Anna can’t believe how much the woman in the picture looks like her. They could be twins, except the picture was taken in 1871. Either she’s a relative, or Anna had a past life in Hamilton, Nevada. Either way, the temptation to visit the old ghost town is too much. She and her friend Kat travel west.

While off exploring on her own, Anna is knocked unconscious when she falls down the steps in the saloon. She can hardly believe her eyes when she wakes.

Beau and Zeke won the Silver Rush Saloon in a poker game and have been partners and secret lovers for over ten years. They don’t know what to make of the woman they found half-dressed in their cellar. She claims to know something terrible that’s about to happen to their town and needs their help.

Will Anna be able to win their love and trust before it’s too late?

Review:
While not one for the time travel genre, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Ms. Martine's newest release. I had fallen in love with her writing for Table for Three and was anxious to read this one. I was prepared to set aside the idea of time travel but Martine had me hooked from the moment Anna Oakland was introduced. Then when she added in Beau and Zeke, I fell in love with the book.

The way Martine explores, describes and expresses all the characters is breathtaking. Her dialogue, kept within the era it's meant to be, is flawless and remarkable. I highly recommend this book to all lovers of romance and menage. Martine weaves a fabulous tale that left me literally begging for more. The HEA ending added just the perfect touch to a very erotic menage romance. I've read numerous of Martine's previous works and she never ceases to amaze me with her writing style.

Cass Abernathy is forty-three and she's getting a second chance at life, and maybe even love. She's finally divorced, after years of abuse, when she learns an unknown uncle in Oregon has left her his estate, and more importantly, his house. Filled with hope for her future and excited to have a place of her own, Cass heads west not knowing what she'll find.

What she finds are hot and sexy twin brothers intent on making her a part of their lives. It's too bad they're so much younger because they bring out feelings she's never had before.

Meanwhile, there's someone else interested in Cass' inheritance, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he wins.

Will Cass overcome her fears and open her heart to the two men who love her, and will she discover the truth about her inheritance before it's too late?

Review:
Cass Abernathy is heading into middle age, divorced recently from an abusive spouse and she has no self-esteem. She feels unattractive, has the normal negative appearance view of herself and is not looking for love when she moves to a small town after inheriting a ramshackle of a house from an uncle she never knew about. Tossed between foster homes throughout her life, all Cass ever wanted was a place to call home.

Twins brothers Matt and David Carlisle have a special connection and both feel an effect from Cass. She is the woman they want...to share. She is the woman they've been waiting for. But Cass seems quite skittish, withdrawn and not interested.

Her uncle's attorney, Oliver, is making Cass leery and she tries to pull away from him as the story evolves. His presence, constant attention and words to detour her from the brothers really bothers Cass.

Cass is very interested because the brothers bring out a person she never knew she was or could be. The brothers court her. Cass' past fears cause the brothers to work a little harder than they had hoped to win her love and heart. Cass' inheritance bring to light a nice scandalous and riveting storyline problem. This little dilemma adds quite a snafu to the storyline. Martine adds the perfect amount of suspense and perplexity to the plot when she wrote these scenes.

The novel is erotic and Martine fulfills the definition with an abundance of menage scenes with Cass and the twins as well as personal time with each brother. The scenes were beautifully written, very descriptive and left little to the imagination. Martine's writing style is superb and she makes the characters likable so you're rooting for their love.

I highly recommend this book. Martine has definitely won over a new fan with me. Her dialogue made me feel compassion for Cass, at a few points I was almost yelling at Cass to watch out for Oliver and I was seconds from breaking into a sexual sweat with the scenes she created with Cass, Matt and David. I won't spoil the ending, just be forewarned, you will fall in love with this story.

Serena Dammler is recovering from a savage beating and needs protection. Cowboys and lovers Marc Weller and Tony Estabon are taking jobs as bounty-hunters, and their newest assignment is to capture her attacker and return him to Texas. They take one look at Serena’s fragile beauty and decide she’d be the perfect third to their family.

Serena’s always dreamed of catching herself a rich man, and she’d do just about anything to make that dream come true. She’s not going to allow herself to fall in love with her two cowboy protectors, no matter how sexy they are.

Marc and Tony want Serena as their third, but they want her love to be real and not based on their bank accounts. So what will it hurt if they take her to a little cabin on their ranch and pretend to be simple cowboys?

Review:
Catch Her When She Falls was an amazing read. Serena was known in the town for being a trouble maker and a slut. All she ever wanted was to marry a rich man, someone who would take care of her. Her latest victim was Cass, a woman who escaped her ex-husband after beating her. Cass was in love with twin brothers whom Serena wanted as well. Serena makes a call to Cass's ex brother-in-law to get a message to her ex-husband. Little did Serena know the man was coming and coming to see her to get more information about Cass. When Serena would not tell him where she was she got beat up pretty bad. Marc and Tony come to the aid to help find this ex-husband of Cass's and bring him back to Texas. They were about to find a big surprise in Serena.

I love this book for several reasons, the characters were all well written and the information about the places in Texas sounded correct. Marc and Tony are easy to like from the very beginning. It just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover and never listen to rumors that are not true. The racy scenes are tasteful and well written. A little on the hot side so be prepared to fan yourself.
