Divine Phoenix [Divine Creek Ranch 10] (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

3.5 star readI enjoy this series by Heather Rainier. She writes full length menage fiction with real people involved. Ok yes, the guys are super protective and always know what (or who) they want but that's all part if the fantasy.In this story we meet Lily who has been abused mentally and physically by her husband. He's described as a sadistic bastard and he really is. Over the years Lily has lost herself and after walking in on her husband having sex with another woman she makes a break.What I loved about this story is we see the damage that's been done and just how much effort will go into reclaiming her life. Lily had her dad and 2 amazing guys helping her out but its so easy to see why so many women stay with abusive partners. So with little money and quite a bit of physical damage we see Lily work to gain control and the author does a great job showing the everyday struggle this would involve.Sadly, Ms Rainier still can't seem to get a flow going with her love scenes. What should be steamy and exciting somehow isn't. The mechanical descriptions are there but the rhythm isn't. Knowing they all love each other helps but the issue remains. A series book by author Heather Rainier but can be read independently as a stand alone book.Clay and Del, brothers, have always thought of Lily Valentine King as their own. But her family moves out of the area and they loose touch. Lily marries a man who turns out to be a sadistic abusive man who leaves a permanent personal message on her. She finally leaves him to return to her childhood home town and the men who were her best friends.This has some transition issue problems for me. I did get distracted trying to keep up with the scenes and such but enjoyed the overall story and chemistry/relationship between the central figures. The menage action doesn't occur until the later part of the book but there are juicy m/f scenes that have a definite heat factor to them. There are hints of BDSM but no actual scenes occur.I was a little disappointed that the abusive husband slant wasn't used more strategically but that's the author's choice and I just am saying that my personal view is I didn't like it as written. The subplots in the story were good and added to the book as a whole. I do see the set ups for future characters so this series has more coming for the future.
