Vulnerable widow Grace Holbein faces an uncertain future. Spurned by the town of Deadwood because of her violent late husband’s troubles she’s all alone in the world. With winter approaching the future looks bleak until two rugged cowboys ride up to her ranch looking for work in return for room and board. Grace is wary of these handsome strangers; in her experience men are not to be trusted. However, Matt, fair and athletic, and Blake, dark and ruggedly handsome, are keen to prove to Grace that not all men are alike. The attention she receives from them both thaws her frozen heart and melts her inhibitions; she would welcome either one to warm her bed, but it’s a choice she finds impossible to make. In her dreams she’s allowed them both, but can her brazen desires ever be fulfilled in reality?
Another enjoyable western short by Wishlade that has bundles of the Sex Factor. Can poor Grace overcome the violent past she has suffered, at the hands of her brutal late husband? Perhaps so, she thinks, when two hot cowboys, Matt and Blake arrive, looking for work. Soon she embarks on a most unexpected sensual journey. A great erotic read that's well-written and hard to put down.
1.5 stars. A little more than 1 because I’m a sucker for a decent happy ending. But so many things I didn’t like about this book. Most problematic for me was that outside of attraction I didn’t get to see the characters fall in love. They don’t have to do a major drama and overcome, but they do need to fall in love on screen. Not 1 month later and they are in love!!! Agh. I can’t. Also the title of the book has something about scandal and there were none! Boo
Although this is Book 3 in the series, it is a standalone story. All 3 books are set in or around Deadwood and that is the only link. So the books can be read in any order.
I absolutely loved this story, Blake and Matt are perfect cowboy heroes. Rugged, strong but sweet, respectful, kind and protective towards Grace. I fell for them both instantly.
Grace has had a a horrible past and not only does she bear the physical scars but the emotional and mental scars too. This is dealt with sensitively and is very well written. She desperately tries to protect herself whilst hopelessly falling in love with Matt and Blake at the same time. They are the perfect antidote to her haunting past with their tenderness and concern. They have been hurt in the past too and they needed Grace as much as she needed them. The passion between the three of them is just flawless. A fantastic sexy read
I read Bound by Molly Ann Wishlade and really enjoyed it, this is the third book in the series and each book features different characters. This is a great story filled with emotions and characters that each have suffered heartache and despair.
Grace, Matt, and Blake are all vulnerable, can they find security in each other?
Grab this book if you are looking for emotional depth that pushes beyond lust and desire yet still brings plenty of heat in a loving connection.
Starting this book I'd been expecting some hot but simple, run-of-the-mill cowboy porn, but I got extremely pleasantly surprised by the actual depth of this story. It's not long, but the character development is satisfying, and the emotions definitely ring true. I loved the fact that the men were an actual couple, and that I got to read about poly relationships instead of just threesomes.
