| Chelsea Mansfield returned home to Pleasure, Montana, after six years away. She's grown up over the years but so have the two sexy brothers, Preston and Luke Caulfield, that she's loved forever. While they hire her as a sous chef in the Caulfield's Bar and Grill, they still think of her as a kid and are determined to keep their promise to her deployed older brothers and keep men away from her. Unfortunately, that includes Preston and Luke. They try to keep their distance no matter how much they want her.
This is the first book in Melody S. Monroe's "Pleasure, Montana" series. Like many fictional towns in today's erotic genres, polyamorous relationships are accepted and our heroine has had designs on the two brothers for a long time. Chelsea is a strong, stable character, even after she's injured by Preston's ex-partner. She's no shy miss looking for someone to take care of her. The brothers are stable, honorable and protective even as they conspire privately how to get Chelsea for themselves. Maybe a bit too good to be true. I thought it was going to be a bit predictable but it turned out to have some twists I didn't expect. While there is some suspense and danger, the story is a little light on conflict between the characters. Everything is just a little too easy for all of them. Still, the story is interesting and a different take on a typical ménage tale. Caution: Contains attempted rape and violence that may offend some readers.
