Date: 09 26, 2011
Third book in "Dakota Heat Anthology". Preceded byDakota Ranch Crude. Followed byDakota Springs. Note thatDakota Heat, Volume 2appears to contain the second two of 4, in paperback.Plot:Cowboys with A Dark Past arrive on Dakota's ranch, looking for work, but with a deep secret. Can Joe and Colt help Dakota save her ranch? Can Dakota save them?Comments:- Contemporary cowboy menage erotica.- 2870 kindle locations, 39774 words- Sex is all m/f/m - generous, loving. Not Dominant. Hot. No m/m. Some anal-play. Aiming for a committed threesome.- While this is the third book in an anthology, all books are completely independent. There is no expectation that the books be read in order, and no cross-over of characters or plot points.Opinion:Another excellent book by Ms Brooke. In "Dakota's Cowboys" we meet three people who need to learn to love and trust again, and together make their own HEA. Ms Brooke knows how to write a sex scene, and once again she doesn't let us down. Very hot, loving, gentle sex with men who struggled not to let the past break them and a woman who has been let down so  many times. Together they are stronger, they are more, and they are loved. A HEA we want everyone to get, and we know they will. Recommended.Aside:Different takes on how a menage develops:Her Dakota Men- pre-destined. They always knew that one day they would be together.Dakota Ranch Crude- necessity. Shayne couldn't trust himself with a woman, but when he shared he could give his all.Dakota's Cowboys- opportunity/organic. They finally found each other; they were better together.Dakota Springs- researched. This was the only way they could all be happy; they googled their way to a menage.-CR-
