Irresistible Brothers #3
Stealing His Heart
The moment I saw that tempting spitfire I knew I was in trouble.
The way her petite little body called out to me,
All of my billions couldn’t stop me from wanting her—needing her.
Life on my ranch was simple before she came along,
Calm, ordered, boring even.
The moment we met, everything changed.
We spent every waking, passionate moment together.
I was lost in her.
Consumed by her.
But she’s got it in her head this is just a fun little distraction.
I want more—I need all of her.
My desire to own her has pushed us to the breaking point,
And I’m about to lose her...forever.
I’ll fight like hell to not only prove to her I’m the man she needs,
But the man that will protect her and our unborn baby.

A Love that Cures the Stubbornly Stupid Gene
Grandfather and Great-grandfather Gentry were ranchers—they understood that selective breeding—the manipulation of blood lines by choosing the bull and the cow, the stallion and the mare—would create a stronger stock, containing certain desired characteristics, and at least in the animal world, they were correct. But both men made serious mistakes when trying to apply those principles of selective breeding in their family—trying to control each subsequent generation’s choice of mates. You would have thought that Collin Gentry, having had his choice of whom he could love and marry blocked by a controlling, stupidly stubborn parent, and bringing such sad consequences—lifelong misery—would have allowed his son, Coy, to make his own choice of bride. But unfortunately, wisdom like love, doesn’t result from careful breeding. And to promote breeding over loving seems to result only is misery.
And so, it became clear that the Gentry brothers had inherited more than the blue of their eyes from their stupidly stubborn grandfather and great-grandfather. Rather, they inherited another surprising genetic trait that is little noted or talked about—the stubborn gene which prevents an individual from listening with the heart and head, instead being deaf to the wishes and desires, the needs and pain of others. That Gentry gene blocks all receptors of others’ need. And when the stubborn gene is enhanced by the stupid gene? Well, you can’t fix stupid, and it seemed that unfortunately, the combination of stupidly stubborn can bring heartache to both those with those genetic traits and the individuals manage to love the Gentry’s stupidly stubborn actions. And so, it was surprising that at the age of 22, Cash Gentry, the youngest and seemingly most easy going of the 3 brothers, experienced a late onset of the stupidly stubborn gene.
Jasper Gentry and his brothers, Tyrell and Cash, have always been able to claim the support of a loving family because their dad had conquered the destructive Gentry gene and had followed his heart in claiming the love of his life in defiance of his father. And now as adults, the brothers are beginning to appreciate how truly amazing the happy, normal home created by their mom and dad, is. While the boys had grown up in a simple 2-bedroom home with limited financial resources—all that their high school educated dad, as a laborer, could provide—they had always known unlimited love and affirmation.
But now, the brothers have just been informed that they—not their parents—are billionaires, the heirs of their grandfather—a hard man who had rejected his only child—their father—because the son had had the audacity to reject his father’s edict and had married his high school sweetheart, who was employed as a maid in his home, and therefore, deemed socially unacceptable. And the brothers learn that this grandfather, similarly the son of a rich and powerful Texas rancher, had also loved a local girl. But to retain his position of wealth and power, he had yielded to his family’s expectations to marry an acceptable woman of appropriate wealth and social status. So, grandfather had chosen to live a lie, keeping his true love bound to him in a known but unacknowledged, submissive relationship while maintaining a public marriage with a “socially acceptable” woman who bore him one child—the ultimately disobedient and disinherited son.
So, to claim their inheritance, the brothers had to agree to never offer any financial support to their parents, and they must run the ranching enterprise of race horses and cattle. They will continue to employ the current staff, who have served his grandfather’s needs over the years and will continue to work and live on the estate, keeping the house, grounds and ranch maintained.
Almost from the moment Cash walked into The Watering Hole, the local bar of Carthage, Texas, the town closest to the Gentry ranch, he was not able to take his eyes of the blonde-haired petite bartender, Bobbie Joe. She was smart, feisty, funny, and she could even concoct a mixed drink with all of Cash’s favorite flavors and liquors. But, she is unlike most women who learn that the Gentry brothers are rich—she is not impressed. If fact, she makes it clear that she can always use a male “friend”, but she is not interested in a “boyfriend.” And, Cash agrees completely. While his brothers have found the women of their hearts, Cash is not looking to be tied down. But the closer the two “friends” become, the more each works to keep the “friend” vibe at the forefront, ignoring the love vibe.
By the time the current generation of Gentry’s—Tyrell, Jasper and Cash—finally make their claim on the Gentry ranch and holdings, some lessons have finally been learned. Those lessons include the understanding that money can’t buy everything. It can’t buy love, happiness—those riches are the result of care and constant attention, and the understanding that the two riches often co-exist. But, the third brother, Cash, has another lesson to learn—money also can’t buy health and peace of mind.
Stealing His Heart is the third installment in the Irresistible Brothers trilogy. Each can be read as a standalone read, but each brother’s story is a unique, engaging tale worth reading! I do wish that this romance's ending offered the reader a stronger, more positive hope for a long term happily-ever-after. Perhaps an epilogue that was pushed out a greater distance from the last chapter.
I received a free copy of this book via Book Funnel and am voluntarily leaving a review and but enjoyed reading it so much that I purchased a copy through Kindle.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for a honest review.
Stealing His heart is book three in Irresistible Brothers series. Having read the first two, I've got to say I loved this story the most. Each story is a standalone romance with a happy ending. Reading all three helps you understand the complete picture but it is not required to follow. The stories are happening simultaneously with each story going along with a different brother.
Cash and Bobbie Jo start out as friends with benefits. They are hot and heavy every chance they get. Both trying to say they aren't looking for anything serious.
But things do get serious. I loved watching Cash grow up. His struggle to figure out in love you put the other person first. When he finally grasps the concept, watching him put it into play was sweet. Bobbie Jo learns to trust someone else with her heart. She is pretty confident in who she is but doesn't reach out in any true ways with anyone other than family.
My only gripe is the book Cash is described as having brown hair with curls touching his shoulders and Bobbie Jo with blonde hair. The couple on the book cover do not even remotely resemble this. I would rethink the cover models. They are pretty but do not match the story.
The story kept me reading straight through, laughing, holding my breath and teary at points. It is truly a great read with some unexpected twists. I definitely recommend.

Cash, 22, has recently inherited billions of dollars and moved to a small town in Texas. Bobbi Jo, 22, grew in that town and now manages a bar. When Bobbi Jo and Cash meet they flirt and agree to see each other as friends and have sex but neither wants love or anything serious. They both want to maintain their freedom but the like spending time together and the sex is great. Cash takes her on a trip to the east coast and she hates New York and he decides to not see her for a while because he wants to see the world and she is happy in their small town. When Bobbi Jo unexpectedly finds herself pregnant she refuses to marry Cash, insisting that she doesn’t need his help or money and she won’t change herself for him. Will Bobbi Jo and Cash be able to work out their relationship?
I thoroughly enjoyed this story about a smaller town girl and newly rich man who wanted a relationship with no commitments but were forced to make decisions about their lives. It was a well written story but it became confusing with the name changes of the brothers throughout the 3 book series. At 22 they really didn’t seem ready for all of the life changes they had to go through but they managed to succeed. I enjoyed the epilogue and just wished I could read a little more about their future.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the 3rd book in the Irresistible Brothers series. This is the last brother Cash's book and WOW. What an ending!
Cash and his brother's have just inherited the Whisper Ranch and found themselves with more money than they know what to do with. Cash has always led a simple life and just wants to find someone to have some fun with and the hot as hell bartender is just the woman he needs.
Bobbi Jo has never been a relationship kind of girl. She can't ever see herself getting married and having kids. But boy is she blindsided when Cash just won't give up and insist on being in her life and calling her pet names.
There is several twist in this book I don't want to give away. It was sooo good and then their was the tear jerker of an ending. I have loved this series.

This was such a great story! The Irresistible Brothers Series is such a good series to have in your library. I’ve always loved stories where each others’ lives are so interconnected so that you glimpse parts of them in other books. In this story, we finally find out what happens with Bobbi Jo and Cash. They have quite the explosive chemistry, and I love how they work together to ensure that they get their HEA. This novel does have some heart-breaking moments so you may need tissues!

This last book had me up all night! What a fun yet gripping story. It starts off with two independent people. They just have to get out of their way to let love in. I really liked this series. Each book is from a different brother’s perspective. And I like that they are all being released at the same time. No long waits for the next book. I will definitely be looking to see if Scarlett King and Michelle Love team up again.

Really enjoyed the third book of the series! Cash is the youngest of three brothers that inherit a ranch and billions from a grandfather they never knew. Bobby Jo is the bartender of the neighborhood bar. Neither are looking for anything serious when they start being friends with benefits - but life has its way of taking that to the next level. Really enjoyed these characters and the wrap up to the story!

An enjoyable friends with benefits romance read.
What started as friends with benefits becomes more as chemistry sizzles to a heat level that can’t be denied. Cash last to find someone and when he first meets Bobbie Jo sparks flew. As they go navigate a relationship filled with pure pleasure, it takes a surprise to see what’s more important. This was an enjoyable read filled with great characters and a fun storyline.

With Bobby Jo, everything ain’t as easy as it seems, she is a strong, stubborn woman or is she? Cash, the youngest brother, is an eternal celibate but he is always there for Her since they came back in town.
Drama, pain, love and crazy stuff are all the ingredients for this great heartbreaking love story. I promised you won’t be able to put it down until the last page.

WOW ... Cash and Bobbi Jo’s story is extreme. Their journey is an absolute roller coaster of events, emotions and then some really unexpected twists. You will not be disappointed, maybe like me you’d like the epilogue to one step further. But 🤷♀️ It’s a great read, don’t miss it. This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Wow this is not what I expecting in this third addition to this series. Cash and Bobbie Jo’s story has some twists and turns you were certainly not expecting. These two really have to work hard to get their HEA. The storyline keeps you reading until the very end. Great read and series!

Holy cow! This book was absolutely a very intense emotional read. You could feel the all the connection and emotions right thru the pages as you read. I really hope there is more to this series want to know more about all the characters.
