This is not my usual kind of book at all, but there's definitely a lot of passion and drama. The characters were a bit difficult to relate to and it's a bit slow at the beginning. The writing is good and flows naturally so it's a pretty easy read. I'd recommend reading these books in order.

This is the second book in the series. I am very intrigued about the dynamics of Avas Thomas and Hunter relationship. It very interesting to see how it has developed into how it has became not hearing their back story makes ke understand them more.
My only problem now is i want more of the Rhodes Family to follow. Text you copy will automatically show here

Accepted is the 2nd book in the Rhodes Family series by Lisa Wood. The timeline does overlap that of book 1, but you could probably start with this book and still enjoy it. This book was WAY too graphic for me, but the story behind it was very good. I really enjoyed book 1 and it ended in a cliff hanger of sorts, so I had to continue. The theme itself is for mature audiences, but it is well written. The characters are great, they all have a back story, and their chemistry is wonderful. The book's main characters, Ava, Hunter and Thomas, are in a polygamy relationship, which I haven't read about before, so it was new to me. But basically it is a committed closed relationship threesome. I love seeing the characters mature and work out their problems and feelings. I hope there will be a 3rd book because now I'm invested in the characters.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Accepted after reading the first book in the Rhodes Family series. But I will say it is better if you read Shattered before you read Accepted, so you know and understand some of the other moments going on in the storylines.
After reading Shattered I just had to know the deal between Hunter, Ava, and Thomas. My heart broke for Hunter more times then I could even imagine, All the things Hunter had to go through just to get to where he was ready to ask for forgiveness from Ava and Thomas. Oh, and the sexiness was turned up a notch between this Throuple.
We did get a little glimpse at another Rhodes brother; I would love to know his story. Crossing my fingers for Lisa Wood to write another book in this series. Overall, a great book with addictive characters.

This book is only for those over 18.
Thomas, Hunter and Olivia have been friends for years, since their early school years in fact, but one night seven years ago, well, too much tequila and not enough talking led to something only one of them regretted and that night tore them apart.
In the present, Hunter wants to make amends, he wants nothing more than to have his two best friends back, they are all senior partners in Ava’s father’s law firm, but for seven years, they have only spoken in a professional capacity and even then, nowhere near as much as they used to. He misses them and what they shared all those long years ago and so he writes a letter to each and prays that they can forgive him for what he did and what he plans to do if they can’t.
In each letter he explains that the box attached is an explanation as to why what happened happened, what his life has been like since and how much he regrets the situation. He delivers the boxes to Thomas and Ava and waits to see what will happen next.
How will Thomas and Ava react to the packages and letters which Hunter has written and what will the two of them think? What will the future hold for them all?

I was anxious to read the story as we saw just a little bit of these characters in Gabe's book. Sadly, I really struggled with the connection between these three characters. It was hard to *feel* that they really felt anything for each other besides sexual attraction. I wish maybe we could’ve had some snippets of them growing up together so you could see that they had more than just a sexual connection with each other.
The story definitely got better once we were past the second half. There was some action going on and other stuff happening which was nice to read. Sorry people, but I just got tired of any time that two or three of these characters were in a space together it immediately went to sex every single time. More character building would make this a more palatable book in my opinion. The author did a good job with Hunters character and his issues.
This is a great family and I did enjoy Gabe’s book. I can easily feel the affection that the family has with each other. The remaining siblings could be great books in the future. I look forward to reading more about this Rhodes family.

This is the second book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. I highly suggest reading these in order to help enhance your enjoyment of this series. I enjoyed being pulled into this story right from the beginning. I had no issues connecting to the characters as they brought the story to life for me. They are strong, supportive characters that made the story easy to read. One experience changed the destiny of three friends, Hunter, Ava and Thomas. Years later Hunter shows back up to fix things. But is the fix really going to be that easy for them? How will their destiny be affected this time around? This is where the story really picks up and I had a hard time putting it down. This made a great afternoon read for me. I highly recommend this book.

Accepted is the second book in the Rhodes Family series by Lisa Wood. It is a MMF story, with plenty of drama, angst and spice.
It is a very quick and easy read- but as I mentioned at the end of Book One, there was a pretty big spoiler for this book detailed in Book One- so I was a little miffed by that even before I began this book. I did settle into the story- but not enough to fully connect with the characters like I was hoping to.
The relationship between the three was intense- and there were several emotional discoveries/details as well. But the characters really frustrated me at times- I really just wanted to shake them.
With a few more siblings left in the Rhodes family, I wonder who will be the subject of Book Three?
Thank you, Lisa Wood!

Accepted by Lisa Wood is the 2nd book in the Rhodes Family series by Lisa Wood. This is definitely a book for the 18+ age group due to the adult content. The author request this series should be read in order to get the best enjoyment from it.
One thing I have to say about this series is that if you read book 1 ‘Shattered’ it contains many spoilers for what happens in Accepted. In fact the outcome of Accepted is given away but this didn’t stop me from reading Accepted as I was so intrigued as to how that outcome came about and after reading the prologue to this book, I was even more intrigued as to how this ending happened.
In Accepted we get the story of Ava, sister of Gabriel from the first book. Ava is also a lawyer and senior partner in the family law firm and she knows what she wants but there are just somethings she’s not sure of how to get that. That being, her friendship back with Thomas and Hunter who were her best friends for a very long time. An event several years previously had broken up this very tight knit friendship and now Hunter has decided it’s time to get his best friends back. Is it too late so salvage what they had before? Can they all forgive each other and move forward?
I loved this story and was hooked from the very beginning. I couldn’t help but root for Hunter and his quest to put to rights all that had gone before and get this trio back to the way they used to be and move forward.
I look forward to reading more about the Rhodes family siblings.

Accepted: Rhodes Family Book 2 by Lisa Wood is a MMF story, a complicated ménage a trois. You should read book one Shattered before you read Accepted, to understand what is happening in this story. I will admit that I was frustrated and annoyed with the characters at times and wanted to give them a swift kick up the a…... There are lots of emotions where hearts are broken, and forgiveness is not so easy to give. Can they see past their hurt and anger and let love set them free?
