Hottish, but the female lead gives a really poor impression of a British female...., 14 Oct 2011
This review is from: Her Arizona Cowboy Brothers (Siren Publishing Menage Amour) (Kindle Edition)
I'm not going to go into too much detail, as the book doesn't deserve it, and yes, it was a waste of my money. It's about 3 brothers who are descendants of the Sybars, who are masters of illusion and who have strong sexual needs, who place an ad for a housekeeper, but said ad can only been seen by a female Sybar. So Lizzie arrives, falls in lust with the guys and in love with the illusion-ranch they've created, which mirrors her dream house. So, she has sex with all of them - so, so hot only - but one morning, wakes to find that the house is tatty and peeling and rundown, and it's because the guys are ill and have been unable to maintain the glamour and illusion. So, she leaves, telling them that they've conned her, and even when they tell her they're in line for big bucks in 2 months, she doesn't believe them. She goes back to living in a motel and decides to go back to London, but at the airport senses one brother arriving, runs to him, sees her dream car that he's bought, and then questions him as to whether it's true or illusion and whether the inheritance came through, and as it is all true, she stays with them. Cold, unfeeling, self-important, full-of-herself, cocky female who was totally unlikeable, and three saps who yes were built, and did want her, but admittedly who deceived her too. They deserved each other. Declarations of love all round came across as 'planted' and totally fake. A total waste of my money.

Interesting concept that just didn't work, 20 Sep 2010
By Scarletledder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Her Arizona Cowboy Brothers (Siren Publishing Menage Amour) (Kindle Edition)
Love the menage genre, but this book just didn't work on so many levels. The concept of an alien enhanced human race that can create illusions via thought reading that produces mind blowing sex is interesting. What was not interesting was the heroine. Dreadful. Cringe worthy. A young woman who is not aware she is one of the Sybar race, due to being orphaned very young, travels from England to California to fulfill her movie star dreams. Faced with the reality that she will be working low paying jobs forevermore, she sees an ad in the classifieds that only a Sybar woman can see. Housekeeper wanted. The three brothers, cowboys ,who behave like backward hicks on their best days,then endeavor to make her every fantasy come true via illusions created from reading her deepest fantasies because, allegedly, they want to continue their bloodline through offspring. What kind of idiot would actually think that a Southern Plantation exists in the middle of the desert? Oh yeah, our heroine does! The truth is, they live in a run-down ranch/hovel and they know that if something were to happen to them, like an illness, they would not be able to keep the grand illusion alive as their powers are sapped. Guess what happens next lol. At any rate, the heroine of our novel is vain, narcissistic and completely unlikeable and seems to only be in the novel to participate in the many, many rather joyless sexual adventures with the band of brothers, who for some unknown reason ( ok, it's sex and lots of it ) fall in love with this creature. There is no emotional connection between the characters, you never care about them, no marriage, no babies, no commitment beyond their "psychic connection", which is a plot device for carrying out said many, many joyless sexual adventures. Do yourself a favor and read Leah Brooke or Maya Banks if you are interested in the menage genre.

Could be better, 30 Sep 2010

Started out with a good premise and then the story lost my interest when the main character starting complaining more about them not having money than about their lies. Will wait until this author's 3rd or 4th book before purchasing another as the author does have good plots.

Love is but an illusion until money is involved, 30 Jun 2011
By cathyr - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Her Arizona Cowboy Brothers (Siren Publishing Menage Amour) (Kindle Edition)
First book in "Sexual Meltdown" series. Followed by Her Texas Cowboy Brothers. Plot: Ben, Kyle and Jake are Sybars. They have the power to read minds of other Sybars, and project an illusion to woo a Sybar woman. That is, if they can find one of the hundred Sybar women in the world. Elizabeth (Lizzie) is a Sybar woman down on her luck. Lured to the boys ranch as the new housekeeper, Kyle and co cover their rundown home with the homestead of her dreams. When the illusion inevitably fails, will they be able to convince Lizzie she should stick with them? Comments: - 2315 kindle locations, 25,828 words - Elizabeth is 24, Ben 21, Kyle 30, Jake 24. - Sex is m/f, m/f/m, m/f/m/m. Fairly frequent. Some bdsm including spanking and bondage. Explicit. Opinion ***SPOILERS***: This book has taken me *months* to complete. I have been struggling with the whole premise of "fool her into thinking we're someone we aren't and she'll forgive us when we are". The poor woman was being made a fool of, treated as a gold digger, from the get-go. They didn't bother to try to get to know her, and didn't let her get to know them. But I don't like leaving a book unread, so I put it down, did a few other things, and then started anew. Gee that was a struggle. It didn't get better. This book is really awful. Lizzie is made a fool of, and then written as a gold-digger when all the illusion has suddenly disappeared and she's dumped in reality, all she can say is "you told me you were rich, and you're not!". The boys are hillbillies (they get told to have a bath because a woman is coming!), have no idea how to treat a woman, can't be bothered fixing the ranch with elbow-grease because there's money down the track, and just want their own way. The author tosses in so many f***s and c**ts and b***ds that you really wish someone would find the soap for their mouths. The sex is wham-bam, forceful, male-oriented. There really isn't anything about this book that redeems it. Except perhaps that it was relatively short. -CR-
