When it comes to formulas and logical solutions Josh and Alex Benedict can easily fix any problem that comes forth, but when it comes to finding a bride to carry on their family's legacy they have a plan interviewing possibilities like they are specimens. When Penelope Primrose is hired as an environmentalist consultant for their company, all of their strategic planning hits a few bumps. With an unexpected attraction, they find they are unable to keep their hands off Penelope and want to spend every waking moment with her.
This was a fun read, I did have a little bit of a problem with how naive they were when it came to women.

Love under Two Honchos is a sexy read as Alex and Josh show Penelope that having two lovers instead of one makes the heat in the bedroom twice as hot. Ms. Covington has used dilemmas from the real world to make up some of her conflicts within the novel. I did feel that there is not any real connection between the three characters in the beginning other than lust. It makes the first part of the book all about sex and nothing else. The romance part of the narrative did not develop until much later in the tale which finally gets down to the heart of the story. This is a sexy read with more heat than heart but one I did enjoy reading.

I couldn't finish this book. I just don't understand how people fall in love within hours of meeting. Don't get me wrong, I believe if love at first sight and all that, but come on, falling in love and getting naked in less than 4 hours...ugh

Reread.
I still feel the guys are idiots and the heroine was to easy in forgiving them. But the rest of the family is interesting.

Penelope, Joshua, Alex. Several bits of funny, a lot of erotic scenes with Grandma Kate's shenanigans thrown in.

July 6, 2015This review was originally posted on Blushing ReadsRemember I told you about how Colt and Ryder (book 4) got back at Susan's brothers well it is in this book and let me tell you it's funny. Although in all fairness they don't actually knowingly get back at them. They simply find humor in a mistake that happens. Josh and Alex Benedict have this plan to find the perfect wife. They are intelligent and are sure if they use that along with their logic things will be fine. What they hadn't counted on was their Grandma Kate and the fact that love has no logic to it at all. Grandma Kate hire Penelope to work for the brothers and the minute they meet sparks begin to fly.
Talk about a first impression! They are all so attracted to one another that they end up in bed together the very night they meet. That can only mean one thing of course! The men become super overprotective and poor Penelope is in a tail spin.
Then she accidentally discovers their idea of how to find the perfect wife and realize that perhaps what they have been sharing hasn't been on the up and up. What she does to Josh and Alex is so funny! She is so angry and I must tell you that I don't blame her one bit. She heads out and runs straight to Grandma Kate determined to quit her job and move on. However Grandma Kate is not a woman to be deterred from her mission and her mission is to see that the unattached family members become attached! Then Penelope, Josh, and Alex all find out that the first night they were together left some consequences thanks to the boys sister and her husband unusual method of birth control. This is a mission for the entire family and bringing these three together require drastic measures! I enjoyed learning about this particular marriage because in later books they aren't around much. They run part of the family business so they stay pretty busy.This review was originally posted on Blushing Reads
“Penelope, this is Joshua and Alexander Benedict, two of my grandsons, and the current head honchos of Benedict Oil and Minerals.”
Oh, dear. It wasn’t the older men who had risen their feet, but two younger ones whose faces she hadn’t seen when she entered as they’d been sitting, heads down, and writing. Her eyes fastened on two of the most handsome, well-built, yummy-looking men she had ever seen in her life. But that wasn’t what had her heart pounding and those butterflies doing somersaults.
It was the sudden realization that there, standing before her, were the very images of the wispy, ethereal lovers who had haunted her dreams for the past six years.
Talk about a first impression! They are all so attracted to one another that they end up in bed together the very night they meet. That can only mean one thing of course! The men become super overprotective and poor Penelope is in a tail spin.
“Let me.” Alex’s voice drew his attention. “I’ve been fantasizing,” his brother said as he reached up and began to draw the pins from Penelope’s hair.
Miles of black, luminous locks tumbled free, cascading down to hang just at the middle of her sweet, sweet ass.
“Jesus.” Alex’s one word, reverent, as he gently combed his fingers through her hair, echoed Josh’s sentiment, exactly.
“My God.” Like a man mesmerized, Josh tossed the condoms onto the table and went to her.
He cupped her face, turned her to him, and kissed her again at the same time his brother started liberating her from her clothes.

Wendy's Review
Penelope Primrose came from New York to Texas on an invitation of a job with the Benedict family. Their family is something that she never had and thought that she never would. After her grandmother's death all Penelope had was her grandmother's best friend Grandma Kate, the head of the family and everyone knew this and respected it.
Josh and Alex Benedict had everything they wanted but a wife, and they had devised a plan, the Legacy Project, to determine what a wife should be before they would commit to any woman.
Penelope had heard all Grandma Kate's story of the Benedict family and how they shared their wife with each other and Josh and Alex were no exception, they knew one woman would be both of theirs.
With Penelope in the picture the sexual tension hit from the moment they set eyes on each other. Penelope couldn't seem to say no to these two honchos and decided that she didn't care. All she wanted was the good time they offered. But when love came into the picture she didn't realize how her insecurities from the past could be affecting her future with these two gorgeous men.
The dynamics of the Benedict family is portrayed with strong women and even stronger men. The women's strong will was the actual domination in a family of men who loved dominating their women.
This book holds your attention with laughter and love. This story is a must read. I loved how Cara brought a whole family story in one book but held your attention to the main characters. Great job!

I really didn't like this book and it was such a disappointment after Ryder, Colt and Susan's story. Joshua and Alex, even in previous books did absolutely nothing for me. Their behaviour frequently makes them out to be unruly teenagers, and though no age is given for them, as CEO's of Benedict Oil and Mineral they are clearly supposed to be at least in their late twenties. All other indications however would make you think otherwise. They are SO immature and oblivious about the opposite sex and about Penelope in particular it's unattractive and nauseating. That immaturity is just brought into even greater relief because they are portrayed, as are all Benedicts, as being gods in bed. I do not believe it is possible to get the experience required to know how to treat a woman well sexually and not pick up a thing or two emotionally about women along the way. UGH. Save me and bring on Adam and Morgan's story or some more of Susan's manly men - something, ANYTHING, would be better than this!

Alright, I am hooked! Each book in this series improves and pulls me more into Lusty Texas!
This book had an interesting story and the characters were really great. I am a closet geek myself so I love hot nerds! The whole dynamic really worked.
Josh and Alex were very analytical and I was a bit annoyed for not stopping the Legacy Project when they met Penelope. That was one negative for me, but I did forgive them because nothing happened that I would consider cheating.
The characters do jump in the sack awful quick and are not overly concerned with getting to know each other first. But hey, this is erotica so the steamy is a major factor! The steam is certainly well worth a few cold showers!
I really am digging the characters and can not wait for the next book. Lusty is another fictional place I wish were real so I could visit!!

*** I love Cara Covington's Lusty,Texas tales in this series. ***
The history of the town is fascinating and the men and women take life and live to the fullest. Josh and Alex are so macho, wow ! Penelope is a sexy girl, but makes them work for it. The story is suspenseful, the series is interesting and addicting. The characters are deeply thoughtful, sexy and romantic. Their past issues come to cause trouble. The trio work at figuring out the best way to make this relationship work.
Issues are dealt with, Kate weaves her magic, while love flies high and we want more !
ENJOY !! suspenseful,

It was a very good reading. I have the book for a few months and I decided to read it yesterday and I finished it the same day. It made me laugh and I'm so in love with the feisty heroine ! What a shame that most of the heroines aren't like her ! She is independent and not at all chicken-hearted. I was pleased to discover that she wasn't panicked or turned into an innocent virgin when talked about sex, one-night stand or even two guys in her bed. It seems more real to me that some other romances.

Penelope Primrose is happy to be able to do the work she loves and help a second grandmother all at the same time the only thing she wasn't prepared for was her instant attraction to the head honchos....Josh and Alex have been trying to plan for their legacy, but if it's one thing they should know coming from the town of Lusty, don't try to map out love...another awesome story from this small Texas town....onto the next

It was a good thing that Grandma Kate was so entertaining because the threesome were boring! Josh and Alex were so stiff, so awkward, and don't get me started on their Legacy Project. Penelope was slightly better, I especially loved her snack of spaghetti and grape soda!

Had tons of fun reading about Alex/Penelope/Joshua for two extremely smart men with high IQ's it does not take long for them to figure out they are idiots when it comes too women.

good read, grandma Kate is my favourite character in the book.

Bonne structure. Les liens avec les tomes précédents sont là mais facile à suivre si nous lisons dans le désordre.

More like 3.5 stars. A good story, but not enough for me to gush about.
