It all starts with a feeling.

Something isn’t right – hasn’t been since love found its way inside Mama’s Brood – gets more wrong the moment Lucas ‘Big Country’ Beaumont is captivated by the raw sensuality of Stormy Redmond.

Never one to be controlled by anything as deceptive as a woman’s nature, Big Country relies on a tried and true system to ensure his dealings with women remain relegated to mutually beneficial transactions that end when he says they end.

Or so it was…before that feeling.

Now, faced with the consequences of one unfortunate decision, and a past that will no longer be ignored, Big Country struggles to contain the truth of his nature lest it destroys everyone he cares about, including Stormy, the one woman capable of showing him why a man would be willing to die for something as foolish as love.

OMG... I just loved this book!!!

The story was well plotted and executed, full of action and drama, chocked full of humor throughout. Mama's Brood is a special bunch of misfits who rely on each other for their different specialties when they are out in the field. They have formed a family like cohesiveness with real concern for each other on and off the job. This story also dealt with people whose thinking was one bubble off center and failing to see reality.

When Lucas "Big Country" Beaumont first saw Stormy "Sienna Red" Redmond, he thought she was as beautiful as moonlight in the bayou. His sterile interactions with women before hand was only needed to scratch an itch and satisfy "Big Bubba's" need. He thought he would get his Sienna Red to agree to sign one of his love contracts and his need would be satisfied but "Big Bubba" had other plans.

Stormy Redmond had been divorced for three years and her girlfriends kept trying to push her into getting back out there in the world. I just loved reading their conversations with each other. They were true BFFs with their candid talk with each other. When she met Big Country at Mama's bar, she did not let him treat her any kind of way. She refused to be just another playthang. She wanted their relationship on her terms too and refused to tailor her life around another man like her ex did her. She was not ready for a relationship per se, but that first time together had them both reconsidering. Their erotic scenes together was on fiyah, better than Fifty Shades fiyah, IMHO. Big Country's Sienna Red was the only woman he allowed himself to fall in love with. She was the only woman that soothed his "blue light" that tortured him since childhood. She was the first woman to truly have his back without wanting anything in return but his love. She was the first woman to truly love him.

My only problem I have with the author's writing was some French Creole/ Cajun terms in the story. She used the word "chi" throughout as a term of endearment. What should have been used instead is the word "cher" (masc.) or "chere" (fem.), pronounced without the hard "r". Being of South Louisiana Creole descent, I just could not let this one slide as the term is used in my family all the time. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is now added to my to be re-read list. I laughed from the beginning to end, especially the Teat and Meat scene and the resort scene. Great job Shay! I can't wait to see what else members of Mama's Brood will be up to in the future.

Yasss! I’ve been waiting for Big Country since I’ve read Zues years ago!
Big Country is fabulous. I love a stalkerish hero! He was alpha and sexy and I loved some Bubba! Big Country has depth that I wasn’t expecting.
Stormy is the perfect heroine for him!! She was sexy, sassy, and perfect. Stormy is a trip! I loved her sexuality and humor. Her and Lucas had me rolling on the floor. I love a heroine that is vulnerable and open but still strong. Ms. Rucker has a talent because both of her heroines are perfect mix of strong and lovable.
Now I couldn’t give this book 5 ⭐️‘s because of the following. I felt there were moments of too many points of views. Sometimes I felt the story got off track. And I didn’t get a teaser of what’s to come. Who is the next brooks member to find love. I’m hoping Lynx but I’ll be happy with whoever.
Read this book!!!!

More of the Brood

This book is the second installation of Mama’s Brood. This story is about Big Country and his love interest Stormy. Most of the Brood show up or we hear about them. Cizan is back in the country and he seems fascinating. Is it wrong of me that while I really enjoyed Big Country, Stormy and their respective families I was really way more interested in the times Zeus appeared? I could really read a whole new story about him. Will Sabrina ever make up the bed? Asking for a friend.
Anywho, the action in this story is a direct connection to the action from the previous story. I idly wondered when Zeus killed Kragen would it end there. It did not. His father and some mysterious religious leader has sent an assassin to kill Sabrina and Zeus. Unfortunately for the assassin, she is sidetracked by some Big Country loving....and Bubba wasn’t even in the game. The action and the assassin take us to a long awaited reckoning with Big Country and his beyond nasty family.
Because of his mother, Big Country has a Disassociative disorder. Stormy helps him cope but one of the funniest lines is when Zeus asks ....so I am the crazy one?
The story ends with the assassin taken care of and Big Country’s family in jail. This was an awesome story and I won’t try to tell it all. I really hope that books 3, 4, and maybe 5 are in the works. At least Lynx and Cizan???

I must admit this author is a wonderful story teller, but a bit wordy for my taste. Big Country had a lot to say just about every time he had something to say. It was so dramatic and drawn out. Like he loved listening to himself. I guess that is why he's Big Country. Stormy or Sienna Red, she was either a therapist or a sex toy shop owner, who goes on an adventure with B.C. to get rid of his parents with toxic criminal behavior to help his sister and siblings. The story was a bit confusing to me at times. There's Delilah, Kragan, a Cornelius, The Brood, Mama, etc. etc.

I was glad when I finished reading this long drawn out story. Don't get me wrong! I like this author's first book in this series, but sorry , my mind kept wondering while I was reading, and that's a sign of boredom for me.

I love Lucas and Stormy !! This book had romance and action ! I loved that Stormy was a strong woman who didn’t take no crap from Lucas or anyone else, willing to walk away if he didn’t love her correctly but also despite her past open to love . She wasn’t the insecure whiny brat most authors love to write h to be . My favorite part was the Angel situation I read that part a few times lol . I loved the few Zeus POV because I love him from the first book . I hope their will be more Mama brood books for the rest of the crew and I hope the h will remain strong capable women (maybe a another killer to add to the bunch that is as talented as the H) and I hope Bride will find her man too maybe someone like Garret will be interesting .

An apt title for this wonderful follow up to ‘The Edge of Love.’ And though there are brief yet memorable appearances of Zeus and Sabrina who are being shadowed by someone paid to seek revenge on them for the death of his son, the main story focuses the reader’s attention on Big Country or Lucas and his stormy relationship with Stormy Sinclair Redmond. Like Zeus, Lucas has a nightmare of a childhood with parents who not only did not care for him but they physically abused him (Sorry for the spoiler) Can you wonder why he views women as a business rather than someone to care about. He is more than happy to pay for his pleasure and thinks (Big Mistake) that Stormy is of that mould. His new lessons in life start with Stormy and he goes through a whole range of emotions before he can confess that he loves her and he wants more than just a financial agreement or contract. I just love the way Stormy treats him. Her training endows her with the ability to remain calm where most would have hit the roof and on the way down ... body slammed Lucas. However, she has the canny knack of handling him – even his dark side. We also get to know more about the Brood characters including Cizan, London and Lynx. Lynx plays an important role in this book and you cannot help but love him for his loyalty and close bond with Lucas. Will Shay make him the subject of the next book or will it be stressed Price from Book 1 (Edge of Love)
I cannot wait for your next book Shay. Please do not leave it too long! This was a great read and has whetted my appetite for more of Mama’s Brood!
I gave this 5 worthy stars because, although some questions were left unanswered, I know Shay will seek to address these in future books. Remember readers it is a series each with no cliffhangers and an HEA!! Please if you want action, humour and sensuality, buy this book. Oh and buy the first book 'The Edge of Love' Both would make wonderful Christmas presents!! Thank you, Shay!

I loved from the start of the book to the finish, this book has outshine the first and that was a brilliant five star plus read too. Big Country aka Lucas Beaumont was phenomenal, putting him with Stormy was the only woman who could have as she added substance to him.

This book is one of my favourites for this year, I loved every word written!!!! I look forward to reading more from Ms Rucker as she is one of the most talented authors I've had the pleasure in reading, her writing is exceptional and brings your, mind body and soul into her world she has created.

Good read but felt it went on far too long and I found myself skipping sections to get to the point of the story. Also didn’t have me LMAO as book 1. Also they seem to be able to have unprotected sex without contraception and not get pregnant!! All in all OK but not great

I absolutely loved this. A continuation from the first but with a very distinct storyline. I loved Stormy and Big Country. Their story was so unpredictable and funny but with a dark side. So well written. Can’t wait to read what comes next
