Description:
After months of gentle wooing, Adam and Jake Kendall know their sweet Ginny Rose is on the verge of saying yes to a romance with them. But then her former abuser escapes from jail, and suddenly, all bets are off.
Ginny can’t reason through the terror that grips her when she learns Deke Walters is free. He threatened to kill her and her son Benny—and Ginny will do anything to keep Benny safe.
Adam and Jake assure Ginny that they can keep her and her son safe, but Ginny has had enough of feeling like a victim. Besides, how can she stand tall and behave like a whole woman when deep inside, she knows the wounds she suffered never truly healed?
Bold action is required, and Ginny finds her courage, but will that discovery cost her the love of the men she knows she can’t live without?
Slick’s Thoughts:
As a fan of Lusty, Texas I’ve been waiting for Ginny Rose’s story since she first appeared in Love Under Two Benedicts. While you can read each of the books in this series individually, I really feel you’ll be lost if you don’t start at the beginning and move forward especially with Ginny’s story. Ginny was in an abusive and dangerous relationship putting both herself and her son at risk. Feeling she had no other choice, she decided to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her son from a man who made it clear he didn’t want him around. Thankfully she was able to get away from him and was rescued by some of Lusty’s residents including Sheriff Adam Kendall. That’s where Ginny’s story begins and Adam’s interest starts. Problem is Adam knows he and his brother Jake will have a tough time convincing Ginny to trust them or anyone again. From that book on, we see glimpses of Ginny, her son Benny, and their interactions with Adam and Jake and know this will be a story like no other.
Adam and Jake are brothers and part of a large and loving family who’s ancestors founded Lusty, Texas years and years ago. Lusty was founded by people who wanted to be able to live in ménage relationships without fear of repercussion.
Ginny is a single Mom who was raised in a one parent household with a mother who didn’t want her around. She got pregnant at a young age and then dumped. She then found herself involved with a very controlling and abusive man. She’s been beaten down her whole life and once she’s safely ensconced in Lusty she starts to recover and come into her own. She’s never had people she could count on until now and just as she’s starting to feel safe her abusive ex escapes from prison turning her world upside down.
Adam and Jake set out to find Ginny’s ex-boyfriend and have him returned to prison. Ginny fearing for her and Benny’s safety decides to go and see a long lost aunt in New Jersey. She is helped by Adam and Jake’s Mom and Grandmother again proving to her that she is no longer alone. Once Adam and Jake realize she’s gone they go after her and show her that she means more to them than revenge on her ex or anything else. Because she has been abused in the past, Adam and Jake know they have to take things slow. They truly realize the gift Ginny gives them when she opens her heart and her arms to them and believe me these guys do everything to make her know she is the only one for them.
Once back in Lusty, Adam and Jake set out to bring in her ex and his loser friend. Ginny heads back to work realizing how much stronger she feels back “home”. Ginny ends up taking care of a potential dangerous situation (unbeknownst to her with back up from the women of Lusty). Adam and Jake can’t believe what she’s done and while they manage to hold their tempers there are some truly humorous scenes as Ginny starts to truly assert herself.
Love Under Two Kendalls is a great installment in the Lusty, Texas collection from Cara Covington. You can’t help but love the heroes in this book and watching Ginny grow and change as a woman has been fascinating. I will admit, even though I have read every single one of these books I’m finding it harder and harder to keep everyone straight as more and more family members are introduced. A family tree at the back of these books would be a HUGE help! The Kendall, Benedict, and Jessop families are fun to read about and I highly recommend this story and the entire series to anyone who enjoys reading ménage stories.
