Welcome to Double D Ranch, the adults-only ranch resort where your fantasies become reality. Unpack, unwind, and get uninhibited...

Librarian Cara Leone fell down a rabbit hole when she began secretly reading very spicy books. They not only piqued her interest in that lifestyle, but made it abundantly clear how much her love life has been lacking in the intimacy department. On a whim, she books a week-long stay at the resort to see if the sweat-inducing romances she reads are more fiction than reality.

Dayne Lyons loves all things dirty. When he and his twin brother partnered to open the all-inclusive resort, he planned on using it as his own personal playground. How convenient was it to have a choice of guests at his fingertips to play out all of his fantasies? One night, when he runs into a very nervous Cara, he can’t ignore the obvious... This resort guest is out of her element.

Heath Thompson desperately needs a little getaway. The investment trader has been all work and no play for the last few years while financially recovering from his ugly divorce. However, once he arrives at the resort, things don’t go quite as planned. His unexpected attraction to both Cara and Dayne has him teaming up with the resort owner to help open up a whole new world for the innocent Cara.

Only, what starts out as a temporary partnership ends up being so much more.

Note: Unbridled is the second book in the Double D Ranch series. It’s intended for audiences over 18 years of age since it includes mature MMF interactions between all three characters. As always, the throuple has an HEA ending.

I love the tag line for this series...
"Welcome to Double D Ranch, the adults-only ranch resort where your fantasies become reality. Unpack, unwind, and get uninhibited..."

Don't judge a book by its cover...really??? I do it all the time! Speaking of books...Cara's life is books. She is the quintessential sexy librarian who reads more than she does, but after a bad break up she hopes to explore some of the things she read about in her spicy books. And she discovered that the best place to test the waters was at the Double D Ranch.

Cara called the resort and the smooth, manly voice at the end of the line was none other than the wilder co-owner and twin Dayne. Carefully talking Cara through the resort's goals for exploration and all the amenities, Dayne convinced her into the adventure of a lifetime.

Cara and Dayne's actual meet cute was surprising and explosive...surprising in it's location (just steps away from some group fun) and explosive in that Cara exploded for the first time ever at the hands of a man...but it wasn't just Dayne's hands that got the job done, no it was Dayne's voyeur narration of an unknown man at the top of the human pile.

Well, let me tell you, I loved that opening chapter! The concept of the series along with the throuples in each book present a challenge in each book. The forced proximity along with the time stamp on their vacations created a great push and pull for Dayne and Heath with respect to introducing Cara to the life.

Opps...did I not introduce Heath??? Oh my...I loved him best of all. From the moment he was described in the human pile to his internal thoughts on runs with Dayne, I loved Heath! Older, seemingly set in his ways yet open to "just about anything", Heath is the full package. Start singing now: "6-5", finance." Yes, Heath has been working hard to regain his financial security, but he is resourceful, smexy af, kind, and looking/not-looking for the real thing. I enjoyed his openness to Double D ranch, but especially to the possibility of committing again.

It should go without saying that this one is hawt!!! But, I loved that Cara's innocence was first and foremost in both men's minds. They were careful with her, checked in often for consent, and provided the encouragement and patience she needed to catch up to them sexually. The HEA was unconventional...but then aren't all throuples?

Enjoyed it! ^~^*/*

Am I reading kamasutra in the form of romance novel? Am I complaining? Hell no. I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest MMF romance I’ve read but it is a funny and easy to read book. Recommend as light read

If this line doesn't hook the reader I don't know what will... "Welcome to Double D Ranch, the adults-only ranch resort where your fantasies become reality. Unpack, unwind, and get uninhibited..."

I've been itching to read the next instalment since finishing Undone and Jeanne St. James did not disappoint with book 2. Cara's life is books (and I mean come on it's not a bad place to be), but she's looking to explore about the topics she's read about in her spicy books after a bad breakup. After doing some research she sees an add for Double D Ranch- so of course she calls up the place. The smouldering, sexy voice on the other end of the line convinces her to take a chance on the ranch.

When she does she almost finds herself overwhelmed and close to leaving until a stranger walks in. That stranger- the sexy voice on the line and co-owner of the ranch Dayne. They then have an explosive encounter out in the open that leaves them both wanting more- and to add a sexy stranger they saw during this encounter.

I absolutely love how Heath and Dayne work together to give Cara everything she was looking for during her stay at the Double D Ranch. The only problem? They all catch feelings but don't want to admit it to each other as they try to navigate through the relationship.

Jeanne St. James ABSOLUTELY knows how to write these books and I'm ADDICTED. I absolutely need more of the Double D Ranch. The spicy scenes she writes leave NOTHING up to the imagination. I also thoroughly enjoy the fact that as an author she's able to write about not only the MF relationship, but the MM and MMF without having any aspects of the growing relationship lost.

I cannot wait for the next instalment in this series- I will be eagerly awaiting it!

Oh My Goodness!! A fantastic second book!!

Reading this series in order is best, but you can start with this book and catch up on the others later. Why? Vivid descriptions immerse a reader in the ranch’s events. This is an addictive, engrossing read that I just could not stop reading. I felt like I was walking up the stairs to Heaven, alongside Cara and the guys! Oh, so spicy and absolutely amazing!

Cara is easy to connect with because of her emotional transparency and naïvety of this world. I appreciated her desire to push past her hesitancy and embrace the new experiences with an open mind. The relationships she forms with Dayne and Heath are both passionate and tender, while the balanced portrayal of both MM and MMF aspects of the relationship, and the fulfillment each member found within it, was outstanding. I finished this in record time, each chapter more entertaining than the last.

I love the way I can lose myself in these pages, and this is escapism at its very best. I highly recommend this author and this series, and cannot wait for my next visit to the ranch. Fortunate to receive an ARC (thank you), I happily leave my review.

Fantasy to Reality

Cara is a librarian who knows only what she's read in her books to finding & booking a reservation for an adult only ranch near her so she can to explore the lifestyle & feeling completely out of place only to find not one but two hunks to help show, recommend, push boundaries and give her more orgasms than she's ever had before was like a dream. Heath wanted to get away from work so doing an adult resort only four hours away. Upon his arrival he was invited for a lake side orgy. Dayne is always happy he has his own personal playground with no personal commitments. Until Cara bumps into Dayne only to watch Heath. To watch the way these 3 work together is an absolute thriller. watching Dayne fall is epic, Heath getting over what his ex wife did to him & Cara finally being able to have an orgasm & truly enjoy her sex life is overstimulation. Great book and can't wait for the rest of the series.

I have been looking forward to reading Dayne's story. I just knew he was going to be an interesting character from Undone. Cara, Heath and Dayne each had their own hangups that they had to overcome for their relationship to work. Reading how they each got over their issues was an adventure you wanted to continue reading to see what was going to happen next. I really loved how Cara seem to bloom with confidence in herself and the trust she had in Heath and Dayne.

This is really a fantastic series and I can't wait to see what's ahead at Double D Ranch. Double D Ranch is a smoking hot series and a real page turner. Jeannie never disappoints with her escapades and if you enjoy MMF story lines this series is for you.
I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Unfulfilling might be the best way to describe Cara’s personal relationships and she has decided that it is time to decide what will truly make her happy and it begins at Double D Ranch. When she meets one of the owners the sparks fly not only with him but Heath as well.

Dayne is very different from any woman he has ever known, and he is intrigued by both her innocence and her willingness to explore new experiences. Heath is a man who was looking for a respite from the stresses of his life but when he meets Dayne and Cara he finds much more than a good time.

Heath, Dayne and Cara are perfect for each other both when it comes to the heat between them and the way that even though they are very different they find the perfect balance in each other and an unexpected love that is worth fighting for.

Spicy and Fun

This was such a fun read. Loved the concept and enjoyed the relationships. This is a spicy MMF romance that takes place at an adult ranch/resort. If you’re looking for a great escape read that will get you hot under the collar and rooting for the HEA this is the one. I loved the care and respect shown between the characters and loved the story of them falling for one another. Both Dayne and Heath were swoon worthy not only with themselves, but with Cara. They created such a great loving relationship. I enjoyed reading about the variety of fun they participated in and that that no one yucked someone’s yum. Everything was done respectfully and consent was heavily talked about throughout the story. I loved the progression of everyone falling in love and the HEA made my heart so happy. If you like spicy MMF this is a solid 5 stars.

Cara finds herself at Double D to get herself out of her comfort zone and hopefully restart her horrible love life. Honestly, can relate to how uncomfortable she felt but how badly she wanted to join. Then she meets Dayne. The part owner of the sex ranch and he uses it as his own raunchy playground. And Dayne decides he wants to see what she wants to do. But before he gets started, they watch Heath in action and decide to invite him for their week of discovery.
This had potential but so very insular. It was annoying that the outside world never gets involved. Cara & Heath go home but Dayne never leaves. And there is all the stress that Heath can work from anywhere and Dayne is the CFO. Cara is the only one who can’t work remotely because she’s a librarian. Why couldn’t they all move in with her? Why couldn’t they visit the ranch?
Sexy times were ok.

Once again, we have reaped the benefit of a book filled with a wonderful cast of characters, steamy chemistry, passion, and a story line that leaves you wanting more! Sweet innocent Cara had no clue what to expect when she decided to visit the Double D Ranch and was definitely out of her element. Watching Cara blossom under Dayne and Heath’s care and the progression of their relationship was so fulfilling. Ms. St. James has an uncanny ability that is unparalleled when it comes to her writing style. It is captivating and all consuming, and you feel the emotions of each character. Add in the humor and wit, and it makes for a wonderful story!!

Jeanne has given us another amazing story!!! Double D Ranch is growing and the couples are getting even hotter!!!
Cara may feel completely out of place, but she is exactly where she needs to be. In steps Dayne and then Heath and the fireworks ignite. Their connection and their passion are completely unmatched. The guys don't just have patience for Cara, they have an overwhelming ability to help her learn what she truly wants. And add the passion between Heath and Dayne....dam!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are absolutely no words to say how much I love this book!!! Thank you again Jeanne St. James for another fabulous MMF story. Cannot wait to meet who is next on this Ranch.

Well, book two is just as awesome as book one in this series. This read was different in that the characters are coming to each other new, they did not know each other, and that changes the dynamic, or what needs to be built to create an ever expanding relationship. Dayne was quite full of himself but open to anything. Heath has more experience but also knows what he wants. Cara is an open book, or really that's what Dayne is, an open book with blank pages! A great description, a rose bud, waiting to open. Levity and seriousness on the same page, "clean up in aisle five" and "home". Loved that in this book.

Dayne, Heath and Cara were beautiful together. Dayne was not looking for love, but he certainly found his perfect matches with Heath and Cara. Cara had no idea what to expect when she took a chance on her trip to the Double D Ranch but bumping into Dayne proved to be the start of something very special. I loved how Heath and Dayne helped Cara explore and broaden her horizons and how the arrangement helped Heath heal from his failed marriage and Cara from her bad relationship. Seeing the unselfish way they loved each other and worked to make their relationship be successful was so heartwarming.

Holy Moly! This book is smokin hot! I loved Cara’s timidness around steamy time but she isn’t a pushover. She was strong & didn’t just roll over and follow whatever the guys wanted to do. Her strong personality meshed well with Dayne & Heath. As usual Jeanne St. James writes another one I couldn’t put down! She always leaves me wanting more but so satisfied from the story I just finished. You can read this one as a stand alone but I highly recommend starting with book 1 to get the whole experience! Looking forward to the next one!

This second in the Double D Resort series proves to be another in St. James' excellent stories. Here we follow the innocent but curious Cara to the ranch and hold her hand while Dayne tries to decide why he is so taken with this inexperienced woman and why he feels the need to control Heath's dealings with Cara. And why is he so taken with the two of them that he no longer enjoys the personal playground his twin and he developed? He comes to recognize that he needs Cara and Heath to leave their homes and move in with him! How will he manage that? Can't wait for the next Double D release!

I am so ready to pack my bags and head to the Double D Ranch!

This is the second book and it packs the heat and then some! It’s non stop and you’ll definitely need some ice water and batteries!!

There is so much more than just playing! The emotions that are uncovered will have you swooning and sitting on the edge of your seat. Watching walls come down, inhibitions fading and self confidence building is a beautiful thing to watch. Such a great balance of heat and emotion. Loved it!!!

Definitely a must read!

take the journey with them - it’s worth it!

This book is all about open eyes and experiencing new things. While the setting is at the Double D Ranch BDSM playground, giving this book plenty of spicy scenes, Jeanne manages to capture a deeper connection with these characters through their interactions. Cara having an open mind and willing to try new things, Dayne offering to share his world yet experiencing it all like it’s the first time - seeing his world through fresh eyes opens his heart, and Heath being open to connect deeply again…this book is so much more!

Did not like the ending

I do not like the ending to this book. Despite all their talk about being considerate of what the MFC wants, in the end, the MMC‘s basically declare their love for each other when she’s not around and then barely tell her they love her as well. They’ve made all these plans without her as if she’s an expendable part of the relationship. this does not bode well, considering she’s had little support in past relationships. The ending felt rushed and more about the men than the three of them together.

What do you expect from a Jeanne St James book but the best and she certainly delivered with this book! I could not put it down. This is the second book in the series and it is off to a great start. Dayne, Cara, and Heath have explosive chemistry whether it’s all three of them together or just the two of them. Amazing sexy times in this book.
I highly recommend reading this book. I already can’t wait for the next book it the series.

It only takes one interaction between Cara, Dayne and Heath to form a connection that will blow your mind and leave you breathless. This is one of those books that you will not be able to put down and at the end you will need to add a little spice into your own life. Jeanne St. James created the perfect combination of characters, storyline and steam to lock the reader in and hold onto their hearts and their inhibitions until the very end. Loved it!!

Wow, holy hotness! This was a great story with wonderful characters I absolutely loved. Seeing Cara embrace this side of herself and how amazing Dayne and Heath are with her ... way to make a girl jealous! This is a fun, "adventurous" series. The characters have all been great, but I LOVE Cara! I cant wait for the next adventure at the Double D. JSJ takes us on another amazing journey!

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Yes three wow's. I loved everything about this triad. I loved how different they are from each other. I loved how they are in different places in their lives. I loved how they came together in their passion for each other.
Cara, Heath and Dayne explore as a triad. Cara' innocence makes the two men's experience invaluable to her and a challenge to them. To teach her all that is possible makes them grow in ways they never imagined.

Cara's steamy journey takes some interesting twists and turns while at the Double D Resort. Cara is at the resort to "find herself" and ends up meeting and falling for two men. Dayne and Heath are the perfect men to help Cara, and they had a lot of fun along the way too. The story is ott steamy and the characters are perfect for each other. Unbridled is book two and a steamy addition to the Double D Ranch series. I can't wait to read the next book.

Loved this!!

I loved this story of Dayne, Heath and Cara!! Dayne is enjoying the single life of the Double D Ranch. Then he meets Cara then Heath. They spend the week at better and then go their separate ways. Dayne can't get them out of his mind and has no interest in anyone else. He thinks he's broken. I love how this story moves forward. I love these three together! I love this book and series. I highly recommend! I can't wait for Cam's story!

Unbridled (Double D Ranch Book 2) author Jeanne St. James

This book was hot, hot, hot! I loved it so much I couldn't put it down, reading into the night not getting enough sleep until finishing the story. The sex and emotions, the hot idea of a ranch like this and falling in love. It just set me on fire for sure. To daydream of going to a resort of such and meeting hot guys like Heath and Dayne would be amazing. Yes, dream on...

" Freedom feels worthless of you aren't with the people you love." Dayne's realization of just how deep his feelings go for Heath and Cara came as a complete shock to him. He struggled with the change from his footloose ways into a triad relationship. But it wasn't until he asked for a more permanent that he really considered the importance of love and desire in the long term.

Caught my imagination!

I really loved this story. It was just a sweet telling of how these 3 people fell in love. Im all for an over the top angsty story, but there really wasn't any of that. Just normal love, doubts, and reassurance. It almost seemed as if it could have been taken from real life. (Too bad there isn't a real Double D ranch.) It was perfect!

good read

Wasn’t sure of Dylan’s twin in the first book and he certainly had a very open mind towards sex but seemed very cavalier about his revolving door. Heath i adored, what you saw is what you got. Cara was naive which was okay but having gotten into the relationship with the guys her slow slow approach to everything got a tad annoying. Liked the book.
