Violet Tyler's heart was broken after discovering she was the third wheel in her big-city menage. Relegating the idea of being loved by two or more men to fantasy material, she throws her heart and soul into her business, Violet's Emporium.

Watching from the sidelines while they renovate her emporium, Josh and Lucas Abbott want her more every day and see the way her former lover chips away at her heart each time he pays her a visit. They've stretched out the renovation as long as they can and finally it's time to claim her or let her go.

Invitations to a fantasy weekend at Hazelle House give the three of them a no-strings-attached chance to make her lumberjack menage fantasies a reality. But when the weekend is over and the real world - and her former lover - come calling, can her menage fantasy live in the light of day? ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Heather Rainier

45 books530 followers
Heather Rainier lives and writes in South Central Texas. Her stories offer up the content of her fantasies, with humor, tragedy, and triumph mixed in.

Heather's love of romance fiction began as a teenager when her mom gave her copies of Kathleen Woodiwiss's "The Flame and the Flower" and Bertrice Small's "Skye O'Malley". To this day she's pretty sure that was her mom's version of the "birds and the bees" talk.

Heather writes the type of novel she loves to read: More erotic and edgy than the mainstream, with plenty of sweet romance mixed in and a happily ever after guaranteed. Heather's favorite type of hero is the gentle, lovable giant but readers will discover a wide variety of heroes and alphas on the pages of her novels.

When not at her keyboard, Heather is usually busy corralling her teenagers, or loving on her smokin' hot husband, who thankfully loves to cook.

Heather invites readers to e-mail her at heather.rainier@yahoo.com and also to visit her website at www.heatherrainier.com

I adored Violet's story. And that fantasy weekend was definitely an amazing one! That was a really delicious capture fantasy scene as well. I love how Josh and Lucas took care of her.

Lucas’s heart soared as her high-pitched laugh filled the forest and she ran down the path, but not before she turned back to frown at the strange lumberjacks, as if she was willing them to hit the road. Her eyes bugged when they all set out after her, and she nearly ran into an oak tree before correcting her course and disappearing around another curve in the path.

One of the other lumberjacks laughed and hollered, “Maybe the one who catches her fucks her first and gets to keep her to himself!”

They all gave chase as her strident voice echoed through the dense foliage. “Fuck yourself, you lumberjack dickweed!”

He didn’t even attempt to hold back his lusty laughter and sped off after her as she squealed in response.


I am looking forward to Joseph's story as Bunny seems to be quite a firecracker. She'll definitely be keeping him on his toes for sure ;) I do hope the four men, Gabriel, Greg, Roland and Carter get their own story (and maybe move to divine and complete their little menage). They seem to be amazing men and I adored the little glimpse of their personalities. Definitely keepers.

“You don’t worry about that, little bunny. Just get comfy.”

Biting her lip, she glanced up and caught the other men watching her avidly, and she smiled at them as she snuggled against Gabriel’s chest. He smelled nice. Nothing like her men, but not unpleasant. Because of his part in making her morning so hot and enjoyable, she felt inclined to please him, so she cuddled to him and then gave him a squeeze and a soft purring sound.


The story focuses mainly on the fantasy weekend and how Josh, Lucas and Violet's relationship unfolds and grows. Violet slowly comes out of her shell under Josh and Lucas loving, and with that emerges her sparking attitude. She is also adorable, giggly and chatty while drunk.

“What were you talking to Joseph about? Wait. You conspired with him about this morning’s costume, I’m sure. What wouldn’t you talk to him about?” she muttered, scowling at him as she crossed her arms under her lush breasts. Her taut nipples were visible through the thin fabric of her robe, and he had to force himself to focus on her eyes before she really did stuff the butt plug up his nose.

Not much action or drama but the steam is hot as ever! Heather Rainier writes one of the best (and kinkiest) scenes. Though I felt this one wasn't as explosive as compared to Charity's book. I like how Heather teases us with glimpses of the other characters, getting us intrigue and wanting to know more about them. Definitely an amazing read.

Josh chuckled as Violet held out her arms to him from the passenger seat of his truck. He meant to lift her down to the concrete driveway, but she had other ideas as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist once they were clear of the vehicle. Lucas took her keys, grinning and shaking his head at her antics as he let them into her house.

“Mmm,” she murmured as she nuzzled his throat. She lapped at his earlobe and he got even harder, thanks to the way she was rubbing against his dick. “You smell yummy, Josh.”

“But it’s you we want to eat up, baby girl. I’m not sure you’re in any shape to fool around though.”

Violet Tyler is looking for a new start in a new town with a new outlook on love after a menage relationship that she thought would go the distance, didn't. Nope, Violet is now strictly a one man woman sort of girl, even if Josh and Lucas Abbott, contractors for her new business, leave her with perpetual wet panties and eye strain from staring at their butts.

Josh and Lucas, brothers, has always known that they'll share one woman when it comes time to settle down and do the whole matrimony/kid thing. Violet Tyler is definitely their top contender for the job if they could only get her to open her horizons to the possibility of menage. So far though, no luck and their luck is running out as they've stretched her business's renovations to the limit.

Lady luck must be shining on them though when Violet, Josh, & Lucas independently receive invites to an exclusive fantasy weekend at Hazelle House, the local BDSM club, hosted by Joseph Hazelle. Little does Violet know that the brothers have been listening to Violet's fantasies and are ready, willing, and able to fulfill her love and fantasy of plaid.

* * *

I've read the majority of this series with a recent opinion that the series has run it's course and lacks any originality or sustainability. With this installment I do have to say that I've changed my mind. Love love love that the author has infused a fresh new approach to the menage relationships in Divine. To further switch to including the local BDSM club (more of a castle) run by Joseph Hazelle .... brilliant. And yes, I can't can't can't wait for Bunny And The Beast due out Sept 25.

Adult content. OMG yes. Definitely a plus in this story as the author infuses the fantasy of a wood nymph and her woodsman into a believable scene of seduction and orgasmic satisfaction. There's also a scene or two featuring voyeuristic/exhibitionism to titillate fans of such (Me. Me. Me). Of note: there IS a hint of BDSM but I'm not tagging that as it would be deceptive as for the most part the adult content is strictly kinky erotica.

My issues. I was so on board with this installment and was debating on a four or five rating until approximate 75% part the story. It's from then on that I just wanted the story to end so I wouldn't have to experience an emotional let down from ending the story on a such a low note for me. No spoilers but rushed and disappointing come to mind as the lose ends were wrapped up way too conveniently with a best case scenario approach. Bummer.

I can't wait for Bunny And The Beast as Joseph Hazelle has the same persona as Master Z in the 'Masters Of Shadowlands' series, or Julien Lodge from the 'Texas Sirens' series. I just love when the all knowing, all powerful Doms get what's coming to them.

Another wonderful installment in the Divine Creek Ranch series.

Violet loves Divine, loves the shop she has opened there and generally loves the life she has created there. The only thing missing, is a man to call her own. She's gun-shy after the way her last relationship ended and who can blame her? Hearing that one of the two men in her life, her lovers, talking about her in a way that made her feel 2 inches tall and the other lamely trying to defend her, destroyed what self confidence she had in herself.

Even in Divine where relationships tend to be outside the norm, she doesn't feel safe in dating one person much less trying a menage' again.

Josh and Lucas Abbott have had their eyes on Violet since she first came to down, but are hestitant to ask her out again after being turned down once before. Not that they let her out of their sights very often. Lusting after her from near and far, they often find a way to be close to her, even if it is doing odd jobs at her store.

When Violet receives an invitation for a fantasy weekend, she decides to take a chance and attend. Little does she know her two admirers will be in attendance.

I LOVED this book. Ms. Rainier has written Violet in such a way that every woman can relate to her. At some time in our lives we've all struggled with body image issues, difficult break ups and trying to hold on to something you know is bad for you. The hardest thing is putting oneself out there again, of trusting another with your heart and soul, of simply taking a chance that there is someone out there will love you as much you love them.

The Abbott brothers are the right mix of strength and tenderness, of daring and traditional, of light and dark. They make a girl want to take a chance, to see the love in their eyes and take that uncertain step into the future.

Lumberjack Weekend was FREAKING HOT HOT HOT!!! I loved Joseph's mansion and the fantasy weekend was fun, sexy, and just plain DELICIOUS!! I loved getting a glimpse of Joseph and Bunny, especially since their book i s up next. Josh and Lucas were wonderful to Violet and she definitely deserved the attention and love they gave her during the Fantasy Weekend and after. This story was so much fun reading and I am SO excited about September and the next book, Bunny and The Beast! If you love your books with lots of kink, romance, love, and affection, then you will definitely be happy with Heather Rainier's Divine Creek Ranch Series.

I was worried when I read the Absent-minded Angel,but no longer. I felt the last couple of books seemed very sad and reaching for something that wasn't there. All the books had HEA, but was missing something. Well it is back. I thought Violet was a great character with a strong personality, but just a little brocken. Violet is pulling her life together she has these two studs,Lucas and Josh, waiting in the wings who would love to just love her. While we cruise through this story we meet several new characters and visit a few old. Good book! Gives me a smile and a song in my heart! :-) ♡

Lumberjack Weekend by Heather Rainier
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
WOW 21 books deep!!! I didn’t realize just how large this series is. I will say that each book in the series is a standalone so even if you haven’t read them all, like me, you are able to follow along and enjoy the story. I am sure hardcore fans who have read them all love each addition to the series and enjoy revisiting each other characters.
So the Abbott brothers, Josh and Lucas, both have their eye on one woman. The shop keeper they have been doing odd jobs for. They know she is dating someone but they are patient men waiting for her to be available…or wising she would become available.
Violet starts the story by telling her ex-boyfriend/member of her last ménage that it is O-V-E-R. She decided to take a friend, Joseph, up on a fantasy weekend. Little does she know that Joseph is playing matchmaker and invited the brothers. She has no clue and they are full on ready, willing and waiting. They want to prove to her that she is the woman for them and that ménage is the way for them three of them. When Violet shows up she is stunned that 1. They are there knowing she is going to be there and 2. They want to spend the weekend with just her!!
One of the things I loved about the brother is that they are truly invested in Violet. They know her better then she knows herself. They are there to love and cherish her so that she realizes she is better then what she had before. The scenes with the three were hot but the scene with the brothers and the 4 other lumberjacks was really hawt!! Like WOW!!
When a situation causes Violet to get mad at the brothers, she leaves to goto her shop and resolve the problem annnd then the ex comes back. I loved seeing Violet realize what she can and should have with the brothers….however her drunk at the bar later was the best scene ever!! Snickers*

Wow!! Another winner from Heather Rainier. Somewhat different in that this novella/short novel is centered around a single weekend event that introduces Violet, our brokenhearted heroine, to the reality of power exchange--mild and introductory BDSM. And the two men whose hearts she unknowingly possesses are more than ready to fulfill her fantasies and to bring her into the circle of their lives. Once again Ms Rainier uses her fictional characters to lift up genuine and caring loving, albeit in a kinky fashion, in a relationship configuration that is not acceptable to many in society. Yet it is a healing and caring love that these brothers want to give to this woman whose past experiences have scalded her spirit and broken her heart. She is also challenged to leave her past completely behind her, even though she knows that one of her former lovers still loves her -- just not enough to allow her full access to his life. Such is not the case with the Divine twosome who love her completely and want only to give her heart and life fulfillment in any way she needs it. This is a book that will once again put readers in touch with what it means to be truly cherished, no matter in what configuration or setting. And like all her books, this author never backs away from the realities that make a loving, sexy, erotic coupling satisfying and energetic. This is a book that you don't want to miss, and if readers have not read the others in this series, they really owe it to themselves to get them all. I know I am enthusiastically looking forward to all that Ms Rainier can give us.

Violet thought her deepest desires were fulfilled until she overheard a conversation that showed she was nothing other than the chick on the side. She is determined to push aside her fantasy of a fulfilling ménage relationship and put her energy into building a successful business. But Josh and Lucas have other ideas. Can they convince the skittish Violet her desires fill their needs?
In Lumberjack Weekend by Heather Rainier we return to Divine Creek. Violet thought her future was set and distance does little to sooth her wounded heart. Josh and Lucas can see the seeping wound but Violet will not let them close. I loved how patient Josh and Lucas were. It was not their natures but they were taking a long term view. I appreciated that they became Violet’s friend before they became her lovers. They gave her what she thought she wanted and hoped she would see she could have so much more. Violet’s was slowly crawling her way out of despair and I loved that both men were willing to support her and be there for her. Ms. Rainier always gives me an enjoyable read full of emotional depth and caring and this story is no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed returning to Devine Creek and look forward to seeing what she has in store for us next.

She's been there, done that; and has the tshirt -- Violet has been part of a menage relationship and has the double broken heart to show for it. And we can all relate to her as one of the exes continues to call her and play with her feelings. So no way is she going to put her heart out there again. But that doesn't mean she can't fantasize about being in a lumberjack sandwich between the two brothers renovating her store. When a no-strings "fantasy-themed" weekend retreats offers the men a chance to pursue her, the brothers pull out all the stops to make her feel loved and beautiful. Not only does the author create three distinct characters, but she also builds a world of characters at the retreat. The reader watches as Violet's wounded self-esteem is healed over the weekend, as she impacts the lives of those around her, and as a new budding romance is started. As always, the intimate moments are hot and sexy, fitting in with the storyline while allowing a story to unfold. And the cat storyline is hysterical. While this story can be read as a standalone, it is a great addition for lovers of the series.

Only made it to chapter 7

I've read all of this series but this is the first time the story was so bad I couldn't finish. I could only make it to chapter 7 before I gave up so I skipped to the epilogue and could only read 2 pages before I just had to stop. This story was not for me. I've read lots of BDSM stories, but when someone is so scared they can't even look at the people around them and they are so uncomfortable with being exposed that they are shaking and covering themselves, they are not enjoying it and are not getting turned on by it. It was painful to read. It pains me to say this, as much as I like this author, this book is not worth reading.

OMG! Thank you Heather Rainier for another beautiful story!! It was soooo worth the wait! Sometimes, I laughed so hard my family thought I had totally lost it. I loved Tex!! And other times I had to keep a Kleenex handy for the emotional parts. I love your books SO, SO much because they are put together so well. I know when I start one of your stories, I will be able to escape into my own little world and be totally entertained for hours. Awesome Job!!!

Holy Lumberjacks

This is the 21st book of this series. This series get better with every book.
I would recommend that you starting the series at the beginning.
I have read about Violet in passing in a few of the past books. I will say it was well worth the wait. Violet has had her heart broke and needs to move forward she is afraid. A friend helps her get passed it and into the arms of some lumberjack that love her very much.

I was disappointed with this one. I think the reason why is the "crew" from around Divine were absent for the most part. The book dealt with Violet's issues that she had coming out of a previous menage. I was glad that Josh and Lucas were able to make those bad feelings go away, but it made for a bit of a downer of a book. Not what I look for when reading this type of book.

Quite a disappointment, haven't read anything from this series in a while but I am used to them being as bit better than this. Just found the whole 'fantasy' weekend deal to be a bit boring and silly to be honest and didn't do anything for me.

Fantastic Read

Violet moves to Divine from Dallas to get away from negative comments about her from one of her partners - she ends up having a fantasy weekend but doesn't realize that Josh and Luke are invited too - they've all secretly been in love with each other for a year.

The story of Violet and Josh and Lucas is another amazing love story. A steamy tale that is extremely difficult to put down. Heather Rainier never disappoints.

I love the menage stories. I really enjoyed this one about fulfilling fantasies. I've had a lot of fantasies but never about a lumberjack or jacks in this case. The Abbott brothers have been lusting after Violet for awhile. Violet just ended a disastrous relationship and doesn't want another one. When Violet receives a special invitation, will she throw caution in the wind and go? Will the Abbott brothers convince her they are different from her past relationship? I sure hope Joseph gets his own story!!
