The Brody Bunch #2
Lust: A Bad Boy and Amish Girl Romance
Ash: Most women fall for me pretty fast. Maybe it's my killer combo of muscles and good looks, or maybe it's my reputation of always leaving them satisfied, if not panting for more. But there's one thing I never do, and that's get involved for longer than it takes for both of us to get off a few times. Until Hannah Miller, that is. Somehow, she made me break all my own rules. Hannah: I knew Ash Brody was trouble the minute he started bouncing at the bar I work at, and not just because he began to hit on me from day one, even as he seemed to go home with a different woman every week. Everyone here knows about the Brody bunch. Everyone knows they're nothing but trouble. Hell, I grew up Amish and even I know it. And yet trouble is something I'm used to, almost comfortable with. I knew I could handle a man like Ash Brody. The only question is, could he handle me?

This is the story of Ash and Hannah. Both characters have had struggles in their lives and being the oldest have made sacrifices for the good of their siblings.
It was great to watch two very closed off characters go from a mutual fwb relationship to fighting true feelings for one another. I was a little nervous going into this book about Ash's character. In book one he was described as a somewhat selfish, cocky manwhore but he really steps up to be a great man.
Hannah has been dealt a raw deal in life and has had to deal with some serious issues. You really feel for her and her situation. You want everything to work out for her and her sisters.
I am now eagerly awaiting book three! I am excited to read Wyatt and Beth's story!
I received an ARC copy for an honest review!

I have to say I was eager most of all to see how Hannah and Ashley's story evolved and am glad it is the second book of the Brody Bunch Series. You know you are onto a winner when a book starts, 'Careful love, or you'll get wetter than you already are'! This first sentence just draws you in and keeps hold of you throughout the hot ride that is the whirlwind of Hannah and Ashley.
Together as the oldest siblings, these two are kick ass. They both know about sacrificing for their siblings and this has at times meant they have made decisions that aren't necessarily popular but have been for the good of their younger siblings. Together these two work well and have an understanding of what each has given up to get everyone to where they are now. They are funny and the banter is throughout the book with these two.
There is no doubt that the relationship between Hannah and Ashley starts out as a physical one but over the course of the book the two realize that even though they have some great, steamy and at time wild sex, there has developed something more in the relationship. Both characters used to using sex as a quick resort or a bargaining chip, it becomes a surprise and real struggle for both to admit that they actually feel more for each other than as causal friends with benefits sex. It is this development between the two that leads to a harrowing confession by Hannah and throws a whole new light on how Hannah saw their physical relationship and agreement made and thus just how important her quest to keep her younger siblings safe truly is.
It is here that Sienna shines for me as an author. Yes, Sienna writes hot passionate and steamy sex scenes that you maybe want to read at home rather than on a bus as I did but, the chapters written where Hannah reveals her secret and Ashley's support and reaction to it are just so well written that it spins the story so far from the narrative we have been following that even we as readers have a moment of doubt about having enjoyed all that has come before, just as Ashley does! Hannah's reveal may upset some readers but, this is pretty much alluded to throughout Pride and in Lust. The actual details however that come from Hannah's disclosure leaves you floored and shocked in its implementation and the simple fact that she truly feels that no-one would have take or take her seriously as the Amish are a separate community in which her father and elders exist in their own laws, is sadly not exclusive to Hannah and her upbringing. Sienna handles this with grace and tact and uses Ashley to support a fragile Hannah and enable her to regain some power back by reporting it for some possible future use.
I can't wait to see what happens with Beth and Wyatt in the next book....I have a feeling there may be trouble ahead for these two and I am sure we will see more of an alternative aspect of the story so far. It's a slightly different context for reading the same story but from three couples prospective but it actually works really well and I am enjoying reading the novel this way. This book in no way rehashes Pride, it is its own part of the story with comments on how Reid and Sarah's story threads through theirs. I'm sure with the completion of Beth and Wyatt we will have a full picture of what happened over this time-frame and I am glad we have will have this whole narrative rather than be left with gaps we as readers have to make up! Sienna Valentine has smashed this series so far, I can only hope the next book will continue to follow the great novels produced so far.
A great read....one of my favorites this year!

Just wow!!
The father's a bastard but Ash and his brothers are soooo good at being bad that I'm devouring this series!!
First thoughts!
OMFG I think I just wet myself with excitement!!! I have to get this book!!
Ash held my gaze.
“In all the world,” he said, “there’s no place I’d rather be.”

This is the second book in the series and contains Hannah and Ash's story. This was the first time I have read a series where they actually take place at the same time, not a continuation of a story but filling in some of the gaps from the first book.
I liked how Hannah was a strong, take charge character who will do anything to protect her sisters. We learn more about her past in this book, including a heartbreaking life altering event.
Ash is the oldest of the brothers and seems to be the jokester, non committed, player type but as we read this book you will dive into another whole side of him. The two of them together bring out the best in one another, even if they dont see it that way. I am excited to see what the third book has in store for me as it will be a third stance on the same days.

Lust was the second layer to what is definitely turning out to be a intriguingly complex story that has a depth deeper than you could imagine. It can be read as a standalone but you're able to fully appreciate the story when you read Pride first. Lust was the second installment to the Brody bunch. This story revolves around Hannah and Ash, the eldest of the Brody and Miller siblings. Out of the six, these two have the most mystery to them. They've both had dark pasts full of sacrifice for the betterment of their younger siblings. Hannah's story will utterly break your heart. Ash's story will open your eyes to a different man than the one you thought you knew. As the eldest myself, I could truly connect with them and their struggles. Sienna Valentine has truly went above and beyond with this series. I can't wait to indulge into the third and final installment to what is turning out to be one of my favorite series ever. I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

⭐4,5
La historia de Hannah y Ash me ha parecido mucho más interesante que la de Reid y Sarah, además de que veo algo más de trasfondo en sus historias, aunque tampoco le pondría como nota final un 5, en realidad sería un 4.5.
Algo que también me pasó con pride es que a mi parecer de desarrolla bastante rápido la historia, pero es algo más interesante.
De los tres libros este es el que más me gustó, seguido de Wrath y por último Pride

As ling as I suspend my knowledge of Amish culture, etc, the story is great. The writing is emotionally charged and the plot is great. Happy reading/listening!

4 1/2 stars!
A fast paced action packed book with lots of surprises! Ash is the eldest bad boy of the Brody Bunch. He's well known for being a player, but he has also lived a hard life with many secrets and the responsibilities of taking care of his brothers. Hannah is a formerly of the Amish community, but lives with many of her own secrets, demons, and the responsibilities of taking care of her sisters. They both have worked at the same bar for the last several months but she hasn't given him the time of day due to his player reputation. When she learns that her sisters are coming to visit during rumspringa, she knows that she'll have to do whatever she can to protect them. She makes a deal with Ash to help her out but has no idea what that decision is going to lead to, for all of them. Will Ash finally get the chance he's been wanting? Will Hannah keep her secrets or will she finally trust Ash to help her in ways no one ever has? Will they both be able to get past their demons, damaged pasts, and responsibilities to give the attraction between them a chance? Or will the secrets and danger keep them from getting the HEA they both truly deserve?
This was an emotional roller-coaster of a story, with an intriguing plot, lots of suspense, violence, secrets kept and some finally revealed, sizzlin' hot sex that will leave you breathless, and surprising twists that you'll never see coming. In this book, we finally learn more about the situation regarding Hannah and her sisters, the truth of how they all met and why, and more about this couples lives and their damaged pasts. This book answers a lot of questions from the first one, but I can't wait for the next one and see where this series will lead! There were a few scenes in this one that were repeated from the first book, only in a different POV. It got a bit repetitive, but I understand that this was necessary for these to be stand alone books.
Although each of these can be read as stand alone books, I suggest that you start from the beginning. Not only will you get to read great stories, but you'll get to learn more about each couple, as well as the sub-plot that seems to continue throughout all three books. Each book is a complete story about that couple, but there's more going on that you'll want to read all of them to see what happens next!
I strongly recommend this book, series, and fantastic author!

~TROUBLE~
This is the 2nd story of the three Brody Bunch (boys), it's time for Ash and Hannah's story! Each book is a stand alone story, but even BETTER when read in order! however I found that reading PRIDE-Book 1~ (Reid and Sarah's story), gave me a more in depth details of their lives together. I cannot wait for Book 3~Wyatt and Beth's story.
With his awesome body & looks, Ash can afford to be a player and enjoys every minute of it, women fall at his feet! He refuses to get deeper involved, there's no reason to, it's just satisfying sex, nothing more! That is UNTIL he has a taste of Hannah Miller! Hannah is so different, she makes him break his own rules. And now they cannot get enough of each other!
Hannah and Ash work together at Trick Shots, she's one of the bartenders and he's a bouncer. Ash seems to have a revolving bed, but hey they all seem happily satisfied. Growing up Amish, Hannah knows Ash is trouble! However she's used to trouble and it's almost comforting. She knows she can handle Ash, she's definitely not looking for anything but hard, hot & fast!
Hannah's sisters Sarah and Beth are starting their *Rumspringa, and visiting her. Hannah has asked Ash to have his brothers Reid and Wyatt help keep an eye on her sisters while they're finding out what it's like out in the "English world". They have no idea the dangers that are out there, Hannah wants them to have freedom to explore this new experience, but keep them safe as well! Can Hannah and Ash handle each other or will they combust? You'll have to read LUST to find out, but it'll it'll be panty melting HOT!!
*Rumspringa{an Amish rite of passage for youths who had not yet committed themselves to the church. A time when they could explore the English world—that was what we called anything outside our community—and decide which appealed more: the simple life, or the allure of something darker, more complex. A life of temptation. Of sin.(*direct quote from PRIDE-Book1)}
LUST is a HEA that'll leave you panting to get more of the Brody Bunch. Each of these stories are a standalone,
recommended for readers 17 and older. I give LUST 5 stars!

This book covers Ash and Hannah's story. In the first book Pride, we find out that these two have cooked up a plan for Ash's brothers to protect her two Amish sisters. In this book we find out how everything got started.
Hannah escaped from her Amish community two years ago and even though it was the best decision for her, it was also the hardest one since she left her two younger sisters behind. Now that they are on Rumspringa, she views this as her only chance to free them from a lifestyle that isn't at all what they think. Hannah enlists the help of bar bouncer Ash to protect her sisters from the trouble that she is sure to follow.
Ash is known as a playboy and is trying to break free from the reputation that his biker father left behind. He's had his eyes on Hannah for some time, but she isn't like any of the other girls he's bedded. She doesn't succumb to his charms or throw herself at him. When she asks for help and offers herself up as payment, he jumps on the chance to have her.
But as they spend more and more time together, he realizes that Hannah is hiding something about her past and why she left her Amish community. As things heat up between the two not only is Hannah's sister under attack, but so is Ash. Will their feelings for each other develop into something real, or will they keep each other at arm's length to protect themselves?
I loved that we get to see what led to the Brody Bunch protecting the Miller sisters. As Ash and Hannah's story unfolds, you get to see how those events coincide with the first book. Unlike Reid and Sarah's story, Ash and Hannah's romance starts on page one and is hot and intense. As the story unfolds, things are revealed about Hannah's history and why she left and fears for her sisters' safety. Hot, steamy, suspenseful read that answers many questions but leaves others unanswered and sets the stage for Beth and Wyatt's story. Loved how Hannah was song enough to handle Ash but could be vulnerable around him at the same time. Loved it!!

Hannah used to live the Amish life, but something had happened that made her leave on her Rumspringa and never return. Looking at her you would never have known she used to live that way of life, she works as a bartender at a popular bar and has fun with different guys with no strings attached. Ash he is a playboy and everyone knows it, the only care he has for his many lovers is that they enjoy they selves as well, besides for that there is no care and no relationships, so when Hannah finally lets him in after months of trying, he starts to feel something different when it comes to her.
What I enjoyed most about Lust A Bad Boy and Amish Girl is seeing both Ash and Hannah have these feeling for each other, but her thinking he is a playboy and that is what it would always be as he likes to have his pick of bed partners daily, and Ash thinking he wants to be a better man but that she deserves better then him. But willing to open him self up in order to try to get to the bottom of what she isnt telling him in the fact that she made this deal with him to protect her sisters while on their Rumspringa.
This book is fantastic, every page just sucks you in, never a dull moment. This story has a bad boy set of brothers out to protect the Amish sisters without 2 of the brothers or sisters knowing, but getting closer no less. Hannah who hides a secret from everyone including her sisters to protect them. With lots of hot intimate moments between Ash and Hannah behind closed doors and out in public. If you like stories like this, then Lust A Bad Boy and Amish girl is a must!!

I was given this ARC for an honest review.
Hannah the eldest of the sisters has lived outside the Amish community for years and away from her sisters. She finally gets to see them and show them what's out in her world. But she also has a secrets that when the times right she will share with the sisters. But for now she can get help to protect then. Ash the eldest of the brothers and who has a dark past. Things he will never be able to forget from the MC days when his dad was the leader. Now he works as a bouncer and keeping them clean. Which is how he meets Hannah and makes a deal to protect her sisters.
Ever since the first book I knew something dark happened to Hannah. I couldn't wait to read her story, and my got what she went through? It breaks my heart she dealt with that alone. But I'm also in awe of her for the person she is now. Selfless!! Anything to protect her sisters and keep them with her. Ash is the perfect other half to Hannah even if he fights it for a bit. He has his own dark past and pain but put it aside for his brothers. He changed his life to keep them on a good path. These two are so perfect for each other. I loved this story and when she finally tells Ash her past. God I was in tears and wanted to go and kick some butt for her. The question is will she ever tell her sisters? And how would they react? Guess we will have to read Beths story to find out :)

Lust by Sienna Valentine
Designation: Book 2 in a series
This book is part of The Brody Bunch series and basically takes place in parallel to PRIDE, book 1, but tells Hannah and Ash’s story. We know that Hannah has asked Ash and his two brothers to protect her sisters from something. We don’t find out what until midway through the book. All we know is that her sisters are on Rumspringa which is the time for Amish to explore before committing their adult life to the way of life for good and she is worried that something will happen to them. When Ash is getting closer to Hannah his apartment is ransacked. He then knows that Hannah holds a bigger secret than she is letting on.
For some reason this book didn’t grab my attention like the first book in this series. Something about it just didn’t click for me. I liked Ash and Hannah’s story but maybe it just seemed too familiar. I do still want to read book 3 because I think Beth and Wyatt’s story will be really intriguing and hopefully it will tie up all the loose ends with the mystery of what the threat is to the sisters.

This book is part of The Brody Bunch series and basically takes place in parallel to PRIDE, book 1, but tells Hannah and Ash’s story. We know that Hannah has asked Ash and his two brothers to protect her sisters from something. We don’t find out what until midway through the book. All we know is that her sisters are on Rumspringa which is the time for Amish to explore before committing their adult life to the way of life for good and she is worried that something will happen to them. When Ash is getting closer to Hannah his apartment is ransacked. He then knows that Hannah holds a bigger secret than she is letting on.
For some reason this book didn’t grab my attention like the first book in this series. Something about it just didn’t click for me. I liked Ash and Hannah’s story but maybe it just seemed too familiar. I do still want to read book 3 because I think Beth and Wyatt’s story will be really intriguing and hopefully it will tie up all the loose ends with the mystery of what the threat is to the sisters.

Lust continues the Brody Bunch series, begun in book one, Pride, which featured the romance of Sarah and Reid. This book covers the same time period as book one but from Hannah and Ash's points of view. Hannah's innocent Amish sisters are coming to town and their safety is her priority so she makes a deal with Ash to protect them.
Ash had to become a man at an early age to care for his younger brothers when their father went to prison, but now the relationship between the brothers is somewhat contentious, so he hatches a plan that will ensure they will be glued to the girls' sides, while he himself is glued to Hannah, who he can't get enough of, in or out of bed. Although their relationship is initially just about sex, inevitably they find they have real feelings for each other.
This is one of those books that you don't want to put down because the story pulls you in. Besides being a really good romance, this book also explains what was behind certain events that took place in Pride, and why Hannah feels her sisters need protection. The series has a mystery/suspense storyline connecting each book, so although you can read this book as a standalone, it would be more fully enjoyed by reading Pride, first. I can't wait for Beth and Wyatt's story, not only for their romance, but to read the conclusion of the mystery/suspense story. This is another excellent read by Sienna Valentine.

I received this book for free to give my True and Honest Review
Wow Sienna you definitely pulled me in with that long piece of string for this Brody Man, who could NOT want Ash, sexy strong and there for your protection, well that is if you don't mind how many girls he has and won't be wanting to settle down at all. Well that is ex Amish barmaid Hannah Miller until she trades a session of hard core sex in the loo's of the bar for him to protect her sisters while they're with her.
Which he jumps to and the only ejit way he could think of is to get his 2 brothers and to make it as an innocent bet & not as being protection over them, even though they'd been eyeing the girls up whilst Ash and Hannah were together. But oh Hell watch how quick these 6 siblings connect together no matter how it started and definitely learning as to why Hannah needed The Brody's protection.
I tell you this if you want HOT racy and raunchy Sienna has it all in a package and I recommend you reading this second one about the Brody/ Miller serial.as you CAN read it as a stand alone or add the serial and I'll tell you to read it all add you do just want to know what's gonna happen and how they all individually see how their stories came about

Book 2 Lust
This is the 2nd book in the Brody Bunch series,. I recommend you read the first book Pride due to this one falls in right behind that one with the story but it focus more on Ash and Hannah
Hannah was from an Amish Community and left it a few years ago, she has a past that she is trying to forget. Hannah’s sisters Beth and Sara come to visit. Hannah does not want her sister going back to the Amish Community she feels like she needs to protect her sister from harm that Beth and Sara don’t even realize.
Ash is the oldest of the Brody Brothers, he is approached by Hannah to help her protect her sister. Little did Hannah know Ash made a bet with his brothers to see who could get one of the sisters in bed first. He made this bet with them but he also needed there help in protecting the sisters.
Hannah and Ash are physically attracted to each other, but as they get to know each other the relationship turns to more than just sex for Ash and Hannah. They go through different emotions as the start to realize the feelings and then there is the bet. To not be a spoiler I will stop here. In my opinion this is a must read

Lust is the Second book from the Brody Boys/Miller girls trio. I have been waiting to read this book. Hanna and Ash had such chemistry in Pride and I knew their book would be juicy and steamy.
I figured Hanna had her reasons for running from her Amish life and leaving behind her sisters when she did. We get to see the soft vulnerable side of Hanna in Lust but we also see the fierce protective side she has for her sisters. It was heart breaking to learn her story.
Ash did not disappoint in Lust whether if he is throwing Hanna up against the wall to get down and dirty or holding her as she confides her nightmares he is Soild. Ash becomes her strength and the one person she could trust. In Lust we get to see the eldest Brody brother grow up, he finally takes responsibility for his actions.
This book was everything and more I thought it could be. Valentine did an amazing job with these characters once again.
4.5 Stars for Lust!! Can't wait for Wrath!!
Happy Reading!!

Sienna Valentine does it again in the latest book of the Brody Bunch. This story gives us Ash and Hannah's perspective during the whole Rumspringa for her sisters. As the oldest of their respective siblings they feel it's their job to protect the younger ones. Ash starts of as the playboy who always gets the girl he sets his sights on, until Hannah. Hannah was the oldest of her sisters and the first to leave the Amish way of life. With her past she isn't looking for a relationship, so Ash seems like a good bet. Until they actually spend time with each other and find that maybe the other is just what they were searching for. The feels in this book tugged at my heart! I love the dynamic of these siblings and what is thrown out as a bet turns into that missing piece for them all. I can't wait for Wyatt and Beth's perspective next. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.
This is the second book in this series. The first part of the book is repetitive if you read the first book, but I get why, since it covers the same time period but from a different perspective.
This is Ash and Hannah’s story, as well as continuing the story from the first book. Ash and Hannah are the oldest of three siblings.
The first book hinted at the reason Hannah left her Amish community. This book confirms it.
What starts out as a bet turns into 3 brothers falling for 3 sisters.
Tanya incident interesting. Took awhile to see why she was important to the story.
I look forward to Wyatt and Beth’s story. I hope the next book wraps up all three relationships.
While you can read this as a stand alone, it will make more sense if you read the series in order.

Hannah is a former Amish working in a bar not too far from her former community. With her sisters sneaking from their community to see her, she enlists Ash and his brothers to protect them from the dangers that made her never to return.
This is the first book I’ve read from this author. It was a pretty decent, definitely had some dark undertones. I guess my main problem, most likely because I didn’t read book 1 first, is the fact that Hannah is basically the opposite of what the Amish represent (for understandable reasons), so the tagline of Bad Boy and Amish Girl really doesn’t apply. Hannah is very damaged, and thus, very sexual. I loved reading Ash’s POV the best and watching him change his ways as he falls for her. I highly recommend.

This was a great second book to the series. I understood much more about the "bet" and what lead up to the brothers taking the sisters under their wings and protecting them. Hannah was a very strong character with a dark secret which she is doing all she can to protect her sisters from the same fate.
Ash is a strong playboy. You walk with his as he grows and finds truths about himself and what he really wants from life. A great character with the chance of growth and learning. These two together besides heating up the sheets, also were a very good compliment in personalities. The story runs along with Book 1 and soon to be Book 3. It is a great way to see all the different prospective s of events and how it is dealt with. A must read. I received a free copy for my honest review.

The Amish girl and the bad boy, round two! Hannah is not quite as cloistered as her sisters, not anymore. Even before she left the community, her innocence had been compromised. In return for protection for her sisters during their visit, Hannah offers herself to Ash Brody. Ash has neither the want, nor the willpower, to say no to Hannah's offer; he's wanted her since the first time he saw her. The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes that she's just as broken as he is. Maybe, just maybe, they can fix each other.
Awesome writing, in depth and covered in feels! I loved Ash and Hannah's story and I can't wait for the third book!

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review. You will enjoy Book 2 just as much as Book 1 was. You will love reading about Hannah and Ash. Hannah is trying to protect her sisters and has gotten Ash and his brothers to help with her task. But there are some secrets that Hannah is keeping about her past from them all. Will she be able to keep them safe? Will they find out her secrets? Will her secrets hurt or help her have a relationship with Ash? Does Ash want to settle down with one woman? Or is he too interested in playing the field? I can't wait to read more of this series to find out what happens to the sisters and brothers as well!!!

I was so looking forward to Ash and Hannah's story after the first book and their story did not disappoint.
I enjoyed the details that this book filled in from their perspective about how the bet came about and everything Hannah had done to protect her sisters.
I also loved the two of them together, how they went from sneaking around having sex in semi-public places to recognizing their growing feelings for each other.
I can't wait to read the third book in this series.

In the second story of the Brody Bunch and the Miller Girls Hannah is the focus of the sisters, Hannah left the Amish community and has been living in the English world. She seeks Ash and his brothers protection to watch over her sisters as they leave the community. In this book it is learned why Hannah is working so hard to remove her sisters from the community. I thought the darker side, which media has shed some light on, was handle very well just as her sister Sarah's loyalty to the Amish way of life was well told in the first Brody Bunch book. Great read.
June 2, 2016
A 5 star must read. I love this book and the entire series has been amazing. Ash is all bad boy and so are his two younger brothers. Hannah is ex-Amish and her sisters are trying to decide what they want to do. Return to the community or stay with Hannah? But trouble comes knocking and they need help to keep out of harms way. Hannah enlists Ash to help and he enlists his brothers Reid and Wyatt to help him. It is emotional, suspenseful and romantic. Add it to your to-be-read list. You won't be sorry!

3.5-4 stars
This is Ash and Hannah's story which follows Reid and Sarah's. This one is in real time which i liked as i could remember the first book well. It was nice to see what was going through the others' heads at the same time as the ones in the first story. Im glad Reid's book was first, i might not have liked him otherwise and the other brothers have a bit of a downer on him.
I really liked both Hannah and Ash, i can't wait for the next Brody brothers story. Bring on Wyatt!

I received a ARC for an honest review. I was SO excited when I got this book. Imagine a giddy little girl clapping her hands in excitement, and that was before I ever even read it. That feeling didn't go away. I love Ash and Hannah. I love the way they play off each other and complement each other without even really realizing it. I don't know what it is about these families that make me love them so much. I can't wait for the last one. but does it have to be? can't we find a cousin or something somewhere.
