Brenda Jackson romance brought to life by Passionflix
5 October 2022
This is based on the first novel of Brenda Jackson's Granger Series about the Granger family, consisting of three brothers and their falsely accused and incarcerated father. The first book and this film focus on the eldest son Jace's story.

When their grandfather has a heart attack, all three brothers return home to be with him before he passes. They make a deathbed promise to him to save the family business, Granger Aeronautics. Once they arrive it is clear that nefarious things are going on at the company and they need to hire expert help. This is where Shana comes in. Shans and her team get to the bottom of the traitorous goings on and help the brothers right the ship of their company...all while having a fierce attraction to Jace, which goes against her non-fraternization policy at work. Unable to control themselves Jace and Shana eventually agree to a secret affair outside of work. But they have both been burned before and when a woman arrives from Jace's past and Shana gets some unexpected news...will they be able to build a romance?

Sexy and pretty true to the source material (I applaud Passionflix for that!). The film, like the book, does a lot of teasing for future stories. The other two brothers and their father's stories are heavily foreshadowed in Jace and Shana's story. So much so it gives the film version an unfinished feeling. Like what happened to the rest?

I am just thrilled that Passionflix is picking up and bringing to life these highly popular romance stories. This one was not my favorite...but I love the idea and I really have loved a bunch of their other films...Driven, Dirty Sexy Saint, The Will, Gabriel's Inferno, Afterburn/Aftershock, The trouble with Mistletoe, Matchmaker's Playlist and Resisting Roots! So, I want to be encouraging and supportive while at the same time saying this wasn't my favorite but I think it was more source material not direction or acting (which the acting was good and I really liked the two main characters).
