Forced to marry a man she just met, Sarah McLeod clings to the hope that she’ ll finally find the love and acceptance she’ s always craved. Her tenuous dreams of a happy life on the frontier are in danger of being dashed by the one thing she can’ t change—her husband’ s love for another man.

Ranch owner Nate Campbell loves them both. He hates to see Jackson’ s loyalties so divided, and doesn’ t want Sarah hurt either. How can they fix the tangled mess they find themselves in? Nate suggests a possible solution—a permanent threesome.

With the open frontier closing in around them, is Nate’ s solution their path to happiness—or will others destroy what they’ ve found together?

5 Stars and a Top Pick: Once again Ms Braemel has made her story come to life and taken me along on the journey ~ Terri, Night Owl Romance

From the Author

Tangled Past was inspired by the "dinner scene" in my contemporary erotic romance Texas Tangle where Grandma Barnett talks about her great-grandparents.

Format:Kindle Edition
Tangled Past by Leah Braemel
* I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Sarah has been treated like hired help rather than family since her mother passed away. She doesn't owe the McLeod's any loyalty but she is still stunned by his reaction when he comes to the barn that night. She never expected her life to change like it did that night she went to the barn to warn the strangers of her brothers plan.

Nate and Jackson are more than friends; they are lovers in a very dangerous world. If they get caught, there is the chance that they will hang from the nearest tree. When they set out to buy horses, they never expected to bring home a bride with them too.

Jackson loves Nate but he has taken vows and he intends to honor them and be a good husband for Sarah. Sarah is slowly falling in love with Jackson but she is afraid he will never be able to love her like he does Nate. He is a good husband and provider but it seems like he is holding a part of himself back.

After Nate's accident, Sarah realizes how much both of these men mean to her. When Jackson purposes a way to include Nate, at first she's hesitant but when she sees how much it means to him, she agrees. She can't believe how wonderful it is between the three of them, she thinks she should feel guilty but she doesn't. Nate comes up with the perfect solution to their living arrangement and they take him up on his offer.

The scenes between Nate and Jackson are tender and loving but filled with intensity. It's obvious they care about each other but they can't have an open relationship because it was unheard of during the 1800's. Their love for Sarah is just as strong and the three of them find a way to make their relationship work.

The Wild West unfolds right before your eyes. While most of the story focuses on ranch life, you also get a glimpse into the dangers ranchers faced, such as rustlers.

The characters are compelling while their relationships are complex. Their story pulls you in right from the beginning. The cast of secondary characters is limited but each character is needed. I loved learning more about Jackson's family and the twist was a nice surprise.

I really enjoyed learning the family history of the Dillon's family from Texas Tangle. I loved Tangled Past and give it 4 Flaming Hearts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book Obsessed Reviews: Tangled Past July 10, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Once Sarah's stepfather catches her in the barn with Jackson, who is in a state of undress, he forces them to marry. Jackson was attracted to Sarah and seen how poorly her stepfather treated her, so he didn't mind marrying her. Except for the fact that he was in love with his best friend Nate.

The triad relationship felt to me like Jackson was the glue that held them together. Sarah was in love with Jackson and he in love with Nate. It didn't seem that Sarah had a relationship with Nate other than friendship. Since Jackson loved him, and she wanted to please him, Sarah invited Nate into their bed.

The overall read was pretty steamy, it just lacked a little on emotional connection

It is 2:15am. I could not go to sleep till I finished this western tail. The emotions Ms. Braemel portraits is just wonderful I was expecting the steamy intimacy, but it was the family and friendship bonds that were an unexpected bonus.

I would defiantly suggest the book if you enjoy escaping to the west. What is better than chaps?

Storyline: Heartfelt

Intimacy: Steamy (MM, MF, MMF/MFM)

Enjoyment: Read in one evening

In January 2010, the reviewers at The Romance Studio nominated PRIVATE PROPERTY for "Best Erotic Romance." Leah was also nominated in the "Best Erotic Romance Author" category. Reviewers have since awarded her books numerous Top Pick and Recommended Reads designations including another nomination for DELIBERATE DECEPTIONS as "Best Contemporary Romance of 2011" while her TANGLED PAST received a Romance Reviews' nomination for "Best Erotic Menage a Trois or more."
