Review: Not A Good Read

This book had so many ideas in it that it was too obvious that two writers produced it.  I won't bother discussing the plot since this title has received so many reviews.  I'll cut to the chase and say that I didn't feel anything for any of these characters.  The supposed love that Silas feels for Lucy is a total sham.  When he was eighteen he totally ignored her and the reader is supposed to believe he has these feelings for her.  He couldn't touch her because he didn't think that she could handle his brand of loving?  We are supposed to believe that at eighteen Silas is such an experienced dominant that poor Lucy can't handle him?  Then, he has one moment of hot kissing with Colby in the barn and when poor Lucy sees this Silas just has to run away so that Colby and Lucy can be together?  When he finally comes back to the ranch and his parents, his other brothers have all left home as well and Colby is now the foreman.  There was something so selfish about Silas and his brothers' leaving the family to run the ranch alone that I couldn't get past their defection.  I didn't believe the feelings that Lucy, Colby and Silas were supposed to have for each other and their wish for a polyamorous relationship.  It just didn't ring true.  The sex scenes were formulaic and the dialogue?  WTF?  Example:  When the world is crazy outside, were here.  Take me Silas.  Find peace with me.  He roared.  Bedroom, Now!!  Silas and Colby could have been the main lovers in this drama and Lucy would not have been missed.  It was more than evident that this story was more mm than mmf.  Silas is at once a Dom and a total conflicted wuss.  A true alpha male hero brings the heat.  (See Kalypso Masters books).  This title was free for a while and man, am I ever glad that I didn't pay a cent for it.  I won't bother reading the other brother's stories because just the way they were written in this story made me want to puke.  This menage was so tortured and overly dramatic that I didn't believe the emotions that the author's were trying to convey at all.  This book fell flat for me but there are many other better menage stories out there and I will do my best to read them all!
