Since the age of five Juliet Chambers has had only one goal in life; to
spend it with
Tanner Wentworth. It might have happened that way if Juliet hadn't been
so afraid of losing him when she reached being a teenager, visualizing
other women taking her place when he went away to college, was
the source for the first trap...poking holes in the condoms to get pregnant
during her senior year would guarantee she would keep him. But, losing
baby Keegan ended it all.
Four years later trap two... setting him up for them to be caught in bed by
her father, did end in marriage but Juliet spent her honeymoon and the
next seven years without him.
Tanner is more than surprised and angry to find
the woman who lies to him pleading to help her out. Making a trip to the
male stripper/bar Beefcakes, Inc. where he works, he gets sucked into
pretending they are together again to aid her grandmother in recovering
from a stroke in exchange for his father's note to be paid in full to Juliet's
father and his trust fund free again.
What they don't know is that this
cagey grandmother has an agenda and will do whatever is necessary to
give happiness to her granddaughter. As they carry out their little
charade it breaks Juliet's heart that he will leave when her grandmother is
better. Tanner just can't let go of Juliet and he remembers just how good
the sex is. Tanner, fighting against involvement again, even realizing he
still loves her, just can't forgive the woman that can't be trusted. Only
convincing Tanner she has changed can make things right, but will he
truly be able to let the deception of the past go?
Beefcakes & Retakes is an amusing story and part of the Beefcake Inc.
series from the talented Judi Fennell. A saucy determined young
woman and a sexy
hunky dancer both have a lot to learn about love and commitment. Each
page is filled with humor, emotion and a deep understanding of the trials
two young people have been through. This tale is a roller coaster ride of
regret, denied love and survival. Judi Fennell never ceases to amaze me
with her creativity with each new book release.
Fool me once…
Juliet Chambers only ever wanted one thing: to be Mrs. Tanner
Wentworth. In love since they were kids, and with adjoining
ranches and their parents as business partners, marriage for
this beautiful couple was inevitable. But Juliet’s deception,
combined with the loss of a child, destroyed their chance at
happiness.
Fool me twice…
Tanner Wentworth only wants two things: to get access to his
trust fund and to get his wife out of his life forever. His
hot dance moves on the stage at BeefCake, Inc. may wow all the
ladies, but Tanner isn’t interested. He has bigger dreams. And
none of them include his treacherous soon-to-be-ex wife.
Third time lucky?
But when Juliet’s beloved grandmother has a stroke, Tanner
agrees to pretend to be a happily married couple one last
time, just until she’s well enough to handle the news that her
favorite couple is calling it quits for good. But seven years
of separation have changed a lot of things. Is it enough for
the once-bitten-twice-shy Tanner to reconsider and risk a
retake on the one woman who never stopped loving him?
