Conned ( The Brannock Siblings) By Jessica Wilde



Conall Brannock takes his job seriously. He doesn't get attached, he doesn't ask questions, and he protects his family at all costs. Nothing will change that. Not even the sweet, green eyed witness that just burst into his life and shifted his world. He has one job to do; protect Emily until she can testify. He can't let his interest in her get in the way, but the more he finds out about her, the more he can't help but wonder how the beautiful broken girl got into this mess in the first place. And the longer he takes to learn the truth, the deeper he falls for her. 

Emily Dawson has a job to do. Stay off the grid, testify, and hopefully get her brother back. He's all she has left of the family she struggled so hard to hold together and she would do anything to keep him safe. Even if it means she has put herself in harm's way or that she has conned everyone into believing she saw something she didn't. She knows where her loyalties lie, but her stoic yet gentle protector and his crazy family makes her question everything she once knew. 

Loyalty can be one sided. 
Family isn't always blood. 
And honesty can destroy everything she has come to love. 

Conned is the second in the Brannock series and boy was this good. Conall left an impression in the first novel, but boy! will he be staying on my top boyfriend list this year. Seriously fell in love with him. 
Then we have the lovely, sweet, quiet women Emily Dawson. Under witness protection she has to go under Conall's protection. 
Emily loves her brother. She was his parental guardian when their parents died and has tried to give him the life he deserved. Even still, he ended up mixing with the bad crowd and falling into dangerous territory. Thinking she was helping him, loving him and keeping him safe, she testifies about seeing a murder. 
It's only when she sees how Conall and his brother Gus with their sister Ash that she finally realizes that her brother is too far gone to be saved. Only now, she's worried if she can save herself. 
Falling in love with Conall wasn't in her plans, but then neither was Conall's falling in love with her. Soooooo good. 

I had the same problem as I did in the first with the writing. One POV is perfect and easy to read, whilst the other was speaking in third person. Like the person was talking about herself in third person. It got confusing as hell again and I dreaded every POV that was Emily's. In the end I had to change the she's to either I or I'm or something, for it to flow.
