The six Martyr brothers share a jaw, a pack and a long dinner table. They do not share a personality. Each book in The Lure of Shoreline Cove is built on a different set of romance tropes, and each one is a complete story. So here is the series sorted by what you like to read.
If you love a sunshine hero with a hidden hurt: Ian
Book 1, Hooked on a Wolf. Ian Martyr runs The Fishery and makes the whole room laugh so nobody looks at him too closely. Then he hires a kitchen witch whose food makes people blurt the truth. This is the workplace romance, with a new girl in town, a rented room over the restaurant, and a hero who can fix most things with butter.
Read it for: banter, food, a man who goes quiet only for her.
If you love grumpy and sunshine: Henley
Book 2, Leave the Light On. Henley keeps the lighthouse and speaks about forty words a day. His brothers count them. Dionne is loud, bright, dressed in yellow, and breaks everything electrical within reach. A storm shuts them in a three-room cottage with one bed.
Read it for: stormbound forced proximity, a silent giant who talks only to her.
If you love a single mom and a protector: Leon
Book 3, Leader of the Pack. Leon has run the family since he was fourteen, on lists and sheer will. Julianna is a lone she-wolf who trusts nobody and keeps the car packed. Her six-year-old decides Leon is theirs before either adult gets a vote. It is the Christmas book, with snow.
Read it for: the caretaker finally being cared for, a kid matchmaker, a heroine who saves herself.
If you love he fell first: Ryker
Book 4, Wish Upon a Wolf. Ryker is the brother the town calls trouble. He has also walked into the same bookshop every week for six years, bought one book, and said almost nothing to the woman behind the counter. Winnie has loved him since she was fifteen and assumes he has a girlfriend out of town.
Read it for: secret pining on both sides, a bookshop, a bad boy who is not bad at all.
Still to come: Matias and Brian
Two brothers are left. Matias, the youngest, is the one who can't be caught, and Book 5 is his. Brian, the eldest, is the wildcard who walked away, and he closes the series in Book 6. Their tropes stay locked until release day.
What every book has
Whichever brother you choose, some things come standard. His wolf picks her before he admits anything. She meets that wolf properly, on the page. There is a full-moon pack run with every porch light in town left on, a Sunday dinner where somebody breaks a chair, a ridiculous courting gift, and a promise made under Promise Falls. And every heroine has magic she has been told is too much, which turns out to be just right.
