I just wanted to add that that book is excellent. I adore Maya Banks books and this one is top notch. The emotions, the hot sex and the love in this book are amazing. It also has some great suspense. The whole package is here! You will not be disappointed!

I will not repeat the resume that the previous did. Just say that it is not only a MUST READ but a KEEPER.

It has everything: romantic, steamy hot sex, action.

From page 1 to end, I opened the book and never droped it!!!!

You will not make a mistake to buy this book, trust me!

Every so often Amazon emails me a list of recommended reads based on previous purchases and one day a recommendation for "Coulter's Woman", arrived. I read the synopsis and a couple of reader reviews and thought `what the heck'. Having never read a Maya Banks' book or a ménage story before I was a little skeptical, however this story gripped me from page one to the last page. IMHO this story is erotic romantic fantasy at it's finest.

Maya Banks' strength as a writer is her ability to develop strong endearing characters that are individually unique. The Coulter brothers are no exception.

Adam, Ethan and Ryan Coulter own a hunting lodge in a remote area of the Colorado Rockies. The setting for this book is breathtakingly beautiful and Maya takes you though a full change of seasons as the story progresses.

Adam is strong minded, stubborn, and tough, essentially the `patriarch' of the family. He is accustomed to being a dominant in his personal and professional life, patience doesn't tend to be his strongest virtue and he is quite stubborn by nature. Ethan is the peacemaker of the three brothers, strong, intelligent and easygoing. Ethan is the one that referee's the arguments and smoothes any ruffled feathers. He is a methodical thinker, which comes into play in any decision he makes. Ryan, the youngest of the three brothers is, I would say the most volatile of the three. A free spirit who is also stubborn and cautious, he has suffered a horrible experience as the result of the war. Ryan is struggling to come to grips with the emotional and physical damage this has caused to his body and spirit. All three brothers have one thing in common they are fiercely protective of their family and love each other unconditionally. They also instinctively know that there is one woman who will fulfill them and be `their woman'.

Adam finds `Holly Bardwell' unconscious and freezing to death in a snow filled ditch at the roadside outside the brother's lodge. From the moment Adam lays eyes on Holly, he feels a special bond to her and senses she is `the one' to complete his family. Holly is a woman on the run, terrified, abused, insecure and half frozen, she awakens in the lodge to find not one but three tall handsome men have taken her in and are willing to nurture and love her.

Ms Banks' spins a story of a relationship between these four people that can only be described as intense, erotic and beautiful. Holly matures and gains confidence in herself as a person, as a woman and in her sexuality under Adam, Ethan and Ryan's careful nurturing. Adam, Ethan, and especially Ryan also grow as individuals. Holly's past comes back to haunt her however, and her men are forced to protect and try to keep her safe as a malevolent threat from her vile abusive previous spouse closes in.

The sex scenes are graphic in this novel, but Maya crafts them in a tasteful way that is fitting with the character's unusual relationship. There is also some violence in the story, but again even those scenes are well managed and woven perfectly into the plot.

"Coulter's Woman", made me laugh, chew my nails and weep, in other words I experienced a full range of emotions while reading this book. What is it that makes it so special? I think it is the classic `knight in shining armor' rescues `damsel in distress' theme. (Except you have three gorgeous knights in shining armor. lol) But more than that it is about four people whose feelings grow into a deep love and lasting commitment to one another.

This book holds a place on my bedside shelf because it is one of the few books I read, again and again and again.
