Real Men Will Audiobook (Unabridged)

Just one taste is never enough....

It was meant to be a one-night stand. One night of passion. Scorching-hot. Then Beth Cantrell and Eric Donovan were supposed to go their separate ways. That's the only reason he lied about his name, telling her he was really his wild younger brother. Hiding his identity as the conservative Donovan. The good one.

But passion has its own logic, and Eric finds he can't forget the sable-haired beauty with whom he shared a night of love. When Beth discovers that Eric has lied, however, she knows he can't be trusted. Her mind tells her to forget the blue-eyed charmer. If only every fiber of her being didn't burn to call him back.

"Third book in the Donovan Brothers Brewery series, focus on the older brother Eric. The prior two books have not presented a very warm portrayal of Eric - he seems like an uptight control freak who is quick to snap at and criticize his brother and sister. In all fairness, he did have his life upended when his parents died. He was 24 and suddenly had a business to run and two teenage siblings to raise. All this responsibility, and the resulting stress and anxiety has made Eric a very closed off man. While at a trade show, a woman mistakes Eric for his carefree younger brother Jamie, and Eric doesn't correct her. One night as someone else is a giant relief, a chance to step out of his rut and maybe live a little. But here's his mistake - he thinks his little white lie won't come back to him, that it's just a casual one night stand. Even though he can't stop thinking about Beth months later. Flip to Beth, a small business owner in their same community, who can't stop thinking of the man she met months ago and their one night of passion, the man she knows as Jamie Donovan. See where this is going? Nothing more fierce than a woman scorned, and once Beth figures out she was lied to, she turns Eric's world upside down. Which turns out to be the best thing for them both. I'm impressed with how Victoria Dahl developed the characters in this series. First impression of the brothers was not good in the first book, but the subsequent books bring much richer detail and backstory that provides thorough explanation as to why they are as they are. I was surprised and intrigued with Eric's story, and how he fit into the greater family dynamic. I was pleased that some of the family issues that have provided conflict throughout the three books were better revealed here, with positive hope for getting past old wounds. As in her other books, Dahl brings it with the steamy scenes for Eric and Beth. Very well written and HOT. I enjoyed this book and the two proceeding it. I hope Dahl will revisit these characters one day."
