Book Brothers

I've been thinking about sets of brothers lately. 

 In September and October this year, the last two Hawke brothers will have their stories out in the world, so it's particularly topical for me. The first Hawke brother had his story last year. 

 For those interested, the series goes:

 Liam Hawke (middle brother): 
The Nanny Proposition - out now

 Dylan Hawke (youngest brother): 
Bidding on Her Boss - September

 Adam Hawke (oldest brother): 
His 24-Hour Wife - October
I think my favourite set of famous brothers at the moment is the Hemsworth brothers, Chris and Liam. Though, this may be influenced by my love of Thor and The Hunger Games!

 But there's also:

  • Ralph and Joseph Fienes, 
  • the many Baldwin brothers, 
  • Owen and Luke Wilson, 
  • Benji and Joel Madden,
  • Beau and Jeff Bridges,
  • Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen,
  • Prince William and Prince Harry,
  • Ben and Casey Affleck.


What about you - do you have a favourite duo or trio of brothers?

    Team Hemsworth without a doubt!!! Although I do have a soft spot for the Burgess brothers who play for the Rabbitohs (all 4 of them) -http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/burgess-twins-virtual-strangers-in-homeland-england/story-fni3fbgz-1226743395689

      Louisa, I hadn't heard of the Burgess brothers before but I just read that article. They seem genuinely nice guys as well as being gorgeous!

      They are lovely- there was a documentary made about them and a sad story about their dad dying, and then how they all got signed for the Rabbitohs and have made their lives in Aussie (they come from a place close to my home town in UK).

      Helen, I loved the Bridges brothers. Remember The Fabulous Baker Boys with Michelle Pfieffer (sp?). Loved, loved that movie!

    Hey Rach. I may be showing my age but the Gibb brothers were cute back in the day :-) Also, I wouldn't kick either of the Wahlberg's out of bed....

      I forgot the Wahberg brothers! Good pick up. And yes, the Gibb brothers were so adorable.

    Just about to finish the Nanny Proposition and am loving it, Rachel. Can't wait for Dylan's and Adam's stories.

    Hmm, brothers. Have to say those Hemsworth brothers rank fairly highly!

      So glad you're enjoying the first Hawke brother's story, Jenn!

      The Hemsworths do have some serious genetic blessings, don't they?

    Can't wait for the remaining Hawke brothers' books. As for celeb brothers - it's hard to choose. You missed a Hemsworth - Liam and Chris have an older brother Luke who is also an actor.
    As for other brothers - what about Donnie and Mark Wahlberg.

      Lyn, you're on the same train of thought as Amy with the Wahlbergs. Such a good suggestion!

      I do know about Luke Hemsworth but I haven't seen him in anything so didn't include him. Maybe I should hunt down an example of his work - have you seen him in something good?

      Can't say I've seen Luke Hemsworth in anything myself - I just recalled that I'd read that there was a third acting brother.
      Scratch that.. just did a search of wikipedia to see what he's been in. I may have seen him in the Bikie Wars miniseries but wouldn't have remembered. He seems to have mainly been in Aussie based stuff.

      By the way - I enjoy watching Donnie Wahlberg in Blue Bloods. Lots of good experience actors in that show.

    Hmmm definitely the Hemsworth brothers!! I love the Wilson brothers too (Luke and Owen) they're hilarious and gorgeous in that goofy, down to earth kind of way.

      Stefanie, the Wilson brothers are probably my real favourites of the list. Owen in just about everything, and Luke in Legally Blonde. I think there's a third one of them too. Maybe good things come in threes!

      Luke in Legally Blonde is perfection <3

    Oh, my, those Hemsworths are good-looking boys. :-) Another set of brothers I really like the look of are the Hanson brothers (Isaac, Zac and Taylor).

    And, Rach, I really love your brothers -- can't wait to dive into Dylan and Adam's stories! :-)

      Oh, the Hanson brothers! I haven't seen them in ages - must look them up. I bed they've aged well.

      Aw, thanks for the love for the brothers books. :)

    Rachel, all the brothers I can think of a thoroughly covered here! I have to say that it was hard to go past the Baldwin brothers in their heyday. That lovely black hair and blue eyes!

    Not a patch on your gorgeous Hawke brothers mind you!
