Luke's Daughters

This is the first book in the Brennan Brothers series. This is the story of Luke.Matt and Kristen are engaged. Matt goes off to a special forces assignment and his family is told that he is dead. Kristen is pregnant, so Luke offers to marry her so that her baby has a father. Luke and Kristen have always been friends and several years into the marriage there friendship grows and the marriage becomes 'real' and, as a result, another child is born. Five years after leaving on assignment Matt comes back. Kristen and Lukes marriage falls apart and they get divorced. Kristen marries Matt. This is difficult for everyone: Luke, Matt Kristen, and the girls. This book starts with Matt coming back and the problems that it creates. Luke has to learn to deal with his loss and open his heart to love again. Most of the time you want to smack Matt for being a jerk along with Matt and Lukes family. Nobody wins in this situation, but they have to find some middle ground. Lynnette Kent did a great job at getting Luke's feelings and emotions across in the book. Sad, but highly enjoyable.

At first the plot is farfetched. However, as I read on I liked the story a lot and fell in love with the characters. I felt sorry for Luke who gave up his family in order to make his ex happy, but I also felt sorry for Matt who came back after so many years and had to start all over again.
