It’s been ten years since Parker Drew and Gus Duke have seen each other, but it’s like no time has passed. They were hot and heavy back then and the spark’s still there now. But they’re no longer fumbling kids and they know what they want… what they need. For Parker, that’s giving up control to more than one guy. Gus is more than willing to deliver because he wants to share a woman with Kemp … woman with Kemp and Poe. One look and he knows that’s Parker. All three big cowboys are going to give her everything she ever imagined… times three. Oh, she’ll get so much more than just the tip.
Remember: With a Vanessa Vale book, one cowboy is never enough. In this smokin’ hot series, each heroine gets an extra helping (or two) of Grade-A Beefcake.

This book takes everything you expect from a menage romance and kicks it up a notch! It’s so hot, it melted my kindle into a puddle!
Parker and Gus were sweethearts, having had one perfect summer together, before going off to different colleges to pursue their careers. Years later, Parker is back in their home town, and just as attracted to Gus as she ever was. She was never able to quite let go of that perfect summer! Gus has also spent a lot of time thinking about Parker. She was the one that got away, the one that he compared everyone else to.
This book was just amazing. I can’t get over how awesome it was. It was everything I look for in a menage romance and more. It had heat, instant attraction, commitment, enduring love, plus a little second chance romance thrown in there. This was a fun read, especially if you like your romance with a little something extra!
Tri-Tip is another hot and sexy story from the ever so talented Vanessa Vale. This is a great book with three yes three hot veterinarians Gus, Poe and Kemp and one sexy sheriff Parker. This is a book that is definitely steamy and hot this story will have you fanning yourself though out the whole book. Tri-Tip is book 3 in the Grade-A Beefcakes series and keeps up with the sexiness as the first two. I have to say I absolutely loved Parker she is one woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. I absolutely recommend this sexy book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A well written menage that is smokin hot. I loved that they were veterinarians. The beginning of the story is great between Honey and Parker. She just adopted Parker whether she liked it or not. Gus, Kemp and Poe had varying levels of dominance and each one meet a need of Parkers. Together they were dynamite. If you like you menage hot and spicy then this is series is for you.
Holy hotness! This story is great and so are the characters! I love a good love triangle this just adds one more so I guess it’s a love square?! Lol This was the first book of Vanessa’s I have read but I will definitely be going back and reading more from the “Beefcakes” series
Wow this book was absolutely FILTHY and I Loved it! Not only is it a erotic romance with three men sharing one woman it’s also a second chance romance. After being years apart Parker and Gus reconnect but now Gus has two new hot men as his best friends. Not to mention they are sweet vets, who doesn’t love a man that takes care of animals? Not much has changed between the pair except adding two more men making the group complete. Kemp and Poe were fantastic and I love the instant love aspect the story had. I was a touch lost since Gus mentions guys from the first two books but it didn’t really affect my understanding of the story. Overall dirty hot and an enjoyable read I give it four stars. – By Tiffany
Vanessa Vale is a goddess when it comes to writing a good menage book! She has again created characters that I really liked. TRI-TIP is about Parker, Gus (who readers have met in the other books in this series), and his friends Kemp and Poe. And she definitely brings some steam in this one.
This was a great book. It definitely had great characters (loved Parker most!), but it also emphasized strength. Parker is a really strong character, but she also has a very soft side that does get a little bruised in this book, but it definitely gets mended. She is not only strong because she can handle three men in a relationship, but strong in her confidence within herself and how she handles things.
The guys are no slouches either, but Poe has a bit of a backstory that I think showed a bit of self-consciousness. But Parker is able to help him in this, as are the other two men in the book. This is a story of a strong quartet, and I loved how once push came to shove they were all able to work out their issues.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book. The characters were great and the story was engaging. There is a strong female character, which I absolutely enjoyed, and dominant men that made it a spicy read! Great addition to Grade-A Beekcake series and I am definitely looking forward to seeing what else the author has up her sleeves. Two thumbs up for me! Happy reading!!
Tri-Tip is the third book in the Grade-A Beefcakes series. Parker is the interim sheriff, moving closer to home to be close to her mom, but she doesn’t realize that helping a stranded dog is about to change her life. She runs into Gus, her old boyfriend and now vet, as she gets the dog checked out, and soon she’s meeting his two best friends, all intent on sharing Parker. Knowing she has unconventional needs, can Gus, Poe, and Kemp be everything that Parker wants and needs?
This book was simply delightful, with passion and heart and drama, all sucking me in and winning my heart! I love Parker, Gus, Poe, and Kemp! Parker had such an intense job, but she was willing to trust and submit to three men, so she was so strong! Gus, Poe, and Kemp all had different personalities, fulfilled different needs within Parker, and I loved that Poe had some issues he needed to work out when dealing with a strong and independent female. I think one of my favorite aspects about this book was that their relationship moves so quickly and very physically, that there’s issues they need to work out when real life seems to jump in. The passion between the four of these characters was intense and they all jumped right in with two feet. I have been loving this series, loved this addition, and love Ms. Vale’s writing!
I received an Advance Reader Copy of the book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
So… I’m either getting used to the vibe of this series or it is actually getting better with each book, because I did enjoy Tri-Tip better than T-Bone and Sirloin of Beef. I’m not saying I loved it, but it was fun and the characters were developed a bit more (despite the fact that there were more of them). I enjoyed the fact that Parker is not your typical heroine (though her size and features are brought up repetitively) and how her 3 men deal with her profession in such different (yet realistic) way. Now I really am excited to read about the Duke cousin and especially excited to get the Duke sister’s HEA! 3 out of 5 wine glasses.
Tri-Tip is the 3rd book in the “Grade-A Beefcakes” series and can be read as a standalone. This story is of 3 cowboys, Gus, Kemp and Poe- they are looking for the right woman to share their lives and their bed.
Parker was Gus’s high school sweetheart and first love returns back to town as the temporary Sheriff. Gus starts thinking he’s found the one for them. When he runs into Parker at their Vet clinic, he introduces Parker to Kemp and Poe. All 3 men feel this instant connection to Parker. Only thing is, would she be willing to be with 3 men ? Is this the kind of life that Parker can see- 3 cowboys and the Sheriff ?
Parker is shocked when she meets Gus’s partners at the Vet Clinic. She doesn’t understand her chemistry, her connection to these 3 men. Could they be the ones she has been always looking for? What she has always been looking for? This story is full of heat, sizzle, romance, drama heart and soul.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
I’m loving this series! This is a book about second chances and new beginnings. Gus and Parker previously dated but when college separates them they both went their separate ways. Now Parker is a lawyer with police training and when the job as Sheriff in her hometown opens she accepts the position but there is a caveat- she is not going to be on the ballot for re-election. Gus and his friends, Poe and Kemp, met in veterinary school and open a practice together in Gus’ hometown. Parker and Gus get their second chance and Poe and Kemp are there with them. Will their relationship work out or will one of the guys cause irreparable damage to their budding romance? Another fantastic book by this author!! I can’t wait to see what she puts out next!!
The Duke family totally live up to their nicknames and every book in this series just gets hotter than the last!
Vale once again sucks me straight into this world of secy cowboys who like to share one woman and one police chief who knows what she wants even if it isn’t conventional. I absolutely could not get enough of this one. I love this series but I think this one may be my favorite! I can’t wait to see what Vale brings us with the next in this series.
If you are like me and love a fun, hot, steamy, quick read then this is the one for you!
I received a free copy of the book from the author.
Tri-Tip is extra saucy with four men and one woman. Don’t think it’s raunchy as it isn’t. Author Vanessa Vale has done a great job at keeping this book tasteful all the while adding a plot to the story.
We have two old flames that seemingly add two other to their relationship. Parker is the local Sheriff and Gus, Kemp, and Poe are the local Veterinarians. No conflict of interest there for sure!
There is some tension with Parker’s job. You know alpha men like to know their main squeeze is safe. Well her job is anything but. Thankfully they’re in a relatively small town so they don’t have to worry about her getting into too much trouble from criminals.
All’s fair in love and war right? Once these four get down to it there really is no question that Parker’s the right woman for them and they for her. I think you’ll enjoy this edition of the Grade A Beefcakes.
Be sure to tell me what you think!
Fantastic Book!
Tri-Tip is the third book in the Grade-A Beefcake series.
I loved Gus, Parker, Kemp and Poe’s story! Gus and Parker are getting a second chance at romance and are bringing Kemp and Poe along with them! Three hot sexy Vets and one sexy sheriff make for a hot, sexy romance! I couldn’t put it down! I love this series?
Vanessa has written another fantastic book! I can’t wait for the next one!
Tri Tip was my first time reading Vanessa Vale. This was touted as a standalone book, but I feel like I would have gotten more out of it had I read books one and two first. Overall, it was about empowerment, and going after the things in life that are right for you.
Our plot leads Parker and Gus back together after ten years. Both have grown a lot-both in a physical sense and in ways of the world. After being hot and heavy together in high school, they parted ways. But fate brings them back together in their old hometown. I liked seeing how both characters grew in their time apart. A good second chance romance is always fun. This one has the added hunkiness and drama of two extra cowboys in Kemp and Poe.
I think I liked Parker the most out of all the characters. She’s not just strong, she’s vulnerable and shows her humanity and is easy to relate to. She strives to understand those around her, and herself; to make the world a better place and make all the hard decisions. Gus is excited to have a second chance with Parker. But now he has his two best friends with him in his veterinary practice and in life. They are looking for a woman who can be with all of them. Which works out well for Parker who is looking for more than one man in her life.
Holy heck, nothing forced or stilted here! Only smoking hot cowboys and one cowgirl. It starts off a little crazy for me with Parker’s trust in the three, but it works for the book. And before long, panties are lost and lives are entwined (and limbs, so many). The three men have such distinct styles that I think it helps with the flow of not only the book but their love and sex.
This was a very fast paced book. Super easy to read in one quick but steamy setting. It was a fairly understandable book, though I wish I had the backstory of books one and two to help with some of the characters and setting. I liked how the author dealt with the stereotypes and differences to show that love is love and tolerance and understanding are of utmost importance.
This book was a erotic feel good read. It wrapped everything up neatly for the reader, even when the reader is stuck in a world where things aren’t neat, tidy, or full of the book’s tolerance and understanding. I can’t say I’m going to go search out all of this authors books and read them all, but this one was a great weekend read and should I find others on my reading list, I know I’ll enjoy them.

Tri-Tip is book three in the Beefcakes series by Vanessa Vale. In this book we are getting to know Gus Duke, the third brother of the Duke family.
Gus is the youngest of the three Duke brothers. He is so happy for his two older brothers. Each of them chose to wait until they found the right woman that they could share with their best friend, and each brother had found that woman, they had found love. But Gus had to be different. He wanted to find a woman that he could share with not one but two of his best friends. He didn’t even know if such a woman existed. Gus is a veterinarian and shares a practice with his two best friends, Kemp and Poe. The three of them had gone to Vet school together and now not only shared a practice but also shared a home.
Parker Drew was Gus’s high school sweetheart. They were each other’s first everything. But when it came time to leave for college, they had different plans. Gus was going to Vet school and Parker wanted to go to law school. So, they parted ways. She’s been gone ten years. But now her mother is having some health issues and she wants to be closer to her. A position opened up as a temporary sheriff in Raines, Montana, where her mom lived, so she took it. She knew she’d run into Gus sooner or later. She wondered if he’d even remember her after all this time. On her rounds, Parker comes across a stray dog needing medical attention. A trip to the town Vet brings her face to face with Gus and his two very good looking partners. That something was definitely still there between she and Gus but she was also feeling something between she and his two other partners!
Gus had seen Parker previously but wasn’t able to speak with her at the time but he knew right away that this was their second chance. Parker was always the one that got away. But she was back now. He wasn’t going to let her get away again. He had done nothing but talk about her to Kemp and Poe so when she walked in to their office, they felt like they already knew her.
When Parker is at work, she has to be in charge. But away from work, she wants someone else to take over and make her forget about the stress of the day. Gus, Poe and Kemp are dominant. Especially Kemp. So it’s a perfect match. Except that a bad experience in Poe’s past makes him fearful of Parker’s job. He doesn’t want her in danger. He’s not sure if he can accept what she does for a living.
You know this had to be a steamy one with three hot men and one sexy police chief. With Gus and Parker, it’s a second chance love story, but with Parker and Kemp and Poe, it’s pretty much love/lust at first sight. But of course, there are a few bumps in the road they will need to work through before they can see if things will work out.
I am loving this series. It’s so much fun. I love this family. The three brothers have a younger sister who they are all ultra protective of so I’m thinking she might get her story next. But, I feel sorry for the men she falls for. They better be tough is all I can say!
Loved the story. Gus, Poe and Kemp are looking for the one woman that will make them a family and in walks Parker. As teenagers, Parker and Gus had a relationship but went their separate ways when they went away to college. Now that she is back they acknowledge those old feelings are still there. The story is well written, it draws you into the relationship the three of them share. It is a great read and I would highly recommend this book and the series.
Holy Shiitake Mushrooms, Tri-Tip may be my favorite Vanessa Vale book!
Tri-Tip is ultra sexy with three alpha heroes for our curvy heroine! Its packed full with second chance romance and personal redemption.
I love that I always know that Ms. Vale will give me an entertaining sexy story with a happily ever after!
4 Letting Her Men Take Care of Her Stars!!!
With each book in this series it seems they get hotter and hotter. With this book we don’t have a ménage relationship we have a quad relationship…three men and one woman and holy moly are they H.O.T. together.
The difference in this book is that one of the men in the relationship, Gus Duke and Parker used to be lovers several years ago and they were each other’s firsts! Needless to say, they’ve both matured and learned new things since they last saw each other and they’ve both discovered, the more people involved the better!!
I loved everything about this book. Each man in this relationship has their own strengths and weaknesses and they work so well together in and out of the bedroom. Because they’re all somewhat alpha, although one is more alpha than the others, it allows Parker to submit and be taken care of which is what she needs to relieve the stress of being the temporary Sheriff of their tiny town.
If you’re looking for a quick, sexy and dirty read that has lots of heart, this is the book and series for you!
