Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic

Lauren Wilder had the strength to break away from an abusive boyfriend, but will the past let her go. She is recuperating in Clyde, Colorado with the Colter family, her brother and his wife and a town full of caring people. But this idyllic haven cannot last, she quickly finds out exactly what the COLTERS' GIFT is and how it works. Noah Sullivan and Liam Prescott might have been hired to find her abuser, but to them she is so much more. For the first time in their lives, more or less as brothers, they are attracted to the same woman and neither is willing to step back for the other. When they find that Lauren lied and led them down a nonexistent path they confront her to find our why. The ex is into illegal activities with cops in his pocket, she was protecting them and her brother. Lauren knows that the time has come to face her past but, will the past break her or make her stronger? She is so much stronger with Liam and Noah but she also has Mama C (Holly) and her husbands, Adam, Ethan and Ryan; their sons Seth, Michael and Dillon and their wife Lily, her own brother Max and his wife Callie. They are all there for her. Will their love and support be enough to help her survive? I found COLTERS' GIFT grittier, more gut-wrenching than the past Colter stories but with the trademark touches of steamy sex and romance the author [Maya Banks] is known for. Noah and Liam are exactly the type of men Lauren needs, they make mistakes but they give her what she needs, what the Colters gift is ... indisputable love and support. Her ex, whom I refuse to give a name in this review, is one of those bad guys that has no redeeming qualities and I was glad the way things ended for him. I have read all of Ms. Banks' Colter books and loved them all but I will admit that certain parts just hit me a little too hard. Added to the end of this book is a novella that seems to be a final roundup with Lauren getting married and Lily giving birth. It is sad to see the end of this series but I understand the author's decision; where else can she go with this family? I can always reread the books and enjoy them again. Thank you Maya Banks for an unforgettable series.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks’ enthralling saga continues as two men, and one resilient woman hiding from the past, brace themselves for an emotional storm of unavoidable danger and unmatched desire…

Lauren Wilder fell for the wrong man, trusted the wrong man, and she paid a very dear price for it. Now broken and wounded, she's retreated to the bosom of the Colter family and the unshakeable love and support they offer. But the man she once loved and trusted is not without his own power, and he'll use every bit of his money and resources to make sure he gets Lauren back, no matter whom he destroys doing it.

Liam and Noah were hired by Lauren's brother to watch over her. But with danger looming, they head to the Colorado mountains—where Lauren has found temporary sanctuary. In her wounded eyes, Liam and Noah see the woman she once was—and could be again. They’re determined to show her everything a man can be—someone who will love her, cherish her, satisfy her, and when the time comes, put their very lives on the line for her.
