About this ebook

Julia Duke has watched her brothers fall in love, and it’s her turn. But after a rude ex complained she was terrible between the sheets, her confidence is shot. If she can’t please one man, how can she satisfy two? She’s not looking for love, but one Friday night — love finds her.

Bennett and Cash take one look at the fiery redhead and can't resist seducing her into their arms. Nothing will stop them from making her theirs. Not the a-hole ex boyfriend, and not a scandalous past that may change the way she looks at one of them forever.

Now that Julia knows what it's like to be loved by some Grade-A Beefcake, she's willing to do whatever it takes to keep her men, no matter who she has to fight to get her happily-ever-after: the rumor-mill, the law, her crazy ex, or herself.

Remember: With a Vanessa Vale book, one cowboy is never enough. In this smokin' hot series, each heroine gets an extra helping (or two) of Grade-A Beefcake.

The beefcakes are back! This book is steamy hot, and I couldn't wait to read Julia Duke's story. This book is a little different than the others in the series, a little bit more serious, but still just as electric! Julia grew up as the only girl in a house full of Duke boys. Now they have all grown up, found their place in life, along with their partners, and Julie is all alone! Julia has had a run of bad luck, as far as relationships go, and doesn't think she will ever find her happy. Until Bennett and Cash. But what begins as a promising future, soon takes a turn when someone's hidden past comes back to haunt them. This book was just as much fun as the other Beefcake stories. I enjoyed Julia, Bennett and Cash's story, as well as the undeniable connection the three had. I enjoyed the glimpses we caught of the characters from previous books, and really hope this isn't the last we see of the Dukes!

THE CHEMISTRY, THE CONNECTION—IT’S REALLY INTENSE Once again, Ms. Vanessa Vale has unleashed a new series, Grade-A Beefcakes, with a great cast of characters, plenty of laughs, tears, mystery, suspense, romance, and more. Grab you a copy and learn why the Duke boys have earned their beefy monikers, but what about their baby sister, Julia Duke? Will she find her happily ever after ending between two men? A case of mistaken identity will set this tale into motion when Julia answers the door and assumes that the two hot men are the hired strippers for the bachelorette party. Cash and Bennett will drop by the farmhouse to introduce themselves to Julia since they will be giving her a ride home after the party. Letting her assume and rattle will garner some interesting information. From the moment that they meet her, they know, she is ‘the one.’ “I learned a few things about Julia Duke in the short time we spent with her in her brother’s kitchen. First, she was hot. Second, she could blush almost as read as her hair. Third, she was sassy, flirty and a tiny bit filthy.” The plot was interesting, had me laughing out loud one moment and groaning the next with the dialog between the three. It will have some mystery, suspense, secrets, and angst. The chemistry between these three sizzles off the pages and you could call it insta-love between them. Julia will learn that she wasn’t the problem with her ex, it was him, and frigid isn’t a word that describes her. Cash will harbor angst over an issue in his past and not think he isn’t good enough for her. Bennett is the glue that holds this trio together and keeps things running smooth. Julia has brothers and cousins, along with friends and their women who are living a ménage lifestyle. Can she have that kind of happiness and relationship too with Cash and Bennett? “Time doesn’t matter when you find the one.”

I have been waiting for this book to come out ever since seeing her in Tri Tip. She's the younger sister to the Duke brothers and the last to fall. I've been trying to guess as to who her guys would be but I failed at figuring it out. And now I understand why. Cash and Bennet are new to Montana and new to Julia. It's insta-love for all 3 of them the night they meet, even after the mistaken identity. I like these 3 together. Cash most definitely needs Julia in his life. Bennet is their voice of understanding. These 2 men complete Julia and I couldn't be happier for her, for them. I enjoyed this book very much and and will miss this family. *I very read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
