(I picked up this book because this author chose my prompt for the LHNB event and I wanted to familiarize myself with her work. Let's say I am excited to see what she will create)

There were things I loved about the story, liked about the story and was okay with. So to figure out a rating I am breaking it down and averaging it out.

THE STORY LINE - 2.75 STARS
It's a decent story. A sub (Tate) goes in for a weekend of BDSM fun with a popular Dom (James) and the Dom invites a second sub (Sebastian)...more

When I enjoy a book this much I have a hard time writing a proper review, I just want gush and start yelling things like “Sweet Baby Jesus this was hawt, hawwwwwwwt!” And boy was this one sexy book, but it also completely shocked me by how sweet of a romance it turned out to be. I really wasn’t expecting the emotional journey of the characters and places the book went. There is also a love a triangle – which generally makes me cringe – but this was done in a pretty respectful way to everyone evo...more

Where to start with this deliciously kinky read! Oh yeah...don't let the big gruff looking leather daddy keep you from reading this book. He really isn't at all how you will see James Lucas.

I don't think I can do this book any justice with a review but I'm gonna go on and on a bit about a couple things that I liked about it. The author did a great job in never giving us exactly what we were expecting. That had me flippin pages like crazy!! We get to see these guys in both Master/Sub roles as we...more

4.5 Kisses!!

Whew! I had a feeling once I read the blurb, the book in store for me was going to be an erotic, steamy novel…and I was right. I enjoyed the heated chemistry between Tate and Sebastian and truly hated to see this book come to an end. The blurb does an excellent job at describing the story, so I won’t rehash a lot of it. Instead, I thought I’d write about what I liked about this book and why I’d recommend it to fans of BDSM themed romance.

I'm a bit conflicted with this one ... on one hand the kinky/sexy/smexy stuff was incredible but I just didn't really like the characters or the set up ... it just seemed to artificial ... it was almost cartoon-ish in its perfection ... not a pimple or blemish or sign of human fallibility to be seen ... meh ... I'm left frustrated & I don't know why ...

Don't be fooled by the blurb of this book, this is not an m/m/m romance, although there are a number of menage sex scenes, but rather a love triangle. Tate is a sub without a Dom at the moment. He prefers it that way and isn't looking for commitment. After an amazing afternoon with Dom, James, Tate put his name on James' waiting list and now it's his turn for a weekend of submission. When he visits James for a pre-weekend discussion, James surprises him by telling Tate that he has asked another...more

Whew...gotta catch my breath with this one. This book was recommended to me by Bree Cheese (Thank You Bree!). I probably would have passed it by without her recommendation for two main reasons...the cover combined with the book description which states that the BDSM rating is extreme. I can ignore the cover, but the extreme rating made me a little squeamish. So, so glad I read this one.

I've spent the morning trying to figure out why I didn't find this extreme. Dildos, check. Butt plugs, check....more

This review was originally written for MM Good Book Reviews and can also be found there.

I’ve had a nice experience with one of Elisabeth Lister’s books and while that sounds kinky it’s nothing compared to the sexual tension and chemistry this author can create.

That said, I will get into this review with a warning – this is not a ménage, but rather a triangle which eventually ends with just two men together. It is mentioned in the blurb, but if you’re just skimming it like I did, and reading wha...more

This was a very hot and sizzling BDSM book. The BDSM scenes were outstanding with the domination and submission I enjoy reading. There aren't that many doms with 2 subs stories and I enjoyed this one. Sebastian was so freaking adorable!!!! Talk about stealing a story. I liked him and Tate together. This book felt like a really adult story. Everyone acted liked grown ups. I liked that. The angst did not feel contrived, the story moved well and there was excellent communication throughout. Now for...more

Sweet mercy! One of the hottest books I've read in awhile. A lot of mind play in this Kinky Wonderland, many of which I hadn't shown an interest in before, but here were dirty sexy and beautiful at the same time. Yeah...it's oxymoronic, but true--so deal with it. Mild SM, puppy play, cross dressing, mild humiliation, menage, orgasm restriction and edging.

What really stands out is the exploration of emotions and motives during the play and the characters conclusions about what they want. Powerfu...more

I just finished it and enjoyed it, but incredibly hot though the scenes were, I started to overload on smut a bit. I think it was very well-written but maybe needed just a smidge more plot and emotion. There wasn't anything but The Choice and by that point of the book, it was clear how that would work out. Everyone was so nice and civilized! I wanted a bit more growly possessiveness and jealousy.

It was intriguing how all three of them could switch easily from sub to Dom or vice versa. That added...more

This was a DNF but not because of bad writing or bad story. I think I need something else right now and this wasn't it. I'm sorry. but I am giving this 4 stars based on what I did read.
Forrest
This was a hot read!! Did not see the ending coming though. I was disappointed at first. Loved it!!!
Dee Wy
Full five stars. Reading this story was such a pleasure, the writing smooth and pacing perfect. Exploring this Dom and two-sub menage was quite an erotic trip, with many of the scenes standing out as unique in my experience. The cross-dressing was an interesting exercise in humiliation and the puppy play adorable. Something for everyone in this BDSM adventure. Not to mention a sweet romance.

Highly recommend!
Shannon
Gaaah! I'm having a hard time with this rating. The sex in this book was beyond smoking hot. Like really excellent. The story and the love build up was also fantastic. The chemistry between the three men and especially the two main mcs was also perfect. So why not five stars? I guess because it ended how it had to but I didn't feel all mushy and satisfied. Loved it though.
