Ours to Love by Shayla Black (Book Review)
Between two brothers…
Xander Santiago spent years living it up as a billionaire playboy. Never given a chance to lead his family business in the boardroom, he became a master in the bedroom instead. His older brother, Javier, inherited the company and worked tirelessly to make it an empire. But while cutthroat corporate espionage took its toll on Javier, nothing was as devastating as the seemingly senseless murder of his wife. It propelled him into a year of punishing rage and guilt…until Xander came to his rescue.
Comes an irresistible woman…
Eager to rejuvenate Javier’s life, Xander shanghais him to Louisiana, where they meet beautiful London McLane. After a decade of tragedy and struggle, London is determined to make a fresh start—and these sexy billionaire brothers are more than willing to help. In every way. London is stunned to find herself open to every heated suggestion…and desperately hoping that her love will heal them.
And inescapable danger.
But a killer is watching, on a single-minded mission to destroy everything the Santiago brothers hold dear, especially London. As fear and desire collide, every passionate beat of her heart could be her last.
When I purchased this story, I knew this was going to be about two brothers falling in love with the same woman and having sex with her. However, since I am a fan of Shayla’s and I wanted to read the continuation of the series, I cracked opened the book anyways.
With that said, I can’t understand how a brother can get aroused watching his sibling have sex with someone. For me to enjoy the scenes, I actually pretended they were only friends and not brothers.
What I did like about this story was the tenderness, the patience, and understanding they shown London when she unveiled her back to them. Their reaction was absolutely perfect!
One final note: If you were waiting for the conclusion of “Who killed Javier’s wife and why”, the wait is finally over. 🙂

Interview with Allan Yoskowitz
Welcome, Allan Yoskowitz!
1. For those who might not be familiar with you, would you be a dear and tell the readers a little about yourself? How did you get your start in the writing business?
(AY) I’m thirty-five years old, and I run my father’s accounting firm. I’m something like a cross between an office manager, a clerk, a secretary, and I don’t know what else. I just do whatever needs to get done in that office, and I make sure that everything stays operating to the best of my ability.
I also train in Tae Kwon Do under Grand Master Heung Taek (Ben) Hur. I’ve been training with him for over twenty years, and am a Third Dan black belt, currently preparing to test for my Fourth degree.
As for writing, it began in school. I’ve been writing since I was in elementary school, but I started writing science-fiction at some point in sixth or seventh grade. What eventually became Codename: Winterborn and its universe got its first beginnings in doodles and short stories I wrote sitting in high school literary magazine meetings.
2. Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, please share how you handle it.
(AY) Well, I know that the best way to get out of “block” is just to keep chipping away at it, but that doesn’t seem to work all that well for me. I guess I have to look around at other types of writing and get interested in them – for example, once, when I was bored with the story I was writing, I started working on a screenplay just as a writing exercise. It helped me out a bit.
3. Contrary to what some people envision about a romance writer’s life, it’s not all glitz and glam. Well not for the majority of us. With that bubble sadly busted, when you’re not writing, how do you spend your time?
(AY) Outside of work? It depends on the time of week. Sometimes, it’ll be training at my Tae Kwon Do dojang, and other times it might just be playing some video games, watching a movie, reading something, or sometimes just writing. It’s important to stay relaxed and healthy.
4. I know many writers keep their pastime/career a secret. Do those close to you know you write? If so, what are their thoughts?
(AY) Well, for me, I have the full support of my family – especially my wife. She’s proven to be part editor, part creative consultant and main sustenance provider. So, for the most part, I’m encouraged to write when the notion takes me, and my family helps me by giving me the space to do it.
5. Will you share with us your all-time favorite authors? If you’re like me, it’s a long list so give us your top ten.
(AY) My top ten all-time favorites? That’s not an easy one… but if it has to be ten?
** David Eddings **
(The Belgariad/Malloreon as well as the Elenium/Tamuli)

6. If you could choose one book to go to the big screen, yours or otherwise, which book would you choose and whom would you love to see cast in the parts?
(AY) Wow… our group of friends has actually had whole conversations based just on that question. Sure, I would love to have Codename: Winterborn on the silver screen!
At the same time, though, I can probably rattle off a whole list of other works that deserve to be given that treatment. As for casting… I think I would like for some of the major roles to go in to actors just breaking in to the field – or to actors now known for television roles.
For example, I think Stephen Amell (currently on Arrow) would make for a good Kevin Anderson. At one point, we thought Mia Kirshner would have been great for the character of Mandy, but that was a while ago.
7. Would you care to tell us what you’re working on now? That is if it’s not top-secret information. If so, just whisper it in my ear. I swear it’ll go no further.
(AY) Declan and I are working on the sequel to Codename: Winterborn. So far, the working title is Codename: Unsub.
8. Where can we find your stories, and is there a particular reading order?
(AY) Codename: Winterborn is my first published work, found on Amazon.com, but other than that you would have to hunt down my high school and college papers and such – and I don’t think that would work too well.
9. Would you please share how your present and future fans can contact you?
(AY) Well, Declan and I have a Facebook page up for Winterborn, and I have a page of my own. Of course, there’s always e-mail, but I prefer not to give that out on the internet.
10. Before we conclude this enlightening interview, do you have anything else you’d like to share? The stage is all yours.
(AY) Oh, great… now I have stage fright! I guess I would like to add that working through the process of writing this novel has been somewhat a labor of love. I’ve been at it for what seems like an incredibly long time, and to finally have it published – to have the book in my hand is a heady, intoxicating feeling. Was it a pain at times? Yes. Were there moments where I would have liked to just scrap the whole thing? Sure. Did I doubt we would get there? To the point where the book is in my hand? Yes. But was it worth the pain, the doubt and the headaches? Oh yeah. If you’re a writer, go for it! Don’t let anyone stop you until you are satisfied with your work.
