Ratings and reviews

This was yet another great story by Vanessa Vale. It’s a menage about Matt, Ethan and the woman of their dreams Rachel. Rachel’s starting a new job when she meets Matt. He doesn’t know she’s his new assistant and makes an ass of himself, turning Rachel off of him. He and Ethan have to woo her to get her to see things from their point of view. She wants a baby, they want a baby. It’s a win-win situation- in their eyes. Rachel needs some convincing due to a bad incident in college. But these guys are determined to get their own way, in this sweet, sexy tale of love in triplicate.

Another beautiful story by a wonderful writer. I've taken to rating her stories 4 stars even though I love them, because every time I just wish they were longer and more indepth. The author does a fantastic job of bringing characters together with a little twist and a little drama without too much, but I just wish we got to hear more about the characters, their lives, just generally spent more time with them. Highly recommended series, and this book is no exception, if you enjoy protective honourable cowboys, strong women, and menage romance.

This is the fourth book in the Bridgewater County series, and ties in with the Bridgewater Menage series (a historical series set in the same world). Rachel is a strong woman, determined to meet her life goals on her own terms. Matt is a former pro baseball player, turned guest ranch owner who seems to have the best of intentions, but they always come out the wrong way. Ethan is Matt's business partner, and is a laid back kind of guy on the surface. But both men have their fair share of dominance. And they use that dominance to get Rachel to come around to their way of thinking about things. This story is a menagerie of hurt feelings and misunderstandings. It is fast paced and has all of the yummy elements of Insta love that we have come to expect from a Bridgewater Romance. It is definitely worth a read (and hot enough to warrant a reread! It just might set your Kindle on fire!)
