Publisher: Push
Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Cameron Wolfe's life gets very complicated when he falls for his brother's girlfriend in this winning, wise novel from the dynamic author of FIGHTING RUBEN WOLFE.

Cameron Wolfe is the quiet one in his family, not a soccer star like his brother Steve or a charming fighter with a new girl every week like his brother Rube. Cam would give anything to be near one of those girls, to love her and treat her right. He especially likes Rube's latest, Octavia, with her brilliant ideas and bright green eyes. But what woman like that would want a loser like him?
Maybe Octavia would, Cam discovers. Maybe he'd even have something to say. And those maybes change everything: winning, loving, losing, the Wolfe brothers, and Cameron himself.

My Review:
I give this book a 4 out of 5. 

I finished this trilogy quickly. Not only were all three books were super fast reads, they really captured my interest. I wanted to find out what happened with Cameron, as well as his family. 

This is truly a tale of family, brothers, and rising above your situation. It's more than just a story, you truly feel for Cameron as he fights with his brother, but then turns around and rescues him. You hurt with him as his other brother tells him something very hurtful. 

I definitely recommend this whole trilogy. It's well-written, a quick read, and a really great coming of age story. Because that's exactly what Cameron does - grow up.

You can purchase the entire Wolfe Brothers trilogy through Amazon in either hard copy or Kindle format.
