It's not my fault I saddled my poor sweet wife with a psychotic toddler who just happened to start out at eleven pounds heavy.
It's the Kincaid genes. She knew what she was getting herself into when she gave me the yes.

A must read—Bryan insists
I didn’t read Begin Again before I read the Rollin On series the first time...but Bryan’s story just makes the series that much better. I can’t even put into it’s how amazing this novella is. I love Bobby and I knew I’d love Bryan—but be prepared to be crushed after you fall in love with him. Without Bryan and Nelly there is no Rollin On series...so I’m glad we get to see “where it all began”. Now to go mop up some tears and reread one of my all-time favorite series. Emilia—I’m glad that Bryan wouldn’t shut up. Even though it hurts, he’s amazing. I wish we could have him back as much as you do but he made his boys amazing men for all of us. Thank you for bringing them to life for us.

If I read a series based about a family and their lives, I normally never read prequels about their parents or grandparents. I want to keep the older generation as the monarch. That's just how I am! When I first was introduced to The Rollers I was in love with this family. They were actually a lot like my family, which drew me in to read more. Getting to see their mom, it made me wonder where the guys got their personalities from because that was not all Nelly...it also pulled at my curiosity when we saw a glimpse of the dad in one of the books. I wanted to get to know Bryan even though we know the outcome. I'm glad Emilia Finn wrote this short story and let us get a glimpse of Bry and Nelly's lives.
Thank you!!
I have read the Rollin On series and have been going through withdrawals. Bryan and Nelly's story touched my heart and cracked it a little. You showed us the man who taught our Rollin crew how to be men and I thank you. It is strange how I watch my own sons and wonder wish that they had an influence like Bryan or Bobby...I hope I am a mom like Nelly. Emilia please continue to write books that keep us in touch with our Rollin family because we miss tbem all.
Sweet and So sweet
After reading the Rolling On series and knowing how this was going to end this book, while short broke me, I put off reading it because I knew how it was going to end, but I read it this morning and I was correct, it broke me harder and faster than any other of the Kincaid stories. Amazing read, a little creepy (kinda like think of your parents making you), but an amazing love story, this book hurt me in ways I couldn't imagine and I'm still crying as I write this review! Nelly and Bobby have a love so amazing and strong that could only show their kids what was truly important!
Wanting more
I love love love these books! So it's hard to write this review. It wasn't enough. Bryan needs his own book telling how he grew up, why was he living in his car, what happened in his life that he grew up to have the fierce loyalty and moral compass he has? Then another book on him and nelly. How they met. What made him decide she was the one? What happened after high school. How they lived and face the trials of life as she went to college. Life as a growing family. And ultimately Bryans death. And then them a book about nelly and the boys after Bryan died. How Nelly delt with his death and how she was able to raise all those boys and keep them in line. They all turned out to be great guys but after Bryans death they easily could have gone on an entirely different direction. This was just too short of a story for the patriarchs of the Kincaid family.
Short and sweet
I am so glad I got a sneak peek into Bryan and Nellys world. I feel like I could read them forever! If you somehow stumble across this book before you read the others, go back to the beginning. I feel like I am part of the Rollers. I never want their story to end! That are a tight knit family I feel like I am now honored to be a part of.
Forget Romeo and Juliette
Some writers put pen to paper and let their feelings flow. Emilia puts pen to paper and lets the feeling of her characters flow. Her characters have taken life outside of the pages of her books and you feel like you are a part of their family. I am emotionally invested every time I open one of her books. And when Nelly tells her story, you feel the magic between her and Bryan. The magic is still there years after Bryan is gone. Like I said, forget Romeo and Juliette, love like Nelly and Bry.

So, for reals. Bryan Kincaid. HE WAS AMAZING!! We knew he would be right? He’s the father of our favorite men - Bobby, Jimmy and Aiden. How can he not be amazing? He’s gruff, crude, bad, while at the same time he is sweet and romantic. He’s one of the sexiest characters I’ve ever read. Bryan wants his girl. He’s going to get her. The capitulation was amazing. This short story pulls you in, makes you fall in love, and leaves you breathless for more. Once you start this book, you’ll be hooked on Emilia Finn.
You will never be able to let go of this one
This took us back to the beginning, where the story started. Every single character in the series becomes a part of who you are and it all started with Bryan and Nelly. If you pass this book or the series up then you’re missing out on one of the most amazing reads I’ve ever had the chance to read. The characters in this book become family
Bry will always be number one
These stories, these characters, they feel so tangible I feel like I could reach out and touch them. Bryan Kincaid will forever be the man that started it all. He loved his family and he loved Nelly. Know that when you read each book in each series, that Bryan started it all. He made the name Kincaid worth something. Be ready to cry, be ready to fall madly in love with a man who’s already madly in love with his “Bert”, and be ready to wish for miracles so he could somehow be resurrected. Read the books. Love the books. Obsess over the books. You really want to, I promise.
