Except those two cowboys aren’t strangers, they’re from her Montana hometown. When they see her at her sister’s wedding, they try to change her mind about the one “f” word she avoids: fiancés. Because they’ll do everything they can to make her theirs. Permanently.

This is a quick and crazy story of Avery coming back to Bridgewater County for her sister’s wedding. Dreading coming back because of her parents constant arguments and put downs.
Being stranded in Minnesota Airport had its good points as Avery bumps into Jackson and Dash both her high school crushes. Christmas comes in two’s in Bridgewater County.
Avery who is afraid of relationships slips out in the middle of the night. Jackson and Dash have no intention of letting getting away.
This is a quick and enjoyable story, with a festive feel to it. Sometimes all you want is something not too long, and puts a smile on your face at the end.

I'm kinda sad that the Bridgewater County series is coming to an end, but Kiss Me Crazy is a fun and sexy AF way to end it!

I immediately connected with Avery, Jackson and Dash. I loved how quickly their relationship started—it was hot AF right from the first page!

Jackson and Dash knew what they wanted-Avery from the moment they re-laid their eyes on her. She was raised in Bridgewater, so she understood the tradition of the town, but she was raised by parents who didn't provide a healthy, loving example of a relationship.

It wasn't an easy sell—it took a lot beyond their amazing sexy-times chemistry for Jackson and Dash to breakdown Avery's walls. But it was so worth the battle. Especially when the outcome is not just one but two sexy fiancés. ~ Missy, 4 stars

The story has laughs, secrets, naughty fun, and heartbreak. I was pulled right into this story. The story flowed well, and I was kept interested.

Take Me Fast
Hold Me Close (Bridgewater County #4)

This is Avery, Jackson and Dash’s story. Avery is returning to Bridgewater for her sister’s wedding. She does not believe in forever but can be happy with one night. These two men will take the one night and demand a forever. They have one night to convince her that she wants a forever and she wants it with them. These two men know exactly what they want and not afraid to take it. Can they convince Avery that they can make a forever work with the three of them or is she going to leave them after one night of fun?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read. I need to go back and read the other stories in this series.

I recommend this book.

Kiss Me Crazy is the latest book in in the Bridgewater County Series and it features Bridgewater’s veterinarians, Jackson and Dash, and travel journalist, Avery. Avery, who is always on the run with her job, till one night she meets up with Jackson and Dash, two awesome men from Bridgewater.
Avery is a travel Journalist who goes all around the world and she is just coming back from an assignment and she is traveling home to Bridgewater for her sister’s wedding. While she may have grown up in Bridgewater, and accustomed to the relationships of two men and one woman unions. She is turned off on marriage and relationships due to how her own parents’ marriage was- all they did was argue and fight and have affairs. So Avery doesn’t plan on ever getting married or do relationships, instead she has one-night stands and then walks away in the morning.
Avery has an intense one night stand when she meets Jackson & Dash during a delayed flight back home and they ended up sharing a hotel room. The men fell hard for Avery during the one night stand while Avery saw it as just a one night stand. Avery ends up meeting up with them back in Bridgewater and they show Avery how good it could be with them but can Avery stop her running ?
I enjoyed reading about the romance and the passion between the triad Jackson, Avery and Dash. There was some pretty hot M-F-M scenes as well as great emotional scenes as well. I also liked seeing previous couples from this series make an appearance. This book is full of passion, angst, confusion, anger, revelations and love. This is why I love reading Bridgewater County series for it always is full of new beginnings for the couples that get together.

I love Vanessa Vales books the Bridgewater country has got to be one of the hottest MFM series I've devoured and I can't wait to read any of her future projects .

Of coarse Jackson and Dash are alpha sexy and would do anything to get their woman . Can't wait to read more by Vanessa Vale I always get so excited when I see an upcoming story by her .

Thank goodness for the internet being out at work and letting me be able to read at work - Boss might not know that though. Anywho, this was a fast, HOT, MFM read!

I haven’t read any of the other stories in series and I think I would want to Just to get the whole backstory since Avery is back home for a wedding and it sounds like that wedding was the result of another book’s story.

Jackson and Dash know what they want and that ends up being Avery - who doesn’t want anything more than a one-Night Stand. They’ll have to convince her to do so and they do in the hottest of ways!

[Valerie · Rating 4 out of 5]

When you know nothing of happy families it’s hard to imagine yourself in a happy relationship. When the opportunity hits you over the head when you are on your way home? Well it’s harder to believe it could possibly be true. Ms. Vale has given her readers the opportunity to see how happiness is a choice, not predestined. Back to Bridgewater her characters visit the same locations her readers have come to love in previous books. This is a wonderfully written book all about coming to know yourself and not being locked into what people think of you. Enjoy this latest trip back to Bridgewater where happiness comes in threes.

[Courtney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kiss Me Crazy was a little different from the rest of the series. This one started off with all three of them already all togather instead of two of them meeting up. Plus Avery already knows the Bridgewater way with her being from there, but her parents cruddy relationship had made her not even want to have a relationship with anyone. It takes awhile but eventually Dash and Jackson convince her that she can have a relationship with them, and it not be like her parents.

Absolutely brilliant 👏

I really enjoyed this story of her playing hard to get. Deep down she always knew what she wanted. I loved this series can't believe it's over.

[Chalice · Rating 3 out of 5]

The couple: Jackson, Dash, and Avery

Romance trope: menage
Series: Bridgewater County
Length: 200 pages

Plot: Avery is heading back home for her sister's wedding and runs into her high school crushes, Jackson and Dash, who are ready to claim her as theirs and take her home if she'll let them. But Avery's one goal in life was to get out of town and away from her toxic family, and she doesn't intend to go back on that. Jackson and Dash are willing to take her on her terms, but what does Avery really want?

Commentary: Definitely modern heros - can you imagine a Harlequin hero waiting for her to figure out what she wanted in life and letting her go after it? Nope, me either. This was a sweet, fairly short story set in a town where permanent menage relationships are the norm rather than the exception.
Her sister was so sad. It always amazes me how in a family where both children were raised with the exact same example, the outcomes can be so different.

Previous book in the series: Make Me Yours

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two of my favorite things about this book are it takes place during the Christmas season and one word cowboys! It can't get better then having two cowboys who also are veterinarians having their sights on you. Avery dreads coming home to Bridgewater, but Dash and Jackson are going to make this homecoming quite memorable. Dash and Jackson want a Bridgewater relationship with Avery, but they have their work cut out for them. The heat level is scorching in this one. The chemistry between the characters is great. If you're a fan of MFM romance I highly recommend this book. It's my second favorite in the series.

SHE JUST WANTED A NEW NORMAL

The Bridgewater County series is an amazing contemporary adventure that is a spinoff from the historical based Bridgewater ménage series but takes place in present day. The town of Bridgewater, Montana still holds with the founding father principles of two or three alpha dominant males claiming and marrying one woman, and partnering for life. The method has proved successful for over a hundred years and why change what works? The story will read as a stand-alone.

Avery is traveling home to Bridgewater for her sister’s wedding. It isn’t a visit she is looking forward to and is already counting down the days until she can leave for her next assignment to Brazil. While she may have grown up in Bridgewater, and accustomed to the relationships of two men and one woman triad union, it wasn’t what her parents had. But then again, her parents had a very toxic marriage that was full of bickering and affairs. Avery is so jaded by how she grew up; she doesn’t do relationships, she has one-night stands and leaves before morning.

Bridgewater locals, and veterinarians, Jackson Wray and Dash McPherson, are returning to Montana from attending a conference in Minneapolis when they meet up with the girl of their dreams, Avery, in the airport. With flight delays, the three will share a room and a night of passion. “Why not have a little fun while we’re stranded?” “Our girl is definitely uninhibited. Hot. Wild. Sensitive. Easily aroused. Bold.” What a shock to wake up and she is gone. She may have left them, but they are determined when they get home to find her.

The plot will bring Avery home between assignments to more of the same with her parents, the consent fighting, name-calling, threats, and all that anger and angst is more than she can handle.
When Jackson and Dash show up on her doorstep, she will escape to Jackson’s family home for a Christmas party. What a world of difference in personalities, people, hugs, and love. It will also lead to going home with the men for a night of passion back at Jackson’s house. “I was comfortable with them. They didn’t judge, didn’t think me slutty for knowing exactly what I wanted and going after it.” “Jackson and Dash only dominated when I was willing to submit.” “My body knew these men, wanted them, despite the fact that my brains were telling me it was time to run away.”

Avery’s childhood was nothing like what she witnessed with Aunt Louise, or the Wray family, or even the others that attended the Christmas party. But she fears she will be just like her parents, or even or sister, marrying just because and even cheating days before the wedding, like it was normal. “Maybe if I ever did fall in love, I’d end up exactly like the rest of my family. Cold and bitter.”

“Being able to commit isn’t a hereditary gene. It is a choice. You can decide whether you want to be like them or whether you want to use that experience as a guide for what you don’t want in a relationship. You could learn from them and make different choices. Better choices. Besides, it’s easy to commit when it’s with the right person.” “It’s a choice, sweetheart. We’re just hoping that you choose to be with us.”

What will happen when it is time for Avery to leave Bridgewater, Jackson, and Dash? She has an assignment she accepted in Brazil. The further from her men she gets, the harder it becomes and the desire to leave isn’t there. Could she have a future with them, one that includes love and commitment? “I didn’t have to let my parents’ toxic relationship define me. I could choose a different pattern, to respect the men I chose to be with. To like them as people. As friends. As lovers, even. I could love them. It was a choice.” “We’ll always give you what you need.” “It wasn’t just double penetration. It was trust. Submission. Love.”

The story is full of passion, exploration, revelations, new beginnings, angst, confusion, and discovery. The relationship between these three sizzles with an erotic chemistry. I love how Jackson and Dash never push or try and coerce Avery, and always allow her to feel in control, offering their support, even if that means letting her go and travel. The sex scenes are explicit and include M-F-M ménage scenes.

[Janine - The World Was Hers for the Reading · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kiss Me Crazy was the final installment in Vanessa Vale’s Bridgewater County series. However, it can easily be read as a standalone, as each book is unique to the trio it portrays.

Avery loves having a life of travel and freedom. Flings are fun, but she never plans on settling down, especially after witnessing her parents sham of a marriage her entire life. She sees no reason to make herself miserable in a loveless match when there is a big world to explore as a successful travel journalist. When her flight is delayed and she runs into Jackson and Dash, two men she used to crush on from her hometown, she seizes the moment when they offer to share their hotel room with her, as a little fling never hurt anyone.

When Jackson and Dash are on their way back home after a conference and run into Avery, they know it’s time to claim her as “the one” who will complete their triad. There’s just one little problem . . .Avery doesn’t want to be claimed. Having only a short amount of time to convince Avery that most relationships are not like her parent’s, Jackson and Dash know they have to give it everything they’ve got to convince her to stay while she’s home for her sister’s wedding before she leaves them behind to pursue her career once again.

Kiss Me Crazy was a great ending to the Bridgewater County series. Avery is a kick butt female lead who has a successful career and knows exactly what she doesn’t want in life. She’s learned to avoid what makes her unhappy, which happens to be being home in Bridgewater around her dysfunctional family. Jackson and Dash come from a loving and involved family background, completely opposite of what Avery has experienced. They know and understand why she is a flight risk and do everything in their power to not only support her career goals, but show her what a loving relationship can be like . . . even if it is long distance.

There are some super hot and steamy scenes as well as some great comedic relief with both Avery’s aunt and Jackson’s mother scheming to get the triad together behind the scenes. I also enjoyed the soul searching done by both Avery and her guys as they try to do what’s right for themselves and each other so everyone gets their happy ever after. It’s a fun, quick read and completely unique to the rest of the books in this series. 4 stars!

COWBOYS ARE THE BEST!!

“Kiss Me Crazy is the sixth in a series of books set in Bridgewater County, Montana. “The Bridgewater Way” is the sharing of two men to one woman. To care for her, love her, protect her and make her their wife. Ms. Vale also wrote a series of eight books under the same premise, called, “Bridgewater Ménage Series” set in the 1800’s (don’t quote me), on a ranch spread named, Bridgewater.

Avery is an independent, sassy, one – night – stand travel journalist. Avery’s had a crush on Jackson and Dash since high school. Avery is reintroduced to them at a Minneapolis airport on her way to Bridgewater County for her sister’s wedding. Avery comes from a dysfunctional, lack of love family, which has made her swear off forming any kind of committed relationship so she wanted a one night stand, but Jackson and Dash want her for keeps.

Dash is the surly one but both Dash and Jackson are possessive, sexy, dominant and rough. They’re looking for love and they found it in Avery. They both live in Bridgewater County and are business partners at their own veterinary practice. They’re both Bridgewater men through and through. They find their woman, they claim her and they love her.

The classics almost always work especially if it has two dominate, and sexy men chasing a feisty woman, more the better. Boys ask girl to stay and let them love her, girl wants her independence and thinks she will have the dysfunctional relationship her parents and now her sister has, so girl leaves for the airport to board an airplane to some far off country, boys run after her to keep her safe, girl never gets on plane and they meet when girl decides to return home to them. Then girl and boys can’t wait to get home so they make love in the closest hotel room.

Right off the bat, this book gives you exactly what the men want, the One. So get ready to reread some chapters, because you can’t believe they said it and do it. The book made my heart rate speed up. I found myself laughing, smiling and gushing. I wanted to get to the end and at the same time, I didn’t want the book to end. There was the right amount of sex scenes, not too much and just enough.

Avery grew up with a rather dysfunctional family, so when she finally had the opportunity to escape she did. Over the years her visits home have been few and far between. Her visit this time is because her sister is getting married but luckily for her she gets to postpone her arrival by a day due to her flight being delayed.

Jackson and Dash are traveling back home after a conference when their luck turns in their favor.. the girl they've crushed on for years is sitting right in front of them. When they make their move, they believe everything they want is finally in their grasp.

However, come morning Avery has bolted without a word leaving Jackson and Dash scratching their heads. But now that they've regrouped, they going to go after her and do everything they can to make her see they belong together.

Will Avery comes to see things the way Jackson and Dash believe? Or will her nomad lifestyle be too strong to give up?

Kiss Me Crazy is a fun, passionate, erotic read that will captivate the reader from start to finish. The chemistry between Jackson, Dash, and Avery is off the charts. I love their connection both in the bedroom and out.

Avery is a strong woman that and I love how she is kind, honest, and loyal despite her upbringing.

Jackson and Dash are just too yummy for words. Just thinking about them makes my heart skip a beat.

I have loved this series and all the sexy cowboys, but I think Jackson and Dash are by far my favorite.

So if you are looking for a couple handsome cowboys to sweep you off your feet, then I highly recommend you pick up Kiss Me Crazy and ride off into the sunset in this seductive romance.

[KnottyGirl Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the sixth book in Vanessa Vale’s small town Bridgewater County series, where the women are lucky enough to get their alpha cowboys in sets of two! (And, there’s no sharing the boys with each other, the attention is all on her!) I happen to like it when menages don’t have the men together, I may be one of the few.

Our heroine, Avery, is a travel writer who is coming back to Bridgewater County for her sister’s wedding. She plans on taking right back off, thanks in part to her parents, who do nothing but bicker and make her life miserable. But on the way home, stuck at the airport, she encounters Bridgewater’s very own vets, Dash and Jackson. She decides spending the night holed up with them would be a nice way to pass the time. The guys are thinking of something a bit more permanent. So when she sneaks off the next morning, they decide they’ll teach her what it means to be theirs. But will a woman who shuns relationships and the very town she was brought up in want to put down roots with two Bridgewater guys? They certainly have help trying!

This was a fun read, though I did find the guys to be a bit sex crazed. Let’s face it, they start right off in bed and that’s where we find them wanting her most of the time. Even Jackson’s mom seemed to be encouraging them. (Handcuffs, really?) And on a personal note, I probably would have just wanted Dash, I’m not a fan of beards. But that’s me, and I still think this is a great series, especially if you love your spanking!

Kiss Me Crazy is another short but super sexy read by the talented Vanessa Vale that I couldn't get enough of. I have been reading this series for a while now, and while I love all of them, it seems like this one had a bit more angst than normal, but maybe that's me. Anyway, I'll quickly recap. Avery grew up in an odd situation for Bridgewater County as her parents spent her whole childhood fighting. So as soon as she could, she was out of there, choosing a career that kept her traveling for her job. When she has to come home for her sister's wedding, she spends a HOT night with Jackson & Dash, sneaking out before they woke up. As soon as they got home, they made sure that Avery knew that they wanted to keep her, but will Avery take a chance on settling down, or will her fears keep her running? I really loved Jackson, Dash, and Avery a lot, although I did want to shake Avery a time or two, as they were great together. And in bed, WOWZA! Fiery flames shot out of my kindle to scorch any item nearby! Vanessa Vale has a brilliant way of writing a shorter story that I always love. And that doesn't always happen with other shorts, as they can sometimes be too rushed, which makes it impossible to become emotionally attached to the characters. Anyway, there was an entertaining cast of secondaries that kept me laughing, and added something extra to the story as a whole. This is a great story to cuddle up & keep warm with that I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

This is the last book in the Bridgewater County series.  These book all have menages.  Which is always interesting to me to read.  This particular series the Bridgewater men are used to having multiples in a relationship.  This particular one is two men and one woman.  A woman they've been interested in since high school, but never let her know she was their One.

Avery's parents weren't the typical Bridgewater couple.  She had one mother and one father...and they hated each other.  So it's only fitting that she steer clear of serious relationships.  Avery is a travel journalist and she finds herself stuck in an airport on her way home to attend her sisters wedding.  She happens to run into two of the hottest men from her high school class who happen to be returning from a Veterinarian conference.

One night...that's all Avery expects.  All she's determined to want.  Watching her parent and now her sister there can't be happiness in a relationship, right?  Jackson and Dash are determined to change her mind.  Wanting Avery since high school, these two men are not going to let her get away if they can help it.

This particular story will read really quickly for you, I have a feeling.  It did for me.  These three are cool cats and their relatives are just plum crazy.  Definitely will get a chuckle or two out of you from the relatives.  I'm sure you will enjoy the love story as well.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Avery grew up with Jackson and Dash.  But she left town as soon as she graduated.  Avery's childhood wasn't happy, unlike most in Bridgewater.  She doesn't believe that happiness in the form of a relationship is in the cards for her.  So she makes the most of life, traveling for her job, essentially having no home base, nothing holding her back.  When she heads back home for her sister's wedding, she runs into Jackson and Dash.  They enjoy each other for a night, but then she tries to keep them at arms length.  

Avery is a very confused, unhappy woman.  She thinks she has the best of life, but doesn't realize what she is missing.  When she hooks up with Dash and Jackson, she can't see a way or a reason for it to go past one night.  Dash and Jackson, on the other hand, see the possibilities, and stubbornly won't take Avery's no for an answer.  They are great guys, and treat Avery like a queen, which only confuses her more.  

This is a very sweet read, the last in the Bridgewater County series.  I enjoyed visiting with characters from previous books, and seeing how their lives are going.  There was lots of sweet moments, laughs, and even a few tears.  Like all of the Bridgewater books, it is a menage, and very HOT!  Although it is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone.  However, immersing yourself in the series before reading makes it a richer experience!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Avery grew up in Bridgewater but not in the traditional Bridgewater family. She has one mom and one dad instead of one mom and two dads. Oh and her parents hate each other. When she bumps into two friends from high school at an airport on her way home they have a crazy night in a hotel room. But Avery doesn't do relationships thanks to seeing her parents dysfunctional one all her life. Jackson and Dash don't get a chance to tell her their interested in more than a fling in an airport hotel. When their paths cross again once back in Bridgewater the guys will have to show Avery she isn't her parents and doesn't have to be and she's allowed to choose love for herself.

I loved this story! Avery's parents were the worst and then her sister I couldn't believe it! I was so sad for her that she couldn't realize that she can love the guys even though her parents don't love each other. Jackson and Dash are so patient with her, bringing her to the Christmas party trying to show her what normal is. I loved the meddling mother and aunt trying to get the three of them together. I thought it was cool that Avery's job is a travel writer but when she's heading into danger she makes the choice to return to her men. Loved that they found themselves again in an airport hotel at the end just like the beginning making the story come full circle. Another great read.

A truely wonderful story of once women named Avery, who is always on the run, till one night she meets up with Jackson and Dash, two wonderful men from Bridgewater.
Avery comes from a household where her mother and father are always arguing, and when she does go home for a visit they are always on her case to stay.

Avery is a travel Journalist travelling around the world, she has just come back from Mexico where there had been shooting, waiting at the Airport she comes across Jackson and Dash who have just been at a Vets Conference. They have a wonderful night together, the boys thinking they would wake up in the morning with Avery are sadly mistaken, she left them and went home alone.
..
Going back home Jackson and Dash look up Avery again, and rescue her from her parents, while taking her to a party that there parents are having'
Avery seems to be enjoying herself but the boys know that they have to be careful or she will run again. They have to show her they love her and that not all marriages are like her parents.

I really loved this beautiful story well worth reading... Definately worth 5 stars

Kiss Me Crazy by Vanessa Vale is a contemporary romance with a lot of heat. The setting of the book is Bridgewater County, Montana. The story revolves around the characters of Dash and Jackson who are best friends and have benn since they were little and also the character of Avery who is a travel writer and is from the same hometown as Dash and Jackson and went to high school with them. The three characters are reacquainted when they are stranded in Minneapolis for a weather related flight delay. Needless to say they end up having to stay overnight and Dash and Jackson make Avery a proposition she cannot refuse. Dash and Jackson don't want to give Avery up once they have had a little taste. Will Avery take the plunge? You will need to read the book to find out. This story is full of sexual situations and the relationship amongst the characters burns the pages. The story is well written and a very quick read. I was so intrigued I could not stop reading and thoroughly enjoyed the book. This book is worth reading and i rate it 5 stars. - By Julie

Okay so first things first, obviously this was hot. The author absolutely knows how to write sex scenes, because it was done well.

But the rest of the book kind of lost me. I know that this is part of a series, but I thought this would be fine as a stand-alone. And while I don’t think it was bad as a stand-alone, I think it would have been helpful to read the other books previously to maybe understand the town and relationships better?

This book had a very bold start. Like, I kind of felt like I was somehow starting on chapter 3 or something. I felt like I needed some backstory. But it just jumped right in.

I never really felt connected to any of the characters. I feel like that can be a tough thing in general with novellas, but it was so insta-lovey and because the characters knew each other from their past, it was almost like we were told there were feelings there and were just expected to believe it, whereas I prefer books that actually show it.

I’m certainly not disappointed that I read this, I just wished that I loved it more than I did.

This book is part of a series but can be read on its own. However, once you read about the men of Bridgewater County and the way they cherish their "one," you'll want to read more of the series. It is common practice for the men of Bridgewater County to engage in ménage relationships. Jackson and Dash both come from families with two fathers and one mother, so they always knew that they would one day share a woman. So when they happen upon their high school crush, Avery, they know that they have finally found their future wife. They just need to convince her that not all marriages are like the one her parents have.
Once again, Vanessa Vale has written a very steamy ménage romance with very likeable characters. I'm sad to see this series end but hopefully there are plenty of books just as hot to look forward to from Vanessa Vale!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is by far my favorite of this series.
Avery is a woman that is raised in an abnormal home when it comes to love. She's so afraid of turning out like her parents that all she has is one night stands. But one one night stand isn't letting her run. Dash & Jackson have been in love with Avery since high school. They are tired of her running. They are determine to show her what love is. Trying their best not to push her, they don't mention love or staying with them instead of going on one of her travel assignments. When Avery does leave, it kills her. Her heart aches, but she believes leaving is the answer. Her Aunt Louise & Jackson's mom even tries to match make. Thank God her men have a better brain than the aunt & mom. They go after their woman. Going to show her that she is their everything & protecting her is their number one priority.
