RATING 4.5 STARS
T-Bone is book two in the Grade-A Beefcakes series by Vanessa Vale. In this series, we are getting to know the Duke family, one family member at a time. A family of sexy ranchers that have a different idea of what the perfect relationship consists of.
Tucker Duke lives and works on the Duke ranch. His best friend, Colton Ridge is the ranch foreman. Tucker and Colton always knew that when they found the perfect woman, the one, that they would share her. And they have found her. They first met Ava at the end of the previous book, when she was defending her best friend, Kaitlyn. Tucker and Colton knew right away that she would be theirs. Now they just had to convince her of it.
Ava Carter grew up privileged with a father who controlled every aspect of her life, right down to telling her who she would marry. She finally had enough and walked away, giving up everything. She moved to this small town in Montana and bought Raines Seed and Feed. She loved her life here, loved being on her own, making her own decisions. Then she met Tucker and Colton. For a month now they’ve been coming in to her store every single day making her crazy. They have let her know without a doubt that they want her, both of them. But, does she really want two bossy men in her life when she just gained her independence?
At the same time, after months of silence, her father has started bothering her again. She wants no part of him or the man he wants her to marry but he just won’t leave her alone.
I love this series. All these sexy cowboys are enough to make me swoon! Colton and Tucker knew exactly what they wanted. They somehow seemed to know just what Ava needed. They knew when to be bossy and when to stand at her side and let her shine. There is plenty of steam in this one. These three enjoy saving some of their special moments on camera! This is a sweet and hot addition to this series. I can’t wait to see which sibling gets their story next.

Hot seems so tame a word…
My kindle is just now starting cool off after this hot ménage read! Passion is at the heart of this book as Tucker, Colton and Ava burn up the sheets in this cowboy-laced romance. The characters are fun, flirty and (deliciously) downright raunchy. They are not shy about letting each other know how they feel, what they like and how they like it… Words and deeds speak for themselves and these three take every opportunity to back their words up with affirmative action! Happily, along with the sizzle is a story about following your heart and your convictions. Ava is smart and determined not to let her family interfere in what, and whom, she wants out of life!
If you want a short, super-hot read than you have picked up the right book! ~Diane, 4 stars

I didn't like this one as much as I did book one. It was pretty dull with basically no angst. I didn't particularly like the heroine either. On a side note, I was excited to read book three since it features three guys, but after the unappealing description of the heroine (almost 6 feet tall, big boned, muscular, dressed in a drab uniform), plus she is the sheriff of the town, I was utterly turned off. I am not sure the author could have made her less attractive if she tried. On top of that, her and one of the heroes already have a fling back in the day which in my opinion throws off the dynamic with the other two guys right from the start...oh well, it is what it is.

Sexy Independent female meets two thoroughbred cowboys who are looking and willing to share.
What's better than one cowboy.... two cowboys!
T-Bone is the second book in the Grade-A Beefcakes series. This series is a menage series revolving around an MFM theme. If you don't like seeing sexy cowboys sharing one willing woman, This series may not be for you. But, if you love themes such as this, along with short erotic reads and loads of hot as hell sexy times, this series is definitely for you.
Alright, In all honesty the first book in this series (Sir Loin of Beef) did not work for me at all. I felt like the character chemistry didn't mesh at all and the story didn't flow. So in all reality I was very hesitant to dive into T-Bone. Even though I didn't love T-Bone, I actually liked it a whole lot better than the first book. The chemistry flowed better and the connections where stronger. I also felt like each of the three had their own little parts to tell in this story instead of one outshining the other. It was a great read.
The only issue I have....*Groans*....T-Bone had huge potential to be something other than an erotic based novel. I really liked these characters, but I felt their stories were dampened down to make room for the sex scenes...I'm only semi complaining because, holy hell, those sexy time scenes ignited the pages on my kindle.
Overall, T-Bone was a short sexy read. Having read novels by Vanessa Vale is the past, I knew what I was getting into when I first started this one but I still wanted and needed a little bit more.

I loved Tucker and Colton, they're strong and protective, but also let Ava do her own thing and be independent. They made a good threesome and their romantic scenes together were so hot! This had a good plot and wasn't just about the smut which was nice. Ava's dad is a piece of garbage and I'm glad the guys backed her up and didn't let him dictate her life.
Great narrators and quick story. Looking forward to the next book!

T-Bone is the newest in the Duke Brothers series by Vanessa Vale. And it was exactly what I've come to expect and enjoy from this author.
This MFM romance featured best friends who meet the girl they want to share their life, their bed, and their forever with. But there is more to her than it seems at first and soon they not only have to get her to open up to both of them, but they also have to help her deal with her past for them to start on their future.
This book was packed with lots of loving cowboys, sassy independent women, and lots and lots of steam. I love that there's always a little more than just the budding romance going on with these stories. There were one or two bad guys for me to dislike and some scheming to figure out. Despite this being a short story, I still feel like I got a full one for the most part. This is an insta-love. These men know who their woman is from the moment they laid eyes on her.
As always, because I love Vanessa Vale's writing, I would love it if there was more or if it was longer. But I always know I'm going to enjoy every word when I start one of her books, and she hasn't let me down yet.

A quick and dirty three way relationship with instalove. I did not read book one in this series but give this one 3.5 sexy stars. I'll be honest, it's mostly their sexual relationship with a bit of her past knocking on the door and trying to mess things up so there's not a ton of substance but it's still a hot read that I read in one sitting. I'm looking forward to the next book and may have to go back for book 1.

THE REAL PROBLEM IS BOSSY, CONTROLLING MEN IN MY LIFE!
Once again, Ms. Vanessa Vale has unleashed a new series, Grade-A Beefcakes, with a great cast of characters, plenty of laughs, tears, mystery, suspense, romance, and more. Grab you a copy and learn why the Duke boys have earned their beefy monikers. Find out about their proclivities, and when they find ‘the one’ how their lives will change—for the better.
Ava Carter will move to Raines, Montana and buy the Seed and Feed store, running it and staying busy. While she is a little fancier than many, she is down-to-earth and pretty too. Busy is good, and some customers make it a habit of coming in daily, like Tucker Duke and Colton Ridge. From the time these two saw her at Cassidy’s they both knew she was “the one.”
The plot will have Tucker and Colton watching out for their girl, especially protecting her from other men in town. “We protect what’s ours.” If a neighbor gets a little handsy or makes a lewd comment about Ava, they will be sure to help him see the errors of his ways. Getting Ava to accept them as hers takes a little more work, but she is worth it.
“Every day you stop in. Every day you ask me to go out with you, and I say no. Don’t you take no for an answer?”
My, oh my, when Ava decides to change her mind, and see what Tucker and Colton have to offer, it gets hot, heavy, and dirty. The three of them were meant to be together.
“I don’t like a gentle ride. I prefer a long, hard one, where we’re breathing hard and all sweaty when done. I felt—good. Relieved. Reassured. I could be me. Makeup and manicures, but manure, too. No, not slutty. Doing hot and sexy things between consenting adults—whether it’s two or three—is not slutty. If that’s what you three like, then go for it.”
Trouble is brewing; Ava has left her family in Denver refusing to be her father’s puppet and marry his business partner, Perry, a man that does nothing for her. When her father threatens to disown and disinherit her, she doesn’t care; she would rather go through life happy, than miserable like her mother. She will leave Denver and not look back, but that doesn’t mean her father is just going to let her go that easily.
“Good stuff. Bad stuff. All of it.”
There is so much sizzling passion when Colton, Ava, and Tucker get together. They are perfect for each other, they give as good as they get, and they have fun getting dirty together. They enjoy taking naughty photos to document their adventures too. While Ava is normally formidable when it comes to her father, he upsets her, and her men don’t like that. They will back her, but allow her to control the situation with her father, and she makes them proud. But get her mad, and the claws come out. Ava can be fierce when she needs to be—and her men enjoy seeing that side of her too. There is just the right balance of power exchange, dominance, and submission. There is no m/m, only m/f and m/f/m scenes.
“It’s okay for my tiger to be a kitten sometimes. You’re ours now, which means you have to share. Promise. And forever. You’re ours. Every filthy, flirty, feisty inch of you.”
The story does include explicit ménage scenes between three consenting adults. This is the second book in the series, will read well as a stand-alone and does not end on a cliffhanger. There is also a bonus scene that can be found in Ms. Vale’s newsletter.

*3 Stars*
ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
I read this one as I was in intrigued by the rest of the family, after reading the first book in the series. Whilst this one does not have a huge amount of substance, and is based mainly around the insta-love type relationship the characters have, I have to say that the main three characters were likeable.
A few things from the past pop up, and some issues that need to be dealt with, but for the most part this is just a really fast and sexy read.
Can be read as a stand alone.

T-Bone is the second book in the Grade-A Beefcakes series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Tucker knows that Ava is meant to be his and Colton’s, but while they tell her they’re interested, Ava isn’t - yet. Ava grew up around a bossy and controlling father, and she knows she doesn’t want one more man in her life, let alone two cowboys that draw her in, but soon she can’t resist them anymore. Can Tucker and Colton prove to Ava that they want *her*, even while someone else tries to force them apart?
Whooo-eeee, this book is extra steamy, with a strong woman learning to trust in herself and the men surrounding her! This book was so much fun to read! I loved Ava because she knew that money wasn’t everything and gave it all up to go after all that she wanted! While she wasn’t expecting two men to be part of that equation, they really focused on her, helped her get out of her head, and appreciated all of the little things that made up Ava! Tucker and Colton came from two different backgrounds, had a love of their ranch, and I loved that their friendship helped to provide for Ava and all of her needs! Ms. Vale is one of those authors that I will drop everything to read, and I’m thoroughly enjoying this series so far and can’t wait to see what’s going to happen with Gus!

In book 2 of this series, we get Ava, Tucker and Colton's story. I liked it but not as much as the first book. Sure, the story was hot and sexy but something seemed to be missing and I wanted more development from the characters. There's a tiny bit of drama that pops up with her Dad and the guy her dad wants her to marry but it's nothing dramatic. Like I said, I still like the story and will still recommend it and I still plan on reading the next book in the series!

In Short
- I was able to get into T-Bone when I had been struggling to get into other books.
- I really enjoy the Duke family.
- Fun, saucy and quick read.
In Full
Before T-Bone I was struggling to get into any other books and decided I just needed a book which was an easy but entertaining read. Well T-Bone was exactly what I needed and I didn't want to put it down.
T-Bone is steamy, hot, raunchy but tasteful. If T-Bone doesn't make you hot under the collar then... Well I am not sure what will!
The story line is similar to Sir Loin of Beef in the way that it's quite a simple but entertaining read. It didn't need any suspense or full on action scenes (well not that sort) nor did I want them, I became addicted without...although there are plenty of other sort of action scenes ;)
I absolutely love the Duke family and I am finding myself excited for the next book to spend more time with them and get to see this family more. I love seeing how they interact and how close they are as a family.
Tucker and Colton really balanced each other out with their personalities, Ava is one lucky girl!
Final Thoughts

Vanessa Vale is back with the next standalone book in the Grade-A Beefcake series y'all, delivering a sexy, sweet, steamy, and completely unforgettable menage romance that will get your heart racing fast and one that will have you flipping the pages fast.
I felt a lot of emotions while moving along this journey with Tucker, Colton, and Ava.... falling head over heels in love by the time the pages quit turning in their story. Undeniable chemistry. Uncontrollable passion. Sparks that none of the three can deny... you can't miss them.
Vanessa Vale isn't one I like to miss out on. Fast reads with heat and heart... she's totally one of the good ones.
I definitely recommend this book.

Tucker and Colton are on the lookout for their ONE. They find her owning the Seed and Feed store in town. But Ava isn't having any of that. She has finally made a life for herself away from demanding men and she wants to keep it that way. But Tucker and Colton know what they want and it is Ava.
This is a great menage story with a very happy ending.

"3.5 Super Hot Stars
Tucker and Colton are absolutely smitten with the new girl in town. They claim her together as soon as they see her and just have to convince her that it's a good idea. Ava comes from a multi billionaire family that she happens to want nothing to do with. Once Ava realizes that Tucker and Colton are actually in love with her, all bets are off. There is trouble with Ava's father, but together they take care of it. These three are scorching hot together. While the plot was somewhat lacking for me - I wanted more of the drama and info about the father - the connection with the characters, the sexy times are oh so hot. Overall this book was really good, seeing other characters from the first book was amazing, and the author did a great job of keeping me interested. I cannot wait for the next book!"

T-Bone is another hot, hot, sexy read, still cooling down here. My god I love this series, this is book two and is about Tucker and Colton lassoing Ava the girl of their dreams. Ava owns and runs the Seed and Feed store and enjoys watching Colton and Tucker when they come in the store to flirt.
Eventually they wear her down and its full steam ahead. This is a short and quick read but packs a full punch. Lots of action in and out of the bed. Colton and Tucker were so good to Ava she couldn’t help falling in love with them.
A really great addiction to the Grade A Beefcakes Series. I am definitely looking forward to Tri-Tip, as this series is leaving me with a big smile on my face.

Oh Boy! This book was so HOT I thought my Kindle was gonna melt! These three took dirty to a whole new level!
Ava is at times naive, but also worldly. She was brought up in a world that is totally different from what she is living now. The owner of the seed and feed, she has left behind her family with all of their controlling expectations. But she still hasn't been able to get past that need they had to control her, and thinks that Colt and Tucker's need for control and bossiness is the same. They just have to convince her that it's not the same at all.
This book was HOT and funny at the same time. I loved how determined the guys were, and how patient they were with Ava. Another amazing story!
Ava is at times naive, but also worldly. She was brought up in a world that is totally different from what she is living now. The owner of the seed and feed, she has left behind her family with all of their controlling expectations. But she still hasn't been able to get past that need they had to control her, and thinks that Colt and Tucker's need for control and bossiness is the same. They just have to convince her that it's not the same at all.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
Ava was done with bossy men.
However, she did not mind the bossiness from Tucker + Colton.
They just look too good in a pair of jeans.
Tucker + Colton made very clear to Ava that she belonged to them.
What is Ava to do?
Let them know that they belonged to her as well.
What she crazy? Of course not.
She was not gong to let all of this hottiness get away.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of the book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
I liked T-Bone better than Sir Loin of Beef - I think it’s because the first book in the series had an element to it that was quite heavy and it just didn’t seem in keeping with the rest of the story and that made it feel a bit imbalanced to me. T-Bone was a much lighter read (which was more in keeping with my expectations of some campy, ménage fun), with just enough tension to make it interesting. I do wish we had gotten more information about the two male characters, Tucker and Colton, I did appreciate the focus on Ava and the fact that she was a multilayered heroine. I’m looking forward to reading Tri-Tip and getting to know the 3rd Duke brother! 2.75 out of 3 wine glasses.

This was just meh. I liked the first book better. This one bored me a bit. I wanted something to break up the bleakness of another book I''m reading and this didn't quite live up to it. Even the sex was a bit monotonous to me. It also doesn't help that the narrator can't do much differentiation between voices (all females sound the same and all males sound the same) so it's hard to know who's talking at times.
Oh well, this one just didn't do it for me.

This book follows Tucker, Colton, and Ava. She discovers Tucker when Kaitlyn has to deal with her stalker. That's when Tucker knew he wanted her. They end up together, and then her dad needed her to marry her ex, Perey, because he is blackmailing him. Gosh Perry is annoying. I'm glad Ava got the last word. I'm so glad they got everything worked out.

Could have been the frame of mind I was in but this particular book of the “Grade A Beefcakes” series didn’t hit the spot for me. I’m disappointed because Vanessa Vale usually comes through with flying colors! Usually there is was more to chew on in her stories with many opportunities for laughing out loud as well as the many powerful “love scenes”. This time it seems that most of the action was in the bedroom with a lot of the language being on the “crass” side, not that it’s a bad thing, but I was expecting a bit more to the story line. In the end, the introduction to the following book looks promising. Again looking forward to the rest of the family’s stories!

T-Bone is book two of the Grade A Beefcakes Series. This book can be read as a standalone, but for me, I need the background story, even though it’s in spots throughout this book, I need the relationship between the characters in the first book as well as the second. This book takes place a month after the first book. I didn’t think I would be disappointed. Ms. Vale has a calling for writing about hot, dominant and sexy heroes. I like the heroes more than the heroines.
Avaleigh “Ava” Carter was introduced in book one, Sir Loin of Beef. There is more to Ava and I like what is revealed. Ava is a “cowgirl princess”; she’s rough and tough. She has some issues with her daddy, but not daddy issues. She doesn’t play games, she knows what she wants and she went after her men. Oh, she played hard to get, but once they wore her down she was all in.
Tucker Duke is a cowboy living and running the family ranch. Tucker or T” Bone to me is a dominate, loving, go get her cowboy. From the Stetson hat on his head to the cowboy boots on his feet, he’s all man and he’s not afraid to lay down the beef for the one woman for him and his best friend. I really like T” Bone because he’s rough and tough.
Colton Ridge is the supervisor on the Duke family ranch. I think of him as a big teddy bear that won’t let an opportunity pass him up in the Seed and Feed (you have to read the book to get that one). A little bit of bondage and a whole lot of loving is what I got from Colton.
I rated this book five stars out of five. I don’t know how Ms. Vale mixes comedy and sexy. I laughed at how down to earth and funny the heroes are and then I giggled like a schoolgirl at the really sexy parts, like I was reading something I shouldn’t be reading.

Ava Carter moved to Raines, Montana to leave her pre-planned life and domineering father behind. She may not look like she should be running the Seed and Feed with her manicured nails and high heels, but she fits in better than people realize once they realize just how she used to spend her summers. For the past month, Tucker Duke and Colton Ridge have been ever present at the feed store and just about anywhere else she goes . . . just begging her to say yes And, why shouldn’t she when she knows she’ll be in for the ride of her life.
Ranchers Tucker Duke and Colton Ridge set their sights on Ava from the moment they saw her. They knew she was a spitfire after they found her defending her friend and they couldn’t wait to test our their tiger’s claws! But, these cowboys want much more than a bit of fun . . . they want forever with Ava. She just needs to say yes.
T-Bone was a wild and raunchy read with enough plot to keep things interesting while this trio was out of the bedroom. More sex than story, readers are taken on an adventure when Ava finally decides to tell her cowboys yes.
I will say that I really liked Ava’s character the more we learned about how and why she ended up in Raines. She’s independent and knows what she does and doesn’t want in life and is willing to do what she needs to in order to make sure she is living life on her own terms. I loved that Colton and Tucker were alpha enough to give her what she needs while also letting her take the reins when she needs too!
Readers wanting a super hot and sexy romance look no further! 4 stars for this quick and dirty read.
