creates genuinely means something to her and her many fans around the world. Myself included. Family, friendships and love are focal points in every story she writes. That is one of the things I like most about the Westmorelands. Breaking Bailey's Rules was bittersweet to read because getting to know the Westmorelands of Denver is on the verge of ending. I liked Bailey. With the love and support of her family she has grown up to be her own woman. She speaks her mind and loves her family. What's interesting about Bailey is even though she has plenty of family that she knows can be counted on, she is still looking for a place to call her own. Walker is the complete opposite of Bailey. He's a loner that has been dealt a rough hand by life. He loves hard but grieves hard also. It took many false starts and missteps but Bailey and Walker finally got it right. Knowing that the Denver Westmorelands are winding down saddens me but Ms. Jackson did supply A beacon of light with the Outlaws. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Breaking Bailey's Rules is full of surprises, romance and family. What more could any reader ask for? ( )

REVIEW:   BANE (THE WESTMORELANDS) BY BRENDA JACKSON
 
Bane by Brenda JacksonMy rating: 3.75 of 5 starsFrom the minute I read the first Denver Westmorelands story, I knew I just had to read Bane and Crystal's journey back to each other. Through ever book since Dillon's(YES I OWN THEM ALL) I have tried sometimes in vain to find out little snippets of what was going on with this couple. So imagine how overjoyed I was to discover that their love story was on it's way. Crystal and Bane's reunion was one of surprises, thrills, love and a visit with past familiar faces. I am sad to see the end of another Westmoreland series but who knows what the future holds. I received an ARC of bane in exchange for an honest review. A good end to a wonderful series.

Twenty-six year old Bailey Westmoreland, sassy and beautiful, is tasked with being on her best behavior as she picks up Walker Rafferty from the airport. The ruggedly sexy thirty-five year old rancher is in Denver at the request of his best friend Garth Outlaw to help verify if the Westmorelands and Outlaws are related to each other. But true to her nature, Bailey speaks her mind which Walker quickly finds off-putting and intriguing. What neither of them expected or wants to admit is their mind-boggling attraction to each other. Besides why give into their attraction when Bailey has firmly stated she would never thinking of living anywhere else but “Westmoreland Country” and Walker with a guilt-laden past is firm about being a recluse on his ranch on remote Kodiak Island in Alaska. Their forbidden attraction continues to have a magnetic pull at their hearts while their bantering leads to a precarious game of unthinking statements followed by heartfelt apologies. That is until one accusation too many has Walker abruptly returning home and the ever impulsive Bailey trekking uninvited to Alaska to deliver a personal apology. Will the past and rules keep this couple from seeing home is where the heart is?

Brenda Jackson once again proves she is a master storyteller of rich and satisfying romances with fairytale endings. Fans of the Westmoreland series have watched feisty Bailey mature over the series and wondered who would be the man to win her heart. Bailey who up until meeting Walker never felt the emotional or sexual connections that kept him on her mind. Initially confused by these feeling but seeing how her brothers and cousins had fallen in love over the years was able to sort out her feelings. I enjoyed how Bailey sought advice from her family and processed the information in a way to allow her to be true to herself. Walker’s painful past experiences and losses have him locked within himself and refuses to be involved with another woman, no matter how much his heart wants her. How Walker faced his past and came to accept Bailey for who she was a very touching part of the storyline. I feel in love with Bailey and Walker and found their sexual tension and intimate moments electrifying.

Part of the story takes place in Denver (Westmoreland Country) but the majestic description of Alaska and Kodiak Island will have readers booking a trip to the area. The introduction of the Outlaws was well integrated into the storyline and I look forward to reading their stories. And the bombshell that Bane drops at the end sets up the next book very nicely.

BREAKING BAILEY’S RULES is the 26th book in the Westmoreland series. I would have to say that the clever plot points, the blazing chemistry the couple shared making each scene sizzle, the emotional depth displayed by the couple and of course the supporting family members makes for a compelling read.

Very good book. Bailey is the youngest of the Denver Westmorelands and deeply attached to her family, to the point where she refuses to consider falling for a man who would take her away from them. That resolve is tested when she meets Walker Rafferty.

In previous Westmoreland books, the family discovered that their grandfather had another brother. As family is so important to them, they have been searching for that brother and his family. They discovered that he had been adopted by a family named Outlaw who run a successful business in Alaska. When the book opens, the Outlaw patriarch has informed his five sons that he wants nothing to do with the Westmoreland's claims. Those sons, however, are not so quick to dismiss the obvious connection and ask their friend Walker to meet with the Westmorelands and see what he thinks.

The first meeting between Bailey and Walker has the sparks flying right away. Bailey is not pleased that some stranger is coming to essentially spy on them and makes her displeasure known. As the youngest in the family, she and her three youngest cousins had been considered hellions when they were younger. She still tends to be blunt in her opinions and Walker rubs her the wrong way. There is also an undeniable attraction between the two of them, demonstrated by a hot kiss that nearly gets out of hand. Bailey is upfront about her rules with men, and that one like Walker, who is tied to his own property in Alaska, would never fit in with her plans.

Both Bailey and Walker have things in their pasts that drive their attitudes toward those of the opposite sex. Bailey has seen many relationships come and go, many in heartbreaking ways, but family is always there for you. She has sworn that no man will tempt her away from her home. Walker was betrayed in the worst way by the woman that he changed his life for, and lost that which was most important to him. Now he is content with his solitary life on his ranch, with a few close friends, and no intention of allowing another woman that kind of power over him.

As the youngest in the family, Bailey is a bit spoiled. She also tends to be outspoken and judgmental. Her attraction to Walker has her somewhat discombobulated, and she finds herself being less than polite to him. One encounter leads to a misunderstanding that angers them both, though Bailey freely admits it when she finds she's wrong and apologizes. A second argument occurs when Bailey makes a request of him that shows that she really doesn't understand him or his motivations. This time he leaves Colorado before she can apologize, and she feels the only thing she can do is follow him to Alaska and make amends.

Walker is not happy when Bailey shows up uninvited at his ranch. He can't get rid of her immediately because of an incoming storm, so he is stuck with her for a few days. The tension continues to build between them, though both are determined to resist. Forced together by circumstances, they begin to get to know each other a bit, but Bailey will be leaving as soon as the storm passes. Then a ranch emergency has them rushing off to rescue a ranch hand. This event is intense and Bailey plays a huge and unexpected part in it. Walker is injured and Bailey is determined to take care of him, keeping her in Alaska for awhile longer.

I loved seeing Bailey fall under the spell of both Alaska and Walker. Though her rough edges are still there (I loved the descriptions of what happens when she loses her temper), there's a bit of maturing that goes on. Walker also begins to realize that though he enjoys his solitude, there is also some loneliness that he doesn't want to admit to. I loved seeing his friend Garth Outlaw calling Walker out on his refusal to own up to his feelings. When Bailey overhears something that makes her feel that Walker's feelings don't match her own, she runs for home, leaving Walker to decide if he cares enough to go after her. I loved seeing his big moment and how he went about making it happen.

There are several things I am looking forward to in future books. First is the last of the Denver Westmorelands, Bane, comes home. It is time for him to go after the woman he loves and has been apart from for years. There have been bits of their story mentioned in previous books, but this one ends with a surprising revelation that should make Bane's story even more interesting.

There is also the new branch on the Westmoreland family tree, The six Outlaw/Westmorelands are puzzled by their father's refusal to admit the connection between the two families. There seems to be some mystery behind it, and they are determined to find out what it is. I loved the little bits we learned about the new family members and I'm really looking forward to finding out more. ( )
