Great read. I couldn’t stop. Author went straight into the story and held my interest throughout until the end which I must admit was not expected. The book showed great development of the characters and no doubt will be read again and again. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I definitely would recommend this book for anyone interested in Montana, cowboys and interesting heroines.
Loved this story!
Dane lost everything when his mom died. His connection with his twin, his heritage, and any security his mom had provided. Now he is determined to get it back.
Things turn steamy when he meets Stella, the general manager who wants her father’s approval.
I loved the twists and the ups and downs.
Oh, this story! Dane keeps you bouncing between wanting him for yourself and wanting to tie him to a chair and yelling “tell her the truth!” Stella is the woman we all want to be. She is smart, sexy and has a great head on her shoulders. Her only downfall is trusting her father to finally give her what she deserves and falling for a man who hides too much from her.
I loved the spark and quick combustion of their love affair. I adored the way he kept stepping up and taking care of her like no one ever has. I was wrapped up in the visions of the settings because it sounded exactly like my fantasy getaway.
The drive of Dane and Ethan to reclaim what they believe is theirs is inspiring. As is the determination of Stella to claim what she feels she has earned. The sorrow of this couple is heartbreaking and clearly you have to work at blaming anyone. But Dane and Stella’s father hold equal blame for her pain. Dane’s stepfather holds ultimate blame for creating the whole mess.
I loved the conclusion so much that I can’t wait for Ethan’s story to begin.
Worth fighting for!

I received an ARC for an honest review.
Stella and Dane have serious chemistry. This is a quick but really fun read. Jules Bennett did not disappoint, and I can’t wait for Ethan’s story.
This is the first book in Jules Bennett’s new duet & I love the brothers Dane & Ethan. This is Dane’s book & in this one he wants to get back the spa that had been his mother’s. He meets Stella who is running the spa and he is intrigued by her. Stella has no idea who he is, that he has a plan to get the spa back into his family.
Montanta Seduction is the first book in a new duet by Jules Bennett and it is a solid 4 ½ star read for me. It features Dane and Ethan, twin brothers who lost their mother and then lost their mothers business to their stepfather. It’s been 20 years but now the boys have the business and stepfather in their sights to reclaim what was theirs.
Dane travels to Mirage resort while Ethan travels to Sunset Cove. Each brother with a set mission in place to do whatever it takes, to get back his mother’s business. Dane doesn’t count on meeting Stella though, and that could be a make or break situation.
Stella wants to own Mirage free and clear and her father has given her 6 months to turn the business around. After some extremely poor previous management (that he hired no less), she is finally seeing her dream become a reality. Her gut is telling her though that it will never be enough. She wasn’t born a boy and an heir is all her father every wanted. Her mother died during childbirth so her father blames her more or less for just about everything.
Dane and Stella have a pretty instantaneous connection that is full of heat, passion and secrets. Even as Dane tells Stella he wants to buy the resort, she can’t get enough. Will she ever be able to trust him? Can she give up her dream for their connection?
Dane finds a new will inside himself to not only make his stepfather pay and to carry on his mothers dream. But finds a new dream that includes Stella and all she has come to represent. His new obstacle is finding a way to convince her to give their relationship a chance.
Stella is hurt when she finds out who Dane really is and what he was trying to accomplish. She is tired of being lied to and told it’s all about the bottom dollar. She wants Mirage and have the dream she has pictured in her mind all these months. But does that dream now include Dane?
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy without expectations. All opinions expressed are my own. This book is a great start to this duet and I can’t wait to see how bachelor Ethan loses his focus momentarily, in the quest to take down their stepfather and save their mother’s dream.
What another wonderful book by Jules Bennett. Dane is a loner working his ranch. He is haunted by the war he served in and what happened to him. He goes to the resort his mom owned but was taken away from him and his brother Ethan by theorists dad. While there he starts out just by helping Stella out when she needs to. She is trying to get the numbers turned around so her dad will let her keep it and run it. While there Dane opens his heart but sneaks off. Stella comes to find him and is so upset when she finds out who he really is. Can they overcome everything and make each other happy? A wonderful love story.
Completely thrilled to read this in exchange for my honest opinion! I absolutely loved this story that had PLENTY of the steamy scenes we crave as readers ! Dane & Stella both have undeniable chemistry & he sure played the seduction game well with Stella ! Excellent job making us hate Stella’s dad & cheering these two on! A must have for all … wish the Mirage resort was real !!
Passion and secrets are in the air! With the first book in the Two Brothers duet, we meet Dane and get some insight into the plan he and his brother have to get back what was rightfully theirs. Dane doesn’t expect to like Stella so much when he arrives at the resort, but there’s no going back from the plan. He only hopes she can forgive him! An interesting premise comes to life with another side of the story yet to come. Down to earth characters, secrets being uncovered and lots of passion flying … can’t wait for Ethan’s story!
Stella Garcia is enjoying managing a luxury resort in the beautiful setting of Gold Valley, Montana, but she’ll enjoy it even more when it belongs to her. She’s tried all of her life to please her perfectionist father and hopes beyond hope that the way she’s turned this property around will finally do the trick and have him signing it over to her.
Rancher Dane Michaels also has his eye on the resort … and the gorgeous manager in charge. He might have to use a little subterfuge, but he’ll get what’s his in the end. Getting to know Stella has him wishing it didn’t have to go down quite the way it does though.
OMG! This book was incredible! Dane is an instantly relatable character and the chemistry he shares with Stella manager of his stolen inheritance is scorching hot. I loved this book and can’t wait for his brother’s story.
Dane saves Stella when he steps up and prepare dinner for hotel guests.
Both of them has their own agendas. He wants what should be his, which is this hotel. She wants to prove to her father that she can run this hotel.
The more time they spend together, the more feelings is on the line.
What will happen when all truth comes to the light?
Great story. Enjoyed a lot.
Jules Bennett continues to put out amazing books!
I love this story between Dane & Stella. They both want the same thing, the Mirage resort; and they have both gone through a lot to get it. I enjoyed watching them navigate their feelings; that they tried so hard to hide; in order to figure out that together, they could have it all and be so much stronger because of it.
Montana Seduction is a hot, steamy love story about one person fighting to reclaim an inheritance and the other trying to succeed and earn her father’s love. Deception and secrets threaten to destroy the relationship that Stella and Dane are building. I loved that the characters were flawed and vulnerable but also strong and resilient. This was an amazingly written story that kept the reader enthralled until the very end.
I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher but all thoughts and feelings are my own.
I LOVED MONTANA SEDUCTION!!!! (Yes cap yelling LOL). Dane and his brother Ethan’s late mom owned the Mirage and it was stolen from them by her late husband (their stepfather). Dane comes to the resort under an assumed name to get learn more about Stella (the owners daughter). Dane comes to the rescue by cooking meals his first night there when the chef quits. After that they spend more a more time together. Dane’s still trying to buy the resort but is finding that Stella is great at running the resort. The chemistry is off the charts. I loved how he helped her relax in the tub. I cried when he showed her his scars. The story was so good you wont want to stop reading. I love how she stood up to home at his ranch when she found out he was the new owner. I don’t like to reveal too much of the story but I thought it was very believable in the end when they decided to take it slow but revealed their love. I can’t wait to read Ethan’s story next.
“Montana Seduction” by Jules Bennett is book one of her Two Brothers duet and features Dane Michaels and Stella Garcia.
Dane wants to reclaim the Mirage, an adults-only resort in Gold Valley, Montana. The resort was built and owned by his mother until her death when her husband sold the property out from under Dane and his brother.
Stella manages the Mirage and believes her father will give her ownership after she proves she is more than capable.
Dane finds ways to step in and help Stella with aspects of running the resort and Stella accepts his assistance when normally she’d stand on her own.
These two have a goal and neither plan to let their attraction get in the way. Until, of course, it does.
With a secondary storyline with Dane’s brother, Ethan, secrets and seduction combine in this latest Jules Bennett title.
