Note: This novella was previously published in the Some Like It Hot Anthology. Although the story has not changed, this version contains a short bonus scene.

New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards is heating things up with Boots Optional, a sexy new ménage novella which is the first book in a hot new series called Dead Heat Ranch.

Grace Lambert is familiar with hard work, long days, and handsome cowboys. She’s been working for her family’s dude ranch since she was old enough to ride a horse and she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. What she is afraid of is the heat that’s been generating between her and not one, but two sexy cowboys who’ve set their sights on her. And each other.

Grant Kingsley and Lane Miller have both had their eyes on Gracie for years, but the feisty cowgirl has managed to keep them at bay. As far as they are concerned, cowboys don’t give up, and neither of them is ready to give up just yet. Not on her and not on the heat that transpires between the two of them.

Find out what happens when the sultry Texas nights get as hot as the fierce Texas days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love me some menage! ;)

In true Nicole Edwards tradition - this is a great read full of wonderful characters and a stunning cowboy setting.

This menage is very similar to another she has written - but there are enough differences to enjoy it as a new story.

It's a great introduction to a new series and I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic introduction to a new series!

This novella first arrived to Nicole Edwards fans in the anthology "Some Like it Hot". I devoured it so quickly then I was drooling and dying for more. And the exact same thing happened when I read it again in this release in anticipation of "Betting on Grace", which is coming out Tuesday, July 29. I. Can't. Wait. Lane is so hot, HOT, as the seemingly dominant alpha in this trio. Grant isn't a weak alpha by any means, he's just not as aggressive because he's more afraid to lose Lane and Grace if he gives in to his deep desires for them both. And Grace is afraid of her own desires, but feisty and bratty because she's unsure of how giving in to the two men she wants, especially knowing they want each other, will work. We get a glimpse of just how powerful the feelings they have for each other become explosively fantastic in "Boots Optional", and I personally am waiting on pins and needles until Tuesday! You absolutely WILL enjoy this novella. I would suggest reading it before "Betting on Grace" so you get the background story on the start of the three of them. And, as always, Nicole's writing is HOT and beautiful!!

MY REVIEW

HOT damn this book is smoulderin'!!!
Boots optional is a great novella that introduces us to the characters in the setting of Dead Heat Ranch, owned and operated by the Lambert family.
Grace lives on Dead heat ranch and she is beautiful, smart, funny, full of attitude and she’s a Cowgirl a real gritty, foul mouthed hard working cowgirl, not just a pretty girl in great boots!
Mix Grace up with Hot sexy Grant and Lane and you get a smokin' hot perfect Grace, Grant and Lane Sandwich and story.
You just fly through this novella and when its finished you want more.
I love that Nicole has lined up more hot pairings in this quick read it leaves you guessing on which of Grace's sisters will be next in line for a fantastic book.
I effin' love this woman's work, her writing lets you escape in to her words for hours on end and she never disappoints.

How is it possible that three like-minded sexual individuals would find themselves working on the same ranch? OK so it is unbelievable...but do we really care? No way! This book is so hot it is on fire! Grace works on her father's ranch & walks in one day to find Lane & Grant in a compromising position, one that surprisingly doesn't make her run. She stands, stares, longs to be the filling in between the Lane & Grant sandwich! LOL She is confused about her sexual feelings, and also wonders why Lane & Grant have both been chasing her for years if they really care about each other. Behind the closed doors of Grace's cabin she lets down her guard & slowly lets these two men seduce her while they seduce each other. The connection is hot & steamy but also serious. If they aren't behind closed doors what will they do? No one will understand the bond these three have & obviously there will be judgments about their "kinky" threesome. But before reality strikes we get to experience the wonderful positions these three put themselves in & holy cow, a great steamy menage read like nothing I've read before! We are introduced to Grace's four sisters so there is a lot of promise for future books.
