Here we are once again in Lusty, Texas and I will say that Love Under Two Wildcatters is both funny and erotic if that is possible. It is funny because Susan’s idiot brothers think that by sending Colt and Ryder they can get Susan out of her isolation. While that does work I will tell you that in a later book the payback the brothers receive is great. Also the verbal sparring between Susan, Colt, and Ryder in the beginning had me chuckling.

 

Susan Benedict grew up in Lusty and like most all of the residents (and family members) so having more than one man is not something new. However she just feels that she isn’t going to find anyone special. Enter Colt and Ryder and from the get go things are explosive. There is no having to explain a menage relationship to Susan or ease her into it. I am telling you these three are HOT, HOT, HOT! However someone from the guys past really doesn’t want them happy. I am talking at all and Susan ends up in the line of fire but Susan is a woman of Lusty which means she knows how to handle herself. In fact her way of dealing with the guy gets talked about in many future books. It is great! <img class="emoji" draggable="false" src="http://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png" alt="

Cara Covington has created a very special town in Lusty, Texas! Love Under Two Benedicts is the 3 book in the Lusty, Texas series and the second that I actually read. All of these books can be read on their own as stand alone books however you get to know the town and people better if you read more of them.  I was fairly new to the whole menage deal when I began reading this series, in fact this series was the first that I read and enjoyed.

 

You really feel for Kelsey Madison because she has finally began to put her life together after watching both her husband and young son murdered. She has come to Lusty to open a restaurant,Lusty Appetites, which will be a prominent fixture in most all of the future books. Kelsey girl can cook! She manages to catch the eyes of Matthew and Steven (a rancher) Benedict who are terribly adorable if I do say so myself. Matthew is one of my favorite Lusty men! I love when he runs out of the sheriff’s office (he’s a deputy in a town where the police force is a total of 3) and takes off behind Kelsey. Both men love spending as much time as they can with her. The agree to Kelsey’s “it’s just sex” but even she knows deep down that it isn’t. She has a really hard time when a little boy is left in her restaurant by his mother who is being abused. Then someone from her past resurfaces and is determined to make sure that Kelsey doesn’t remember them. The two wonderful men help Kelsey deal with the heartbreak of her past and show her that there is a future for her. One that is filled with love, laughter, and a town full of family. Not to mention the incredibly HOT sex!

Remember I told you about how Colt and Ryder (book 4) got back at Susan’s brothers well it is in this book and let me tell you it’s funny. Although in all fairness they don’t actually knowingly get back at them. They simply find humor in a mistake that happens. Josh and Alex Benedict have this plan to find the perfect wife. They are intelligent and are sure if they use that along with their logic things will be fine. What they hadn’t counted on was their Grandma Kate and the fact that love has no logic to it at all. Grandma Kate hire Penelope to work for the brothers and the minute they meet sparks begin to fly.

“Penelope, this is Joshua and Alexander Benedict, two of my grandsons, and the current head honchos of Benedict Oil and Minerals.”

Oh, dear. It wasn’t the older men who had risen their feet, but two younger ones whose faces she hadn’t seen when she entered as they’d been sitting, heads down, and writing.  Her eyes fastened on two of the most handsome, well-built, yummy-looking men she had ever seen in her life. But that wasn’t what had her heart pounding and those butterflies doing somersaults.

It was the sudden realization that there, standing before her, were the very images of the wispy, ethereal lovers who had haunted her dreams for the past six years.

Talk about a first impression! They are all so attracted to one another that they end up in bed together the very night they meet. That can only mean one thing of course! The men become super overprotective and poor Penelope is in a  tail spin.

“Let me.” Alex’s voice drew his attention. “I’ve been fantasizing,” his brother said as he reached up and began to draw the pins from Penelope’s hair.

Miles of black, luminous locks tumbled free, cascading down to hang just at the middle of her sweet, sweet ass.

“Jesus.” Alex’s one word, reverent, as he gently combed his fingers through her hair, echoed Josh’s sentiment, exactly.

“My God.” Like a man mesmerized, Josh tossed the condoms onto the table and went to her.

He cupped her face, turned her to him, and kissed her again at the same time his brother started liberating her from her clothes.

Then she accidentally discovers their idea of how to find the perfect wife and realize that perhaps what they have been sharing hasn’t been on the up and up. What she does to Josh and Alex is so funny! She is so angry and I must tell you that I don’t blame her one bit. She heads out and runs straight to Grandma Kate determined to quit her job and move on. However Grandma Kate is not a woman to be deterred from her mission and her mission is to see that the unattached family members become attached! Then Penelope, Josh, and Alex all find out that the first night they were together left some consequences thanks to the boys sister and her husband unusual method of birth control. This is a mission for the entire family and bringing these three together require drastic measures!  I enjoyed learning about this particular marriage because in later books they aren’t around much. They run part of the family business so they stay pretty busy.

Dev and Drew had to leave beautiful Julia Benedict in New York and return to duty. She was gone when they got back. She ran scared straight back to her family in Lusty.

She was their woman, just had to convince her of it. Plan A takes place in Lusty.
The road is never straight in Lusty. Julia is kidnapped by a mixed up mexican drug lord's confused hired guy. He meant to take another woman but this one was worth more.

The passion is just the right amount. The muscle flexing is not overboard. The secondary characters are there but don't take over. It is a good story. Julia is a strong woman who ends up catching the bad guy.

The story was predictable, cookie cutter and dumb and dumber would describe the villians. A disappointment.
