Review: Saddled by Delilah Devlin

Slippery when naked…

When Bobby Blackhawk and Cale Yancey see a car slide off the highway and into an icy creek, they’ve got only minutes to get the beautiful driver out alive. And only one way to save her from hypothermia: take her to their isolated cabin, get naked…and hope like hell that when she wakes up, she doesn’t scream the place down.

Katherine Duvall opens her eyes in a strange bed, and the tingles flooding her body aren’t entirely due to restored circulation. She’s snuggled between two handsome men, one a gruff, gentle giant, the other a sexy, playful Native American. Having just left her fiancé romping with another woman, she’s not quite as shocked as she might have been.

In fact, these two lonesome cowboys could be the perfect bookends to satisfy her hunger for revenge and bolster her dented self esteem. It’s not long before their raging hormones are melting the snow on the cabin roof.

To their surprise, they find something else is melting, too. Their hearts…

I have to admit, I bought this book b/c the blurb was similar to White Out by Linda Howard. Plus, she wakes up w/ two hot guys…even better.

When Katherine finds her fiance doing the maid in the hotel they’re staying at, she runs out the door in the stormy night. She has no idea how to drive in the conditions she finds herself in and soon runs off the road.

Bobby and Cale are heading back to their ranch when they see Katherine slide off the road and into a creek. With no time to even think, they both go in after her. She obviously has the onsight of hypothermia, as does Bobby. Cale somehow gets the three of them home where he strips both Katherine, Bobby, and himself down and climbs into bed to preserve their body heat.

Two things about this book were eyebrow raising.

#1) Cale and Bobby own their ranch together. They live far off the beaten path, so they aren’t able to leave very often during the brutal winters. How do they satisfy their sexual needs? Why, the turn to each other of course. At the very least, that makes these two bi-sexual. That would have been perfectly fine w/ me, but that whole part was glossed over.

#2) I’ve read many ménage books. There hasn’t been one where both men decide to put their happy sticks in the same place. Srsly, is that even physically possible? Even if one of them is smaller than average, the logistics just seem rather odd defying. Thinking about how that could be possible just took me away from the book.

Another intersting thing about the book was Cale’s sudden jealousy. They are used to sharing women, so it was something that neither Cale nor Bobby was prepared for. I wasn’t that much of a fan of Katherine, so the ending would have been better if she rode off into the suset alone, leaving Cale and Bobby to each other. Heh.

I recommend this if you’re looking for a good, non-thinking erotica. It was exactly what I was looking for.

3.5 out of 5.
