Don’t Fight It! You need to one-click this fantastic MMF read! Shane and Tucker have loved and lost their wife and mother to their daughter. Thankfully they had each other to try to get through their grief and longing, but there’s something missing. Someone between them. Someone that’s theirs to love and hold.
And that could be their new nanny and housekeeper, Paige. Paige whose life fell down around like a house of cards when her ex-husband was convicted of stealing millions from his investors. Paige just wants to get away from the limelight. Get away from being the news headline of the night. Get away to find her new normal. And her new normal now involves two sexy AF ranchers and their adorable daughter.
Seriously. I’m still trying to recover from this lovely “second chance at falling in love” romance. And my Kindle is still smoking from the sexy times. I loved the dynamic between Shane and Tucker. And Ioved how Paige rounded out their lives. I loved how Paige didn’t really let anything get to her once she could draw on the strength of the love of her two cowboys—especially when she needed that inner fortitude to save herself from harm.
Don’t Fight It is a terrific start to the Hazard Falls series and I can’t wait for more! ~ Missy, 4.5 stars
This was a good read that I liked. Shane and Tucker Wilson have been mourning their wife's death for two years and the only thing keeping them from sinking into depression is their daughter Arianna and the love that they have for each other. The guys run a ranch that has been in Shane's family for years and are in need of a house manager when their old one retires and they have had no luck finding anyone when Shane gets a call from his cousin Quinn. Paige has been in witness protection after she turned her husband in to the FBI he was running a ponzi scheme after he was convicted he killed himself she wants a fresh start all her friends turned their backs on her. With Quinn's help she gets the job on the ranch Paige grew up in a small town. The guys didn't except her to be so pretty and sweet both of them are attracted to her. Tucker is having a hard time with it he feels that he is betraying his wife Sarah he is still mourning her death from cancer. Shane is also mourning her put he knows that they have to move on for their daughter Ari. This was a really good read when the guys refuse the mayors daughter she calls the press and tell them where Paige is at she wants Tucker and Shane both of them are hot and sexy and Shane is all alpha male. The sex scenes in this book were hot. While out on a school field trip Paige Ari and a bus full of kids are taken hostage and Paige gets hurt while saving one of the kids. This was my first time reading this author this book was picked for me to read. This book was well written with no errors in spelling or grammar. I hope the author continues this series.
Loved this. This book to me was about second chances at love. I loved how the author made sure they never forgot their first wife. And that epilogue 😭 *At the time of my review this book is available on Kindle Unlimited*
I have read all of Samantha A Cole's Trident Security Series, Omega Series, and Doms of The Covenant books; never once has any of her stories disappointed. Up until Don't Fight It my favorite of her was Option Number Three, and this one could just knock ONT down a notch!
Small town USA meets progressive thinking, and some of the townsfolk aren't too happy about it. Shane and Tucker Wilson are used to the sideways looks and snide comments, but Paige Merritt is practically unknowingly being thrust into the barrage. All three of their lives are about to changed!
I haven't read too many menage books, and Sam's mainly being the ones I've read recently, but this one absolutely sets a high standard! How the characters come to know one another, how the world this story is set in opens up, the progression of it all is absolutely fantastic. DO NOT miss out on this book as I personally think it'll be the beginning of an outstanding new series!
When Shane and Tucker lose their wife to cancer, they're heartbroken but must carry on because of their daughter. Tucker is having a hard time while it seems Shane has moved on, at least that's what Tucker thinks. Paige's life is in shambles after her husband is convicted of a crime and put in prison. Even though she divorced him, people still talk and she wants to get away from everyone who knows her. She takes a job as a housekeeper, cook and nanny to Shane and Tucker. Almost immediately, Shane is attracted to her but Tucker holds back. What will happen between the three? This book is really different from Samantha Cole's other books that I was wondering at first how good it would be. I should have known better. Samantha has written a beautiful love story between 3 people who are given a second chance at love. Hazard Falls is a wonderful place but will Paige be ridiculed for being involved with 2 men who are also involved with each other? And what happens when the reporters catch up with her? Happiness, sadness, anger.....this story has all the emotions. I highly recommend this book and I'm eagerly waiting for the next book in this series as there are secondary characters that really need their story told.
5 Stars are not enough!! I can honestly say it has been a long time since I have read a book that was so well written and that I did not want to end. Samantha A. Cole could write about this triad for numerous books and they would never get old!! It's been two years since Tuck and Shane lost their wife to cancer and it has left the two husbands to raise their six year old daughter alone and try to regain their happiness. It is not until Paige, who is running away from her own demons, comes to work for them that they both feel they have found love again. But will hatred of the menage lifestyle by the townspeople put an end to their HEA ? Or will the two men find their life partner and help her overcome her past? With beautifully written characters and a storyline that not only had raw emotion but an honest understanding of true love, this book is a must read. I hope to see these characters again in the future.
For me this was another Menage where it is rushed to the sex. What made the men willing to fall in love again? How are they falling so fast? It just rushed to the HEA with this one..
Another epic read by Samantha A. Cole.. I went into this book blind. I am so glad I did, because again, I am blown away with how perfect Cole's writing is. DFI is a different side of her writing. Nevertheless, it was absolute perfection.
I think I just found my two new favorite characters. Tuck and Shane are two of the best male leads Sam has ever written.
Don't Flight It is perfection at it's best. This book deserves way may more than 5 stars!!!
Touching and inspirational read, full of love and promise. Shane and Tucker as well as their six year old daughter have struggled with the loss of their wife and her mum, now with two years past Shane really feels they need to move on or they will be lost in mourning forever. Tucker still loves their wife and just cant get past the loss, but now with a new housekeeper he has to start looking forward. Grief is a hard thing to deal with and everyone does that in a different way and time, its hard to see past that loss. The dedication both guys have to their wife is beautiful, but they made promises and their daughter also needs more than just what they can give her even though is well balanced and smart. Paige is strong but has been through tough times that have left her hurt and persecuted, needing to move away and start again. She is like a breathe of fresh air for everyone at the ranch. This is a story about overcoming the depression left by grief and hurt, it is about starting over and making new friends, it is also about discovering a new lifestyle and understanding it without prejudice. Finding love that is so much more than you can ever think to find. I loved reading this story in a brand new series by this author, it is a bit different from her other series but still incorporates a few of the ideals used in the other series. I am certainly waiting happily for the next book to see how this continues.
Another fabulous book/storyline from Samantha Cole. I love Ms. Coles writing style. Most of her books, at least the ones that I have read, have humor mixed in with romance and suspense and often have a bit of Taboo flare. Plus her amazing writing style defines the characters to the point they feel like old friends and not just people on paper in a book. That being said, “Don’t Fight It” fits the bill in true Samantha Cole fashion and I have a feeling this is going to be one heck of a new series.
Tuck and Shane lost their wife to Cancer 2 years ago and it’s be a struggle to move on without her. Being in need of a housekeeper/cook/caretaker for their 8 year old daughter, so that the men can concentrate on the ranch and their personal life, Shane takes a chance on a friend of his cousin’s, Paige, who is needing to start fresh after a nasty divorce/scandal. The book takes off from there. The 3 way attraction is there but everyone fights it for their own reasons. But when injuries, jealousy, and scandals all find their way to the ranch, the 3 become even closer. Can Paige and the two sexy ranchers find happiness and live in a menage household?
The twist and turns and suspenseful moments will have you turning the pages to find out what happens, while the tender, easygoing and romantic sections will have your toes curling. This is an awesome storyline that will having you smiling one minute and crying out OMG the next. It’s a must read worth more than 5 stars in my humble opinion. 2 Thumbs Up and Kudos to Ms. Cole for another awesome start to a series.
In Don't Fight It Samantha Cole has outdone herself and written a love story like she has never written before. The true love between the main characters will bring you joy, tears, hope and faith that love truly exists. The character development and storyline will entice and enthrall readers to read this in one sitting. You will not be able to put this amazing book down. The author has written a realistic story of love lost, anger at the loss due to cancer, denial and grief that all survivors feel, and the hope and faith in finding a new love while honoring the old love. In Shane and Tuck she has written the best couple of all time. Their gripping pain and raw need for each other after their wife dies will tear your heart out. You will fall in love with both of these men and feel all of their emotions as they move forward. Their chemistry and eroticism will steam up the pages but is written in such a way that you cannot stop rooting for them. When Paige is thrown into the relationship and you watch them fall in love and grow into a real relationship you will be right their with them. My admiration for the author and her talented writing has grown immensely with this book. She made me feel every bit of angst, pain, and fear that her characters felt before love found them. The secondary characters are so well written that I cannot wait to see where this series leads us. Job well done Samantha. Do not miss this magnificent book. .
What a great start to a new series of talented author Samantha A. Cole. Shane and Tucker have lost their wife to cancer, they are still mourning the loss of a wonderful woman while trying to raise their daughter, Ari. Then there comes Paige who needs to start a new life because of something her ex-husband has done. Shane is smitten with the woman right from the beginning, but Tucker still has difficulties to let someone else into his life. Slowly but surely, Paige also worms her way into Tucker's heart and everything would be great if there weren't some bad guys.
The moment I started reading the book, I was not able to put it down and read it in one sitting. At first I thought this would be a sweet romance without any heart stopping moments, but I should know better. Not if the author is Samantha A. Cole! Needless to say is that what happened towards the end of the book had me at the edge of my seat.
Shane, Tucker and Paige were such great characters, they drew me in right from the first page. The intimate scenes were off the charts hot and I enjoyed all the scenes, be it male/male, male/female or the hotter than Hades threesome. The secondary characters were also very well fleshed out and I look forward to learn more about them. I hope that the next book in this series will be about Lane and firecracker Lou. This is a book that made it to my personal favorite of all time list! If I could, I would give ten stars!
Ok This is well detailed as always written book by Samantha A. Cole! The writing flows nicely. Before you know it it is 4 hours later and lost sleep but it was so worth it!
This is probably something I wouldn't read, but since I am a fan of Samantha it was ahhmmaazzziiinnngg!!
Tuck and Shane are amazing men who have a daughter. They need help with the ranch and someone to care for Ari. Paige comes in and does amazing. Tuck and Shane realize that they want Paige to be more than someone that takes care of them and makes meals for the people on the ranch. Little did they know , Paige loves to read romance and she had many menage on her kindle. So they ask her. Will she say yes?
If this is something you don't care to read then by all means don't, but Samantha writes really good so give it a try. I can't wait for book 2
"I'd rather be poor and be with people who like me for me, not what they can get from me, than to be rich with false friendships."
This book is a great start to a new series. An unusual but loving relationship between Shane, Tucker and Sarah scandalized the sleepy town of Hazard Falls, but their love rose above that and resulted in a daughter, Arianna.
When Sarah was cruelly taken by cancer, the men never thought they'd love another woman again. Until Paige came along a couple of years later. For the first time in a long time, the men are attracted to the same woman, who has joined them as their new housekeeper.
This love story unfolds in a beautiful and tender way, albeit with some hot love scenes thrown in. The standard of writing from Samantha Cole is superb, as usual. Her name on a book means a quality read, and this book did not disappoint. I can't wait to find out more about the residents of Hazard Falls.
I have read all of Samantha A Cole's work and when I read the blurb for this it appeared to be a deviation from her norm. It certainly was and I enjoyed it as much as any of her other work. It's a wonderful love story about love that is different and I was sucked in from the first page. Shane, Tucker, Paige and Arianna are now firm favourites. The plot/story is well put together and Samantha really knows how to weave characters into your heart. I cried only a little way into the book as I learnt how Tucker and Shane had lost their first love. As usual the author doesn't disappoint with some scorching hot love scenes!!!! There is also just enough humour and a little suspense. This has been named as the Hazard Falls Book one. I've fallen in love with this town and some of its residents, and I am eagerly awaiting the sequel. I love the Trident Security Series by this author and I think I'm going to love this series just as much. Samantha A Cole has done it again. Another fantastic read!
Hot dang does Samantha know how to write a book or what. These 3 will tear at your heart, but it gets put back together. Shane and Tucker lose their wife to cancer, they're heartbroken but life must carry on for their daughter. Tucker is having a very hard time of it. Then there Nanny quits on them. They need to find a new one. Then there is Paige. Paige's life is a hot mess. After her husband is convicted of a crime and put in prison things get hard for Paige. She divorces her husband, but people still talk and say awful things and she wants a fresh start. She takes a job as a housekeeper, cook, and nanny to none other than Shane and Tucker. Shane likes Paige and they seem too hot hit it off, but Tucker is still struggling with the loss of there wife. Will these 3 be able to make it work? Will Tucker ever be able to be happy again?
Found randomly on scribd and really enjoyed it. Quick, heartfelt with a few twist and OMG moments with hot spice! MM/MF/MMF Damn that barn scene was hot!!
First book from this author and I will definitely be reading more.
I feel like stomping my foot like a 3 year old and demand MORE of Shane, Tuck and Paige! From the moment I heard about this book, I knew it was one of my must reads and did it ever take me on a wild ride! As a small town girl myself, Samantha A. Cole nailed it. The perfect amount of 'meddling townsfolk" and just the right way to handle them. Falling in love with these characters was instant and while Don't Fight It is book one, I know for certain, I will be not so patiently waiting for book 2. I'm packing my bags and going to be a resident of Hazard Falls, somehow.
OMG! I've volunteered to review this book for the author. I love reading Samantha A Cole books. This is the first book to Hazard Falls series. This story is about Shane, Tucker and Paige. This story touching and inspirational read, full of love and promise. Another instant favorite from Samantha. The love between Tucker and Shane was so sexy, then you add the passion with Paige and you get your heartstrings pulled. I can't wait to read the next book in this new series. Keep up the amazing work Samantha! I HIGHLY recommend this story. It's a MUST READ!!!!!
This is the first book in this series. I love small town romances. Where everyone knows each other and they're up in your business. I loved everything about Shane, Paige and Tucker's relationship. I supported them from the beginning. This story has some of everything love, lust, friendship, sadness and suspense. This is a must read, get your copy today.
This book made me cry with in the first couple of pages but what a great book it was. I truly believe that Sarah was behind Paige needing to get out of California and becoming Shane and Tuck's housekeeper along with a nanny of sort for Arianna. Things happen for a reason and reading this in one setting is not one I'll regret. Cant wait for the next book to come out.
I keep telling myself that Samantha Cole can’t possibly get any better. I don’t even bother to read the blurb and I 1-click if it has her name on it. However, this woman has seriously created something new that I can not wait to sink my teeth into. I was a bit worried about Samantha changing the types of books she writes (HELLO MY SEXY SIX PACK). I kept thinking why something new, we need the Trident fellows and Master Carter. I have to admit, after the first read…this is one of my favorite all-time books.
You meet Shane and fall in love, then you meet Tuck and Holy Bananas Batman…wow. These two are HOT. Shane, Tuck, and their daughter has suffered a great tragedy. Shane has moved on, Tuck still is struggling. Enter Paige and everyone is in for changes. This book will take you through every emotion available, it will keep you on the seat of your charge, and you will not be able to put it down.
Oh my goodness, loved this book so much! The characters are fantastic and the story line was mesmerizing. I adored Shane and Paige but Tucker took a little longer to wrap me around his finger. The three of them together are lots of warm, wonderful things: an ideal family that I would love to be part of. The intimate scenes are scorching and the alpha males live up to their billing when things take a dangerous turn. All in all, a book you must read as soon as you can. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and loved every moment of it.
I will definitely be getting this one in PRINT! I am a huge fan of Samantha A Cole. She is a one click author for me. I was first introduced to her through her Trident Series (BDSM/Suspense) with all its branches of amazingness. She has a way of writing that just pulls the reader into the story as if they are there while it's unfolding around them. Her newest book "Don't Fight It" goes down a different path than her Trident series, but I was more than happy to read it as I am a fan of her and menage as well - yes I said menage :) with two sexy, strong cowboys - YUM!, their beautiful little girl and a sassy but sweet woman. If you are a SAC or menage newbie then please let this be your first dip in the pool. I promise you will not be disappointed. I hope to see you soon in Hazard Falls!
Where to start ?!?!? I have read all of Samantha’s book and can honestly say I had never read a ménage or a MM book until I got into her Trident Security Series and then I branched our from there thanks to her, but with that being said and with having read all of her book I can say hands down that THIS book is my all time favorite ! Shane, Tucker and Paige blew me away I laughed , fanned myself, blushed profusely and I may have dropped a few ugly words at a certain blonde throughout their story , you will not be disappointed in giving this book a chance! Master Ian just lost his number one seat to Shane and Tucker , jump in and enjoy ladies you won’t be sorry !!!
I have read all of Samantha's books and enjoyed them all, some more than others. I went into this book skeptical because I love her as a BDSM author and honestly think she does it better than most that I have read, however I shouldn't have worried. This book was beautiful! It was truly one of the best love stories I have ever read, and I've read a TON! I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love. The way Samantha is able to write the love between these three was nothing short of amazing, and bonus it has the hot as hell love scenes that I know and love from her. I look forward to reading more about the citizens of Hazard Falls. I wish I could give this awesome book more than 5 stars!
Loved loved loved this book. I do believe this is one of my all time favorites. Tucker, Shane, Paige and Ali may be an unconventional family but there is no mistaking the love that they share. To take a grieving family and love them enough to heal them is a wonderful beautiful thing. Samantha Cole’s ability to put you in the story so that you feel every emotion that the characters feel is astonishing. You smile, laugh, cry and get angry right along with them. The sexual tension is an all time high and you catch yourself cheering them on. I can’t wait for the next installment of this series. A definite must read!!
I thought this book would be a major departure from the Trident security series and the BDSM books Samantha writes so well, and while I was not really wrong I was also not completely correct. This book was beautifully written with a subject matter that was handled with both care and eroticism that left me turning the pages late into the night. An erotic journey into love and loss, grief, and growth, as well as a hope for the future, that will have the reader laughing, crying and wanting more stories from this new series by a much-loved author. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a beautifully written menage with a storyline with heart.
Shane and Tucker were not looking for another partner but when Paige enters their lives, quite the attraction transpires. They lost one woman they loved to cancer could they ever fall in love again? I enjoyed their steamy chemistry (Wow) and also the journey all three took to find their HEA. I am a huge fan of this author and like her other stories I read straight through as I did not want to put down.
