Ratings and reviews

Some menage stories feel like they're a loose plot primarily designed to carry hot set scenes. Nothing wrong with that, but there are times a person really wants a good story along with the heat. Vanessa Vale really delivers in that regard. It's a fantastic series and I've enjoyed everything of hers I've read to date. This book could benefit from a trigger warning for abuse I thought. The heroine is on the run from a terrifying ex. Fortunately we don't see too much of him, and in true Bridgewater style, when he turns up he regrets it spectacularly. I would rate these stories 5 stars, but my only complaint is I wish they were longer, so we could spend more time (literally and figuratively) with the characters. Their stories do feel a little "Speed" sometimes, but we do get to revisit them in future books, so I suppose there's that. I just find the dynamic of a triad fascinating, and this is probably one of the first contemporary series I've read that seemed to really honor it. I'd love to see more about what day to day life looked like. The types of thoughts the characters had as they developed their relationships etc. None the less, highly recommend this series if you enjoy a little heat, and little suspense, and a lot of very devoted alpha types:)

This is the second book in the series. Hannah is on the run from her abusive ex. She runs from a nightmare, but she may end right where she's meant to be. Cole and Declan take a shine to Hannah. They're going to show her how a man is supposed to cherish their woman. Can they convince Hannah. There is also the threat from her ex. This book is very steamy. It's a MFM relationship. The way of relationships in Bridgewater may not be society's norm, but it works for this town. It's a shock to an outsider like Hannah, but Cole and Declan are up to the task to show her the benefits of that type of relationship.

When Hannah made up her mind to leave her abusive ex, he vowed that she would always be his. Taking nothing for granted she leaves town and lands in Bridgewater where Jessie gives her a job and a place to stay over her diner. Cole and Declan are captivated with her right from the beginning but because of their boisterous claiming of wanting her for more than a date has Hannah shutting down. When they finally get her to open up a series of events will happen that will once again change Hannah's life. Will her two cowboys be able to keep her safe from what is coming for her?
