Blurb/Summary:

Josh and Cole live alone on an isolated, six-hundred-acre farm. Chelsea, a local girl from town, visits them sometimes to help them keep their needs met. She thrives off Cole's dominant nature. The meaningless ménage is not enough for Josh, who wants a woman who can help him reach Cole emotionally. Who can help him win Cole's love?

When Toni arrives at the farm, she quickly discovers the men's arrangement with Chelsea, and that it's not satisfying Josh at all. As Josh and Toni's attraction and connection grows, Josh becomes sure she's the right fit for both of them. He knows she's the one who can help him break through the ice around Cole's heart. But first, he's got to find a tactful way to get rid of Chelsea, and then, he's got to convince both Cole and Toni that Toni wants them both.

Review:

Braided Desire by JC Szot touched me. Toni, the heroine, had tragedy touch her life at an early age. The tragedy affected her ability to form long lived relationships. She sequestered her time as an accountant in a big firm, a job that could be done in solitude and pursued her other passion in dancing, a way to unleash her complex emotions.

Cole owns a farm on the outskirts of town and is doing poorly after his own personal loss. He’s a handsome man with a broody temperament who gives his passion to the townee he and Josh share as a casual fuck. But with Toni, there he finds he desires more out of life but drowns himself in booze instead of reaching out and taking.

Josh loves his best friend but won’t stand idle and not enjoy the passion he feels for their new tenant. He treats her as a gentleman would, but also enjoys long passionate nights with her. At the cost of ending his friendship, it eats him away until they find a way to bridge Cole’s barriers and bring him into their arms for a threesome that will bond them together forever.

This story held me enthralled with all the complex barriers each one of them possessed. I loved the peace keeper Josh, his ability to de-escalate a given situation, and how he boldly loved them both.
