How Sons of Broad Began
Tara Thomas, also known as Tara Sue Me for her erotic romance novels, launched the Sons of Broad series in 2018, blending her knack for spicy relationships with a suspenseful edge. Inspired by Charleston’s rich history and old-money charm, Thomas crafted a world where the Benedict brothers—Keaton, Knox, and Kipling—rule with charisma and grit. The series kicked off with three prequel novellas, setting the stage for a gripping trilogy that explores love under pressure. Thomas’s shift to romantic suspense was a bold move, showcasing her versatility as a storyteller.
The Heart of Sons of Broad
The series comprises three prequel novellas—Shattered Fear, Hidden Fate, and Twisted End—followed by three full-length novels: Darkest Night, Deadly Secret, and Broken Promise. Darkest Night introduces Keaton, the youngest Benedict, who reunites with childhood love Tilly Brock amidst a string of murders targeting her. Deadly Secret follows Knox and his secret wife, Bea, as they uncover dangerous truths tied to the Benedict empire. Broken Promise wraps up with Kipling and police officer Alyssa Adams, whose quest to solve her sister’s disappearance collides with a kidnapping in the Benedict family.
At its core, Sons of Broad weaves themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption against Charleston’s atmospheric backdrop. The series balances steamy romance with high-stakes suspense, with The Gentleman’s vendetta against the Benedicts driving the tension. Thomas’s characters are complex—strong yet flawed, independent yet yearning for connection. The sultry Charleston setting, with its historic charm and hidden dangers, acts almost as a character itself, amplifying the series’ moody allure.
Each book delivers twists and turns, from blackmail and human trafficking to family secrets and forbidden love. Fans praise the fast-paced plots and the chemistry between couples, though some note the romance occasionally overshadows the suspense. Still, Thomas’s ability to keep readers on edge makes each installment a page-turner.
