I had enjoyed the first two books in the series. In this one we have Marcy, hired to clean for Ramon by Victor, the oldest of the three brothers. Tthe former cleaning lady is off somewhere with Henry, the former owner, the man who raised the three brothers. Marcie jumps into Ramon's bed the second night after she's arrived, simply because he asks her and he's 'hot'. She does this despite the fact that he's made it clear that he wants none of the brothers, other relatives, or Marcy in his home. He's an angry man, snaps at everyone, and sulks. Ramon's big fear, as we begin to learn more about the secretive character, Henry, is that he's not really brothers with the other two. Ramon knows for certain the they had the same mother. That would mean that, even if his fear was true, they would still be half brothers. He's convinced the other two will reject him if it turns out they're not 'really brothers' , still the way he thinks about the consequence of having different fathers. This part was really hard for me to get. He wasn't a dumb character. As a result of his insecurities, Ramon continues to be rude to the brothers, spouses and others who end up coming to stay with him to help at the ranch and attempt to give him support since the ranch is falling apart. All of his adult life, up until Marcy, he's gone to town for sex and been too drunk to remember the women, as evidenced by two who confront him and he hasn't a clue who they are. I don't see what Marcy saw in him except for his fabulous tongue which is referred to in waaay too many sex scenes even for a romance tale. We get a few glimpses that he's 'really' a nice guy since he lets his former school teacher stay in the adjoining ranches he bought after her husband died. He's ashamed of being seen as a nice guy in any way, so hides the good deed. Ramon and Marcy barely talk or see each other during the day since both are busy. They just have sex but then suddenly decide near the end of the book that it's love. Based on what?? This book left me baffled. Marcy's too bright to waste on this guy.
