REVIEWS for Patton's Way [Cattleman's Club 1]

Joyfully Recommended: "Patton’s Way deserves a warning on the cover “hottest book of the fall” as far as I am concerned. I loved how Ms. Penn had all of the characters play off each other’s strengths and desires. I thought it was a riot that every time Patton thought she was controlling a situation, she somehow wound up losing, not a bad position to be in with these three hunks. I picked up this first in a series on a whim and now I am hooked and impatiently waiting for Hailey’s story to come out. I do warn you that you will not want to read this story in public if you are one who blushes easily or you will have a lot of explaining to do as this book will raise your heart rate in a just a few pages. I am Joyfully Recommending Patton’s Way. Is the next book out yet?" --Tanya, Joyfully Reviewed.

5 Bookmarks: "I absolutely LOVED Patton's Way: Cattleman's Club, Book 1!  I would rank this as one of my favorite stories of the year. Remember the name Jenny Penn as I predict this author as a true rising star among authors. This story hooked me right from the beginning and never let go, I couldn't put the book down. The plot twists and turns and the friction and heat between the brothers and Patton explode like an inferno. Patton's Way: Cattleman's Club, Book 1 is outstanding and I can't wait for the next story in this series, Hailey's Game. This story will turn you on like no other." -- Daria Wright, Wild on Books

5 Blue Ribbons: "Oh wow! I simply wasn’t able to put this book down once I started reading. Patton is such a spunky little obstinate fireball that I couldn’t wait to found out what she’d do and whom she’d involve in her schemes. Chase, Slade and Devin obviously love her but they feel a need to protect her from their lifestyle and are clueless as to how to handle her seductive maneuvering. Patton's Way roused all sorts of emotions in me - everything from tears to laughter and even a little envy...ok, a lot of envy. I’m now anxiously awaiting upcoming books in this series - especially HAILEY'S GAME which will have Patton's friend, Hailey, who is the subject of Cole and Kyle’s desire. Cole and Hailey's antagonism for each other is just too intense not to result in a seriously passionate relationship and I'm really anxious to find out how Kyle fits into the mix." -- Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies Reviews.

STORY EXCERPT

“Now, you know when a man walks in on you fucking yourself and doesn’t offer you a hand that he’s not interested.” Patton sighed.

“I don’t know.” Hailey still hadn’t stopped giggling. “Maybe it has something to do with him being your brother.”

“Don’t start with that crap. Chase is not even my step-brother,” Patton corrected quickly. “We’re not related.”

“Technically, but he probably still thinks of himself as your protector.” Hailey belched after making that declaration. “They’re not related to me either, but they still manage to drive me insane with their pompous attitude.”

“Pompous.” Patton snickered. “I’d say it was more as if it were a God complex. They think they rule the world and we should be happy to be allowed into their kingdom.”

“They treat us as if we’re still eight.”

“Eight-year-olds don’t have boobs like these.” Patton pointed to her chest.

“Some do. Some of them fashion cover models aren’t old enough to drive. Of course, most of them probably aren’t virgins by the time they start to drive.”

“Gee, thanks, Hailey.” Patton gave her friend an insincere smile. “Make me feel better, why don’t you?”

“Hey, don’t whine to me. You don’t have to be a virgin. You could have had the whole alphabet from Adam to Zack if you wanted by now.”

“I’m waiting for the right man.” Patton began to pick at the label on her bottle, venting her annoyance on the stubborn sticker.

“Technically three men, which makes you the sluttiest virgin I’ve ever heard of.”

“I love Chase, Slade and Devin, but if it isn’t to be, I guess I’ll find myself three other hunks to gang bang me. God knows there are enough ripped men running around Atlanta to scratch any kind of itch.”

“Really? Then why haven’t you?”

Patton’s shoulders slumped. “I guess I just wanted to be in love with a guy before we had sex.”

“That’s sweet.”

“It’s stupid.”

“No, it isn’t. Following three men around like a love sick puppy when all they do is pat you on the head and tell you ‘good, girl’, that’s stupid.”

“I do not follow them around like a puppy.”

“Please, spare me. You’re the strongest, hard-willed woman I know, but when it comes to the Davis brothers, you turn into some weak, little woman, doing whatever they want, whatever they say.”

“I do not!”

“Yeah? So you regularly wear skirts that come down to your ankles and turtle necks all the way up to your chin?”

“Screw you, Hailey.”

“Let me ask you this, if it had been any other man than Chase, what would you have done to him for walking out on you like he did today?”

She would have tracked his ass down, pinned him to the wall and ripped him a new one. She might have gone to an adult toy store and bought a pump to send him with a too sweet note apologizing for not recognizing his problem. All sorts of vindictive, mean spirited ideas came to mind.

“That’s what I thought.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“You didn’t have to. Your expression said it all. You would have hurt and humiliated the bastard, but what did you do with Chase? Jumped out a window and ran away. Why don’t you just keep on running, Patton? Run all the way back to Atlanta, to the life you built there and just admit defeat.”

Admit defeat? Never.

* * * *

Both girls were too involved in their conversation to notice Devin moving past the open garden gate or see his head appearing briefly before he ducked back out of sight. Still thinking that they were alone, their conversation went on uncensored.

Devin closed his eyes and banged his head against the fence. He didn’t need to hear this. From finding out that she was a virgin, to knowing that she wanted not just one, but all three of them to make her a woman, it was just too much.

The idea that she intended to give up, go looking for three other men to take her innocence made his blood boil. He didn’t direct his anger at Patton though. He aimed it at his two hardheaded brothers for putting them all in this situation.

Patton had been right when she said that they weren’t her brothers. They weren’t, not by blood, not by marriage, not by law. They were her self-appointed guardians, nothing more.

Patton’s voice broke through Devin’s thoughts. “I refuse to admit defeat.”

“Then you’re going to die a virgin.”

“Maybe that’s the problem.”

“That’s what I’ve been telling you.”

“No, I mean, maybe if I had some experience, it would help me figure out how to seduce Chase, Slade and Devin.”

“It’s like watching a horse beat its head into a stall door.”

“I’m serious. What I need is a throw away guy.”

“A throw away guy?”

“Yeah, a friend with benefits.”

“That’s never going to work.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’re not the type of woman.”

“I could be.”

“You’ll fall in love and then be in a worse spot for loving four men.”

“Are you going to help or sit there and make pithy little remarks?”

“Fine, you want a throw away guy, I know just the man.”

“You do?”

“Trust me on this one. I’ll give him a call and we’ll get that cherry popped before the end of the week.”

Devin took that cue to end this party. He needed to get Patton back home before Chase got there and realized she’d slipped out on him. When he and Slade found out she’d disappeared from her room, they had thought she’d be back before dark.

Then the sun went down and the brothers started to worry. Neither knew what had happened between Chase and Patton, but they knew what Chase would do if he learned about her escape.

“Does this hunk come with friends? You know after all these years of fantasizing about being taken by three men at once, I’m not sure only one will do.”

“Excuse me,” Devin spoke louder than necessary. “It’s time to come home, Patton.”

His sudden appearance didn’t get so much as a squeak of surprise from the two women. They both turned rounded, glazed eyes on him. The empty beer bottles littered around the loungers told him all he needed to know.
