[Menage and More Erotic Alternative Cowboy Menage a Trois Romance, M/M/M, HEA] When Jake Campbell lands his dream job as ranch-hand in training at the Striker Ranch, more than one dream comes true for the handsome young cowboy. Jake has never told anyone that he's gay, but the powerful physical attraction that he feels for the foreman, Jackson Stone, and his right-hand man, Nate O'Connell, leave no doubt in his mind that handsome, muscular men do it for him. They're probably both straight though, I mean, most guys are, right? Jake decides, better to keep his desires to himself, than risk being rejected, ridiculed, or worse. So, he keeps his mouth shut and waits. He doesn't have to wait long as Jackson makes his own desires known at the first opportunity. Thrilled to learn that Jackson and Nate are together and that they both want him to join them, he eagerly embarks on his first sexual adventure. How can they build something more when trouble keeps coming their way? ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Oh my goodness, but did I love "Jake"! I've never read anything by Bea LaRocca before, and boy have I been missing out! Everything about this book pleased me. The characters were very real, and they were well fleshed out. The plot was smooth and flowed naturally. It was the perfect lengh to get to know all of the main characters and some background ones, but it wasn't drawn out, and at no point were there any lapses.
Jake comes to work on the Striker Ranch. He's a youngster, and the only thing he really knows about himself is that he wants to work with horses. This is really a dream job for him. He finds himself attracted to the ranch foreman, Jackson, and the foreman's second in command, Nate. He doesn't really know what to do, but soon, Jackson helps him figure it all out. These boys are everything that I love about menage manlove. They're all sweet, kind, hard working, and sexy. They're also very HOT, and their scenes together are on fire, whether it's Jackson and Jake, Nate and Jake, Jackson and Nate, or all three of them coming together, they just take your breath away.
Of course, sex isn't the whole story. I don't want to give too much away, but I can tell you that, in "Jake" there is some conflict, a bit of mystery and action, plus a little family drama thrown in. I mentioned background characters, and they all have a place. There isn't just a whole bunch of ranchers coming and going. Each one plays an important part, and it's obvious that Ms. LaRocca is setting up for at least one sequel. However, that never gets in the way of Jake, Jackson, and Nate's relationship.
I really, REALLY enjoyed this one. It was nearly pitch perfect. I couldn't find anything that I didn't like. I can't recommend this "Jake" enough.

Jackson and Nate had been a couple for years. They had a live in lover before but it didn’t work out. Now Jake was new to the ranch and had piqued the interest of both Jackson and Nate. Once Jackson and Nate had paid attention closely for any signs of any mutual attraction coming from Jake, they made their move.
Jake had a very rough childhood. Once he was out on his own, he found a job working at a ranch. When the other ranch hands went out for a night of drinking, he would stay behind because his interests were different from theirs. Still a virgin, he realized he was attracted to men. Both Jackson and Nate had caught his eye but he could only dream of them not knowing if they were straight or not. Then one night, all his fantasies came true when he got to be with both of them.
When Jackson asks Jake to move in with him and Nate, he accepts. One particular person on the ranch is not happy about it and causes a lot of trouble even after he is fired. To add to that, tragedy strikes the ranch. Will all the forces against them break them or make the growing bond between Jackson, Nate, and Jake even stronger? Read to find out!
This book melted my kindle because it was so hot! Jake’s transformation from innocent and shy to relaxed and comfortable was truly amazing to read. Nate…I love that man. Cocky and sexy and playful. Jackson shared a dark past like Jake and was the more serious of the three but was still just as lovable and sexy. I could not put the book down once I got started. It was well written. I highly recommend this book. Go 1-click today! I can’t wait for more of the series!

I loved this!!! I mean loved and adored it.
Firstly, I've got to say my love for Jackson knows no bounds! He's one sexy alpha cowboy :)
I also liked Nate and Jake a whole lot. The book starts at a galloping (scuse the pun) pace and jumps right into their story. This is a m/m/m romance, so I don't think I'm giving away any spoilers when I say it is about how these men come together and work their way towards being together.
The opening scene is very hot - which kind of sets the tone for the book. There's a lot of hot sex going on in here. Very well written hot sex, I have to add. Which brings me to another like about this book. It's extremely well written. The author has a great style and grabs hold of you from the very start. But there is much more than just sex. There's a great plot too, which really holds the book together and makes for a nail biting read at times.
There's some angst here, and difficult times for the guys, and they have past issues that still affect them to this day. I really liked how the author handled the men's pasts and showed the way the results still linger for them.
This one is going right to the top of my favorites pile! It will be a read again for me.

Jake Campbell is a 21 year old ranch hand and has never been kissed or touched by a male or female. Working on Striker Ranch he is surrounded by sexy men, two in particular. Coming from a traumatic childhood home will he get over his past and welcome his future?
Jackson Stone and Nate O’Connell have both had their eye on the new hire since he came to work at the ranch. They were cautious in the beginning, but when they knew Jake was interested in them, they held nothing back.
Everything is going fine with the three lovers until Jackson needs to move one of the hands into his home to make room for two new ranch hands. When the other workers find out that Jake would be moving, they could all are less except for one. He’s out for blood.
These three men together are explosive in and out of the bedroom. With Jake being a virgin it lets Jackson and Nate open him to new experiences, but everything is not peachy between the three lovers. When it comes to Jake, Jackson and Nate are very protective of him because of his childhood. Jake wants to show them, mainly Jackson, that he can take care of himself, but one or both of them steps in to save him at every turn. When Jake thinks they have come to common ground Jackson steps over the line and him and Nate are keeping things away from him that effects all of them. When Jake finds out he is hurt beyond belief and says some mean things to Jackson, only to have him injured that same day. Jake doesn’t know which way is up and he only wants for Jackson to live. Can these three men overcome everything that is thrown at them? You will have to read the book to see.
I really loved the way the MC’s interacted with each other, how they came to fall in love and learn new things about each other. There are a couple of things I didn’t like, but it didn’t stop my overall enjoyment of the book. I felt that Nate and Jake spent more time together than Jake and Jackson and I would have loved to read about just the two of them together. The stuttering, I get why she wrote the words like she did to portray the stuttering, but it drove me crazy, but like I said it wasn’t enough to make me put the book down. I actually finished reading it at 1 a.m. the same day I got it. That’s how much I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next book. I already know who I want to read about, but if they don’t come until later I will continue to read the series.

great start to a great series!
i liked that the book just jumped right into their story. nate and jackson are an established couple and jake has been working for them for a while so we don't have the introductory build up. the opening scene is a HOT start!
i fell in love with jake in that opening scene. he's never had a sexual experience and has always known he likes men. he had a horrible childhood and is basically alone in the world. he is looking for not just a sexual relationship but an emotional relationship that he's never had...he just wants to be loved. his speech impediment is adorable. he seems shy but when he starts to feel comfortable around nate and jackson you see that he's not as shy as you first think. throughout the book he really comes into his own and becomes a confident, strong man.
nate is the fun loving, funny, raised in a fantastic big family, life of the party kind of guy. he is more than happy to show jake the ropes in the relationship. while he likes to joke around and tease, when it comes to his men he has a fierce, protective side and loves with his whole being.
jackson is the serious, responsible one of the group. he also had a terrible upbringing and has a strained relationship with his brother because of that. he is sensitive and has a sweet heart. sometimes his protectiveness of his men aggravates them but he feels like his is responsible for protecting them all.
the 3 men balance each other well and make a great complete package. my only complaint would be i'd like to see a little more day-to-day affection among the trio...even if subtle - small kisses, hugs, hand squeezes, etc. not necessarily while they are at work in front of the other guys but even while in their house together...it didn't seem any of them were overly affectionate. doesn't take away from the story, i just would have like to see more of that...make them seem more loving toward each other.
there is a bit of foreshadowing for possible future books in the series...caleb and jesse, rob and brian with someone and maybe a bit more of this great trio. i can't wait to read more!

Jake ist das Greenhorn auf der Striker Ranch und noch ziemlich unbedarft. Noch stolpert er ungeküsst und jungfräulich durchs Leben. Doch ist er dem Vormann Jackson und dessen Partner Nate aufgefallen. Die Männer die schon eine jahrelange Beziehung führen, fühlen sich von dem jüngeren Mann angezogen und auch Jake findet beide Männer faszinierend. Schon fast klischeehaft verliert der junge Jake ausgerechnet in einem Heuschober seine Unschuld. Und das gleich an beide Männer.
Jackson und Nate leben ihre Homosexualität nicht offen aus, doch längst gibt es Tratsch auf der Ranch. Schliesslich lebt Nate auch in Jacksons Haus, das ihm als Vorarbeiter zusteht. Als jedoch auch Jake in das Haus ziehen soll, da weitere Ranchhelfer in das Gemeinschaftshaus ziehen, eskaliert die Situation unter den Arbeitern. Und einer der Männer wird darauf von Jackson gefeuert. Dies wird jedoch noch zu großen Problemen führen.
Diese Geschichte ist mehr, als sie auf den ersten Blick scheint. Natürlich darf man sich bei der Geschichte von Jackson, Jake und Nate jetzt keinen tiefgreifenden Plot erwarten. Die Geschichte ist witzig und unterhaltsam geschrieben, bekommt durch Jacksons und Jakes Vergangenheit auch einen ernsten Touch. So werden auch Themen wie Mobbing, Tod, Mißhandlung und Gewalt behandelt.
Während Jackson doch abgeklärt und in sich ruhend beschrieben wird, ist Nate ziemlich temperamentvoll und beschützend. Dies passt Jake nicht immer, da er sich oft in die Rolle eines Kindes gedrängt fühlt. Auch Jackson hat Tendenzen den deutlich jüngeren Jake zu beschützen, doch dieser wird sie am Ende des Buches noch alle überraschen.
Ganz perfekt ist die Geschichte nicht, obwohl die Protagonisten ziemlich gut beschrieben und herausgearbeitet wurden. Dabei ist Nate jedoch ein wenig ins Hintertreffen geraten. Über ihn hätte ich gern noch etwas mehr erfahren. Trotzdem kann ich das Buch jedem empfehlen, der sich auf so eine Menage einlassen möchte und auf Cowboys steht. ;)

Wanting to find something else to occupy my free time besides my writing in August 2014 I decided to become a Book Reviewer. When I started reviewing books, being the person I am, I would shy away from reading all erotic romance novels, especially those which are considered to be GLBT. But now I’m opened to reading/reviewing any and all genres.
Jake by Bea LaRocca is the first truly manage-a-trois involving three males I’ve read. One of these three males, Jake, is a true virgin—a virgin who’s never been even kissed by a female or male.
Jake hasn’t told anyone he considers himself to be gay, however that changes the moment he takes a job as ranch-hand in training at the Striker Ranch. It is there Jake’s true self begins to surface the moment he sees the ranch boss Jackson, and his main honcho Nate; and senses a deep physical attraction towards both of them he can’t really explain.
As in any manage-a-trois, Ms. LaRocca made sure sex played an extremely important part her storyline. But instead of merely having these sex scenes involving an empty shell of characters, she has also allowed for the character development of her three main characters, making sure they become real in her readers minds. And to hold everything together as someone reads “Jake” she threw in some drama and mystery.
For helping me expand my reach of genres to read/review and for having written a story which moves in an enjoyable, cohesive manner I’m giving Ms. LaRocca 5 STARS.
I received a e-book copy of this book during the 2nd week of The Romance Reviews Year End Splash Party and the above has been my honest opinion.

Suspense, passionate sex, dedicated cowboys and lots of heart.
Easy reading novel with a little suspense (Crazy Kansas weather—eeek! Crazy vengeful man—double eeeek!), a good dose of erotica (hot, hot, hot), and a heaping helping of gay romance (three men with love to spare).
One of the best things about this story was the cast of characters. Bea gives just enough details about each that you can imagine them clearly, but she doesn’t spoon feed it to the reader. I enjoyed the main character Jake, but Jackson Stone…he stole my heart. The way he connected emotionally to Jake was written beautifully. Then there were the extra cast of characters on the ranch…and characters they were. One of my favorite conversations is between Jake and Rob, it’s so touching and yet, I giggled at the topic that bonded the two of them.
Took me just a couple chapters to get used to how Jake’s dialogue is written, but when I just let the dialogue flow, the character’s speech patterns added so richly to Jake’s innocence and personality, I couldn’t imagine him without it. I would have loved to have had a little more of the crazy man, Will, but even as is the storyline held me and I devoured the last ½ of the book and didn’t realize it was the middle of the night when I had finished.
I suggest this novel to those who like erotic romance with suspense, passionate sex scenes, dedicated cowboys, and lots of heart.
Lastly, I’m hoping Ms. LaRocca has plans for #2 in the series in the works cause I’m ready!

Jake is the only book by Bea Larocca. This book was amazing and can’t wait to read more by her. I read Jake in one sitting I just couldn’t put it down, I completely ignored my phone and children. To sum it all up I loved it.
The first scene is unbelievable no this book didn’t start off slow at all. It got your attention and held it was the very beginning. I fell in love with Jake almost immediately. He is shy and has an innocence’s that is so charming. Let’s not forget about his adorable stutter because he is nervous or turned on. Once he got to know Jackson and Nate they changed all that and made him comfortable and confident in himself. The three of them had this love that was genuine, unconditional, raw, and soul deep.
Nate and Jackson also shared and love that would simply make you drool. I was drawn to them because they had a nature love. They believed in each other and had a trust that you could only dream of. If you love sexy love scenes this book had quite a few. They will leave you hot and bothered. What I loved most was they were filled with emotion, tenderness and a true connection between the three of them. This book was really awesome. Keep up the good work Bea LA Rocca.

Have you ever started a book and felt like you were starting in the middle of something? That was the case with me and this book. It started off with a huge bang, but I just couldn’t stop feeling like there was so much that I was missing, and it threw me off for the first few chapters.
Now, even with taking that into consideration, I have to say that I did still enjoy the story. I haven’t actually read a lot of MMM books, but I was pleased with how this one played out. I thought it had a great balance between sexy-times and action. Which kept the story going for me personally. I also feel like Ms. LaRocca did a great job at making all of the characters completely different, yet they were still able to work together as a trio. That did make that part of the story more believable for me personally.
Overall, I did enjoy this book and I will be sure to look for more in the series in the future!

Kinky in Kansas starts off with Jake by Bea LaRocca. This book starts off pretty steamy and keeps that momentum going throughout the book.
Jake is a virgin. He has not told anyone he is gay. He is pretty sure the other ranchers would not appreciate his sexual preference. He desperately wants the ranch foreman Jackson. He also finds himself attracted to Nate.
Jackson is calm and steady. Makes Jake feel grounded even the worse situations.
Nate was the first to take Jake under his wing. He is welcoming and just a really nice guy.
I found myself wanting to know much more about the ranch and the people that live there. I liked the pace of this story kept me turning the pages. I wish there was a tiny bit more build up before the sex. But over all this is a fast paced good read. I would love to meet more people and learn more about the town. I cannot wait for the next Kinky in Kansas book and find out who falls in love next.

I loved this book! Jake is young and not knowledgeable in what he wants or the things he feels. Getting the job of his young dreams then leads him to come to terms with who and what he is. His feeling for his two bosses put him at odds with some of the crew. Jackson and Nate have been together for years but they together feel like something or someone is missing. Can the men overcome the odds and find true love with each other. This book is a sexy HOT read and I can't wait till to read more from this author and this series we meet a few people that I hope they get their stories brought to life in their own books! I was giving this book to read for an honest review!

Through about half of this book I just "liked" it but as I kept reading I began to really like it more and more. Their story was really quite well written. Jake is really a sweetheart and wears his heart on his sleeve. You can see his growth from the beginning of the book to the end. And even Jackson and Nate you can see how they change, how they allow their relationship to evolve and include Jake. I honestly expected more sex in the book so I was a little disappointed and I would have liked a bit more description of the sex scenes. All in all it was great and Bea I am really excited that there is another one coming out.

Sorry thought I left a review.
What's hotter than a cowboy? 3 sexy cowboys. Nate, Jake and jackson were perfection. Sweet, hard, kinky, loving, challenging, thoughtful and omg smoking hot!!!! Jackson....hot dayum. I love how these 2 men took on Jake, knowing he had a hard life, innocent, and all Jake wanted was to be loved for who he was. Not just a plaything. Jackson and nate see this and this beautiful story comes to life
This was fantastic and I can not wait for more

He catches the eyes of Nate and Jackson and is immediately pulled into a loving, steamy and hot relationship with the two men. great book and it is worth the read!!

I really enjoyed this book. I have never read anything by Bea LaRocca and this was the right one to start with. There are cute scenes, sexy scenes as well as angst and drama. The secondary characters were fleshed out without taking away anything from the main characters/stories. I can't wait to see what the next Kinky in Kansas will bring.

I loved all three of these incredible men. They fit together so well, and complement each other's strengths. Wonderful start to a new series that I I want more of!
Honest, sweet and all out crazy passion. Jake is a dream come true for these two cowboys as they are for him.

Good read for one afternoon
This is a good read for your average run of the mill gay romance novel. The usual secret crush when then get together few trials and tribulations. The villain gets caught and the men live happily after. Good in that sex believable and fit the story line even if it started with hokey romp in the hay(how original cowboys getting it on in the hay mow). Better than those books that consist of blow by blow account of various pornographic sex.
A good fast read when you need to relax your body and numb your mind.

2.5 Starts out looking like erotica, but tames to mostly quick, not-very-explicit sex scenes. The main characters were sweet, good guys. Some of the secondary characters drew my attention, so I will likely read the next in the series, if it features one of them.
Side note: Some have this marked as BDSM. It doesn't have any.

Hmm mixed feelings ... A little too "instant" for me. Still not totally bad. I feel like the relationships and easy to like characters helped make an almost mediocre book and overdone trope, palatable.

Not enough steam for me. A little bland. The story line was to slow pace for me.

More of a 2.5 for me, but just because it's a little sweet for my tastes. There's not a ton of smexy action, which is disappointing for a threesome, but it's okay nevertheless.
