Born to Be Brothers is book three of the Southern Legacy series by Jerri Hines. The Civil war is quite close to breaking out as the clash between almost brothers intensifies.
Wade Montgomery and Cullen Smythe had been raised by their grandfather as brothers. Both were loyal to their country, honorable, and definitely Southern gentlemen. However, their countries differed. Wade believed in the South and that slavery was a necessity. He loved Magnolia Bluff and now was master there but without a wife as Clarissa had died. Cullen had gone North to his Father and kept his commission in the Navy. He believed in the sanctity of the United States. He loves Josephine and after his cousin Andrew’s marriage to another, wanted more than anything to marry Jo. She, however, wants her Father’s approval. When she receives a message from her Father telling her to come home as he is ill, she insists on returning to Charleston unmarried.
Her Father has put a series of events in order that require her to marry a Montgomery or they would lose Magnolia Bluff. However, since Andrew married someone else, the property became hers. Now Wade wants to marry her for Magnolia Bluff and her cousin Harry Lee wants to marry her for the same reason and because he would lose his own home due to machinations by her Father Brantley Wright. He refuses permission for her to marry Cullen.
Lies upon lies prevail around Jo. She is caught between her Father’s wishes and those of others. When Gillie is kidnapped to make her come to reason, Cullen goes after her and in doing so, crosses the line with the law as he arms Blacks to serve as his army. Wade lags behind to marry Jo and make it official and lawful to go after Gillie. Cullen must leave the South immediately and Jo has to decide once again if duty and honor prevail over love.
Meanwhile, the cousins stay in the South while Cullen is on the North’s side. The Civil War breaks out -
Brother Against Brother
This book in the series concentrated on the gaps in the relationships between Wade, Arthur and Cullin. Jo is trying to stay stable and love Wade but Arthur has gone on a binge because the death of his daughter and spewed a lot of info to her that makes her doubt her love and decisions for her and her son Percival's future. The Civil War is constant and unforgiving for both the Union and the Confederacy. The losses are great. -
Same issues, but I'm pretty sure it's the writing and not the story or I would not have just purchased the 4th book. Great plot. this story might make a good movie, although a little predictable. I'm giving three stars now so my overall can average 3.5, which is what this series deserves. I'm ready to move on to some better writing, but I have to find out what happens to Josephine..."when the war is over!"

Another great read from Jerri Hines.
