I got this quickie because I wanted something that I could finish in a few hours while also giving me some of my ménage fill. I actually was planning on reading while I watched a football game, but it seemed the story had other plans for me. From the first page we got a look at Kelsey's extremely abusive cop boyfriend. He is the epitome of a freaking Ahole. I hated him and the things he said to her and made her do broke my heart. This is what sucked me in. I thought, "Wow. I'm only a few pages in and the author has already pulled a big chunk of emotion from me."Kelsey decides that she has to make a run for it when her boyfriend goes out of town for work. She hops a bus and gets the F out of dodge. When the bus makes a stop at a small diner, she asks the waitress if anyone might be looking for a cook. Lucky for her there's a local ranch in need of one and seconds later she is working and living at the Whittington ranch (it's a quickie.. deal with it).Marcus and Quinton Whittington are brothers and the owners of the Whittington ranch. Kelsey starts to hear rumors that they scared the last cook off and soon finds out that they like to share women. The brothers don't really make any passes at her at first until one day they find out she is a material witness to the murder of a cop and they flip out on her. She is screaming and telling Marcus to stop, but he rips down her pants and spanks the crap out of her. She quickly tells them it's all fake and it's her cop ex just trying to track her down.This is where everything starts to go downhill. Marcus and Quinton tell Kelsey they will help hide her, but they also want to start dating her. I guess I thought I was going to get to know these men and they were going to help Kelsey heal from all the pain of her ex. That did not happen. In fact, I never even ended up liking the Whittington brothers, but in all fairness I know nothing about them. There were even a few times she would tell them "no" and "stop" but they would just do whatever they wanted. I can get behind the forceful Dom who knows what's best for a sub, but it just didn't fit.The author didn't give me a reason why these three people belonged together. It seemed like any woman would do for the Whittington brothers which left it not feeling like a love story at all. I hated that the author made me feel for Kelsey in the beginning of the book then there was nothing really on the healing of that pain. I felt like the book just ended and I was like ok then. I didn't even get my over the top sex. It was just all kind of pointless.Mistress M
