I’M RIGHT WHERE I WANT TO BE<br /><br />As a loyal reader and fan to Ms. Vanessa Vale’s Bridgewater series, I was so excited when I read that she was adding another series, Return to Bridgewater. In Bridgewater, Montana, the men follow the customs of the small wild country of Mohamir where men, usually in twos and threes, married a woman together. It wasn’t for their needs, but hers—having two husbands ensured the wife would always be protected and cherished. The Montana Territory was just as wild, and the same concerns for a wife existed. <br /><br />Tennessee Bennett was a pawn used by her father to gain money. He planned to marry her off to a wealthy man to cover his gambling debts. The only problem, Mr. Grimsby’s mine had played out, and he was counting on marrying Tennessee, believing she was a railroad heiress. In the end, he kills her father and holds Tennessee and her friend, Abigail Carr hostage for days. Now Grimsby is in jail, and Tennessee is alone.<br /><br />James Carr has waited for Tennessee to grow up and he is ready to claim her, but he wants to include his neighbor and friend, Jonah Wells so that they will have a Bridgewater style marriage. Getting Tennessee to accept isn’t easy, and will involve a rescue, but one compromising situation will alter the original plans.<br /><br />The plot will include secrets, surprises, sassiness, and spankings when James and Jonah confront Tennessee and rescue her. Her innocence doesn’t keep her from being curious and open to exploring with James and Jonah. Getting caught wasn’t the plan but won’t change the way the men planned to live and love her. Why hasn’t she shared her secret and what needs to happen with her men? Will misunderstandings get in the way and cause trouble? <br /><br />“Guidance and a stern hand are required. She needed love. Attention. Comfort. But also consequences and boundaries she’d not received growing up.”<br /><br />These stories by Vanessa Vale will take the reader on a fascinating journey of dominance, submission, passion and erotic sexual scenes. The cast of characters are fierce, loyal and passionate in and out of the bedroom, the women are strong but willingly submit, and the men are dominant and very protective. Bridgewater men possess their wive’s in both body and soul. Nothing is considered inappropriate. These stories are extremely explicit in sexual detail in a loving and fulfilling relationship.<br /><br />“While it seemed to be somewhat out of our control, perhaps it turned out better this way. Perhaps it was fate giving us all a nudge.”<br />

Their Rebellious Bride is book ten in the Bridgewater Menage series by Vanessa Vale. In Bridgewater in 1885, a beautiful woman named Tennessee Bennett longed to find someone to love, but her father wanted her to marry for money. However, something happens, and James Carr and Jonah Wells come to the rescue when they realise she is in trouble. The readers of Their Rebellious Bride will continue to follow Tennessee Bennett to discover what happens. <br /><br />Their Rebellious Bride is a fantastic addition to this excellent series by Vanessa Vale. I enjoyed reading Their Rebellious Bride, which allowed me to forget my problems for a couple of hours. I loved Vanessa Bennett's portrayal of her characters and their interaction throughout this book. Their Rebellious Bride is well-written and researched by Vanessa Vale. I like Vanessa Vale's description of the setting of Their Rebellious Bride, which complements the book's plot. <br /><br />I recommend this book if you enjoy erotic romances.

Their Rebellious Bride is the first book in the Return to Bridgewater series, connected to Ms. Vale’s historical Bridgewater Ménage series. Tennessee has been saved from a rotten suitor by her best friend, and now her best friend’s brother is determined that they will marry. But Tennessee is keeping a secret that could tarnish the bond she’s building with James and Jonah. Will the men’s dominant ways and her secret drive them apart or could they build something real?<br /><br />Oh my goodness, I was so thrilled to be back with the historical Bridgewater lifestyle! Tennessee, James, and Jonah grabbed my attention right from the very beginning of the book and had me flipping pages and only wanting more at the end! I loved how steamy their connection was, loved how they all kind of had to adjust their thinking of what a marriage should be like, but ultimately were there for each other when needed. Tennessee might have seemed a little rebellious at times, but she had a really good reason as to why she acted strangely. James and Jonah were able to provide different things to Tennessee, love and support, discipline and structure, and even though they may have misunderstood her at times, they only wanted what was best for her. This book was filled with finding that unique love, lots of delightful chemistry, and I am so excited for more books in this series!

The Rebellious Bride by Vanessa Vale is a new Bridgewater, Montana series. The main characters are Tennessee, Jonah and James and this is their red-hot story. What's great is Vanessa Vale re-visits her Bridgewater series but it's the historical town instead of the modern day one. This is a historical romance that has M/F/M. Jonah and James are ready to claim spunky and sassy Tennessee. Their love story will have you rooting for their steamy HEA. Full of feels, romance, drama, action and romance. <br /><br /><br />My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

Oh I love visiting Bridgwater! I can never get enough of these ruggedly tough Alphas with their sweet hearts and dirty mouths.<br />Vanessa Vale is one of my automatic one-click authors. I can always count on her to bring me a sexy, steamy story that always leaves me completely satisfied. Their Rebellious Bride lived up to every expectation that I had and then some. <br />I loved Tennessee's sassy attitude and independence. James and Jonah are her perfect match and I couldn't get enough of their story. <br />If you are looking for a fun quick sexy read, I highly recommend you pick this one up!

*3.5 STARS*<br /><br />Woah, that had a lot going on in a short book. Young girl who gets pulled into a web where a man wants her to work for her supper so to speak, the man who saves her, she runs away from, then other older guy who is old enough to be her father is getting in on with her almost as soon as he meets her. Oh, and there's some spanking and also a menage. <br /><br />No one can say that Ms. Vale doesn't pack a punch with her books!<br /><br />I can't say that the plot development is 5 star but these short little books are a pornucopia! James and Jonah sure did give young Tennessee an education. LOL

1.5ish <br />I understand the need for dominance and this and that, but I feel like here is more like masking an abduction and rape and wrapping it nicely. <br /><br />Meh... disappointing and it rubs me the wrong way ?

Welcome back to Bridgewater! Tennessee’s father plans to sell her off to the highest bidder in marriage so that he can pay of his gambling debts. When he ends up dead, Tennessee is on her own. Jonah and James have just been waiting for Tennessee to grow into the woman they know is theirs. Great read with off the charts hot steam and an entertaining story. I loved it!

Hot, dominant cowboy types? Yes, please. Vanessa Vale must've heard my thoughts and decided to gift me with not one, but two hot cowboys, James and Jonah, who have to go claim their bride, Tennesse. <br /><br />Tennessee managed to get herself into trouble, and when her friend Abigail came to rescue her, so did her two husbands and her big brother, James. Before James went after Tennie, he told his neighbor Jonah that he wanted to have a Bridgewater marriage and he wanted Jonah to be the second husband. <br /><br />Well, as you may guess, Tennessee wasn't all that thrilled by being told that she was going to be marrying James, and she had no problems letting him know that. I got a laugh at what she did. I thought it was a nice bit of improv and showed that she can really think on her feet. Smart young woman. <br /><br />I like James and Jonah. I think that James gets a little mired in self-pity a couple of times, but mostly he's a good guy. Jonah is a good and honorable man, who is always going to do what he thinks is the right thing. <br /><br />I can't wait to see what's going to happen in the rest of the series.
