Brooke Harper thought she would make it big in New York City, but she knew her heart would always be back in her hometown of Bliss, Colorado. She’d intended to come home as the big-shot fashion designer she’d always wanted to be, but her dream job turned into a nightmare, and now she’s crawling home to lick her wounds. When she meets up with two hot cowboys one night at Hell on Wheels, she decides they’re just what she needs to get her groove back.
Bailey Kent hasn’t stopped thinking about Brooke since he met her years before when he first visited Bliss. She’s his dream woman, and now she’s within reach. She responds so beautifully not only to him, but to his brother. They’ve shared women all their lives, but both know Brooke is the one. There’s only one problem. She’s his muse, but she sees him as a way station, not the destination on this journey she’s taking.
Only one problem? Shane Kent knows his brother sometimes doesn’t see the bigger picture. Bay’s head and heart are wrapped up in his art, and it’s Shane’s job to remember the reality of whatever situation they’re in, and this time it’s big trouble. Their last job took them to a ranch that might have been selling more than cattle. Shane witnessed something criminal and they ran, but their old crew is looking for them and he’s worried they’ll find Brooke, too. And then there’s the fact that they once hit on her sister-in-law and her brothers hate them…
It’ll take a miracle to bring these three together, so it’s a good thing Bliss is known for them.

Review:
Brooke’s Bliss is an erotic thruple romance–with a touch of romantic suspense and a heaping of small town charm–that features two brothers and the woman they’ve been obsessed with for a few years (just check Bay’s–the artist brother–sketchbooks for proof).
Brooke returns to Bliss, her hometown, at a bit of a crossroads in her career. She’s been working in high fashion, but it wasn’t really satisfying her creative urges even before she was let go for reporting her boss’s harassment. She feels like she *should* go back to NYC, but is that really the place for her?
Bay and Shane are half brothers, but they’ve always been true brothers in all the ways that count. After a rough childhood, they’re also back in Bliss after leaving an uncomfortable situation at a ranch in Wyoming. Has something sinister from their past followed them there?
I enjoyed watching Brooke explore new career paths and reconnect to her roots and loved ones in Bliss. Bay and Shane went all out to convince her that they were more than a temporary fling, and it made for some steamy (and at times, even sweet) reading. The suspense portion balanced everything out nicely, raising the stakes and making their eventual commitment to each other all the more satisfying.
This is the 15th(!) book in the series, so there’s all kinds of characters from previous books wandering in and out of the pages here as you go. It *could* be read as a standalone, though it probably won’t be a one and only read in the series for long once you’re done 😉
Rating: 4 stars / B+
