About the Gamble Brothers series
Gamble Brothers is a New Adult romance trilogy Jennifer L. Armentrout wrote as J. Lynn, following the Gamble brothers -- a tight family of Kentucky men -- as each finds a woman who upends his carefully guarded life. Tempting the Best Man opens the series with a bridesmaid and a best man thrown together at a wedding, sparking a will-they-won't-they that plays out under the scrutiny of family and friends.
Each book centers a different Gamble brother, with the earlier couples reappearing in supporting roles as the family circle expands -- a structure consistent with Armentrout's other New Adult work as J. Lynn. Expect the same warm, banter-driven tone as Wait for You: contemporary, grounded, and light on angst compared to her paranormal series.
Complete at three books, Gamble Brothers is a quick, connected read for fans of Armentrout's New Adult romances.
